Chapter 210 You Can Touch It Now
Early morning.
Lin Luoyu pushed open the door early and walked toward the deep pool.
The food made by Master yesterday was not left at all. That Flood Dragon named Qinghe almost used its face to rub the plate clean.
Although Qinghe had a small figure, it really ate a lot.
The Flood Dragon transforming into a human form is only the exterior becoming human; the stomach did not shrink at all, it is still a genuine Flood Dragon's stomach.
After dinner yesterday, Cui Hao curiously asked Master about what happened in Cang State and Chi State.
Master smiled and teased the somewhat silent Second Senior Brother, asking him to tell it.
Second Senior Brother did not have much talent for storytelling.
At least in Lin Luoyu's opinion, Second Senior Brother's telling was a bit too dry.
Before Second Senior Brother could finish, Qinghe wiped his mouth, directly pushed aside Second Senior Brother, and began to speak.
I have to say, Qinghe told the story quite well; at least it was full of ups and downs, and his tone was vivid, but there was too much self-promotion.
The parts about Master were almost glossed over in a few sentences, while the parts about himself were full of boasting and large sections of blind fabrication.
As for how Lin Luoyu knew Qinghe was blindly fabricating, it was entirely because of Xie Lingyu's reaction.
When Qinghe was bragging about the story, he would always bring along Xie Lingyu, boasting her to the skies as well.
It was almost as if the chaos in Cang State and Chi State this time was entirely quelled due to the efforts of these two.
Their own Master and the others were simply there to set the atmosphere, just cheering for this Flood Dragon.
This Uncle Xie clearly did not have skin as thick as that Flood Dragon.
Just a few sentences in, Uncle Xie started looking a bit restless and uneasy, giving Qinghe meaningful looks with her eyes many times.
Qinghe, who was carried away, did not pay any attention.
Listening halfway through, this Uncle Xie really couldn't stand it anymore; she covered her face and left the table.
Master did not express much regarding Qinghe's wild boasting, but seeing Uncle Xie, who felt ashamed, he could hardly hide his laughter.
Uncle Xie heard Master's laughter, dared not look back, and just walked even faster.
There were still some activities planned for the evening, but with Uncle Xie leaving in shame, they did not continue.
However, through this not-so-long contact, Lin Luoyu also understood the general personalities of Qinghe and Uncle Xie.
Perhaps birds of a feather flock together; Lin Luoyu always felt that the people recognized by Master were always somewhat easy to get along with.
But for Lin Luoyu, the thing Master gave yesterday that looked like a sword technique is currently her main focus.
The Vast Sword given by Master only had some sword moves at the beginning; the rest were all abstract and mysterious intent-type things.
But when Lin Luoyu read it, she had a strange feeling of palpitation, as if she had met a soulmate.
It was truly strange, but Master had instructed to understand it thoroughly before practicing, and to ask if she didn't understand.
So Lin Luoyu is now preparing to ask Third Senior Sister first.
If that doesn't work... she will go ask Second Senior Brother, and finally consider asking First Senior Sister.
It wasn't that she was afraid of First Senior Sister.
It was just that Lin Luoyu had a feeling that even if she heard First Senior Sister's explanation, she might not necessarily understand.
Just as Lin Luoyu predicted, Third Senior Sister was already sitting on the stone chair by the deep pool early, flipping through a book.
"Good morning, Third Senior Sister." After greeting, Lin Luoyu prepared to sit down, but seeing Chen Baiqing's movement reaching for the preserved fruits nearby, she hurriedly spoke:
"That... no need, not eating preserved fruits today."
Chen Baiqing retracted her hand, looked at Lin Luoyu, and said, "Good morning."
Lin Luoyu went straight to the point: "Yesterday Master gave me a Vast Sword, and I didn't quite understand it. Can Third Senior Sister take a look for me?"
"Mm, okay."
Getting a response, Lin Luoyu took out the Divine Ability given by Master from her spatial ring and handed it to Chen Baiqing.
Lin Luoyu is not considered a newbie who just entered the Immortal Path anymore; after all, she has already reached Foundation Establishment.
She had also read some books on basic cultivation knowledge recommended by Third Senior Sister.
But facing the somewhat abstract Vast Sword, she was still a bit clueless.
Chen Baiqing took the Vast Sword and flipped back a few pages, then understood that this was a Divine Ability.
Chen Baiqing understood the basic content, but since she didn't practice the sword, she only seemed to have a half-knowledge of the insights into the Divine Ability within it.
One naturally cannot teach Divine Abilities blindly, so Chen Baiqing spoke quite seriously:
"This is a sword technique Divine Ability. I don't practice the sword... but I remember First Senior Sister also has a sword technique Divine Ability. You can go ask First Senior Sister or Master."
Hearing this, Lin Luoyu felt a bit lost. She could only ask First Senior Sister a few more times later and ask her to explain in more detail.
"What thing don't you understand? Would you rather ask a Golden Core than come ask Qinghe?"
Lin Luoyu heard the voice and looked toward the corridor, only to see Qinghe walking over with great familiarity.
Although she had a brief moment of intention, Lin Luoyu still smiled and politely refused:
"Master said you are here to relax. Besides, for some small problems, if First Senior Sister doesn't understand, I can still ask Master."
Although Master never said that the things he gave were very good, Master had never given her anything bad.
Especially the Heart Method she cultivated.
This kind of secret manual specially handed over by Master is likely a secret technique of the sect.
Although Qinghe is a guest brought back by Master and perhaps has a good relationship, he probably shouldn't be at the level where this kind of thing can be shown to him.
Lin Luoyu cupped her hands to bid farewell to Qinghe and Chen Baiqing, preparing to go find her own First Senior Sister to sigh and groan.
Qinghe didn't mind either. After watching Lin Luoyu leave, he naturally sat down on the stone chair.
His gaze stared at Chen Baiqing, who was reading in front of him.
Qinghe's purpose in coming here was precisely for Chen Baiqing.
A kind of Flood Dragon intuition told Qinghe that the Chen Baiqing in front of him must be a like-minded person.
Someone who likes slacking off, eating good food, and also likes to join in the fun.
Qinghe greeted her quite familiarly: "Reading a storybook?"
Chen Baiqing looked up at Qinghe. She wanted to deny it, but the Map of Mountains and Rivers she was currently reading mainly talked about monsters and strange anecdotes related to monsters.
However, most of the strange anecdotes related to monsters in it were just versions adapted from real events.
If she insisted on saying it was a storybook, it couldn't really be considered wrong.
Chen Baiqing thought for a moment and still nodded in agreement: "Mm, just looking briefly."
Hearing this, Qinghe's eyes lit up. Sure enough, he was a fellow traveler; reading storybooks for entertainment so early in the morning.
"Eh, I liked reading them too before." Qinghe sighed and complained, "But later Grandma Bai... but doesn't your Master object to you reading storybooks?"
"No, Master told me that however you feel happy passing the time, that is how you should pass it."
"Wow! I didn't expect the black-hearted kid to treat you guys so well?! Damn! Can't Grandma Bai learn from this?"
Qinghe had a look of grief on his face.
A smile appeared on Chen Baiqing's face as she said: "Master has always been very good to me."
Hearing these words, Qinghe felt they sounded very familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before.
But forget it, things one can't remember don't have to be remembered. Besides, this sentence has nothing to do with him anyway.
Qinghe sighed: "I actually wanted to exchange slacking off skills with you, but I didn't expect that you don't actually need to slack off. I really envy you."
"Slacking off skills?" Chen Baiqing frowned slightly, then opened her mouth to say, "If you are talking about touching fish, I can do that. I should be at the highest level in the sect."
Qinghe had a shocked look on his face: "True or false?! With your appearance, you still need to learn fish-touching skills?!"
"True! Not only touching fish, but grilling fish is fine too."
"Really?! I beg for instruction!"
Chen Baiqing nodded, her gaze looking toward the deep pool nearby.
Very quickly, an ordinary fish leaped out from the water pool, flopped onto the grass, and didn't struggle at all.
Qinghe's expression slowly changed from shock to doubt as he watched that fish begin to flop towards him.
In no time, it arrived at his feet.
Although Chen Baiqing didn't know why Qinghe liked touching fish, for her, this could be considered a casual effort. She reached out her hand to signal:
"You can touch it now."
"Ah?"
Qinghe's expression changed from doubt to shock again.
