Chapter 3, Lesson 1: Introduction

Ah, with a little less work each day, I can spend more time on my practice

Accompanied by the continuous reminders of her senior brother, Lan Ling'e was brought to the main peak of the Du Xian Sect

Li Changshou waited for a moment by the side, flicked his fingers slightly, and two small water columns erupted from the surface of the lake. Two catfish were propelled out of the water, and he drew them in mid-air, wrapping them in water to form water spheres, which he then sent into his sleeve

Thank you, Senior Brother, " Lan Ling'e replied softly, her voice as delicate as a mosquito's buzz.

Inside the hall, Lan Ling'e watched as her senior brother took out two spirit fish and chatted amiably with a middle-aged Taoist priest responsible for the registration within the gate, unable to help but blink her eyes

Li Changshou cleared his throat, organized the teaching ideas he had prepared earlier, and ultimately decided to start from the small aspects, guiding his junior sister from the little things.

Lan Ling'e's big eyes instantly sparkled, and her small hand tugged at her senior brother's robe as she lowered her head in admiration

The lake water is exceptionally clear, and the fish swimming within it frolic freely and carefree.

Senior brother he ... ...

Thus, he spoke earnestly: "Firstly, the height of the airspace within the door should not be too high, nor too low; at great heights, there are often some senior figures passing through, and encountering them directly can easily lead to offense

What a mature statement

This junior sister is indeed quite adorable

Li Changshou walked towards the lakeside with his hands behind his back, "Let’s first take a look at the spirit fish raised in the lake; these are all valuable items and also an important component of our Qiongfeng assets"

At the summit of Po Tian Peak, there stands a celestial palace, which serves as the meeting place for the sect leader, elders, and peak masters. It is also a no-fly zone on ordinary days, and disciples are not permitted to approach without special authorization. Located halfway up Po Tian Peak, there is a cluster of pavilions and halls built in accordance with the mountain's terrain, where numerous figures can be seen moving about each day

Once you have mastered your first breath, we shall hold a feast featuring the spirit fish. This colorful-scaled spirit fish, known as the Li Tun, is not only delicious but can be prepared in various ways—pan-fried, steamed, grilled, or deep-fried—each method yielding exquisite flavors. Moreover, it is rare that it can enhance the quality of the first breath of spiritual energy for the energy cultivators.

Thank you, Senior Brother

I could only hear the gentle voice of my senior brother coming from the side

Li Changshou took his newly arrived junior apprentice around the grass hut twice, designating an area for the construction of a new grass hut. He then cast a spell to summon a white cloud, riding the cloud with Lan Ling'e to fly into the mountains.

Therefore, after a century of exploration, this senior brother has concluded a suitable altitude for flying within the mountain gate, which is to ascend from our residence to an altitude of thirty to fifty zhang. At this height, one rarely encounters fellow disciples, let alone esteemed seniors.

As she stepped out of the thatched cottage, Lan Ling'e's eyes, resembling black pearls, appeared somewhat devoid of color, and her entire being was swaying unsteadily, her steps somewhat unsteady.

"No need, this is what the senior brother should do," Li Changshou replied with a smile, leading Lan Ling'e past the roadside to the hall bearing the plaque 'Baifan Hall'.

Her cautious demeanor makes it seem as if the fish food might shatter the beautiful scales of the spirit fish

Lan Ling'e blinked her eyes; although she did not fully understand, she still obediently said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother"

A stream of spirit fish swam in from all directions, and the lakeside suddenly became lively, causing Lan Ling'e's eyes to shine with excitement.

Lan Ling'e could not help but ask: "Can you also fly in the sky standing on a celestial crane, Senior Brother?"

Therefore, this is also referred to as Po Tian Peak

This mountain peak is located at the very center of the Duxianmen mountain range, and it is the most towering and highest peak; as if the Sword of Breaking Heaven has pierced into the clouds.

What is it, Senior Brother

Beside her, Lan Ling'e was momentarily stunned and quietly asked, "Senior brother, why did you put the fish in your sleeve?"

Therefore, it is best not to draw their attention; simply greet them if encountered and fulfill one's own duties adequately

Leaving a good impression does not necessarily yield any benefits, while leaving a bad impression will inevitably pose certain risks

Through the introduction of her senior brother, Ling'e also learned that this is the 'office' where the Du Xian Sect handles internal affairs. Disciples from various peaks must come here to receive their monthly supplies and regularly report on their progress in cultivation.

Lan Ling'e was diligently taking notes beside her, unaware that she had already been designated as a newly appointed gardener by her senior brother. Listening to her senior brother's warm voice, she couldn't help but recall her mother, who had always spoken in gentle tones.

"Gift giving," Li Changshou said calmly, "Although our Du Xian Sect is a sect of immortality cultivation, the ways of human relationships are quite similar to those in the secular world. I will take you to register shortly; we cannot go empty-handed."

Although the atmosphere inside the door appears peaceful on the surface, there is indeed competition lurking beneath. Many are concerned about trivial rankings, and if one flies too low, it becomes easy to be targeted by them

Thank you, senior brother

Thank you, Senior Brother

It is not a problem, just come over here when you are done playing

A large hand reached over again, holding a small cloth pouch inside. "This contains fish food. If you like it, the daily task of feeding the fish will be entrusted to you from now on."

Li Changshou smiled calmly beside him

Li Changshou walked away with his hands behind his back towards the nearby medicinal herb garden. Lan Ling'e glanced at the group of fish gathered by the lake, waved gently at them, and hurriedly followed after him

Lan Ling'e hurriedly followed, stepping on the soft grass, and tiptoed to gaze into the lake

Hmm! Lan Ling'e nodded heavily, also captivated by these spiritual fish, continuously emitting soft sounds of admiration

Li Changshou's voice echoed in Ling'e's ears, tirelessly imparting wisdom: "Ling'e, you must remember, not being the focus of attention and lowering your sense of existence is the best way to avoid being entangled in cause and effect.

Walking on the bluestone path, Lan Ling'e was astonished to discover that she and her senior brother seemed to be invisible. There were various fellow disciples around, yet not a single gaze fell upon them.

"As long as it can manipulate objects, it is fine," Li Changshou gently pointed at the white cloud beneath his feet. Suddenly, the cloud emitted a soft cry, and a large celestial crane spread its wings, carrying the two of them as it flew forward slowly.

Lan Ling'e raised her small hand and scattered fish food into the water, where the spirit fish swarmed and swayed, playing joyfully.

Junior sister, you must remember that being noticed by these senior experts carries a 50% chance of leaving a good impression and a 50% chance of leaving a bad impression

Li Changshou's large hand reached over from the side, gently brushing over her head, and said softly

These are merely simple tricks to deceive the eye. In comparison to these, when you are to hover within the door in the future, you must also remember a few things

Li Changshou said gently: "The Peiyuan Ningxi Dan has no toxicity whatsoever, and its medicinal properties are very mild. Even ordinary people who have not yet cultivated can use it to replenish their vital energy"

From now on, you will also be a part of Xiaoqiongfeng. I will first take you around to familiarize yourself with the surroundings

The scenery on Xiaoqiongfeng is quite nice, but there is not much that needs to be introduced

Was that really a grand oath about confidentiality just now

Beside the medicinal herb garden, Li Changshou briefly introduced the types and effects of the hundreds of spiritual herbs within it

Oh, Ling'e remembers!

Later, after Master has recovered from the effects of the medicine, cough, after finishing his meditation, he should impart to you the foundational principles of the practice. If you have any questions regarding the path of cultivation, feel free to ask me at any time

The elixir melted instantly upon contact with the saliva in her mouth, resembling a sip of sweet spring water, causing her to involuntarily emit a soft hum, instantly invigorating her spirit

I have improved a technique for concealing one's presence; I will teach it to you once you have made progress in your training

... ...

Lan Ling'e responded happily, took the cloth bag, poured out some rice grains from inside, and scattered them onto the surface of the lake

Li Changshou raised his left hand, waving his sleeve, scattering a handful of rice grains, while calling out: "Dinner is served!"

Furthermore, one must not fly too low, as flying at a low altitude may lead to traversing areas with buildings located on some mountain peaks

Even if someone occasionally casts their gaze this way, it will merely glide past smoothly

Senior brother is indeed very handsome, and he considers matters very thoughtfully

Lan Ling'e timidly responded, took the elixir, and turned to place it in her mouth.

"Look," Li Changshou pointed at several spirit fish with colorful scales, "Aren't they beautiful?"

From this perspective, having a junior female colleague is also quite commendable

Here, a hand reached over from the side, holding a light green elixir in its palm

Lan Ling'e's forehead immediately bore two black lines, "Do you want to eat?"

What is the purpose of raising them otherwise

Lan Ling'e listened to her senior brother's lengthy discourse, making an effort to remember all of it in her heart, and could not help but look up at her senior brother's chiseled face.
