My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

Li Shiyin stood up, unsheathing her Xingchen sword, about to rush over to stop them as she saw the situation.

"Don't move," Qin Ran stopped her, "This formation is called the 'Myriad Ghosts Life-Reaping Formation'. The ghosts haven't even appeared yet, the formation isn't activated yet... You need to help me break the formation."

Li Shiyin looked at the soldiers fighting and killing each other, gripping her sword tighter and tighter, but still listened to her master's words and sat down cross-legged.

The thousand elite riders confronting each other today, whether Xuanqin's five hundred or North Chu's five hundred, were all battle-hardened veterans capable of fighting ten men alone. The willpower of these people was actually extremely tenacious, but they were all like this now, so the common people in the city...

She dared not think further.

The longer it took, the more affected the soldiers were by the formation, and the more frenzied they became, fighting and killing each other more fiercely. In just a short time, hundreds of people had already been killed or injured out of the total thousand elite soldiers.

Because Li Shiwen had cultivated the body tempering techniques given to him by Qin Ran and experienced great ups and downs, his mental willpower was much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers.

As the soldiers in the formation fought and killed each other, he still had the energy to reach out and try to stop them.

Relying on his strong martial prowess, he pulled many soldiers apart and prevented many tragedies.

After all, he was just an ordinary mortal. His soul and Primordial Spirit were no different. He gradually realized that something was wrong with himself too.

Sometimes he didn't want to pull apart the soldiers who were about to kill each other, sometimes he also wanted their blades and spears to stab him, sometimes he would unconsciously use too much force...

He was also becoming more and more abnormal.

Then...

He saw another brother's blade about to slash towards another brother's neck again. He was very anxious and stretched out his own blade to block this slash, then forcefully swung back, intending to deflect this slash.

He did deflect this slash.

But he didn't restrain his power.

His strength was many times greater than that of this soldier.

"Clang!"

"Pfft!"

For some reason, half of this soldier's brain flew out.

Holding the blade in his hand, he stared blankly at the robe-clad brother who was slowly falling down. This brother, who had fought Xuanqin for half a year from Mount Hengduan to Mount Wuyi without dying, had died at his hands.

He deserved to die ten thousand...

Just then someone charged at him from the side. With agile movements he turned and blocked, then powerfully kicked, sending this brother flying dozens of feet away, clearly unable to survive.

"No..." He cried out.

Then he joined the battle.

Li Shiyin watched this scene and shouted again, "Master!"

Qin Ran looked up at Li Shiwen. Li Shiwen was controlling his own hand with difficulty while revealing a pained expression, and at the same time...

Hacking and slashing!

"Alas, you go..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden change on the battlefield.

On Xuanqin's side, someone with cultivator aura had unleashed their power and was activating their magic power, casting magic!

His heart skipped a beat as he hastily looked over, only to see Zhao Yaqing soloing happily with her sword.

... Aunt Mei and the other Cloud Heaven Sect cultivators didn't know whether to stop her for fear of harming her.

As Foundation Establishment cultivators of similar level, Li Shiyin's Primordial Spirit was overbearing and completely unaffected by the formation. But Zhao Yaqing had already gone berserk in madness!

"Such a mentality..." He sighed to himself.

"Boom!"

Finally, two sword lights that shot to the sky came from Xuanqin's military camp, killing towards the air.

"The Yuanying cultivators of Boundless Sword Sect have made their move," Li Shiyin said somewhat eagerly.

In an instant, the sky was filled with scattered sword qi that sliced open and shredded all the black clouds in this piece of sky. More sword qi drifted down, stilling the raging winds.

As the black clouds dispersed, finally some light leaked out from between them. The people below who were either desperately struggling or wielding blades to kill were illuminated by this light, and they suddenly sobered up, awakening from their frenzied state.

The blade Li Shiwen had hacked out also abruptly stopped.

The soldier under his blade couldn't help but feel as if he had survived death and cried out to him, "Thank you, General, for not killing me!"

Li Shiwen looked at him, squeezing out a smile and nodding. He turned back and saw over a dozen people lying askew behind him...

All killed by him with his own hands.

He thought again of the Tian Ce Army soldiers who had died because of him in the Hengduan Mountains...

"Master, look!"

Li Shiyin pointed at the two Boundless Sword Sect cultivators driving away the dark clouds in the sky, rather delighted. As expected, sword cultivators needed to forge ahead dauntlessly. What use were formations? Violent destruction would settle things.

But she didn't see a smile on Qin Ran's face. Qin Ran sighed and said to her, "These are people who don't understand formations.

"You only know how to recklessly spill magic power, as if raving madly at empty ground. Other than wasting magic power, it's completely useless."

"But..." Li Shiyin didn't agree with Qin Ran's words and pointed at the sky.

Then...

She saw that the clouds that had been stirred up by their sword qi were slowly recovering, and the winds on the ground that had been stilled by the sword qi were slowly picking up again.

"These are all just external forms, like smoke, fog, and air. Such destruction has a negligible effect on the formation," Qin Ran explained to Li Shiyin.

"Master..." Li Shiyin pursed her lips and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"While the effect is tiny, it's not nonexistent," Qin Ran shook his head. "At least it allowed me to see more variations of this formation, so I can infer more about the underlying formations."

The two people from Boundless Sword Sect in the air saw that the winds and clouds they had driven away were slowly restoring themselves. They knitted their brows but could only continue using their sword qi to still the winds and disperse the clouds.

Although what they were doing had little effect on the formation itself and basically no chance of breaking it like this, their persistent disruption of the external manifestation of the formation in the air did at least stop the minds and souls of living beings within it from being influenced again.

In the end, Li Shiwen didn't stab himself with the blade and casually stabbed it into the ground as he silently bandaged the wounded soldiers.

Seeing this, Li Shiyin sheathed her sword and sat cross-legged next to Qin Ran.

She watched the two people slicing through the clouds for quite a while and knew their comprehension of the sword dao was inferior to her own, so she was no longer concerned about such useless deeds. She drew her gaze back to look at her master busily calculating and deduced that what her master was doing was useful work.

There was a common saying that earnest men were the most handsome.

Although her master had always been the best looking one in Li Shiyin's eyes, at this moment as he earnestly calculated, he did seem to have a bit more charm.

The expression on his face wasn't the usual gentle smile, nor the insincere smile when he was scheming against others, but rather an earnest look, containing a kind of innocent passion towards knowledge, an obsession. He was completely immersed in his own world.

This obsession captivated her.

She thought that she could just quietly watch her master like this for a whole lifetime without ever tiring of it.

At a certain moment, Master stopped calculating. He picked up the draft paper and stood up, turning around in circles as he looked everywhere, also comparing with the draft paper in his hand, seemingly looking for some location.

He searched for quite a while before suddenly pointing to the empty space on the left side of Xuanqin's military camp and said to Li Shiyin, "That spot over there. Shiyin, use your sword qi to immobilize that area."

"As expected, Master is the strongest to have found the method to break the formation so quickly," Li Shiyin thought. "What use is the higher martial strength of those two Yuanying cultivators in the sky? They're still just reckless sword-wielders!"

Thinking this, she stood up, drew her sword, circulated her magic power, and condensed a strand of sword qi, accurately stabbing towards the location pointed out by Master.

As the sword qi shot out, there was star power in the sky hooked by the Xingchen sword qi that fell on that empty ground over there, making the sword qi on the ground even more magnificent.

"Power of the stars?" Qin Ran noticed this scene, he looked up at the sky, murmuring, "This formation doesn't even block the power of the stars, which means its complexity is lower than I imagined... At least it doesn't involve spatial formations."

Qian Kun formations are already difficult in themselves, if Qian Kun formations are combined into compound formations, then the difficulty would geometrically increase.

"Master, what else should we do?" Li Shiyin asked.

Qin Ran held a pen, modifying on the paper, after a while, he finally instructed Li Shiyin: "Over there, that small mountain, fix its peak in place."

Purple sword qi pierced through the mountain peak, fixing it in place.

As this sword qi flew out, the wind in the formation, suddenly stopped.

"This is the formation base!" Qin Ran was somewhat excited, "Shiyin, we found one of the formation bases!"

Seeing Qin Ran so happy, Li Shiyin was also very happy.

"Yes master, we really are amazing!"

With one formation base destroyed, the master of the formation was angered. Suddenly, there was a ghostly, demonic roar between heaven and earth, followed by sounds of "squeaky screaming" roars, everywhere between heaven and earth, transparent creatures were struggling, they were like outside a thin film, wanting to break through the film and come into this world.

"Master, what are these things?!"

Li Shiyin looking at the indefinite, unnamable things floating in midair, she felt strangely horrified, and her skin crawled.

"Myriad Ghosts Life-Reaping Formation..." Seeing this, Qin Ran actually smiled instead, only when the formation appeared like this did he say, "Naturally those are the myriad ghosts!"

"Ghosts... Ghosts?!" What girl isn't afraid of ghosts? Even the powerful Li Shiyin was so scared her tongue twisted.
