My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

Qin Ran still had not refined any real "life extending" elixirs, but as an alchemist with considerable attainments, refining some traditional life extending elixirs was no problem.

Traditionally, life extending elixirs refer to those that can allow ordinary people to approach the life expectancy limit of 180 years to the greatest extent possible.

He refined some and first let his silly apprentice take them back for her family to use.

In fact, Qin Ran knew that these elixirs were considered immortal pills and miraculous medicines in the eyes of ordinary people. But he was determined to research the legendary immortality pills, because that was what his silly apprentice had mentioned at the time.

...Li Shiyin still did not know how difficult it was to refine the elixirs that extended lifespan that she wanted.

When the silly apprentice went home, besides preparing her spiritual elixirs and miraculous medicines as gifts, Qin Ran also meticulously prepared some other things, stuffing them all into Li Shiyin's cosmos pouch, along with the various elixirs, talismans, and so on that Li Shiyin herself might need...

The cosmos pouch was stuffed full again for another day.

Sometimes Li Shiyin would think that if her cosmos pouch were to break one day, it would definitely be from being overstuffed.

On the morning of the 15th day of the 12th lunar month, after eating her fill, Li Shiyin prepared to set off on her journey.

On the lawn in front of the little log cabin, she jokingly asked Qin Ran, "Master, are you really not coming back with me?"

Her tone was exactly like a Danyang rogue flirting with a young lady from Dan Peak.

Qin Ran frowned and only exhorted, "Be careful on the road."

"Hehe..." Qin Ran's manner made Li Shiyin feel happy. She asked Chasing the Wind again, "Silly Tiger, come with me to play!"

She had already imagined the scene of her swaggering into Danyang City with Chasing the Wind. It would definitely be awesome! No one would dare block her path from the city outskirts to the city interior.

In fact, Chasing the Wind really wanted to go. He panted with his tongue out, smiling, and was just about to say "Okay!" But ultimately he still looked timidly towards Qin Ran.

"Wait until Chasing the Wind has learned the shape shifting art, then we'll discuss it..." Qin Ran shook his head and said, "Chasing the Wind as he is now would cause too much panic among ordinary people."

A tiger even bigger than an ox appearing in a mortal town...just imagining that scene would be shocking.

"Alright!" Li Shiyin was a little disappointed. She also said to Long Qiqi, "Little Qiqi, don't miss me!"

Not only were Long Qiqi's innate talents for cultivation lacking, it seemed her transformed body was also somewhat problematic. She had been at Dan Peak for over half a year, yet her height had barely grown at all...

Especially standing next to Chasing the Wind, she seemed to not have grown taller at all.

Li Shiyin deliberately added the character for "little" before her name, the mocking meaning already self-evident. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Sure enough, Long Qiqi's chubby face darkened as she said sinisterly, "I won't miss you. It'd be best if you didn't come back. Your master is so comfortable and easy to take advantage of, I can monopolize him myself..."

Li Shiyin curled her lip, completely unworried. Looking at Long Qiqi she shook her head and said, "You don't even want to call him master!"

"Alright, that's enough nonsense." Qin Ran promptly interrupted the bickering between Li Shiyin and Long Qiqi. He said to Li Shiyin, "It's getting late, time to set off. Get to Danyang early, don't stop at an inn along the way to delay time, that would be especially troublesome. It would invite disaster from nothing.

"Give my regards to your father and mother, and say hello to your elder brother. If there's a chance, you can bring them to visit Dan Peak."

"I know." Li Shiyin nodded, summoned her Leaning Star Sword, stepped onto it, and circled around in the air before coming back. She waved farewell to the few people on the lawn, "Goodbye, I'll miss you all!"

Qin Ran waved back at her, and exhorted again, "Be careful on the road."

Li Shiyin laughed as she turned around. The sword-shaped pendant at her waist shot out rays of light, opening a path in the protective mountain great formation. She flew out in a streak of light.

The silly apprentice preferred light colored clothing, like white, apricot, light green, pale purple. When she idly wandered around everyday, she was also often dressed in white, leaving disciples of the Daoxuan Sect with the ethereal impression of a white-clothed sword immortal. But today she was going home, so white clothing was not suitable. She had chosen a peach red outfit to wear.

A red-clad maiden, with black boots, her hair tied high in a ponytail, wielding a Leaning Star Sword, the clean and brisk, heroic and valiant aura around the young girl finally contained some gentle and charming femininity, youthful vigor.

Qin Ran watched as Li Shiyin disappeared into the sky above Dan Peak. For a long time afterwards, he still felt as if there was a lingering peach-colored after image before his eyes. It was as if Li Shiyin's clear and melodious laughter of "heehee" and "hahaha" still echoed by his ears.

She had only just left, yet he already felt somewhat reluctant to part with her.

"Hey! Stop looking!" Long Qiqi jumped up and kicked his knee, teasing, "She's already past the Hengduan Mountains!"

Qin Ran looked down at this black-hearted little devil, reached out to ruffle her hair, and laughed scoldingly, "You're the one who understands so much!"

"Humph..." Long Qiqi rolled her eyes at him and stuck out her tongue. She turned and ran towards the log cabin, calling back teasingly, "Some people's souls have been stolen away!"

Qin Ran made a fist to threaten her, but it was of no use whatsoever.

Qin Ran stood there a while longer, looking in the direction Li Shiyin had departed, judging Danyang's direction, then let out a soft sigh.

He also turned around to walk back to the log cabin, planning to return to his study to research teleportation arrays or the Nine Extremes Primordial Spirit Demon Devouring Skill. But after taking two steps, he kept feeling something was off, with an empty feeling in his heart, as if something was missing.

When Li Shiyin was around, even if she was napping somewhere, curled up somewhere, or running wild around the mountain with Chasing the Wind, he wouldn't see her, but he knew she was there. And now, as he scanned his eyes across Dan Peak, he only felt an empty bleakness everywhere.

Clearly Dan Peak only lacked Li Shiyin's presence, there was still Chasing the Wind, still Long Qiqi, still the old Gnarled Chinese Scholar Tree, still the Extremity Demon Weeping Willow in the back mountain, and even a fox demon in the back mountain. But the instant Li Shiyin had left, Dan Peak lost a lot of its liveliness and cheer, becoming desolate.

He could have endured the darkness. On the path of cultivation, he had prepared to spend hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of years in solitude. But light had suddenly appeared in this darkness.

No mind for cultivation today.

Qin Ran looked towards Chasing the Wind's room. Today he would install a proper door on Chasing the Wind's room!

Yes, as Chasing the Wind grew larger and larger, the hole that served as his door grew larger and larger, until finally there was no door left.

Chasing the Wind was the child with the harshest living conditions on Dan Peak, not even having a door to his room. When it snowed in winter, the snow would blow right into the room and even pile up inside. And the interior was also very messy, like a pigsty...ahem, like a tiger's den, fundamentally no different from a monster's cave in the mountains.

There would be snow and ice inside the room. At night when Chasing the Wind snored away inside, cold winds could still blow in from the doorway.

...It really was too pitiable.

"Let's install a new door on your room today?" Qin Ran said to Chasing the Wind.

"Oh?" Chasing the Wind looked at his den, a little embarrassed, and said, "I think it's fine as is."

In fact, Chasing the Wind's room was originally as exquisitely refined as the pet quarters of a wealthy family. Li Shiyin and Long Qiqi would occasionally help decorate, tidy up, and clean it. But...Chasing the Wind was just a tiger! How could he care about decorating his room! So after a long time, Li Shiyin and Long Qiqi got tired, and Chasing the Wind's room became like this.

"Go get the tools from the storeroom..." Qin Ran told Chasing the Wind.

Chasing the Wind then reluctantly went towards the storeroom.
