Chapter 384: A Minor Conflict Between Two Junior Disciples

Recently, Lin Fan had also eased his inner turmoil and no longer felt the urgency to venture out into the world. Since he had taken on apprentices, it was only right he devoted himself to properly guiding them.

On the martial arts training ground of Wuming Peak, two figures darted about like butterflies, their blood qi surging. Although both of his apprentices were young girls, cultivating blood qi was still the fundamental starting point.

Although Lin Fan, with the help of his system, hadn’t particularly felt the importance of blood qi cultivation, his current level of cultivation in the Dongling Continent was akin to a celestial being. His vision was naturally sharp.

Seeing Zhiqiao diligently practicing the “Sword Canon,” Lin Fan’s thoughts drifted back to the Cangling Continent.

Though he had now clarified the purpose of strengthening himself, hatred remained hatred. The destruction of his sect would not go unavenged.

“Nine great sect leaders, Yan Emperor, Tian Empress, I hope you’ve cleaned your backsides well and are ready for my return.”

“Master, am I really strong now?” Zhiqiao, having completed the second layer of the “Sword Canon,” eagerly ran to Lin Fan, her face filled with anticipation.

Lin Fan snapped out of his thoughts and smiled, gently patting Zhiqiao’s head. “Good job. Keep it up.”

Receiving praise and having her head patted by Lin Fan activated a training skill.

Zhiqiao’s comprehension ability increased significantly.

To Lin Fan, these practices might seem simple, but for a child as young as Zhiqiao, reaching such a level was already quite impressive.

At such a tender age, she already possessed a mid-level innate cultivation foundation, indicating that her future prospects were limitless.

“But you should learn from your junior apprentice sister. Cultivation cannot be done half-heartedly or inconsistently; it requires persistence,” Lin Fan advised with a smile.

“Yes, I understand,” Zhiqiao replied. Hearing her master praise her junior apprentice sister, she felt a twinge of jealousy. Pouting her lips, she grabbed her sword and ran back to the training ground to continue practicing.

Though her limbs were small, her swordplay was quite impressive. “A flash of cold swordlight illuminates four continents.” Though still inexperienced, her potential was boundless.

In Zhiqiao’s heart, she was determined not to lose to her junior apprentice sister. After all, she was the senior apprentice.

Sipping tea while watching the two train, Lin Fan couldn’t help but nod approvingly.

Zhiqiao wasn’t particularly gifted by nature, her fortune and talent were quite ordinary, but now she was different. Her fortune soared like a rainbow reaching the heavens.

As for You Jiuling, Lin Fan had to admit that even without his guidance, she would have become a powerful figure in her own right.

From the moment they first met, her fortune had been extraordinary, and her talent was top-notch.

Compared to the late Qiongqi, she was more than a match.

But to Lin Fan, talent wasn’t particularly valuable. In the Holy Demon Sect, everyone under his tutelage possessed exceptional talent.

Take Zhang Erdou, for example. His talent had been as poor as dog excrement, yet now he had become an outstanding figure.

However, fortune was another matter. You Jiuling’s fortune was significantly more substantial than Zhiqiao’s.

But all of this was irrelevant to Lin Fan. As long as he was alive, no one would dare harm them.

After training, Zhiqiao and You Jiuling stood on either side of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was about to pass on some martial arts techniques to the two young apprentices.

Zhiqiao had a preference for sword techniques, so Lin Fan naturally imparted the “Cangtian Sword,” along with “One Finger Annihilation,” “True Ultimate Destruction Kick,” and “Kunpeng Breathing Method.”

Although the “Kunpeng Breathing Method” was primarily an offensive technique, it also enhanced the absorption of heavenly energy.

As for You Jiuling, Lin Fan transmitted the “Invisible Tianmo,” “Dragon Emperor’s Dominance,” and “True Ultimate Destruction Kick.”

You Jiuling followed the path of dominance, and among the martial arts techniques Lin Fan currently possessed, these were the ones he felt suitable to pass on to them. As for other techniques, they were not appropriate.

The “Blood Sea Cultivation Technique” was inherently sinister and might lead them astray.

The “Palm-sized Demon City” was even more sinister and unsuitable for them.

The other techniques were acceptable, and they were three levels higher than what could originally be learned in the cultivation world.

If they could fully understand and integrate them, their power would be formidable, not to be underestimated.

“You two should cultivate diligently. I’ll be going out for a while,” Lin Fan said, slicing open the void with one hand and stepping directly into it.

It was time to pay a visit to the Xuanjian Pavilion, otherwise, he would feel remiss.

With Lin Fan’s current level of cultivation, tearing through space and moving at incredible speeds had become second nature. The faster he moved, the more damaging the spatial currents became to his body.

But for Lin Fan now, these spatial currents were nothing more than a minor inconvenience.

He could traverse hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye.

However, Lin Fan had not anticipated one thing: even a simple act of transmitting techniques would spark a sense of competition between the two young apprentices.

“Junior apprentice sister, I told you so. Master loves me the most,” Zhiqiao happily said to You Jiuling, clenching her small hand as if she had just won a battle.

“Master loves me too,” You Jiuling replied,不服气地.

“Hehe, but Master passed on four techniques to me, while you only got three. That’s because Master loves me the most, so he gave me an extra one,” Zhiqiao joyfully said.

Seeing her senior apprentice sister’s得意 expression, You Jiuling pouted her little mouth and said, “But Master praised me just now and told you to learn from me and cultivate diligently without being lazy.”

Translation:

Seeing her senior apprentice sister’s smug expression, You Jiuling pouted her lips and said, “But Master praised me earlier and instructed you to learn from me, cultivate diligently, and not be lazy.”

Hearing this, Zhiqiao felt a bit defeated for a moment, but then she happily said, “But Master passed on four techniques to me.”

“Senior apprentice sister, my cultivation level is higher than yours. You entered the sect earlier than me, but your cultivation level isn’t as high as mine. Master definitely likes me more,” You Jiuling said.

“So what? I don’t care, and Master won’t care either,” Zhiqiao retorted, lifting her head and turning her face away. Although she tried to act indifferent, she was secretly quite affected by it.

“Who said Master doesn’t care? My cultivation level is higher than yours, so Master definitely likes me more,” You Jiuling said, her delicate little face showing a victorious smile.

“I don’t care. Master just patted my head, not yours,” Zhiqiao said不服气地.

“But my cultivation level is higher than yours.”

“Master passed on four techniques to me,” Zhiqiao said.

“But my cultivation level is higher than yours.”

“I’m Master’s…”

“But my cultivation level is higher than yours.”

“Wah, junior apprentice sister, you’re bullying me. I won’t play with you anymore,” suddenly burst out Zhiqiao, tears streaming down her face. She grabbed her sword with one hand, rubbed her eyes with the other, and walked forward crying, looking very sad.

“I won’t play with you anymore…”

You Jiuling showed a victorious smile, but seeing her senior apprentice sister’s retreating figure, she felt a bit sad. She recalled what Sister Gong had said, “Though you’re the junior apprentice sister, your senior apprentice sister is still young. In the future, you must protect her well.”

“Senior apprentice sister, wait for me. I won’t make you angry anymore.”

If Lin Fan had known that after he left, his two little apprentices had a little argument over the transmitted techniques, he would have laughed his heart out.

So amusing, so incredibly amusing.

A year had passed, and many things had happened.

Today happened to be the day for the leadership transition at Xuanjian Pavilion.

The new leader was Xuan Yunxian.

Xuanjian Pavilion had no particular relationship with the Holy Sect, so naturally, they didn’t notify the Holy Sect about such an important event.

Although Xuan Yunxian often visited the Holy Sect to see Lin Fan, now that she had gone, Xuan Yunxian did not want to use this opportunity to gain favor with the Holy Sect.

Although the former sect leader hoped that Xuan Yunxian would invite the Holy Sect to attend the inauguration ceremony of the new sect leader.

After all, if the Holy Sect could attend, the status of Xuanjian Pavilion would become even more solid.

Those sects with ill intentions would also weigh their own abilities carefully.

But for Xuan Yunxian, she did not want to do anything that would tarnish the purity of their relationship.

Her love for Lin Fan was not because he was from the Holy Sect.

She also did not want people to gossip about them.

Therefore, the former sect leader did not say much more and only invited some sects with relatively good relations to attend.
