The cultivators quickly rushed to Bai Hua city, loudly telling people to stay off their way.
âEvery single time is a strange and weird test to solve, we canât clear them either way, so I might as well stay at Bai Hua country to cultivateâ
âThatâs right, itâs only 10 years, our lifespans are over a few hundred, itâs nothing but the blink of an eyeâ
âThe Saint had made many changes so that this place is always full of spirit essence. Not only does cultivating here for 10 years better than other places, but I also donât have to take those strange tests? This deal is very goodâ
âThatâs right, Bai Hua Immortal country is rich in resources, you can get anything you want here. The only thing thatâs missing is a green buildingâ (1)
âWhat nonsense are you saying? Blue Clouds Pass is a Daoist temple, Spirit Leaf Temple is a monastery, this is Her Eminence own country, where in the 3 Saintsâ territory would you find those thingsâ
âYouâre not wrong, Iâll first have to find a place to live!â
âFellow Dao seeker, I know that youâre good with talisman, I myself is an expert pill maker, how about we open a store together?â
âGood idea, letâs find a bar, weâll talkâ
Seeing the crowd dispersed, Gu Qing Shan smile slowly lifted.
From now one, anyone that comes to Bai Hua Immortal country will be living right under Shifuâs watchful eyes, no matter if theyâre good or bad, evil or not, time will always tell the most truthful story.
Compared to Shifu turning into white goose and pick them out one by one, or Qin Xiao Lou having to squeeze his brain dry to think of a test, this is much easier and much more reasonable.
Not to mention, Blue Clouds Passâ disciples range in the thousands, while Spirit Leaf Templeâs believers spread all over the world. Yet since Shifuâs Sainting, she has always been alone, thereâs no parents, brothers or sisters, even Shifuâs seniors and juniors in her own sect are no longer here.
She must also have been through many hardships to get to where she is today, and when she finally reached it, she has already lost all the people she could be close with.
And then, Shifu is also a person that really cares about her reputation.
From now on, the more people stay at Bai Hua Immortal country, the less clones she has to keep up, just for this fa?ade of a country, for a fa?ade of hustle and bustle of the city.
Bai Hua Immortal country only need some real people living in it to become truly hustle and bustle.
In just a few years, this place might really become a true cultivation country.
After most already dispersed, Gu Qing Shan just sat down on the green rock.
He closed his eyes and starts meditating.
Thatâs right, every single minute counts, he doesnât want to waste any time.
He doesnât know, Bai Hua Fairy was standing in the clouds, silently watching it all from start to end.
As night falls, white goose came.
âLetâs go back, dinner is readyâ
âYesâ
Gu Qing Shan stood up and followed behind white gooseâs flight.
Bai Hua Palace.
The four disciples and their Shifu sat around the table, enjoying Qin Xiao Louâs cooking.
Bai Hua Fairy suddenly spoke: âFrom tomorrow onwards, all of you donât need to pick people at the green rock anymoreâ
Qin Xiao Lou was surprised: âWhy? You wonât make Xiuxiu do it so early right?â
âIâm not, I felt that Qing Shanâs method from today is quite good, so weâll keep using this method from now onâ Bai Hua Fairy said.
They all looked at Gu Qing Shan questioningly.
Gu Qing Shan then told them about his prerequisites.
Qin Xiao Lou was glad: âThatâs great then, this young master is truly free from now onâ
Xiuxiu also breathed out, thinking to herself: âThatâs good, I was afraid of having to think every day about what test to give, now I donât have to think anymoreâ
Seeing their reactions, Bai Hua Fairy smiled and said nothing else.
After their meal, she told Gu Qing Shan to remain on his own.
âIâve already known about what happened during the semester examinationâ
âTianzun is a person that holds a grudge and likes to hide his mistakes. Even though Iâve made peace with him, he could possibly go angry one day and want to take revenge for his discipleâ
âOf course he wouldnât do it himself, but heâll definitely order some high-ranked cultivators to watch youâ
âShifu canât always be around to look out for you, so you have to grow stronger faster, enough to at least be able to get awayâ
Bai Hua Fairy told him truthfully.
Gu Qing Shan thought about it, then asked: âThen what should I do?â
Bai Hua Fairy answered: âEnter seclusionâ
âSeclusion?â Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
Bai Hua Fairy looked at him, then laughed lightly as she said: âYour first brotherâs path is a different one, your second brother isnât cut out for this, and Xiuxiu is still too young, so only you are leftâ
âYouâre very hard-working with your cultivation, your talent is also decent, and the most important thing is that you are firm with your decisions, very suitable with my teachingsâ
Gu Qing Shan felt shaken.
Bai Hua Fairy Xie Dao Ling wants to pass on her teachings! Pass them on to him!
Would it be Divine Skills?
It could only be Divine Skills.
Then which Divine Skill will it be?
The Truth from Void?
Sleeves of Holding?
Or the scariest one, The Forgetting River?
Right at this moment, Gu Qing Shan felt just how lucky he was.
To be able to learn a Divine Skill is the most beautiful dream any cultivator can have but never reach.
Asides from Tianzun and Sorrow, the other 2 Saints, anyone would give up everything to have the chance heâs given right now.
âDo you agree?â Bai Hua Fairy asked.
Gu Qing Shan forced himself to stay calm, asking: âIâm already cultivating the path of the sword, would it clash with Shifuâs techniques?â
âOf course I wonât teach you what isnât appropriate, the Skill Iâm about to teach you absolutely will not affect your swordsmanshipâs growthâ Bai Hua Fairy was very pleased with his level-headedness.
âThen Iâll be honored toâ Gu Qing Shan said.
âVery good
Bai Hua Fairy stood up, slowly walked until she stood opposite of Gu Qing Shan.
âToday I will give you a first impression, so that youâll know what Skill youâll be learningâ
She smiled then said: âIâll limit my power to also be Foundation Establishment. You can attack me, Iâll let you experience what youâre about to learnâ
âYes!â
Gu Qing Shan solemnly bowed, stepped forward and rushed at Bai Hua Fairy.
Bai Hua Fairy only stood there, smiling, unmoved.
Her smiled contained a hint of ease and playfulness.
Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan felt a bit annoyed.
I?know youâre a Saint, but youâve already limit your power to Foundation Establishment and yet youâre still like this, arenât you underestimating my abilities?
Seeing the distance between them became closer and closer, Gu Qing Shan said: âShifu please be careful, Iâm about to use a Secret Artâ
Bai Hua Fairy only smiled in response.
Sheâs looking down on me that much??Gu Qing Shan became more serious and rushed straight at Bai Hua Fairy.
âHiyah!â
He shouted, grabbing the air, but felt nothing.
ââ-ah?
Whereâs my sword?
How come I canât find my sword?
Right at that moment, Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth, tapping his Inventory Bag to take out the Night Rain.
âââ-but the Night Rain also wasnât there.
Gu Qing Shan used his inner sight to double check, still couldnât find where the Night Rain was.
No swords, no bow, his entire arsenal of skills is now useless, how will he fight now?
But why did both his sword and bow disappear?
Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped.
âShifu wants to teach me the technique to steal things from far away?â He asked.
This technique really is obscenely strong, when she fought against the 5 Beast Saints, she took away all their weapons and treasure in seconds, making all 5 Beast Saintsâ fighting strength drop drastically.
âItâs not that, the stealing technique isnât something you can use openly in a fight, not to mention it also involves my Godâs Chosen Skill, so I have no way to teach youâ
Gu Qing Shan felt a bit disappointed.
Bai Hua Fairy continued with her explanation: âWhat I want to teach you is thisâ
As soon as she said that, she appeared right in front of Gu Qing Shan, striking with her palm.
Bang!
Gu Qing Shan was sent flying, only able to roll and got up back up when he was about to fly outside the hall.
This palm strikeâs force was extremely well managed, its power was focused on pushing forward, enough to knock Gu Qing Shan away, but didnât hurt him one bit.
âDid you see how I moved?â Bai Hua Fairy asked.
Gu Qing Shan thought about it and suddenly realized, even when Shifu limit herself to Foundation Establishment realm, he still couldnât follow her movement at all.
This is a bit unbelievable.
