My Virtual Immortal Girlfriend Came to Life from a Mobile Game-Chapter 69 – Is Chen Huaian the Grand Elder?

Half a day ago—

"Disciple Qingran, greets the Sect Master!"

Li Qingran bowed gracefully to Su Qinian.

She had passed all the tests and assessments of the Sword Pavilion and successfully joined it.

It was only then she realized that, in order to seize Spirit Stones, all four Elders of the Sword Pavilion had been dispatched. The one who flew with her was the First Senior Sister of the Sword Pavilion, Su Qinian's personal disciple—Yue Qianchi, the Black Tortoise Sword.

The Sword Pavilion had few disciples, and the sect's buildings were dilapidated and shabby, exuding an air of poverty.

Along the way, she saw only about a hundred disciples, and they all seemed a bit eccentric.

"Hahaha, Qingran, no need to be formal. Now that you're here at the Sword Pavilion, we're family," Su Qinian said with a smile, stroking his beard as he led Li Qingran to the sect's main square. "Earlier, I had to deceive you by saying this was the Azure Cloud Sect. There were too many eyes watching, and we had just pulled off a big heist. We couldn't afford to be exposed, so we had no choice."

Li Qingran felt that robbery wasn't the right path, and although the Sword Pavilion hadn't harmed anyone, it was still wrong. But when she thought that this might be her Master's sect, her minor conflicts vanished.

She even began to understand Su Qinian a little. As a prestigious sect known for its sword cultivation, if there were other options, the Pavilion Master wouldn't resort to robbery. Clearly, they were desperate.

This sort of thing would probably only happen once.

Once the Sword Pavilion got through this crisis, such situations wouldn't occur again.

But then she heard the short and chubby Elder Yuan Sanshi say, "Pavilion Master, we gained quite a lot this time, over a hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, enough to last us for a while. Who shall we rob next?"

Without hesitation, Su Qinian replied, "In a month, at the Central State Secret Realm, we'll strike again! How about it?"

The Elders were overjoyed and clasped their hands in salute, "Pavilion Master is wise!"

Li Qingran: "..."

Sorry, she took back what she just thought.

Since they had brought Li Qingran back, they had to take responsibility for her. Su Qinian had the Elders line up and introduced them one by one:

"Qingran, we have six main peaks in the Sword Pavilion.

First is my Black Tortoise Peak, where we cultivate the Black Tortoise Sword Intent, which can split rocks and open mountains, a heavy sword style.

Elder Yuan's Soaring Cloud Peak, known for the First Stance Sword, its aura overwhelming mountains and rivers; Elder Li's Hidden Sword Peak, where the art of nurturing and hiding the sword is practiced, the sword rarely drawn, but when it is, it must taste blood; Elder Wang's Frostfall Cliff, where the world's first Frost Sword is cultivated, its sword intent piercing to the bone, snow flying across the mountains; Elder Wu's Heartless Peak, where the Heartless Sword Intent is honed, its blade dissolving bones, its intent captivating souls.

Besides these, there is the sixth peak, Ten Thousand Swords Peak. However, none of us practice the unparalleled sword intent there. It only has a stone tablet for you to comprehend, with no Elder to guide you. Choose wisely."

Seeing Li Qingran's dazed expression, Su Qinian stroked his beard and suggested:

"You have a single Water Spiritual Root, and your Dantian is of Superior Grade, a rare cultivation genius seen once in a millennium. I recommend you cultivate the Frost Sword and join Elder Wang's peak. His Ice Soul Sword Technique complements your Water Spiritual Root, allowing you to progress rapidly."

"Additionally, you must keep your Superior Grade Dantian a secret and not tell anyone. Within the Sword Pavilion, I and the Elders, as well as your senior brothers and sisters, can protect you, but outside, people's hearts are unpredictable, and danger may arise!"

"Qingran will remember," Li Qingran responded, bowing.

Before entering the Sword Pavilion, during the talent assessment, she was worried that her Superior Grade Dantian would cause trouble if discovered.

Unexpectedly, the Pavilion Master and the Elders were only surprised for a few seconds.

Later, through their conversations, she learned that there were over thirty disciples in the Sword Pavilion with graded Dantians. First Senior Sister Yue Qianchi had a second-grade Dantian. Her Superior Grade Dantian was indeed rare, but not enough to cause a stir in the Sword Pavilion.

The Sword Pavilion seemed unimpressive because it didn't compete.

It appeared poor, but hid its true strength.

Like a sword in its sheath.

Perhaps the only thing that could stir the emotions of these sword cultivators was running out of money.

Despite the Pavilion Master's excellent recommendation and the guidance of an Elder, Li Qingran hadn't forgotten her goal—to become a Healing Cultivator.

To become a Healing Cultivator, the sword couldn't be her main focus.

So she couldn't join any peak with an Elder.

She didn't want to have conflicts with an Elder over differing opinions in the future.

Thus, she bowed and said, "Disciple wishes to go to the sixth peak."

Su Qinian smiled helplessly at Li Qingran's choice, "You're still thinking of becoming a Pill Cultivator or Healing Cultivator?"

Li Qingran lowered her head, silent.

"Very well, then you may go to the sixth peak."

Su Qinian didn't insist, only advising:

"Judging by your perfectly compatible Inner Strength, you likely already have a Master, so I'm not worried about you lacking a Mental Technique. Although our Sword Pavilion focuses on sword cultivation, its foundation is deeper than any sect in the Azure Cloud Realm. Don't be fooled by the sparse population and dilapidated peaks. Once you enter the Scripture Repository, you'll discover a whole new world."

Li Qingran didn't think the Pavilion Master was boasting.

Because she heard absolute confidence and arrogance in his words.

Thus, the regret of not entering the Spiritual Insight Valley diminished greatly.

Moreover, this place might really be related to her Master, right?

Thinking of this, Li Qingran couldn't help but ask.

"Sect Master, Qingran dares to ask, do you know a senior with the surname Chen?"

"Surname Chen? A sword cultivator?" Su Qinian raised an eyebrow.

"Yes."

"Ah, hahaha..." Su Qinian looked at Li Qingran's expectant eyes, his eyes twinkling as he fibbed, "Yes, I know him. Elder Chen is our Sword Pavilion's Grand Elder, but he's no longer here. I don't know where he is, probably off somewhere slaying demons for fun!"

"I see!" A hint of joy appeared in Li Qingran's heart.

So this really was the sect her Master had once been part of!

No wonder they all flew on swords in the same style.

"Well, cultivate diligently, and when Elder Chen returns, I'll introduce you," Su Qinian said, shaking his head with a smile. "Elder Chen is very strict with disciples. He won't meet those without some strength, so you must improve your cultivation realm."

"Yes! Disciple will remember!" Li Qingran bowed again, a bright smile on her face.

"Alright, go with your senior sister to choose a Cave Dwelling."

Su Qinian gave Yue Qianchi a look.

Yue Qianchi understood and immediately led Li Qingran away.

...

"Pavilion Master, do we really have a Grand Elder surnamed Chen in the Sword Pavilion?"

"Not at all!"

"Then why did you..."

"This girl has a Superior Grade Dantian and a single Water Spiritual Root. If she seriously cultivates the sword, her future is limitless. Her eagerness to ask about that Chen sword cultivator must be because he is her Master who bestowed her Water-based Mental Technique. For some reason, he left her, so I said that on purpose."

Su Qinian stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the vast sea of clouds below the mountain gate, his eyes distant:

"Would you be willing to see such a genius root herself in Healing or Pill Cultivation, which have no future?

Now is a time of great contention, not a prosperous era. The Purple Star is dim, and a calamity is approaching. Only the sword at your waist can protect you. Healing and Pill Cultivation may seem promising, but when pushed to the limit, won't they just tear down your pharmacy and kick over your pill furnace, leaving you helpless? I cherish talent."

The Elders exchanged glances, suddenly realizing, and bowed their heads in respect:

"Pavilion Master is wise!"
