Chapter 27: Master Has Become More Good-Looking
"Hu hu hu—"
Because both of them had the tokens of sect disciples, the flying sword easily passed through the defense of the mountain-protecting formation and headed straight for Gu Qingyao's Ethereal Peak.
"Pa da—"
The flying sword slowly landed. The two of them landed gently without raising any dust.
"Let's go. Master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Xia Yuning straightened her slightly ruffled dress and used her spirit energy to suppress the blush on her face before speaking calmly.
"Oh."
Ye Xuan nodded. Looking at the scenery around him that had barely changed, he felt a little emotional.
It had been so many years since he descended from the mountain, and his offspring had already exceeded a thousand.
However, to immortals with long lifespans, this time was just a blink of an eye.
Even the various spiritual plants planted on the mountain had a longer lifespan than mortals.
A flower blooms for ten generations, and is still there when people leave.
…
The two of them followed the winding path between the mountains and quickly arrived at the top of the mountain.
It was still the same cliff, the same jade stone platform, and on it sat a white-haired Lolita.
After so many years, this scene seemed to have never changed.
"Greetings, Master!" The two of them bowed to Gu Qingyao. Xia Yuning said, "Master, I've brought Junior Brother back."
At that moment, Gu Qingyao, who was cultivating with her eyes closed, finally opened her eyes slowly and turned to look at Ye Xuan.
Her beautiful light blue eyes seemed to contain a galaxy, making people feel like they would lose themselves just by looking at them.
"Master, I'm back."
Ye Xuan grinned, looking very happy.
After not seeing her for so many years, Gu Qingyao had become prettier again. It was most likely because her strength had improved.
Although he was only at Level 8 of the Qi Refinement Stage, he could also clearly feel that the sense of oppression from Gu Qingyao was stronger.
"As expected of a Grade-7 spiritual root. As expected, it's not an exaggeration."
"If only you could bear me a child, I'll fly immediately."
Ye Xuan had a smile on his face and looked very happy.
"Yes, it's good that you're back."
Gu Qingyao smiled and nodded slightly at Ye Xuan.
Although Gu Qingyao tried her best to maintain her image as an elder,
to Ye Xuan, Gu Qingyao was still very adorable.
Gu Qingyao sensed Ye Xuan's gaze and her vast divine subconsciousness landed on Ye Xuan. She was stunned and her bright eyes widened. She asked in disbelief, "You're at Level 8 of the Qi Refinement Stage???"
"Master, what are you talking about? Junior Brother was only at Level 6 five years ago. Now he…"
Before Xia Yuning could finish speaking, she sensed the Level 8 of the Qi Refinement Stage aura released by Ye Xuan's body because it automatically resisted the pressure from Gu Qingyao.
In the next moment, she froze on the spot.
"How is that possible!"
"Junior Brother, when did you reach Level 8 of the Qi Refinement Stage???"
Xia Yuning revealed a look of disbelief as well, feeling that her worldview had been overturned.
Previously, when Ye Xuan reached Level 6 of the Qi Refinement Stage, she and her Master had guessed that Ye Xuan might have obtained some good fortune in the ruins, resulting in his cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds, which was understandable.
However, it had only been less than four years and Ye Xuan had advanced by two small levels?
This cultivation speed was even faster than hers. Who exactly had a Grade-5 spiritual root??
"Master, my spiritual root is special. My cultivation speed is faster in the mortal world. This is my achievement over the years."
Ye Xuan bowed slightly, but there was a smile at the corner of his mouth. This was the first time he had seen his Lolita Master show such an expression. It was simply adorable.
When Gu Qingyao saw Ye Xuan's expression, she immediately knew that she had lost her composure. She hurriedly put away her shocked expression and said calmly, "Not bad. I didn't expect you to be so talented. If I had known earlier, I would have let you enter the mortal world earlier to train."
Although she did not know how Ye Xuan cultivated, she had never heard of his special spiritual root.
However, she had sent people to investigate Ye Xuan and his wives and concubines. It was enough to confirm that Ye Xuan did not use any demonic cultivator's methods.
"Junior Brother, if you had shown such talent earlier, your cultivation might have surpassed mine…" Xia Yuning was shocked and emotional.
Ye Xuan had been delayed for so many years, yet he could actually reach Level 8 of the Qi Refinement Stage. If he had entered the world earlier, he might have built his foundation long ago.
Ye Xuan said that his spiritual root was special and his cultivation speed was faster in the mortal world. She naturally did not believe it before.
But now, she was starting to waver.
"Alright, tomorrow is the sect competition. Little Xuan, since you are so talented, you can find a chance to show off. If you can achieve a certain ranking, the sect will give you a lot of rewards." Gu Qingyao smiled at Ye Xuan.
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Xia Yuning and said indifferently, "Yuning, bring Little Xuan to the Library Pavilion. His cultivation level is now at Level 8 of the Qi Refinement Stage. It's time for him to choose a suitable cultivation technique to cultivate."
"Yes, Master!"
Xia Yuning had actually guessed that and hurriedly replied respectfully.
Most of the cultivation techniques of the Ten Thousand Flower Sect were suitable for women to cultivate, but it was not that there were none that were suitable for men. It was just that the levels were relatively low.
The levels of cultivation techniques were relatively simple. They were divided into four tiers: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.
The higher the levels, the faster the cultivation speed, but the corresponding difficulty in comprehension would also be higher.
A suitable cultivation technique was the most important to a cultivator. Next was the completeness and upper limit of the cultivation technique.
The reason why cultivation techniques were rare was because they determined a person's cultivation.
Without a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation technique, one would not be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. If one forcefully broke through, there was a high chance that he would self-destruct and die. There was a small chance that all his meridians would be completely severed.
Therefore, most independent cultivators were only at the Qi Refinement Stage. It was not that they were not talented, but that they did not have the cultivation techniques.
Most of the powerful cultivation techniques were incomplete and basically only had the Qi Refinement section.
The Ten Thousand Flower Sect only had one complete Earth Stage cultivation technique. It was also the sect's ultimate technique—Ten Thousand Flower Scripture. It could be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul Realm at most.
Because it was too profound, only disciples with extraordinary talent and comprehension could cultivate it.
Inner sect disciples could obtain the content of the Ten Thousand Flower Scripture at the Qi Refinement Stage and Foundation Establishment Realm.
The personal disciples were able to obtain the content of the Golden Core Realm, and only cultivators above the elder level were qualified to comprehend the complete version of the Ten Thousand Flower Scripture.
It was a pity that Ye Xuan was a man. Otherwise, with the talent he displayed now, he might be very suitable to cultivate the Ten Thousand Flower Scripture.
…
"Junior Brother, what kind of cultivation technique do you want?"
Walking on the small path in the Library Pavilion, Xia Yuning looked at Ye Xuan and asked seriously.
He knew that Ye Xuan cultivated the most basic "Qi Inhalation Technique". This entry level was extremely simple. It could be said to be the most common cultivation technique in the immortal-cultivation world. Moreover, it did not have any attributes and could be changed to other cultivation techniques at will.
However, the Qi Inhalation Technique was only suitable for newcomers. In other words, it only had the Qi Refinement section. If he wanted to build his foundation, he had to find a higher-level cultivation technique.
"I don't care, as long as I can build my foundation."
Ye Xuan waved his hand casually. He did not have any requirements for cultivation techniques. In any case, it was the same whether he cultivated or not.
He was thinking of casually exchanging for a cheaper cultivation technique to cultivate after reaching the maximum of the Qi Refinement Stage.
However, even the cheapest Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation technique required 200 years of lifespan. Since he could freeload, he naturally would not waste his lifespan.
The most urgent thing for him now was to improve the quality of his spiritual root. Otherwise, he would suffer a huge loss after entering the Foundation Establishment Realm.
As for powerful divine powers, as long as one's lifespan was long enough, they could be exchanged from the System Shop and could be maxed out with one click.
What was he afraid of?
