Whether or not his junior brother hates him, Shan Qin was still unsure about that matter, on the other side Master Li Luo has finally told Wen Jiu that he is healthy and all his injuries were healed, so now he can say goodbye to lying in bed and waiting for his death.

This kind of news were naturally good news for Wen Jiu, after all, he has not really left the room after he transmigrated over to this world, he has always wanted to go out and wonder around the area he is in for at least once.

His Master told him this good news after she checked his pulse, before going to bed on the fourth day after his transmigration. After hearing the news, Wen Jiu felt like he was a college entrance examination candidate who was due to go to the examination hall the next day. He felt excitement and tension in his heart, and he didn't know how this kind of feeling came into being. Moreover there was no way to let this mood, he has now, calm down.

After tossing and turning over and over all night, it was about to be dawn, and that's when Wen Jiu finally fell asleep while he was in a daze.

As a result, it seems that not even a minute has passed of him closing his eyes, when Wen Jiu heard a few "knock"s outside his room door.

For a while, he didn't react. He subconsciously grabbed the pillow and covered his head to prevent the noise from completely waking up. However, after knocking on the door for a while, the person outside seemed to understand that knocking on the door could not stop Wen Jiu's enthusiasm for sleeping, the man gave up knocking and pushed open the wooden door of Wen Jiu's room.

This time Wen Jiu finally couldn't lie down anymore, he put down the pillow covering his head then rubbed his eyes hard, then looked towards the door. His senior brother was wearing a pure white clothes leaning against the door frame, his face was blank and expressionless, staring at him. Seeing that he was awake, he said: "Wake up, and get out of the bed, you can't sleep like a dead person in the future, otherwise you will not be able to protect yourself from danger."

Wen Jiux touched his nose and nodded a bit sheepishly. He simply felt that the people living around here are all masters and strong people, so it is impossible for any harm to happen to him under the current situation, where currently everyone has no grievances and no grudges on the people around them . This assured him that he can sleep without any guard.

But his senior brother told him that he can't sleep like a dead person, so basically he can't do that anymore since his senior brother is the protagonist and he doesn't dare to go again what he says and anger him. He now has to do what his senior brother tells him, since Wen Jiu has been in bed for more than two days he felt really lazy.

-In this world where his senior brother will become an immortal, in order to survive, apart from working hard to be a passerby and reducing the sense of his existence, he has to not go against his senior brother, that's the most important thing.

He is not asking for prosperity and something impossible, he is only asking to not die too early. Since he doesn't want to die early it is still necessary for him to listen to his senior brother's words.

His senior brother told him to get up when he wakes up and not stay lazing around in bed, Wen Jiu stretched out his hands and got up to fold his quilt. He said casually: "Brother, what time do you usually get up in the morning?"

"What time?" Shan Qin frowned. He already has a communication barrier, and his junior brother suddenly came up with a question that he has never heard before, it instantly made him feel a sense of fear that he would never dare to talk to his Junior Brother again.

It just became a habit of paralyzing his face to a certain level. So even if Shan Qin is worried about saying the wrong thing and is already worried about sitting on the chair, his complexion on the other side still would look as calm as usual.

Wen Jiu originally just asked casually. Hearing his senior brother's rhetorical question, he reacted violently and realized that his question seemed to be a little stupid.

It seems that there is no "what 'time'" in this era.

He coughed slightly, and his brain cells started to move at high speed at this time. In a flash, he recalled the various ancient costume films and drama he had seen before, searched out various common words in those films, and then bluntly said again: "Actually, what I wanted to ask is, when do we usually get up?"

"Waking up at Mao (5 a.m) is fine." His senior brother responded, "What does 'time' mean?", when he asked Wen Jiu that question he realized that Wen Jiu didn't give him the answer about his question no matter how much he waited. (Note: The time in ancient China in case you guys want to know more about it )

Wen Jiu: "......"

'Brother, I know that you are not dumb, but why are you so curious about anything related to studying and knowledge? You always have to ask everything clearly and it makes me feel entangled. Don't you know that there are things that your cute little brother is unwilling to answer and follow you in.

Of course, he is not going to say that to his senior brother since it's simply disrespectful.

Wen Jiu thought for a second and said: "This is a word used in my dialect, and what 'time' is. I'm afraid that you won't understand it even if I explain."

He was very sincere when saying that. Shan Qin didn't see anything wrong when he looked at him, so he didn't ask any more questions.

After Wen Jiu tided up his bed, he followed his senior brother to wash, cleaned himself up, and then the two went out to go to their master's pavilion to met their master who was waiting for them. After Wen Jiu came, Shan Qin stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door a few times. He opened his mouth and said:"Master, Junior Brother is here."

"Okay." There was a reply from inside the door. Less than half a minute later, the door was opened from the inside. Li Luo stood in the room, smiled at the two disciples and said: "The first disciple has worked hard for, you go down and start cultivating first. Second disciple wait a minute, do you feel any discomfort in your body? Today you are going to go with your senior brother to recognize your way of going around, but tomorrow you can't bother your senior brother to show you the way ah."

"Yes, Master." The two replied at the same time. Shan Qin returned back to his place (yard) after checking Liluo's luggage and making sure everything is there. While Wen Jiu stood in front of Li Luo answering her questions. "Disciple you don't feel uncomfortable right? Today you can memorize the places around here, but if you have any problem with the way tomorrow, you can come ask me, one more think remember to come to me when you face any problem with cultivating and practicing okay?"

"your senior brother's appearance might be cold and intimidating but he is actually quite easy to talk to." Li Luo said: "If you aren't sure about anything you can ask me, but if I am not here you can go ask your senior brother for help. Don't forget what I said although he always looks cold, he is actually quite a nice person."

Wen Jiu nodded at whatever she said like he was an obedient disciple, but to be honest, the words that his master said came inside his left ear and went out from the other ear. If something really happens, although the master told him to go to his senior brother, he would rather go to his junior sister than go to his senior brother.

Li Luo has been staring at her second disciple's facial expression, although on the surface it seems like he was listening to her and there is nothing wrong with him, but his big eyes have been wandering left and right not daring to look into her eyes when answering her. It was so obvious that he was lying when he was answering, it made Li Luo unable to know whether she should praise him or scold him for doing that.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something to her second disciple, but when the words came to her mouth, she turned it into a sigh. It's better to let them both handle the relationship between them. If she talks with them too much, it's not like they would listen to her. She paused and asked, "Do you remember how to cultivate?"

Wen Jiu put on a mentally retarded expression and looked at Li Luo blankly, shook his head and said, "I don't remember anything at all." (T/N: I can't stop laughing imagining his expression 😂😂)

Li Luo: "..."

It was an expected answer, but it made Liluo feel as if she has old blood in her heart and she wanted to cough it out, the second disciple who she had been teaching and training for a year didn't remember anything. What to do now?

There are only two things she can do, either give up on him or re-educate him.

Liluo's protection and care about her disciples is well known in the entire cultivation world, so in this situation, in Liluo's opinion, there is actually only one option - since he forget how to cultivate, then she will re-teach him again from point zero.

This is nothing, as long as her disciple is fine and still safe, then everything is fine.

Li Luo put her hand on her second disciple's pulse. Wen Jiu didn't know what his master wanted to do with her action, but he believed that no matter what happens, his Master would never try to harm him. So he kept his posture and waited. After a while, Li Luo put down her hand and said: "If you are not close to a person, you can never let them do what I did, you can let them do that only if you absolutely trust them."

Wen Jiu nodded, and then he looked at his his Master like he was a very obedient disciple, but in his heart he couldn't understand why his Master said that.

Li Luo glanced at the her disciple's usual silly face, and basically understood that Wen Jiu didn't understand what she was doing. She was not irritated, instead she kept that smiling expression, and explained to Wen Jiu: " I was checking your cultivation base just now, you will be able to feel the aura in your body when your cultivation base becomes higher, you will also be able to feel you spiritual power that's in your golden core. Therefore, under this situation just now..., I think it will not be easy to kill you."

"I see." Wen Jiu answered. A weak pu*** like him, who couldn't even be called a passerby, no one would want to kill him, right?

As he was thinking, he heard Li Luo's voice again and she said: "disciple, you should know that you can't be safe in this world. Even if you are harmless, those demon cultivators who use other people's cultivation to raise their own cultivation will still strike at you. No matter how low your cultivation base is, as long as you are an immortal cultivator, even if your cultivation is weak, it is possible to be taken as an object of an attack."

Wen Jiu: "..."

When he heard his Master say that, he immediately felt that this world was not as peaceful and easy as he imagined it to be.

"Master just checked your spiritual roots and spiritual energy, and there is no problem with it. Your current stage is still the same as before. The foundation stage." Li Luo said: "I will teach you how to practice and cultivate again, since you are in foundation base it should be easier for you to cultivate."

Words were easy to be said but actions were not easily done.

It was only when it was almost noon that Li Luo finally realized that no matter what his foundation is, his understanding and wisdom are a little slow.

She felt distressed, and Wen Jiu didn't feel much at ease . His Master told him , that he should sit on the ground cross-legged and take a deep breath, and then feel his breath, leave himself in an extremely relaxed state, as if everything in the world can't disturb him. In the end Wen Jiu thought 'cultivating in this world is really hard ah'. Li Luo only told him over and over to let himself in the state of meditation completely relaxing himself.

As for what he should do after that, Li Luo didn't tell him, and Wen Jiu didn't ask. They were both surprisingly consistent in their opinions on this matter -

Considering that Wen Jiu has done the first step very well without any problem today is already considered amazing, as for the second step, he doesn't know what to expect from it.
