Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Fully Equipped, Back to the Pavilion!

Linghu Chu hurried to the backyard, first to check if the jars of wine buried underground had been dug up recently.

Then he went to the workshop, brought back a Flying Sword, and forcefully handed it to Luo Yan with a laugh, saying,

“Junior brother! You did very well. In the future, if junior sister tries anything with the wine jars in my backyard, you must notify me in advance!”

Luo Yan looked down and indeed it was the pink Flying Sword he remembered. His brows furrowed slightly, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Linghu Chu say,

“I figured you’d be heading to the Pavilion soon to participate in the trial, so I wanted to gift you this sword. This is the ‘Peach Blossom,’ a ninth-rank Wood System Flying Sword. I’ve refined it using the heartwood of millennia-old peach trees along with poisonous swamp gas as auxiliary materials. Not only can it poison flesh and blood, but it can also taint magical treasures, which I thought would be most suitable for your gentle and modest nature.”

Big brother, do you have some misunderstanding of the phrase “gentle and modest”?

Speechless, Luo Yan could only solemnly accept the gift, thank his senior brother, and then take his leave.

After saying goodbye to Linghu Chu, Luo Yan planned to borrow the Heaven-flipping Seal from Shi Liuli.

Miss Shi was currently in an empty room at Yuqing View with her senior and junior sisters, setting up the surrounding environment.

Upon seeing Luo Yan coming, Miss Shi pulled him over and, without explanation, stuffed a test paper and writing materials into his hands,

“Junior brother, you’ve come at just the right time! Try out the exam for the new members of our society and see how many points you can score?”

So, you have to take an exam to join your fan club? Luo Yan thought wearily.

Such a trashy society should close down sooner rather than later.

He sighed and looked at the test paper, the first question read:

What are the most attractive traits of Qiu Changtian (list at least ten)?

Luo Yan barely suppressed the urge to tremble and vomit blood as he continued to read the second and third questions:

What is your favorite quote from Qiu Changtian?

What is Qiu Changtian’s favorite color?

Scrolling further down, the questions were similar, about sixty or so in total.

Luo Yan:

As he shamefully wrote his answers, Shi Liuli found a moment to lean over, glanced at his paper, and said,

“Qiu Changtian’s favorite color is sky blue! You got that wrong, didn’t you?”

What I like is the deep blue of the Sky Throne! How could that guy like a sky blue that leans towards green?!

Luo Yan, with an expressionless face, crossed out the answer and rewrote “sky blue,” only to hear Shi Liuli, looking at his test paper, continue to say,

“His favorite quote is ‘Emerging from Kunlun, united by justice’… haha, most people write this one. The attractive traits of Qiu Changtian… you answered well, but you missed one thing, that although he is high above, he is also approachable, and it’s this seemingly contradictory contrast that is central to his charismatic personality…”

Luo Yan suppressed the severe urge to vomit and corrected the entire test paper according to Miss Shi’s suggestions.

Shi Liuli then picked up the test paper, put it away with satisfaction, and said,

“Well done, junior brother. From today onwards, you are the sixteenth official member of our ‘Changtian Society’.”

Luo Yan replied woodenly,

“Okay, sister. Also, I would like to borrow the Heaven-flipping Seal.”

“What do you need the Heaven-flipping Seal for, is it for the Pavilion trial?” Shi Liuli took out the Heaven-flipping Seal and passed it over readily, “Here you go.”

Luo Yan took it in surprise and asked,

“If you give me the Heaven-flipping Seal, what will you use for the Pavilion trial?”

“Third Sister has made me a replica of the Divine Smiting Whip, the Divine Striking Whip, which is much more useful than the Heaven-flipping Seal,” Shi Liuli replied.

Luo Yan didn’t know what kind of expression to show to this little rich girl, so he just responded with a strained smile.

After bidding farewell to Shi Liuli, Luo Yan went to the other shops in the Taoist temple, buying a large number of Talisman Scripts and Elixirs.

In the end, he took out the “Life-commanding Mirror” that his third senior sister Liang Ruohua had given him last time and carried it with him.

All set, fully armed!

“Ah Jing! Anything else that needs to be prepared?” Luo Yan asked in his mind.

The Kunlun Mirror remained silent for a moment, then started to play the scenes it had recorded earlier in the Pavilion.

There’s even a little film? Luo Yan was thrilled and hurriedly rewatched the whole process.

During his trip to the Pavilion, Luo Yan had used a total of five battle techniques.

The first, the Ninth Rank Wood System Flying Sword “Peach Blossom”.

The second, the Heaven-flipping Seal.

The third, a large quantity of Flame Rush Talismans.

The fourth, the Grass-U White Descending Elixir.

The fifth, the Life-commanding Mirror.

Wait, that’s not right, there was another one: it was the Shushan Sword Technique “Unity of Body and Sword” he had used to kill the incarnation of Emperor Shitian in the Four Kings Asura Land.

So, Luo Yan reloaded a save and went back to Ling Yunpo, without telling Senior Sister An about his advancement to the Marrow Cleansing Rank, he first absorbed the Green Duckweed Sword into his body to “nourish the sword with his body,” then he practiced Unity of Body and Sword for several days, and initially mastered the technique skillfully.

Then he reloaded the save and returned to Luo Yan’s side, beginning preparations for the trip to the Pavilion.

Soon, the day the Pavilion opened arrived.

On Penglai’s side, at Yuqing View, a large number of dragon boats and shuttles were prepared, carrying the disciples to meet with Kunlun in the open sea.

To avoid meeting Qiu Changtian, Luo Yan locked himself inside the cabin the whole time, rehearsing again and again the lines and expressions he would need to use later on.

As a result, his senior brothers and sisters seemed to have misunderstood, seeing Miss Shi eagerly chatting with Qiu Changtian and thinking Luo Yan had been through a heartbreak, thus coming to comfort their junior brother.

Luo Yan could only deal with them one by one through the cabin door, placating each in turn.

Soon, the moment the Pavilion opened arrived, and Miss Shi hurried over, knocking on the door from outside:

“Junior Brother! The Pavilion has already opened, hurry up and come out!”

“Oh,” Luo Yan checked his equipment one last time, then got up, opened the door, and went out, only to be grabbed by Shi Liuli, who pulled him to the side of the ship and jumped towards the rainbow light outside.

Her hand was soft and slippery, causing him to be slightly distracted, but soon he was pulled by Shi Liuli into the splendid palace gate, whirling around, and then they were teleported away.

Luo Yan opened his eyes in the secret realm.

He looked at the stunned Qiu Changtian next to him.

In his field of vision, the little assistant of the Kunlun Mirror activated the teleprompter, revealing the lines he needed to read before his eyes.

“Don’t panic, just listen to me,” Luo Yan said expressionlessly, “I am you from a future timeline.”

“To be precise, I am you who had completely cleared the Pavilion and left, returned to the cabin on the ship outside, and immediately reloaded Luo Yan’s save.”

“I have come here to help you resolve an imminent disaster.”

“You can verify my identity through the Kunlun Mirror because I have one too.”

The Qiu Changtian opposite him fell silent for a moment; it seemed he was communicating with the Kunlun Mirror in his Sea of Consciousness.

Then, he showed a helpless expression that read “you’re really half-assing this read.”

After finishing the rest of the lines, Luo Yan set off on Sword Light, taking Qiu Changtian with him as they proceeded forward.

The Kunlun Mirror’s little assistant timely produced an electronic map, guiding Luo Yan towards the direction of the Ghost Gate.

Arriving at the Ghost Gate, Luo Yan explained dully for a few sentences, then with a strike of Jade Pivot Thunder, he knocked the Soul Hooking Envoy over.

The two of them turned into Sword Light and entered, instantly passing through the Ghost Gate and rushing in the direction of the River of Forgetfulness.
