In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
After all, Lu Chengze was just a disciple of the Taiyi Alliance. Although he was an Inner Sect Innate, since he had died, the turmoil he caused had largely subsided.
This is very normal, because that’s how Jianghu is.
Once a person is dead, no matter their status in life, death is death, and ti will completely erase their existence.
Xu Guang no longer cared either.
In a month’s ti, Fuyu had reached the current peak of cultivation he could achieve.
His panel showed that his level was already lv10.
He was just one step away from the Fifth Grade.
At this point, he could already use the Scattering Technique.
The Rain-Covering Qi at the peak of the Sixth Grade was enough for his Spiritual Power to reach the peak of Sixth Grade Great Cultivation.
Having experienced the wonders of the Spiritual Technique, he no longer had any desire to switch techniques.
And as long as he broke through the Fifth Grade, these Innate Techniques cultivated within the Sixth Grade realm could all be simulated and used with his Spiritual Power in tandem with Jade Cicada Qi.
There would be no wasted effort.
He didn’t want to wait anymore; the Scattering Technique was urgent.
So he went to the Wanhua Institute.
"Have you broken through?"
Xu Guang nodded, gently releasing the Rain-Covering Qi, the icy blue Qi surging like a vast ocean, powerful beyond asure.
Master Fuqing’s face showed a hint of admiration.
"You really are extraordinary, having reached the level of Sixth Grade Minor Cultivation. In the Wanhua Institute, there aren’t many stronger than you."
"It’s indeed right to take you as my student on behalf of my master."
Xu Guang smiled, "If not for Senior Sister’s support, I wouldn’t have achieved this today. Without the Spirit Crystals lent by Senior Sister, reaching my current realm would have taken a lot more effort."
Fuqing’s expression remained unchanged, but inside she was satisfied.
He wasn’t an ungrateful person.
"Since I’m taking you as a disciple on behalf of my master, your Receiving Talisman ceremony can’t be neglected. Next year, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, is our sect’s Grand Sacrifice. At that ti, I’ll inform our Sect Leader to announce this to the entire sect and invite the heads of the other eight institutes to witness..."
Xu Guang hesitated, "Won’t that be too ostentatious?"
Fuqing shook her head with a smile, "With your talent, today people might say it’s ostentatious, but tomorrow when you beco a Zhenren, others will only say you were born extraordinary, and moreover..."
She had initially valued Xu Guang for his combat prowess, regardless of whether he had borrowed the power of the Great Beast. At the very least, his power was sufficient to safeguard the rights of Wanhua Institute disciples.
Now, after just over half a year, having successfully cultivated the Rain-Covering Qi, and with the Celestial Register specifically helping the Great Beast to transform.
It was destined that Xu Guang’s future was bright; at least the Fifth Grade was certainly not his limit.
Perhaps in the future, even she, as a senior sister, might have to rely on this junior brother.
Fuqing hadn’t finished her words, but Xu Guang already knew that there must be more behind it. Since that was the case, even if just to save face for Fuqing, he couldn’t retreat at this mont.
He appropriately clasped his hands, three fingers crossed, thumbs pressing against each other, "Following the head’s orders!"
This was the formal Daoist sect etiquette at Jiufeng Mountain when facing seniors and those in higher positions.
Fuqing looked gratified, "I also have so expectations for you. Our sect holds a Grand Sacrifice every five years, and at the sa ti, selects candidates for entry into the Spirit Refining Pool. I know that when you ca to Chuannan Prefecture, the Sword Seal Institute promised to give you a spot, but obtaining a position unjustly can be more harmful than beneficial.
I hope that no matter what assessnt it is, you can participate and earn what should rightfully be yours openly and fairly. This would benefit both Wanhua Institute and you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Guang respectfully bowed once again.
"I will give my utmost effort to live up to the expectations of the head!"
"Alright, return to your cultivation. Should you encounter any trouble in cultivation, you can co to at any ti. I will also urge the Steward Hall to act; don’t act impulsively."
Xu Guang knew she was referring to the previous ti he was assassinated.
This concern, apart from Ah Wei, he hadn’t received in a long ti.
He felt a warmth in his heart.
Since entering, after conversing with Master Fuqing, her kindness towards him was without any ulterior motive. This kind of pure goodwill felt as though they were truly senior and junior siblings from the sa sect.
He truly felt grateful to Tang Yuming.
...
Chuannan Prefecture.
Moon Embracing Tower.
The Moon Embracing Tower is the tallest building in Chuannan Prefecture, rumored to have been constructed by the ancestor of the Cha Family, incorporating the principles of Feng Shui, chanisms, Yin Yang Five Elents, standing 26 stories tall, covering an area of over 6,000 square feet, embodying the intention of embracing the bright moon, and is one of the landmark buildings of Chuannan Prefecture.
With the Cha Family’s downfall, this Moon Embracing Tower now belongs to several major powers in Chuannan Prefecture.
As one of the current masters of Chuannan Prefecture, Jiufeng Mountain naturally has a share.
Floors seven to eleven are where Jiufeng Mountain disciples reside permanently.
In a private room on the eighth floor, elegant and exquisite, over one hundred square feet, sat dozens of people inside.
Lin Zushan sat at the head without any expression.
The table was surrounded by talents, all were from the Inner Sect of Jiufeng Mountain, at least at the Half-Step Innate level.
"Yu Ming, Xu Guang didn’t co?"
Tang Yuming shook his head, "Junior Martial Uncle Xu is in seclusion with so breakthroughs, currently digesting them."
Soone quipped sarcastically from the side.
"You folks from Wanhua Institute really do have a grand style. Didn’t co when invited by the sect last ti, and again not this ti. Is it that you look down on Senior Brother Lin?"
Tang Yuming responded with neither arrogance nor humility, "This is the master’s instruction, no one is allowed to disturb Junior Martial Uncle Xu. Junior Brother Huang, if you really want to see Junior Martial Uncle Xu, perhaps you can personally send a letter to the master."
That disciple was at a loss for words and sought help from Lin Zushan.
Lin Zushan was a Fifth-Grade Expert, even if his cultivation was shallow, Master Fuqing would give face and reluctantly take Xu Guang’s invitation.
But his letter...
If Master Fuqing even glanced at a word, it would be considered enough face given to him.
Lin Zushan’s eyes showed a hint of displeasure, and he tily spoke, "Indeed, cultivation is more important."
Just that in his heart, a hint of impatience towards Master Fuqing arose.
