Chapter 102 Basic Training
After the meal, the girls became closer and closer, holding hands and seeming to have endless topics to talk about. Therefore, Bai Yanlan and the others were invited to visit Qingying Sect.
The Qingying Sect is not big and can only be considered a mid-to-lower level sect in the Longqi Continent.
However, the spiritual energy in the sect is still quite rich, and the layout is extremely warm. Even the small courtyard for guests to stay in has been carefully decorated, with flowing water, pavilions and towers, all of which are exquisite.
Hearing that her daughter had brought friends back, Xu Anle's mother, the Qingying Sect's leader's wife Zhong Lixue, came over to greet them personally: "It's rare for Anle to bring friends back, you should just treat this as your own home and don't be restrained."
"Mom, it's rare for me to bring friends back. Can I not practice for the next few days?" Xu Anle's eyes flashed with cunning, and he leaned on Madam Xu and acted coquettishly: "I have to take some time to go shopping with my friends."
"You are such a lazy little rascal," Zhong Lixue poked her forehead with a smile, but did not compromise: "Daily basic training should not be neglected."
"If you really want to spend time with your friends, be more serious and complete your training mission as soon as possible."
Seeing her daughter pouting in frustration, Zhong Lixue added, "If you perform well, you will be allowed to go down the mountain freely in the next few days."
"Great, thank you mother." Xu Anle immediately smiled.
"You, you are so old and yet you are not steady at all." Zhong Lixue turned to Shangguan Junyi who was standing beside him and said, "Junyi, you should work harder these days and stay with us. Don't let Anle neglect the guests."
Although these three children looked young and decent, she had only just met them after all, so she had to be on guard against them. She felt more at ease with her eldest disciple following her.
"Yes, Master!" Shangguan Junyi agreed obediently.
Xiao Zixuan, who was standing by, also stepped forward and said, "Master's Wife, I can also accompany Junior Sister."
"No need." Zhong Lixue smiled and shook her head. Xiao Zixuan was her husband's eldest disciple and had always been placed with high hopes. She didn't want to delay his training because of such a small matter.
"Your master has been in seclusion recently. As the eldest senior brother, you must supervise your junior brothers and sisters in their cultivation. Also, the competition among the top ten sects in the Western Territory is coming soon. You must prepare well."
Hearing this, Xiao Zixuan could only bow and respond, but a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
He suspected that his master's wife had already seen that Bai Yanlan was of extraordinary status, and intended to let her daughter and eldest disciple get in touch with her, but excluded him.
This is clearly an attempt to block his way up!
Zhong Lixue didn't notice his change in expression, and after giving him some careful instructions, she said, "Okay, go play by yourselves, I won't be in the way here."
After saying that, he left leisurely.
Without the adults around, the four little girls quickly started chatting again.
Xiao Zixuan wanted to join the conversation, but they were still talking about cultivation in the previous sentence, and would turn to where the scenery was beautiful in the next sentence. By the time he had thought of what to interrupt, they had changed their clothes and jewelry again.
Song Kuang, who was standing by, felt really bored after listening to a few words, so he made an excuse that he needed to practice and went out.
"Hey, wait." Bai Yanlan suddenly thought of the Vitality Tree Heart in the package, and took it out carelessly: "Take this and practice."
The rich vitality in the tree heart is of great benefit to physical cultivation, but it has no particularly obvious effect on Bai Yanlan herself, so she simply gave the tree heart to Song Kuang to refine.
When the vitality tree reached a certain level, its vitality became restrained. From the outside, it looked like just an ordinary piece of wood. Only then did Bai Yanlan dare to take it out directly.
Song Kuang didn't pretend to be polite. He took the tree heart and ran out happily.
Xiao Zixuan naturally couldn't tell what that thing was, but looking at Song Kuang's surprised expression, he knew that this thing must be extraordinary.
The things that are casually rewarded to the guards are so rare, then if...
Xiao Zixuan glanced at Xu Anle who was dancing with joy. After so many years of being together, the junior sister only treated him as a senior brother and had no other feelings for him. It would be better to just change the target.
However, when Xiao Zixuan made up his mind to cultivate a good relationship with Bai Yanlan, he found that the topic of these people had turned to rouge and powder.
He couldn't get a word in at all.
Besides, he was the only man left now, and it would not be appropriate for him to stay any longer, so he could only say goodbye reluctantly.
The girls who were chatting enthusiastically didn't care about Xiao Zixuan's departure at all, and instead began to share the various snacks they had stored in their storage bags. This chat lasted the entire night.
The next day, the sky was just getting light and the stars were already twinkling, but had not yet disappeared.
Xu Anle had no choice but to get up and go to the martial arts arena.
But this time, her steps were more cheerful than ever, because her right hand was still holding Bai Yanlan, who was being pulled over by her. The senior sister and Xu Jiayi also followed behind her.
With the company of good friends, the basic training doesn't seem so boring anymore.
In the martial arts arena, some of the more diligent disciples were already practicing with weapons. Zhong Lixue also came early and paid attention to everyone's practice. From time to time, she would personally go over to give instructions and correct their movements.
"This group of people are really working harder!" Xu Anle stomped her feet in dissatisfaction. If this continues, her mother will definitely move up her training time again.
Shangguan Junyi explained in a low voice from behind: "As long as you come early, you can get personal guidance from the master, so no one wants to miss it."
If she hadn't been so happy chatting last night, she would have been among the group of people who arrived early.
As she spoke, Xu Anle had already jumped over and said, "Mom, Yanlan said she plans to use the ribbon as a weapon, can you teach her?"
"I have practiced ribbon dancing for a while before." Zhong Lixue did not hide her secrets: "If you just want to learn it simply, this is enough for beginners."
The martial arts she learned was not of a high grade, and its upper limit was just there, so its power was naturally average. However, as a novice, it was enough to learn the basic moves.
Zhong Lixue's teaching philosophy has always been that no matter how varied the moves are, they all remain essentially the same. So as long as you learn the basic moves well, it will be much easier to learn the advanced techniques later on.
Therefore, since the founding of the sect, basic training has never been interrupted every morning, regardless of whether it is cold winter or hot summer.
"Let me show you first."
Seeing that Zhong Lixue was holding the ribbon and wanted to demonstrate it herself, the disciples were very tactful and made way for a large space.
Zhong Lixue stood in the center of the martial arts hall with a serious expression, and his whole temperament became sharper in an instant.
The ribbons, which were originally soft and thin like gauze, became extremely lethal with the blessing of spiritual power. When they were swung rapidly, one could even hear the sound of "release" breaking through the air.
Zhongli Xue also coordinated with the ribbons to constantly move and turn. Her movements were light and graceful, yet not weak. Against the backdrop of the morning sun, she looked even more ethereal.
Looking at this scene, Bai Yanlan suddenly felt that learning ribbon streaming was really a good thing.
