Chapter 272: Jiang Ling Su's Low EQ

Chapter 272: Jiang Ling Su's Low EQ

"This... is Elder Brother..."

The speaker's nickname was none other than Origin Venerable.

She knew it was her senior brother, Qi Yuan.

And so, upon reading the message, she clenched her teeth in frustration.

"Being ignored by Immortal Xianxian, he exchanged a Jade Rank Spell and accidentally let the large-breasted junior sister know about it.

Junior sister secretly sending flirtatious glances? Serving tea and pouring water? Massaging shoulders and pounding back?"

Jiang Ling Su's teeth clenched as she read the message, her face slightly reddening as she looked down.

"Elder Brother, what are you doing!"

She sent an angry message through the Divine Flower Association's jade slip.

Soon enough, a response came through the slip.

"I'm attending a feast, alas, a close relative of mine has passed away, and I'm here to honor him."

At that moment, Qi Yuan was in Maple City, attending a feast at the Chen family's residence.

After leaving Thunderbolt Valley, he had seen Chen Xi Yu waiting for him outside.

Initially, he didn't want to pay her any mind.

But then he remembered that he hadn't even attended a feast for the deceased.

So, he accepted Chen Xi Yu's invitation and had the Chen family prepare a feast for him.

Currently, he was joyfully enjoying the feast in his honor.

On the other side, upon hearing her senior brother's response, Jiang Ling Su's heart tightened.

Her previous anger dissipated.

Could it be... that Elder Brother's mortal relative had passed away? But she hadn't heard him speak of his background before.

She quickly consoled him, "Elder Brother, don't be too sad. You still have Seven Color Peak, and you still have your junior sister.

Where are you now? Should I come and see you?"

"Actually, I wasn't feeling sad, but after hearing you, I think I should be a little sad.

Alas, Qi Yuan, you died so pitifully.

Junior sister, eat more today, and bring more people to my feast."

As the saying goes, the more people attending a feast, the more glorious the deceased's life had been.

Hence, Qi Yuan also encouraged his junior sister to eat.

"Who are you!" Jiang Ling Su was momentarily stunned, feeling her blood rush to her head and a sharp pain in her chest. "What did you do to Elder Brother? If anything happens to him, I, Jiang Ling Su, will..."

She feared that her senior brother had met with misfortune, and the villain was on the other side.

"I am your Elder Brother. Junior sister, don't overthink things," Qi Yuan understood Jiang Ling Su's concern, feeling a warmth in his heart as he realized someone in the world cared for him. "The feast I'm attending is for my in-game character.

Alas, he died young, such a pitiful death."

"Game?" Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling Su was momentarily stunned, the feeling of the world collapsing around her vanished. She covered her chest with her hand, a smile appearing on her face, though it was a cold smile.

So, the feast was for his game character?

This speaking style was very similar to her senior brother's.

Her worries dissipated.

Then, anger rose within her.

She remembered why she had been looking for her senior brother.

"Elder Brother, what did you mean by what you said in the Divine Flower Association? Did the large-breasted junior sister secretly send you flirtatious glances?"

She recalled that day when her senior brother had just cured her illness, and she had emerged from her bath, wearing a sheer silk wrap due to her treatment. Even with the blue wrap struggling to cover her, it only managed to conceal two-thirds of her snow-white hemispheres, and as she walked, the fullness beneath threatened to burst free.

That was why her senior brother had used the term 'large-breasted junior sister' to describe her, Jiang Ling Su thought.

"Cough, cough, it's all made up," Qi Yuan answered honestly. "Although I described the junior sister, I did use parts of your character, but I absolutely did not plagiarize you!

Junior sister, if you pursue this, I'm willing to pay you... three hundred spirit stones in copyright fees!"

"Is this... a matter of spirit stones?" Jiang Ling Su felt like kicking her senior brother.

"You misunderstood, it's not a one-time payment of three hundred, but three hundred every month!" Qi Yuan clarified, proud of his cleverness, as he was only pretending to be a sponsor for a month.

"Hmph!" Jiang Ling Su coldly huffed, then continued messaging, "I know you're making things up just to get people to help you. But... when you describe that large-breasted junior sister again, make sure to portray her in a positive light!"

"Don't worry, no problem!" Qi Yuan quickly responded.

This was a minor matter.

"When I return to Seven Color Peak, I'll definitely return the spirit stones to you.

By the way, junior sister, if you're not doing well while I'm away, you can stay in my house." Qi Yuan's heart felt a sense of superiority.

The junior sister's wooden house was inferior to his cement flat.

She lived in a wooden house, while he resided in a cement flat, two levels above her.

Happiness was found in comparison.

The junior sister originally lived in a wooden house, but after seeing the cement flat next to her wooden house, she felt a sense of loss.

Not having seen the sun, one could endure the darkness.

After seeing his cement flat, would the junior sister still be content with her wooden house?

So, he flexed his high EQ once again and invited his junior sister to stay in his cement house.

This was also a way to compensate for his earlier "deception" of her.

However, his words took on a different meaning in Jiang Ling Su's ears.

Was her senior brother implying that she... was pining for him?!

"You're the one who's not doing well. Why would I want to stay in your house? Do I miss you that much? Am I thinking of you when I see your things? Am I that kind of person, Jiang Ling Su?!" At this moment, Jiang Ling Su was like a cat with its tail stepped on, jumping up and down.

Qi Yuan was taken aback, never expecting his high EQ to elicit such a strong reaction from his junior sister.

It seemed that his junior sister's EQ was a bit low, unable to understand his high EQ.

Was this the saying, "The summer insect cannot fathom the ice of winter"?

"Junior sister, whether you miss me or not, the three hundred spirit stones will be given to you, rest assured, I won't shortchange you," Qi Yuan replied with his high EQ.

The junior sister was angry, apparently feeling that she didn't want to pay the spirit stones.

Now, Qi Yuan had just emptied the headquarters of the Dark Sun, did he need those three hundred spirit stones?

He didn't.

"..." Jiang Ling Su was speechless when she saw this. After a long while, she said, "Senior Brother, did you upload the technique to the Divine Flower Association?"

A technique could only be uploaded once.

If the senior brother had already uploaded it, she wouldn't be able to do so.

"No, you can upload it at will," Qi Yuan thought for a moment and immediately used the jade slip of the Grandmaster of the Divine Flower Association to grant her special privileges.

Even if she uploaded a technique that had already been uploaded, her personal progress bar would still advance.

Of course, the overall progress wouldn't change.

After all, the technique she gave him had already been uploaded to the headquarters' jade slip in the Divine Flower Association.

Jiang Ling Su was his close junior sister, so he had to make an exception for her.

"That's great!" Hearing this, Jiang Ling Su was delighted, obviously intending to upload the technique to receive the reward.

This sense of accomplishment was captivating.

But then, Jiang Ling Su spoke up, "By the way, Senior Brother, my father will probably come to Seven Color Peak in a while.

Senior Brother, if you don't have any urgent matters, don't come back for now."

No one knows a daughter like her father.

Jiang Ling Su didn't need to think with her brain; she knew with her heart that her father believed she was charmed by Qi Yuan.

She couldn't understand this and found it amusing.

Was she the type to fall in love so easily?

Was she the senior brother's so-called lapdog?

Obviously not.

She had explained it to her father several times, but after failing to make him understand, she became too lazy to explain further.

However, how could she not know what her father's purpose was for coming here? "Huh? Your father is coming? What does that have to do with whether I come back or not?

That's strange. Your sister came a while ago, and now your father is coming. Won't your grandmother come after a while too?

Why is your father coming from so far away?

You guys are so tired from traveling every day; I suggest the entire Chen family move closer to the Divine Light Sect." Qi Yuan suggested with genuine concern.

Otherwise, if the Chen family missed their junior sister, they would keep rushing over, and the airfare would be a significant expense.

To save costs, it would be better for the whole family to move.

Jiang Ling Su was slightly stunned, her emotions were mixed: "Senior Brother, do you really want the Chen family to move here?"

She was just asking, and it was impossible.

The senior brother said this because he didn't want her, his adorable and petite junior sister, to leave.

"I hope so; it will save a lot of travel expenses!" Qi Yuan replied truthfully.

After chatting casually with Jiang Ling Su for a while, the junior sister finally asked Qi Yuan to help her.

Qi Yuan provided his assistance, and the two of them ended their conversation.

At this moment, in Maple City, Qi Yuan was feasting on meat.

In a 619-book-bar-watch-without-mistake version!

The head of the Chen family, a man in his fifties, sat beside Qi Yuan, his face filled with humility.

The other guests at the feast also stared at Qi Yuan with curiosity and reverence.

After all, Qi Yuan was the legendary Foundation Establishment Ancestor, an immortal among immortals.

Chen Xi Yu sat next to Qi Yuan, serene and gentle.

Her cousin, however, lowered her head, her eyes filled with deep regret.

She never expected that Chen Xi Yu would actually obtain an immortal blessing.

Moreover, it was from a Foundation Establishment Ancestor who could fly, which made her incredibly jealous.

But even if she was jealous, she dared not show it; otherwise, she might face death.

A Foundation Establishment Ancestor was someone even the ruler of a small country would respect, let alone the insignificant Chen family.

Qi Yuan enjoyed the feast, relaxed and carefree, occasionally checking the content on the Divine Flower Association's platform.

Due to Qi Yuan's efforts, the forum within the Divine Flower Association was buzzing with discussions about cultivation techniques.

Qi Yuan found it incredibly interesting.

Every so often, he would receive a large number of techniques.

The atmosphere during the feast was also quite tense.

After all, as the immortal lord who appeared in Maple City, these mortals both revered and flattered him, hoping to gain an immortal blessing.

Qi Yuan, of course, couldn't be bothered with such requests.

After all, apart from Chen Xi Yu, he wasn't familiar with the others. If not for these people attending his feast, he wouldn't have interacted much. After all, he had a slight case of social anxiety and wasn't fond of socializing with strangers.

As the feast concluded, Qi Yuan prepared to depart.

At this moment, the Chen family patriarch stood up and respectfully said, "Daoist Chen, I have prepared a small token of respect..."

In his opinion, Qi Yuan must have had more than just the feast in mind, and it was natural for him to expect some additional tribute.

He was also prepared to have his servants bring out the gifts.

When the wooden box was opened, Qi Yuan's eyes were once again met with a display of gold, silver, and treasures from the mortal world.

The Chen family patriarch's body trembled slightly, and his breathing became rapid, fearing that the Daoist might not appreciate these tokens of respect.

Qi Yuan's gaze swept over the mortal treasures of gold and silver, and he couldn't help but yawn.

However, when his eyes fell upon an ancient book, he suddenly froze.

"What is this?" he asked.

With a wave of his hand, a book appeared before his eyes.

On the cover of this worn and yellowed ancient book were the four characters "Eagle Claw Secret Manual."

"This is a martial arts secret manual cherished by my family. Our guards practice the techniques within," the Chen family patriarch replied respectfully.

"Martial arts?" Qi Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

To be honest, after joining the Divine Light Sect, he had rarely ventured into the mortal world.

Even when he did enter the mortal realm, he wouldn't stay for long.

In the mortal world, he had vaguely heard about the existence of martial arts.

But no matter how powerful martial arts were, they were just physical techniques. Even a cultivator at the Qi Refinement stage could defeat them.

Therefore, Qi Yuan hadn't paid much attention to martial arts and hadn't bothered to acquire martial arts secret manuals.

As a result, when he saw a martial arts secret manual for the first time, he was surprised to discover something he had previously overlooked.

This martial arts manual, indeed, was simple and ordinary. But if Qi Yuan were to fully absorb and digest its contents, the benefits would be no less than a medium-grade cultivation technique.

This piqued Qi Yuan's interest.

"Are there more martial arts manuals like this? I'm quite curious," Qi Yuan asked.

He wanted to see more, fearing that this one might be an exception.

"There are over ten more in my family's collection. I'll have them brought to you immediately, Daoist," the Chen family patriarch instructed.

A servant, resembling a steward, hurried off and soon returned with over a dozen similar martial arts manuals and cultivation techniques," he said.

With a wave of Qi Yuan's hand, these manuals appeared before his eyes.

The cultivation techniques within these manuals were indeed simple, and even the more advanced ones only taught a few moves and how to exert strength.

However, Qi Yuan discovered that their effect on him was surprisingly comparable to ordinary cultivation techniques.

"Interesting, truly interesting," he muttered.

This discovery caught Qi Yuan off guard and filled him with delight.

His eyes narrowed as if deep in thought.

"Could it be that all paths lead to the same destination?" he wondered, his mind filled with questions and random speculations.

Was it possible that all cultivation techniques, even martial arts manuals, in the Canglan Realm, were created by weak cultivators, but influenced by the rules of the heavenly path, making them a part of the heavenly laws?

If the heavenly path rules were like oxygen, then cultivation techniques, martial arts, and cultivation methods were like oxides.

What Qi Yuan was doing was extracting the oxygen from them.

Of course, what he was extracting might not be the heavenly path rules.

"But why can't the Qi Yuan Canon be created using cultivation techniques from other worlds?

Could it be... because I haven't yet detached myself from this world? Different worlds have different rules, and even the Blood Robe Sword God's power in the Mundane Heart Realm seems inferior to his power outside it.

If I continue to use the Canglan Realm's rules to compile the Qi Yuan Canon, wouldn't it mean that one day, I might also be trapped within the Canglan Realm?" Qi Yuan mused to himself.

He never expected that attending a feast in the mortal world would yield such a discovery.

This realization led to many thoughts.

Now, to continue compiling cultivation techniques, he needed to gather more cultivation methods and techniques from the Canglan Realm.

However, he couldn't approach this task as systematically as before.

In the blink of an eye, Qi Yuan vanished from his current location.

After a few breaths, a Purple Mansion cultivator appeared beside Qi Yuan, his eyes filled with deep reverence.

"Greetings, Sword God!"

This Purple Mansion cultivator was the same one Qi Yuan had encountered on his journey, a member of the Divine Flower Society's forum who had seen the Blood Robe Sword God's post.

Qi Yuan glanced at the Purple Mansion cultivator, "Your arrival is timely. Help me with a task, and I'll increase your progress bar by 80%."

The Purple Mansion cultivator's face lit up with excitement.

Serving the Blood Robe Sword God was an honor.

"Please instruct me, Senior!"

"Help me gather martial arts from the mortal world. The more, the better. But remember, be gentle and avoid causing too much chaos."

Qi Yuan spoke casually.

After all, he was a lawful good individual with a kind heart.
