CHAPTER 114: 093 WHAT IS THE PATH OF CULTIVATION WITH COMPANIONS LIKE (TWO-IN-ONE)_2

This... feels quite nice.

Being protected, and I won’t embarrass Xu Chang’an.

But...

Yun Qian furrowed her brows a little, thinking there’s still a major obstacle—she might not be able to bear seeing Xu Chang’an get hurt.

"Miss reminded me." Xu Chang’an blinked, pondered for a moment, and then said in surprise, "Healing System cultivators feel really nice, quite suitable for you."

Thinking about Miss Yun like a little angel following him with a small staff to heal him...

It’s quite interesting.

Moreover, if she’s in the Healing System herself, she won’t have to fear getting hurt. Coupled with the fact that medicine and poison are inseparable on Muyu Peak, physicians aren’t entirely without self-defense capability. At least, Xu Chang’an had browsed through the combat dossiers in the Steward Hall and thought that in the early stages of cultivation, using poison is more effective than using a sword.

"Suitable for me?" Yun Qian heard this, remained silent for a while, and then remembering Wen Li, she said, "What about Sword Dance?"

She also had an interest in Sword Dance.

"You should be able to learn it? Isn’t Senior Wen capable of everything?" Xu Chang’an shook his head, then helplessly said, "I was just saying casually, there are Three Thousand Great Dao in the world, you choose whichever path is suitable, it’s not something you can figure out just by thinking about it."

Yun Qian hasn’t even started Qi Cultivation and Breathing yet, she hasn’t even seen what Spiritual Qi looks like, thinking about the future path seems a bit inappropriate.

But it’s not too ambitious, after all, apart from relaxing before cultivation, appropriately dreaming about the future is quite normal.

Besides, upon careful thought, Xu Chang’an feels that being a healer is just that.

Xu Chang’an doesn’t believe Yun Qian needs to follow him all the time because safety is the most important, and most Healing System cultivators still need to be in the midst of conflicts, making the safest place still in logistics.

"Miss, not everyone has Healing System Spiritual Power, so thinking about these things now is a bit premature, better to focus on Qi Cultivation first." Xu Chang’an said.

Qi Cultivation is the process before entering the Open Source Realm, expanding the Elixir Field, Spiritual Power refining the whole body, just like him, needing to reach the Open Source Realm before choosing a future path. In the Qi Refining Realm... just learn any self-defense method, that’s enough.

"I know, I was just asking." After chatting with Xu Chang’an, Yun Qian clearly realized that the first hurdle in front of her is... to first learn to endure the fact that Xu Chang’an might get hurt.

Before, she could choose not to look.

But if they go out together and Xu Chang’an gets hurt, she’ll have to watch it closely, at that time... Yun Qian thinks she definitely wouldn’t be able to endure it.

Suddenly remembering something, Yun Qian stared at Xu Chang’an and said, "Can you become a healer... a physician?"

Yun Qian’s thinking is very simple, if Xu Chang’an works in the back doing healing, then he shouldn’t get hurt, and... healing her itself can be considered protecting her.

"?"

With Yun Qian’s words, Xu Chang’an imagined himself instead of the little angel swinging a staff to heal, and his eyes twitched.

The key is, he’s of the Water Attribute, the future route after the Open Source Realm isn’t set, perhaps there’s really this path he can take.

However, Xu Chang’an didn’t brush aside Yun Qian, but rather thought seriously, then shook his head, saying, "I can’t do such a thing."

"Mm." Yun Qian saw Xu Chang’an’s firm eyes, said nothing, just held his hand, traced his palm’s lines with her nails, pondered for a moment, then said, "I don’t understand cultivation, later... you choose my path."

"It’s always about suitability, maybe Miss just suits learning Inner Realm techniques, playing chess and drinking every day isn’t bad either." Xu Chang’an gently smiled, thinking if it really doesn’t work, he can still teach Miss Yun to farm.

The topic of future paths is too grand for Xu Chang’an, aside from knowing he absolutely won’t leave Yun Qian, everything else... is almost a blank.

Oh.

He definitely won’t be a healer.

Healing System?

If possible, he wouldn’t mind learning a few healing Secret Techniques to increase tolerance and fully utilize his Water Attribute talent, but he won’t take it as a primary road.

After all, if healing is needed, it means the lady he wants to protect has already been hurt.

Xu Chang’an doesn’t want to heal the lady after she’s hurt, so he won’t choose to go into logistics, he wants to block all harm, preventing it from reaching Miss Yun.

This is the same reason he initially refused to go garden farming in the Hundred Herbs Garden.

Farming can’t protect Miss Yun.

As for whether Yun Qian would feel heartache seeing him hurt, that’s not within Xu Chang’an’s considerations, he clearly knows he’s a very selfish and fickle person.

"..."

Here, Yun Qian held Xu Chang’an’s hand, thinking usually, this hand either holds a kitchen knife or a sword.

It used to have calluses, but since Xu Chang’an entered Open Source, regenerated anew, these calluses have disappeared, now Xu Chang’an’s hand is very solid, making Yun Qian feel very assured.

She gently squeezed Xu Chang’an’s fingers, asking, "Will you learn the sword in the future?"

"To be honest, I’m not too sure either." Xu Chang’an helplessly said, "Learning the sword in the Qi Refining Realm was because Mr. Sword Hall said the Energy Storage Technique is easy to master quickly, and Sword Qi is gentler than Blade Qi, nurturing Sword Qi in the meridians isn’t easy to harm oneself, so I use the sword."

Now that he’s awakened the Water Attribute talent, whether he’ll continue learning the sword in the future is unclear to Xu Chang’an.

If the talent is sufficient, cultivating talismans feels not bad too.

This isn’t his determination faltering, just that for him, whichever can make him stronger, whichever can best protect Yun Qian, that’s the one he’ll learn.

Thinking about it, Xu Chang’an still said, "However, currently the only thing I have a foundation in is swordsmanship and the Sword Step Body Technique that accompanies it."

As a Huaxia person, perhaps deep down there’s a unique sentiment towards swords.

"Is the sword easy to learn?" Yun Qian asked.

"Miss, you’re asking the right person." Xu Chang’an, gripping Yun Qian’s hand in return, pondering over a year of information gleaned from the Steward Hall, said, "The sword is indeed hard to learn."

Pure Sword Dao inheritance is mostly broken.

Mr. Sword Hall in the Sword Hall had also told Xu Chang’an that it seems sword cultivators have been abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, the difficulty of cultivation compared to other methods, is not just a bit strenuous.

Therefore, there was an Immortal Sword in the Profound Sword Bureau untouched for a thousand years because no qualified talent appeared.

So, only after Wen Li, as a sword cultivator, shone brilliantly did such popularity arise.

Nowadays, in cultivating Sword Dao, reaching high depths, it’s practically teaching oneself, tough to find senior guidance, hence people say the path of Sword Dao is difficult.

"But the difficulty of the Sword Cultivator path has nothing to do with me." Xu Chang’an laughed.

What’s his cultivation?

The path Chaoyun Sect predecessors have paved is enough for him to learn.

People need to be grounded.

"It’s still about what suits my cultivation at the time." Xu Chang’an said.

"I understand." Yun Qian looked at Xu Chang’an’s relieved expression, leaned against his shoulder, "If you hope it’s easy, then it surely will be easy."

Vice versa too.

"Wishful thinking?" Xu Chang’an shook his head, seeing Yun Qian seems quite interested in the sword, feeling things might not be good, promptly halted the discussion on cultivation.

——

Xu Chang’an rubbed his hands warm, placed them on Yun Qian’s lower abdomen, said, "Post-meal chat is about done, digestion is complete."

"Can you feel?" Yun Qian yawned, fatigue creeping onto her brow, soon a soft aura reappeared on her.

"Can’t feel a thing." Xu Chang’an blinked, naturally said, "I just wanted to do so."

After eating, Yun Qian’s little belly is soft and squishy, feels nice to the touch.

"Would you like more wine?" Xu Chang’an asked.

"Yes." Yun Qian thought for a moment, then said, "Skipping it is okay too."

She’s about to succumb to drowsiness.
