Immortal Venerable's Order
Chapter 31. Senior Sister

Chapter 31: 31. Senior Sister

However, Yan Rufeng didn’t know about the open challenge posted by the Martial Arts Association. After resolving the matter with Ning Zhongnan, he flew to the depths of Yandang Mountain to prepare for closed-door cultivation.

The lush mountains overlapped like rolling waves, majestic and magnificent. Yan Rufeng stood at the edge of a cliff, holding a longsword, ready to carve out a cave on the cliff for cultivation.

Sweeping his divine sense, he discovered a faint layer of haze covering the cliff’s distance, indistinct and elusive, occasionally nearing and drifting away.

"Is that Spiritual Energy?"

Yan Rufeng was surprised.

Summoning his flying sword, he leaped onto it, heading to the dense area of Spiritual Energy, sitting cross-legged and greedily absorbing it.

After about a quarter of an hour, the Spiritual Energy in Yan Rufeng’s dantian was substantially replenished, and his spirit was greatly uplifted.

He leaped up and instantly cast the Earth Tunneling Technique.

Thirty meters underground, Yan Rufeng found a newly formed spirit vein.

"The changes in this world are so great and fast. This spirit vein formed even earlier than the one in Wolong Abyss."

Yan Rufeng, who was always cautious, pondered.

After a long while, Yan Rufeng muttered to himself: "It seems the Heavenly Dao favors Earth now. The End of Dharma World has ended long ago. Who knows how many spirit veins like this exist on Earth? The greater the change, the higher the danger. It’s best to focus on improving my cultivation to cope with the unknown."

Yan Rufeng sat in front of the spirit vein, activating the Five Elements Qiankun Cultivation God Art.

In the realm of cultivation, time flies. Five days passed in the blink of an eye. As the Immortal Venerable Divine Soul possessed Yan Rufeng, the moment his dantian was filled with Spiritual Energy, a bottleneck loosened. After another Grand Circulation, his cultivation effortlessly broke through to the Golden Core Stage.

Just as Yan Rufeng reached the Golden Core Stage, his Golden Core spun rapidly in his dantian and the Five Elements Qiankun Cultivation God Art began to operate autonomously, continuously absorbing the Spiritual Energy contained in the spirit vein. When his Golden Core in the dantian split into the third piece, the newly formed spirit vein was completely depleted, and all the Spiritual Energy was absorbed by him.

"Hehe!"

Yan Rufeng chuckled in surprise: "I didn’t expect this spirit vein to contain so much Spiritual Energy. In such a barren place, I achieved three Golden Cores upon breakthrough. In the Immortal World, where Spiritual Energy is abundant, I only achieved four Golden Cores when I reached the Golden Core Stage."

Cultivating the Five Elements Qiankun Cultivation God Art differs from other cultivators. Generally, cultivators only need to wait for their core to break and form a baby to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.

However, those who cultivate the Five Elements Qiankun Cultivation God Art experience continuous splitting of their Golden Core upon reaching the Golden Core Stage. When they achieve twelve Golden Cores and continue cultivating until they break the core, possessing twelve Nascent Souls becomes a perfect Nascent Soul Stage.

Yan Rufeng, who advanced to the Golden Core Stage, turned on his phone to see 99+ missed calls. He quickly summoned his flying sword and headed towards the Central Province Jade Garden.

Upon reaching the Golden Core Stage, cultivators can fly through the air. However, Yan Rufeng preferred sword flight as usual.

Compared to sky soaring, sword flight is slightly slower, but the Spiritual Energy consumption is negligible for the same distance.

It’s not that Yan Rufeng minded conserving Spiritual Energy; he simply enjoyed sword flight. In his past life as an Immortal Venerable, he even used a Divine Sword with a Sword Spirit for sword flight, showing his obsession.

Even with sword flight, the speed was still extremely fast, equivalent to 800 kilometers per hour.

In just a few minutes, Yan Rufeng reached the sky above Jade Garden and landed in a secluded spot. This scene was again captured and posted online, only to be deleted within minutes.

Upon entering the room, police officer Wen Tong angrily scolded: "You little Taoist, I’ve been waiting for you here for three days. You didn’t show up. Are you trying to create chaos in the world?"

"Waiting for me?"

"Officer Wen, what business do you have waiting for me at my house?" Yan Rufeng retorted.

With fury, Wen Tong took out a phone and said to Yan Rufeng, "See for yourself. It’s all your doing!"

Yan Rufeng took the phone and scrolled through the online posts.

"Yan Rufeng from the Treasure Pavilion openly provokes the Martial Arts World, and the Martial Arts Masters are furious, issuing a challenge..."

"The Martial Arts Association has set up an arena. They will send their best disciples to fight Yan Rufeng, with a live broadcast..."

"The maniac Yan Rufeng hasn’t said a word, perhaps fearing the Martial Arts World..."

"A woman named Su Moran claims to be Yan Rufeng’s disciple. On her first day defending her master, she was crippled by the Martial Arts World in Zhongzhou, with a video attached..."

"The Martial Arts World crippled Yan Rufeng’s female disciple, and he did nothing. What a coward..."

"It seems the Martial Arts World is using Yan Rufeng’s name to re-enter the mundane world..."

...

"Smack!"

Yan Rufeng threw the phone to the ground, shattering it.

"You little Taoist, you broke my phone?"

"Where is Moran now?" Yan Rufeng roared in anger.

Wen Tong, seeing Yan Rufeng’s eyes turn red with killing intent, broke into a cold sweat and didn’t dare pursue the matter of the phone.

"Zhongzhou Second Hospital."

"Good, take me there now."

As for those who defamed Yan Rufeng online, they had never seen a scene where spirits knelt and begged Yan Rufeng, but Wen Tong had witnessed it. She dared not be negligent, especially since she was assigned a very important task related to Yan Rufeng.

At Zhongzhou Second Hospital, in the ward, seeing Su Changqing and Mr. Zhang, Yan Rufeng urgently asked, "How is Moran?"

Su Changqing, looking much older, weakly replied, "The doctor said she hasn’t passed the critical stage yet!"

Seeing Su Moran wrapped like a mummy, lying unconscious on the bed, Yan Rufeng roared, "Everyone out! I need to save her!"

This roar even made Su Moran’s hidden master tremble.

"When did Moran take such a master, whose aura surpasses mine..."

Since Yan Rufeng said he would save her, they dared not ask more and left the ward one by one.

Yan Rufeng gradually calmed down, "Moran, when I saw your aptitude unsuitable for cultivation, I only accepted you as a registered disciple. I didn’t expect you to defend the sect’s honor and end up like this. Today, I formally take you as my disciple. From now on, you will be the senior sister of Yan Sect."

Tears streamed down Su Moran’s temples, and she slightly moved her mouth but couldn’t speak.

"Moran, I will now heal you!"

Yan Rufeng took out a pre-refined elixir from his Storage Jade Ring, "the Meridian Replenishing Pill."

The Meridian Replenishing Pill is simple to refine, using fish mint, Revitalizing Grass, and century-old ginseng, infused with Spiritual Energy to form the elixir.

Almost everyone in the Immortal World could refine this elixir as it’s used to treat injuries and meridian damage. Walking in the Immortal World, if cultivators couldn’t refine such an elixir, it would be a loss if they couldn’t get timely treatment after being injured in a fight or battle with fierce beasts.

Yan Rufeng sat beside Su Moran, placed the Meridian Replenishing Pill in her mouth, and fed it to her with Spiritual Energy.

After a while, when Yan Rufeng felt the elixir’s effect starting, he placed his palm on Su Moran’s hand, transferring pure Spiritual Power into her body.

This healing method, known as "Rejuvenation Technique" in the Immortal World.

A flow of Spiritual Energy entered Su Moran’s limbs, then swam through her extraordinary meridians, repairing her broken meridians with the elixir’s aid, making them stronger than before.

Her broken bones were also being repaired continuously. After a quarter of an hour, Su Moran could walk again.

"Boohoo~"

Healed, Su Moran cried out of grievance.

"Moran, you’ve turned a misfortune into a blessing. Now your governor and conception vessels are open, and you’ve reached the Qi Refining Third Level."

"Master, what does Qi Refining Third Level mean?"

Wiping her tears, Su Moran asked.

Yan Rufeng smiled faintly, "You’ll understand soon. I will now teach you the ’Jade Girl Mysterious Sky Technique’ cultivation method. May you diligently cultivate and achieve the supreme Dao."

Yan Rufeng pointed at Su Moran’s forehead, and a beam of light disappeared, flooding her mind with vast information.

Amazed, Su Moran knelt and thanked, "Thank you, Master, for teaching me the cultivation method!"

"Rise, Moran. Remember, your aptitude isn’t great, so don’t engage in fights or reveal your cultivation method easily."

"I will remember Master’s teachings and strive to bring glory to Yan Sect!"

Yan Rufeng nodded in satisfaction.

"Moran, during this time, go to Wolong Abyss to help. As for the humiliation and harm you’ve suffered, I will make them pay a thousand times over."

"Thank you, Master. I will go help Sister Zhou Tong now."

Su Moran left the ward, astonishing everyone, including her hidden master.

"Is he a god? A dying person, beyond the help of specialists, was healed in just a few minutes. If everyone were like him, what need would there be for hospitals?"

Yan Rufeng walked out calmly, saying lightly.

"I have made a statement online. If those who crippled my disciple don’t come to Zhongzhou to die in three days, I, Yan Rufeng, will decimate the entire Martial Arts World..."
