When Earth Awakened, I Became a Sword Saintess

Chapter 83 : Body Cultivation with Chen Qian'ning

83: Body Cultivation with Chen Qian'ning

Yuyin’s chest heaved noticeably as she took deep breaths… Not enough, completely not enough… The Primordial Energy here was still too thin. It couldn’t satisfy her, couldn’t meet the demands of the secret method she now cultivated.

Yuyin also heard the commotion outside.

"It seems I can’t practice this Feather Absorption method here in the future. Although those people outside might not discover anything, if it attracts the attention of the academy’s teachers or other experts, it could cause trouble."

Yuyin couldn’t help but lick her lips lightly.

Come to think of it, the environment where the celestial maidens who cultivated this "Flying Sky" lived in the distant past had Primordial Energy far exceeding that of present-day Earth. Otherwise, how could such a secret method be cultivated?

Moreover, even so, the amount of Primordial Energy absorbed in this one hour was, compared to the God-Devouring Chess space, equivalent to only the daily gain of two or three three-star pieces. Yuehu Lake and Yushan Mountain were known as the most Primordial Energy-rich places in Lingdu, and this was all there was. The Primordial Energy on Earth was simply too thin.

This secret manual had been brought back decades ago by Old Master Hu, who had risked his life to make a rubbing from the ancient murals in a cave on The Other Side. In other words…

"From the Prison Abyss? Could it be… this is a cultivation method suitable for the environment of the Prison Abyss?"

A guess formed in Yuyin’s heart.

It seemed this Feather Absorption method had to be practiced in a place with few people and abundant Primordial Energy, for instance, at night, or on Yushan Mountain during the weekend.

Tomorrow, she would take "Imperial Daughter Body Refinement" for her teacher to see. Then, she could cultivate her body at the academy and cultivate her Primordial Energy outside. This university life was turning out to be fulfilling and wonderful.

Yuyin suddenly remembered a problem.

"Oh no, ‘Imperial Daughter Body Refinement’ exists in the God-Devouring Chess space. How can I show it to my teacher?"

She only had a counterfeit version she had exchanged from Elder Dai. That one was useless. Besides, although secret manuals exchanged from the Underground Alliance were not allowed to be passed on to outsiders, this "Imperial Daughter Body Refinement," through Yuyin’s optimization via the God-Devouring Chess, had been improved who knows how many times over. It was already a different secret method entirely. Moreover, it was a dual cultivation method. How could she show it to someone else without explaining the dual cultivation? Besides, her teacher wasn’t an outsider, so that wasn’t a problem.

The issue was, how to turn "Imperial Daughter Body Refinement" back into a book…

It seemed there was no other way but to honestly transcribe it again.

Yuyin drove her time-saving sports car back to her downtown apartment that night. Using the extra blue, ancient-style imitation books she had bought before, she began to transcribe the golden text from her consciousness. She could only do her best to draw the demonstrations of the ethereal female figure one by one with a brush. Fortunately, Yuyin had been good at drawing when she was a boy, and combined with her current realm, she could draw them rather vividly.

She wrote and drew until the next morning before she was finished.

This morning was the tall, thin teacher’s class. She had originally thought about giving him face, but now that she was a Direct Disciple, she decided not to go to his very first class. It would inevitably invite gossip and make people think she was arrogant… Oh well, she couldn’t worry about it.

Yuyin’s energy and stamina were just too abundant now. Not sleeping for a day was nothing at all. She took a shower, thinking that wearing sportswear last time she went to the teacher’s office had been a bit disrespectful. Today, she would dress more formally. So she changed into a tight white blouse, a hip-hugging black miniskirt, and black stockings. After dressing appropriately, she drove back to the academy.

In the afternoon, Yuyin arrived at Chen Qian'ning’s office.

Chen Qian'ning was still wearing her female teacher’s professional attire. This time, compared to Yuyin, their outfits looked rather well-matched.

Taking the secret manual from Yuyin and seeing it was a modern imitation of an ancient book, Chen Qian'ning frowned slightly. "Xia Yuyin, you’re bringing me something like this to see?"

"Teacher, I bought this book and transcribed it by hand. Please, just open it and take a look." Yuyin said.

Chen Qian'ning opened it with a hint of impatience, but the moment she started reading, she was completely captivated. Her fair hand picked up the narrow, black-rimmed glasses from the desk and put them on. She read page after page with rapt attention, her chest heaving more and more noticeably. She even forgot Yuyin was there.

A long while later, she remembered Yuyin was beside her. "Yuyin… where did you get this book from?"

"This… Teacher…" Yuyin was a bit conflicted. Although she felt she could trust Chen Qian'ning, the matter of the God-Devouring Chess was too fantastical. Yuyin couldn’t for the moment decide if she should tell a second person. She would not do something rashly without thinking it through clearly.

"Oh, it’s fine. If it’s inconvenient to say, then don’t. It’s not important… it’s not important…" Chen Qian'ning’s insight was extraordinary, but she had never seen a female body refinement method so far beyond the ordinary. Compared to it, the other methods she had cultivated were no more than TV aerobics.

"How amazing… This is a dual cultivation method. I’ve never seen a body refinement method for two women to cultivate together." Chen Qian'ning said, her fair hands trembling slightly.

"Teacher, this is precisely what I’m troubled by. Although I’ve already mastered the first few movements, the advanced movements require two people to cultivate together. Moreover, it must be with a female practitioner of powerful Primordial Energy, and the more powerful, the better… Where am I to find such a strong female expert?" Yuyin said, an ambiguous, troubled look in her eyes.

Chen Qian'ning was breathing heavily. She placed the secret manual on the desk and subconsciously pressed her hand down on it. A flush of mature red appeared on her face due to her excitement over the manual. Her crimson lips parted: "I can cultivate it together with you!"

"Huh?" Yuyin was inwardly excited, her heart beating faster, but she managed to hold herself in check.

"If you… don’t mind, Yuyin, our academy doesn’t do that ‘a day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father’ stuff. Although I am your teacher, I can’t force you to cultivate your secret method. This must be decided by you." Chen Qian'ning said, her shoulders, straight in her professional attire, trembling slightly.

"But… you are my teacher. Cultivating together with me, a student, wouldn’t it make things difficult for you, Teacher?"

Chen Qian'ning stood up. "What are you saying, Yuyin? I am the Department Head, but I am also a female cultivator. Besides from teaching students, I also shoulder the heavy responsibility entrusted to me by the people of Huaxia. For such an excellent cultivation method, of course I want to cultivate it. Why care about the identities of teacher and student? Don’t you think so, Yuyin?"

"Mm, what Teacher says makes sense…" Yuyin nodded.

Seeing that Yuyin was still a bit hesitant, Chen Qian'ning walked around the desk, pushed the secret manual into Yuyin’s hands, and held it open together with her.

"Then it’s settled, shall it? Teacher will cultivate this body refinement secret method together with you." Chen Qian'ning’s breath, slightly rushed, brushed by Yuyin’s ear.

Although Yuyin was cold and proud, it was hard to resist the attack of the breath on her ear. She smiled inwardly and nodded with composure: "Mm."

"Then good, why don’t we start now?" Chen Qian'ning’s face was flushed, as if dry firewood had met a raging blaze. She could barely contain herself.

"Now?" Yuyin also hadn’t expected the plan to go this smoothly. She had dressed so formally to come here.

"Then, should I go back and change my clothes?"

"There’s no need. In the future, we can properly wear fitness clothes or rhythmic attire to cultivate together. Today, this is fine. Look, isn’t Teacher also wearing this set?" Chen Qian'ning adjusted her black-rimmed glasses lightly. Her words by Yuyin’s ear were like a suggestion, yet also like a command.

"Then… alright." Yuyin’s gaze fell on her own thin blouse, which was stretched taut. She nodded lightly.
