"I only know this one, but I can only sit around, not fight! Can you teach me the technique to fight?"

Orchid then looked expectantly at Ye Liuyun.

But Ye Liuyun simply smiled and suggested that she try to hit him.

"Be careful and protect yourself! I can break a tree with my punches!" She warned Ye Liuyun.

Orchid channeled her genuine energy and gave Ye Liuyun a punch. Ye Liuyun’s Golden Phantom Eyes saw that her cultivation method and fist technique were one and the same. Once she punched, the cultivation method would automatically operate, activating her genuine energy.

However, since she had not reached the Immortal Realm, her genuine energy obviously couldn’t harm Ye Liuyun.

She looked at her small fist and sighed, feeling her strength was too little.

Right away, Ye Liuyun explained to her, "You gotta be patient to cultivate enough genuine energy. Only then will your punch be powerful. Think about it, if you don’t have strength, even if you know the technique, you can’t strike down people. But if you have the strength, even without the technique, a casual punch can knock down a person! Isn’t that right?"

Orchid thought for a moment and nodded heavily.

Ye Liuyun added afterward, "So your training is to sit here and cultivate. Two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon, and two hours at night, then go to sleep. You can’t eat or sleep without completing the cultivation. Can you endure the hardship?"

"I can!" Orchid firmly said.

"Good, then our training starts now!" Ye Liuyun immediately had Orchid sit down for cultivation.

But she had barely sat for a quarter of an hour before she stopped, asking Ye Liuyun if it was time.

"Not yet, it’s still early!" Ye Liuyun replied.

But Orchid kept asking every moment, soon annoying Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun promptly stuck a branch out of the cave, telling her to pay attention to the shadow of the branch, and she would know when two hours had passed. After this, she should stop asking him.

However, Orchid had never cultivated before. She would often come up with excuses to leave the cave, claiming she wanted to go drink water or to use the bathroom.

So, Ye Liuyun left her under He Lianxiu’s watch and went out himself to cultivate.

After a while, though, He Lianxiu couldn’t take it any longer either and ran to seek Ye Liuyun for help.

After thinking for a bit, Ye Liuyun asked his clone to let out a Demonic Wolf at the First Realm of the Immortal Realm.

In front of Orchid, he told the wolf, "Stay outside the cave and watch over her. She must sit here to cultivate until the time is up. If she moves around, bite her right away."

But in secret, he communicated to the Demonic Wolf spiritually not to truly bite or hurt Orchid, but to just scare her a bit. At most, it could use its genuine energy to keep her in the cave, not allowing her to leave.

Furthermore, if danger arose, the Demonic Wolf had to protect her.

Seeing the snarling Demonic Wolf with an intimidating Devil Qi eyeing her, Orchid became obedient immediately. She was scared into staying quietly inside the cave, cultivating without causing any disturbance.

"You’re indeed smarter!" He Lianxiu praised.

The mercenaries who witnessed how Ye Liuyun handled Orchid couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

They all understood that Ye Liuyun had good intentions, so no one blamed him.

Also, Orchid could see Ye Liuyun and the others from inside the cave, so she wasn’t too afraid.

Plus, as long as she kept cultivating diligently, the Demon Wolf would not frighten her and just kept an eye on her from a distance.

However, the moment she stopped cultivating, the Demon Wolf would growl to threaten her.

Of course, during her break time, Ye Liuyun allowed her to run wild and even rewarded her with a piece of roast meat, praising her for her good performance.

While Bucktooth was resting, Ye Liuyun also passed on to him a higher-level Qi cultivation method and some fist techniques.

Though not as good as Ye Liuyun’s own technique, they were still treasures found in the book collection of the Southern King’s Library Pavilion, far better than his previous techniques.

Everyone else, upon seeing this, was even more grateful to Ye Liuyun.

"After learning this technique, may I teach it to Orchid?" Bucktooth was still thinking about Orchid at this time.

"You can teach the others but not her! She has her own cultivation method, so don’t you ruin it for her!" Ye Liuyun warned Bucktooth while simultaneously cautioning others.

"What’s the technique she’s using? There was one time, when she’s practicing, she passed out all of a sudden!" Master Wei queried Ye Liuyun.

"She passed out?" Ye Liuyun was also puzzled, "I’ve seen her technique, though I don’t know its name, there shouldn’t be a problem!"

"Rawr!"

Suddenly, the Demonic Wolf guarding Orchid let out a roar summoning Ye Liuyun.

With his Divine Sense, Ye Liuyun quickly realised that Orchid had indeed passed out.

He hurriedly rushed over, followed by Master Wei and the others.

Upon closer examination with his Golden Phantom Eyes, Ye Liuyun discovered that a small part of the sealed energy within Orchid’s body was released.

Presumably, this sealed energy would be released bit by bit according to her realm’s need.

However, Orchid was unable to absorb and guide the energy that was suddenly released.

But after she fainted, the genuine energy in her body would automatically circulate, gradually absorbing that surge of energy.

"It was like this before. After waking up, there was nothing wrong with her, and she felt completely fine!" Master Wei wanted to go over and pick up Orchid.

However, Ye Liuyun immediately stopped him and explained to them, "Don’t touch her, she’ll be fine on her own! It’s nothing, just a result of her not practicing frequently. Once she gets used to cultivation, this problem will disappear!"

Sure enough, after an hour had passed, Orchid woke up on her own.

Ye Liuyun also immediately went over to ask about her condition.

"What did it feel like?"

Orchid thought for a long time, wanted to speak but couldn’t, and finally let out a sigh herself, "I can’t describe it!"

But Ye Liuyun knew it was probably the person who blocked her ability did that, fearing others would covet her energy, so she was unable to speak about it.

With a smile, Ye Liuyun told her, "It doesn’t matter if you can’t express it. Next time, if this happens again, strive to accelerate the circulation of your genuine energy, don’t stop cultivating. As long as you hang in there, the energy that suddenly bursts out will be absorbed by you, making you stronger!

But about this secret, you can’t tell outsiders, alright? Otherwise, it may put you and those around you in danger!"

Upon hearing that her secret could endanger those around her, Orchid immediately nodded in agreement.

And just like that, Orchid was trained by Ye Liuyun for a whole day. When she went to bed at night, she was fast asleep.

The others were also trained by Ye Tiandao for an entire day but they didn’t have time for rest. They still had to keep pushing themselves.

Although a day’s time didn’t seem to have much effect, their discipline had improved a lot. They no longer chatted and laughed during their training. They already understood the importance of complete obedience.

Ye Tiandao wouldn’t spoil them either. Regardless of gender, if they didn’t listen, he wouldn’t hesitate to punish them directly.
