"I will be sure to remember your teachings, Master."
Jiang Yang hastily nodded his agreement.
Jiang Yang had not expected to get away with it so easily. He had thought his master would at least examine his cultivation method, and had been ready to take out the Immortal Art. To his surprise, his master merely asked a casual question and let the matter pass.
That was just as well, though. It saved him the trouble of explaining the whole story.
Meanwhile, Chu Qingjian was growing somewhat uncomfortable. Sitting upright with her large frame tucked into the chair was plainly rather cramped, but since Xuan Guang was still asking questions, she could only endure it for now.
Xuan Guang asked whether Jiang Yang needed anything. Jiang Yang naturally shook his head; he currently lacked no resources for cultivation.
Then he asked whether Jiang Yang had any difficulties he needed answered, telling him to ask freely.
Jiang Yang perked up at that. He had no shortage of questions, and was just about to ask about some difficulties he had encountered in the Immortal Gateway Dao Chapter.
"Master, I..."
Yet when the words reached his lips, he could not utter a single one. Once he realized what was happening, he hurriedly switched to several hurdles he had encountered during cultivation and asked Xuan Guang to explain them.
Xuan Guang set down his teacup and answered Jiang Yang's questions one by one. Perhaps because Jiang Yang's cultivation method was unusual, even Xuan Guang had to consider a few of the minor questions before he could give an answer.
The exchange between master and disciple benefited Jiang Yang greatly. Although practicing his method of absorbing qi and nurturing his nature differed somewhat from the cultivation methods of the present day, they shared the same roots.
