I have a high-risk profession in the cultivation world.

Chu Chenmu landed outside the courtyard gate. He hadn't yet appreciated the scenery in his own little courtyard, but seeing it today, it was quite nice.

In the corner of the courtyard, there was a small patch of purple bamboo. Today, the warm sunlight shone through the bamboo leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. This purple bamboo was no ordinary bamboo; one could vaguely sense the flow of spiritual energy within it.

But the other side of the road is so empty, perhaps we should set up a...

Have it.

He took out a stone table and several stone stools from his storage ring. Feeling that something was still missing, he rummaged around for a while and took out a rattan chair, on which one could half-lie.

Chu Chenmu sat on it and rocked back and forth for a bit, closing his eyes to feel the gentle sunlight. He was so comfortable that he almost didn't want to go into seclusion. After rocking back and forth only twice, Chu Chenmu quickly got up, put away the recliner, and left only the stone table and benches.

The persona of being aloof and self-disciplined must not crumble.

……

Luo Suichen returned to the courtyard and found an extra set of table and chairs. Without giving it any thought, he went straight into the house.

Chu Chenmu, who had been lazily half-lying on the bed, had already sensed someone approaching his courtyard. He guessed that Luo Suichen was about to arrive, so he got up from the bed decisively, placed two bottles of body-tempering pills on the table, and sat upright in the chair, making a hundred and eight small movements with his whole body.

At the same time, he secretly pondered:

"It's still good to have cultivation. He only spent less than an incense stick's time going to Yundan Peak to get pills and making a round trip. Tsk tsk tsk."

……

This was the scene that greeted Luo Suichen as soon as he entered.

He obediently walked up to Chu Chenmu and said softly, "Disciple greets Master. Ah Chen's pace is too slow, and I have kept Master waiting. I hope Master will forgive me."

Chu Chenmu: ? ? ?

What kind of emotional journey did the male protagonist go through during this period?

Why does he suddenly call himself Ah Chen?

It disgusted him.

Perhaps because he had just finished exercising, Luo Suichen's face was slightly flushed, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, and he was slightly out of breath as he spoke. Anyone with eyes could see that he was exhausted.

There were only two people in the room. Seeing Luo Suichen's posture, "the discerning Chu Chenmu" knew it was time for him to take the stage.

"It's alright, the timing is perfect. Take this, swallow one, meditate to absorb it, it will benefit your body tempering." Chu Chenmu gestured with his chin toward the medicine bottle on the table.

Luo Suichen's eyes narrowed, and he asked calmly, "Master, what is this?"

"This is a Body Tempering Pill that I obtained for you from Elder Yunlu. It is a first-grade pill. Take this pill after you have finished your body tempering. It will improve the efficiency of your body tempering and also relieve your physical discomfort, preventing any potential problems."

Tch, isn't it all for the sake of a quick and painless death?

"Achen thanks Master!"

Ah, this elixir must be strange.

The two engaged in a closely contested battle, neither able to gain the upper hand.

If anyone saw this scene, they would surely think that the master and disciple had a deep and affectionate relationship.

"Take your things and come with me to the training ground."

Chu Chenmu got up and used his sword to take Luo Suichen to the training ground for seclusion.

Despite having the word "field" in its name, the training ground is actually a solid cliff.

When Chu Chenmu first unearthed this name from the original owner's memories, he even wondered which terrible name-giver had come up with it.

The Wuji Sect, being a large and powerful organization, specially selected an entire precipitous mountain and carved out caves from the foot to the summit. These caves are equipped with spirit-gathering arrays for disciples who wish to engage in secluded cultivation. Disciples only need to pay a certain amount of sect points to enter the cultivation area.

The closer to the mountaintop, the better the spirit-gathering array becomes, but it also requires greater strength. Elders like Chu Chenmu, on the other hand, have their own private caves.

……

The two landed directly at the entrance of Chu Chenmu's cave. Chu Chenmu made a hand seal with one hand and waved his other hand dismissively, dispelling the restriction...

It wasn't removed.

I tried it again, following the hand seals I remembered.

Oh no, I'm doomed Σ( ° △ °|||)︴.

He couldn't break the restriction set by the original owner.

Come again!

.

. . .

Chu Chenmu stood stiffly at the cave entrance, secretly trying seven or eight more times under the cover of his wide sleeves, finally accepting the tragic fact that he had not yet fully adapted to the original owner's cultivation level.

Luo Suichen: "Master?"

Chu Chenmu: "..."

It turns out that waving your hand isn't about showing off, but about slapping someone in the face.

"I am not dead."

"Life is short, just bear with it and it will pass."

Chu Chenmu: "Ahem, this is my training ground. I've brought you here today to help you identify it. Now, I'll take you to the area where I cultivate and let you choose a cave."

Luo Suichen: So you're making it sound like you're going to take me in?

"Master, may I go in and take a look?"

Chu Chenmu's brows furrowed so deeply they looked like they could trap a fly. He secretly resented Luo Suichen's lack of tact and thought to himself that if he could get in, he would have done so already.

"No need. I won't go in to cultivate today. I'll bring you another day."

Having said that, before Luo Suichen could react, Chu Chenmu picked him up and jumped off the cliff, casually choosing a cave suitable for disciples below the Foundation Establishment stage. A hint of panic was evident in his figure.

The two entered the cave together. Chu Chenmu waved his hand to set up a simple restriction, then took out a handful of spirit stones to activate the spirit-gathering array. Seeing that Luo Suichen was standing still without moving, he frowned slightly and urged:

"Go and try to draw qi into your body as explained in the introductory manual."

"Yes, Master. We respectfully see you off, Master."

Again.

This mouth...

"It's so damn damned."

I really want to cast a silencing spell on him.

“I won’t leave. I will stay here to protect you. The Qi Induction stage is the foundation for a cultivator’s cultivation. There can be no mistakes. You can cultivate here in peace. Wait until you reach the third level of Qi Refining before waking me up. I will teach you some sword techniques.”

Chu Chenmu's mission deadline was fast approaching. He was anxious.

Regardless of whether Luo Suichen believed it or not, he walked straight to the stone platform to the side, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and began to pretend.

[Congratulations, host, mission successful.]

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the system notification.

Thank goodness, deadlines really are the primary driving force.

Next, all he has to do is stay here with this wicked disciple for the remaining two years.

……

The cultivation room wasn't large, and it was originally intended for single-person use. With two people sitting in this small cave, it didn't feel very spacious.

Luo Suichen stared intently at Chu Chenmu, who was only three or four steps away from him, feeling increasingly confused.

What is he trying to do?

The process of drawing qi into the body must be flawless, without the slightest error.

Luo Suichen scoffed lightly. In the ten thousand years of the cultivation world, he had never heard of anyone being so stupid as to go into qi deviation during the Qi Induction stage.

Is he trying to fool me, thinking I'm an eight or nine-year-old child?

Although this body is indeed... still a child.

Regardless, he still needs to start cultivating as soon as possible to regain his cultivation level from his previous life.

Thinking of this, Luo Suichen's small body skillfully assumed a meditative posture, about to enter a state of deep concentration. However, his peripheral vision caught sight of the bottle of body-tempering pills given by Chu Chenmu, and his gaze paused slightly. Although he couldn't figure out Chu Chenmu's motive for harming him, he didn't believe that he could be so kind as to ask for pills for a child he had only known for a dozen hours.

He then closed his eyes and began to draw energy into his body.

Luo Suichen forgot that, whether in his past life or now, he was originally just a beggar who was rescued by Chu Chenmu, which allowed him to join the Wuji Sect and embark on the path of cultivation.
