Chapter 117 Cultivation in Deep Concentration (1/2)
Yu Yifeng took him to a place called Bright Moon Valley located in the back of the mountain. The view of the valley was gorgeous. Flowers of all kinds blossomed beautifully and there were more Spiritual Qi here than in most places. He began letting go of all distracting thoughts and began his mental cultivation. Cultivating here for a day was as effective as cultivating in other places for three days. This place was supposed to be open only to the sect's disciples, but Perfected Immortal Qing Chen had personally given his permission for Xiao Chen and the other two to enter as they wished.
In the days that followed, Xiao Chen cultivated inside the Bright Moon Valley in deep concentration. Each day, he would only return after the moon hung high in the sky. One day, after seeing how determined he was, Mu Chengxue couldn't stop herself from laughing at him. ”Hey! Why are you working so hard? Don't you know that your Senior Sister Luo is forced to wait for you until late at night every day?”
”Ah?” Before Xiao Chen could digest the meaning of her words, Luo Shangyan's face had already reddened. She said in a low voice, ”Sister Mu, don't say nonsense.”
”Eh... Hehe.” Xiao Chen laughed dryly. ”Why don't you both come with me today? Spiritual Qi is in abundance there. I feel like I'll break into the 4th level of Foundation Building Realm any time now.”
Mu Chengxue immediately waved her hand. ”Forget it. If Yu Yifeng's Senior and Junior Brothers see me, they won't be able to concentrate on their cultivation. I don't want to harm them and have their Masters blame me. I can't bear the responsibility...”
Luo Shangyan burst into laughter. ”Not only are you pretty, but your cultivation is high too! Of course, many men will like you!”
Xiao Chen laughed. ”Well... It's their fault for not having a firm mentality. That's why their cultivation isn't as high as Brother Yifeng's.”
Mu Chengxue had the feeling that there was something off with Xiao Chen's words but couldn't pinpoint what. She said, ”Hey! Stop overworking yourself. Do you want me to give you a few Foundation Building Pills?”
Xiao Chen shook his hand. ”Thank you for your kind intentions, Ms. Mu, but I think it's better for me to cultivate on my own merits.”
”I'll go with you. I feel like I'm about to break into the Foundation Building Realm,” Luo Shangyan said.
Xiao Chen turned to smile at her. ”Sure thing!” Mu Chengxue shook her head. ”I lost my conversation partner today. Sigh! I better look for Yu Yifeng's two little disciples and play with them.”
Luo Shangyan grinned. ”Looks like Brother Yifeng is quite idle these two days!” Mu Chengxue shot her a mysterious smile. ”Xiao Chen calls him Brother Yifeng and you copy him in doing so. Oh well, forget it. Go ahead, you two. I won't disturb you anymore.”
Xiao Chen shook his head with a smile and left for the Bright Moon Valley with Luo Shangyan. Even though he met Mu Chengxue last year and even incurred a debt of karma with her, he wasn't very close to her. However, after becoming neighbors for the past few days, they began talking more to each other.
He also learned something else. Mu Chengxue became acquaintances with Yu Yifeng seven years ago but her memory seemed incredibly poor. She couldn't remember how she met Yu Yifeng. It was as if she couldn't even remember all that happened seven years ago very well. It was hard to imagine that a young woman would have such a terrible memory.
After arriving at the Bright Moon Valley, they saw that there was a considerable number of disciples meditating and cultivating. The disciples segregated themselves by gender to prevent any untoward incidents. After spending several days here, Xiao Chen had gotten close to a few male disciples. When they saw him entering and with a Junior Sister as pretty as a fairy following behind him, they immediately surrounded him. ”Junior Brother Xiao, you're so early today. Eh? Who is this Junior Sister next to you?”
Luo Shangyan smiled gently. ”I'm Luo Shangyan. I'm his Senior Sister, not Junior Sister.” While speaking, she deliberately glanced at Xiao Chen.
”Wow! So, it's Senior Sister Luo! Nice to meet you, Senior Sister Luo! I'm Zhang San...”
”I'm Li Si...”
”I'm Wang Er...”
”Ahem, ahem. Senior Brothers, you'd better return to your cultivation.” Xiao Chen tugged on Luo Shangyan's hand and hastily pulled her away to the spot where he had been cultivating in the past few days.
Luo Shangyan whispered into his ear, ”Looks like Sister Mu is right on point...”
