Jian Shen after learning about the basics of Divine Cultivation through the manual that Xifeng sent to him and clarifying his doubts by asking the two swords, started comprehending his cultivation technique which was related to cultivating his Middle Dantian.
And honestly, once Jian Shen finished understanding the Cultivation Technique he would be using he felt that this was actually much easier than the technique he used to cultivate his Lower Dantian.
After all, unlike Qi which had various types out of which Jian Shen cultivated in nine of them, Soul Essence was a singular element which didn't have any kinds within in m
Due to this, Jian Shen found the Cultivation Technique a lot less complicated than the one he used in the Mortal Realm.
At the same time, Jian Shen who had tried out cultivating for a bit felt like even though it there were just five levels of Cultivation in the Divine Cultivation, it would take much longer for him to fully cultivate his Middle Dantian and once again ascend than it took him in the Mortal Realm.
...
"That's not how you hold a sword, girl."
"Stop letting the sword slip out of your hands."
"Be more nimble on your feet. You aren't carrying any huge log."
"Don't just look with your eyes, try and sense where my sword is coming from."
"You.…"
Jian Shen wouldn't go as far as to say that he was the best swordsman and that there wasn't anything else he could comprehend on the Path of Sword.
But, he wasn't the least bit uncertain in telling Lei Luli the truth after trying his best to teach her for the past week.
"You suck. Give up on dreaming about using a sword."
"Huh? How can you say that?! Aren't you supposed to encourage me or have me train harder?"
Shaking his head and sighing loudly, Jian Shen who had repeated the same thing so many times since he began teaching her, said, "No matter how hard you try, do you think it is possible to teach a beast how to talk?"
Gritting her teeth angrily as Jian Shen was comparing her to mindless animals, Luli who never even wanted to learn how to use a sword wanted to just learn it to teach Jian Shen wrong.
Wait a second, was this his real intention?
Thinking that it was, Luli felt like she should try and put more effort into learning what Jian Shen was teaching her.
But what she didn't know was that Jian Shen honestly wanted her to stop because just teaching her was making him feel like he was forgetting how to wield a sword.
"So, how's the training going?"
Grateful to Xifeng who couldn't have picked a better time to come, Jian Shen who had been longing to take a break told Luli to do the same.
"You should know better than anyone else about your own daughter."
"Whatever do you mean? Luli has always been a fast learner... "
Unable to speak with a straight face due to expression Jian Shen had on his face, Xifeng ended up sighing and revealing the truth as well.
"I know, I know. She sucks at using almost all types of weapons and even fighting as well. But can't you at least try and teach her the basics?"
Looking weirdly towards Xifeng who by the day was behaving less and less like an Empress when she was with him, Jian Shen decided to just ask her.
"Why are you behaving so weirdly near me? Do I remind you of someone?"
Replying while shrugging her shoulders, Xifeng said, "I don't know what you're talking about. You're an obvious treasure who is going to be a huge help to me in the future when you become strong. That's why... "
Interrupting Xifeng, Jian Shen spoke with narrowed eyes.
"At first I thought the same as well, but that doesn't seem like it. There's definitely something else."
"Really? I don't know what you're talking about."
Repeating her words, Xifeng quickly stood up and walked away while saying that he should put more effort into teaching Luli.
This was around the same time that her daughter who saw everything threw the sword in her hand accurately towards Jian Shen's head and stomped away while saying she wasn't going to learn anymore.
"What the hell... There's definitely something wrong with the women in this family, right?"
Thinking that he had made a mistake and accepted Xifeng's proposal when he took the Jade Rabbit Sword, Jian Shen began truly wondering if it was the women that were weird or just him being over sensitive.
This was when Qingyu began explaining what was actually happening to him.
"The charm you hold towards women has been greatly increased after you were baptized through the Nine Heavenly Treasures, Jian Shen."
"What? But I don't think I look any different."
"You don't. But looking at you now, smelling your scent, feeling your touch... Ahhhh... "
Finishing up for Qingyu, Juewang more or less allowed Jian Shen to understand why Xifeng was behaving like that.
Seems like adding on to how handsome he looked, he was now a walking aphrodisiac who turned women on.
Imagining a scene where he walked onto a crowded street due to which all women started fighting each other to hug him, Jian Shen began grinning like an idiot when Qingyu broke his stupid fantasy.
"Such a thing will most likely never happen, Jian Shen. This charm you possess is like a slow-acting poison which takes its effect on a woman only after a considerable amount of time."
"Also, this isn't something which will definitely affect all women. There must be something they are desperately craving which they choose to substitute with you."
"It's also possible for them to reject the effect of your charm as long as they have enough control over their emotions."
