Based on Liu Daoyuan's level of cultivation, if he were to carefully examine Lu Beixue, he would certainly discover that her injuries were external, not the result of an internal deviation. However, Liu Daoyuan's attention was entirely focused on Li Qinghai, and others were insignifit to him. After all, Li Qinghai had cultivated the Five Element Loy Scroll!

  Liu Daoyuan fervently hoped that Li Qinghai wouldn't fall like other disciples who practiced the Loy Scroll. This wasn't just because he admired Li Qinghai but also for the sake of the sect's development. Over the past millennium, the sect's talents had dwihe Azure Cloud Sect, ohe leader of the te sects, had now fallen to the st pce among them. If this tihey would have no share in the distribution of resources from secret realms iure.

  Therefore, if Li Qinghai, who had cultivated the Loy Scroll, could survive, he would undoubtedly possess formidable strength, enough to sweep away his peers. By then, who would dare to uimate the Azure Cloud Sect?!

  Liu Daoyuan's thoughts ran far, and the more he thought, the more excited he became. After all, if the Azure Cloud Sect could bee the leader of the te sects, as the sect master, he would stand out wherever he went, flying on his sword with pride and vigor.

  Li Qinghai noticed Liu Daoyuan staring at him ily, which made him feel uneasy. No way? Could this senior have some peculiar preference? Although I, Li Qinghai, am a rare handsome young man, my orientation is quite normal! I definitely won't accept any hidden rules!

  Feeling unfortable, Li Qinghai interrupted Liu Daoyuan's thoughts. "Senior?!"

  "Hmm!" Liu Daoyuan snapped back to reality, nodding slightly at Li Qinghai with satisfa. "Not bad, you've reached the sed level of Qi Refining, officially stepping onto the path of cultivation. The road ahead is destio be full of obstacles, so you must remain grounded, avoid impatience, and always be aware of your safety."

  "Thank you for yuidance, senior. I will remember it well," Li Qinghai replied with a stiff smile.

  Then, with a thought, Liu Daoyuan summoned a small ste bag from his waist, which floated steadily in front of Li Qinghai. Liu Daoyuan smiled kindly, "I wao give you some treasures, but unfortunately, your level is too low, and most of my treasures would be useless to you. In this ste bag, there are ten thousand spirit stones. Use them to purchase whatever you need."

  "Th-thank you, senior..." Li Qinghai's voice trembled; he was extremely frightened. Not only did he care about him, reminding him to be cautious, but now he was giving him a gift of ten thousand spirit stones! All these signs indicated that this senior really had a fondness for men! What should I do? I'm just a itiful, and helpless little Qi Refining cultivator, uo escape the clutches of such a powerful figure.

  Liu Daoyuan saw Li Qinghai's body trembling slightly, thinking he was excited and thrilled at the sight of the rge sum of spirit stones. After all, he was just a small cultivator who hadn't seen much of the world and had a long way to grow. For someoh weak strength and an unstable Dao heart, saying more would be like pying music to a cow.

  Liu Daoyuan, losing i, gave a brief reminder, "Alright, don't wander around for a while. Stay in your room and cultivate well." With that, he flicked his sleeve and gracefully departed.

  Liu Yaoyao had reported to Liu Daoyuan about Li Qinghai's trip to the Monster Beast Mountain Range. So, to prevent Li Qinghai from running off again, Liu Daoyuan had to issue a strict order.

  Watg Liu Daoyuan leave, Li Qinghai let out a long sigh of relief. Finally, he was gone. But it seemed like this senior fot to take his child with him. Looking at Liu Yaoyao, Li Qinghai thought she was a very cute little Lolita. He had no ulterior motives towards little girls; instead, they made him quite anxious because he was most afraid of children g.

  Now, this six or seven-year-old girl was left on such a high mountain by an adult, probably very scared. To calm her down, Li Qinghai pyed the role of a warm-hearted big brother aly forted her. "Don't be afraid. I have a friend who fly on a sword. I'll ask him to take you down and send you home."

  Liu Yaoyao blinked her big eyes, then lightly patted the small ste bag at her waist, and a small, exquisite Spiritual Sword flew out. With a small haure, the sword spun around her under her trol.

  Li Qinghai's eyes widened in shock. Lu Beixue also gaped in astonishment. The se before them shattered their worldview. Such a young girl was actually a more powerful cultivator than they were.

  "Little... little girl, what is your cultivation level?" Li Qinghai asked.

  "Um, te Foundatioablishment," Liu Yaoyao replied, then added, "Don't call me little girl. I have a name. Call me Liu Yaoyao!"

  "..."

  "..."

  Li Qinghai and Lu Beixue fell silent. It was unbelievable. Such a young child was already at the te Foundatioablishment stage. This world was too crazy! Looking at themselves, they felt like plete failures.

  Liu Yaoyao g the two, curious. "Why are you two hugging? Are you dual cultivation Dao panions?"

  Lu Beixue gently pushed Li Qinghai away and quickly stepped out of his embrace. Li Qinghai coughed twice to ease the awkwardness. Liu Yaoyao didn't uand the strange behaviors of adults and didn't bother to figure it out.

  "Are you going baow? I give you a ride," Liu Yaoyao offered.

  "Alright, thank you, Dao panion Yaoyao," Li Qinghai replied stiffly. After all, having a child take him home was quite embarrassing.

  Liu Yaoyao then took out another flying sword. This one was slightly longer, enough for two people to ride. "You two ride this flying sword."

  Lu Beixue g Li Qinghai. Li Qinghai gestured for her to go first. Lu Beixue gracefully stepped onto the sword, and Li Qinghai followed, standing behihe sword then soared into the sky, with Liu Yaoyao leading the way.

  After a while, the flying sword nded outside the Green Bamboo Residence. Li Qinghai stepped off the sword, paused, and turo Liu Yaoyao. "How did you know I live at the Green Bamboo Residence?"

  "Ah?" Liu Yaoyao stammered, unsure how to respond. She couldn't possibly say she'd been spying on him for days. Ign the question, she looked at Lu Beixue to ge the subject. "Where do you live?"

  "Falling Snow Residence."

  "Alright, let's go."

  Liu Yaoyao quickly took Lu Beixue away. Watg Liu Yaoyao leave, Li Qinghai pondered. "This little kid is very suspicious!"
