Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Yue Lingshan was practicing her sword in the courtyard. Every move she made was beautiful. In addition, Yue Lingshan was a beautiful woman. She and her sword moved like butterflies flitting among flowers, rising and falling, which was very pleasing to the eye.
"Fancy and full of flaws, it's good for nothing except for being pretty." The arrogant woman, Yaoyue a scathing critique.
Yue Lingshan pouted and stopped, looking at Yaoyue with a displeased expression. "Sister Yaoyue, is my Mount Hua Sword Technique really that bad?"
Yaoyue a Void grab, Yue Lingshan's longsword flew directly into her hand.
I'll only demonstrate once, so watch carefully!
As she spoke, Yaoyue began to wield her sword, still using the Mount Hua Sword Technique. The difference was that Yaoyue removed some meaningless moves and added some techniques for transitioning and connecting moves.
With this deletion and addition, the Mount Hua Sword Technique instantly changed its flavor.
If the previous Mount Hua Sword Technique followed an elegant Spiritual Animation style, then the Mount Hua Sword Technique modified by Yaoyue is full of extremely sharp and Unstoppable Advance Haki.
Yue Lingshan watched intently, afraid of missing a single move.
After Yaoyue finished practicing once, she threw the sword back to Yue Lingshan and said, "Practice it again."
Yue Lingshan was naturally intelligent; although she could Photographic Memory, she remembered most of Qiqi.
Since this was originally Mount Hua Sword Technique with only minor modifications, Yue Lingshan quickly followed the modified routine by Yaoyue.
Yue Lingshan immediately sensed the difference.
With her Aura flowing more smoothly and the original stagnation gone, Yue Lingshan knew very well that this change had raised the Mount Hua Sword Technique by at least several levels.
Over the past two weeks, everyone has gotten to know each other quite well. Because Yue Lingshan is the youngest and is Tianzhen and lively, she has won everyone's favor.
Although Yaoyue still maintained her arrogant demeanor, it was clear to everyone that she had accepted everyone; otherwise, she wouldn't have given Yue Lingshan pointers on swordsmanship.
She's cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and she's a hypocrite. She can be stubborn and refuse to Yaoyue's arrogance.
In the past two weeks, everyone's strength has improved incredibly fast. Everyone has reached the Peak Innate, even Yue Lingshan Later and reached the peak of the Peak Innate as well.
But all the women were also stuck at this level.
"Breaking through to the Master is so difficult!" Li Mochou said, sitting down next to Ling Yi after watering the vegetable garden with water mixed with green cesium spirit liquid.
"The difference between the Innate and the Master is a huge watershed," Ling Yi said slowly.
"Those below the Master level govern internal affairs, while those above the Master level govern external affairs. Internal affairs refer to internal Internal Energy, while external affairs refer to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, which is what you call the primordial Heaven and Earth Genki."
"At the Master level, one can draw upon the Heaven and Earth Genki for their own use, increasing the power of each move tenfold or a hundredfold. Only by reaching the Master level can one be considered to have truly stepped into the threshold of cultivation."
" Master is the threshold?" Everyone found it hard to believe.
"Anyone below the Master has a chance to reach that level, provided they have the right training method and are willing to work hard."
"But above the Master, without good aptitude and comprehension, most people will likely be stuck there their entire lives."
"Above the Master is the Grandmaster, above the Grandmaster is the Saint Realm, above the Extreme Saint Realm, above the Saint Realm is the Immortal Realm, and above the Extreme Immortal Realm!"
"However, due to the limitations of this world, the Extreme Immortal Realm is basically the limit."
"What realm are you at now?" Li Mochou asked curiously.
The other three women also perked up their ears, Ling Yi Yishi's cultivation level.
"Me? It's just a simple Immortal Realm." Ling Yi didn't hide anything.
The women were speechless. Immortal Realm! What kind of realm was that? They couldn't even imagine it.
"So, you're from Central Province? Only Central Province has Legend of immortals."
Ling Yi scoffed dismissively, "What immortals are there in Central Province Central Province? At most, there's only one Saint Realm expert, and he's a lunatic. The rest are just pseudo-gods."
"False gods? What are those?"
"A bunch of idiots who clearly deserve to die, but who still cling to life with the help of various divine artifacts, attempting to secretly control the Central Province."
"Young Master really comes from Central Province! Yes, only Central Province can produce a strong person like you!" Yue Lingshan exclaimed.
"I am not from Central Province. The place I came from is very, very far away. I'm afraid I'll never be able to go home in this lifetime."
Ling Yi had already rummaged through West City in the system's inventory. He could be invincible in the current world, could reset the world infinitely, and could even create his own world.
However, they couldn't find a way to travel back in time.
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, everyone's imaginations began to run wild. Not being from Central Province and unable to return home—what did these two pieces of information suggest?
The Immortal Realm!
If there are "immortals" in this world, then it is only natural that there is Immortal Realm in people's minds.
Ling Yi was unaware that they had misunderstood; he simply lay on the recliner like a limp rag.
"Recently, a master swordsman has appeared in the martial arts world during the Songming and Jianghu, using the long-lost Bixie Sword Technique."
Seeing that Ling Yi didn't want to talk about it anymore, Li Mochou changed the subject.
" Lin Pingzhi?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
"No, that man's name is Ye Huan, and he's said to be the son of Ye Baiwan from the Ye Clan in Fuzhou City."
" Ye Baiwan? That nouveau riche from the Eastern District? I think his son is a big fat guy?"
Ye Baiwan was quite famous in Fuzhou City, but his son Ye Huan was even more famous. Ling Yi had met him a few times before, and wow, he was so fat that he was panting heavily when he walked; he looked exhausted.
But this fat guy learned the Bixie Sword Manual and became a master? That's ridiculous!
"No, he's not fat anymore. In fact, he's all muscle and quite handsome!"
"Have you lost weight?"
"It's not about losing weight; this is even more bizarre than his Bixie Sword Technique. It's said that he transformed from a fat man into a handsome man overnight."
"And from then on, he became a master."
"Does the Bixie Sword Manual also have weight-loss effects?" That's truly a strange thing.
"I don't know about that, but Ye Huan seems to have become a completely different person after that. He's become extremely high-profile and even built a Storytelling House in the East District."
Ling Yi reopened his eyes. Why did this guy's tactics feel so familiar?
"He wouldn't be telling stories in Storytelling House, would he?"
"He doesn't just tell stories; he also sells information. It's said he can know Wu Bai into the past and Wu Bai years into the future. There's nothing in the Jianghu that he doesn't know."
"Ha, how laughable! Even a Mud Buddha wouldn't dare to speak so recklessly. He's probably a fraud!" Aojiao Yaoyue sneered, her face full of disdain.
"Whether he's a fraud or not, I don't know, but the stories he told were quite interesting," Li Mochou said.
"Sister Mochou, have you heard of it?" Yue Lingshan asked curiously.
Li Mochou shook her head and said, "I haven't heard it, but the story Ye Huan told has been written into a storybook. I've only read the storybook, and it is indeed quite interesting."
"Are there still any of those storybooks?" Ling Yi became completely interested. Could he be hearing some familiar names?
Li Mochou nodded, returned to her room, and after a moment took out a book and handed it to Ling Yi.
Looking at the words " The Zhu Xian: Qingyun Chronicles " on the cover, Ling Yi's lips twitched. It really was just as he had thought.
It seems I'm not the only transmigrator in this world, or perhaps Ye Huan is the real Protagonist?
Ling Yi became somewhat interested in this guy.
"Interesting, when does he give lectures?"
"Would you like to listen to a storyteller, young master? Ye Huan starts his lectures at the beginning of Chen Shi (7-9 AM) and ends at the end of Si Shi (9-11 AM). He doesn't lecture at other times; he just occasionally tells some interesting stories from the Jianghu or sells some information."
"Hmm, between eight and eleven o'clock? Then I'll listen to the audiobook tomorrow morning."
Everyone was naturally happy with Ling Yi's decision, since the women Bored with nothing but cultivating every day.
"Then we should go early, or there won't be any seats left," Li Mochou added.
Ling Yi stroked the white fox in his arms, his mind filled with various thoughts.
Ye Huan is definitely a time traveler; it's just unknown whether there are any other time travelers in this world.
If so, the world will surely become incredibly lively in the future.
If not, then we need to see what kind of cheat codes this guy has and what kind of methods he uses.
Is it a battle for supremacy, or Old Liu?
Ling Yi was filled with anticipation.
The next morning, Ling Yi left home early with the four women.
However, before leaving, Ling Yi gave each of the four a Shapeshifting Mask.
This Shapeshifting Mask is one of the magical items in the system's inventory. After using it, one can transform into the image of anyone according to their thoughts.
Yue Lingshan and the others all transformed into ordinary-looking girls, except for Yaoyue, who transformed back into herself.
"Hey sis, what's the difference between wearing a mask or not? You might as well just take it off," Lianxing said, rubbing her forehead.
"Is there something wrong with it? I don't want to look like someone else; I am who I am."
"Fine, you are you, you are a unique spark," Ling Yi said, unconcerned.
The reason everyone was made to change their appearance was because these women were all beautiful and had a great deal of impact, which might cause a lot of trouble.
Of course, Ling Yi was just finding it troublesome, not afraid of trouble. Besides, this was Yaoyue; who would dare to offend her?
Seeing Lianxing walking with a limp, Ling Yi patted his forehead and said he would heal Lianxing's leg when he got back.
Ultimately, it's not perfect!
Seemingly noticing Ling Yi's gaze, Lianxing's expression dimmed slightly.
"When you come back from listening to the story, I'll try to heal your leg."
"Do you have a way?" Before Lianxing could speak, Yaoyue asked excitedly.
"Yes, it's very simple for me."
"If you can heal Lianxing's leg, I can grant you any request," Yaoyue said solemnly.
"No need, it's just a small favor."
Yaoyue really wanted to say, "Why don't we go back now and heal Lianxing's leg first?"
But seeing Ling Yi's enthusiastic expression, he ultimately didn't say anything.
Although Ling Yi and his group arrived very early, there were still no seats available when they got to the Storytelling House.
Fortunately, there were still private rooms available on the second floor, but the price was a bit high.
However, Ling Yi is not short of money now. Not to mention that Yaoyue and Lianxing are carrying large sums of silver notes, Ling Yi's bear warehouse still contains several thousand taels of silver that Zuo Lengchan brought over last time.
At this moment, Ye Huan, who was about to go on stage to tell stories, suddenly froze before stepping onto the stage.
"Ding! One of the mission objectives has been detected. Please complete the mission as soon as possible..."
"Ding! An abnormal status detected. The task is temporarily canceled!"
"Ding! Due to special circumstances, this system has temporarily disabled the Invincible Defense of the Storytelling Pavilion."
"What do you mean? What's an abnormal state? Have you got a virus?"
"Hey, I'm still using this Invincible Defense to show off today. If you turn off the temporary defense, what about my safety?"
However, Ye Huan's system went offline and stopped responding to Ye Huan.
