The Naughty Senior Sister
Lessons for Junior Sister

There were still five more days before the expedition for the disciples, so Lan Xihe allowed his two disciples to be free from their daily practice routine.

"Senior Brother, why do you and Master have such great escape and pursuit techniques while I am only taught attacking and defending techniques?"

"Didn't you also study the whole field of engineering? Tell me what techniques the teacher teaches."

"The sword and spear divine technique, blue wood heart technique, sound technique, immortality green jade slip technique, formation array technique, rune technique, and lastly the immortality fine thread technique." Most of the ones mentioned by Miao'er had also been studied by Yan Xu, except for some techniques only for women and the latter.

Yan Xu was not going to ask that technique that he had never learned, so he gave his junior sister some reason.

"Guhms! So this Junior Sister, isn't it fair because you also mastered some techniques that Master didn't teach me? It's possible that the technique has the same effect as mine, so didn't Master teach everything evenly?"

"Oh! That means ..." Miao'er's eyes widened.

Yan Xu nodded and said, "Right, that means that the understanding of the technique is still lacking in depth. At least choose some that you will use as a trump card, the technique must be useful to save lives in times of urgency."

Gruk up!

Amidst the discussion, Miao'er's stomach sounded like a starving lion.

Yan Xu's eyes turned into flat lines as he smiled. He brought Miao'er to the vacant land in the herb garden close to the edge of the lake. "What do you want to eat? From what your senior brother noticed for months, we have plenty of good farm animals to eat. If you're on a diet, just say it without being as shy as usual."

'Eh? Since when did Senior Brother become this kind of attention? Usually we always cook food for him because he is too busy practicing. Well, no problem!'

"Umm .. maybe, it's up to Senior Brother only. I want the best meal from Senior Brother, hehe ...."

"Okay, it's time for my sword technique to show." Yan Xu concentrated the qi energy on his index and middle fingers until it formed a sword of light. Dozens of energy swords with extremely thick densities were formed. After which, Yan Xu pointed his finger at the forest and the energy sword automatically searched for its target as if it had a will of its own.

Miao'er could not help but be amazed. Meanwhile, a commotion broke out in the forest causing the flock of birds to be shocked.

Shortly after, the energy sword that was originally thousands fused into a large sword while carrying a golden bird that was ready to be harvested as food.

Yan Xu swiftly prepared the equipment for cooking. He plucked out all the feathers of the bird and separated the meat portions to cook. He took out a few bottles of cooking spices that he valued very much and began the cooking process.

The aroma from the cooking made the hungry Miao'er saliva drip, but he had to endure it as it was still not ripe.

While waiting, they discussed.

"Senior brother, how does your sword technique have such a high energy density?"

"It's just a simple qi energy manipulation," Yan Xu smiled and continued, "When you've already formed a pagoda, the energy output can be tricked without having to delve into the sword path."

"You still haven't formed a pagoda, so it's no wonder your energy sword is still less dense. I'll teach you some tricks in the future."

"okay!" Miao'er kneels to one side. He moved a strand of hair beside the ear with his hands and said gently like a mosquito, "Senior Brother's cultivation technique and comprehension all seem very impressive."

Yan Xu shook his head slightly. Then he explained sincerely, "You're wrong, Junior Sister. There's nothing impressive about your senior brother."

"Compared to Master, your senior brother is still just a flea. You also saw for yourself how he beat us so viciously during match practice, well even though I knew he was still holding back then."

"This world of cultivation is too barbaric. Where the law of the jungle prevails, the strong will always be the superiors and the weak can only accept destiny. After knowing that there are still many realms above the mystic realm, I feel very small and you know, that mystic realm is just a starting line towards immortality in cultivating."

"To head towards immortality, countless ancient cultivator lives disappeared. I didn't mean to scare, just that quite a few people could almost achieve immortality with their incredible talent."

"In addition, cultivation strength is only a foundation in the path to immortality. Is that immortality? For them, eternity is eternal life where the laws of time will not affect them and it is a blessing. However, ..."

Yan Xu's facial expression became weak, "For me, immortality is a curse. Eternity is where you cannot die even though you have felt the name of death repeatedly to countless. The people closest to you are long-lived, but they will become ashes when their lifespan is up. Meanwhile, your eternal self will always be the same and left in solitude the extent of your immortality."

"Eternity .. is a very painful joke."

Sensing the discussion was too off-putting, Yan Xu immediately stabilized his feelings and expression.

"Well, besides, before you reach immortality, you must continue to survive! Long life doesn't mean you can't die! When you are killed, you will die! When you starve to dry, you too will die!"

Miao'er who was originally carried away by the heavy atmosphere, now shrank his neck. His senior brother's words were like the voice of their teacher's demon. Every sentence made him shudder.

"Even if you are long-lived, you must keep many weapons as well as powerful artifacts! At the very least, your chance of survival becomes more assured! However, even if you already have enough power and tools, if luck is not impartial you will die."

"Must be careful, have many powerful techniques and weapons before reaching immortality ...."

Yan Xu showed a friendly smile and praised him, "Good! You've understood it pretty quickly."

Miao'er asked gently, "But right .. isn't cultivating not just to achieve immortality? Like strengthening yourself to survive and live life without regard to worldly laws?"

"No, you may have misunderstood. Cultivating is not something as free and admirable as you might imagine." Yan Xu shook his head and sighed. "The goal of cultivation itself is an escape from the so-called destiny, we fear death and seek immortality because that's why we cultivate."

"The immortality in current cultivation, arguably is only the immortality of age not on your life. If you are killed, you will die."

Miao'er asked nervously, "So, Senior brother ... what do we have to do to really survive?"

Yan Xu arranged the dining table in front of them and explained slowly, "For example between the two of us, me and you. We have been socializing under the same teacher. It creates causation. If one of us faces a problem, the other will definitely get involved. This is one of the causes of our relationship."

"Therefore, even if we try our best to avoid causation, we will not be able to avoid it completely. We have to learn to analyze situations. We must make reasonable judgments based on the situation to avoid ourselves being in danger."

"If we do all we can but still engage in situations that could potentially usher in danger, we only have a second solution."

"What is it, Senior Brother?"

Miao'er wiped the saliva on the corner of his mouth. The food cooked by Yan Xu was almost cooked and the aroma was very delicious when it came to his nose.

"The trump card."

"Truf card? What'sthat?" Miao'er had the general picture that Yan Xu meant based on his knowledge from his previous life.

"The trump card refers to a skill we've been hiding." Yan Xu handed out a portion of food on the plate and gave it to Miao'er who was patiently waiting while continuing to teach him.

Due to the teachings her teacher had always emphasized when teaching Yan Xu, she would repeat that again for her junior sister so that they could avoid dangerous things. In fact, he was also doing this to release the stress that had accumulated due to the crooked teachings!

"You can hide 30% of your skills and only show 70% of them in front of others. In that case, if someone were to target you, you would be able to shock them with 30% hidden abilities and change the course of the fight."

"In the future, when you have powerful techniques, weapons or artifacts, you will have to hide them until no one knows but yourself. So, no one will know about your trump card until you actually use it at the crucial moment. It would be a precious savior!"

"You can also hide a portion of your cultivation level, just like our current state."

Miao'er who was listening to his senior brother's advice, finished his meal in a few gulps. His eyes sparkled as he felt the delicacy of his senior brother's cooking. He could not help but lick his finger in satisfaction.

He thought of his senior brother's advice and asked gently, "If I still fail after going all out, what should I do, Senior Brother?"

"That's where the third option applies." A warm smile was seen on Yan Xu's handsome face.

"That's so easy! You just have to run!"

"Mr ..." Miao'er blinked his eyes.

"As the saying goes, as long as the fertile soil is still there, there will always be plants growing" Yan Xu said casually.

"A rash action will only lead you to death sooner. However, out there I am sure there are still people like that, they will be able to survive if they are lucky or have many lives. It's just that .. Most people like that, will definitely die!"

"Uhuk! Back to the topic."

"If you want to run away from a strong cultivator, you must definitely have a high perception of danger. This is where I emphasize learning some more techniques that Master teaches, it could be more likely that you missed some important points in the technique. I always felt that all the techniques that Master taught, had a complete use in addition to attacking, defending, chasing, running or killing."

The sunset was accompanied by a delicious aroma in the surrounding air.

A young cultivator excitedly taught his junior sister on the edge of a clear lake. The teenage girl, who was her junior sister listened attentively while enjoying her food.

This was an important lesson that would affect his entire life while cultivating for the sake of achieving immortality.

However, no matter how many times Miao'er called out that his senior brother's teachings made sense, sometimes he felt that something was wrong.
