Chương 62: Chapter 22: Teaching Until Dawn

The red candle's residual flame was still slightly warm in the spring air. Bai Lian stood by the bed, having changed into a plain white loose coat, her Li Yue Taoist robe set aside. Her shoes were neatly placed at the end of the bed, and a pair of white lace-up socks adorned her feet.

In her hand, she held a slender stick, her expression serious and focused. The room was cast in a warm glow by the red candle's light.

Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei, seated on the bed, straightened up as they anticipated Bai Lian's teachings. The scene was set for a serious lesson.

Bai Lian waved her right hand through the air, causing ripples that formed a translucent whiteboard made of spiritual power. With a mere thought, the words "How to Cultivate" appeared on the whiteboard, setting the theme for the day's lesson.

In attendance were the teacher, Bai Lian, her two younger Martial Sisters, and an intrigued rabbit.

Bai Lian tapped the whiteboard with the wooden stick in her hand and asked, "Who can tell me what is important in cultivation?"

The question seemed simple enough, but the students exchanged glances, their minds racing to find the right answer. Even the rabbit perked up its ears, as if contemplating a response.

Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei were momentarily stumped, unsure of how to answer. Fortunately, the pressure of answering wasn't on "Her," so they felt a bit relieved.

A mischievous glint appeared in the rabbit's eyes, and it used its ears to spell out the word "Grass" on the ground.

Bai Lian looked at the word and understood the rabbit's playful intent. "That's correct!" she exclaimed, nodding in approval. "Spiritual Herbs are indeed an essential resource for cultivation, but they're not the only factor. Besides resources, qualities like talent and state of mind are equally crucial."

She wrote two headings on the whiteboard: [Cultivation Talent] and [State of Mind].

"Let's talk about cultivation talent first," Bai Lian began. "You are all unique geniuses, so we won't dwell on this aspect. Instead, I want to focus on the importance of one's state of mind."

She pointed to the words "State of Mind" on the whiteboard, emphasizing her point.

The room fell into rapt attention as Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei absorbed Bai Lian's words.

Bai Lian continued, "The significance of a strong state of mind cannot be overstated. Many geniuses experience rapid improvements in strength, but if their mental state lags behind their cultivation base, they might fall victim to heavenly tribulations, succumb to their inner demons, or even perish due to arrogance."

Su Youwei nodded in agreement, having witnessed such cases firsthand. She herself had struggled with her internal demon, hindering her progress toward Foundation Establishment.

Bai Lian elaborated, "You both have your own issues to address. Xiao Jinse, your self-confidence is improving, which is commendable. And Su Youwei, you're grappling with a powerful inner demon. It's crucial to overcome this obstacle before advancing further, as progressing with unresolved issues could lead you down the path of the Shura."

Su Youwei's gaze dropped, her embarrassment evident. Bai Lian had discussed this matter with her before, but she still found it challenging to control the haunting memories of her past life. She knew that she needed Bai Lian's guidance to find the right path.

She hesitated before asking, "Elder Martial Sister, have you ever faced an inner demon during your cultivation?"

Bai Lian paused, deep in thought. Despite the struggles she faced from her previous life's memories, she hadn't encountered a traditional inner demon in her cultivation journey.

"Could it be that my lack of morality or the power of the Innocence Heart granted by the system shields me from internal demons?" Bai Lian mused, her thoughts drifting.

Then, a series of notifications from the system appeared:

[Task 1: Admit that you have never faced an inner demon (Reward: Medium-grade magic tool - Tianling Fan)]

[Task 2: Provide a perfunctory response (Reward: Secret medicine - Fascination)]

[Task 3: Fabricate a story about your battle with an inner demon for your younger Martial Sisters (Reward: Weapon Refining +2)]

Bai Lian considered the tasks presented by the system, feeling somewhat perplexed by their nature.

Task 3 seemed like the most challenging one. Should she weave a white lie?

After a period of contemplation, Bai Lian raised her head with a renewed sense of determination. She looked at her younger Martial Sisters and began recounting a story, carefully crafted to inspire and educate.

"Did you know?" she began, "When I first joined Qiongming Peak, it had been without disciples for 400 years. On that day, snow fell gently outside, like goose feathers floating from the sky. Master An Lan, with her warm touch, welcomed me as the newest disciple of Qiongming Peak."

The atmosphere in the room became more solemn as the Martial Sisters and the rabbit listened attentively.

Bai Lian continued, "To outsiders, this might seem like an honor, but for me, it was an immense pressure. Our master, An Lan, is known as the strongest practitioner in Duxian Sect. As I lay in bed that night, I couldn't help but question myself."

"Am I truly qualified to be Master An Lan's disciple?"

"Can I live up to the role of Elder Martial Sister on Qiongming Peak?"

"If my cultivation progress stalls, will I bring shame to our master?"

Bai Lian's voice grew softer, carrying a mixture of vulnerability and determination. "I tossed and turned that night, consumed by doubt. If I had continued down that path, I might not have been able to progress in my cultivation."

With a subtle shift in her expression, Bai Lian allowed a radiant smile to grace her features. Her eyes shone as if reflecting a profound truth.

"But you know what happened next?" she asked, her voice steady. "I realized that I didn't need those doubts. Just as there is another me in this mirror, I envisioned another version of myself in my heart. This version of me was perfect—undaunted by any challenges, steadfast in her resolve. She faced every obstacle with unwavering confidence, fully embracing her role as Elder Martial Sister of Qiongming Peak."

"I began to follow her example, step by step. And one day, as I meditated, I felt her presence fade away."

Bai Lian concluded with a serene smile. "I no longer needed her. Just like this mirror."

With a wave of her hand, she gestured toward the mirror in the room. To everyone's astonishment, the mirror shattered into countless pieces, leaving only one unblemished reflection of Bai Lian.

Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei were left in awe, their hearts deeply touched by Bai Lian's story. The image of a perfect and confident Martial Sister Bai Lian lingered in their minds.

Bai Lian, her task completed, smiled to herself. She had used a bit more force than intended, causing the mirror to break. Luckily, her explanation seemed plausible enough to satisfy her students.

Satisfied that her story had resonated with her Martial Sisters, Bai Lian continued her lesson. "Now, let's move on. In ten days, you will be facing the disciples from Yunluo Peak in a challenge. While I can't eliminate your inner demons, I can offer guidance in other areas."

She beckoned her younger Martial Sisters closer. "One of the fastest ways to improve your state of mind is through insight."

With that, Bai Lian crouched down, and Xiao Jinse understood the lesson's practical application. She observed Bai Lian's feet closely, recognizing that this was Bai Lian's version of a night tutorial. However, when she glanced at Su Youwei, her excitement was dampened by the realization that this wasn't a private lesson anymore.

Su Youwei, on the other hand, was fixated on Bai Lian's Tao Halo, which emitted a soft glow. She watched the intricate patterns created by Bai Lian's movements with a mix of awe and trepidation.

Tao Halo—something only Natural Saints were said to possess. Yet, wasn't Martial Sister Bai Lian labeled as a false Natural Saint by a fellow disciple in Su Youwei's past life? The contradiction perplexed her.

Fighting the turmoil within her, Su Youwei reached out to touch Bai Lian's ankle in an attempt to gain a closer look at the Tao Halo's patterns.

For a moment, the room was still, everyone frozen in astonishment.
