Xu Yinglian was furious.

“Senior Brother, what do you want?” She squeezed out every word through gritted teeth.

Qiu Changtian did not answer her. Instead, he heard the Kunlun Mirror say,

[Invincible setting, synchronization value+1]

After calming down, he slowly said seriously,

“In a few days, it will be the opening day of the Kunlun Taiqing Sect.”

“At that time, those who can complete the Path to Heaven will become the 280th generation disciple of Kunlun.”

“Because of our talent in cultivation, you and I were admitted by Kunlun early.”

“If we don’t have the ability to suppress other disciples, how will we convince the masses in the future?”

Xu Yinglian widened her eyes and said in an unfriendly tone,

“Do you think that I can’t suppress the other junior brothers and sisters and be a good second senior sister?”

“I didn’t say that.” Qiu Changtian smiled again. “It’s just that there are many flaws in your swordsmanship, so I’m a little worried.”

“Flaws?” Xu Yinglian’s pupils constricted as she asked coldly, “I’m practicing the orthodox Kunlun Flying Sword Technique, what flaws can there be?”

“Even if all of you practice the orthodox sword techniques of Kunlun, there will still be differences due to individual insights,” Qiu Changtian said with a smile. “Show me the Pine Welcoming.”

Xu Yinglian didn’t reply. She just formed a sword technique and the sword Yu Jia suddenly flew up, drawing a sharp arc and directly attacking Qiu Changtian.

The three major orthodox sects of today, Kunlun, Mount Shu, and Penglai, had all originated from the ancient Chan Sect thousands of years ago. Therefore, their respective sword kinesis general outline had also inherited the basic sword techniques of the ancient Chan Sect.

The opening stance of the Kunlun Sword Kinesis General Principle was also the “Pine Welcoming”, and it was no different from the Mount Shu Sword Manual.

It was just that Ling Yunpo had been practicing the Seven Kill Sword Art of Shushan with Senior Sister An for many days. From the perspective of a strategically advantageous position, and looking at the basic sword techniques of the Chan Sect, he could tell that in order to allow beginners to get used to it as soon as possible, a large number of deletions and simplifications were made.

It was just like the Shaolin fist in the wuxia world. It was enough to build a foundation, but it wasn’t much in actual combat.

Xu Yinglian attacked with the standard Pine Welcoming. Qiu Changtian saw five or six flaws with a single glance.

The Jade Smoke Sword shot out like a bolt of lightning. Xu Yinglian wanted to use the sword Yu Jia to block, but her senior brother’s flying sword’s angle was so tricky that it completely exceeded her expectations. Yu Jia was directly sent flying by the Jade Smoke Sword.

“Here, here, and here…” Qiu Changtian pulled Yu Yan back and imitated Xu Yinglian’s sword technique. He pointed out a few flaws in the sword technique, causing Xu Yinglian to be stunned.

Why didn’t I notice it before?

Well, Senior Brother was right…

“But this is the general outline of the Kunlun Sword Technique.” After he finished explaining in detail, Xu Yinglian frowned and said, “According to you, could it be that this general outline of swordsmanship already had so many loopholes and flaws when it was designed? Has no one improved it after so many years?”

“Of course there are improvements.” Qiu Changtian smiled slightly. “For example, if the first flaw I mentioned is targeted by the enemy, you only need to make a small change here…”

He used all the sword moves that could break and counter it. When he looked at Xu Yinglian again, this junior sister already had a look of realization.

“Therefore, don’t believe in books all the time,” Qiu Changtian concluded. “Although the general outline of the Flying Sword Technique is written in this way, if you follow it without thoughts, you’ll fall behind. You have to have your own understanding and changes.”

“I see, I understand.” Xu Yinglian regained her senses and thanked him sincerely.

Unlike An Zhisu, Xu Yinglian was serious on the outside but soft on the inside.

She was usually cold, but after all, she was from the cultivation clan of the Tiannan Xu family. In her speech and actions, she still had the gentleness and charm of a classical court lady that she had cultivated since young.

At this moment, she only bowed slightly in thanks. The graceful curve of her figure when the Daoist robe bended and the fair neck under her clothes made Qiu Changtian’s heart slightly move.

“You’re welcome.” Qiu Changtian suppressed the charming and gentle emotions in his heart, and then he turned around with his hands behind his back and said, “I’m your Senior Brother, so I naturally have to guide your cultivation so as to avoid being laughed at by others.”

[Invincible setting, synchronization value+1]

Huh? Qiu Changtian seemed to be lost in thought.

It turned out that showing off had such a method. Teaching others as he liked, he could actually increase his synchronization rate.

Before Xu Yinglian could say anything, Qiu Changtian spoke again.

“What other questions do you have? Hurry up and ask!”

“You’re my junior sister. I won’t allow you to lose face in front of other disciples!”

Xu Yinglian:…

Fury erupted in her eyes as she sneered.

“Senior Brother boasts. Can you really answer every question?”

“Of course.” Qiu Changtian said indifferently, “Otherwise, how could I be worthy of being your Senior Brother?”

Xu Yinglian: !

Hearing this, her fighting spirit was ignited.

In other words, if Qiu Changtian was unable to answer a question about the Sword Dao, then would it prove that he wasn’t worthy of being my senior brother?

If so, he lost!

Hmph, hmph, ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha, my Senior Brother will definitely lose to me this time…

“Alright.” Xu Yinglian lowered her gaze to prevent her senior brother from discovering the battle intent in his eyes. “Then the junior sister does have a few questions that I need to ask the senior brother…”

She had already accumulated a lot of questions while cultivating sword techniques, so she asked all of them at once.

It had to be mentioned that the records of the Shushan Flying Sword Technique were much more detailed than the Kunlun Flying Sword Technique.

It was because, in the latter general outline, there were many ambiguous descriptions, making it so that even if a cultivator read it several times, he wouldn’t know what it was.

Xu Yinglian’s questions were mostly vague in the Kunlun Flying Sword Technique, but they were all answered in the Shushan Flying Sword Technique.

Thus, Qiu Changtian replied without thinking, “What’s so difficult about that?”

He divided Xu Yinglian’s question into several key answers. One, two, three, four, five, all of them were in-depth and concise. His answers were perfect.

Xu Yinglian felt enlightened after hearing this. All the problems that troubled her cultivation in the past were now resolved.

However, she was not happy.

“Let’s not talk about swordsmanship for now. I still have some questions to ask you about the ‘Nine Heavens Clarity Entering Enlightenment Mantra ‘…”

Xu Yinglian forced herself to remain calm and continued to embarrass her senior brother. The Kunlun Mirror was already reciting in Qiu Changtian’s mind:

[Invincible setting, synchronization value+1]

“What’s so difficult about that?” Qiu Changtian cheered in his heart, but he said again, “I’ll tell you in detail…”

With every point he spoke, Xu Yinglian’s face turned pale. By the time he reached the end, her face had already turned as white as a sheet of paper, and her body started to sway.

Could it be that my understanding of the Qi Refinement and Senior Brother’s are really that different?

Impossible!

Impossible!

Definitely impossible!!!

“As… As for the derivative Daoist magic of the first level of the Qi Refinement Technique, the Light of Universal Voice, Junior Sister has a few questions to ask…”

Xu Yinglian’s mind was a mess and her emotions were fluctuating. There was even a hint of pleading in her tone that she did not realize.

“…If the Senior Brother can’t answer, it’s fine… I’ll ask the other seniors…”

“Ask which Senior?” Qiu Changtian said impatiently, “This question is extremely simple. Let me tell you…”

After he finished speaking, Xu Yinglian finally broke down and turned to leave.

“Senior Brother is great. I still have something on, so I won’t disturb you any further.”

She held back her tears and stepped onto the Sword Yu Jia before disappearing.

Qiu Changtian watched Xu Yinglian leave and couldn’t help but smile.

This junior sister was really cute.
