Immortal Father-Chapter 99 - 45 Intended to Visit Mountains and Rivers [Vote for and Follow]
Just moments before, atop Caiyun Peak. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฃ๐ธ๐ซ๐ฎ๐.๐๐๐ถ
"Qing Su, elder sister, for a disciple like Pingโan, even if our master were to personally teach him, it would be extremely difficult."
"Indeed, Qing Su, my niece, Pingโan himself possesses too sharp a wit, his studies are too diverse. I have heard several elders within our sect discussing it on many occasions. In the arts of magical formations and the Path of Artifact Refining, Pingโanโs talent could be deemed the best among the current generation of Wanyun Sect disciples, yet these two are not your strong suits."
"Qing Su, we can all understand your concerns about not being able to teach Pingโan properly."
"Especially, elder sister Qing Su, Dazhi, our Ancestral Master, values his only son greatly. Dazhi, our Wealth Immortal, is someone whom all the Peak Masters of Wanyun Sect must show some respect to, not to mention he is also a person of Great Fortune, the opportunity of our sect for the future."
"Therefore, after much deliberation, we have jointly prepared this scroll of the holy text specifically for teaching disciples..."
Within her own cave abode.
Qing Su looked at the jade slip in her hand, her dao heart slightly stirred.
Had she just returned to Caiyun Peak because her own disciple was often blowing himself up and fainting, wanting to ask her master how to enhance her discipleโs Primordial Soulโs strength... wasnโt she?
Is her own disciple really so difficult to teach?
Qing Su reflected carefully, recalling every single moment she had spent with Li Pingโan over the past two years.
Her occasional guidance could lead Li Pingโan to contemplation on his own;
Her words of reminder would enable Li Pingโan to gain insight, and he would go into seclusion on his own;
What she could teach was merely "Wanyun Jue" and various Immortal Techniques used in Magical Combat, and with her instruction and her discipleโs own efforts, there had never been a problem of โnot being able to teachโ or โnot understandingโ.
Qing Su pondered while stroking her chin.
Could it be that she genuinely wasnโt cut out to be a master, which is why her uncles, elder sisters, and junior sisters on the peak had made such a pointed reminder?
โMy teaching methods should be correct,โ she thought.
Qing Su then checked Li Pingโanโs condition once more.
At that moment, Li Pingโan was still unconscious in his recliner.
This sort of unconsciousness was due to his Spiritual Sense not being retracted in time, being impacted and causing a shock to his Primordial Soul, just like an ordinary person being knocked out by a sudden blow, nothing too serious, and he would soon come around.
Her disciple had explained that for the past half year, he had been pondering over a set of Immortal treasures that didnโt require spending too much mana yet could exert fixed might by themselves.
To these, Qing Su didnโt have much understanding, nor did she restrict her disciple.
Li Pingโanโs unusual ideas were as numerous as the stars at night.
Although Li Pingโan spent quite a bit of time on Alchemy and Artifact Refining, his cultivation had never fallen behind, and as time went by, Qing Su let him indulge in those strange and eccentric artifact refining endeavors.
Qing Su moved to sit on another recliner, her clear eyes unable to hide any troubles, as she turned again to look at Li Pingโan.
In fact, there were some unusual aspects to her disciple as well.
For instance, Li Pingโan had experienced two instances where his cultivation had skyrocketed in these two years.
One was right after Li Pingโan completed his Foundation Establishment, he suddenly moved from the first tier of the Void Refinement Realm to the third tier;
The other was not long ago, when Li Pingโan went from the fourth tier of the Void Refinement Realm directly to the threshold of the sixth tier.
Qing Su had asked Li Pingโan why there was such an abnormal improvement in his cultivation, but Li Pingโan was evasive and did not clarify, even changing the subject.
This actually made Qing Su feel somewhat disappointed, thinking that her own disciple didnโt feel close to her and was unwilling to confide certain things to her.
โCould it be that Iโm truly not skilled in the ways of mentorship?โ
She doubted herself.
Qing Su pursed her lips lightly, holding the "Good Masterโs Path" in her hand, her crystalline fingertips tapping lightly, as row upon row of jade slips unfolded before her, the words upon them reflecting into her eyes.
โThe way of a teacher is not about form but about the heart. A teacher passes on the dao, imparts knowledge, and resolves doubts. A disciple inherits the dao, establishes a career, and branches out. The master and disciple relationship is all about this.โ
โAlthough the teacher is ahead in the path, the Path of Immortality is long, and it is not rare to see a disciple surpass his teacher. Therefore, both only differ in who is senior and junior, without any debate over who is superior or inferior.โ
โHuman Race Qi Cultivators take the teachings from masters and inheritance from disciples as the foundation to stand between heaven and earth. Since ancient times, when the Hundred Clans were fierce and the Human Race was weak, various sages followed the teachings of Ancestral Master, established schools, and propagated the Dao Fruit so that the methods of cultivation spread widely, and thus the Human Race thrived.โ
โThe sages said, "A discipleโs respect for their teacher is the principle of heaven and earth"...โ
These introductory hundreds of words flowed on eloquently without yet getting to the main point.
Qing Su was accustomed to this, whether it was the masterโs transmission of techniques or the various treasures and methods passed down by the elders of Caiyun Peak, they all liked to start by expounding some principles.
After finishing the preamble, Qing Su finally found the actual guidance.
Having read it carefully, she felt as if she had an epiphany.
This "Good Masterโs Path" was explaining how to be a master whom disciples would love and respect. Inside were not only various methods and numerous details but also the personal testimonies of various uncles, elder sisters, and junior sisters.
For example, this first point [A master should always care for their disciples] was followed by vivid memories.
โWhen I entered the sect in my youth and first paid respects to my master, my heart was both hopeful and anxious. It was a misty afternoon with light rain when, reading scriptures, I fell asleep on the bamboo mat by the window. As my master passed by, he covered me with a blanket and tucked in the corners. My heart instantly settled, and from that moment on, I had no barriers with my master, and my cultivation progressed smoothly all the way to the realm of an Immortal.โ
Qing Su put the jade slip on her lap, turned to look at Li Pingโan, and her bright eyes shone with an added brilliance.
Tucking in the blanket.
This wasnโt exactly difficult.
Could this really make the discipleโs dao heart more stable?
Qing Su rose and floated to the back hallโs bedroom, and when she returned, she carried a thin blanket embroidered with orchids, walking to where Li Pingโan lay in slumber.
