Chapter 241: The Average Talent of Jiang Ling Su

Chapter 241: The Average Talent of Jiang Ling Su

Jiang Ling Su, with her mind still in a daze, walked straight to her room.

"Eldest Senior Brother, I'll call you in when I'm ready. Then you can come in."

"Alright."

Jiang Ling Su entered her room alone. At this moment, her mind was still a bit hazy.

Is Eldest Senior Brother being serious?

Or is there some sinister plot behind his actions?

But before she could finish her thought, she realized she didn't know who would be at a disadvantage!

There was no need for Eldest Senior Brother to deceive her about such matters, so Jiang Ling Su decided to give it a try.

After all, that frostbite toxin was not something an ordinary person could endure.

After about the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, Jiang Ling Su finished tidying up her messy room.

Usually, Eldest Senior Brother wouldn't enter her room, so she rarely cleaned it thoroughly.

It's only natural for a girl to have more belongings, right?

Now, with the room cleaned, at least on the surface, it no longer appeared cluttered.

At this moment, a large bathtub had been added to the room, and Jiang Ling Su, wearing a chest wrap, sat in the tub.

The water in the tub was azure blue, constantly boiling, with Whisper Flowers, Immortal Dragon Rock Leaves, and Zuan petals floating on the surface.

These spiritual plants were essential for treating Jiang Ling Su's physical condition.

At this moment, Jiang Ling Su's ivory-white arms and slender, fragrant shoulders were exposed above the water, revealing the contours of her collarbones with a few strands of wet black hair sticking to them. She glanced outside the room.

"Eldest Senior Brother, you can come in now."

As she spoke, her hands unconsciously covered her chest, perhaps because the water temperature was too hot, causing a faint blush to appear on her snow-white face.

"Coming, coming..."

Light footsteps approached and then stopped after about two breaths.

Jiang Ling Su took a gentle breath, feeling the water a bit too hot, and her fair skin now had some red patches.

"Are you taking a bath?" At this moment, Qi Yuan's voice came from outside.

"With my clothes on!" Jiang Ling Su couldn't help but raise her voice.

"Taking a video?" Qi Yuan's voice sounded curious.

Taking a bath with clothes on, isn't that like filming a video? However, despite his curiosity, he didn't move forward but stood behind the folding screen.

"It's proper for men and women to maintain a respectful distance, and you, Eldest Senior Brother, are a married man. I'll stay here and watch over you to avoid any misunderstandings."

Qi Yuan spoke from behind the screen, his mood calm.

He also thought he had high emotional intelligence.

On Bluestar, there were always sayings about the proper distance between men and women, like 'a father should avoid his daughter after her birth.'

Qi Yuan couldn't live up to such extremes, but he was good at avoiding misunderstandings.

"Avoid misunderstandings?" Jiang Ling Su in the bathtub fell silent for a moment. "Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother."

"Don't overthink it. I'm not avoiding you because of your figure or your looks. It's about maintaining proper decorum between men and women!" Qi Yuan said enthusiastically, feeling he was being considerate and thoughtful.

In this situation, he was concerned that Jiang Ling Su, as a patient, might have wild thoughts, so he wanted to clarify everything.

What he said was true; his junior sister was naturally stunning, and her figure, even in ordinary attire, was hard to conceal, making her a true beauty.

So, he genuinely didn't have any complaints.

Jiang Ling Su in the bathtub froze, biting her teeth, wishing she could jump out of the tub and punch Eldest Senior Brother.

"Eldest Senior Brother, it's better if you stay quiet." Jiang Ling Su couldn't help but speak up.

Why did Eldest Senior Brother, with his handsome looks and high talent, always ruin the image she had of him in her mind as soon as he opened his mouth?

"I understand."

Qi Yuan knew his words were too warm, and his junior sister might not be able to handle it.

"Are you ready? My Divine Infant is about to enter!"

"I'm ready." Jiang Ling Su replied, her pretty face filled with curiosity. She was eager to know how Eldest Senior Brother planned to help her with the treatment.

Only a Purple Mansion with a water-attributed Heavenly Spirit Root could do it.

Eldest Senior Brother's Divine Infant... What is that?

Just then, the room suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Ling Su focused her attention on her surroundings.

Her gaze, through the screen behind the clothes rack, fixed on the motionless figure.

At this moment, Qi Yuan's eyes shone with anticipation.

In the Mundane Heart World, for cultivators, the most valuable things, in order of importance, were: the original Ancestral Ground, Qi Yuan's Deity Observation Technique, the accidentally encountered Gluttonyless Holy Mother, and finally, the Mundane Heart World itself, a Primordial World.

The original Ancestral Ground was deeply connected to Qi Yuan's Deity Observation Technique.

Qi Yuan's ability to observe and create such a powerful Deity Observation Technique was due to the consumption of resources from a special tower in the original Ancestral Ground.

Additionally, Qi Yuan's unique Deity Observation Technique and the reward for completing the task—the Primordial Spirit—played a significant role.

The Primordial Spirit was, in fact, a seed of a Primordial World.

In terms of value, it was even more precious than the Mundane Heart World.

All the inhabitants, resources from the Ancestral Ground, the Deity Observation Technique, and the Primordial Spirit.

All these elements,

When condensed into a Divine Infant, gave birth to not just a group of mythical beings but a group of extremely powerful primordial demons!

After all, even after slaying two Yang Deities, when Qi Yuan entered the Ancestral Ground, he felt his heart tremble with fear.

After all, they supported the birth of the Three Pure Ones' Deity Observation Technique.

However, Qi Yuan didn't mind and continued to bestow these opportunities upon his sacrificed followers.

This also led to the creation of his current Divine Infant.

"Radiant Brilliance, Infant Emerges from Divine Repository, heed my command and purge all misfortune!"

Qi Yuan softly swaying as he chanted.

With his voice, an ancient aura permeated the room, filling it with a primordial energy.

The space seemed to ripple.

The Divine Infant emerged, and a phantom appeared.

A graceful and enchanting goddess phantom gracefully approached. Her eyes seemed devoid of emotion, as if she were half-asleep and half-awake.

The current Divine Infant was still in hibernation, not fully awakened, and was relying on instinct.

"I obey the command of the Venerable."

The goddess phantom's voice was serene and ethereal.

Even in death, before Qi Yuan, she maintained her instinctive reverence.

At this moment, Jiang Ling Su, in the bathtub, widened her eyes as she sensed an overwhelmingly powerful aura sweeping over her.

It was as if behind the folding screen stood not a person, but an ocean.

As the goddess phantom appeared, Jiang Ling Su's heart pounded, and even through the thick barrier, her heartbeat was clearly audible.

"Dark Deity!"

With just a glance at the goddess phantom, she knew this wasn't the Purple Mansion, but the Dark Deity.

Jiang Ling Su had seen the high and mighty Purple Mansion, but compared to the phantom before her, the Purple Mansion seemed as fragile as an ant.

"I've met the senior!"

Facing the goddess phantom, Jiang Ling Su dared not remain seated in the bathtub. She stood up like a water lily emerging from the water.

The blue-wrapped chest tightly bound her bosom, contrasting sharply with her smooth and flat lower abdomen, making her upper body appear even more majestic.

The goddess phantom showed no emotion.

Qi Yuan, behind the folding screen, closed his eyes, but the image the goddess phantom saw was still imprinted in his mind.

"Since ancient times, red and blue have been a perfect match. Why isn't she wearing red below?"

This was the first thought that popped into Qi Yuan's mind.

The senior sister's upper body was wrapped in blue, while her hips and buttocks were covered by a white towel, resembling a pencil skirt.

Despite his curiosity, Qi Yuan had the emotional intelligence not to ask.

The greatest difference between adults and children is that adults can control their curiosity.

Qi Yuan was already an adult and couldn't act like a child, asking questions without thinking.

If he asked, wouldn't he reveal that the Divine Infant was watching, and so was he?

Although the senior sister's attire was much more modest than what you'd see on a beach or even some female Bodhisattvas, Qi Yuan respected her and didn't stare.

"Senior Sister, please sit down so I can heal you!" Qi Yuan said.

Even with his eyes closed, he could still see, which was quite remarkable.

Jiang Ling Su didn't think much of it and sat back down in the Qinglan-colored water.

At this moment, she looked at the Dark Deity, and many thoughts flashed through her mind.

The Dark Deity before her remained silent, like a dead person, giving Jiang Ling Su a sense of immense pressure.

She wondered how her senior brother had found such a Dark Deity?

Could it be...

Jiang Ling Su couldn't help but think of the Blood Robe Sword Deity that ravaged Cuiyunzhou.

At this moment, the goddess phantom stepped forward, her arm resting on Jiang Ling Su's fragrant shoulder.

A vast ocean of divine energy filled the room, and Jiang Ling Su immediately felt her spiritual power boiling.

Her snow-white skin took on a crimson hue, like a perfectly cooked little lobster, incredibly tempting.

"Senior Sister, this time, won't you be found to have some special physique?" Qi Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Based on Qi Yuan's extensive experience of watching TV and anime over the years.

The last time the Divine Light Sect accepted seven disciples with top-tier talent, each had a special life providence.

For example, Dong Xian, who was once a prince, had his own opportunities, with a remnant soul of the Purple Mansion sleeping in his consciousness. He eventually became the emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom.

Another example was Jiang Ran, a girl targeted by the Black Chicken Old Demon, who possessed a special physique. Dual cultivation with her greatly benefited cultivators.

Senior Sister was one of the seven.

Now, Dong Xian had become the emperor, and Jiang Ran's nemesis, the Black Chicken Old Demon, had perished. These individuals had embarked on their own story branches.

With Senior Sister's injuries healed, wouldn't she also unlock her own story branch?

Perhaps a Yang Deity would appear, take her away, and accept her as a disciple? That's why Qi Yuan asked if Jiang Ling Su had any special physique.

Jiang Ling Su felt warm all over, and facing the Dark Deity, she was filled with reverence. Being healed by the Dark Deity, she shouldn't speak, as it would be disrespectful.

But since her senior brother asked, she had no choice but to answer: "What physique? My talent is just average."

Jiang Ling Su was modest.

She possessed a pure Water Spirit Root.

Such a Spirit Root was considered a talent even in the Eastern Lands.

In the Divine Light Sect, it would be a rarity.

"Your talent is indeed quite average. Just a pure Water Spirit Root? At the Core Formation Stage, your spiritual power is also average, at a common level. Your physique is better than most female cultivators, more flexible and resilient, but your Yin Water is somewhat abnormal due to your severe illness..."

Qi Yuan's words were blunt. "Apart from having a larger bust and a more attractive appearance, you're really quite ordinary. You're not even as good as an average villager."

Based on the feedback from the Divine Infant, Qi Yuan had essentially given his junior sister a full body checkup.

The results were disappointing; his junior sister's talent was utterly average.

Not only would a Yang Deity not be interested in taking on such a disciple, but even a Yin Deity would likely look down upon her.

Even the Purple Mansion would disdain her, deeming her not worth the effort.

Soaking in the bathtub, Jiang Ling Su struggled to contain her anger and the urge to give Qi Yuan a kick.

She naturally assumed that this information was provided by the Yin Deity treating her, who had shared it with Qi Yuan.

"Senior Brother, where can you find a villager like this?" Jiang Ling Su asked indignantly.

"The person in front of you is a villager. I searched for a long time in the game and finally found one in a small gourd village." Qi Yuan replied lazily.

This woman had first visualized the Water Baby from the Gourd Brothers, and later the Water Deity, before becoming a Great Venerable.

Jiang Ling Su was speechless.

Senior Brother's words were hard to refute. After all, how could she ask this Yin Deity if she was indeed from the small gourd village?

Senior Brother was close to this predecessor, but she was not. She couldn't be impolite just because of her close relationship with Senior Brother.

"Sigh, junior sister, you're too ordinary, not even qualified to become my Divine Infant." Qi Yuan sighed.

Jiang Ling Su was speechless.

Divine Infant?

Senior Brother had just said that this predecessor was his Divine Infant.

Senior Brother was bold indeed.

She dared not utter such words in front of this Yin Deity. What if they were overheard? Yin Deities were known for their unpredictable tempers and were the top-tier combat power in the Canglan Realm, not to be offended lightly.

"Like this..." Qi Yuan said, "If I remember correctly, any disciple of the Great Sect who breaks through to the Divine Infant realm can hold a Divine Infant Festival.

Junior sister, I've decided to hold a Divine Infant Festival. You can be the doorkeeper and receive gifts for me!"

Qi Yuan was usually low-key, but he still needed to maintain his prestige.

Now that he had reached the Divine Infant stage, he naturally wanted to hold a festival to flaunt his achievements.

Wealth and honor should be shared with others; otherwise, it's like wearing fine clothes in the dark.

If he didn't display his Divine Infant cultivation, what if he encountered some small-time bullies who took advantage of him?

"Senior Brother, if you can convince the Sect Leader to let you hold the Divine Infant Festival, I'll be your doorkeeper!" Jiang Ling Su replied.

"Alright, convincing the Sect Leader should be easy."

Qi Yuan shrugged.

With just a few words, he could empty the Sect Leader's storage pouch.

As for his junior sister, Jiang Ling Su...it seemed that this rich girl would give him money even without him asking.

Thinking this, Qi Yuan's gaze towards Jiang Ling Su softened.

This rich junior sister was indeed a good person.

Half an hour passed, and Qi Yuan and Jiang Ling Su chatted endlessly through the folding screen, discussing the details of the Divine Infant Festival, the gifts to be presented, and the seating arrangements.

"Junior sister, your injuries have healed," Qi Yuan said.

As his voice sounded, the Divine Infant's illusion vanished.

Jiang Ling Su's mental pressure disappeared, and she carefully examined her body.

The previous chill was completely gone.

Her pretty face lit up with joy as her injuries were fully healed.

If a Purple Mansion cultivator had come, they might have needed several treatments.

But with a Yin Deity, one treatment was enough.

Jiang Ling Su was delighted and thought of something. She stepped out of the bath, her gaze falling on the distant figure. With a graceful wave of her slender hand, she added a layer of gossamer veil to her already alluring figure.

Jiang Ling Su stepped past the folding screen, her expression sincere as she bowed deeply, "Senior Brother, thank you."

To find a Yin Deity to treat her illness was a significant favor.

Qi Yuan looked at the cool and alluring Jiang Ling Su in front of him, somewhat surprised.

His junior sister was usually conservative, dressing modestly. This was the first time she had shown so much skin in front of him.

The gossamer veil was as good as nothing, unable to conceal her graceful figure. Instead, it teased and revealed, exuding boundless charm.

"Junior sister, why don't you put on more clothes? Aren't you worried I might be a bad person?" Qi Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Ling Su replied straightforwardly, "What's there to worry about? Everything that should be covered is covered. Can't my senior brother see what a Yin Deity has seen?"

Qi Yuan had no response.

Indeed, he was being old-fashioned. The Qing Dynasty had ended, and he still had a queue on his head.

"Even if my senior brother is a bad person, who knows who will be at a loss and who will gain?" Jiang Ling Su continued.
