The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Si Wanning sensed Yun Jin’s presence as soon as she emerged.

She was about to pause her practice to greet Yun Jin.

But Yun Jin turned and went back inside.

The next moment.

She watched as her Junior Sister brought out a chair and table, and leisurely brewed herself a pot of tea!

Beside the tea sat a bag of sunflower seeds.

A sip of tea.

A few seeds cracked.

She looked utterly content!

“Emotional value +20.”

Yun Jin blinked.

Oh, Second Senior Sister had noticed her.

But with her thick skin, she didn’t mind.

Yun Jin brazenly continued watching Si Wanning practice.

Si Wanning finally finished a round and was about to say something.

Yun Jin had already obsequiously offered her a cup of tea: “Second Senior Sister, sword practice must be tiring? Here, have some tea to quench your thirst.”

Si Wanning felt pleased and took a leisurely sip before asking, “Do you enjoy watching me practice?”

“Senior Sister’s swordsmanship is exquisite. I’m utterly mesmerized,” Yun Jin looked at Si Wanning eagerly. “Senior Sister, could you demonstrate once more for me?”

Si Wanning felt a bit smug: “Master is the peak lord of Celestial Sword Peak, once renowned for his swordsmanship. As his disciples, how could we not excel in sword techniques? However, sword techniques are classified into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Mystic, and Yellow. Heaven-grade techniques only exist in the four holy lands. We ordinary sects shouldn’t even dream of them. Earth-grade techniques are sect treasures. Our Tianxing Sect’s only Earth-grade secret manual is a sword technique called the Blue Lotus Sword Technique. But it’s so difficult that no one in the entire sect has mastered it.”

“The highest we disciples can access are Mystic-grade techniques. My sword technique, called the Lotus Sword Technique, is a mid-level Mystic-grade secret manual. Junior Sister, you’ve just entered the sect and have no foundation in swordsmanship. You should first practice basic sword skills. Once you’re proficient, you can start with the lowest Yellow-grade techniques. Only after mastering Yellow-grade techniques should you consider Mystic-grade ones.”

Si Wanning was educating Yun Jin on some basic common knowledge of the cultivation world.

Yun Jin was familiar with this. If cultivating normally, one should indeed follow Si Wanning’s method.

But…

Her current cultivation method was far from normal.

Yun Jin just smiled and said, “Senior Sister, I don’t expect to learn it. I just find it beautiful and want to watch.”

Si Wanning smiled, “Alright, I’ll demonstrate once more for you!”

Si Wanning took flight, her ice-blue Frost Sword gleaming, with six faint lotus petals seemingly surrounding it.

Yun Jin understood this represented Si Wanning’s mastery of the sixth level of the Lotus Sword Technique.

It also meant that by watching Si Wanning practice, she could only advance to the sixth level at most.

After the sixth level, she’d either need to watch someone of a higher level practice or continue simplifying!

For Yun Jin now, there was no rush. She’d focus on mastering the Lotus Sword Technique first.

“Senior Sister is beautiful, and her swordsmanship is elegant and exquisite. It’s truly captivating to watch.”

“The sword technique is beautiful, but the person even more so! Having a Senior Sister like you is a blessing I must have cultivated for lifetimes!”

“Amazing!! Second Senior Sister, I’m in awe of you. How did you master such a profound technique? If it were me, I’d be utterly lost.”

Yun Jin kept flattering Si Wanning, who became dizzy with praise and just kept practicing repeatedly.

At first, Si Wanning felt quite pleased. Indeed, her swordsmanship was so exquisite, yet it had been years since anyone appreciated it! Now with her Junior Sister, her talent was finally recognized.

However.

After five repetitions.

Si Wanning’s wrists began to ache, and her expression turned hesitant.

This… this…

Should she keep going?

Her arms were about to give out!

After ten repetitions.

Si Wanning began to question her life choices.

Was her sword technique really that profound and brilliant?

She was flattered that her Junior Sister enjoyed watching so much.

But it was so exhausting to practice!

Meanwhile, Yun Jin was drinking tea and eating seeds… Somehow, it felt a bit irritating?

Si Wanning bravely completed the tenth repetition.

She had made up her mind.

This time, if Yun Jin asked her to continue, she would definitely refuse!

“Little Jin!” Si Wanning spoke up first, seizing the initiative.

“Senior Sister, you’ve demonstrated so many times because I wanted to watch. It must have been exhausting. It’s my fault, I just couldn’t get enough of watching. I realize my mistake now. Senior Sister, please sit down, have some tea and seeds, and rest,” Yun Jin said with an obedient smile.

Ten times was perfect!

A prompt had sounded in her mind right on cue.

“After watching ten demonstrations, Lotus Sword Technique mastered.”

Her status panel also showed a new skill.

“Lotus Sword Technique Level 1 (Entry Level 1%)”

Yun Jin raised an eyebrow. To further increase proficiency, she’d need to keep watching. But Second Senior Sister seemed at her limit, so it was best to take a break and proceed slowly.

Si Wanning took the tea Yun Jin offered, feeling touched.

Oh my.

This Junior Sister was so thoughtful.

She must have realized how tired she was, so even though she wanted to keep watching, she held back.

Is this what having a Junior Sister feels like?

Si Wanning took a hearty sip and said, “Junior Sister, this is nothing! If you enjoy watching, I’ll practice ten more times for you later.”

“Thank you, Senior Sister.” Yun Jin agreed immediately.

Si Wanning: “????”

She regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth.

But before she could take them back, Yun Jin had already agreed.

Si Wanning’s expression changed several times before she forced out a smile: “Haha, no need to thank me…”

Though she said no thanks were needed, her expression was completely dazed.

Honestly.

She had been slacking off for several years now.

There was no choice.

With their master’s situation and their resources being completely plundered, if they showed even a bit of excellence, they would be targeted privately.

They didn’t dare tell their master about these things, so they could only slack off and get by, hoping that once their master stepped down as peak lord, the Sect Leader might ease up on targeting them, and their lives might improve somewhat.

After slacking for so long, suddenly practicing the sword technique ten times in a row made Si Wanning feel like she had reached her limit.

But… she couldn’t go back on her promise to her Junior Sister.

As Si Wanning’s face twisted with worry.

“Second Junior Sister, Little Junior Sister.” Suddenly, Yue Zhao’s carefree voice rang out.

Si Wanning’s eyes lit up as if she had seen a savior!

“Eldest Senior Brother, I’ve missed you so much!” Si Wanning’s words were utterly sincere.

Yue Zhao was stunned. He defensively covered his collar: “Although your Senior Brother is handsome, suave, and dashing, I’m solely focused on cultivation. There’s no possibility between us!”

Si Wanning: “…Heh.”
