Chapter 97

Inside the Sword Cottage, Bu Yanran walked leisurely into the thatched hut. At this moment, the head of the Bu Family Manor, Bu Ming, was still sitting calmly in front of the table, leisurely brewing tea!

"Father, I have already made the arrangements for him, but are you really sure about taking him as a disciple?" Bu Yanran slowly walked to Bu Ming's side and asked softly.

Bu Ming's hand paused slightly while brewing tea, then continued, and said softly, "Yanran, do you know why the Holy Capital issued the mountain-sealing order?"

"These extraordinary people are chosen by heaven. Giving them a path is the will of heaven! In fact, in the future, all sects and martial arts families will have the participation of extraterrestrial beings. For our Bu Family, it is inevitable that we will have to accept extraterrestrial disciples! If so, wouldn't it be better to choose someone with a slightly better disposition?"

"Yanran, don't let your second sister's death cause you to have a prejudice against extraterrestrial beings. I have a feeling that people like your second sister were meant to be reincarnated as extraterrestrial beings. This Bu Fan will become the spokesperson for our Bu Family Manor in the future, so cultivate him carefully!"

"Yes, Father, I understand. What martial arts should we teach him?" Bu Yanran asked softly at this moment.

"Speaking of martial arts, the martial arts he obtained from侠客岛 (the侠客Island) may not be inferior to the martial arts in our manor. However, many of the martial arts in the manor are also unparalleled by侠客Island! I remember that Bu Er had already come to seek my opinion before, and I taught him the Cloud Walking Technique. So, you can start by teaching him the Ice Heart Technique, then ask him what he wants to learn, whether it's palm techniques or sword techniques!"

Bu Ming thought for a moment and said calmly.

"I understand, Father!" Bu Yanran nodded gently and then slowly left.

On the other side, Bu Fan had also packed his things and came to the courtyard that Bu Yanran had arranged for him. However, in the courtyard, he saw someone who surprised him.

It was Xiangxue, the maid of the second miss, who had once gone out with Bu Fan!

"Xiangxue, why are you here?" Bu Fan looked at Xiangxue standing in the courtyard and asked in surprise.

Xiangxue replied somewhat gloomily, "The eldest miss asked me to take care of you. She said you are now the master's indoor disciple and need someone to take care of you, but the second miss..."

At the end, Xiangxue couldn't continue.

Bu Fan sighed and said softly, "No need, Xiangxue, I don't need you to take care of me!"

Xiangxue didn't respond to his words but asked softly, "Xiao Fan, are you and the second miss really from another world?"

"Yes!"

"No wonder. Can you tell me about that world?" Xiangxue asked softly.

"That's a world filled with slaughter. Outside, there are cruel demon races. They look like humans but have no consciousness or thoughts, only knowing how to kill and destroy..."

Bu Fan briefly described the environment of the post-apocalyptic world to Xiangxue, and her attention was quickly drawn to the new world Bu Fan depicted.

After Bu Fan finished speaking, Xiangxue said softly, "So, your world is so dangerous!"

"Yes, to be honest, I really want to stay in this world forever!" Bu Fan sighed at this moment.

"Let's not talk about it. Let's quickly tidy up the room. I'll help you!"

Seeing the sad expression on Bu Fan's face, Xiangxue changed the subject, even though she was the maid of the second miss.

But in fact, Xiangxue was more saddened by the second miss herself and more resentful of the extraterrestrial being who possessed her.

Since the second miss began to change, Xiangxue had devoted herself to helping her, but the second miss only used her and never treated her sincerely. On the contrary, Bu Fan, though also an extraterrestrial being, had always been easy to get along with.

Therefore, Xiangxue was not as resistant to taking care of Bu Fan as Bu Fan had imagined!

Just as they finished tidying up the courtyard, Bu Yanran came over to inform Bu Fan to go to her place.

When Bu Fan arrived at the quiet room where Bu Yanran was, he saw that Bu Yanran was already standing in the room. After Bu Fan arrived, she handed him a small booklet.

Bu Fan took the booklet and saw the words "Ice Heart Technique" on the cover.

Ice Heart Technique!

It was actually the Ice Heart Technique!

This was the ancestral technique of the Nie family, who were close friends of the Bu family. In the previous life, people had discussed that the Ice Heart Technique was the best internal cultivation technique, with excellent effects on cultivating internal energy!

"This is the Ice Heart Technique, the ancestral technique of the Nie family, who have a deep connection with our Bu family. Now, you can start practicing here. If you have any questions, you can ask me. However, you can only practice the Ice Heart Technique here and cannot take it away. In the future, you are not allowed to teach it to others, understand?" Bu Yanran said seriously to Bu Fan.

Bu Fan suppressed his excitement, nodded, and then opened the booklet in front of Bu Yanran.

"Mind as clear as ice, unmoved by the collapse of the sky, calm in the midst of change, spirit serene and breath clear..."

Familiar opening lines appeared before Bu Fan's eyes, along with a series of cultivation diagrams!

After memorizing the cultivation routes, Bu Fan sat cross-legged on a cushion and began to circulate his internal energy according to the Ice Heart Technique.

As the Ice Heart Technique circulated, a cool sensation suddenly appeared in his mind. At this moment, Bu Fan felt his mind become inexplicably clear, and the杂念 (miscellaneous thoughts) in his heart quickly disappeared, his mind gradually becoming peaceful.

Beside Bu Fan, Bu Yanran looked at him in surprise. She had expected the boy to have many questions, but he had directly entered a meditative state while practicing the Ice Heart Technique.

In Bu Fan's mind, the cultivation diagrams from the Ice Heart Technique quickly appeared, and his internal energy began to move according to the diagrams.

At the same time, his mind became increasingly clear, as if he had completely entered a state of cultivation, completely unaware of the changes in the outside world.

Only after completing a full cycle of the Ice Heart Technique did his consciousness slowly return. At this moment, Bu Fan felt his spirit was very full, as if he had just had a good sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Bu Yanran's surprised gaze, and she was staring at him as if he were a monster!

"Have you learned it?" Bu Yanran looked at Bu Fan and asked softly.

"Yes, I have completed one full cycle, and I feel it is very effective!" Bu Fan answered truthfully.
