"Oh." Conch did not seem to understand.
Over the past three months, she had been cultivating the breathing technique her master had given her. She had been condensing Primal Qi and expanding her dantian's sea of Qi.
The foundational cultivation was too boring, after all. How could Conch not be envious when she saw her senior brothers and sisters forming various energy seals every day?
"Start with the small ones. Energy swords the size of a finger. Do it with me. Hold your breath and focus. Guide your Primal Qi through your Extraordinary Eight Meridians and form energy. "
Zhu Honggong guided her seriously. At the same time, an energy sword appeared above his palm.
It was only the size of a finger. It hovered quietly.
"Eighth Senior Brother, you're amazing!" Conch applauded.
A proud expression appeared on Zhu Honggong's face as he said, "This is a piece of cake … The stronger your control, the purer and larger the energy swords will be … Be patient. As long as you're willing to spend some time, it won't be a problem."
"Is that so?"
Bzzt.
An energy sword the size of a finger hovered above Conch's fair palm. It seemed even more crystalline than before.
"Uh …"
Zhu Honggong was stunned.
He was in slight disbelief. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Indeed, it was a bright energy sword. The energy sword shone with a faint red radiance.
"Eighth Senior Brother?" Conch asked softly.
"Oh, oh, oh … Yes. You can do this when it's smaller."
Zhu Honggong composed himself and hastily raised his palm.
An energy sword the size of a palm hovered above his palm.
'Such a huge energy sword should be enough to establish my reputation as a senior brother, right?'
"Is that so?"
Bzzt.
Conch opened her palm again. An energy sword the size of a palm appeared.
Zhu Honggong. "???"
'Is it that powerful?
'This …'
'Who should I look for to judge this?
'No, I have to suppress her spirit.'
Looking at Conch's innocent expression, Zhu Honggong decided to give her a more difficult one. His senior brother had to have his own reputation.
"Energy condensation is only the initial stage. You're considered a beginner since you can form an energy sword the size of a palm … In truth, energy swords aren't my forte. Second Senior Brother is better. He can form up to 100 energy swords in an instant. Sword Saint Luo Shisan can form 13 seemingly substantial energy swords. "
"Eighth Senior Brother, what about you?" Conch looked at him expectantly. Then, she added, "I'd like to watch."
"…"
Cough cough, cough cough …
Zhu Honggong cleared his throat and composed himself before he said, "I, your Eighth Senior Brother, am more skilled in energy fists."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Zhu Honggong raised his hand, and the Tear Stain Gloves hanging from his waist fell into his hand.
He punched out.
A fist-shaped energy fist shot out.
Bang!
It hit a nearby tree.
Zhu Honggong's energy fist left a dent in the tree.
Zhu Honggong looked at Conch and asked happily, "Do you want to learn?"
At first, Conch was still interested. However, when she saw his huge fists and how unattractive they were, she shook her head and said, "No."
"Then what do you want to learn? I'll teach you, "Zhu Honggong said.
"Energy sword."
Zhu Honggong was rendered speechless. He said, "Energy swords are fine as well. Although I'm not skilled in them, I'm more than capable of teaching you."
He put away his boxing gloves.
He held his breath and focused. Three energy swords immediately appeared in his palm.
Although the energy swords were not big, they were nothing to a Nascent Divinity realm elite.
Conch opened her palm and said, "Is this it?"
Another three energy swords appeared in her palm.
"…"
Zhu Honggong's eyes widened.
He felt a tightness in his chest.
It was almost impossible for ordinary cultivators to advance from the Mystic Enlightening realm to the Sense Condensing realm without a few years of training. They would need at least two to three years of training to form decent energy swords. Conch, on the other hand, did it in three months?
Zhu Honggong looked at the three energy swords.
'Don't panic. Hold on!'
Zhu Honggong shouted, "Open!"
This time, he gave it his all.
The palm-sized energy swords hovered for several meters around him.
There were many of them, and they were neat and bright.
"Little Junior Sister, what do you think?"
Indeed, Conch could not condense energy at this level. However, she seemed to enjoy such a grand scene. Hence, she clapped and said, "Eighth Senior Brother, do it again. More, more."
"…"
'More what?
I'm not skilled in this to begin with. It's good enough that I can maintain it for a while. '
Zhu Honggong clenched his fist, and the energy swords scattered.
"Master's better at this messy and gaudy energy swords. I can't do it."
…
In the secret room, the whispers that came to his ears were intermittent and not very clear.
However, Lu Zhou heard these words clearly.
Instinctively, he reprimanded, "Nonsense! You're asking for a beating!"
A faint blue radiance enveloped the soundwave as it shot out of the hidden chamber.
In an instant, it was outside the great hall.
To Zhu Honggong, it sounded like a clap of thunder. His heart skipped a beat.
Thud!
Zhu Honggong fell to his knees and said, "I've made a mistake! I'll slap myself! " “
Without hesitation, he slapped his own cheeks twice.
"Punished Zhu Honggong. Reward: 200 merit points."
Conch looked in the hidden chamber's direction in shock. She bowed. "Master."
There was no reply from the hidden chamber. Everything was as silent as before.
Zhu Honggong looked up. He cursed inwardly, 'Master is so powerful. He's everywhere. He can even hear me. I should stay away from him in the future.'
He rose to his feet and signaled Conch with his eyes. "I'll bring you to the back of the mountain."
"The back of the mountain?"
"The back of the mountain is quiet. It's suitable for cultivation … You've only formed three palm-sized energy swords. That's far from enough. I'll teach you how to form the fourth one."
"Fourth?"
Conch scratched her head and opened her palm again.
Whizz!
As her Primal Qi surged, several energy swords appeared in her palm.
There were four of them, no more, no less …
"…"
Zhu Honggong's expression froze. He was at a loss for words.
He only regained his senses when Conch clenched her fist and the energy swords disappeared.
Conch said, "Eighth Senior Brother, I want to learn how to form as many energy swords as you did earlier."
"…"
An awkward expression appeared on Zhu Honggong's face. He turned around and left.
"Eighth Senior Brother? How can I form bigger energy swords? "
"Next time, next time …"
"Eighth Senior Brother, I want to learn. Eighth Senior Brother, don't run! How can I form energy swords that are as big as a towering tree, Fourth Senior Brother? "
Zhu Honggong quickened his pace.
Conch gave chase.
She vanished.
Mingshi Yin emerged from a nearby branch. He had dark circles under his eyes. He patted his chest and sighed in relief. "At last, I don't have to teach this little ancestor anymore …"
Throughout the past three months, the other senior brothers and sisters took turns teaching Conch.
In the beginning, they were fond of being a teacher. However, as time passed, they discovered that Conch was not only talented, but she was also astute and eager to learn. She also had the drive to study. No matter what the question was, she liked to get to the bottom of it. She would not stop until she had mastered something.
As time went by, Duanmu Sheng and Zhao Yue were tortured to the point that they wished they were dead.
Even someone as shrewd as Mingshi Yin could not escape Conch's drive.
He stretched his back and yawned. He muttered to himself, "Time to sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking …
Conch's voice rang in his ears. "Fourth Senior Brother, please continue teaching me … I want to learn many, many energy swords."
Thud!
Mingshi Yin's heart tightened. He thought to himself, 'I'm doomed.' He fell from the tree.
At this moment …
A female disciple hurried up the mountain.
When she saw Mingshi Yin and Conch in front of the great hall, she bowed and said, "Greetings, Mister Fourth. Greetings, Mister Tenth."
Mingshi Yin slammed his palm on the ground. He did a somersault in the air and stood up. He asked calmly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Someone at the foot of the mountain wishes to see you."
