Seeing the three Miaoyin Sect Disciples fall one after another, Lin Luochen said faintly, "Let's go back!"
Leng Yueshuang hummed in response, following him back into the cave with a mind full of questions, hesitating to speak.
Lin Luochen suddenly remembered something and looked up at her.
"Do you have any secret arts that can help you Breakthrough?"
In the previous life, with his full financial support, Leng Yueshuang successfully Broke through to the Chūqiào Realm.
In this life, he didn't plan on being so villainous anymore, so he could only hope Leng Yueshuang Broke through ahead of time.
Leng Yueshuang said awkwardly, "If I could Breakthrough, I would have Broke through already!"
Lin Luochen frowned, 'You Broke through two days later in the previous life!'
"Could it be that you were just one step away from the Soul Emergence, just needing to poke through that last layer of window paper?"
"I advise you not to hold back any means you have; if you keep them hidden, you'll be buried!"
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Leng Yueshuang said with dissatisfaction, "Young Master, I really didn't lie to you!"
Lin Luochen frowned, 'Was my investment as an ordinary person that important?'
He suddenly remembered the anomaly he saw on Leng Yueshuang when he used his Qi sensing, and then memories of his death began to attack him.
In the previous life, when that incident happened, Leng Yueshuang's body also emitted a bright moonlight, which then gradually turned bloody.
Lin Luochen's heart sank.
'Damn heavens, you wouldn't play me like this, would you?'
Seeing Lin Luochen's grim expression, Leng Yueshuang comforted him, "Young Master, you don't need to worry too much."
"My Master can sense my location, as long as the Righteous Path's reinforcements arrive, she will come find me!"
Lin Luochen hummed in response, but he felt it was better to rely on himself than on others.
He took out the paper Cultivation Techniques Leng Yueshuang had given him and began to flip through them, desperately trying anything.
If it were in the previous life, Lin Luochen, who couldn't read a single word, naturally wouldn't understand them.
But after a hundred years in the Jade Maiden Sect, he was well-read and proficient in all scholarly arts.
After all, there was nothing to do there; he couldn't even have children, so he could only find things to pass the time.
Among the Cultivation Techniques, there was only one offensive Sword Art, named "Qingping Swordplay."
It was Lin Luochen's first time truly encountering an offensive Cultivation Technique, and he immediately devoured it with great eagerness.
This Sword Art was not a basic Cultivation Technique like the Gathering Breath Art; it contained a large number of Cultivator terms, making him frown deeply as he read.
Lin Luochen tried to gesture with his hand, but he felt his Qi circulation was not smooth, and no matter how he gestured, it felt wrong.
"What does it mean that this sword stance requires 'drawing the Qi of the Earth Vein's Xun position into the Danzhong'? The Danzhong is the central hub of the Ren Meridians, how can it be connected to the eight trigrams' directions?"
Leng Yueshuang was a bit embarrassed; she had also obtained this Sword Art by chance, and it didn't belong to the Jade Maiden Sect's Cultivation Techniques, so she hadn't looked at it in detail.
She could only get up and sit next to Lin Luochen, looked at it carefully, and then began to explain.
"This means that when a Cultivator performs the stepping on the gang, they receive the Thunder Qi from the Zhen Palace, and then convert it through the Danzhong acupoint into the Xun Wind needed for the sword momentum..."
Lin Luochen asked again upon hearing this, "This sword momentum requires the Qingping floating on water, how does it connect with the subsequent Sword Intent of a raging storm?"
Leng Yueshuang smiled faintly, "The subtlety of Qingping lies in using softness to overcome hardness; when starting, it needs to contain seven parts gentleness, and when the sword momentum..."
She looked focused, occasionally tucking back strands of long hair that fell from her temples, bringing with them wafts of fragrance, which made Lin Luochen feel uncomfortable all over.
'Damn it, doesn't this woman know her own charm?'
After finally getting all his questions answered, Lin Luochen quickly closed the Sword Art and moved further away from her.
"Thank you, Fairy, for clarifying. I'll figure out the rest myself."
Leng Yueshuang looked at him like this and smiled charmingly, "Young Master, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me again!"
Lin Luochen hummed in response, "I know, you should quickly recover!"
Being with this woman was more agonizing than fighting Yao Beasts outside; he didn't want to challenge his weaknesses anymore.
The two of them stayed in the cave like this, both feeling that time was passing extremely slowly.
Lin Luochen only wanted to escape this suffering as quickly as possible, the further away from Leng Yueshuang, the better.
Leng Yueshuang, on the other hand, was sharing a room with a man for the first time and felt completely uncomfortable, not knowing what to say.
Fortunately, she had already entered the state of Bigu, so she didn't need to eat, drink, or relieve herself; otherwise, she might have been so embarrassed that she would dig out another mountain spring.
Two days later, in the evening.
Leng Yueshuang slowly opened her eyes; after two days of recuperation, her strength had recovered by seventy to eighty percent.
Although her internal injuries still needed time to heal, all her external injuries had fully recovered, leaving no scars.
Meanwhile, Lin Luochen was waving a dry branch in the cave, his sword moves flowing like wind, and the dry branch emitted a faint green glow of about an inch.
Lin Luochen's movements were elegant and nimble; at first, the sword momentum was as weak as ripples, but after several moves, the sword momentum accumulated, becoming like a raging storm.
A hint of admiration flashed in Leng Yueshuang's eyes; this guy's talent was truly good, and his talent in the Dao of the Sword was terrifyingly strong.
With just a little guidance from her, in just a few days, he practiced as if he had been immersed in it for many years; he was simply a Genius born for the sword.
Unfortunately, he was only in the Qi Refining Realm, and many sword moves could not yet be fully executed from his hands.
Seeing Lin Luochen immersed in his practice, Leng Yueshuang turned around and reached into the abyss to pull out the reincarnation defying fate tablet.
She always felt that this iron tablet was somehow different from before, seeming much lighter, and the patterns also had subtle discrepancies.
But Leng Yueshuang didn't suspect Lin Luochen; after all, few people in the world had seen the reincarnation defying fate tablet.
Moreover, this object had always been with her; how could there be a fake, and how could it be swapped?
This must be a divine object concealing itself, hiding its Edge.
Lin Luochen, who was secretly observing the abyss, saw this and felt a great weight lift from his heart, pretending to casually sheath his sword.
'If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known this tablet was so unfathomable, it's really well hidden!'
"Have your injuries recovered?"
Leng Yueshuang hummed in response, "How are things?"
Lin Luochen said faintly, "It's alright, they haven't found this place yet, but they should be close!"
These past two days, streams of light occasionally streaked across the sky, and flares rose, making the mountains lively.
Those Miaoyin Sect Disciples not only failed to find them but were also killed by many Yao Beasts in the mountains, suffering heavy casualties.
However, more and more Miaoyin Sect Disciples were arriving and beginning a carpet search; it was only a matter of time before they found them here.
But the current situation was already much better than in the previous life; at least they weren't spending their time being hunted.
In the previous life, because they had exposed their approximate location, even though it was very hidden, they were quickly discovered.
But now, with Lin Luochen's foresight, the two of them were quite comfortable hiding in the cave.
However, Lin Luochen showed no joy; he walked anxiously to the cave entrance, watching the sky gradually darken.
'Tonight, will the Blood Moon appear?'
'Will Gu Qinghan and the Righteous Path's reinforcements come?'
As the sky darkened, a bright moon rose into the sky and then slowly climbed higher.
When the moon was at its zenith, gentle moonlight spilled down, coating the vast world with a soft glow.
But Lin Luochen felt a chill in his heart.
'The Blood Moon didn't appear!'
'The Yao Beasts didn't riot either!'
'Gu Qinghan didn't appear either!'
Lin Luochen watched as the bright moon gradually set, and his heart also gradually sank to the bottom.
Leng Yueshuang was confused and asked nervously, "Young Master, are you alright?"
She didn't understand why he seemed to have suddenly dimmed, his eyes showing unwillingness yet also helplessness.
Lin Luochen sighed softly, revealing a helpless smile.
"I'm fine. I'll stand guard tonight; you go back and rest. It seems we'll have a tough battle ahead!"
Leng Yueshuang wanted to say something more, but seeing his unquestionable gaze, she obediently went back to sit cross-legged, though she still occasionally looked at him.
'What's wrong with this guy, after all?'
As the dawn light illuminated the earth, Lin Luochen finally gave up completely.
'I guessed correctly!'
'That Blood Moon didn't appear out of nowhere; it's related to this foolish woman, Leng Yueshuang!'
The reincarnation defying fate tablet could most likely block tracking, but this also meant Gu Qinghan couldn't find Leng Yueshuang at all.
Gu Qinghan should have also found their location through that Blood Moon, or perhaps through the changes in Leng Yueshuang's body.
Lin Luochen sighed inwardly, 'Now, it's back to the original problem.'
Now, breaking the situation was very simple.
He just needed to hit the nail on the head, and he could solve it once and for all, lying flat in the Jade Maiden Sect for the rest of his life!
'Damn heavens, you're really good to me!'
