Li Yingling's unreasonable demands were naturally refuted by Chu Xingchen.
System-provided cultivation techniques are all perfect methods for achieving immortality.
They are even perfectly suited to one's spiritual roots.
Even major immortal sects might not have them; Li Yingling should be grateful to have a chance to cultivate them, let alone be picky.
The main issue was that Chu Xingchen didn't have any other cultivation techniques to offer this girl.
Nighttime.
Li Yingling lay on a cold, hard wooden board. Without her home's soft pillows, she found it really hard to fall asleep.
Although she was wearing clothes, without a blanket covering her stomach, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Li Yingling whispered, "Master."
Chu Xingchen's annoyed reply came:
"What are you doing awake at this hour?"
"The broken temple entrance is drafty... I'm cold."
Chu Xingchen yawned and said, "Get up and walk around, you'll feel less cold and then go back to sleep."
Li Yingling timidly retorted, "But won't I just get cold again after laying down?"
Chu Xingchen said with some frustration, "I told you, that technique is called the Taí Yin Zhen Xuan Water Spirit Scripture. Just practice it boldly!"
"Once you reach the 3rd or 4th layer of Qi cultivation, you won't feel cold anymore."
Li Yingling glanced sideways at the ancient manual of martial arts lying beside her — the Water Spirit Scripture.
Master! It's really hard to believe you when you say that!
Damn it! I chose this master myself, I have to stick with it, even if it makes me cry.
Li Yingling clenched her teeth, got up, and picked up the Water Spirit Scripture, walking over to the fire and opening the first page, looking at the first line.
[This seat is the Water Spirit Saint. This technique is the exclusive skill of the Immortal Saint of Water.]
Whoa! An immortal technique?
Li Yingling felt slightly better and looked at the second line.
[This seat is the Raging Waves Saint. The Water Spirit Saint's writing is too watery! I have revised it! The effect is stronger, feel free to practice!]
Whoa! Even a great powerhouse took the time to revise it?!
Li Yingling nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the third line.
[This seat is the Turbulent Seas Saint. The two above are trash. What nonsense are they writing? Misleading others! I have revised it.]
………????
Li Yingling quickly scanned the first page.
Wow!
The first page was full of sentences starting with "This seat," berating the previous revisions. According to what was written on the first page,
this Water Spirit Scripture had been revised by at least seventeen great powerhouses.
Meaning this was the seventeenth version of a cultivation technique.
Li Yingling trembled as she flipped to the next page.
Please, don't change it anymore!
[This seat…]
Li Yingling felt her eyes go black for a moment but still endured and read on.
[This seat is the North Sea Emperor. Stop fucking changing it! You're too weak and love meddling! I almost went crazy just trying to practice! This version has been revised by me and is the final version! Safe to practice! Another reminder! Stop fucking! Changing it!]
Looking further down,
fortunately, nobody had revised it again.
However, one heavy line of ink after another had covered up all the original text.
The entire page, the only line not covered by ink, was:
Water, the essence of heaven and earth.
Great, a completely useless phrase.
She flipped to the next page decisively.
The entire page was black, but red ink had been written over it, which was then covered by a large black section.
Various colors of ink then turned the whole paper into a mess.
Then white paint was forcefully written over it.
These great powerhouses... really don't want to admit defeat.
The multi-colored words made Li Yingling's eyes blur.
Li Yingling raised her head and looked at Chu Xingchen lying on the wooden board, timidly speaking:
"Master... what if I go insane from practicing, would you manage to save me?"
Chu Xingchen propped himself up, looked at Li Yingling crouching by the fire with the Water Spirit Scripture in her hands, and sighed:
"Just practice it, you won't go insane. Could your master possibly harm you?"
"Master, isn't this really something you bought from the side of the road?"
"Didn't you take a look? Do you think something like this could be found on the side of the road?"
Li Yingling looked down after hearing this.
Indeed... the ink used to fake this cost quite a lot.
Li Yingling timidly said, "Master, I'm really going to practice it. Protect me."
Chu Xingchen stood up from the wooden plank, walked over to Li Yingling's side, and nodded:
"You can rest assured, I'll keep you safe. You'll realize how powerful the Water Spirit Scripture is once you practice it!"
Master! You've already mentioned that it's the Water Spirit Scripture!
But what else can I do?
Li Yingling reluctantly forced herself to read through this seemingly completely changed Water Spirit Scripture.
Then she began to practice according to the technique.
As soon as she started practicing... the feeling was indeed immediately different.
Heaven and earth spiritual qi rapidly condensed and surged towards Li Yingling.
Absorbing the spiritual qi according to the technique, then following the path of the meridians.
Li Yingling felt a natural sensation spreading throughout her body.
Chu Xingchen stared in disbelief as Li Yingling quickly broke through to the first layer of Qi cultivation.
Then, as her aura rapidly solidified, she suddenly broke through to the second layer of Qi cultivation!
This immortal seedling was indeed terrifyingly powerful!
Damn, so envious! After all, she's born with a genius keyword!
[Disciple: Li Yingling has broken through to the 2nd layer of Qi cultivation]
[Returns 100% of the cultivation.]
Chu Xingchen's eyes lit up. What's this? Such a good deal?!
A faint spiritual qi entered his body.
Chu Xingchen quickly sensed this spiritual qi, but ultimately, he didn't feel much from it.
After all, it was only the 2nd layer of Qi cultivation, while he was already at the Gold Core stage. The gap was too large.
Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about being surpassed by this girl.
I will always be one Gold Core stage ahead of her!
Chu Xingchen observed Li Yingling for a while late at night and found she had no major issues.
Then he lay back on the wooden plank, yawned, and was about to continue sleeping.
In any case, the techniques provided by the system shouldn't be a problem.
Then Li Yingling seemed to become addicted to practicing.
She was absorbed from night until dawn.
The sunlight passed through the broken door and illuminated the temple.
"Master! Master!"
Chu Xingchen groggily opened his eyes, met with Li Yingling's pair of eyes filled with admiration.
"Hmm?" Chu Xingchen asked in confusion.
Li Yingling excitedly said, "I've reached the 5th layer of Qi cultivation! I reached the 5th layer in just one night. That Water Spirit Scripture really is a top-tier immortal technique."
Chu Xingchen yawned, rolled over, and was about to continue sleeping but still casually praised:
"Mhm, very good."
Seeing Chu Xingchen intending to sleep,
Li Yingling quickly said, "Master, I haven't reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so I can't turn off my hunger yet. I've been hungry for a whole day. This place is in the wilderness, there's nothing to eat, Master, what should I do?"
Chu Xingchen sighed in frustration:
"Didn't you say yourself this is a remote wilderness? Go outside and catch some wild chickens."
"You're already at the 5th layer of Qi cultivation, you can't possibly be unable to catch a wild chicken, right?"
Li Yingling was stunned.
He wasn't like this when he tricked me into becoming his disciple!
How come he changed the moment I became his disciple.
What would I know about catching wild chickens, but seeing Chu Xingchen lying on the wooden plank unmoving,
fine, maybe... cultivation is just like this?
Just like that Water Spirit Scripture.
Li Yingling comforted herself and picked up a wooden stick, walked out of the temple, and decided to hunt a wild chicken.
Just as she stepped out of the temple entrance, Chu Xingchen's voice came from behind.
"Remember to leave two chicken legs for me."
Li Yingling, who had just stepped into the 5th layer of Qi cultivation, almost stumbled.

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
