Simulated Lives: The Sorrow of the Sword Maiden-Chapter 4 – She waits for your return in the rain

Xu Xi had a great first impression of the Master of Sen Sword Peak.
This newly acknowledged master.
With a kind and gentle appearance, he looked like a very amiable elder.
He didn't have the aloof demeanor of a sect's grand elder at all.
Behind his wide robe, he carried an unadorned wooden sword, ordinary in style, seemingly unremarkable, but being carried by an Elemental Infant Cultivator, it was likely a deeply hidden magical treasure.
Similarly.
While Xu Xi was observing the Master of Sen Sword Peak, Li Wanshou was also observing Xu Xi.
The more he looked, the more satisfied he became, gently stroking his white beard: "Not bad, not bad, a rare wood-attributed Heavenly Spiritual Root, destined to bring prosperity to my Sen Sword Peak."
Other Elemental Infant cultivators in the sect protested, "Old Li, why should a wood-attributed Heavenly Spiritual Root belong to your Sen Sword Peak!"
"Exactly!"
"As the saying goes, wood generates fire in the five elements cycle, my Flame Sword Peak is also suitable for this boy!"
"Hahaha!"
Listening to the envious and jealous tones of his peers, Li Wanshou laughed heartily, waved his sleeve, and a strong wind swept Xu Xi's body, flying towards the distant green mountains.
"Let's go, my good disciple. Don't let these furious old ghosts harm you.
Hahaha, how delightful!"
***
The green mountains were majestic.
Serene and verdant.
The layers of mountains and waters were distinct, the wind and clouds moved together with a thunderous sound.
By the time Xu Xi came to his senses, he was already shuttling through the mountains, quickly leaving the main hall of the Heavenly Sword Sect, flying towards the direction of Sen Sword Peak.
"Master..."
"Hmm?"
Xu Xi quickly corrected himself: "Teacher, is it really okay for us to leave like this?"
Li Wanshou chuckled and scolded: "No need to worry, those old ghosts have often mocked me, saying my Sen Sword Peak is deserted, this time it's their turn to lose face."
The old man acted very freely.
With profound Elemental Infant power, he moved with the wind.
Before long, he brought Xu Xi to Sen Sword Peak.
The architectural style here was similar to the sect's main hall, but many places were planted with sword bamboos, looking from afar like thousands of green swords standing on the mountain, sharp and imposing.
"My good disciple, from now on, this Sen Sword Peak is yours to manage.
I have only you as my true disciple, so you are the most senior among the disciples on the mountain.
From top to bottom, you can arrange all matters as you see fit.
If you have any uncertainties or doubts about cultivation, come to the Sen Sword Hall at the mountain top to find me.
Practice well, our Heavenly Sword Sect has never produced a Divine Transformation Cultivator, maybe you'll be the first, haha, if I can teach a Divine Transformation disciple, my life would be worth it."
After setting Xu Xi down.
The old man laughed joyfully to himself, tossed a storage pouch and a secret manual, then walked into the hall at the mountain peak with his hands behind his back.
A look of doing nothing and not wanting to manage affairs.
"This..."
Xu Xi caught the storage pouch and manual, his expression complex, feeling like he had entered a shady factory to work.
[You successfully joined the Elemental Infant sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, becoming the senior disciple of the Sen Sword Peak lineage]
[In the storage pouch left by your master Li Wanshou, you found a travel token, a flying boat usable by mortals, a large number of spirit stones, talismans, formation disks, and magical artifacts, you were shocked, feeling you were destined to be a part of Sen Sword Peak]
[You piloted the flying boat, brought your sister Xu Moli to your side, and found an unoccupied cave dwelling on the mountain to live in]
[Your talent is astonishing, sensing Qi in one day, refining essence into Qi in three days, and breaking through to Qi Refining Great Perfection in a hundred days, Li Wanshou awkwardly praised you, saying you had some of his style from back in the day]
[Not long after, you heard unexpected news]
[Your master, the great Elemental Infant cultivator, Master of Sen Sword Peak, Li Wanshou, was injured]
[You inquired repeatedly, learning that Li Wanshou had gone to other peaks to boast about your cultivation speed, and was beaten up by several Elemental Infant cultivators, you shook your head, feeling Li Wanshou indeed deserved it]
[Meanwhile, due to your astonishing cultivation speed, everyone on Sen Sword Peak was in awe]
[No one dared to mock or challenge you, the Heavenly Spiritual Root, like in brainless web novels, making your transmigration life feel rather dull]
[Your position as the senior disciple of Sen Sword Peak was incredibly secure]
[Everyone believed you would surely become a great Elemental Infant cultivator, perhaps even glimpse the Divine Transformation realm]
***
Boom—
Thunder rumbled, dark clouds covered the sky, strands of silver threads hung from the clouds, gradually converging into lines, then torn apart by the fierce wind, transforming into a stormy thunderstorm.
The rainy days on Sen Sword Peak were different from those in Blackstone City.
The former was serene and tranquil, the latter lively and noisy with human voices.
But one thing was the same.
There was always someone waiting for Xu Xi.
"Brother!!" A small figure, struggling to hold an oil-paper umbrella larger than herself, waved excitedly at Xu Xi from the cave entrance.
"I told you, you don't have to wait for me every time," Xu Xi took the oil-paper umbrella, tilting it slightly to better cover the small figure.
"But the book says doing this makes brother happy."
"Which book?"
"The '108 Ways to Capture a Man's Heart' that Dan Hall Sister lent me."
"..." Xu Xi fell silent for a moment, then rubbed Xu Moli's head, "Don't read such books anymore, they're not good for kids."
"Oh," the girl, already a budding beauty, seemed to understand but didn't.
She didn't need to understand.
As long as she listened to her brother.
That's what she thought.
The two walked in the rain, the large umbrella shielding them from the wind and rain, only a faint moist scent filling their noses.
When they returned to the cave, the formation activated automatically, completely isolating the sound of rain.
Speaking of the cave.
Most people's understanding is a quiet place like a stone cave.
But that's not the case.
In the cultivation world, the important thing about a cave dwelling is the concentration of spiritual energy, which determines the speed of cultivation. The specific living style doesn't matter much.
Xu Xi's cave dwelling was simple, much like the wooden house in Blackstone City, just a bit larger.
It also had a sense of emptiness and solitude.
Xu Xi didn't mind, but the girl was keen on changing it, often thinking of bringing in some flowers and plants to make the cave more lively.
When she got tired of playing, she would run to Xu Xi, pestering him with questions.

"Brother, what does cultivation feel like, can you fly to the sky too?"
"Of course, once I break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage next year, I can fly with a sword, and I'll take you with me."
"Great! Moli will always wait!"
"Don't worry, it won't be long."
Xu Xi patted Moli's little head.
The girl was very happy, her eyes lively, her corners of her eyes curved into a smile.
Then, Xu Xi opened his right hand, revealing two hard candies: "I bought these when I went out today, take them."
The girl was even happier, her eyes seemed to sparkle with stars: "Brother is the best!"
[Your cultivation journey is going smoothly]
[After reaching Qi Refining Great Perfection, you didn't rush to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, but followed Li Wanshou's advice to refine your foundation for a perfect establishment]
[During this time, you began to learn the Four Arts of Cultivation, namely traditional alchemy, artifact refining, formation arts, and talisman crafting]
[Your talent is astonishing, not only mastering the Four Arts in a short time but also having a sudden insight to develop a new pill formula]
[The sect valued this greatly, you received more rewards, and your and your sister's lives improved]
