Chapter 700: Thinking about it again
...
"How do you feel?"
Before Chen Huaian could utter a word, Hua Jin the True One had already voiced his curiosity regarding the sensations experienced by the two disciples.
"It is a truly miraculous sensation." Liu Shengyan squeezed her hand into a fist, her expression brimming with deep feeling. "Normally, the act of dispersing one's cultivation would leave a person feeling incredibly frail. However, that expected weakness has been replaced by a total relaxation of the body... it feels as though every heavy burden I carried has suddenly been lifted away."
"I share that sentiment." Tang Si gave a firm nod, his eyes filled with absolute admiration as he looked toward Chen Huaian. "To think that there actually exists a pill in this world capable of allowing a painless cultivation dispersion..."
Hehe.
Chen Huaian laughed silently to himself, thinking that they were far too easily moved by something so common.
In the Cangyun Realm, this Cultivation Dispersion Pill was merely a standard, ordinary medicinal pill.
If they were this impressed now, wouldn't these two disciples be overwhelmed with joy when they encountered the vast array of diverse pills in the future?
However, to remain cautious, he had no intention of revealing the top-tier pill formulas of the Cangyun Realm. He wouldn't allow the Celestial God Clan to reap the benefits of other people's struggles.
The pills he had provided were more than enough for the Kunlun Immortal Palace's requirements and sufficient to see his plan through to completion.
"The two of you, step forward before This Venerable One."
Without a moment’s hesitation, Liu Shengyan and Tang Si obeyed, standing respectfully in front of Chen Huaian.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Chen Huaian pointed toward the space between their brows and flicked his fingers.
Whoosh whoosh—!
Two nearly invisible rays of pure light shot into their foreheads.
Contained within those rays were two fundamental introductory techniques: the "Fire Guidance Art" and the "Hundred Herb Compendium."
Simultaneously, he reached into his storage ring, pulled out two very standard brass alchemy furnaces, and tossed them onto the ground before the pair.
"Learn to command the flames and identify the herbs. Your first task is to refine Fasting Pills. Should you fail to produce them, you shall go hungry." Chen Huaian’s tone was steady and calm, yet it carried a weight of authority that could not be challenged.
Liu Shengyan and Tang Si stared at the alchemy furnaces on the floor and the new knowledge blooming in their minds. They were stunned at first, but soon their eyes lit up with an intensity of shock and excitement.
They dropped to their knees, bowing their heads deeply to the floor toward Chen Huaian. "We thank Senior for this immense benevolence!"
Neither disciple was a fool—the Fire Guidance Art and the Hundred Herb Compendium now etched in their memories were hundreds, perhaps even thousands of times more potent than the original teachings of the Kunlun Immortal Palace.
Furthermore, these brass alchemy furnaces, despite their plain appearance, revealed a profound depth once held.
Each small furnace actually housed seven complex, interlocking formations... far more than they could even fully comprehend.
Even if they still possessed their former cultivation, they wouldn't have been able to grasp the mysteries hidden within these arrays.
In addition, the alchemy methods of the Kunlun Immortal Palace relied on mundane fire.
It was nothing like this Fire Guidance Art, which, if mastered to a high level, could even harness celestial flames or utilize Samadhi True Fire for the refining process.
They had heard that such fire was the very essence of the sun, something they had never dreamed of being able to control...
What kind of devastating power would such a flame possess if turned against a foe?
The thought was almost too much for them to imagine.
Sensing their internal thoughts, Chen Huaian felt a bit lost for words.
While it was true that the Fire Guidance Art could tap into Samadhi True Fire at its peak, by the time one reached that level, such fire wouldn't even be considered a particularly high-level method of combat.
Still... it wasn't a bad thing for them to have high aspirations.
"Very well, you may go and begin your practice according to the formulas and the Fire Guidance Art." After finishing his instructions, he produced two storage rings and threw them to the pair. "Within these are the materials required for basic pills for your training. If you find yourselves lacking anything or have queries, you may ask This Venerable One."
The surrounding Ascender disciples all watched with looks of pure envy.
Even the raw materials were provided? This level of treatment was simply incredible.
Having settled the affairs on Earth Star and seeing that there was still some time before the assault on the Demon Sealing Pagoda,
Chen Huaian intended to head back to the Cangyun Realm to cultivate. However, before departing, he made sure to pack several untouched dishes for Li Qingran.
Since Hua Jin the True One possessed such masterful culinary skills, he absolutely had to give his beloved disciple a chance to taste them~
...
Cangyun Realm, the courtyard at the back mountain of the Moon Shadow Sect.
The golden light of the setting sun filtered through the canopy, dancing over the marvelous spirit dishes arranged on the stone table.
Several plates of food brought from Earth Star, glowing with spiritual essence, gave off mouth-watering scents.
Li Qingran sat opposite Chen Huaian with her chin resting in her palms. Her almond eyes were bright and curved into crescents, looking as though they held a galaxy of stars as she gazed intensely at Chen Huaian.
Observing Li Qingran’s sweet and obedient behavior, Chen Huaian couldn't help but smile, his gaze fixed entirely on his lovely little disciple.
Seeing that she wouldn't stop staring, he said with a hint of helplessness, "Why are you looking at your Master like that? Weren't you just complaining that you were hungry?"
Li Qingran blinked, her eyes darting playfully. "Then... then I want Master to feed me~"
Chen Huaian had no intention of saying no. But just as he reached for the chopsticks, his disciple spoke up once more.
"I want Master to feed me using your fingers~"
Fingers... wasn't that a bit improper?
Chen Huaian paused for a moment, but seeing the look of pure anticipation on Li Qingran’s face, he relented.
Considering that cultivators didn't have to worry about germs or filth anyway, he gave a nod.
He pinched a slice of spirit bird meat—cut as thin as a wing and glistening in a golden honey sauce—carefully blew on it to cool it, and moved it toward Li Qingran’s lips.
"Here, try this."
Hearing her master’s soft voice, Li Qingran’s face lit up with joy. Her red lips parted slightly, but she didn't take the food immediately.
Her sparkling eyes moved mischievously as she suddenly darted her tongue out, giving Chen Huaian’s approaching fingertips a quick, light lick.
The sensation was warm, soft, and moist, feeling like the brush of a delicate feather.
"Ah! It's so sweet!" she cried out with feigned astonishment before taking the meat into her mouth. She bit down gently with her white teeth, her cheeks puffing out slightly.
As she chewed, she looked up, her gaze full of a mix of shy success and open provocation. Looking at Chen Huaian, she whispered flirtatiously, "Master's fingers... are they also covered in honey? Why do they taste so sweet too?"
Under Chen Huaian’s stunned stare,
Li Qingran’s ears turned a deep shade of pink, as if they had been painted with rouge.
The spot on Chen Huaian’s fingers where his disciple’s tongue had touched seemed to still hold onto that warm, damp softness.
Witnessing her current state—shy, beautiful, and intentionally teasing—his heart gave a sudden thud, and a wave of heat washed over him.
His Adam's apple moved as he swallowed. "Unfilial Disciple... you, you did that on purpose, didn't you?"
"Not at all~" Li Qingran sang out the words playfully.
She then took a piece of golden-crisp pastry and mirrored Chen Huaian’s action by holding it to his lips. However, her eyes seemed to be woven with lingering threads of desire.
"Master should have a taste as well. Whatever your disciple feeds you... must be more delicious~" She pressed her fingers forward slightly, nearly forcing the treat into his mouth. Her body leaned in close, her collar shifting to reveal a glimpse of pale skin and her elegant collarbone as her fragrance filled his senses.
Chen Huaian opened his mouth to accept the pastry, and his tongue inevitably brushed against her fingertips.
Li Qingran gave a small shiver as if struck by a bolt of lightning, yet she didn't pull away. Instead, she let her fingers graze his lips before finally withdrawing with a red face.
Their eyes remained locked.
The air grew heavy with a thick, sweet scent and a silent, burning passion. Their breathing began to quicken.
Chen Huaian reached out, his hand gently stroking Li Qingran’s burning cheek as his thumb traced the line of her soft lips.
Li Qingran let out a faint, airy moan, her strength leaving her as she slumped into his arms.
"Master... your disciple... your disciple is thinking about it again..." She tilted her head back and closed her eyes, her long lashes shaking like the wings of a butterfly, offering herself to him.
Hearing the flirtatious tone of his little disciple and feeling the warmth of her soft body in his embrace,
How could Chen Huaian possibly restrain himself? He leaned down to kiss her.
But just as their lips were about to touch—
Boom—!!!
The very fabric of heaven and earth shifted!
A massive, overwhelming surge of demonic Qi, like a volcano that had been quiet for thousands of years suddenly exploding, roared into the sky from the distant Void Abyss!
