Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

The next morning, Luo Yan lay on the bed with a vacant look in his eyes.

Yuan Yang was still intact, only he’d spent the entire night pressing down his "gun."

Miss Shi must have truly been starved for affection, unwilling to enter meditative concentration; she also spent the whole night clinging to his embrace, refusing to leave.

She would sometimes cry and shed tears, looking despondent; sometimes she would actively seek kisses, hugging and cuddling as if she were split in spirit.

Luo Yan had no choice but to be tender with her at times, softly comforting her; other times he’d half-heartedly respond to her advances... "Half-heartedly" might be too strong a term, as if the roles of male and female could easily reverse, but it was indeed the case.

Because it seemed Miss Shi had thrown caution to the wind, presenting herself as ready for the plucking, intending to give her all to Luo Yan.

If you dare to take it, I’ll dare to give!

Luo Yan truly didn’t dare... Even if one were to set aside matters of moral responsibility, one had to consider that both the Kunlun Mirror and the Green Duckweed Sword were watching!

I’m a spy, not an actor, why should I perform live for you?

If something were indeed about to happen in the future, he would first have to throw the Green Duckweed Sword out of the room and then make the Kunlun Mirror transform and roll out as well—of course, right now he definitely couldn’t take out the mirror or draw the sword in front of Shi Liuli, so nothing could happen.

Fortunately, Shi Liuli was somewhat clueless about this, not even understanding the act of disrobing and undressing, and ended up kissing Luo Yan so shyly that she left herself breathless. In the end, she fell asleep nestled against him.

Luo Yan also held her without daring to move, for fear of waking her and continuing the lingering embrace, he could only silently maintain the meditative posture, repeatedly using the technique of breathing and Qi Refinement to perform the Grand Circulation while also repeatedly suppressing the rising thoughts and his "gun."

Just like that, breathing and Qi Refinement took place throughout the entire night, and his cultivation level actually improved slightly, which was outrageous.

Who says women only hinder the speed of cultivation?

The next morning, after Shi Liuli got out of bed and changed clothes, leaving the house, Luo Yan finally carefully opened his eyes and then slumped back onto the bed in exhaustion.

I’m tired, and I’ve grown stronger, but is all this worth it?

"Has my husband awoken?" Shi Liuli entered, carrying a small bowl, "I made you breakfast."

When she said this, she still had her usual calm and composed demeanor, starkly different from the energetic young girl she used to be.

But compared to the time just after Elder Shi Ding’s death, when she would often be dazed or silent, she was now quite more humanlike.

"I made some porridge." She came over to Luo Yan’s bedside and gently stirred it with a spoon, "Want a taste?"

Luo Yan was not embarrassed at all—with his own wife, what was there to be polite about? So he leaned forward and took a sip:

"It’s really fresh, did you add scallops and dried shrimp?"

"Wrong, I added mushrooms." Shi Liuli shook her head, intending to continue feeding him, but Luo Yan took the bowl from her:

"Let me do it myself."

As he sipped the porridge in small mouthfuls, he appreciated Shi Liuli’s virtuousness and suddenly thought of Xu Yinglian.

Junior Sister Xu, learn a thing or two! See how Miss Shi is as a wife?

Of course, he only dared to think this in his mind.

If there ever actually came a day, he would probably be so frightened he’d wet himself and flee outright.

After Luo Yan finished his porridge, the bowl and spoon were taken by Shi Liuli, who cleaned them with a spell and put them away, and then he heard her say:

"This afternoon I plan to go to Fanghu Market to purchase materials for sword casting, can my husband accompany me?"

"Of course." Seeing Miss Shi in better spirits, Luo Yan naturally wouldn’t refuse her, and he answered with a smile.

In the afternoon, the two visited Fanghu Market for several hours, with Shi Liuli holding onto Luo Yan’s arm the whole time, bargaining with various material vendors.

"Eh, Sister Liuli?" A voice suddenly called out from behind.

The two turned around, only to see Junior Sister Bi Lian from the Divine Elixir Pavilion, browsing the market with a few other junior sisters.

"Junior Sister Bi Lian," Shi Liuli nodded slightly, "I’m here to purchase some ores."

"And I’ve come to buy spiritual medicine," Bi Lian and Luo Yan nodded with a smile as a form of greeting and then turned to look at Shi Liuli, "Junior Sister, after your marriage, you seem to carry a different aura than before."

"Is that so," Shi Liuli also smiled, without offering much of an explanation.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they bid each other farewell and left.

Turning to her junior sisters, Bi Lian sighed and said:

"Though she has lost her father recently, to have a good husband by her side is another matter. I’m not sure if Junior Sister Liuli is more fortunate or unfortunate."

"It seems more like good fortune," one of the junior sisters blurted out, "Elder Shi Ding doesn’t have a Second Grade Golden Core. How could his future potential compare to that of Master Jingyun, which is beyond measure?"

"Stop making such comparisons!" Bi Lian quickly scolded her, "Is this a matter that can be mentioned so casually? If Master Jingyun hears of this, don’t blame me for not considering the feelings of our fellow sect members!"

Realizing her faux pas, the junior sister hastily tried to rectify,

"Good sister, my words were improperly chosen. It was not my intention. I merely admire Master Jingyun for his achievements at such a young age. I heard that when he first sought entry, there wasn’t even an elder willing to take him in. It was only after Junior Sister Liuli talked to him that Elder Shi Ding noticed him and took him under his wing at the Heavenly Craft Workshop."

"I’m just a bit envious that I didn’t get the chance to attend various classes and bump into Master Jingyun. Maybe he would be with our Divine Elixir Pavilion now!"

"Wow, I can’t believe you’re harboring thoughts about a married man!" Bi Lian teased with a chuckle, "You’re such a flirt!"

"Exactly!" another junior sister chimed in to support, "Even if he joined our Divine Elixir Pavilion, Master Jingyun would have eyes only for our Junior Sister Bi Lian. Don’t you all agree?"

Hearing this, Bi Lian wouldn’t let it rest and they all began to squabble, though deep down she also sighed to herself.

Leaving aside the matter of Elder Shi Ding, Shi Liuli truly was fortunate—Who wouldn’t want a husband like Master Jingyun?

Among the young generation of righteous cultivators, probably only Phoenix Immortal Xu Yinglian, who was wed to Kunlun’s Changgeng True Person, could compare to Shi Liuli in this regard.

Thinking of everyone’s idol, Zhang Tian, Bi Lian was suddenly inspired to blurt out:

"What do you all think? Between Master Jingyun and Kunlun’s Changgeng True Person, who is better?"

The junior sisters exchanged glances, and after a long pause, someone spoke up:

"That’s hard to compare. Changgeng True Person is a First Grade Golden Core! That’s one rank higher than Master Jingyun!"

"I mean in terms of personality," Bi Lian quickly clarified, "As male cultivators... you know what I mean."

After pondering for a moment, the junior sisters individually said:

"Master Jingyun."

"Master Jingyun, I guess?"

"I would choose Master Jingyun too."

"Indeed," Bi Lian mused, "After all, Master Jingyun is one of us from Penglai..."

"It’s not for that reason," a junior sister said with a smile, "From the very beginning, Changgeng True Person was surrounded by a halo of countless talents. Not only did he become a disciple of the Sect Leader, but he also had countless sect members looking up to him. His demeanor, although gentle, has always been so lofty that he feels unapproachable, someone you can only look up to from afar."

"Master Jingyun is different. His initial status was not much different from ours, and it was through relentless effort from mediocrity that he rose. If I had to choose, I would naturally prefer a story like his..."

The other junior sisters all voiced their agreement, and Bi Lian couldn’t help but express her own admiration:

"Now that you mention it, I also find it quite incredible."

"Both are newly emerged Golden Core True Persons with limitless prospects, yet have such distinct rising experiences, and both have also taken Daoist Companions early on... You think, maybe I should also look out for those newly initiated male disciples, to see if there is a next Changgeng or Jingyun among them?"
