Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 419 - 416: Senior Sister, Don’t Move - I Will Impart to You the Supreme Mystic Arts
Luoluo stretched out her tender little hand to cover her eyes, peeping at her Senior Sister Li's entanglement with Senior Brother Qin through her fingers.
That's right, entanglement.
Originally, Li Miao Zhen had been using the back of her White Tiger Saber to smack a few blows on the fleshier parts of Qin Feng's body as punishment. However, how could Qin Feng willingly endure the hits? Even though his relationship with Li Miao Zhen was quite good, he couldn't just take a beating for nothing!
So, he reached out to grab the wrist of Li Miao Zhen's saber-wielding hand, stopping her from recklessly employing the White Tiger Saber.

Otherwise, with his Azure Dragon Dao Body's strength, even after being hit by Li Miao Zhen's White Tiger Saber, he would still feel pain that made him grimace.
After Li Miao Zhen's wrist was caught by him, she instinctively pushed with her left hand, only to have Qin Feng capture that hand as well.
With Qin Feng holding her hands, the two of them were face-to-face, uncomfortably close. Seeing Luoluo peeking through her fingers made Li Miao Zhen realize something was not right.
Li Miao Zhen struggled twice but couldn't free her hand and thought Qin Feng was trying to take advantage of her again. She suddenly remembered how, back in the Red Flame Demon Realm, this little punk seemed to have been a bit too handsy when riding her White Tiger. She felt a mix of embarrassment and anger surge within her. Fueled by these emotions, she put some strength into her hands, broke free from Qin Feng's grasp, and immediately counter-grabbed his arm, following with a fierce stomp on the top of Qin Feng's foot.
If it had been just a simple stomp, it would have been alright. But Li Miao Zhen, who was now highly skilled in cultivation, had reached the peak of the Golden Core Realm after a few years. Moreover, her White Tiger Dao Body was more adept at combat compared to Qin Feng's Azure Dragon Dao Body. At that moment, she concentrated the Geng Metal Power inside her into threads, which bore directly into the meridians on the top of Qin Feng's foot, causing him to scream in excruciating pain.
Although Li Miao Zhen controlled the force of her kick to avoid causing any actual injury, the pain still caused Qin Feng's body to shiver in an instant. His grip on her arm loosened, and he instinctively extended his hand forward to push her away.
But when he felt a soft clump in his hand, he realized he had pushed the wrong place.
"Qin Feng!"
Li Miao Zhen was fuming.
With her character, she didn't usually fuss over the proprieties between the sexes.
However, after interacting with Qin Feng for a while, she inexplicably started to guard against this young man. Now, looking at where Qin Feng had grabbed her, she was overcome with irritation and lifted her leg, delivering a vicious low blow towards Qin Feng's abdomen.
Qin Feng was startled by this, "Senior Sister, go easy on me, I haven't cultivated the ability to regenerate limbs yet…"
Saying this, he ignored the pain and clamped his legs together, tightly trapping Li Miao Zhen's leg between them.
"...Let go!"
Li Miao Zhen glared at him, infuriated, and Qin Feng hurriedly released her leg.
"I meant your hand!"
"…"
Only then did Qin Feng realize his hand was still on Li Miao Zhen, and he shuddered in horror, quickly retracting it, "Senior Sister...that, I didn't mean to, you have to believe me."
"I believe you."
Li Miao Zhen earnestly nodded, even sheathing her White Tiger Saber back into its scabbard.
Seeing this, Qin Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could fully relax, Li Miao Zhen's expression changed, "Even if I believe you, you're not getting out of today's beating!"
Before her words had even finished, Li Miao Zhen swung her fists wildly, attacking Qin Feng's head and face.
Her offensive was like a torrential tide, her hands as fast as lightning, fists blurring into a continuous stream. Since Qin Feng felt guilty and dared not fight back, he ended up being chased around the rocks for several laps by Li Miao Zhen. When she finally vented her frustration and stopped, Qin Feng was almost beaten into a pig-headed mess.
"Senior Brother Qin, that hurts, doesn't it?"
Looking at Qin Feng's pitiful state, Luoluo asked.
"It's okay, it's okay, I made a mistake, so it's only right for Senior Sister to punish me."
Qin Feng's acknowledgement was earnest, making Li Miaozhen feel a bit more at ease inside.
She looked at the miserable state of Qin Feng and thought perhaps she shouldn't have been so heavy-handed, but before this thought could settle, she saw a flash of white light envelop Qin Feng, and then the bruises and swelling on his face visibly faded at an astonishing speed. In just a few blinks, Qin Feng had returned to his former appearance.
Except for his somewhat disheveled hair and clothes, he looked almost unchanged from before.
"Wow, Senior Brother Qin is so amazing."
Luoluo clapped her little hands in admiration. "If those brothers from the White Tiger Lineage had your divine powers, they wouldn't have to endure looking like swollen pigs for so long after being beaten by Senior Sister."
"Hmph!"
Li Miaozhen gave him a glance. "It seems I was too lenient with this beating. Knowing you've had quite some fortune over these years, I didn't expect your self-healing divine power to have cultivated to this extent. Had I known, I should have hit you harder just now."
Her bright eyes narrowed slightly. "It seems that you have also cultivated your Azure Dragon Dao Body quite well, able to easily withstand my punches without fear of injury. How about we fight another round? I want to see how capable you are now!"
"No, no, no!"
Qin Feng was startled by her eager appearance.
Li Miaozhen was a true battle fanatic. Back in the day, she could overcome all disciples of the Outer Sect's one hundred and eight peaks with her own strength, not because of her cultivation. There were many whose cultivation was much stronger than hers at the time.
What truly made her formidable was her strong and indomitable will to fight, along with her keen battle awareness, which was sharp to the extreme. Whether it was cultivators of the same realm or those with deeper cultivation than hers—even those significantly stronger than her—would ultimately fall to her insane combat instincts.
And once she entered the Inner Sect, she continuously challenged all peer geniuses of the nine lineages, even Lianxing, the True Disciple of the Creation Lineage who was once considered the most unfathomable of the younger generation, couldn't avoid her challenges.
These years, honing herself against various masters of the Demon Clans in the Red Flame Demon Realm, don't assume that just because her cultivation realm isn't much higher than Qin Feng's that he'd stand a chance fighting her. Without summoning his Spiritual Beast, without transforming into a Rock Giant and relying solely on his cultivation and Azure Dragon Dao Body to fight her, Qin Feng was certain that he stood no chance against Li Miaozhen.
Even if he summoned the White Dragon, it wasn't necessarily a sure win.
He could have a Purple Mansion Realm Spiritual Beast, and with Li Miaozhen's fierce combat strength and her never-say-die attitude, it wasn't impossible for her to subjugate a Purple Mansion Demon Beast.
Moreover, perhaps it was because he had recently comprehended the Gold Element Principle that he was particularly sensitive to such Laws and could sense a similar power of Laws coming from Li Miaozhen. This meant that at most he only had one or two more Laws that he had just begun to grasp compared to her. Beyond that, he really had no edge.
So if he dared fight with Li Miaozhen, unless he used all his trump cards and fought desperately, defeat was almost guaranteed.
Since it was a fight where getting beaten was certain, he sure didn't want to engage in it.
Especially not with Li Miaozhen.
Even if she knew how to hold back her strength, only those who had been punched by her fair fists knew how heavy they were and how painful it was to be hit by them.
So, Qin Feng simply conceded defeat: "How could I, junior brother, possibly be a match for Senior Sister? Let's skip the fight."
"Don't be afraid, I'll be gentler with you."
As she spoke, she clenched her fist lightly, and a series of crisp cracking sounds followed.
"Senior Sister, stop joking, gentleness has nothing to do with you!"
Seeing Li Miaozhen about to charge over, Qin Feng quickly stepped behind Luoluo and lifted her small body up, using her as a shield.
"Hmm?"
Li Miaozhen's fierce eyebrows knitted slightly, and her bright eyes narrowed, conveying a dangerous intent. At the same time, a vague aura enveloped Qin Feng, firmly locking onto him.
"Uh…"
Qin Feng realized he might have misspoken, cradling Luoluo in his arms with a coy smile on his face, "Luoluo is always so loyal. Hurry and plead with your Senior Sister on my behalf."
"Okay."
Luoluo glanced at him a few times, nodded obediently, then wriggled out of his embrace and flew behind Li Miaozhen, "Senior Sister, don't hit too hard!"
Qin Feng's mouth twitched. Is this your idea of pleading for me?
Luoluo giggled. She used to love watching Li Miaozhen challenge the fellow disciples at White Tiger Ridge, especially when someone dared to underestimate her and end up with a beaten and bruised face, she would be thrilled to no end, almost wishing to jump into the fray herself.
Li Miaozhen moved like a large agile cat, and with a light leap forward, she was already in front of Qin Feng.
Just as she raised her hand to strike, Qin Feng quickly parried and said hurriedly, "Senior Sister, hold on, I have already begun to grasp the Gold Element Principle and managed to condense the Divine Power for refining and extracting Golden Qi from iron. I didn't know you were coming back before this, and now that we have met, my joy is overwhelming. Let me share with you the 'Chewing Iron Great Method' I've created."
"You've grasped the Gold Element Principle already? That fast?"
Li Miaozhen was somewhat surprised but then her eyes shone with fighting spirit, and she said excitedly, "Then it's just perfect for us to verify our understanding of the Principles through combat. I'll learn it after we fight!"
"No, no, no!"
Qin Feng, feeling helpless, once again caught her wrist, "Do you take me for one of those highly cultivated Supreme Elders? The energy required to condense a Divine Power Seed and transmit it to you is enormous. If you really beat me up, where would I find the strength to pass it on to you?"
"Oh, not today, so some other time."
Li Miaozhen seemed easygoing.
"Don't say that, there's a great battle approaching at the Sect, and I need some time to recover. You can't expect me to fight the Demon Sect's followers in poor condition, can you?"
Qin Feng said with a worried frown, "After all, the Demon Sect is a Great Force with such a long inheritance, they have deep roots. If something goes wrong, who knows how long the battle might drag on? Surely, you don't want to wait until the campaign against the Demon Sect is over before I teach you, right?"
"…Fine then."
As a battle-crazed True Disciple, Li Miaozhen was well aware of the Sect's looming plan to encircle and suppress the Demon Sect. So after hearing Qin Feng's words and though itching for a fight with him, now transformed into the Azure Dragon Daoist Body, she didn't press him further for a duel.
As for learning Qin Feng's Divine Power after the battle with the Demon Sect, that didn't match her personality at all.
She was the type whose strength grew with each battle, and engaging the Demon Sect's cultivators was an ideal time for her to improve. She didn't want to miss out on learning such a unique Divine Power when she was progressing the fastest.
Especially now, as she was at a critical stage in understanding the arcane mysteries of the Principle. If Qin Feng's 'Chewing Iron Great Method' were added to her arsenal, it would undoubtedly make her comprehension of the Power of Laws even more intricate.
She didn't want to end up like previous True Disciples, confined by merely following the path of 'White Tiger Divine Technique.' If she did, it would become a barricade in her eventual quest for Proving Dao.
Now, she had two more options to consider, directions in which to possibly develop her skills.
Although she loved to fight, she wasn't mindless. Otherwise, she wouldn't have reached such a level in cultivation. Most of her energy went into battle or matters related to it, which often made her seem carefree in other areas.
Qin Feng relaxed, "As long as you agree, Senior Sister, let's head back to the Cave Mansion, and I'll promptly teach you the Supreme Method."
"It's just a Divine Power you've realized on your own. What makes it a Supreme Method?"
Li Miaozhen rolled her eyes gracefully, then extended her leg and kicked him, "Still daring to hold onto my hand, believe it or not, I'll beat you for real?"
"I forgot, forgot, heh heh…"
Qin Feng let go of the jade hand he once again held without noticing and turned to Luoluo, who looked disappointed, obviously bored for not having witnessed a thrilling fight, "Let's go, you little traitor. Are you heading back to White Tiger Ridge on your own, or do you want to return with your Senior Sister after I teach her the Supreme Method?"
"I'll go with Senior Sister."
Luoluo didn't fancy going back early to recite Daoist Books.
"Then you'll have to entertain yourself for a while, as I need to spend some time alone with your senior sister when I'm imparting the technique."
"Alone?"
Luoluo blinked her big, grape-like eyes in confusion, "Can't I watch from the side?"
"No."
Qin Feng shook his head, "I haven't completely deduced that divine power into an inheritance, nor do I have the time and energy to focus on deducing divine powers right now. I can only condense a divine power seed through the power of laws to pass on to Senior Sister Li. During this process, I can't afford the slightest disturbance."
"Oh, Luoluo will be very well-behaved and won't make trouble for you."
Luoluo put on an obedient face, though her shifty, glistening eyes suggested otherwise, making Qin Feng doubt whether the girl had some other intentions.
However, since he had strong prohibitions within his cave mansion, he wasn't worried about actually being disturbed by Luoluo, so he nodded, "Alright then, you'd better stay in my cave mansion and play by yourself."
As they spoke, Qin Feng led the two towards his cave mansion.
Looking at Qin Feng's newly built cave mansion, Li Miaozhen casually observed, "It's quite exquisite, almost like the boudoirs of those girls from the Creation Lineage."
"..."
Qin Feng was speechless, "Senior Sister, don't talk nonsense. My cave mansion is merely more in tune with the natural surroundings. Look at the architectural style and those decorative items, how does it look like a girl's boudoir? I think it's your own cave mansion that's too rough and simple, more like a place where a disheveled male cultivator would practice."
Luoluo nodded in agreement at the side, "If you two switched your cave mansions, that would be more fitting."
"Haha, Luoluo has a clear view as an onlooker. Indeed, Senior Sister's cave mansion really doesn't resemble a typical female cultivator's abode!"
Li Miaozhen glanced at him indifferently, "I don't have any requirements for such things. As long as it meets my needs for cultivation, that's enough. Why bother with anything else?
As for you, you even have so much energy to spare on arranging your cave mansion. It would be better in my opinion to save that time for cultivation."
Qin Feng just shrugged his shoulders and didn't respond.
These kinds of things are a matter of personal preference.
Take Hao Shicheng, for instance, who believes that cultivators shouldn't spend all their energy on arduous practice, which is why he spends so much time on activities he enjoys.
Li Miaozhen's favorite activities are cultivation and fighting, so she doesn't find it to be suffering and actually relishes it.
Qin Feng, however, felt it was normal to devote most of his energy to cultivation but also needed other things as seasoning. So, after every closed-door cultivation session, he would go out for walks or find other things to distract his attention and relax his spirit. Otherwise, being tense for too long would make him feel weary.
He left Luoluo in front of the cave mansion, letting the girl do as she pleased, confident that with her capabilities, she couldn't wreck his abode.
Then he took Li Miaozhen to the cultivation room behind.
"Senior Sister,"
Qin Feng spoke with a solemn expression, "I've only just grasped the Gold Element Principle and, incidentally, gained more insights into the Chewing Iron Great Method that I enlightened on my own. That's why I'm barely able to condense a seed of this divine power. However, my cultivation is still insufficient, so I'll need Senior Sister to cooperate. Later, don't move or resist, and you'll have to open your mind fully to receive my seed."
Li Miaozhen frowned, only then remembering that Qin Feng's cultivation realm was similar to hers, not yet having achieved the Purple Mansion, still in the Golden Core Realm.
She asked hesitantly, "Are you sure you can do it? Nothing will go wrong, will it?"
"Of course, I can."
When questioned, Qin Feng certainly couldn't show weakness, "Senior Sister, you still don't trust my abilities? Just wait and see how I perform."
