Unlocking The Easy Mode Of Cultivation After Getting Married

31 Chapter 31: Deng Taishan_1

At first, Zhao Xiaoxiao refused to eat chicken.

However, the chicken made by Brother Qin was simply too delicious!

“Woo~ Brother Qin, your cooking skill is amazing. I’ve never had such a tasty chicken before.” The younger sister gobbled up the chicken while hugging it.

On the side, Qin Changqing laughed, “This chicken grew up in the mountains, absorbing the essence of heaven, earth, sun, and moon. Eating it can be considered a great supplement and good for your body.”

“Oh, I never knew the brocade chickens on the mountain were so special. My senior sisters never told me. They said it doesn’t taste good.”

“That’s because they don’t know how to cook properly. The culinary arts are vast and profound, don’t underestimate them.”

Zhao Xiaoxiao deeply agreed.

But she was still a bit confused.

“Brother Qin, we are all cultivators. Won’t learning these things hinder your cultivation?”

“Not at all.” Qin Changqing shook his head, “Cultivation starts small and aims at the long term – it’s something we do for our entire lives. It’s too far away. We spend more than 200 years reaching

?

Foundation Establishment, and the Golden Elixir Stage takes even longer, more than 500 years. Little sister, have you ever thought about how lonely it will be on this long cultivation journey?”

Zhao Xiaoxiao was dumbstruck.

She had never truly thought about it before.

She was still young, only 20 years old, and already at Tier 3 of Foundation Establishment. Her talent could be seen clearly.

Ever since she was accepted into Taixuan Peak, she had been cultivating constantly. She didn’t have time to experience other things, and she didn’t know what else she could do besides cultivating.

As for the Golden Elixir Stage, it was too far away for her to consider at this time.

However, she eventually had to think about it.

“What do you think, Brother Qin?”

Zhao Xiaoxiao felt that Brother Qin seemed to understand the truth in these matters.

A mysterious and profound senior brother.

Qin Changqing said, “Persistence for a moment is easy, but persistence for a lifetime is hard. Diligent cultivation is not wrong, but everything requires balance. If one recklessly pursues cultivation, they might overreach themselves and end up with a loss.”

“Instead, why not do something else during your leisure time? It doesn’t have to be cooking. You can try gardening or raising fish. What do you think, Sister Zhao?”

Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded, “Brother Qin is right.”

“Of course, at the end of the day, it’s all about staying committed to one’s Dao heart by avoiding delusion, obsession, and greed. Speaking of which, there is an even better way that allows you to walk further and more interestingly on the path of cultivation.”

Zhao Xiaoxiao curiously asked, “What method?” 2

“Find a suitable and satisfactory Taoist couple and explore the great Dao together.”

Qin Changqing revealed his purpose.

He came to participate in the Sect’s Grand Competition for the purpose of choosing a Dao partner.

As for the junior sisters on Xuanyi Peak, they were not bad either, but considering that there were only a few of them on the peak, taking all of them down the mountain would not sit well with Qin Changqing.

After all, Mo Jiuzhou treated him like a teacher and father.

Thus, he decided to start with the other peaks first, and then see…cough cough.

“Utterly shameless!”

On the high platform, Lu Jingtian seemed to have seized an opportunity and complained to Liu Mengxian, “Sect Leader, look at this Qin Changqing! How outrageous, trying to court one of your disciples!”

The other Peak Masters remained silent.

However, they all looked at Mo Jiuzhou with sympathy.

Brother Mo, you taught your disciple too well. Did you think he would dare to flirt with the Sect Leader’s people?

Mo Jiuzhou stammered a few times, unsure of what to say.

“Sect Leader, actually…” he hesitated for a moment, but decided to give it a try, “A few years ago, Changqing went down the mountain for cultivation and entered the secular world. It’s inevitable that his worldly habits would be influenced. Please don’t blame him, Sect Leader.”

Liu Mengxian’s cold voice came: “He went down the mountain?”

“Yes, but not far, just in Heiyu Town. My disciple has a carefree nature. He enjoys unfettered freedom, and he seems to cultivate faster down the mountain than up.”

“How long has he been down the mountain?”

“Ten years.”

“Not bad.”

“Huh…huh?”

Mo Jiuzhou thought he had misheard.

Not bad? Did the Sect Leader just say ‘not bad”?

Was he praising Changqing?

Lu Jingtian and the others were also dumbfounded.

“Sect Leader, Qin Changqing, he…” Lu Jingtian was a little puzzled.

“He is considered quite good.” Liu Mengxian pondered for a moment but didn’t continue.

She decided to observe a bit more.

Meanwhile, in the Sect square.

Many other disciples who paid attention to the Grand Competition were also watching the situation in the secret realm.

Especially the three big characters ‘Qin Changqing at the top of the ranking board. He occupied the first place as soon as the competition began.

Each disciple who entered the secret realm had an initial score of 1000.

So when Qin Changqing got hold of the token from a Dan Peak disciple, his score immediately rose to 2000.

At that time, others who entered the secret realm were still figuring out the situation inside.

Many people began to pay attention to Qin Changqing.

Then they saw the scene of the senior brother and younger sister sitting side by side, eating the chicken together.

“Whoa! Who exactly is this Qin Changqing? He’s so strong!”

“You don’t know Brother Qin? He’s the eldest disciple under the Daoist Elder of Xuanyi Peak.”

“Oh? It’s him?”

“Brother Qin is elegant and aloof, truly a role model for us.”

The disciples of Xuanyi Peak stared at them intently, their necks stretched out.

For the first time, they discovered that Brother Qin was not only gentle but also super handsome!

However, even then, Zhao Xiaoxiao still refused Qin Changqing’s ‘sincere’ invitation.

After all, she still didn’t quite understand what a Dao partner was or what they were supposed to do.

Moreover, thus far, Zhao Xiaoxiao hadn’t felt any ‘loneliness on the long path of cultivation, so she had to politely refuse the gentle Brother Qin.

“No problem.” Qin Changqing didn’t feel discouraged, as he had expected this situation. It would be strange if it was that easy to succeed.

After all, if Zhao Xiaoxiao didn’t work out, there were still her senior sisters, right?

Thus, after Zhao Xiaoxiao refused, he didn’t bring it up again, but still shared his chicken with the cute junior sister.

Zhao Xiaoxiao thought that Brother Qin was truly a nice person.

Perhaps she didn’t want to find a Dao partner herself, but she could help introduce her senior sisters to Brother Qin.

Just then, a streak of light shot across the sky and stopped midair.

“Hmm?” The person riding the sword looked down at Qin Changqing and Zhao Xiaoxiao, frowning, “You guys are really bold, having the leisure to roast and eat chicken during the Sect’s Grand Competition.”

“Which junior brother are you?”

Qin Changqing looked up and asked.

“I am Deng Taishan, a disciple of Qingxuan Peak.”

“Oh, so it’s Junior Brother Deng. Pleased to meet you.”

Deng Taishan frowned, “You are…that Qin Changqing from Xuanyi Peak?”

“Yes, that’s me.”

“You can actually participate in the Grand Competition?” Deng Taishan scoffed, “No wonder even though you’re a senior brother with such good treatment, your cultivation is lower than your juniors. You put all your effort into useless things.”

“That’s not true, junior brother Deng. How can you be sure that it’s useless?”

“If it doesn’t help in cultivation, isn’t it useless then? As the senior brother, you should feel ashamed for being so useless!” 3
