What bad intentions could my Daoist partner possibly have?

Chapter 9 That night, Li Qingan screamed like Tom the cat…

"You're my only disciple. For your sake, and for my own, I'll definitely teach you the Daoist arts properly. Isn't that right?"

"And if you become my disciple, I won't have to worry about you having any ulterior motives, right?"

"So, what's your decision?"

Huang Qingwu knelt on one knee beside Li Qingan, put her right arm around Li Qingan's shoulder, and placed her left hand on the sword on the table. Her voice was like a devil's bass, coaxing him gently.

At this moment, the long-sleeved blouse embroidered with golden phoenix patterns that she wore slipped down to her arm, so her fair and delicate shoulders and half of her plump and white skin were exposed and brightly displayed on the table, not only showing a deep and alluring shadow, but also allowing Li Qing'an to clearly see the golden phoenix with outstretched wings embroidered on the front of the camisole.

The Golden Phoenix is ​​very large.

Li Qing'an felt the eerie yet realistically smooth and delicate texture emanating from his side, and his mouth went dry.

The body, where yang energy has not been depleted, reacts far more strongly than the brain.

He truly hadn't expected that Huang Qingwu wasn't just talking the talk.

They really dare to give themselves perks!

"I have a master."

"Isn't she dead?" Huang Qingwu said calmly. "That female ghost is dead, so she definitely can't live either."

Li Qingan turned to look at the few strands of her long, black, lustrous hair hanging down from her red veil: "What makes you assume she's dead?"

He paused, then continued, "The female ghost didn't say she was my master. What if my master asked me to escort the evil thoughts of another powerful figure from the Daoist sect? And that powerful figure happens to be an elder I respect, so..."

What makes you so certain that it was my master who died?

Huang Qingwu was silent for a few seconds, then smiled faintly: "You humans have applied the theory of 'Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher' to cultivation. You can't sense it in the female ghost's evil thoughts that were separated from you, but I can clearly see the connection between you and her."

Your master almost made you bear the backlash of killing your master... It must be because you're too kind that she naturally assigned this task to you, knowing you wouldn't complain.

She gently patted Li Qingan's shoulder with her slender fingers: "Tell me, is your guess more accurate, or mine?"

Li Qingan remained silent; he had, of course, considered this worst-case scenario.

"Given your current situation, it's best to start by considering the worst-case scenario, isn't it?" Huang Qingwu said calmly. "Of all the disciples in the Dao Sect, why choose you to deliver it? Whether you succeed or not, some people will definitely look at you strangely, won't they?"

"Why do I feel like you're leading me astray into evil ways?"

Huang Qingwu chuckled and extended her left hand, placing the debt on the table in front of Li Qingan. Her fingertips, stained with red nail polish, tapped lightly a few times: "Isn't human nature just like this?"

Li Qingan smiled: "The second of the three rules is: don't try to control my mind or body to suit your nature... Master."

Hearing Li Qing'an's answer, Huang Qingwu's tone carried a hint of satisfaction: "Good boy."

"Now that I've become your apprentice, shouldn't you give your disciple a gift?"

"Heh..." Huang Qingwu lowered her head slightly: "Did you give me a gift for becoming your disciple?"

"Seven million high-grade spirit crystals!"

"..."

Huang Qingwu took a deep breath: "A gift, right..."

The moment she finished speaking, Huang Qingwu turned around and pulled Li Qingan into her arms.

In an instant, Li Qing'an felt the entire world lose its light, leaving only his face smooth and fragrant.

It smells so good, so good...

Li Qingan's breathing became heavier, but before he could fully appreciate it, a feeling of suffocation surged into his brain.

"Um..."

Li Qingan quickly raised his hand to slap it, but even though Huang Qingwu was right in front of him, his hands couldn't feel anything touching her.

His face grew redder and redder, and then...

Light returned to his vision, and Li Qingan bent over, panting heavily, the veins on his neck bulging.

That feeling was like swimming in the ocean. At first it was very comfortable, but then... I almost drowned.

Huang Qingwu patted his back gently and comforted him with a smile, "My dear disciple, are you alright? It's all my fault for being so arrogant. I forgot you're not even 1.9 meters tall. You almost suffocated from the gift..."

Li Qingan raised his head to look at Huang Qingwu and sneered, "Not a loss!"

Huang Qingwu chuckled lightly: "Really? But why do I feel like you're having trouble handling the Seven-Inch Two issue?"

She pointed downwards with her index finger, her tone teasing: "I can't touch you in this state."

Li Qing'an didn't believe her nonsense, but he was too lazy to argue with her, because he had already realized that she was enjoying the teasing process rather than directly crossing the line.

It's not hard to deduce from Huang Qingwu's words that her three souls—the primordial spirit, the yang spirit, and the yin spirit—are suppressed in different places, and the one who came out of Luohuang Mountain with her is the yin spirit.

Because she constantly tries to incite him to commit mass murder, and coupled with her flirting with him... her somewhat wicked nature does indeed fit the characteristics of a Yin spirit.

"Didn't you say you'd teach me body tempering? Let's begin."

"You brat, watch your tone!" Huang Qingwu's large hand covered Li Qing'an's head, saying this without caring about his attitude at all.

"This is the Phoenix Rebirth Method; learn it accordingly."

Looking at the newly appeared incantation in his mind, Li Qing'an couldn't help but ask, "Won't you turn into a phoenix in the end?"

"What are you thinking about?" Huang Qingwu said calmly, "It's not like a fish leaping over the dragon gate. Besides, you are human, not a demon. No matter how much you cultivate, you can't change your own bloodline."

"Oh……"

"Let's use Phoenix Fire to condense the first wisp of Nirvana Seed in the first chapter, 'Burning Fiery Realm'."

With a flick of her finger, Huang Qingwu made Li Qing'an clearly see a wisp of phoenix fire igniting in his Qi Sea Sword Heart.

It is the Phoenix Fire from the ancient well on Luohuang Mountain.

"You brought this thing out with you?"

"Do you think that having you undergo body tempering was just a whim?" Huang Qingwu slowly stood up, his tall shadow once again enveloping Li Qing'an: "If you want to help me get out, this is an essential process."

Li Qingan nodded: "However, the first step of the Burning Fire Realm, 'Fire Absorption,' involves drawing a raging fire spirit into the body in a place of extreme yang to temper the meridians. I have no experience with body tempering, so I'll just use a divine fire like the Phoenix Fire directly..."

"You're so young, you won't die no matter how much you train." Huang Qingwu interrupted him, "With me backing you up, you definitely won't be burned to death."

"I've prepared all the yin energy for you, so now that you're ready, let's begin."

"The first step is to sense the Qi, condense the power of Qi and blood into Gang Force, and then temper it with Phoenix Fire."

As Huang Qingwu spoke, she swung her hand and threw Li Qingan to the ground, her tone stern: "If you don't advance to the Qi Sensing Realm tonight, see how I beat you!"

In an instant, Huang Qingwu transformed into a strict teacher, looking down at Li Qing'an. The yin energy in her right hand transformed into a whip as thick as a wrist, crackling loudly as it was swung in mid-air.

Several of the lashes struck the floor beside Li Qing'an with pinpoint accuracy, making his heart pound with fear.

"Are you serious?"

"Don't you want to die either?" Huang Qingwu sneered; "If you don't want to die, then train to the point of death. This is for your own good."

She paused, then her tone shifted, becoming suddenly more alluring: "If you behave well, I can give you this little dress~" As she spoke, she raised her right hand, her fingers gently twirling the strap of the halter top on her fair shoulder, again and again…

Pa~pa~
The sound of the straps taut against her shoulders was like the most beautiful melody, and when combined with the gentle ripples, the sensations for the eyes and ears were indescribable.

Li Qingan licked his lips: "Take it off in front of me."

"Okay, so..."

Snapped!
Huang Qingwu lashed out with her whip again, her tone returning to its stern tone: "Get started now, stop dawdling!"

Li Qing'an took a deep breath and immediately began to comprehend his own Qi and blood power according to the general principles of the Phoenix Nirvana Method.

Qi cultivation seeks externally, while physical strength cultivation seeks internally.

"You have already reached the fifth realm of Qi Refining, the Sky Ascension Realm. Although you have not been exposed to Body Refining before, the Qi Observation Realm of the first realm of Qi Refining and the Qi Sensing Realm of the first realm of Body Refining are similar to each other to some extent."

Huang Qingwu, who had sat back on the 'Qingwu' sword, crossed her legs and said, "The Dao... manifests in the heavens, takes shape on the earth, and shapes destiny in people. That's the principle. I don't need to explain it to you in detail, do I?"

"Need not."

"That's true. After all, this is the cultivation system of the human race established by the Dao Sect, the number one sect of your human race. You should have memorized it since you were a child."

As she spoke, Huang Qingwu's voice revealed a hint of satisfaction: "Yes, that's it."

"Gather the energy and blood you feel into the Qihai acupoint in your dantian."

"Hmm, almost to the Qi Sea, getting closer. Just keep moving along the meridians, we're almost there..."

"Hold on, right now..."

Li Qing'an, who was sensing the Qi with his eyes closed, didn't know how much time had passed. He only felt that Huang Qingwu's stern voice carried a hint of amusement, and the words she spoke were extremely easy to misinterpret.

He was already agitated by her earlier provocations, and now the sensation of her energy was making his body temperature rise even higher. And this female ghost was truly inhuman, deliberately saying such things...

"Hmm, the Qi and blood have finally entered the Qihai acupoint..."

Hearing Huang Qingwu's voice, Li Qingan suddenly opened his eyes and looked up: "Can't you be serious for once? Aren't you afraid I'll go berserk?"

I am transforming Qi and blood into Gang Li in the Qihai acupoint, not into 'ten drops of blood'.

"I am tempering your character at the same time," Huang Qingwu said matter-of-factly. "If you go outside and lose control and deplete your yang energy, although it will not affect your subsequent body tempering, you can forget about reaching perfection of my Phoenix Nirvana Method."

She paused, then added, "But don't worry, I won't let you hold it in forever. Once you've laid a solid foundation and reached the third realm, the Soul Forging Realm, you won't have to worry anymore."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingan breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if he doesn't seek out other people afterward, given Huang Qingwu's occasional wicked teasing, he might not be able to hold back for long.

"Don't slack off, the most important stage is yet to come."

Refined by Phoenix Fire.

Li Qing'an quickly composed himself, but when the phoenix fire in his Qi Sea Sword Heart surged out towards the Qi Sea acupoint, his expression twisted in an instant amidst the scorching heat.

Using Phoenix Fire to temper this level of strength from the start is like a small horse pulling a heavy cart.
That night, Li Qingan felt like he was screaming like Tom the cat...

······
“Miss, we have indeed made some progress on the matter you asked us to investigate along the way.”

In the private room of Mingyue Tower, Luo Qi stared at the disappearing pastries on the table, a smile flashing in her eyes: "Compared to the past, the spiritual energy of Yanzhou has indeed shown signs of recovery."

However, after searching extensively, the source of the revival has yet to be found.

Looking at the teacup that had been picked up from the table, she paused slightly before continuing, "If the revival of spiritual energy is not limited to Yanzhou, perhaps Chang Geng Realm can truly regain its former status in the future."

"Hmm... You don't need to tell me these things, let my mother worry about them. Where's Li Qing'an? Didn't he come back with you?"

"He left shortly after we entered the city. He probably rushed home to prepare a surprise for Saintess Su. I saw that he left in a great hurry."

"I see... then we'll have to see each other again at dawn?"

"Probably. Now that he's back, Saintess Su will definitely come to Luoxia City again."

"Sigh, I was hoping to see what surprise he had prepared this time... I hope it's not the same old thing, that would be so boring."

But Lingyin seems to fall for this cheesy thing. I don't know if I'm blind or she is.

"In my opinion, Lingyin is just too naive and easily fooled. Look at me, I won't be fooled."

Luo Qi couldn't help but smile, thinking to herself, "Miss, you really like to eat, and your family has never skimped on food, otherwise you would easily be fooled."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Tomorrow I'll block his door. If it's the same old thing again, I'll... I'll..."

Luo Qi asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

"I'll prepare a surprise for him to scare Lingyin, hmph~"

Luo Qi smiled, watching the pastries on the table begin to disappear again, and then asked, "Because of the strange changes in the spiritual energy of Yanzhou, many people have come here. Our trading company was established..."

"You can take full responsibility. Anyway, my mother sent you here because she doesn't trust me. The reason she took you away from me in the first place was because you were clever..."

Sigh, now I'm missing out on a dining companion.

"Miss, you can eat as much as you want and never gain weight. If I had stayed with you all this time, I would definitely be a chubby girl by now."

"Oh, I don't mind..."

Luo Qi smiled to herself, thinking that although she hadn't had a proper conversation with her mistress in a long time, her mistress's personality remained unchanged.

She's already a young woman in her early twenties, but her personality is no different from that of a teenage girl.

Well, her figure is still like a teenage girl's; it hasn't improved much.

Luo Qi subtly shifted her gaze, though she was actually a little puzzled. Given the nutritional value of the food her young lady ate, she shouldn't be unable to develop properly.

That's quite a strange thing.

"Qiqi, you go ahead and do your work. I'm going to sleep for a while. Just make sure you get the things my mother asked you to do done. The more spirit crystals the family earns, the more delicious food I can eat. The little bit of spirit crystals my mother gives me each month isn't enough to eat at all. Once the trading company starts to do well and make a profit, don't report it all. Leave some for me..."

Upon hearing her young mistress's voice, Luo Qi's expression froze for a moment. She remembered that the head of the family gave her young mistress a monthly allowance of one million. Wasn't that enough to live on?

But then she remembered that several kinds of demon beast meat that her mistress liked to eat were not sold in the Chang Geng Realm. If she were to buy them from other realms, it would indeed be a considerable sum.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Luo Qi's eyes as she bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

As Luo Qi left the room, Shen Jianwei quickly rummaged through drawers and found an unopened, beautifully packaged item.

Satisfied, Shen Jianwei sat down on the bedside with the baby in her arms, a sly glint in her eyes.

“Lingyin said last time that these white silk stockings were vulgar and disgusting, and refused to try them on. I don’t believe you can deliver them successfully…”

"Wait, what if it succeeds?"

"Oh well, if it's a success, it's a success. I haven't lost anything anyway, hmph~"

"I'm eager to see what surprise you've prepared first thing tomorrow morning..."
