My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Li Shuhe shook her head: "You can't say that. Even Le Shu made Yu Chen wary, which shows that she has some hidden cultivation methods that we don't know about."

"Even the Dao Venerable couldn't see it?"

The Second Elder of Blade Peak, Zhao Bochen, and his disciple, Lin Zhuzui, exchanged a glance. "Aside from the seniors who are in seclusion, Dao Zun's cultivation is already among the best in our Canglan Realm."

Even the Demon Lord and the Sword Lord, none of them have been known to have a cultivation level higher than the Dao Lord. What kind of method could prevent someone with such a high level of cultivation from seeing through it?

Li Shuhe said, "It is precisely because even someone with such high cultivation cannot see through me that I feel terrified."

We still don't know their purpose, which is why we need to investigate them constantly. This is a risky move; if we make a single mistake, perhaps our Demon Blade Sect will...

Let Elder Xie Xiren perform a divination.

The young disciple behind Li Shuhe immediately took out a communication jade slip and contacted Xie Xiren, the Grand Elder of the Dao Asking Peak.

"If Dao Zun hadn't brought them back to our Shi Ren Sect, who knows how many cultivators these three would have harmed outside," Fu Yuanzheng said indignantly.

He was a disciple of Jiang Shiren, the second elder of the Discipline Hall.

Tong Wei disagreed with Jiang Shiren's words: "After getting to know Luo Hanying, I feel that she is not that kind of child."

Tao Man scoffed, "Elder Tong, what are you saying? If someone can't disguise themselves and you can see through them right away, then what kind of spy are they?"

After a brief hushed discussion, Xie Xiren arrived late. She took out a tortoise shell divination tablet, bowed to Li Shuhe, and said, "The calamity originates from the west, but good fortune will prevail. This is a minor auspicious sign."

The west……

Both Yuling Peak and Xinglin Peak are located to the west...

Ruan Chayan calmly stated her future plans: "I will probably be staying at Nahai Tower from now on. I haven't finished learning the Beast Taming Techniques and other things the system gave me yet."

I've glanced at the beast-taming manual of the Shiren Sect; it seems to be a branch of the incomplete scrolls given by the system. I'll study it more carefully later.

Luo Hanying nodded understandingly. Looking at the surrounding scenery, she said, "It's easy for you to learn how to control beasts, but I'm a bit at a loss as to where to start."

I'm learning from the materials provided by the system, but there are some parts I don't quite understand. The system isn't online, so I don't know who to ask.

I'm considering whether to take classes with them to get a feel for the learning process and stuff.

"I can't help with Confucian studies; you'll probably have to figure it out for yourself."

Ruan Chayan took out two oval red fruits from her Qiankun bag and handed one to Luo Hanying. While eating one, she continued, "This afternoon I was looking at that bamboo slip introducing the Shiren Sect. It said that Renming Peak studies the Seven Star Hidden Blade Manual."

I looked into it with my senior brother, and he said that if we're not sword cultivators, we can't learn it. Apparently, that sword manual requires a certain mental cultivation method to be paired with it, and cultivators can't just learn mental cultivation methods randomly, as it's easy to go into qi deviation.

I'll check with Nahai Tower tomorrow to see if they have any sword techniques that anyone can learn. If I find any, you should copy them and learn them too.

Luo Hanying exclaimed "Ah!" and said, "It seems we don't need to. Even Confucian scholars have classes on swordsmanship."

Oh dear, I just arrived and don't know the details yet. I'll look into it later. You can find one first. If all else fails, I can learn from you. It would be nice if we practiced swordsmanship together.

I heard that the Confucian scholars at our Wuyu Terrace sometimes have elders from Wuyue Peak teach us music classes, and those classes also include dancing.

Ruan Chayan wore the same bewildered expression as Luo Hanying: [“Dancing? Why dance? To give the enemy a beautiful dance during the fight and make them swoon?”]

"Hahaha~" Luo Hanying laughed so hard she couldn't eat the fruit anymore. "I don't know, maybe it's for self-cultivation, who knows?"

What you're saying is, does our Imperial Academy class mean we learn to drive? People here can practically fly swords and control weapons with a single step…

Oh, maybe he's learning sword control or weapon control. Sorry, I laughed too soon.

Ruan Chayan couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, alright, as long as you have a good idea of ​​what's going on."

"I'm actually quite unsure of myself. My master told me to go see him at 6:45 AM tomorrow, but the system isn't here, so I don't know when that is."

Luo Hanying tossed the fruit pit in her hand with a worried expression. ["I plan to stay awake until dawn tomorrow and wait at his door."]

The fruit pit passed through the barrier and landed in the pond, where colorful koi carp rushed to bite it, splashing water everywhere.

"Time, six quarters..." Ruan Chayan thought for a moment and said, "I remember now, don't you have a water clock in your cave?"

Luo Hanying asked with an exaggerated expression: "A water clock?! You have such a high-level item in your cave?!"

Ruan Chayan asked, puzzled, "It's just a very simple timekeeping instrument, how is it advanced?"

Luo Hanying sighed: "You don't know, all the disciples of Wuyutai live in thatched huts. There's nothing in the hut except a bed, a table, and two chairs!"

The house was completely bare!

I was too embarrassed to ask my senior brother why, afraid people would think I was being greedy and extravagant.

"So poor?" Ruan Chayan blinked. "Why don't you come and live with me? My cave dwelling isn't the best, but at least it's fully furnished and has everything you need."

"Isn't this inappropriate? After all, we're from different backgrounds."

Luo Hanying braced herself back with her hand and looked up at the starry sky. ["Let's wait a bit longer, until we're more familiar with each other. I'm a little tired."]

Ruan Chayan had a sudden inspiration: [“Why don’t you come back with me later and get the water clock for your use? I don’t need it here anyway.”]

Luo Hanying chuckled, "Hey, this works! I think it's a good idea."

The two chatted for a while longer, and then Luo Hanying slapped her thigh and said, "Oh dear, I forgot about the important matter. Isn't my place close to the Discipline Hall?"

My senior brother and I asked around, and he said that not many people go to the Discipline Hall, because no one wants to see the elders of the Discipline Hall.

Then……"】

She took out a bamboo slip, infused it with spiritual energy, opened the catalog, and searched through it. Lines of dense text unfolded before the two of them.

Ruan Chayan narrowed her eyes: [“What is this…”]

She scanned it with her divine sense, and the malicious content twisted and drilled into her sea of ​​consciousness.

"Disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage are not allowed to eat two meals a day? What kind of rule is this? One meal every four days?"

Wait a minute? They only eat two meals a day here?

Ruan Chayan scratched her forehead. "Not allowing disciples to go up Burong Mountain? Where is Burong Mountain?"

What is this thing?

Luo Hanying: "These are the sect rules of the Shiren Sect. Didn't I say that everyone is unwilling to go to the Discipline Hall?"

I was thinking, if the conventional methods don't work, we can just make a few mistakes, and then the elders will take us over for a lecture, right?

Ruan Chayan chuckled and said, "Isn't it unnecessary to make such a big sacrifice?"

Oh dear, I didn't flip back then and didn't see these things.

What kind of strange rules are these?
