Chapter Eleven: Bai Man

The Five Kung Fu Styles: Lone Star Skill, Flaming Truth Scripture, Shock Wave Skill, Earth Emperor Art, and Extreme Wood Energy.
These five kung fu styles are detailedly explained from the early stages of Qi cultivation to the later stages of foundation building. Thus, since Qu Yi had reached the early stage of Qi cultivation, he no longer needed to go to the library to read new cultivation methods.
What Qu Yi needed to do now was to let these five kung fu styles continue to operate on their own, making the wisps of spiritual energy inside his body clearer, transforming them entirely into streams of energy, before advancing to the middle stage of Qi cultivation.
In the middle stage of Qi cultivation, these streams of spiritual energy would be gathered together one by one. If there were ten thousand streams of energy, they would be condensed into five thousand. The more effectively they could be gathered, the higher one’s cultivation level in the middle stage of Qi cultivation would be.
Inside his body, Qu Yi didn’t need to exert effort to practice the kung fu styles, as the mysterious sphere in his soul was acting on its own to assist him in his training. As a result, Qu Yi felt quite relaxed and could focus his mind on other matters.
……
The Xianyun Hall on Cloud Chasing Peak was the meeting place for the Xianyun Sect.
At that moment, a young girl with stunningly beautiful features stepped out from the back door of the hall. She appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slender figure, skin as white as snow, large eyes like waves, long silky hair flowing down her shoulders, and a plain green dress covering her delicate and alluring figure. She moved gracefully, exuding a delicate fragrance, looking truly beautiful.
But at that moment, she frowned slightly, seemingly unwell.
As soon as the girl appeared in the hall, De Quan, who had just finished practicing in a side room, noticed her immediately and floated inside.
“Sister, have you felt any better?” De Quan asked, looking at her with joy and concern in his eyes.
The girl opened her small mouth slightly, her cherry-red lips parting as she smiled and said, “Fourth Brother, I heard Father brought another disciple from outside. I want to go see him.”
De Quan trembled slightly upon hearing this. He knew that this sister had a strange energy within her, preventing her from cultivating true cultivation. Moreover, their master had to regularly infuse her with true energy to help suppress this strange energy, so she couldn’t go out for most of the year.
Now that she had come out and clearly expressed her desire to see Qu Yi, De Quan grew worried.
Not wanting to upset this poor sister, he immediately led the way out of the Xianyun Hall.
As soon as the two left the hall, the sister suddenly raised her hand and waved in the air. Immediately, a gurgling sound came from the sky, and then a huge white bird flew down.
It was actually a Golden Crown Heron, a monstrous beast in the middle stage of foundation building.

Huai Qing had only one daughter, who was born with a strange illness that prevented her from practicing cultivation. To make it easier for her to travel, he captured a demonic beast for her to use as a means of transportation.
“Fourth Senior Brother, fly ahead. Bai Lu and I will follow you,” came the girl’s clear voice.
De Quan nodded, immediately flew into the air, and then headed toward Tingfeng Residence to find Qu Yi.
The girl sat on the golden-crowned heron, patted its head, and then saw it take off lightly, carrying her with it.
……
“Fifth Junior Brother, come out quickly! Sister Bai Man is here to see you!”
In mid-air, De Quan called out anxiously.
Qu Yi was still immersed in the pleasure of his rapid cultivation progress, fantasizing about breaking rivers with a single palm strike and shaking mountains with a single footstep. Suddenly, he heard a loud shout, shook his head, and came back to his senses.
“Oh, Fourth Senior Brother, you’re here. I’m coming out now.” Qu Yi was most familiar with De Quan and recognized his voice immediately, responding right away.
The door of Tingfeng Residence was always open, never closed. On the main peak of this great cultivation sect, there were no thieves. As soon as Qu Yi finished speaking, he had already flown to the door.
“Ah!” Qu Yi screamed.
A five-meter-long golden-crowned heron was sticking its head through the door, right in Qu Yi’s path. Qu Yi was flung aside with a terrified cry.
Coo!
The golden-crowned heron stood upright, crowing triumphantly.
De Quan flew into the room, patted Qu Yi on the chest to help him catch his breath, and then dragged him out.
“Giggle!” A melodious laugh like that of a nightingale came from the girl Bai Man.
Seeing Qu Yi get flung aside, Bai Man’s mood immediately brightened. She examined him carefully.
De Quan, seeing Qu Yi’s dazed expression, knew he had been captivated by Bai Man’s beauty. He tapped him on the head.
“Junior Brother, this is Sister Bai Man. She’s the master’s daughter. Say hello to her,” De Quan said with a smile.
“Ah!” Qu Yi was shocked. He realized now that this beautiful and ethereal girl was actually the master’s daughter.
Qu Yi immediately smiled and introduced himself, “Sister Bai Man, I’m Qu Yi. Twenty days ago, the master brought me into the sect.”
Bai Man narrowed her eyes and stared at him for a long time, making Qu Yi’s delicate face turn red. Then she smiled and said, “Little junior brother, Father told me about you, so I came to see you right away. Am I a good sister?”
Hearing this, De Quan trembled silently.

Upon hearing this, Qu Yi thought that Bai Man truly liked him and immediately replied, “Yes, senior sister. Not only are you beautiful, but you also have a great personality.”
De Quan lowered his head, rolling his eyes and constantly sending signals at Qu Yi, looking extremely anxious.
Hearing Qu Yi’s reply, Bai Man chuckled and said right away, “Young junior brother, come with me to a place. My White Egret found a cave on Chase Cloud Peak. I’ll take you in to take a look.”
Qu Yi was overjoyed at this. Having been born in the isolated Linshan Village since childhood, he had never seen such a beautiful girl before. Hearing her invitation, he hesitated not at all and immediately agreed.
“Yes, senior sister!”
De Quan’s eyes were almost teary, but he noticed that Qu Yi’s gaze remained fixed on Bai Man. Anxious yet helpless to intervene, otherwise Bai Man would tease him.
Since she couldn’t cultivate, Bai Man had always enjoyed teasing the disciples on Chase Cloud Peak. Relying on the Golden Crown Egret, a mid-stage Foundation Establishment demon beast, she made it impossible for the other disciples to resist, leaving them suffering greatly each time.
This time, as soon as De Quan heard Bai Man’s words, he knew she wanted to scare Qu Yi. In the library, thanks to Qu Yi’s kind help, De Quan had grown to like him deeply. Naturally, he wanted to warn Qu Yi, but since Qu Yi was already captivated by beauty, he couldn’t blame himself.
Bai Man winked at De Quan, then cheerfully had Qu Yi climb onto the Golden Crown Egret’s back, and they flew away together.
De Quan sighed repeatedly, watching the Golden Crown Egret disappear into the sky, shaking his head and praying that Qu Yi wouldn’t suffer too much.
……
In the air.
Qu Yi was in front, smelling the delicate fragrance coming from Bai Man behind him. He couldn’t even spare a glance at the magnificent scenery below. He narrowed his eyes and took deep breaths, as if trying to absorb all the scent into his body.
Although Bai Man had no magical powers, having spent time in the Immortal Cloud Sect, she had sharp eyesight. Seeing Qu Yi’s behavior, she couldn’t help but laugh in anger.
“Young junior brother, does the scent on my body smell good?” Bai Man asked with a smile.
“It smells good, really good… Ah, senior sister!” Qu Yi panicked. Being caught being impolite, he was anxious and wanted to jump down.
Bai Man held onto Qu Yi and laughed, “Young junior brother, you’re really interesting.”
With his left hand held, Qu Yi felt a comfortable softness, causing his heart to tremble. He was so nervous he could hardly breathe.

“Senior sister, I… I’ve already sat down. Could you let go of my hand?” Qu Yi’s hand was held tightly. Though he thought he would suffocate if kept like this, he still made the request. Seeing Qu Yi’s red neck, Bai Man realized that holding his hand any longer might kill him, so she smiled and released it.
“By the way, senior sister, what level of cultivation have you reached now?” After taking a deep breath to calm himself, Qu Yi asked.
Bai Man’s face paled instantly. That question touched a painful spot for her. Since birth, she had had a strange energy within her body—her father called it the “Five Elements Evil Spirit.” She was unable to cultivate. To keep her alive, her father had to regularly infuse her body with vital energy so that the “Five Elements Evil Spirit” could absorb it, preventing it from causing chaos. But once the vital energy entered her body and was absorbed by the spirit, it grew stronger, so her father had to infuse more and more energy each time.
At present, the energy of the Five Elements Evil Spirit was already close to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm. In a few more years, when Huai Qing, who was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, could no longer suppress it, Bai Man’s life would come to an end.
Bang!
Angrily, Bai Man smacked Qu Yi on the forehead and snapped, “I can’t cultivate!”
Qu Yi felt a pain in his head. As he turned around, he saw Bai Man’s expression darken, realizing he might have asked a foolish question.
“Senior sister, I’m sorry. I didn’t know your situation. Please don’t blame me, okay?” Qu Yi touched his head and pleaded earnestly.
Bai Man, who had been pouting, suddenly laughed and said, “Young junior brother, you’re really interesting. It’s okay. If you can’t cultivate, then just don’t. In the future, when you achieve success in cultivation, you can protect me.”
Qu Yi was shocked. He suddenly stood up on Lü’s back and shouted, “Okay, senior sister. I’ll protect you from now on.”
Bai Man stared at Qu Yi in astonishment. She didn’t expect him to take it seriously. She was both surprised and touched.
Coo!
After a moment of silence, the Golden Crowned Egret let out a loud cry.
It had arrived at the newly discovered cave.
The cave was located on the cliffs of Zuiyun Peak. The entrance was only two meters wide, and claw marks could be clearly seen around it. Apparently, when the Golden Crowned Egret flew to the entrance, it accidentally scratched the rock, breaking through it and revealing the cave.
The Golden Crowned Egret led the two of them to the cave entrance.
“Junior brother, go in first. I’ll follow behind you,” Bai Man said gracefully, smiling.

Qu Yi didn’t overthink it and immediately went into the cave as instructed, then took out a night pearl to light the way.
When Bai Man saw Qu Yi enter the cave, a strange smile appeared on her lips, as if she had succeeded in her scheme.
