Chapter 149: Morning Practice Delayed
"Hmm, nothing\'s like fresh tea in the morning under the shade of a tree." He muttered to himself while walking towards the spatial portal for the training ground.
Wherever the disciples saw him walking, they would point their fingers toward him and murmur among themselves.
But Shen Yuan didn\'t pay attention to the disciples; instead, he continued walking toward the Spatial Portal, which he soon reached.
There the same guards looked at him and smiled politely with respect, Shen Yuan also smiled and politely nodded his head back.
One of them stepped towards him and spoke with an excited smile, "Your speech was really something yesterday, Senior Brother Shen Yuan. Give me some private lessons as well."
She spoke while leaning forward, her breast pressed against her arm which created quite an erotic sight as Shen Yuan could really see her pink buds from the top of her disciple\'s robes.
But he soon shook his head with a smile. "I\'m undeserving of your praise, I merely speak what came to my mind. You can look for me some other time, I need to go and get my cultivation technique today so I can start training in it."
The female disciple raised her face in confusion, "Cultivation techniques of our sect? You? Aren\'t those techniques supposed to be only for females?"
Shen Yuan\'s lips twitched as he wryly shook his head, "Matters not, I just want to take a glance at the technique to see how it is."
He spoke as he took out a pouch of spirit stones and handed them to her, she took the spirit stones and made way for him to enter the portal.
"We will meet again soon!" she called behind him, making him shake his head with a smile as he waved goodbye.
He felt the familiar spatial laws surround him again, this time with much more clarity but he still fell short by a little. His feet landed on the ground as he looked behind him at the portal, "I feel like I\'m so close to comprehending the space intent, I will probably need a few more teleportations before I can successfully master it."
He felt excited thinking about mastering the space intent, after which he would be able to teleport around to his heart\'s desires.
"Hehe~ I can mistakenly teleport into the bathroom of a nearby disciple while learning how to control it, even though bathing is no longer required for most cultivators, female cultivators still like to take baths almost daily." He thought with an evil grin on his face.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations host for acquiring a new title.]
[New Title-Pervert]
"..."
Shen Yuan was speechless looking at his new title, not thinking Yue Lan would give him a new title for merely a joke.
He chuckled softly, "Matters not, only I can see my titles, so no matter what you add it won\'t affect me."
Yue Lan\'s lazy yet mocking voice reverberated inside his head,
[For now, that is.]
"..." Shen Yuan decided to ignore Yue Lan for now as he knew arguing with her was a losing battle.
When he finally reached the promised location where he and Wan Ling were supposed to meet up, he saw her training there diligently, her actions were precise at times, but clumsy at others.
He smiled, looking at her cute, innocent face as she practiced with a serious expression. Her focus was entirely on refining her technique, so much so that she didn\'t notice Shen Yuan who was standing behind her a few meters away.
"Good morning, Wan Ling." Shen Yuan greeted with a cheerful voice, looking at her with a smile.
Wan Ling blinked her eyes as her actions paused, but she soon smiled brightly as she turned around, looking at Shen Yuan with excitement, "Senior Brother Shen Yuan! You really came."
Shen Yuan smiled and came towards her, "What did you think? That I would leave you hanging and won\'t come?" He patted her head after arriving in front of her,
Wan Ling closed her eyes in enjoyment as she replied, "Hehe, I really thought that, after all, even in the past people have done that many times."
Shen Yuan chuckled softly, "Anyways, looks like our training will be delayed a little today, I need to get my cultivation technique from the sect. You want to come with me to collect it?"
Wan Ling\'s eyes lit up in excitement at the offer, "You want me to go with you? I\'d love to! I have only been to that part of the sect once or twice when I joined to take my cultivation techniques. It will be a good opportunity to learn more for me as well."
Shen Yuan chuckled softly looking at her eagerness, "Good. Let\'s go then. It\'ll take some time to go there even with the portals due to the walking distance as well."
Wan Ling nodded her head enthusiastically, and the two of them began making their way towards the Outer Sect\'s Library.
As they walked, Shen Yuan noticed Wan Ling occasionally sneaking glances at him, though she seemed too shy to ask any questions.
"Is something on your mind?" Shen Yuan asked casually, glancing at her from the corner of his eye as they continued walking.
Wan Ling fidgeted slightly before finally speaking, "I was just…curious, Senior Brother. You\'ve only been in the sect for such a short time, but you seem so much more knowledgeable and powerful than most of us. I heard that the rogue cultivators are generally a lot weaker than even the lower-level sects and from what I know, you were not in any sect before joining our sect.
How did you get so strong?"
Shen Yuan chuckled lightly at her question, "Everyone\'s path in cultivation is different. I\'ve had my fair share of challenges and experiences that have helped me grow and learn a lot about this world. Strength comes from perseverance and an understanding of your own limits—and then breaking those limits to surpass yourself."\\\\
Wan Ling listened intently and nodded as if trying to absorb every word that he said, "I\'ll remember that, Senior Brother. I really admire your wisdom and knowledge."
She praised Shen Yuan from the bottom of her heart, feeling as if he had become even bigger in her eyes.
And soon, they reached the Outer Sect\'s library, where disciples could get both martial and cultivation techniques of the sect at a price for some time.
The building was grand, with intricate designs carved into its walls, signifying its importance to the sect. Disciples were walking in and out of the building carrying various manuals, tomes, and other such things
"Here we are." Shen Yuan said, stopping right in front of the entrance as Wan Ling raised her head to look at how big the library was.
