24: Chapter 24 What you're talking about is a hypnotic technique?

Chun Xiaobai was not surprised to see that the young girl had confirmed his identity.

Even if she hadn't recognized him today, he had intended to tell her directly.

This would prevent her from being unable to suppress her curiosity, asking around everywhere, and attracting the attention of others.

Furthermore, his biggest vulnerability right now was his identity; if he didn't deal with it, he would never feel at ease.

Especially when working, he was always walking on eggshells.

"That's right, This Great King is the Utility Disciple you brought up the mountain!" Chun Xiaobai put on a fierce and menacing expression, and the bandit aura on his body erupted instantly.

"Ah!!" Bai Jiner shuddered in fright, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"However, This Great King warns you," Chun Xiaobai stepped closer, clenched his fist, which was as big as a sand pot, shook it in front of her eyes, and then warned.

"If you dare to leak This Great King's identity, you... will also be finished along with me!"

Bai Jiner panicked again, her delicate body trembling slightly.

Did he... did he intend to silence her?

Chun Xiaobai slowly curled the corners of his mouth again, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, his smile carrying a hint of sinister intent.

"Rest assured, This Great King will not silence you."

"Because that foundation establishment pill you took is exactly what This Great King just robbed."

"Everyone saw you take This Great King's foundation establishment pill. As long as This Great King gets caught by the Law Enforcement Hall, it will be revealed that you brought me up the mountain and that you took the foundation establishment pill. None of these things can be hidden then."

"You!"

Bai Jiner only just reacted now. Why was this guy so generous with his gifts?

So... so those Medicinal Pills were all things he had robbed!

That was why he didn't feel bad about giving them away!

"Wuwuwu..."

Thinking that she had become an accomplice to a bandit, Bai Jiner felt more aggrieved and scared the more she thought about it, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Damn, how did she get scared to tears?"

Chun Xiaobai scratched his head. In his life, what he hated most was women crying, and what he feared most was also women crying.

He slammed the table and roared: "Shut up for This Great King!"

"As long as you keep it a secret, that's all there is to it. Why are you crying and whimpering!"

"Wuwu..." Startled by his roar, Bai Jiner quickly covered her mouth with her hands, trying hard to suppress her sobs, leaving only intermittent choking sounds.

"You... as long as I keep it a secret, will you really... not report me?"

"Uh!"

Chun Xiaobai was stunned.

This wasn't right!

Shouldn't it be This Great King worrying about her reporting him?

How did it get reversed?

However, he couldn't be bothered to ask.

Chun Xiaobai immediately patted his chest and promised: "As long as you don't expose This Great King's identity, This Great King will never betray you either. We can be considered grasshoppers on the same rope now!"

Bai Jiner breathed a small sigh of relief.

The reason she was so scared was mainly because this "fake Disciple," Chun Xiaobai, was brought up the mountain by her own hands.

If the Law Enforcement Hall found out, she would also bear the blame for failing to judge a person correctly.

Because recruiting a Utility Disciple required strict screening.

That day was her first time accepting the task of recruiting Disciples. Due to a lack of experience, Disciples with mixed Spiritual Roots were all taken by other Sects.

Seeing that time was running out, she didn't conduct strict screening and gave those Utility Disciples who had no connection to other paths a chance.

Who knew... she had actually recruited a thief.

And such a...

She suddenly remembered that the "thief" in front of her was someone capable of defeating a top-hundred Genius of the Outer Sect with a single sword strike.

Was this a Utility Disciple?

Let alone a Utility Disciple, even Senior Brother Fang Yuan, who was at Qi Refining Level 7, couldn't do that.

Her mind was in a mess again, and she was completely confused.

"Alright, alright."

Chun Xiaobai waved his hand impatiently. "This Great King doesn't eat people; what's with all the crying!"

"Rest assured, from now on, if you follow This Great King, as long as This Great King has a mouthful of meat to eat, I will never let you just drink the soup!"

As he spoke, he pulled the dazed Bai Jiner over and pressed her onto the prayer mat opposite him.

"Quick, tell This Great King properly first, how to perform Qi Induction."

Bai Jiner was pressed onto the prayer mat opposite him. She sniffled, knowing that she was now on a pirate ship and could only follow his demands. However, she was still very curious.

"Y-y-you really are a bandit!"

What kind of question was that?

Chun Xiaobai rolled his eyes and simply stood up. "What? Don't I look like one?"

"N-no!" She quickly picked up the Qingyun Manual.

This guy really did look like a bandit, but she couldn't understand how a bandit from the mortal world could possess such powerful sword techniques.

She suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, took a deep breath, and began to explain: "Qi Induction is the first step of immortal cultivation."

She sniffled, her voice still trembling slightly: "Empty your mind, let your heart and intent connect..."

After her explanation, Chun Xiaobai did indeed have some insights. He immediately took out two Spirit Stones, held them in his palms, sat cross-legged in a decent manner, and closed his eyes.

A moment later.

His head tilted to the side, the Spirit Stones rolled from his hands, and he nearly fell face-first onto the ground; he had almost fallen asleep.

"Damn! Why do I always get sleepy while meditating!"

Chun Xiaobai rubbed his eyes, looking depressed.

This made Bai Jiner, who had been scared to death, almost laugh out loud.

She quickly held back her laughter and reminded him: "Senior Brother Chun, you can't just empty your mind; you must concentrate all your thoughts on the center of your eyebrows..."

"I see, let's try again!"

Chun Xiaobai immediately followed her method, grabbed the Spirit Stones, and focused his mind again.

Watching his serious expression, Bai Jiner secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this guy was bandit-like, he didn't seem to be a bad person.

Within the Sect, things like stabbing fellow Disciples in the back and stealing resources were not new; they happened almost every day.

Even if that foundation establishment pill and spirit gathering pill were things he had robbed, he still had to be willing to give them away.

As for the foundation establishment pill, even between Dao Companions, let alone giving it away, it was rare for them not to draw swords against each other!

In her three years in the Sect, apart from those guys who coveted her beauty and would fake kindness, no one had ever sincerely given her any Medicinal Pills.

Yet when he gave away the foundation establishment pill, he didn't even blink.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the front, interrupting her train of thought.

She looked up and saw that Chun Xiaobai's head had already knocked onto the wooden table in front of him, and he was actually... snoring.

A row of black lines immediately appeared on her forehead.

This... this...

It was the first time she had ever seen someone fall asleep while trying to enter the Dao and sense Qi.

No, she should say she had never even heard of it!

This... was he supposed to be considered a strange person?

She quickly stepped forward and pushed Chun Xiaobai's shoulder: "Senior Brother Chun, Senior Brother Chun, wake up!"

"Don't bother me, let This Great King sleep a bit more..."

"Damn!"

Chun Xiaobai sat up straight abruptly, rubbed his eyes, and asked with a bewildered expression: "I... did I fall asleep again?"

"Yes!" Bai Jiner didn't laugh this time; she just found it unbelievable.

You have to know that during the process of sensing Qi, when the mind is immersed in the Cultivation Technique, the spiritual platform should be clear, and it is impossible to feel sleepy.

After all, when those Elders go into seclusion and meditate, they sit for months or even years. If they could fall asleep so easily, how could they sit for so long?

Chun Xiaobai grabbed the Qingyun Manual, looked it over repeatedly, and asked with a suspicious expression.

"Um... Junior Sister, are you sure what you taught This Great King is the method for Qi Induction, and not some hypnosis technique?"
