Chapter 752: Li Qingran, who wanted to gain experience

...

Li Qingran's declaration of wanting to avenge Chen Huaian was not an empty promise.

While Chen Huaian was beside her, recovering his body, she sat in meditation, cultivating. She was well aware that with her current lowly cultivation, she was no match for a Demon Immortal. However, she still had plenty of time to improve herself. There was a full 24-fold time difference between Earth Star and the Cangyun Realm. One day, she would become stronger than the Demon Immortals on Earth Star.

"Master..."

"Hmm?"

"Let's reduce the number of times we dual cultivate each day from now on."

Looking at Chen Huaian, whose body was only repaired up to the waist, Li Qingran said with a serious expression, "While dual cultivation is also a method to increase cultivation, it is neither the fastest nor the most stable. Every time one breaks through, time must be spent consolidating the new realm...

Moreover, too much dual cultivation can lead to indulgence, causing us to lose our vigilance. Over time, it offers no real benefit to our cultivation... I've been acting recklessly lately. In truth, Master has long been aware of all this, but was unwilling to refuse my various unreasonable demands. I understand this clearly in my heart!"

Chen Huaian looked at Li Qingran, whose eyes were wide open and filled with remorse, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Alright, alright, everyone's a master at overthinking.

However, what Li Qingran said wasn't wrong.

He currently only had that one pill obtained from the war token rewards.

After dual cultivating with Li Qingran so many times, the pill's efficacy had long since worn off. Subsequent dual cultivation sessions were based purely on the cultivation technique's foundation and indeed carried the drawbacks Li Qingran mentioned.

"So, what do you plan to do?" He was somewhat curious about Li Qingran's thoughts.

"This disciple wishes to go on a training journey." Li Qingran's gaze was firm.

"A training journey?" Chen Huaian was puzzled.

In the past, disciples from sects went on training journeys because there were conflicts between sects.

Moreover, at that time, demon beasts ran rampant, and danger was everywhere.

To obtain resources, these sect disciples not only had to fight demon beasts but also contend with cultivators from other sects and rogue cultivators hiding in the shadows.

Nowadays, the world's sects are unified.

Most rogue cultivators have joined sects, and resources are no longer lacking.

With the sect's Spirit Gathering Formation constructed from Celestial Jade Marrow, the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire mountain area where the Moon Shadow Sect is located is extremely high. Stimulated by the sect's formation, the five Spirit Veins that had previously stopped growing have once again burst with vitality.

Simultaneously, a large number of Spirit Veins, both large and small, have been born in the mountains near the Moon Shadow Sect.

From the moment the sect's Spirit Gathering Formation appeared,

the cultivation resources most needed by cultivators were no longer so scarce. As for those rare heavenly treasures, there indeed aren't any near the Moon Shadow Sect currently.

But if there's a desire to search for them, one can form a team and go out together.

The danger of such training journeys has naturally decreased significantly.

Coupled with the fact that the Demon Race is now defeated and holed up in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, unwilling to come out, when disciples say they are going out for training, it's practically no different from an outing.

A group without natural enemies or external threats will prosper rapidly in a short time but will gradually lose its combat prowess because of it... Chen Huaian understood this well, but for the moment, he had no good countermeasure.

"Where do you plan to go for this training?" Chen Huaian asked. "The Hundred Thousand Mountains? There are indeed many opportunities there, but it's currently the most dangerous place in the Cangyun Realm.

The Demon Race holds a grudge against This Venerable One. They won't let any human entering the Hundred Thousand Mountains off easily. Moreover, you are This Venerable One's disciple. You absolutely cannot go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains!"

Li Qingran obediently nodded, then shook her head. "Master, this disciple naturally wouldn't go to the Hundred Thousand Mountains. What difference is there between that and delivering oneself to death?

This disciple wishes to travel and experience the miniature worlds. The Cangyun Realm is a major world, connected to countless miniature worlds. The opportunities there are not necessarily fewer than in the Cangyun Realm."

So, she planned to go to the miniature worlds...

The miniature worlds are fraught with dangers, not necessarily any better than the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The difference between a miniature world and the Cangyun Realm is essentially the relationship between a vassal and its suzerain.

The former extends from the latter, so their cultivation civilizations are naturally not too different. However, this doesn't mean cultivators from miniature worlds are weaker than those from the Cangyun Realm. One could only say that, lacking the Cangyun Realm's long history, they are at a disadvantage in terms of magical artifacts, techniques, and divine abilities.

Some prodigies from certain miniature worlds are still incredibly formidable. Even using relatively ordinary divine abilities and artifacts, they pose a significant threat.

"Qingran, you..." Thinking of the risks and implications, Chen Huaian opened his mouth, intending to dissuade her.

Li Qingran, however, let out an indignant huff, cutting off the words Chen Huaian was about to say.

"Master, if you can make this disciple stay on Earth Star forever, stay by your side forever, then this disciple will not go to the miniature worlds for training."

"Right now, only two things can put this disciple's heart at ease!" Li Qingran held up two fingers. "First, either face danger together with Master; or this disciple must become stronger rapidly amidst danger. Only by becoming stronger, by becoming capable of helping Master, can this disciple feel a sense of security."

At this point, the corners of Li Qingran's eyes began to redden slightly again. "Does Master want this disciple to live forever in guilt and constant fear?"

Chen Huaian was at a loss for words, caught in a dilemma. After a long pause, he finally managed to say, "But that's what your master should do. When facing danger, your master should stand at the forefront, shouldn't he? Besides, regarding the situation on Earth Star, it's not a matter of your master wanting you all to help; you simply wouldn't be able to help."

"This disciple helping Master is also what should be done." Li Qingran pouted, pressing on relentlessly. "If this disciple cannot help Master, it means this disciple's cultivation is insufficient. If this disciple had the strength of a True Immortal, I would have long since broken through the barrier between the two realms to go to Master's world. Doesn't this precisely prove that this disciple should go on a training journey to improve my cultivation?"

Li Qingran's words were logical and well-reasoned, each point connecting to the next.

It left Chen Huaian with nothing to say.

More importantly, Li Qingran was an independent individual. If she truly wanted to go train in the miniature worlds, could he really restrict her?

The fact that Li Qingran was now openly discussing it with him was both a consultation and her way of trying to set his mind at ease.

"Does Master not have the confidence to protect this disciple in a miniature world?" Li Qingran leaned closer, staring at Chen Huaian, wrinkling her nose. "Master said before that no matter where this disciple is, you could protect me. Does that promise no longer count?"

Chen Huaian naturally didn't fall for such obvious attempts at provocation.

But while he might not fall for others' provocations, he couldn't help but fall for Li Qingran's.

"What kind of talk is that!" He frowned. "Would This Venerable One let you encounter danger? As for the miniature worlds, go ahead! Your master's concern is that reaching the miniature worlds isn't easy. Before going, you should consult more with those elders, accumulate some experience in advance..."

Chen Huaian went on and on, listing many things.

Li Qingran couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.

But looking at her master, who only had half a mutilated body left, the smile on her face faded.

"Master, please continue healing here. This disciple will go now to discuss the matters of going to a miniature world for training with the various elders."

After saying this, Li Qingran wiped the tears from the corner of her eye and, without waiting for Chen Huaian to speak, turned and left the cave dwelling.
