Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

Ye Kong was sitting and fishing when he saw a black line flash before his eyes. Several storage rings and precious jade pendants appeared in front of him.

"Not bad, you even know to collect spoils of war," Ye Kong praised.

From the storage rings, he took out a blackened tortoise shell and rewarded it to the little black ant.

"This is the treasure bone of the Little Black Tortoise. It contains its innate divine power. Eat it and see if you can comprehend it."

The little black ant's eyes lit up, and it instantly climbed onto the tortoise shell and began to gnaw at it, "Kakaka."

Before long, its body glowed, and it disappeared in front of Ye Kong.

The Art of Turtle Breath Concealment!

"Good fellow, you've even broken through to the Nascent Soul stage again. Go play by yourself, but don't leave the boundaries of Mount Xiaoyao. I'm going to see how my disciple is cultivating."

"From now on, I'll call you Little Black."

Ye Kong put away his fishing rod and walked towards Peach Mountain.

Now, besides fishing every day, he had one more task—teaching his disciple.

...

"Peak Lord Fengzi, we're not lying! It was a black ant that beat us up!" The purple-robed deacon said, on the verge of tears.

"Trash... trash..." the colorful parrot squawked.

Qin Shou stroked his chin with his left hand and teased the parrot with his right, muttering to himself, "If it's true, then that little black ant may have awakened its bloodline."

"Mount Xiaoyao is truly lucky."

"Peak Lord Fengzi, what should we do?" the purple-robed deacon asked.

"According to the sect's rules, that spirit beast is an unowned object, and all peaks are qualified to compete for it."

If other peaks got wind of the spirit beast, they would definitely try to snatch it.

Qin Shou shook his head and said, "Don't make a fuss for now. Don't alarm the people from other peaks. Let's secretly capture it first."

"A ferocious beast that has just awakened its intelligence can only reach the Foundation Establishment stage at best. As a Golden Core cultivator, capturing it will definitely be a piece of cake!" Qin Shou thought to himself.

...

Inside the Peach Pool, tiny, illusory dragon shadows swam around Lin Yaoyao's jade body.

She was cultivating the Emperor-level technique—the Nine Dragons Overlord Body.

"I didn't expect that this Nine Dragons Overlord Body would complement the minor Profound Yellow Art. It seems I made the right choice in choosing Mount Xiaoyao." Lin Yaoyao's jade body was filled with clear light as she completed a cycle of breathing.

At this moment, she heard her master coughing again.

She quickly put on her red dress, her beautiful hair flying, and drops of crystal water flowed from her alabaster-like skin, her eyes clear and cold.

Is this master spying on her again?

"Disciple, how is your cultivation going?" Ye Kong asked with a straight face.

Do you know that your enemies have chased you all the way to Mount Xiaoyao, yet you still don't cultivate properly and just soak in the bath all day?

Lin Yaoyao didn't like being spied on, so she said coldly, "I have already completed the first layer of the Remaining Moon!"

"The first layer?" Ye Kong was stunned.

Lin Yaoyao saw the surprised look on this useless master's face and sneered inwardly.

This cheap master probably hasn't even entered the threshold after cultivating for ten years.

Lin Yaoyao's pretty face was very calm as she said indifferently, "Disciple's talent is lacking, please give me some guidance, Master."

Ye Kong's face immediately darkened.

I know your talent is lacking, but why are you so self-righteous?

Can't you just lower your head, admit your mistake, and act cute to beg your master for forgiveness?

Lin Yaoyao looked at her master's dark face and found it funny. She deliberately said this to strike a blow at her master, who always acted improperly.

Hmph, if you weren't so handsome, this empress would suppress you with one hand... Lin Yaoyao snorted softly in her heart.

"Then how many sword intents have you comprehended?" Ye Kong asked, suppressing his anger.

Master is starting to steal my techniques again under the guise of testing me. Lin Yaoyao thought to herself.

Although she was complaining, her master had taught her such a powerful technique, so she naturally had to reciprocate and impart it to her master.

Lin Yaoyao pretended not to know anything and said to Ye Kong, "Master, the first layer of the Remaining Moon has a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine sword intent variations. Each one traces back to the origin, all being Crescent Moon, Splitting Moon, and Chasing Moon..."

The more Lin Yaoyao explained, the tighter Ye Kong frowned.

She was a little helpless. After all, this was a God-level technique. Even if she explained it, her master probably wouldn't understand.

Alas, my master is too ordinary.

Lin Yaoyao sighed.

"Is that all?" Ye Kong asked with a frown.

That's all. Master, if you don't understand, do you want me to explain it to you again?

"Yes," Lin Yaoyao nodded.

"What you've comprehended is just this little bit that you've explained?" Ye Kong asked rhetorically.

The Remaining Moon itself is the foundation for cultivating the Galaxy Reincarnation Sword. The first layer of sword intent variations has at least tens of thousands of variations, and you've only comprehended nine hundred and ninety-nine. Why do you look so smug?

A little? Is this still a little? If you don't understand, are you saying that I'm holding back on you?

Lin Yaoyao was provoked by this useless master again and said coldly, "Disciple's aptitude is limited. I wonder how many sword intents Master has comprehended?"

How many have I comprehended? Naturally, infinite sword intents.

Ye Kong didn't say a word and used his finger to draw a zero.

Zero represents the closed loop of reincarnation sword intent variations, which is the embodiment of infinite sword intents.

"Do you understand?" Ye Kong said indifferently.

Lin Yaoyao was almost laughed out loud by Ye Kong.

Zero sword intents?

I say, Master, how can your skin be so thick? You haven't comprehended anything, yet you're pretending to be a big shot here?

If you didn't know better, one would think you were an unparalleled expert!

"Understood," Lin Yaoyao nodded.

"Remember, you must not reveal Master's secret," Ye Kong instructed.

He just wanted to hide his strength and be a salted fish in peace.

"Don't worry, Master, I won't reveal your secret," Lin Yaoyao nodded.

If Master loses face, she loses face.

If the other peaks knew that Master hadn't comprehended even one sword intent, it would be a great embarrassment.

"That's it then. I won't blame you either. Cultivate with a calm mind and comprehend the sword intent thoroughly as soon as possible."

"Yes, Master."

Seeing her master leave with a flick of his sleeve, Lin Yaoyao felt a little wronged.

This master, I explained it very clearly, but you couldn't comprehend it yourself, and you're blaming me?

"Alas, there's no way around it. Master has been alone on Mount Xiaoyao for so long, so it's normal for him to be eccentric and have a strange personality."

Lin Yaoyao felt that she was very considerate and could perfectly understand her master's state of mind.

"Master, don't worry. After this disciple breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I will definitely help you break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as well."

A strange light flashed in Lin Yaoyao's beautiful eyes. She suddenly thought of a plan—

The Useless Master Becoming a God Plan!

...

One day, two days, three days, four days, five days later.

Mount Xiaoyao, at night.

Figures in black clothes sneaked in.

"Act according to the plan. Team One, use the secret concoction of tranquilizers I prepared to knock out the Peak Lord of Mount Xiaoyao to prevent him from activating the formation. Team Two, quickly search for the whereabouts of the spirit beast..." Qin Shou whispered, "Do you understand?"

"Understood, understood!" The colorful parrot on his shoulder squawked.
