Ancient Strengthening Techniques
A good place for a goddess? Become Protector
” You are naughty, what nonsense are you spewing out ?! You're asking for a beating! ’’Yiye Jiange rarely speaks with this tone of voice.
” Sir, you were very helpful back then, so let me give you this gift, ” Qing Shui handed over the Strength Enhancement Fruit, Beauty Enhancement Fruit, and the two Small Revitalization Pellets he prepared.
’’Eh …? The 100 Year Fire Strength Fruit and the Clear Wind Fruit. How did you get these precious things? ” Yiye Jiange asked in amazement.
’’ It's homemade ... if you don't mind .. ’’
Yiye Jiange was tickled by Qing Shui's words and broke into a soft and clear laughter that sounded completely divine. Qing Shui felt an inexplicable excitement when he heard his laughter.
’’ You fluent tongue. You said that/that you made a fruit that could ripen only after a hundred years? Whatisthis? ” Yiye Jiange pointed to a small ceramic bottle containing two Small Revitalizing Pellets. He knew that/it was Qing Shui would explain what they wanted if he wanted to, and decided not to continue.
’I learned some alchemy and cultivated one cauldron of medicinal pills. These are the two pills that I have left especially for you, Your Honor. ” Qing Shui winked as he replied solemnly.
Yiye Jiange smiled and looked at Qing Shui wordlessly.
Qing Shui was unable to withstand his sharp sharp glare and confessed, This ‘’Pelet Small Revitalization is what I recently collected. They can increase your cultivation by twenty percent. ’
Once again, a smile spread across Yiye Jiange's face. Qing Shui felt a hint of surprise and confusion.
’That's the thought that counts; You have to keep it to yourself. Do you have no plans for the future? This should really help your skills. Also, stop implying that/that I am old. I'm not even thirty yet. ’
Qing Shui was stunned for a moment before replying, ’’ One can only consume a maximum of 2 pills. That would be a waste of my extra supplies. I already have mine, and the effect and taste are pretty good. I'm saving this specially for you, but there's not much left now. I'll send some of those pills to Old Master later in the night. I don't even have enough for the other elders. ’
Yiye Jiange did not find it strange that/it Qing Shui could cultivate medicinal pills. He knew that/that he was an outstanding student, and indeed a riddle.
Yiye Jiange took Qing Shui around Cloud Mist Peak for a leisurely stroll. During the walk, both the goddesses like Yiye Jiange and Cloud Mist Peak exuded a calm atmosphere. Qing Shui couldn't help but ask, ” Master, do you eat every day? ’
Perplexed, Yiye Jiange looked at Qing Shui who asked in a sincere earnest manner. The teacher laughed. ’’ I'm actually also human, so of course I eat. Is there something wrong with that? ’
’Eating seems too ordinary for my Master. Everyone who sees Master imagines you to be an otherworldly goddess, a god who can sustain herself with immortal fruits in the mountains or deep forests, ’ Qing Shui rubs her nose, a little embarrassed.
”God? Sounds more like a barbarian. Should I take it as a compliment that/that I don't seem like a human being? As your punishment, you'll be preparing dinner tonight. It should be more beautiful than what I had in the Qing Clan before, ’’ Yiye Jiange grinned.
”Not a problem!”
Qing Shui before was always obedient, full of gratitude, and void of disrespect. It would be a lie to say that/that he has no personal motive – would not miss such a divine god? Qing Shui always had something for older women and goddesses, but this interest could not be done for now.
That night, Qing Shui made use of his Drunken Fragrance Fruit to prepare a table full of sumptuous food. This made Yiye Jiange very impressed as she had not thought about Qing Shui's culinary skills before. The party in the Qing Clan had been prepared by his mother, he did not think that/that this little man could do the same. Judging from the aroma, his abilities seemed to have a higher standard.
On the second day, when Qing Shui finished his morning training, the bell in the Great Hall sounded three times! The voice was melodious but pitiful and piercing! It can sound dozens of miles away, but it's not deafening enough if you're right under the bell.
’’ Qing Shui, let's go. Sect Master is preparing an official inauguration for You and Wu-Shuang, and a ceremony for your nomination as Protector! ’’ Yiye Jiange told Qing Shui who was next to her.
” Shouldn't I have to rely on Master every time I enter? ” Qing Shui asked as they climbed the White Snow Crane.
” Yes, so obey from now on or I will leave you alone on Cloud Mist Peak. ’
Qing Shui listened to the divine voice lecturing him on what could be an ordinary topic. He felt calm and liberated. He knew that/that many were envious of him being Yiye Jiange's student. They not only wanted martial arts, but also daily conversations with a goddess-like presence. One can derive great pleasure from hearing his heavenly voice every day.
When they arrived, there was already a regular crowd gathered in front of the Great Hall. It did not seem as claustrophobic as when seen in front of the vast Great Hall. As the people lined up in rows, Qing Shui scanned the crowd. There were ninety people per line for a total of ninety lines, consisting of eight thousand and a hundred people.
All eyes were on the dumbfounded Qing Shui. They speculated about Qing Shui's identity, but there was no muttering as he descended with Yiye Jiange. Qing Shui was secretly amazed at the strict discipline within the Skysword Sect.
Qing Shui looked at the sea of people. They stand in line with their ranks with a yellow shirt occupying the last row and a red shirt on the front. He looked at Baili Wufeng among the red shirts, and grinned at the aloof young man who actually replied with a rare smile.
The remaining Protectors were dressed in purple, and lined up at the side. Each of them had a silvery-white Indigo Sword, three legs and did not stand among the rows of people.
Within a minute, they all arrived one after another with Baili Jingwei appearing just in time!
’’ Zhu Qing and Jiange. Let the two of them respect the Great Master before announcing their nomination as Protectors! ” Gongsun Sanqian said solemnly.
The respect of their master to the Great Master in the Great Hall In beckoned Qing Shui and Wu-Shuang's official entrance to the Skysword Sect. Qing Shui didn't have the chance to look into the Great Hall before, so he only knew about its width and spaciousness. Now that he had the chance, it was enormous with its dimensions that were hundreds of miles in size, and contained various majestic statues.
Zhu Qing smiled charmingly, ” You two are better prepared for the challenge; your role as Protector will be replaced after you are defeated by non-Protectors. ’
” I'm not afraid of that, heh heh! ” Qing Shui grinned at the beautiful and beautiful looking Zhu Qing.
Gasps could be heard from the crowd below when Qing Shui and Wu-Shuang were announced as Ninety-Nine and a hundred Protectors.
After their announcement, two people came each holding a purple shirt, a silver sword, and a bottle of Tiger vitality pills. The 4 levels of the Skysword Sect Library were open to them! This is the exclusive right of the Protector with entry into the Library being the most coveted privilege.
……..
As if in a daze, Qing Shui rigidly followed what he was told, but only realized that/it was the ceremony over when he saw that/it the crowd had dispersed.
” Sir, didn't you promise me a great gift when I will be part of Skysword Sect? Why haven't I accepted it, especially since the day is almost over? I can't bear to go without it, ” Qing Shui saw a purple shirt, a silver sword, and a bottle of tiger vitality pills in his hand. He remembered what Yiye Jiange had mentioned before.
