nAfter obtaining the “Basic Cultivation Method of the Qi Refining Stage” book, Chu Yuan finally left the Drunken Immortal inn under the shopkeeper’s eager gaze.

nChu Yuan had a sudden impulse to cultivate now that he had obtained this book!

n

n

nHe wanted to try cultivating on his own.

nPerhaps he was actually a hidden one-in-a-million genius!?

nWith this thought in mind, Chu Yuan immediately returned to the Daoless Sect.

nWhen he was back, he saw that Ye Luo was still sitting on the square outside the main hall comprehending the Dao while Zhang Han… Well, he couldn’t be bothered with him anymore and thus did not care where he was.

n

n

nHe then returned to his palace, closed the door, and entered seclusion to cultivate.

n…

nChu Yuan cultivated in seclusion for more than two months.

nIn these two months, the outside world was in turmoil.

n

n

nOn the other hand, the Daoless Sect was as calm as water.

nYe Luo and Zhang Han were busy with their own things.

nDuring the day, Ye Luo would observe the sky and comprehend the Dao. At night, he would practice his swordsmanship and comprehend the key that his Master had given him.

nZhang Han studied formations day and night, attempting to connect with the sun, moon, stars, and everything in the world.

nAnd, of course, Chu Yuan cultivated his Dharmic power.

nIn the palace, the seclusion room…

n

n

nChu Yuan was seated cross-legged on a mat and slowly opened his eyes. He extended his hand from his sleeve and looked at it for a long time. His deep eyes flashed with excitement.

nIt had been two months!

nHe had succeeded in cultivating by himself!

nHe had successfully condensed a trace of Dharmic power through the “Basic Cultivation Method of the Qi Refining Stage” book!

nEven though it was just a tiny bit, this was at least a good start for him!

nAs long as he cultivated arduously and continued grooming useless disciples, his cultivation would increase by leaps and bounds.

nThe path to invincibility was right before his eyes!

nDid everyone really think that he was just joking when he said that he was going to cultivate from a Golden Core cultivator to a supreme being?

n

n

nIf he cultivated diligently and reached the middle-stage of the Golden Core stage a year later, coupled with the system’s reward of a small realm from grooming Zhang Han to become a useless cultivator, he would become an existence at the advanced-stage of the Golden Core stage!

nReturning to the Nascent Soul stage was just around the corner!

nChu Yuan had already imagined the future, where he would stand invincible, with his back facing all the living beings in this world.

nUpon thinking of that scene, Chu Yuan could not help but laugh foolishly.

nAfter counting the days, there were about eight to nine months before the system review of his disciples’ strength would begin.

nIn another eight to nine months, he would achieve a breakthrough!

n“It’s been two months. I wonder how my two disciples are doing,” Chu Yuan muttered and released his divine sense to scan the sect.

nWithin his consciousness…

nZhang Han was still reading in the Hall of Impartation.

nCould it be that this fellow had been reading continuously for two months?

nWhat’s so good about a bunch of fake books?

nHuh?

nWhere was Ye Luo?

n

n

nChu Yuan’s divine sense swept across the main hall square, but he did not find Ye Luo.

nWhere did this fellow go?

nConfused, Chu Yuan scanned the entire Daoless Sect with his divine sense.

nHe finally found Ye Luo. It turned out that this fellow was at the mountain gate, calling out ‘Master’ as if he was looking for him.

n“Why is this fellow looking for me? Could it be that he has thought it through and hopes for me to give him pointers? What good timing. Maybe I can try to get his cultivation technique this time round.”

nChu Yuan’s eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he opened the door and headed toward Ye Luo.

nAt this moment, behind the Daoless Sect’s main gate…

nYe Luo was carrying his sword and walking along the mountain path.

nHe wore a green flowing crane robe with wide sleeves that fluttered in the wind. His black hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin, and the golden mark on his forehead was constantly flickering. His eyes were sharp and indifferent.

nHe felt like an immortal, aloof like snow.

nIt was as if a sword immortal from the heavens had descended to the mortal world and was walking through the mortal world.

n“Where is Master?” Ye Luo muttered to himself.

nHe had been comprehending the Dao for more than two months and had already reached a bottleneck. He planned on leaving the mountain to gain experience.

nBefore he left, he planned to inform his Master.

nBut no matter how hard he looked, he could not find his Master.

nYe Luo frowned and was about to use his Dao runes as a medium to call his Master out.

nJust as he was about to shout, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

nUpon closer inspection, it was Chu Yuan.

nYe Luo was stunned.

nWas his Master’s realm so profound?

nNo matter how he had been trying to call for his Master without using the Dao runes, his Master would just not appear.

nHowever, just as he was about to use the Dao runes as a medium to call his Master, he had suddenly appeared before him.

nWas this a coincidence!?

nWould anyone really think that it was a coincidence?

nNo way, no way.

nCould it be that someone really thought so?

nIf it were anyone else, it would definitely be a coincidence.

nBut if it were a peerless expert like his Master, that was definitely not a coincidence.

nHis Master was actually so sensitive to Dao runes!

nJust what sort of cultivation realm did he possess to be able to achieve such a feat?

nJust as the thought of using Dao runes flashed through his mind, it was sensed by his Master immediately.

n“Master!”

nYe Luo bowed to his Master obediently.

n“Luo’er, you… Hmm, why are you looking for me? Have you thought it through and hope for me to guide you?”

nChu Yuan was slightly surprised in his heart, but his expression remained calm.

nHow long had it been since he had last seen Ye Luo?

nIt had only been two months.

nHow had he changed so much?

nTwo months ago, he still felt like a mortal.

nNow, he felt like he was an arrogant sword immortal.

nGulp…

nChu Yuan secretly swallowed his saliva.

nHe was thinking.

nCould he still beat this disciple now?

nWhen Ye Luo heard Chu Yuan’s question, he couldn’t help but laugh.

nTwo months had passed, yet his Master still wanted to test his Dao Heart.

nYe Luo cupped his hands and said, “Disciple appreciates Master’s good intentions. Disciple wishes to seek an audience with Master, not for the sake of guidance.”

nHe sounded amused. Especially when he mentioned the word ‘guidance’, his smile became even wider.

nChu Yuan frowned and asked, “Then why are you calling out for me?”

nWhen Ye Luo heard this, he took an exquisite invitation out of his pocket.

nThe surface of the invitation was covered in a layer of gold foil and was gorgeous. On the left was a lifelike Phoenix, and on the right was a domineering golden dragon.

nIn the middle was an ancient character, ‘Qian’.

n“Master, this sect invited me to watch the sect competition three months ago. Now that the three months are almost up, I plan to go down the mountain and gain some experience as well as pay a visit to this sect,” Ye Luo said softly.

nChu Yuan looked at the invitation and could not help but suck in a cold breath.

nWhich sect’s invitation was this?

nThis invitation seemed to be very valuable.

nIf he took the invitation, would Ye Luo fall out with him?

nAhem, forget it.

nHe was a fair Master.

nHow could he snatch something from his disciple?

nChu Yuan raised his brows and asked, “Which sect is this from?”

n“Master, it’s the Qian Emperor Dao Sect. I don’t know what sect it is,” Ye Luo answered honestly.

nWhen Chu Yuan heard this, he was stunned.

nThe Qian Emperor Dao Sect?

nHe knew which sect that was.

nIt was the sect where the scheming Grand Elder he had met in the Xuantian Mountain Range came from.

nThere were so many people who had wanted to give him gifts that day, but the scheming Grand Elder had destroyed all of them, leaving nothing but dust for him.

nHe would remember this grudge for the rest of his life.

nAt the thought of this, Chu Yuan could not help but gnash his teeth.

n“Luo’er, go down the mountain and participate in this trash sect competition. If you have the chance, make sure to cause trouble in the sect, do you understand?”

nIn any case, Ye Luo seemed very strong now. He would let this back-stabbing disciple take revenge for him.

nOn the other hand, although Ye Luo was stunned when he heard this, he still nodded. He had always obeyed his Master’s words.
