Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Guiding a wise student
The place created by Yu Lin did look good. It looked at least better than the place he lived. It was also very spacious, making Eren feel like living here.
As he could fly now, he didn't have to worry about falling off the cliff when he left his house. But still, that old ancient hut always made him annoyed.
He still hadn't understood why Ren had decided to stay there when he owned the entire mountain.
"Master," Yu Lin's voice called out softly, catching Eren's attention.
He turned to see her standing there, a gentle smile on her face.
"I see you've noticed the new addition," she said, a hint of pride in her tone. "Now you can also stay here."
"Is she your disciple?" Yelen asked while circling around Yu Lin, observing her with great curiosity.
"She seems to be quite talented, but at the same time, she feels a little familiar," she said, trying to think long and hard.
Eren pondered about her words. Was there a reason for her to find Yu Lin familiar? There shouldn't be such a thing. Was it just her misconception?
'Familiar in what way?'.Eren asked, using his thoughts.
"I'm not sure. Maybe I'm just overthinking. But she reminds me of someone. However, that person was much older. Maybe she's a descendant of that person?" Yelen pondered, shaking the thought off.
'It would make sense if you're thinking about some ancestor. After all, her mother's lineage is quite extraordinary that even I don't want to approach it yet,' Eren responded, not thinking much about her words.
Yelen lived in an era that had long passed away. Even if she came back to life, it felt impossible for her to meet Yu Lin in the past.
So her assumption made sense. It was just a familiar feeling and not completely identical after all. He was still quite curious about which ancestor of Yu Lin Yelen had met in the past.
"Master, did you not like the place?" Yu Lin asked, slightly concerned about Eren's silence.
"It looks good." Eren shifted his attention back to Yu Lin, not having much time to be distracted. He already had quite a few problems to solve in his life. He didn't have time to go on a wild goose chase.
"Did you learn the skill that I left to you?" he got back to the reason he came here.
He hadn't given Yu Lin any personal training. All he gave her were a few skill books because he himself couldn't understand them.
He was curious to see if Yu Lin had managed to master the book that even the daughter of Mist was after.
"The book..." Yu Lin turned serious.
Looking at her serious expressions, Eren was sure that she had failed. He was about to console her, almost reaching out his hand to pat her when Yu Lin continued.
"It was incredible!" Yu Lin said, surprising Eren. "The more I immerse myself in the Elemental Art, the more I realize how incredible that book is!"
"Even after all this time, I only managed to learn the first part only." She lowered her head, as if she was disappointed in herself.
Despite receiving such a precious gift, she had only managed to master the first part. She felt like she had disappointed Eren with her weak comprehension.
Meanwhile, Eren was looking at her in disbelief. How was it possible for her to learn the first part in such a short time?
In the novel, she had a powerful master as well as the help of the main character and a lot of battle experience.
Despite that, she had taken a few months to master the first part of the Elemental Art. And now she was saying that she learned it already?
"Master, there is one thing about the next part that I don't quite understand. Can you..." she slightly hesitated as she tried to ask for his help.
She pulled out the book that looked just as worn out as before. She carefully opened one particular page in the book, that was the beginning of the second chapter of the Elemental Art.
"Can Master enlighten this foolish disciple?" she asked while approaching Eren.
She gave Eren the book, pointing at the passage that she didn't understand. Meanwhile Eren just blankly looked at the page.
Was this a test for him? How was he supposed to know what it meant? He was a complete newbie when it came to cultivation. That's why he didn't even try to learn cultivation from the beginning as he didn't even have the most basic knowledge.
If he was to start learning cultivation after he came to this world, it would have taken him at least ten years to reach the same level as the servants in the Demon Sect.
That's why, the only option for him was to recover his own cultivation, which didn't need him to know the basics.
The other option was to uncover more memories about how Ren had learned cultivation despite being from the Necromancer Tower. But that looked just as unlikely as he hadn't received any more memory fragments.
"Master?" Yu Lin asked, looking at Eren's narrowed gaze. She felt like he was angry at her for not even understanding such a basic thing.
Her hands were behind her back as she silently waited for Eren's response, her fingers fidgeting.
She didn't know that Eren wasn't upset at her. He was just trying to understand what the heck the first line even meant?
What did it mean by connecting the nebula to the second pressure point and accumulating the frost essence from the mind realm while guiding the essence to the seventh spiritual point?
When he was reading such nonsense in the Novels, he didn't think much about it as the Main Character was always able to understand such nonsense one way or another. He mostly even skipped this boring part.
"Ah, this..." He nodded, his back covered in cold sweat. "I see."
