"Xueqi is still the best. Although she is also cold and taciturn, she is not like this. I absolutely, absolutely cannot let Lu Xueqi become like this in the future," Li Qingan secretly vowed in his heart.
"Wenmin, take him to the Moon Gazing Terrace," Shuiyue instructed a disciple waiting outside the door, unaware of Li Qing'an's opinion of her.
"Yes, Master," Wenmin nodded with a smile.
"Junior Brother Li, come with me!" Wen Min smiled at Li Qing'an.
"Thank you, Senior Sister." Li Qing'an breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to leave.
Without hesitation, he followed Wenmin out of Jingzhu Pavilion and headed to Wangyue Terrace.
And Tian Ling'er followed her instructions, keeping an eye on him to see if he would do anything wrong.
However, before he could get far from Jingzhu Pavilion, he was surrounded by female disciples again.
He was truly surrounded. Li Qing'an saw numerous disciples no more than a foot away from him, and while trying to avoid them, he could also smell the various fragrances of women.
The female disciples in front of me kept asking all sorts of questions.
When he mastered the art of transmitting sound, his hearing became even more acute. Therefore, while Li Qing'an was enjoying the experience, he couldn't help but feel that it was noisy in his ears.
"Junior Brother Li, how did you break through so quickly?"
"Junior brother, I heard that the spirit gathering array used by our Qingyun Sect disciples was all invented by you. You are amazing!"
"How is your cultivation level now?"
"What brings you to Xiaozhu Peak this time? Are you really here to find your sweetheart?"
"Junior brother, what do you think of me?"
"........."
Hearing these questions that were increasingly turning into political intrigue, Li Qingan quickly answered a few simple questions.
Unexpectedly, seeing that Li Qing'an was taciturn and appeared innocent, the female disciples became even more enthusiastic, surrounding him relentlessly.
Li Qing'an finally realized that three women make a drama, but the ones in front of him were far more than three—there were at least thirty!
Although the fragrant breeze was refreshing and the female disciples were quite pleasing to the eye, his ears couldn't take it, and his heart couldn't take it either.
Meanwhile, Tian Ling'er was unable to squeeze in from the outside of the crowd, her face flushed with anger, and she could only watch as the female disciples' actions became increasingly outrageous.
Fortunately, Wen Min noticed Li Qing'an's predicament in time and quickly stopped the Xiaozhu Peak disciple's actions.
"Alright, look at yourselves now, do you still have the manners of a Little Bamboo Peak disciple? Do you still have the dignity of a woman?"
At this point, Wenmin blushed, because she also wanted to ask some questions, which was why she had previously let her junior sister have her way.
The female disciples who had been scolded also came to their senses from this frenzy, realized that their behavior was inappropriate, their faces turned red, and they quickly dispersed, apologizing to Li Qing'an repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, Junior Brother Li, we were just too excited."
"It's okay, Senior Sister."
After Li Qingan finished speaking, he quickly walked to Wen Min's side to prevent them from surrounding her.
"No, I'm just an ordinary person. Why do you treat me like those idols from my past life are seeing a celebrity?"
Tian Ling'er, who finally found an opportunity, quickly ran in front of Li Qing'an, trying to block the female disciples' view.
However, Li Qing'an and Tian Ling'er were numerous and could not be stopped at all.
Seeing this, Wen Min chuckled inwardly as if she knew something, quickened her pace, and led Li Qing'an and Tian Ling'er away from this 'place of trouble'.
At this moment, Shuiyue stood outside Jingzhu Pavilion, pointing at Li Qingan's departing figure, and said to Su Ru.
"Junior sister, look at your disciple. He has disturbed the peace of my Little Bamboo Peak for many years as soon as he arrived."
Su Ru spoke calmly, taking a sip of tea to defend Li Qing'an.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister, Xiao An knows what she's doing. Besides, Xiao An was brought back by you, has a good relationship with Xue Qi, and has some connection with Xiao Zhu Peak."
“He has only been a disciple of your Dazhu Peak for two short years, and you are already protecting him like this.”
“I would like to, but Xiao An is a very opinionated person. He doesn’t usually require me or Buyi to do anything. On the contrary, we have benefited a lot from him, so we should treat him better.”
Before Shuiyue could speak, Su Ru spoke again.
"Besides, didn't you tell me about the situation you encountered with Xiao An and Xue Qi two years ago? Do you think Xiao An would be that kind of person?"
Shuiyue sighed, recalling the scene from over a year ago when she saw Li Qing'an, his head bleeding, still protecting Xueqi behind him. She was speechless.
This is one of the reasons why she let Li Qing'an go up the mountain.
"So, Senior Sister, you don't need to worry about anything. After all, even if you're worried, can you really change Xueqi's mind?" Su Ru said, looking at her senior sister who was looking somewhat dejected.
You've managed to be a good guy both inside and outside the family!
Shuiyue raised her head and said to Su Ru in an annoyed tone.
"Senior Sister, Xiao An asked me to bring some good things to Xiaozhu Peak." After saying that, Su Ru took out several Dao techniques created by Li Qing An and explained their effects in detail.
"This is the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Technique, and this is the Sword Control Technique."
Shuiyue looked at the two books in front of her, and then thought of the spirit-gathering array inside the gate, as well as Li Qing'an's talent.
"Truly an unparalleled prodigy."
Shuiyue thought of the white-clad figure from the past, and felt a pang of sadness. She sighed, "I'm afraid even he can't compare to this Li Qing'an."
[Guys, this is amazing, absolutely gorgeous!]
Chapter 22 The Cultivation Technique: The Sun and Moon Shining Together - Moon Essence Chapter
The Moon Gazing Platform is located on the summit of Xiaozhu Peak. The entire stone platform extends from the mountaintop and is surrounded by weeping bamboo. Some clouds and mist drift here, making the whole place quite serene.
At this moment, Li Qing'an and Tian Ling'er had followed Wen Min through the Tearful Bamboo Forest to the Moon Gazing Platform.
With a meaningful look in her eyes, Wen Min asked Tian Ling'er behind her, "Ling'er, haven't you already gotten tired of this place? Why are you still coming along?"
On a sudden inspiration, Tian Ling'er stepped forward, hugged Wen Min's arm, and said in a coquettish tone.
"Senior sister, I'm here to keep an eye on this guy, lest he break the rules of our Little Bamboo Peak."
"Oh~"
When Tian Ling'er saw Wen Min's gaze, she stuck out her tongue at her, looking coquettish.
Wen Min glanced at the two of them meaningfully, then stopped asking questions and turned to introduce them to Li Qing'an.
“Junior Brother Li, this is our Moon-Viewing Platform of Xiaozhu Peak. It is especially magnificent at night. You will know once you see it with your own eyes tonight. Sometimes the disciples of Xiaozhu Peak also come here to cultivate.”
“It’s still early, Junior Brother, you can look around. Ling’er knows what to watch out for, so I’m at ease with her watching over you. Finally, I hope this Moon Gazing Platform will grant you your wish.”
Wen Min spoke gently, and then took her leave.
"Thank you, senior sister."
Seeing Wen Min leave, Tian Ling'er snorted and said:
"When we were going up the mountain just now, I don't know whose eyeballs almost popped out!"
"It's just a misunderstanding," Li Qingan explained.
"I don't think it's a misunderstanding. Your eyes just kept wandering to other people, didn't they...?" Tian Ling'er stared at Li Qing'an, disbelieving.
"Where should I be looking?" Li Qingan asked back, looking at Tian Ling'er.
"You...you scoundrel!" Tian Ling'er stamped her foot angrily when she couldn't win the argument.
Li Qingan smiled, patted Tian Ling'er's head, and looked towards the Moon Gazing Platform.
As the name suggests, the Moon-Viewing Terrace is a place where you can only see the moon at night.
But it was still early and the moon had not yet appeared, so he and Tian Ling'er could only wander around the area.
Name: Li Qing'an
Location: Central Plains, Qingyun Gate
[Realm]: Sixth level of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao Jade Purity Realm
[Taoist Techniques]: Wood, Water, and Earth Array Runes; Spirit Gathering Array; Sword Control Technique; Self-created Basic Taoist Techniques; Basic Taoist Techniques of Dazhu Peak
[Work-Rest Balance]: When you achieve a balance between work and rest, the longer your rest time, the stronger the effect of your practice. Current rest time: 67 days, 6 hours.
As dusk approached, Li Qing'an sat cross-legged in the center of the Moon-Viewing Platform, while Xiao Luo, who had recovered, stretched out her limbs and neck and slowly crawled on the platform.
Tian Ling'er remained beside Li Qing'an, watching him as if he might disappear from her sight in an instant and run off to other places on Xiaozhu Peak.
As the moon rises, its light spreads across the sky like a silver veil, and the bright moon emerges from the gaps in the dark blue clouds.
Li Qing'an stared wide-eyed at the scene, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder it is one of the six scenic spots of Qingyun.
Even the full moon over my hometown that I saw as a child lying on the grass outside the orphanage, after countless revisions in my mind as an adult, could not compare to the breathtaking beauty of what is right before my eyes at this moment.
Coming to his senses, Li Qingan looked at Xiao Luo, who was lying on the platform, stretching her neck and gazing at the moon in the sky. Her eyes, as small as mung beans, showed a longing look, and the runes on her back emitted an even more dazzling light.
"What happened to Xiao Luo?"
Tian Ling'er, sensing something was amiss, couldn't help but become curious.
"It'll be fine in a bit, don't bother me later."
Tian Ling'er pouted in dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything more. She silently watched Li Qing'an and kept a close eye on the surrounding movements.
Before she came, she asked what she was doing at Xiaozhu Peak. Su Ru just told her not to bother Li Qing'an and didn't say anything else.
"It looks pretty good this way, but it's a bit too annoying." Tian Ling'er looked at Li Qing'an's face under the moonlight, her face slightly flushed.
At this moment, Li Qingan had already placed Xiao Luo in front of him and touched Xiao Luo's tortoise shell. Although the tortoise shell had various raised patterns, it was very smooth.
Then close your eyes and bring your whole body to its best state.
He saw the rest time on his panel instantly reset to zero, and then he stacked the transformation effect again, three times in total, increasing the cultivation effect to 16 times its original value, but the duration was reduced to one hour less.
Li Qingan felt better than ever before: "That should be enough."
He instantly entered a meditative state, and the vital energy within his body circulated freely according to the Great Circulation at an incredible speed.
He then began to recall the books in his mind, ponder how the moonlight from the sky entered his body, and most importantly, the meridians within Xiao Luo's body.
Li Qingan's brain was like a supercomputer, constantly processing various ideas. Inspiration kept colliding in his mind, and he used all sorts of ingenious ideas on the meridian diagrams he had created in his mind.
At the same time, the meridian diagram kept shattering in his fabricated mind. The meridians of the spirit beasts he had previously found also provided a lot of help, allowing Li Qing'an's ideas to be continuously optimized and improved.
