Su Miaoqing had no idea what the guy with half a strange old man's soul was thinking.

She looked at Xiao Yifeng with a mischievous smile and quickened her pace.

Xiao Yifeng was no longer the clueless young man from his past life who didn't understand Breathing and Respiration Exercises. Along the way, he silently operated the Nine Volumes of Heaven-Inquiry to regulate his breathing.

Although he still found it quite strenuous to walk, at least he could keep up with Su Miaoqing without falling behind.

Su Miaoqing walked ahead, noticing that he seemed to be at ease, strolling leisurely.

She snorted softly, pouted, and surprisingly quickened her pace again.

She was at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and even a strong adult man wouldn't be her match, let alone Xiao Yifeng, this ordinary child.

Xiao Yifeng smiled wryly. How had he never noticed before that his senior sister was so crafty?

He had no choice but to quicken his pace to catch up. It was already exhausting, and speeding up made his breathing even more labored.

Ahead, Su Miaoqing heard his panting and smiled triumphantly, her steps becoming even lighter.

The path led to the mountaintop at the back of the mountain, to the Moon-Watching Platform.

But as Su Miaoqing walked faster and faster, Xiao Yifeng was already gasping for breath, panting like an ox.

Meanwhile, Su Miaoqing and Xiaobai were already leisurely walking ahead, watching him struggle.

Xiao Yifeng knew that this long climb was meant to train the physical bodies of new disciples, to strengthen and invigorate them.

It was also to allow disciples to sense the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth during the climb and adapt to the circulation of Qi within their bodies.

But it definitely wasn't meant for him to run himself ragged. Forget about sensing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth; it would be a miracle if he didn't collapse from exhaustion.

Thinking of this, with his mouth dry and throat burning, Xiao Yifeng steeled his heart.

He called out, "Senior Sister, wait for me, I can't keep up with you."

"Senior Sister, you're as light as a swallow, clearly a well-trained fairy. With my skinny arms and legs, please take care of me."

He finally understood that Su Miaoqing had a childish nature. Now that she had a little junior brother, she hadn't managed to scare him in the morning.

Now she was acting all high and mighty, trying to assert her senior sister authority. She was clearly displeased and was trying to make a point!

"Giggle... skinny arms and legs..."

Su Miaoqing laughed so hard she bent over, seeing Xiao Yifeng amusingly pinching his own arms while speaking.

After a while, she managed to straighten her face and said, "You make a good point. I wasn't considerate enough. I'll slow down a bit, you catch up."

With that, she turned with a smile, slowed her pace, and continued up the mountain with Xiao Yifeng.

Xiao Yifeng let out a long breath. He didn't want to stubbornly compete with Su Miaoqing; after all, she had cultivation on her side.

He quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister! Please walk slower, I'll work hard to keep up with you in the future."

Su Miaoqing tried to put on a senior sister demeanor, nodded, and said, "Yes! Work hard."

Xiao Yifeng sighed. Oh, how embarrassing, having to humor a little kid at his age.

Xiao Yifeng followed Su Miaoqing for an hour before finally reaching the Moon-Watching Platform.

There was a huge bluestone square here, and the tall and burly senior brother Xiang Tiange was already waiting.

His cultivation had reached a bottleneck, and Su Qianyi had him specifically teach the junior brothers and sisters, hoping to gain insights through teaching.

"Senior Brother Xiang!" they both said in unison.

Xiang Tiange nodded and smiled, "You two are quite fast, I thought you'd be a bit later."

Seeing the two arrive, Xiang Tiange began to teach them a set of sword techniques.

The sword technique wasn't complicated; Su Miaoqing had already learned it, and Xiao Yifeng had actually learned it too, but had forgotten most of it.

After watching it again, Xiao Yifeng said to Xiang Tiange, "Senior Brother, I've got it."

"Good, I'll lead you. Xiaofeng, pay attention to your Breathing and Respiration Exercises," Xiang Tiange instructed.

Xiao Yifeng and Su Miaoqing followed Xiang Tiange in practicing the sword technique, moving their limbs.

Xiang Tiange occasionally offered pointers, and this was their morning exercise.

After the exercise, Xiang Tiange transformed into a rainbow and flew away, waiting for them at the Boundless Hall.

Xiao Yifeng and Su Miaoqing couldn't fly, so they had to jog back to the Boundless Hall, leaving Xiao Yifeng, who hadn't exercised in a long time, utterly exhausted.

Back in the hall, Su Miaoqing ran back to her little building without looking back, presumably to freshen up and prepare for breakfast.

Xiao Yifeng also returned to his room, instructed Yue'er to prepare a bucket of hot water, washed off his sweat, and changed his clothes.

Soon, Yue'er came in to report, "Brother Yifeng, the Mistress has sent someone to invite you for breakfast."

She looked surprised, as if she couldn't understand why Xiao Yifeng had this honor on a non-training day.

Xiao Yifeng hurried to the dining room to have breakfast with Su Qianyi's family.

During breakfast, Su Qianyi asked a few questions about Xiao Yifeng's morning, and Su Miaoqing mischievously recounted Xiao Yifeng's struggles.

Xiao Yifeng felt extremely embarrassed, not daring to look Su Qianyi in the eye.

Even in a new life, he couldn't bear such humiliation.

He resolved to set aside grand ambitions for now and avoid further embarrassment.

Su Qianyi listened to his daughter's words but didn't scold too harshly, as Xiao Yifeng had just arrived on the mountain.

He instructed, "Xiaofeng, you must work twice as hard in the future."

Xiao Yifeng nodded repeatedly.

Lin Ziyun gently asked, "Xiaofeng, are you comfortable living here? If you need anything, just let your Master's Wife know."

This moved Xiao Yifeng beyond words. In his previous life, he had joined late, and his Master's Wife had always taken good care of him.

Regardless of past or present, his Master's Wife remained so kind to him.

He was moved to tears, almost crying, and quickly said, "I'm comfortable here, thank you for your concern, Master's Wife."

"You child, eat your meal," Lin Ziyun said, seeing his near tears, feeling even more compassionate.

Xiao Yifeng nodded, but secretly wondered why he couldn't even control his basic emotions.

He didn't realize that the original ten-year-old Xiao Yifeng was affecting his emotions. Though he had the memories, his soul had fused with the original Xiao Yifeng.

This caused his personality and habits to carry the traits of a child, with his mood fluctuating greatly.

After breakfast, Xiang Tiange took Xiao Yifeng to a side room.

Xiao Yifeng's morning lessons officially began, and Xiang Tiange solemnly said:

"Xiaofeng, as you've just entered our immortal sect, let me tell you about the basics of cultivation. Our sect's secret method is the Nine Volumes of Heaven-Inquiry, the foundation of our sect."

"Each volume of the Nine Volumes of Heaven-Inquiry corresponds to a level of cultivation."

"We cultivators are divided into nine realms: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, Elemental Infant, Soul Projection, Body Fusion, Void Shattering, Great Ascension, and Tribulation Crossing."

"Each realm is further divided into nine minor stages. Junior Brother, as a beginner, you must avoid impatience and proceed steadily!"

"Senior Brother, I understand," Xiao Yifeng nodded repeatedly.

"With so many cultivation sects, why do only our Heaven-Inquiry Sect, Mysterious Moon Palace, and Formless Monastery stand out? It's because we emphasize the foundation."

Xiang Tiange smiled and nodded, letting him sit at the table, first teaching him how to meditate and draw Qi into the body.

He then briefly explained the human meridians and the essentials of technique operation, finally imparting the cultivation methods of the first three volumes of the Nine Volumes of Heaven-Inquiry.

Although Xiao Yifeng already understood and was even more proficient in the first few volumes than Xiang Tiange, he couldn't let down his senior brother's sincere efforts, so he listened attentively.

Xiang Tiange, who loved to teach, saw Xiao Yifeng listening intently with his face propped on his hands and couldn't help but become enthusiastic, speaking at length.

From cultivation realms to the sect's situation, he explained the cultivation levels of various members.

Xiao Yifeng occasionally asked a few questions, greatly satisfying Xiang Tiange's enthusiasm for conversation.

Eventually, they even talked about various sect gossip and rumors.

Xiao Yifeng listened in astonishment, as if meeting his senior brother for the first time.

Who knew that beneath your tower-like exterior, you had such a gossipy heart...
