I hope she won't think of me as some kind of pervert, Chen Fang prayed in his heart. With his mediocre talent, he wasn't sure whether he would be able to find any other harem member this easily, so he didn't want to let Su Qingxue go.
With the door closed, Chen Fang once again opened the system panel and checked his status.
[Host: Chen Fang]
[Identity: Peak Master of Sword Cloud Peak]
[Cultivation: Peak of the Physical Enhancement Realm]
[Cultivation Technique: Basic Qi Breathing Manual (Mortal Rank)]
[Harem: None]
"None, huh? Well, that's understandable." Reading the unchanged information, Chen Fang quickly dismissed the screen and decided to rest for now. With his current comprehension level, there was nothing he could do besides wasting time.
It was best to take a breather first before the real things started.
…
The day passed in the blink of an eye, and the next arrived. At the same time, right behind the door stood Yang Kai patiently.
This guy had come knocking quite early. It seemed he was eager to find out whether he could cultivate or not.
Chen Fang, who was ready to change the course of their three lives, opened the door and walked out. Looking at Yang Kai, he said,
Yang Kai cupped his fists and bowed before following behind. "Elder Chen, forgive me. But what you said yesterday brought me here quite early."
"That's understandable. Wanting to become better is always a natural choice everyone makes." Chen Fang stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Yang Kai. "However, sometimes you should learn to be patient as well. In the journey of cultivation, sometimes patience is what determines whether you'll survive another day."
Yang Kai stopped and immediately bowed. "This servant Yang Kai understands."
"Alright, alright. No need to bow all the time." Chen Fang waved his hand and once again began to walk. "Now, about what I said to you yesterday—your condition is quite severe."
Yang Kai's facial expression grew gloomy, which Chen Fang of course noticed. He simply smiled and said, "But there is still a way. For that, I'll need to go out of the sect for a few days."
"May I dare to ask what way that is?" Yang Kai asked hopefully.
"You may." Chen Fang smiled. "If I'm not wrong, your dantian was shattered a few years ago. And even before that, you must have felt something was wrong with your cultivation speed, right?"
Yang Kai continued listening to Chen Fang and couldn't help but be surprised.
The fact that his dantian had been shattered was something everyone knew, since it had happened on the day of the sect entrance exam and had been done by his own family member.
But Chen Fang knowing about his cultivation condition was what surprised him more. Nobody should know this except him and his father, who had gone missing while trying to find answers for his son's condition.
"How? How does Elder know?" Yang Kai asked, almost stuttering.
"That's not something you should worry about." Chen Fang smiled. "Instead, you should be happy that I have a way to help you."
Just as those words landed, Yang Kai immediately knelt on the ground, his head thumping against the floor. "Elder Chen… No, Master, please accept this disciple's bows."
One after another, Yang Kai thumped his head against the ground, yet Chen Fang did not stop him. Instead, he simply nodded while watching a bloodied wound appear on his forehead. New chapters come out on g.com first.
"Alright, that's enough, Disciple Yang. From this moment on, you are the first disciple of Sword Cloud Peak." Chen Fang said, helping
Yang Kai, who was seeing stars in broad daylight from all the head-beating.
Though a clear line of blood trickled down his face, there was still a smile on Yang Kai's face.
"Master, you said that to help me, you need to go out of the sect for a few days. If it's alright, can this disciple accompany you as well?" he suddenly asked while trying to wipe the blood from his face.
Hearing this, Chen Fang fell into thought.
Though he had said he needed to go out, at the same time he didn't know exactly where he should go to find those exact herbs. For that, he would need to meet certain people.
But now that he thought about it, wouldn't it be better to just take both him and Su Qingxue along? There was a chance he might waste a whole month searching for those herbs. If he left this fellow here and didn't return on time, the bastards in the sect would definitely chew them out.
However, he still couldn't be certain about anything at this point, so he simply said, "We'll see about that. But for now, since you have become a disciple of my Sword Cloud Peak, take this basic sword technique manual."
With just a wave of his hand, he took out the manual from the system storage and gave it to Yang Kai, who happily received it.
"Though you can't cultivate yet, with this manual I want you to solidify your basics of swordsmanship. That way, once your condition improves and you can start cultivating again, you'll notice explosive growth in your cultivation." Chen Fang said. He knew that with Yang
Kai's body constitution, if he didn't die doing some face-slapping nonsense or whatever, he was destined to become an immortal swordsman.
But all of that was still talk of the future. What he needed to focus on was the present.
Just as he said that, he suddenly heard a pair of footsteps approaching from behind.
"Elder Chen, I've made my decision."
