After Ruan Lingyao ca out, she slowly walked up to Brother Cheng.
The girl took a deep breath, her expression becoming incomparably sacred yet serious.
From her beautiful face, one could even see a faint sacred radiance.
Then, she also stood on tiptoe, mustered the courage to close her eyes, and kissed him.
Brother Cheng thought to himself, although I don't require anyone else to kiss, with you all being so enthusiastic, I can't really refuse, can I?
After a kiss, Ruan Lingyao was so shy she covered her face and stepped aside, speechless.
Completely unlike Zhongli Qiao who was so excited and jubilant before.
Nor like Li Hanyu with that unusual calmness.
Brother Cheng shrugged with a smile: "Alright, alright, look over here. I'm going to teach you profound arts now."
As a steward of the Judgent Team directly under the Great Hall Master, Ruan Lingyao's talent and understanding were a bit better than Zhongli Qiao's. She was actually being grood as the next Palace Master.
The first entry-level technique wasn't too difficult to begin with, and under Brother Cheng's demonstration and explanation, it gradually took shape.
"Thank you, Great Sage, for the instruction!"
She didn't dare to go up and kiss like Zhongli Qiao.
After cultivating alone to the side, Brother Cheng looked at the remaining five won.
"Who's next?"
The remaining five won looked at each other hesitantly.
Then, Zhuo Aoxin stepped forward.
"Great Sage, don't you think this is a bit much?"
"Huh, what's wrong?"
"A kiss is a very sacred and significant thing for us, not a trifling matter!"
With a serious face, she said: "Using profound arts as leverage to force us into such inappropriate actions, you lose the dignity of a Great Sage and it affects our respect for you!"
Brother Cheng thought to himself that he hadn't noticed much respect from them to begin with.
"So you an you don't want to kiss?"
Zhuo Aoxin was silent for a mont, then determination flashed in her eyes.
"That's right!"
"If kissing is necessary, then I am withdrawing!"
Brother Cheng looked at the remaining four won: "Is that what you all think too?"
The four won nodded in unison.
Deep inside, they already felt their power was much stronger than his.
Coming here to ask for guidance, it was more about humility.
Were it not for his status as a Great Sage, seeing us in the Divine Hall, he should be paying respects.
Why take advantage of us?
Brother Cheng smiled: "Alright, then you don't need to kiss."
Huh?
Including Zhuo Aoxin, the five won were stunned.
This answer was sothing they'd never imagined.
They originally thought Jiang Cheng would insist strongly, then there'd be a dispute on both sides, and finally, even the Palace Masters would intervene, and a new group of people would be chosen.
Unexpectedly, he gave up this condition with such a casual remark?
This made them feel sowhat unreal.
Even Zhongli Qiao and Ruan Lingyao on the side were incredibly surprised.
"What's up with you all, I never intended for you to kiss anyway."
Brother Cheng looked at Li Hanyu, who was still lost in her own world in the distance, and smiled: "This condition was just sothing I agreed upon with her, it was never about you."
Oh, wow!
Thinking carefully, when Sage Jiang initially intended to teach the seven of them, he only said who was next.
He never ntioned any conditions.
Did we all overthink it initially?
The remaining five won imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, looking quite relieved.
In fact, if Jiang Cheng had insisted, eventually the Palace Masters would definitely choose a new group.
And those five of them would then an they hadn't completed the significant task of their hall.
Now, it's the best outco.
However, Ruan Lingyao on the side was feeling a bit wounded.
She looked at Brother Cheng with resentnt; since there was no need to kiss, why didn't you say so earlier?
Brother Cheng could sense the girl's gaze but could only pretend not to notice for now.
"Then I'll go!"
Seeing there was no need for kissing, Zhuo Aoxin hesitated no longer.
She stood at the front, waiting for Jiang Cheng to impart his teachings.
"Before I teach you, first activate the morial Profound Artifact and record the process." Brother Cheng thoughtfully advised.
Zhuo Aoxin realized this was a good idea, as she could review and study it later.
Once she activated the morial Profound Artifact, Brother Cheng demonstrated a technique of Combat Power's profound art.
Then, even before Zhuo Aoxin could ask questions, he directly explained the formula and essentials of that technique.
The entire process took less than five minutes.
Then he waved: "Alright, you can go practice on your own, next."
This...
Zhuo Aoxin was stunned, isn't this too brief?
The procedure seed to lack many steps compared to the previous two.
When those two were learning profound arts, weren't you guiding them hand-by-hand, watching their practice, and constantly correcting them?
Especially Zhongli Qiao, who not only practiced it one more ti but was also taught painstakingly hand-by-hand for a whole three hours!
How co mine is over in the ti it takes to burn a stick of incense?
She felt compelled to speak again: "Great Sage, isn't this a bit too concise?"
"Concise?"
Brother Cheng smilingly spread his hands: "I've already explained the entire technique, isn't that enough?"
He wasn't wrong.
If soone unintentionally obtained a book of profound arts, they'd have to comprehend it themselves.
Brother Cheng's recently recorded 'explanation video' was already very detailed, with many of his own interpretations included, saving her a lot of effort.
It's just that the comparison with the previous two's treatnt seed a bit grim.
Zhuo Aoxin frowned: "But there are parts I still don't understand..."
"If you don't understand, you can take the artifact back and consult the War Spirit Hall Master. His realm is higher and he will surely understand."
"A master guides you to the door, cultivation is personal. You can't rely on to teach everything. I don't have that kind of ti; I have my own cultivation, too, don't I?"
Zhuo Aoxin wanted to negotiate: "But earlier they..."
"Oh, those were extra bonuses. You also said kissing isn't a ga; if a beauty offers a kiss, how can I refuse such favor?" Brother Cheng replied matter-of-factly.
Zhuo Aoxin was rendered speechless.
The man's reasoning was sound, wasn't it? You've learned it without a kiss, so what's there to be dissatisfied about?
As for extra bonuses, that's based on mood; not everyone gets a share.
The once-aggrieved Ruan Lingyao imdiately felt relieved; her kiss wasn't a waste after all.
While the remaining four won were a bit conflicted.
This ultimate level profound art was too profound and mysterious. Without Sage Jiang's personal guidance, the difficulty increased many tis over.
The Palace Masters are all in the Celestial Profound Realm with rich cultivation experience. The video version explanation might be sufficient for them.
But with their humble realm and understanding, they couldn't quite grasp much.
The result would be serving rely as a relay, transferring the 'explanation video' to the Palace Masters.
Yet before they could speak, Brother Cheng preemptively closed off their hesitation.
"As I said, you don't need to kiss . I'm actually quite busy myself and don't have the ti to teach each person slowly."
"Alright, alright, the next one, the next one!"
With that, even if they wanted to change their minds, it was too late.
And so, in just over 20 minutes, Brother Cheng completed the entire instructional process.
Then he returned to the Quiet Chamber to begin refining the Secret Void Holy Sand, enhancing his new Profound Pattern Realm.
As for how well the won outside could each practice, he didn't really care.
