Chapter 37: Inner Sect Leaderboard (Part 1)

Lin Chen was slightly startled and inwardly grumbled, "Lin Fan, what kind of devilish move is this? This actually works?"

Although she grumbled inwardly, she maintained a modest appearance on the surface: "Instructor, everyone has their own style. This doesn't mean your method is ineffective. You can certainly keep your own approach."

A glint of slyness flashed in Instructor Liu Qingwan's eyes, and she retorted, "Whether it works or not, why don't we find out?" After saying this, she gently closed her eyes and waved her hands lightly. Ripples of the Spirit Sound Healing technique slowly emanated, accompanied by her melody.

Unlike Lin Chen's subtle and restrained melody, which was like a budding flower, Instructor Liu Qingwan's melody was full of charm and allure, like a gorgeous, mysterious, and bold woman approaching slowly, carrying an irresistible attraction.

Lin Chen only felt a tingling sensation rush from the top of her head straight to her brain, then rapidly spread throughout her entire body. Her whole body felt warm, a bit itchy, but it was an exceptionally comfortable itch that made her moan uncontrollably.

"…So comfortable… I feel like my previous fatigue has been swept away in an instant; my body feels light as a cloud."

Seeing this, Instructor Liu Qingwan revealed a smug smile and said happily, "See? It really works!"

Lin Chen opened her eyes, her gaze filled with a trace of helplessness and amazement: "Instructor, your healing spirit sound is truly impressive; I have to admire it. However, your style is really…" She chuckled, not continuing, but inwardly she couldn't help but sigh that Instructor Liu Qingwan's melody was too seductive.

Instructor Liu Qingwan looked at Lin Chen seriously: "Lin Chen, your method is indeed more effective. If our Xuanyin Qin Sect could Master this way of healing, the Sect's overall strength would surely be elevated to a whole new level."

She paused, her gaze burning, and asked sincerely: "Are you willing to make this secret technique public and share it with the Sect?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment, then nodded and replied: "Of course, that is possible; after all, it is for the progress of the Sect. However, Instructor Liu Qingwan, this Cultivation process must be kept strictly confidential. Only those Disciples who can be trusted should participate. Otherwise, the reputation of the Xuanyin Qin Sect might be affected."

Instructor Liu Qingwan's eyes were full of approval: "You have thought this through very thoroughly. Confidentiality is indeed necessary."

Lin Chen and Instructor Liu Qingwan exchanged a knowing look, quickly adjusted their clothing, hiding the lingering emotional state from just now, and walked out of the preparation room.

At this moment, Instructor Liu Qingwan's cheeks were still flushed, as if they had just been watered by morning dew, slightly revealing a languid and moving fatigue.

Her full figure swayed gently with her steps, exuding the charm and alluring aura unique to a mature woman.

As for Lin Chen, besides her cheeks being a bit flushed, nothing else looked unusual.

The two walked to the podium, where the Disciples were already sitting and waiting. Seeing Instructor Liu Qingwan arrive, they all stood up to salute.

Instructor Liu Qingwan smiled faintly, sat down, and quickly regained the dignity and authority expected of an Instructor.

A Disciple raised their hand, stood up, and asked Instructor Liu Qingwan: "Instructor Liu Qingwan, I always fail to play this healing melody. Could you please guide me?"

Instructor Liu Qingwan adjusted her breathing slightly, her expression returning to her usual seriousness and focus, and she began to explain the mysteries of the healing melody in detail.

Lin Chen returned to her seat. Despite having the experience of a hundred lifetimes provided by Lin Fan, she was still deeply interested in Instructor Liu Qingwan's explanation.

Regarding this basic knowledge, she didn't feel bored at all; instead, she immersed herself in it with great relish, carefully absorbing every detail.

It wasn't until the class time ended that she put down the ancient zither.

In Lin Chen's spiritual consciousness world, Lin Fan sat with his legs crossed, saying with some impatience: "What's the point of learning these basic things? If you ask me, just giving you a bit of my experience from past lives would be much more Advanced than this."

Lin Chen couldn't help but chuckle and retorted: "Hmph, what do you know? Foundations are the most important thing!"

Lin Fan shrugged and said lazily: "Whatever you say." After saying that, he turned over and continued to doze off in the spiritual consciousness world, saying no more.

In the following half-month, Lin Chen spent a peaceful and fulfilling time in day-to-day Cultivation and life.

During the day, she focused on Cultivating the Xuanyin Qin Sect's Cultivation Technique, used her rest time to meditate, and from time to time, Cultivated the Void Heaven-Swallowing Art taught by Lin Fan.

Occasionally, she would sneak off with her Master to soak in the Spirit Dew Hot Spring, enjoying that rare relaxation and comfort.

This morning, Lin Chen woke up as usual and gently stretched her slender and elegant waist.

She raised her hand and called out softly, "Xiao Du."

Suddenly, a cute, dazed-looking loli figure quietly appeared at her bedside, her eyes filled with playful laughter.

Xiao Du was originally Lin Fan's System. From the beginning, when she saw Lin Chen, she wanted to be friends with her. After half a month of contact, the two naturally developed into friends.

"Hehe. Does the Little Mistress have any arrangements!" Xiao Du giggled.

"Xiao Du, check the current attribute panel."

"Alright, Little Mistress!"

Xiao Du waved her little hand and deftly displayed Lin Chen's attribute panel in the air. The information on the panel was clear at a glance:

Lin Chen looked at the attribute panel with satisfaction and smiled: "It seems my required courses are already completed. Well organized, Xiao Du."

As she spoke, she gently stroked Xiao Du's cute, dazed head. A happy smile appeared on Xiao Du's face, clearly enjoying this intimacy.

"Xiao Du? Xiao Du? It doesn't sound good at all. If you ask me, you should call her Little Cutie; how nice that sounds." In Lin Chen's spiritual consciousness world, Lin Fan said with some disdain.

"You're the one who's a Little Cutie!" Xiao Du quickly retorted.

Lin Chen glanced at Lin Fan, "Alright, alright, Xiao Du, let's ignore him." As she spoke, she made an encouraging gesture to Xiao Du.

Xiao Du made a face at Lin Fan, sticking out her tongue and mocking: "Hmph, I don't want to pay attention to you!"

Lin Fan felt the awkwardness of being isolated and teased: "Lin Chen, another 15 days have passed; in half a month, we have to start the villain mission. Have you thought of your next target?"

Lin Chen frowned slightly, her tone carrying a bit of hesitation: "Xiao Du, do we really have to do this mission? Can't we change it to another one?"

Xiao Du poked her fingers together, her expression serious: "Sister Lin Chen, this mission is to drive the world's operation; it must be done, and I am powerless to change it. However, as long as we persevere, new missions will eventually appear."

Lin Chen stroked her eyebrows, her thoughts surging.

Over the past half-month, Instructor Liu Qingwan had already passed on the secret to improving healing effects to some Disciples she trusted, and those Disciples also quietly imitated it, trying to make a Breakthrough themselves.

However, because both were women, that gentle and delicate method, even without trying the Red Pill, the effect naturally did not become as significant as Instructor Liu Qingwan had said.

Although these Disciples were itching to try and wanted to ask Lin Chen for advice several times, because Lin Chen was just a new student who had joined less than half a month ago, these senior students who thought highly of themselves couldn't bring themselves to lower their pride.

Lin Chen's gaze flashed slightly, and a faint smile curled on her lips: "Why not accept the challenge of the Inner Sect Disciple Leaderboard? Accumulating some reputation would be a good method."

"Xiao Du, collect information related to the leaderboard challenge."
