Chapter 9 Cultivation Guidance (Part 2)

  A few days later, Lin Qiulü's injuries had basically healed, but she was now increasingly feeling that there were some problems. She came here to be a bodyguard, but if she couldn't practice her skills, how could she fulfill her duties as a bodyguard when something happened?

  It seems that this problem can only be sought again from Qin Yifan. Last time, Qin Yifan spoke halfway and only mentioned a simple practice method, but there was another complex one that he didn't mention, I don't know if it can solve this problem?

  Finally, after Qin Yifan emerged from the water again, Lin Qiulü looked at Qin Yifan as he used his internal energy to dry off his clothes and prepare to leave, then asked: "You mentioned last time that there was another complicated method, what is it?"

  This was the first time Lin Qiulü had taken the initiative to speak with Qin Yifan in days. Before, if Qin Yifan didn't ask her anything, she definitely wouldn't say a word, as if she were a non-existent person.

  "Really want to know?" Qin Yifan turned his head to look at Lin Qiulü: "Aren't you afraid of what happened last time?"

  Lin Qiulü didn't respond, she just nodded fiercely, her eyes revealing a resolute determination that wouldn't rest until her goal was achieved.

  "Are you a martial artist or a Taoist?" Qin Yifan wanted to confirm, if it was a Taoist, maybe he could ask for some advice.

  Lin Qiulü stared at Qin Yifan in surprise, her eyes wide with wonder: "You also know about cultivators?" In his impression, people who knew about cultivators were already very few. Since Qin Yifan knew, why would he still take the path of martial arts? Wasn't that just a waste of his own life?

  Nodding, confirming that Lin Qiulü was a cultivator, Qin Yifan began to instruct Lin Qiulü: "The complex method is just getting used to it!" Qin Yifan also didn't have anything to hide, and there was no need to hide: "Every time you operate your skills, be careful, firmly control your own thoughts, don't be influenced by external things, slowly get used to it, one day, you can cultivate freely here. However..."

  Lin Qiu Lu, who had some hope after listening to Qin Yi Fan's words, heard the two words that followed and was slightly startled in her heart: "What about?"

  "You can't expect to make any breakthroughs in your practice in an environment like this, it's probably very difficult. Being able to complete one or two cycles of the Microcosmic Orbit is already quite good. Although I don't know what specific method you're practicing, since you're being affected, don't expect to adapt within a short period of time." Qin Yifan spoke truthfully, without any intention of discouraging or persuading: "Also, it's best if you start from a distance and gradually get used to it, otherwise you'll definitely run into the same problem as yesterday."

  "I understand!" It was thought to be a big deal, but it turned out to be just that. To be honest, leaving the side of Jiuwu Zun, Lin Qiulü also didn't expect herself to increase her cultivation by much in the decades spent with Qin Yifan, she had mentally prepared for this.

  The previous injury made Lin Qiulü also careful, not wanting to provoke Qin Yifan again, and immediately began to cultivate by the lake. However, she didn't think her cultivation was weak enough to require a slow adaptation after retreating far away. As night fell, the two returned to the small village, and Lin Qiulü went back to her residence, starting to prepare everything. At night, she planned to be extra careful, slowly adapting to the influence of the evil aura here.

  Although they were prepared this time, they were still affected. After all, Lin Qiulü was a martial artist among the cultivators of the Taoist sect, and although she was different from ordinary martial artists, as a guardian of the emperor, her abilities were more inclined towards combat. The skills of their sect also had some connection with combat. Of course, the fundamental part was still the cultivation of the Heavenly Way.

  The pill in my mouth took effect at the right time. When I couldn't resist the external disturbance and lost control of my spiritual power, I had to interrupt it reluctantly. Of course, such an interruption would inevitably cause injury, but the pill I had prepared in advance was just for this kind of emergency. Fortunately, the preparation was sufficient and timely, but it still took a day and night to recover from the injury that had been prepared for. Even so, I was still frightened out of my wits.

  Twice in a row, Lin Qiulü was injured here, and both times were seen by Qin Yifan. Perhaps it was the dignity of being a royal phoenix guard, or perhaps it was because she had always thought herself superior to those rough warriors, but here, she was seen by Qin Yifan, this coarse and detestable warrior in her eyes, as being helpless against this place. This was something that Lin Qiulü, who was also proud and arrogant among the phoenix guards, could not tolerate.

  Coming to this poor and remote place, which is also a land of evil spirits, he gave up his cultivation of absorbing the true imperial aura beside Jiuwu Zunzun. He was injured twice due to the influence of the evil spirits here, and each time he was seen by the object he wanted to protect. Once, he was even rescued by him, and it was in such an ambiguous and embarrassing situation. More importantly, he is just a martial artist, not even a cultivator, how can Lin Qiulu face him calmly?

  Qin Yifan didn't show any contempt or disdain, but Lin Qiulü couldn't forgive herself for being so weak. Hearing Qin Yifan say that getting used to it would make it better, she who had been hurt for the second time really wanted to tell him that his method was fundamentally unworkable. However, Qin Yifan had already spoken first, this was a complicated and difficult-to-achieve method, she herself couldn't do it, but she also couldn't blame Qin Yifan.

  Originally, I was extremely dissatisfied with being sent here and given to this man as a reward. Later, it was only because of slowly coming to terms that the anger subsided. Now, however, due to setbacks in cultivation, it has resurfaced once again.

  Lin Qiulü herself didn't understand, but within these short few days, the heart demon had already begun to quietly take root in her heart and slowly spread out. Once anger arose, the heart demon would gradually grow stronger, quietly eroding her primordial spirit.

  The notorious place is indeed infamous, in less than ten days, it has successfully planted a demon in the heart of a young disciple who had already left his sect. Previously, this young disciple had stayed by the side of Jiuwu Zunzhu for a long time and had witnessed many dark secrets in the officialdom, but he did not lose his composure, yet he fell here.

  It's probably because Lin Qiulü has always performed exceptionally well, so everything has been smooth sailing. From the sect to the Dragon and Phoenix Guard, it's all been a breeze, and she hasn't even encountered many formidable enemies. She didn't even participate in that previous war where the emperor led the troops personally. To put it bluntly, Lin Qiulü is still just a fledgling swallow who has never weathered any storms, so it's not surprising that she's developed a heart demon.
