Chapter 22: Upgraded Once Again. Lei Jingyun Uses Soft Approach

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lei Jingyun wanted to ask Wan’er, “Was she serious when she said Jiang Ping was afraid of everything?”

Lei Jingyun could not associate Jiang Ping with the word “afraid”.

It would be great if Jiang Ping was really afraid of trouble.

If he was, perhaps he would have been able to lure Jiang Wan’er back to the Chuanyun Sect.

Wan’er didn’t know what he was thinking.

Right now, she just wanted to hurry up and cultivate. Her father was going to get up soon.

“Alright, old man, I’m going to continue cultivating. Don’t disturb me.”

“Also, don’t tell my father, or I’ll beat you up.”

After saying that, Wan’er pretended to be fierce and waved her small fists a few times.

Lei Jingyun was amused by her actions.

Wan’er ignored him and walked to one side of the yard, then she continued to cultivate the body tempering technique.

Lei Jingyun shook his head with a bitter smile and then started to clean the courtyard.

However, the corner of his eyes kept looking at Wan’er.

He was still thinking about this little girl, so naturally, he would not let anything happen to her.

So, he kept an eye on her. If there was anything wrong, he would immediately make a move.

With Lei Jingyun’s efforts, the courtyard slowly became much cleaner.

When the cleaning was almost done, Lei Jingyun decided to take a break.

His gaze naturally fell on Wan’er.

He was initially looking on with satisfaction.

However, in the next moment, he was completely stunned.

At first, Wan’er’s punches and palm strikes were natural and in tune with her Qi rhythm.

However, her face was flushed red, and her body was emitting wisps of white smoke.

A faintly discernible aura was emitted from her body.

Lei Jingyun looked at this scene in disbelief.

Body tempering was also divided into two realms, which were external tempering of the skin and flesh, and internal tempering of the tendons and bones.

Wan’er’s current appearance was clearly at the stage of internal tempering of the tendons and bones.

As long as she took another step forward and completed the bone tempering, her cultivation of the body tempering realm would reach completion.

At that time, she would be able to cultivate the mental cultivation method for Qi refinement, and it would be just a matter of time before she reached the refinement realm!

Thinking of Wan’er’s age, Lei Jingyun’s heart was in turmoil.

He had underestimated Wan’er’s talent.

With her talent, she might be able to enter the refinement realm in half a year.

Back then, he was in his twenties before he became a refinement realm cultivator.

It was really infuriating to compare himself to Wan’er!

Wan’er didn’t pay attention to Lei Jingyun at all.

She was focused on refining her cultivation technique and didn’t dare to be careless with any move.

But soon, she also realized that something was wrong with her.

She felt that her cultivating was getting smoother, as if she was about to have a breakthrough!

After finishing the set of movements, Wan’er took a deep breath.

The chaotic aura in her body gradually calmed down.

Her aura was restrained, and it was impossible to tell that she had just achieved a breakthrough.

Lei Jingyun knew that this was something that could only be achieved when one’s cultivation was very solid.

Wan’er really seemed a treasure trove, constantly surprising him.

It was impossible for any cultivator not to be attracted to such a treasure trove.

Lei Jingyun’s brows were tightly knitted together, and his heart was extremely conflicted.

Two images were interweaving in his mind.

One was of Jiang Ping fiercely chasing after him and beating him up, making him look extremely miserable.

The other was of Wan’er becoming the youngest origin core cultivator in the Tianyun Empire.

And as Wan’er’s master, he would be honored as a distinguished guest by all the major forces.

Lei Jingyun’s face changed back and forth, from livid to smug.

‘Damn it, I’m going all out!’

He hesitated for a long time and finally made up his mind.

‘I’m going all out. If I can’t use force, I can at least use a soft approach. As long as Wan’er is willing to be my disciple, I doubt Jiang Ping will object!’ Lei Jingyun thought.

Lei Jingyun narrowed his eyes, and a determined light flashed in his eyes.

Having made up his mind, he didn’t hesitate anymore.

He had to act as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Jiang Ping woke up, this would be over.

After all, he didn’t dare to fool his daughter in front of Jiang Ping.

Lei Jingyun rubbed his somewhat stiff cheeks and squeezed out a smile.

Then, he walked in front of Wan’er and said with a grin.

“Congratulation, Wan’er! You’ve broken through again.”

Wan’er’s eyes immediately lit up when she heard this.

“Old man, you can tell that I’ve broken through too?”

“Of course. I have this ability.”

Looking at Wan’er’s expression, Lei Jingyun knew that he had spoken the right words.

Sure enough, there was no one who did not like being praised.

“Wan’er, do you know the different cultivation realms?”

“Yes, my father said that I’m in the body tempering realm now, and the next realm is the refinement realm.”

Lei Jingyun nodded. The fact that she knew the cultivation realms made it much easier for him.

“Well, then do you know martial techniques?”

“Martial techniques?”

Wan’er stared at him with her big, curious eyes and tilted her small head in confusion.

“What is a martial technique?”

Looking at Wan’er, Lei Jingyun was delighted again. There was hope!

However, he put on a regretful expression and said with a frown.

“Alas, it’s a pity that there’s a flaw.”

“Martial techniques are battle moves that are indispensable for cultivation.”

“After learning martial techniques, you will become much stronger.”

Lei Jingyun tried to make it as simple as possible, but Wan’er did not seem to understand.

“How about this, I’ll show you.”

Lei Jingyun suddenly combined his fingers into a sword, and true Qi blossomed from his fingertip.

Then, he pointed at the stone pillar a few meters away.

As Lei Jingyun’s fingertip shook, stone chips began to fall off the pillar.

A moment later, the word “Wan’er” appeared out of thin air on the stone pillar.

Wan’er’s eyes sparkled like stars when she saw this scene.

“Wow! Old man, is this a martial technique?”

Lei Jingyun pinched his beard and said proudly, “That’s right. This is the Luoyun sword style, the martial technique of our Chuanyun Sect.”

“It uses your finger like a sword and it’s very powerful. You can carve characters in the air and hurt people at a distance!”

“How about it, Wan’er? Do you want to learn it?”

“Yes! I want to learn it!”

Wan’er was so excited that she almost jumped up.

If she could injure people at a distance, then she would use this move to beat people in the school in the future.

No one would be able to find out, hehe!

Lei Jingyun was very satisfied with her reaction and said with a smile.

“This Luoyun sword style isn’t considered a profound martial technique.”

“The Chuanyun Sect, which I’m a part of, has many more powerful martial techniques.”

“Apart from that, there are also many magical treasures and people who cultivate like Wan’er.”

“How about it? Wan’er, do you want to go to the Chuanyun Sect with me?”

“But my father won’t let me go, and I can’t bear to part with my father.”

Wan’er suddenly became a little disappointed, pouting and lowering her head.

Lei Jingyun thought for a moment and said, “You’re still young. It’s normal for your father to worry about you leaving.”

“But as long as you want to, I believe that your father will not stop you when you grow up.”

Wan’er did not have any reaction after hearing Lei Jingyun’s words.

She still lowered her head and looked disinterested.

Lei Jingyun immediately became anxious. He had just seen some hope, so he could not let it go so easily.

“Wan’er, how about this? I will teach you a set of martial techniques. Do you want to learn it?”

“Really?”

Wan’er suddenly raised her head and looked at Lei Jingyun with a smile.

Her eyes were full of anticipation.
