Starting My Cultivation With Time Management-Chapter 890 - 30: Pushing the Duck onto the Perch, Forcing Qing Heng to form the Nascent Infant

Chapter 890 -30: Pushing the Duck onto the Perch, Forcing Qing Heng to form the Nascent Infant

“It’s commendable that you have such ambition.” Long Eyebrow Immortal said approvingly, “However, this path is your most significant personal matter, and now is not the time to prioritize the Sect’s considerations.”

“Indeed.” Su Jian nodded and said, “What is a major matter? The Tai Yin Sword Master advancing his Cultivation Realm as quickly as possible—that is the greatest concern for our Shushan Sect!”

The forceful words and actions of the two left Ling Yunpo with a splitting headache.

Though their intent was clearly for his benefit, he knew that once he reached the Nascent Soul Realm, he would inevitably be pushed into a duel with Qiu Changtian. With the past as precedent, how could he dare agree? He quickly declined, saying:

“A man born beneath heaven and earth should not rely on the charity of predecessors for elixirs. Qing Heng True Person wishes to remain true to his heart. Please, Immortal, take back the elixir!”

He voiced his refusal with steely resolve, his tiger-like eyes slightly reddened, his expression firm and uncompromising. It seemed as if he would turn against them outright should this generosity continue.

This moved Long Eyebrow Immortal even further. For a thousand years as a Sect Guardian Immortal, he had seen humanity’s endless ugly facets.

Never mind an elixir capable of granting an entire leap in realm—even a simple Qi-replenishing potion could drive siblings to conflict and spouses to divorce.

Because of this, he ceased to believe in any so-called love that could transcend such harsh material entanglements.

However, Qing Heng True Person…

He truly did not intend to accept the Creation Divine Pill. His unyielding eyes revealed this. He was not feigning humility for superficial fame; otherwise, he’d have settled matters by now with a clean conscience without fear of displeasing his elders.

This boy… truly has great strength in his heart and refuses to let himself drag down the Sect.

Thinking this, Long Eyebrow Immortal was further moved. Considering how he had misunderstood him all these years, a mixture of guilt and affection surged, deepening his resolve to compensate for past wrongs.

“If you won’t accept the Creation Divine Pill, we won’t force you.” Long Eyebrow Immortal said, “I have here some Dragon Blood Pills. Take them instead.”

Ling Yunpo was momentarily stunned: Liuli and I had searched for months outside to locate the ancient dragon within the Dragon Prison Well, just to acquire Dragon Blood Pills. Yet this Shushan Immortal casually reached out and produced one… Oh right, the Demon Locking Tower has a Ying Long—never mind then.

But wasn’t the Dragon Blood sealing technique a secret of the Dragon Clan? Even if Long Eyebrow Immortal obtained dragon blood, he surely shouldn’t have this method, correct?

“These Dragon Blood Pills are exceptionally fierce. Consuming them carries the risk of a fiery death.” Long Eyebrow Immortal continued, “Thus, you must bathe in ten-thousand-year-old frozen ice to subdue the fire with cold, protecting your flesh from harm.”

Ling Yunpo was about to refuse when Long Eyebrow Immortal decisively instructed Su Jian:

“Retrieve the ten-thousand-year-old frozen ice from the Xuan Yin Cave.”

“Understood!” Su Jian bowed in acknowledgment. Long Eyebrow Immortal added:

“The ice and fire tormenting both inside and out will test the cultivator’s Root Bone and willpower. Given your Tai Yin Suming Sword as your Life-bound Sword Artifact and your Innate Sword Bone, your Root Bone should not pose any issues.”

“However, to ensure safety, I also have a Ten-Thousand-Year Warm Jade here. Keep it on you as you absorb the dragon blood; it has restorative effects for the physical body, offering greater assurance.”

Ling Yunpo was about to reject this as well, but Su Jian stepped forward, taking the Ten-Thousand-Year Warm Jade from Long Eyebrow Immortal’s sleeve with a grin, saying, “With this treasure conferred by Immortal, there is certainly no chance of failure.”

“As for your willpower, I trust that your resolute disposition will not be a concern.” Long Eyebrow Immortal said, “But to make doubly sure…”

Ling Yunpo hurriedly waved his hand, only to hear Long Eyebrow Immortal continue:

“… Qing Heng True Person will accompany him during this.”

Ling Yunpo internally wept: That’s it—for better or worse, there’s no escaping now.

A divine pill, a magical treasure, mentorship from my master, protection from my senior sister—there was truly no room for refusal!

What if I forcibly consumed the pill and claimed it had no effect on me? Too implausible—the Dragon Blood Pill works wonders for anyone; why would it fail only on me? My Innate Sword Bone isn’t an Innate Leak Bone!

Perhaps, I could insist the Tai Yin Suming Sword absorbed all its medicinal energy?

This seems feasible! After all, the Tai Yin Suming Sword is a divine blade—eccentric and uncommunicative by nature. If it suddenly decided to absorb all the medicinal energy in me, I would have no say in the matter. You could argue with the sword about it, asking it to spit the energy back out! Ha-ha-ha-ha!

Ling Yunpo resolved to proceed, expressing his gratitude profusely to Long Eyebrow Immortal.

Long Eyebrow Immortal, seeing this boy’s sincere gratitude and earnest expression, was inexplicably moved further. Feeling guilt over his past lack of discernment, he loathed his earlier misjudgments even more, and transmitted secretly to Su Jian:

“This disciple of yours… has such a righteous nature. We’ve wronged him too much in the past; now we must compensate properly.”

Su Jian responded obediently, but inwardly griped:

“You were the one treating him harshly; I wasn’t. I just failed my duties as a master due to being in deadlocked seclusion.”

Still, the Immortal wasn’t wrong; going forward, he should indeed make proper amends for this disciple. But what about the fact that this disciple stole my precious daughter? How should I account for that?

Upon leaving the Demon Locking Tower, Su Jian pondered this grumble-filled dilemma as he brought Ling Yunpo back to Qingluo Peak. He then instructed An Zhisu:

“South of Shushan, near the Southern Border, lies the Xuan Yin Cave. It contains ten-thousand-year-old frozen ice essence, with perpetual snowfall that never melts. This place is a Shushan secret, not to be leaked to others within the Sect.”

“Your junior brother Qing Heng now urgently needs to achieve Great Perfection in the Golden Core Realm. The Immortal has bestowed him with a Dragon Blood Pill which requires immersion in the ten-thousand-year frozen ice, using Xuan Yin energy to suppress the dragon blood within his body.”

“This dual torment of ice and fire tests the cultivator’s willpower intensely. Thus, you must remain close by to act as protector and ensure his spirits do not falter.”

An Zhisu agreed without hesitation. Su Jian then handed the Ten-Thousand-Year Warm Jade to Ling Yunpo, saying:

“The Immortal bestowed it upon us, and I knew your character would refuse to accept it outright. Thus, I took it first and now pass it to you.”

Ling Yunpo numbly accepted the Warm Jade, thinking: Master, you truly understand me well.

“This Warm Jade requires no activation. Simply wearing it restores and nourishes the physical body.” Su Jian continued, “It is an extremely precious treasure; ensure you keep it safe.”

“Thank you, Master, and thank you, Immortal.” Ling Yunpo replied insincerely.

“There’s no time to waste.” Su Jian finally declared, “Qing Heng, you are the future of Shushan. If we wish to triumph over Kunlun, you must shoulder this great responsibility.”

“So let’s put aside concerns about relying on external objects. You must quickly cultivate to Great Perfection in the Golden Core Realm. Success is your only option; failure is unacceptable!”
