My Virtual Immortal Girlfriend Came to Life from a Mobile Game-Chapter 55 – Master, please accept this bow from your Disciple
No wonder the people from Crimson Sky Peak say Li Qingran cultivates slowly.
It's strange to expect fast progress when a Water Spiritual Root cultivates a fire-based Mental Technique.
They probably only thought about getting Li Qingran to join Crimson Sky Peak without considering if there was a suitable Mental Technique for her. Fortunately, the battle order rewarded a Tide Rising Technique for reaching Qi Refining Great Perfection, which is a perfect match for the Water Spiritual Root. It can serve as a foundational technique for Li Qingran.
While Chen Huaian was pondering, Li Qingran had already completed dispersing her cultivation.
She stood there timidly, like a stubborn little flower, smiling sweetly at Chen Huaian.
For any cultivator, dispersing one's cultivation means losing all previous efforts.
No one would casually discard the realm they painstakingly achieved.
Li Qingran didn't know there was a Tide Rising Technique waiting for her.
She only wanted to help Chen Huaian, not just with words, but with immediate action.
What goes around comes around.
Chen Huaian took out a jade slip with wave patterns: "This is the Tide Rising Technique, a water-based Mental Technique. Since you no longer have an Inner Strength Mental Technique, you should cultivate this from now on. Once you reach Great Perfection, I will provide you with something even better."
Li Qingran didn't take the Tide Rising Technique, but tilted her head, her eyes filled with anticipation: "Senior, are you going to take Qingran as your disciple?"
"Ah?" Chen Huaian was stunned.
How could he, a fake Divine Transformation stage cultivator, become Li Qingran's master?
Of course, he didn't underestimate himself either. Being a pay-to-win player, he knew he would rise eventually. He planned to take Li Qingran as a disciple once he achieved something, so he could stand tall and not fear being exposed.
"Senior hesitated." Li Qingran lowered her head with a forlorn smile, "It's true, senior already has over a hundred female disciples waiting to be nurtured, no energy to take on another little disciple..."
Chen Huaian slowly formed a question mark.
Over a hundred? Female disciples? And, waiting to be nurtured?
When did this happen?!

"I have no disciples."
Li Qingran knelt down with a thud, bowing deeply: "Master, please accept this disciple's bow!"
Chen Huaian: "..."
Just like that, she changed her address? He hadn't even agreed yet! What if he gets exposed in the future?!
But at this point, it was hard to refuse, and the favorability was already at eighty; refusing would definitely cause it to drop.
"Very well." Chen Huaian straightened his expression, pretended to stroke a nonexistent beard, and said solemnly, "From today onwards, you are my last disciple! As my direct disciple, I will teach you diligently. You must cultivate well, improve your realm and lifespan, live long and prosper, and not disappoint my expectations."
"Yes, Master! Qingran will remember!"
The two exchanged smiles.
In an ordinary tavern in the mortal world, they formed a contract spanning two worlds.
...
"Everything in the world is interconnected by cause and effect, and it is precisely because of this connection that we draw closer to each other." Chen Huaian took off the VR helmet, and this phrase unconsciously surfaced in his mind, making him shake his head.
The apprenticeship ceremony wasn't grand. Li Qingran improvised, brewing a cup of spiritual tea in the tavern to honor him.
When asked how she would join other sects with a master, Li Qingran simply said, a master is a master, and a sect master is a sect master.
In the Azure Cloud Realm, many sects don't have particularly strict rules.
Of course, for disciples who already have a master, the sect usually doesn't teach the most core techniques. Joining a sect doesn't necessarily mean taking a master; most disciples don't have the qualifications to have a master. Their knowledge mainly comes from the sect's Scripture Repository and the elders who take turns lecturing at the training grounds.
Chen Huaian gave all the Thunderfire Talismans to Li Qingran for self-defense, then logged out of the game.
Li Qingran's goal was Spiritual Insight Valley.
From the map, all the cultivators in Sky Spring City and Spiritual Insight Valley were green dots, indicating absolute friendliness.
Such a sect could be trusted completely.
Sects like the Spirit Controlling Sect, Zen Sect, and Solar Pavilion were not as reliable.
Their cultivators were a mix of yellow and green dots, clearly not to be trifled with. Besides, the only other sect with green friendly dots was the Sword Pavilion, but they only recruited one new cultivator, which seemed rather shabby.
"Qingran is going to pay respects to the mountain, and I should go make some money."
Chen Huaian noticed it was getting late.
He changed clothes and prepared a bowl of white rice for Muscle Dominator. Just as he opened the door, he sensed something outside.
Looking down, he saw two packages.
[Thunderfire Talisman], [Qingran's Spiritual Tea]—these were the labels on the packages.
Chen Huaian was silent, slowly forming a question mark.
So, the Thunderfire Talismans from the main quest were for him?
But what use were they to him?!
If he stuck them on the door, people would think he was crazy!
Chen Huaian opened the package, finding ten Thunderfire Talismans inside, exquisitely made, with even the scent of cinnabar detectable.
"Not sincere, they're all Common Grade." Chen Huaian was speechless.
These were only good for decoration.
He stuck one on the window and one on the door, and combined with the Black Scale Sword on the wall, the decor of this luxury hotel room suddenly took on a slightly eerie vibe.
"Not bad, it has a bit of that feel."
Though he wasn't satisfied verbally, he was quite pleased internally.
Chen Huaian then opened the package of spiritual tea.
Expecting tea leaves, he was surprised to find an actual cup of tea. The lid and cup were sealed with vacuum film; when he tore it open, the tea inside was still warm.
"Oh my God! Are these people living nearby?!"
In ancient times, Guan Yu warmed wine to slay Hua Xiong; now, the game developers warm tea to deliver items.
They went all out to provide the perfect gaming experience for a pay-to-win player.
Impressive!
Without any suspicion, Chen Huaian raised the cup and took a sip of the spiritual tea.
As his nose neared the cup, he caught the same fragrance as on the Protective Amulet and beaded bracelet.
Chen Huaian was in a state of bliss.
The attention to detail was incredible.
Even if it was just ordinary tea leaves, he felt his body relax, and his mind became much sharper.
Unbeknownst to him, the game was frantically displaying alerts.
[Your lifespan is now 45 days]
[Your lifespan is now 84 days]
[Your lifespan is now 79 days]
The alerts kept popping up, with his lifespan fluctuating like a heart monitor.
Finally, it settled at [Your lifespan is now 78 days].
After finishing the tea, Chen Huaian placed the cup under his pillow. As he took a few steps, his expression changed, and he looked down at his leg.
"My leg, I can walk?"
He moved around, removed the cast, and found he could indeed walk.
As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a bone injury.
For someone with osteosarcoma like him, it would likely be a permanent disability. But now, his fractured area had healed, and he felt even more comfortable moving than before.
"Hiss—! Something's not right..."
Chen Huaian rubbed his chin, deep in thought.
What was the reason?
Spring Needle Technique? Meridian Opening Needle Technique? Cancer cells activating genetic potential?
Did the cancer cells transform him into a vampire with super healing abilities?
Chen Huaian quickly found a blade and made a small cut on his finger.
Blood oozed out, and the wound quickly clotted and scabbed over.
Chen Huaian was shocked, then overjoyed, placing his hands on his hips.
"Damn, am I becoming a superhero?!"
"Hahahahahahaha! I am, indeed, a superhero!"
...
The shoebox opened a crack.
Muscle Dominator peered at Chen Huaian with cat-like eyes.
[Hiss—! Something's not right, why is this boss so happy? Isn't it just that the circulation of spiritual energy in his body is speeding up, healing internal and external injuries faster? Doesn't he know these basic things with his spiritual artifact and sword?]
[I can't stay here, although there are opportunities, there's an eerie vibe everywhere...]
[I just revived, I can't die here...]
As a Glutton that had taken over the body of a newborn black cat.
Muscle Dominator could grow stronger just by eating.
It thought there would be good things to eat by following the boss, but ended up eating plain rice every day. Moreover, this boss seemed to be showing signs of going berserk.
Dangerous, extremely dangerous!
I must leave!
If I don't, I'll be done for!
Its gaze locked onto the door.
As soon as this person leaves, the world is vast, and there's nowhere it can't go.
By continuously eating, it would eventually become an unparalleled existence.
Hehehe!
As if already envisioning that day.
Muscle Dominator's mouth curled into a wicked smile.
