‘Get some paintings?’

Su Changyu was slightly stunned.

He looked at Daoist Tai Hua with some curiosity.

“Master, you want me to get more? I’m afraid we might arouse the suspicion of Little Junior Brother.”

Su Changyu had thought of continuing to get Ye Ping to paint more paintings too, but if he were to take the initiative and do so, he might arouse suspicion.

“Of course. A single painting painted by Ye Ping can overwrite hundreds of years’ worth of efforts by the sect. Changyu, if our sect wants to develop, we definitely need money.”

“Putting aside everything else, pills are the basic requirement. Your little Junior Brother has to cultivate, doesn’t he? Qi Refinement Pills cost ten taels of gold each. Given his talent, how many pills do you think he needs to reach the realm of Perfected Qi Refinement?”

“We can be poor and suffer, but your little Junior Brother can’t suffer. If we end up ruining him someday, won’t it eat at your conscience?”

Daoist Tai Hua was not being hypocritical.

Indeed, they needed money for the sect to develop and also for Ye Ping’s cultivation. Ye Ping had yet to officially begin cultivating and was merely practicing swordsmanship. If Ye Ping were to really start cultivating, he would have to supplement it with pills due to his aptitude and talent.

The Qingyun Dao Sect could not afford to buy so many pills, so the only solution was to use Ye Ping to generate more money.

“That’s true. Alright, I’ll think of a solution.”

After some thought, Su Changyu felt that his words did make some sense.

“Of course, don’t be too eager. Just give him a hint at the right time. One more thing, teach him the Sword Dao well during these two months. I intend to let him participate in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.”

Daoist Tai Hua said solemnly.

“Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet?”

Su Changyu was really surprised this time.

“Master, are you confused? How can Little Junior Brother take part in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet? He might be very talented in the Sword Dao, but he hasn’t begun cultivating yet. Wouldn’t he end up embarrassing himself?”

Su Changyu was astonished.

He was fortunate enough to have taken part in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet once which basically all the elites of Qingzhou would participate in. Back then, he was just there to fill a spot, but he was lucky to have made it through to the top 500 places by fluke. However, letting Ye Ping go would be a complete disaster.

“You don’t understand. I’ll tell you about it later. In short, teach him well during this period of time. I’ve only gotten the idea to let him take part in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet. We’ll decide when the time comes whether to let him really take part or not.”

“Remember, don’t talk to your Junior Sisters and Junior Brothers about this. Just tell them that I’ve gotten back all the money that I was cheated out of. Don’t mention anything else, got it?”

Daoist Tai Hua did not explain in detail because they were reaching the sect soon.

“Okay.”

Su Changyu nodded, looking a little helpless.

He understood that Daoist Tai Hua just zealously wanted to develop the sect, which was his lifelong plan. However, Su Changyu felt that Daoist Tai Hua was being overly eager.

However, neither of them said anything. They soon returned to the Qingyun Dao Sect.

It was midnight.

At the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect.

Ye Ping sat on the ground, still staring attentively at the sword mark.

He had already comprehended the Spring Thunder Swordsmanship in an epiphany, and now, he had also comprehended the Summer Thunder Swordsmanship.

The Four Thunder Sword Techniques were elusive and profound, and they condensed the lightning of four seasons, giving rise to different sword momentums.

The sword momentum of Spring Thunder Swordsmanship was continuous.

The sword momentum of Summer Thunder Swordsmanship was ferocious and terrifying.

The sword momentum of Autumn Thunder Swordsmanship was silent.

The sword momentum of Winter Thunder Swordsmanship was full of killing intent.

At this moment, Ye Ping was already about to comprehend the Summer Thunder Swordsmanship.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn out, Ye Ping opened his eyes.

He picked up a tree branch at the side and formed a sword mark with it.

In that moment, thunder rumbled and the surrounding ancient trees began rustling.

He had completed the epiphany of the Autumn Thunder Swordsmanship sword momentum.

He condensed the sword momentum.

A random move of his would contain all the sword techniques.

At this moment, a figure appeared not far away.

Under the moonlight, Su Changyu gazed at Ye Ping quietly.

His proud and handsome face was calm, but deep down, his heart was filled with immense shame.

Although he was not very talented in the Sword Dao, he could tell that Ye Ping had already comprehended the sword momentum of the Autumn Thunder Swordsmanship.

It had only been a day.

Yet, he had comprehended the sword momentum of the Autumn Thunder Swordsmanship.

Wouldn’t he comprehend the sword intent of the Four Thunder Sword Techniques in the next couple of days?

‘I’m so sour about it.’

‘I’m so envious.’

Despite feeling upset, Su Changyu still had to walk over to Ye Ping while pretending to look calm on the surface.

“Little Junior Brother.”

Su Changyu called.

Not far away, Ye Ping snapped out of his joyful mood and looked at Su Changyu, only to reveal a look of astonishment.

“Eldest Senior Brother, what brings you here?”

Ye Ping did not expect to see Su Changyu and was a little surprised.

“I’m here to deliver something to you.”

Su Changyu walked over and placed a jade bottle in front of Ye Ping. “Little Junior Brother, this contains Qi Nourishment Pills that will nourish your body after you eat them. They’ll energize you for five days and are good for your body.”

“Qi Nourishment Pill? After taking one, will I be able to go five days without any food and rest?”

Ye Ping put the jade bottle away and looked a little curious.

“Yes.”

Su Changyu immediately nodded.

Daoist Tai Hua was indeed very good to Ye Ping. Although the money came from Ye Ping’s painting, Daoist Tai Hua did not spend a single cent on himself. He spent most of the money on Ye Ping while the other disciples got to gain some benefits from it. Su Changyu might have gotten the most advantage, but the main beneficiary was still Ye Ping.

Otherwise, Su Changyu wouldn’t have to go to the trouble of putting pressure on himself by reading the sword manuals and learning the Chuanhe Swordsmanship before he even mastered the Four Thunder Sword Techniques.

“Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother.”

Ye Ping said gratefully.

With such pills, he would be able to save an additional four hours a day.

“The Sect Leader wants me to hand this sword to you too. From now on, you will practice using this.”

Su Changyu handed the sword to Ye Ping.

“Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother.”

Ye Ping thanked him gratefully.

Su Changyu merely nodded.

After a while, Su Changyu took the initiative to speak and broke the silence.

“Little Junior Brother, has practicing swordsmanship been boring for you lately?”

“Senior Brother, it isn’t boring because I can improve everyday.”

Ye Ping shook his head.

He would really find it boring if he hadn’t been able to get an epiphany. However, he was pleased to have been able to continuously gain epiphanies.

He was telling the truth, but those words made Su Changyu upset.

‘Is this humane at all?’

Having been dealt a blow, Su Changyu stood up, wanting to get some peace.

“Eldest Senior Brother, why do you ask?”

Ye Ping was curious, wondering what Su Changyu had asked that question for.

“Nothing, I just thought that if you’re bored, I can give you another secret manual to get an epiphany.”

Su Changyu was not in the mood to talk as he had suffered a huge blow.

Secret manual?

However, Ye Ping was extremely excited after hearing that word.

‘Is he imparting the secret manual to me?’

‘He should have said so earlier.’

Ye Ping immediately became excited and said, “Senior Brother, I didn’t find it boring at first, but after you mentioned it, I realized that it does get a little boring sometimes.”

Ye Ping didn’t care about being embarrassed anymore.

Su Changyu’s sword mark made him comprehend the sword techniques immediately.

‘Is he giving me an immortal cultivation secret manual?’

‘That’d be incredible.’

After hearing Ye Ping’s words, Su Changyu stopped keeping him in suspense and simply gave a secret manual to Ye Ping.

Ye Ping grabbed it.

Using the moonlight as the source of light, he read it and was soon stunned.

The secret manual was thick and there were several ancient texts written on it.

It was written clearly on the secret manual…
