Chapter 4

Hold on?

Could it be that Uncle has more teachings?

Zhang Shanfeng hurriedly looked at Su Fan, his eyes eager. WatermarkGG test WatermarkGG test

Su Fan, with a slight headache, glanced at Little Jixiang. This disciple, of course, cannot be accepted.

However, Zhang Shanfeng, this old guy, acted without permission. He needs a lesson, or else he'll think I don't exist as an uncle.

The lesson won't be too severe, hehehe...

Su Fan cleared his throat and said, "What is your current cultivation level?"

"I am still at the peak of the Golden Core stage," Zhang Shanfeng replied.

"Peak Golden Core, your understanding of spells should already be quite strong," Su Fan said calmly.

Zhang Shanfeng responded, "I follow the path of sword cultivation, so my spell proficiency is naturally not as good as Uncle's, but it's still decent within the sect."

As he explained, his thoughts began to race.

What does Uncle mean by this? Could it be...

"Sword cultivators don't have to focus solely on sword techniques; spells are also important." Su Fan took three steps back, walked to the side, and said slowly, "Since I have nothing to do today, I'll test your spell proficiency."

Not using such a good tool would be a waste, wouldn't it?

Looking at the houses where the disciples on the main peak live, and then at the stone house I built myself...

It's enough to shield from the wind, but probably not from the rain.

And it... doesn't match my status as an uncle!

Zhang Shanfeng nodded lightly, "May I ask how Uncle will test me?"

Uncle has lived for ten thousand years. Can I withstand his move?

"It's very simple. There are many earth and wood elements here. We'll use them to test your spells. Build a circle of stone walls around you now," Su Fan pointed to the open area and said.

"Yes!"

Zhang Shanfeng raised his hand and formed a spell gesture. The stones on the ground floated up, and the spiritual energy gathered, forming a colorful ribbon that lifted the stones and neatly placed them in the open area. The earth on the ground climbed up to fill the gaps between the stones.

Although Zhang Shanfeng was puzzled, he didn't think much about it, considering it was Uncle's test.

Su Fan nodded, "Not bad, you have a good grasp of the details."

Zhang Shanfeng looked skeptical. Such a simple spell, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator could do it.

"Continue using your spells. Build wooden pillars here," Su Fan pointed to the stone house and said, "Remember not to rush. Spells are all about details. Pay attention to the spacing between the wooden pillars, and the appearance is also important."

Zhang Shanfeng kept Su Fan's words in mind and raised his hand to control the spiritual energy.

The trees broke neatly at the base and turned into wooden strips that fell in the air, with the spacing just right.

In a short while, a small courtyard had taken shape.

Su Fan looked at his courtyard. This is even better than I expected. I'm a genius!

"Not bad, it seems your spell proficiency is quite good," Su Fan nodded in satisfaction and praised.

"Thank you, Uncle!" Zhang Shanfeng bowed.

Little Jixiang, standing to the side, stared at them with wide eyes.

Isn't this just building a house? Can this test spell proficiency?

Little Jixiang, seeing the methods Zhang Shanfeng used, hurriedly said, "The Sect Leader is amazing, the courtyard you built is both beautiful and sturdy."

"Little Jixiang, don't be envious. Once you start cultivating, you can learn various spells too," Zhang Shanfeng said with a smile, "I've infused my own magical power into it, so it can withstand a hundred years of wind and rain, making it extremely sturdy..."

Before Zhang Shanfeng could finish speaking, a terrifying spiritual light fell from the sky.

Boom—

The spiritual light landed on the newly built courtyard, instantly causing cracks to appear on the stone walls and the wooden pillars to break.

Two figures flew past, their spiritual power surging, revealing the aura of the Nascent Soul realm. "Sect Leader Zhang, I apologize. I lost control while sparring with my junior brother. I'll invite you to my sect for tea and apologize later!"

The voice came from a distance, and the two Nascent Soul experts resumed their fight, flying away.

Su Fan: ...

My house!

It took so long to build, and I haven't even entered it yet!

Seeing Uncle's face turn dark, Zhang Shanfeng quickly used his spells to restore the small courtyard.

Little Jixiang hid behind Su Fan, looking at Zhang Shanfeng with a tense expression.

"Uncle, I didn't expect anyone to be sparring nearby," Zhang Shanfeng looked at the restored house and explained hurriedly.

"It's fine, it was an unexpected event, not your fault," Su Fan said slowly.

Hearing Su Fan's words, Zhang Shanfeng let out a long sigh of relief.

"Since that's the case, I won't disturb Uncle anymore."

Zhang Shanfeng bowed respectfully, and a cloud of mist slowly appeared under his feet. He stepped on the mist and was about to fly away.

Little

Jixiang, seeing the misty cloud, waved hurriedly.

"Sect Leader, take care."

In the air, Zhang Shanfeng's mind was full of the scene of the two Nascent Soul cultivators fighting, and he was secretly angry.

But as he thought, he became distracted, and his spiritual energy flow went awry. His body trembled, and the cloud under his feet mysteriously dissipated, causing him to fall from the sky.

Thud!

Zhang Shanfeng's body fell into the mountains.

"Ouch—"

Just looking at it hurts, Su Fan looked at Little Jixiang beside him, his expression strange.

Right, Little Jixiang!

Why haven't you left yet?

After a while, he realized.

Zhang Shanfeng just left, leaving the trouble to him.

He really didn't want to take on a disciple. After all, he was just a cultivator at the 11th level of the Qi Condensation stage. How could he teach others?

And disciples are too much trouble. He had enough on his plate already.

Seeing Su Fan staring at her, Little Jixiang immediately became nervous, clutching the hem of her clothes and looking up at the gentle and handsome face close to her, feeling her heart race.

For ordinary women, there is already a vague understanding of love. People who look good and speak gently are easily attractive to women.

In her village, there were girls her age who were already betrothed, and her mother said she would encounter it too.

She didn't expect to see it in a cultivation sect, and even the most handsome man in her village couldn't compare to this uncle.

But Uncle's expression was a bit serious.

Did I offend this uncle somehow?

Her mother said there are many rules in cultivation sects, and it's easy to offend them.

What should I do? Did I really offend Uncle?

Thinking of this, Little Jixiang became even more nervous, her big, watery eyes staring at Su Fan, looking pitiful.

This weak and helpless appearance made Su Fan pause.

I can't resist.

This is too cute!

Su Fan said slowly, "I will teach you cultivation, but you will call me Uncle like the others. We are not in a master-disciple relationship, understand?"

Little Jixiang nodded and quickly knelt down, calling out, "Uncle, hello!"

That cute voice hit Su Fan's heart, and his originally firm heart trembled.

Sigh, it seems my cultivation is not enough.
