Chapter 20 - Liu Kan Is Here

Chapter 20 Liu Kan Is Here

With a “clang”, a sandstorm started. Liu Kan could only see dust rising in the air before him, and the figure was rapidly magnified in his eyes, arriving in front of him in just two to three seconds.

It was Ye Yan!

“I’ve gotten faster again!” As soon as Ye Yan left the house, he ran to the foot of the mountain at full speed, getting used to his body at the third level of the beginner Qi-forging realm while he was at it.

It had to be said that the breakthrough of each level would bring a great improvement to his physical fitness. As for his good brother, Ye Wen, he had just left the house when he found out that he had been left behind by his younger brother. He could only slowly rush over from behind.

However, Ye Yan asked him to run. After all, one must pay attention to physical fitness in cultivation. Seeing Ye Yan run so fast, Liu Kan was stunned, then he quickly bowed, ‘Greetings, sect master!”

“Morning! Let’s go, we’ll talk while we walk!” Ye Yan yanked him up, holding his shoulder as they walked up the mountain.

On the way, Ye Yan explained the current situation of the sect to Liu Kan in detail, such as the Dharmic technique, the number of people, and some other basic knowledge. He also mentioned their chore today: digging.

“We’ll need at least four hours to move the soil.”

Four hours! Liu Kan was secretly speechless. He had never done such heavy physical work before! But he didn’t take it to heart. After all, he had made up his mind to cultivate and become a useful person. He immediately said that he would go to dig with Ye Yan and the others.

However, Ye Yan wasn’t intending on asking the other to work when he said that. Hearing the nice guy volunteer to work, his whole face changed, “Don’t! Don’t! There’s plenty of work to do, but our sect needs you more in other aspects.

“Please speak, sect master. If there’s anything I can help you with, I’ll definitely go through fire and water to do it for you!”

“Well, it’s not to the point…” Ye Yan didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry at his enthusiasm, “I’m just saying, except for you and me, no one in the sect has ever learned how to read. As a result, not only in terms of cultivation but also in their future interactions, they will face a great obstacle. So…”

Liu Kan immediately understood Ye Yan’s

thoughts, “I see. Don’t worry sect master. I’ve

studied for a few years and have some knowledge. Teaching lessons is a piece of

cake.”

Ye Yan let out a sigh of relief as the other party agreed to his request. Finally, he had a teacher who could make everyone literate. However, Liu Kan had not finished his sentence.

“But…” Liu Kan changed the topic and raised his voice, “I want to participate in the digging operation too!”

Eh? Ye Yan was stunned, but he immediately smiled, “Deal!”

After all, which boy could resist the temptation of playing with mud? Moreover, this could be considered a team-building event. This was a chance for everyone to get to know each other since they would be in the same unit in the future.

When he arrived at the encampment, Liu Kan looked around and was immediately attracted

by the huge rock.

“This is…” He walked up and looked at the words on it, his breathing becoming rapid. “The sect’s stone tablet,” Ye Yan said with a faint smile.

Liu Kan’s pupils constricted. In his eyes, the words “God-slaying Sect” on the stone tablet were majestic and smooth. Coupled with the golden rims, they appeared even more domineering!

“Good writing!” Unconsciously, Liu Kan slapped his thigh and cheered.

Seeing his excited look, Ye Yan held back his

laughter and told him, “It’s like this now, but when our sect is built better in the future, it

will change again!”

To be honest, Ye Yan had some thoughts when

he saw that the stele would change. Maybe it would have some functions in the future.

“It can even change? This is truly celestial work!” At this moment, Liu Kan was completely mesmerized, and his mouth was full of praise.

Entering the small house, Ye Yan stretched out his hand, and a red space appeared before two books appeared in his hands.

“This is the sect’s Dharmic technique, both the original version and the simplified version. You can choose one and study it. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me,” Ye Yan had several copies of the books by duplicating them with the system.

Liu Kan took the two versions of the book and

flipped through them. Finally, he returned the simplified version to Ye Yan, “Sect master, I’ll keep the original.”

“Alright, then go on and study!”

“Yes!” Liu Kan received the order and sat down

to immerse himself in the book.

Ye Yan didn’t waste any time as he left the house and head towards the spiritual farmland. It wasn’t only after he left the house that he

saw Ye Wen slowly arriving.

“Big brother, it’s normal to not be used to it.

You have to practice your physical skills well,” Ye Yan couldn’t help but say.

Ye Wen knew what his younger brother meant.

He nodded to show that he understood and

walked into the house. Ye Yan calmed down, carefully feeling the aura on Ye Wen’s body, and couldn’t help but be moved.

To think his older brother was already on the verge of breaking through to the Qi-forging Realm. As expected of someone with a one-in-ten-thousand aptitude! Apart from himself, Chen Geng, who had been the first to

cultivate, had spent a long time before he broke through. Moreover, the latter had the support of the Qi Detecting Device.

Who would have thought that Ye Wen would be even faster and show signs of a breakthrough in less than a day? This was where the problem

lay. In the novels he had read, many took a long time to even step into the ranks of cultivation. Now, whether it was Chen Geng,

who had an average aptitude, or Ye Wen, who was one in a million, they had all broken through in a short time.

Could it be due to the Qi Detecting Device? Ye

Yan rubbed his temple. Before he had the Qi Detecting Device, his cultivation speed wasn’t fast either. As for Chen Geng, he only made a breakthrough after the device was obtained. Since his big brother had been inside the house all day yesterday, his cultivation speed wouldn’t be slow with the help of the device. Or was it because of the Dharmic technique? Ye Yan’s Dharmic technique was of the A+ grade, which was probably a very high grade. Ordinary Dharmic techniques might not be able to keep up with it, but that might not be the case for A-grade techniques.

In any case, Ye Yan felt that the main reason

was the Qi Detecting Device. Since it had such an effect at the beginning stages, wouldn’t it bring about great improvements once upgraded?

As soon as he thought of this, his thoughts turned back to the cultivation room. He had a feeling that the cultivation room was not built for nothing. The system might give it special

functions, such as speeding up cultivation or something.

Thinking of this, Ye Yan was looking forward to it and couldn’t wait to start the project as soon as possible. Just as he was in a daze, Chen

Geng, Liu Yi and the other three came up together.

“Brother Yan, morning… What white teeth!”

The four were about to greet him, but then they saw Ye Yan’s white teeth.

“Are you envious? Hurry up and comprehend the Dharmic technique! Then, you can have the same white teeth!” Ye Yan grinned and told them the reason behind his white teeth with a

smile. When the young men heard this, their interest was immediately piqued and they rushed towards the small house. After all, who didn’t want a set of teeth that could blind others? The cultivation time passed quickly, and it was about 10 o’clock now. Ye Yan called everyone out. It’s digging time! The group set off in the direction of the mountain spring. When they arrived at the red soil area, they didn’t need Ye

Yan’s order before they just rushed up and started working.

“Hand it over!” Seeing that Ye Yan was absent-minded, Liu Kan grabbed the hoe from his hand and followed after the others. Seeing him so enthusiastic, Ye Yan didn’t know

whether to laugh or cry. He rushed back to the encampment and took another hoe. The soil of early spring had just been frozen, so it was very difficult to dig. After a long time, they had only dug out a dozen bamboo baskets of mud. Ye Yan looked at the sun. Seeing that it was almost time, he simply stopped everyone, “Alright, that’s all for today. Everyone, take two bamboo baskets each. Those who can’t carry both at the same time can run twice.”

Hearing this, everyone began to pack up,

carrying the bamboo baskets on their backs and starting their return journey. Ye Yan walked in front, feeling that something was off. However, he simply couldn’t put his finger on it. Halfway, he suddenly thought about it, “F*ck! I almost forgot about it!”
