Chapter 55: Qin Qin: Hmm, Joining Master’s Discipleship Feels So Good!
“Elder Qi, I forgot to tell you something.”
Under everyone’s gaze, Chu Feng smiled brightly and said, “From beginning to end I never intended to accept Ling Zitong as a disciple.”
“It’s just that someone asked me who I favored more between Ling Zitong and Kuang Sandao, so I picked that kid.”
“This isn’t even past the probationary period, yet you’re rushing to take a disciple.”
“You’ve let me get a huge bargain—thank you, Elder Qi.”
With that, he led Qin Qin away amidst the crowd’s complex looks.
Once they were out of sight, Elder Qi sneered, “So it was Chu Feng playing me like this.”
“You really think such a cheap trick could fool me?”
“Zitong, don’t let his words get to you.”
“Your future achievements will definitely surpass that qingguan person.”
Ling Zitong: “......”
My master would never comfort someone like this.
A qingguan person? Of course I should be stronger.
News of the conflict at the academic office spread quickly.
Everyone began to debate who would achieve more, Ling Zitong or Qin Qin.
Almost everyone believed Ling Zitong would crush Qin Qin.
A few thought Qin Qin had great potential.
But none of this affected Qin Qin.
In the Miscellaneous Dao Institute courtyard, Qin Qin stared at the silent yard in disbelief.
In her memory, the Academy should be bustling.
Even without disciples, there should be servants or attendants.
But on this mountain there were only her and Master.
“Master, what about the two senior brothers you mentioned?”
Chu Feng smiled, “Chen’er went down the mountain for experience.”
“As for Da Qian, he went to train with his clan’s ancestor.”
“They should return in about a month.”
“Oh.”
Qin Qin felt a bit disappointed.
She had never heard of the Miscellaneous Dao Institute before.
She worried that after joining she might never avenge her family.
Perhaps she should test Master?
Seeing her mood sink, Chu Feng smiled, “You’ve followed me so long; you must be tired.”
“Find a courtyard to settle in.”
“We lack everything here except living space.”
Oh no, I’ve sworn to the wrong sect.
Qin Qin felt a chill in her heart.
But since she was here, she didn’t want to miss any chance to grow stronger.
As long as she stayed at the Academy, she would soon learn supreme methods.
“Master, I want to cultivate now to avenge my family and junior disciples as soon as possible!”
Chu Feng smiled, “Revenge need not be rushed.”
“What you must do now is decide which cultivation path to take.”
“Huh?”
Qin Qin was stunned.
Why was Master getting more unreliable?
Shouldn’t he tell me which method to practice?
She decided to gamble.
“Master, I want to cultivate ocular techniques.”
Chu Feng nodded, “You’re indeed suited to ocular techniques.”
“Judging by your Zither Dream Technique, your spiritual perception exceeds that of ordinary Dao Foundation cultivators.”
“This is related to your innate dual pupils.”
“I’ll write up a cultivation method for you now.”
“Come back tomorrow after the sun is high to collect it.”
“This…”
Qin Qin didn’t know what to say and almost cried.
What kind of Master had she chosen?
Why was he so unreliable?
“I will obey.”
Chu Feng watched Qin Qin leave, a thoughtful expression on his face.
What kind of ocular technique should he grant her?
Such methods were rare even in his previous life.
He returned to his private courtyard, sipping tea and pondering the dual-pupil awakenings and cultivation methods he knew from his past life.
After all, Qin Qin was born with dual pupils and had once unknowingly used their power.
Compared to those novices, Qin Qin has her own strengths.
Time ticked away second by second.
Several hours later, Chu Feng instinctively looked up at the sun about to set.
He immediately made a decision in his heart.
He would use the method of observing sun and moon to aid his disciple’s cultivation.
This method could also be applied to observing anything perceptible—holy statues, mystical seals, and so on.
The most important aspect of this method is observation, and it must not be paired with imagination.
Imagination and observation differ in nature.
Imagination is the postnatal mind’s various images and surface reflections.
The true image revealed by observation is fundamentally different and incomparable.
In other words, one must use a pair of dual pupils to observe the Dao.
Easier said than done.
Having clarified this, Chu Feng stood up and returned to his room.
He took brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.
At the top he wrote the characters “World‑Ending Eye Cultivation Method.”
“To practice this technique, one must first relax body and mind, eliminate distractions, and enter a state of tranquility.”
“When cultivating, remember: focus and concentrate, only observe and do not imagine, see through falsehood and comprehend the true essence of the Dao…”
He wrote over a thousand characters in meticulous detail.
Then he carefully reviewed them several times.
“Perfect. I’ve combined dual pupil cultivation methods from the fantasy novels and mythologies I read in my previous life—it’s foolproof.”
“This should fool that little girl.”
With that, Chu Feng gathered the papers.
He washed up and lay down contentedly.
The next noon, Qin Qin arrived at her master’s courtyard, her heart pounding with nervousness.
Chu Feng had just risen; seeing Qin Qin peeking into the courtyard, he smiled, “You little girl, why so shy now?”
Qin Qin bowed, “Disciple pays respects to Master.”
“No need for formality,” Chu Feng replied as he placed a stack of papers on the table.
“Disciple, I consulted hundreds of books last night and finally compiled your cultivation method.”
“Thank you, Master,” Qin Qin said.
When she saw the first page titled “World‑Ending Eye Cultivation Method,” she felt an irresistible urge to test if it was genuine.
Chu Feng warned, “Remember, this method carries great danger. Be cautious in your practice, and if anything is unclear, come ask Master.”
Qin Qin bowed slightly, “Disciple will remember Master’s teaching.”
Chu Feng said, “Go back and memorize the method.”
“Practice two hours at dawn, two hours at dusk, and two hours at night.”
“Cultivation brings joy, but do not overdo it.”
“Yes,” Qin Qin replied, clutching the papers as she hurried back to her courtyard.
Chu Feng watched her depart, a faint smile on his lips, “This little girl is quite eager to cultivate.”
Half an hour later, Qin Qin read the World‑Ending Eye Cultivation Method and drew a cold breath.
“This method is actually real!”
“The dual pupil cultivation process described here is hundreds of times stronger than the fragmentary method I once read.”
“How powerful must Master be to produce such a method in so short a time?”
“Mm, joining Master’s discipleship really feels so good!”
