Chapter 21.1

Want Me to Apply Medicine on You? (1)

The news that Ji Qingzhou had recently gotten good grades in every course she attended spread.

Even Elder Mu Ying, who was in charge of teaching her cultivation, observed that her cultivation base has improved exponentially and expressed her surprise: “Qingzhou, although your cultivation speed is only comparable to the most ordinary disciples, you are a mortal without an iota of immortal bone, which is … genuinely hard to come by.”

Mu Ying actually didn’t know how Ji Qingzhuo cultivated, but her master was Yu Sukong, so she thought it was Yu Sukong who taught Ji Qingzhuo in private.

Of course, Yu Sukong himself also appeared to Ji Qingzhuo to talk about it. Late at night, in the water mirror under the small pavilion in the courtyard, he was refining magic weapons on the reefs in the sea, and took time to contact her.

“Apprentice, how did you cultivate?” Yu Sukong asked Ji Qingzhuo with a smile. He could see that with Ji Qingzhuo’s physique, it was difficult for her to make contact with the spirit qi of the outside world —— Of course, he wasn’t exactly sure how difficult it was.

Ji Qingzhou lowered her eyes, and thought of Shen Rongyu’s hot palm wrapped around her wrist…

I-Is this something I can disclose?

She felt embarrassed to mention it. She only looked up at Yu Sukong in the water mirror, and answered slowly, “Xiao Yu-shixiong instructed me on matters I didn’t understand in the cultivation books.”

“Xiao Yu-shixiong? Shen Rongyu?” Yu Sukong heard the title and laughed softly. “He is indeed a very good disciple.”

“Forget it. Since I don’t understand the contents of your classes, I will sort out my own cultivation experience for you. My physique is special, and I don’t know if my cultivation experience can help you.” A thought seemingly dawned on Yu Sukong. He clapped his palms and passed his cultivation tips to Ji Qingzhuo.

Ji Qingzhuo accepted them and thanked him, “Thank you, Master Yu.”

“Your grades have improved these days. On that day, Elder Ye communicated with me and told me about it.” Yu Sukong touched his chin and asked, “Why are you suddenly so active?”

Ji Qingzhou did not hide it and told Yu Sukong about the top grade Immortal Spirit Pill that Maomao needed.

When Yu Sukong heard the reason, he was also caught off guard: “This high grade Immortal Spirit Pill are indeed precious, and I don’t have any ready-made ones in my hands.”

“But I can’t help you too much with this internal sect assessment.” Yu Sukong shook his head and sighed softly. “If you want it, you can only rely on yourself to fight for it.”

Ji Qingzhou nodded. Yu Sukong casually provided more enlightenment, then cut off the contact. This master was considered to be serious and responsible, too.

Ji Qingzhou held the cultivation tips that Yu Sukong gave her and went to a corner to study and read. The system noticed her movement and was surprised.

“Host, isn’t Shen Rongyu helping you to cultivate? Why are you reading?” the system asked.

Ji Qingzhuo’s fingers twisted the pages of the book. She flipped a page and said to the system, “It’s too much like Dual Cultivation. I’m not used to it.”

“If possible, I want to do everything myself,” Ji Qingzhuo added.

Looking at Yu Sukong’s cultivation insights, she memorized all the information such as meridian Qi circulation techniques and the resonance of sensing external spirit qi. Her ink pen randomly drew on the paper as she deduced the principle.

As a result, after deducing everything, she was not able to learn anything useful. Yu Sukong’s methods could speed up the efficiency of cultivation for cultivators with immortal bones, but not her. The most critical problem of not being able to make contact with external spirit qi was not solved.

On the contrary… She relied on these bits and pieces of meridian information to deduce Yu Sukong’s meridian structure.

Looking down at the shape that was pieced together with fine lines on the paper, Ji Qingzhuo finally understood why Yu Sukong said that his cultivation method might not be useful to her.

“No wonder…Master Yu…” Ji Qingzhuo smashed the fish-like pattern on the table to hide the information.

She really has no intention of spying on other people’s secrets, but…these secrets just kept chasing after her.

Ji Qingzhuo grabbed her hair and was extremely distressed. She didn’t feel how terrifying the ability to reverse a rival’s meridian system through his habit of circulating spirit qi. After all, each cultivator’s meridians have their own characteristics and weaknesses. When this ability was used in actual combat, it could accurately find the opponent’s Achilles’ heel.
