Longevity Fairy: Sister, Please Wait A Little Longer

Chapter 12: 012: White Silk and the Heart-Nurturing Technique

With this thought in mind, Xiao Qingrou once believed that the role she needed to play was that of a young wife or daughter-in-law.

However, her parents disappeared, and Chu Bai's Spirit Vein was inexplicably damaged, so the two of them were brought back to Azure Cloud Sect.

For a long time, Chu Bai was taken away for treatment, while Xiao Qingrou became an outer disciple of Azure Cloud Sect. When they saw each other again, Chu Bai had already become a little boy who didn't like to talk.

From the damage to the Spirit Vein to the injury of the Spirit Vein, the sect had done its best.

As an orphan of the elders, Chu Bai could live in the inner sect.

Their parents had said that Xiao Changge had excellent aptitude for cultivation, but now his talent had fallen to the bottom, a gap that a child could not bear.

Xiao Qingrou then took on the responsibility of being an older sister.

However, not long after, Xiao Qingrou, who was in a different place, began to feel afraid. She was afraid that Chu Bai's body would have more problems and that he would forget about her.

So Xiao Qingrou practiced desperately, from the outer sect to the inner sect, from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the ninth level, becoming the first in the Grand Competition.

She could have joined Sword Peak, but she chose Medicine Peak instead, in order to refine pills that could repair the Spirit Vein.

Xiao Shijie had made up her mind that even if Chu Bai remained at the third level of Qi Refining for the rest of his life, she would stay by his side.

She was his older sister and should protect him from wind and rain.

Until over three months ago, Chu Bai was no longer the obedient younger brother in front of Xiao Shijie. It was as if time had gone back to that year when he stood with his hands on his hips, laughing heartily in front of two peak Gold Core experts.

"Sister, sister?"

"Huh?"

Chu Bai's call brought Xiao Qingrou's thoughts back from the memories of the years.

He smiled and said, "I asked you about the socks just now, why didn't you answer me?"

Xiao Qingrou responded with a soft "huh?"

Chu Bai leaned close to her small ear and repeated his previous words, "I said, last time I asked you to wear them, you didn't want to because they were too slippery. They're the silk stockings."

This was a very magical story. Chu Bai discovered that there were silk stockings in the world he lived in!

Such a good thing naturally made him think of his older sister. The last time they went down the mountain to sell medicine, Chu Bai bought a pair and gave it to Xiao Qingrou. But then Xiao Shijie reluctantly put them on and refused to let him see, saying that they were products of the Demon Dao and she wouldn't wear them again in the future.

But today, after admiring her slender and straight legs even though they were covered by long pants, Chu Bai noticed the silk stockings on her beautiful feet.

Xiao Qingrou's cheeks turned red again, and she tried to hide her feet under her skirt.

But how could she? She was now half-sitting in Chu Bai's arms, and there was nowhere to hide.

Chu Bai reached out, and Xiao Qingrou quickly pulled her feet back under his legs.

"Chu Bai, don't bully me."

Soft and tender, in stark contrast to the aloof image she had before they arrived at the medicine garden.

But Chu Bai said, "You come to flirt with me, but you won't let me bully you. Sister, you've become bad."

In this era, there was not much difference between the feet and other private areas. Even a touch or a glance was considered inappropriate.

In the past, even when he was a clueless child, Chu Bai would never have done anything to embarrass his older sister.

But now it was different. Chu Bai had the thinking and ideas of another world.

He believed that this was how love should be, and Xiao Shijie looked extremely cute at this moment.

Xiao Qingrou breathed softly, no longer daring to lean against Chu Bai's chest, but also afraid of making him angry and not daring to run away.

In the midst of her chaotic thoughts, she remembered something. She pressed a button on the pouch at her waist and held the jade slip that flew out from it. "Chu Bai, I found this by accident during a mission in the sect. It's a set of Qi Refining Stage cultivation technique called the 'Heart-Nurturing Technique.' It's said to have the effect of nurturing the Spirit Vein."

Nurturing the Spirit Vein.

Chu Bai immediately took the jade slip and pressed it against his forehead.

"Ding~"

Prompt: Yellow Rank high-grade cultivation technique, 'Heart-Nurturing Technique,' discovered. The system is automatically recording it.

After a while--

Prompt: The cultivation technique has been successfully recorded!

[The Art of Nurturing Meridians]: Yellow Rank High Level technique, no cultivation requirements, can be cultivated up to the eighth level of Qi Refining, has the effect of nurturing the Spirit Vein and nourishing the physical body.

Chu Bai looked back at [The Art of Forging Bones], a Yellow Level Middle Level technique that can be cultivated up to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The difference between the seventh and eighth levels is not significant; the key point is nurturing the Spirit Vein.

Nowadays, Chu Bai is protected by the luck of the Azure Cloud Sect, and although the repair speed of the damaged Spirit Vein is slow, it has been continuously repairing.

Chu Bai can feel this, and the feedback from daily cultivation is very intuitive.

"With the protection of luck and the nurturing of the Spirit Vein, the speed of my Spirit Vein's repair will definitely reach a new level!"

"MUA!"

With an even more forceful kiss, Xiao Qingrou's cheek was left with a mark.

There's no need to say much about gratitude. At the fourth level of Qi Refining, switching cultivation techniques shouldn't be too simple.

And, he has a system!

"Ding~"

Prompt: Do you want to replace [The Art of Forging Bones] with [The Art of Nurturing Meridians]?

Chu Bai silently said, "Yes."

Suddenly, the spiritual power in his Qi Sea became active, and countless scenes flashed before Chu Bai's eyes, showing the cultivation route of The Art of Nurturing Meridians.

In the first small cycle, Chu Bai felt warm inside.

He was still in a state of a damaged Spirit Vein, and although the pain feedback from the meridians during cultivation had lessened, it didn't mean it was completely gone.

However, when running the first small cycle of The Art of Nurturing Meridians, the pain was barely noticeable.

In the second and third small cycles, the pain accumulated, but it was still equivalent to the first small cycle of cultivating The Art of Forging Bones.

"What a great technique!"

Chu Bai praised in his heart and continued to cultivate.

Comparing the techniques to Spirit Medicine, the medicinal properties of [The Art of Forging Bones] can only be considered moderate, while [The Art of Nurturing Meridians] is gentle.

Chu Bai's Spirit Vein attribute is fire, so it is not conflicting with a gentle attribute technique.

Roughly calculating, his current basic cultivation speed has caught up to 70% of an ordinary cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Multiplying that by 1.5, no, Xiao Senior Sister is still here, so he can't temporarily use the Innate Cave Mansion.

"Wait a moment, I still have [Heavenly Origin Star Stone Fragments]!"

Chu Bai exhaled a breath and opened his eyes. It was already dark outside, and his Xiao Senior Sister was cutting vegetables on the chopping board.

Virtuous Wife and Loving Mother, tsk tsk tsk.

Chu Bai smiled and summoned that small black stone, giving it a firm squeeze—

"Ding~"

Prompt: Do you want to consume one [Heavenly Origin Star Stone Fragment] to upgrade [The Art of Nurturing Meridians] to [The Art of Nurturing Heart]?

Chu Bai confirmed!

Prompt: Congratulations, the upgrade was successful!

[The Art of Nurturing Heart]: Profound Rank Low Level technique, no cultivation requirements, can be cultivated to the perfection of Qi Refining, has the effect of nurturing the Spirit Vein, repairing damage, and nourishing the body and soul.

It's here, it's here! Repairing damage and nourishing the body and soul.

"Hahaha!"

Because he was too happy, Chu Bai couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing the sound, Xiao Qingrou, who was cooking outside the door, leaned over and asked, "What's wrong, Chu Bai?"

Chu Bai replied, "I've made up my mind. Tonight, I won't let Senior Sister go back to the Medicine Peak. I want to roll on the big bed with Xiao Senior Sister, I want to roll! On! The! Bed!"

Excessive joy leads to sorrow, and Chu Bai received a slap.

But the slap only landed on his shoulder and didn't have much strength.

Chu Bai was about to get up, but the Ice Fairy Xiao Qingrou turned and ran away.
