nAfter leaving the Jade Serene Peak, Han Jue was about to return to his cave abode when Liu Sanxin approached him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

nLiu Sanxin smiled and said,

"Junior, I appreciate your good intentions. If you encounter any trouble in the future, feel free to ask me for help.

"

nHan Jue blinked and said,

"I wish you success, senior!

"

nHow could he deny a favor that came knocking on his door?

n

"Haha!

"

nLiu Sanxin laughed and left.

nHan Jue had only taken a few steps when Chang Yue'er caught up to him.

n

"Junior, you haven't done any sect missions yet, right? Do you want me to guide you through one?

" Chang Yue'er asked with a smile.

n

"No thanks, I want to cultivate.

"

n

"Cultivating in the cave abode is very slow. You can earn spirit stones by completing missions and then go to various spiritual pools to cultivate. It's much more efficient. At the same time, you'll also get contribution points by completing missions. If your contribution points are high, you can buy pills.

"

n

"Nevermind. I'm afraid of death.

"

n

"How can we cultivators be afraid of death?

"

n

"If you're not afraid of death, why are you cultivating?!

"

n

"You…

"

nChang Yue'er was vexed with him.

nWhy is this junior so cowardly!

nHan Jue didn't go because he had a lot of spirit stones.

n

"Hmph, so be it!

"

nChang Yue'er turned around and left.

nHan Jue fell into deep thought.

nIndeed, he couldn't cultivate in the cave abode. He had to go to the spiritual pools.

nIt would be too risky to go after a hundred years when he was closer to death.

nThinking that Han Jue immediately headed towards the inner sect city.

n…

nTen years passed in a flash.

nHan Jue had been wandering around the various Spiritual Pools. He had spent nearly 400 superior-grade spirit stones. His cultivation level had reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment realm and all six types of cultivation potentials had reached the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment realm.

nAt this rate, even if he spent the remaining 400 or so superior-grade spirit stones, he still wouldn't be able to reach the Golden Core realm.

nHan Jue began to concentrate on cultivating the thunder spiritual energy and fire spiritual energy.

nHe couldn't spend all the spirit stones. There would definitely be expenses later on.

nAnother ten years!

nHe might as well finish cultivating his Thunder Cultivation Potential at the spiritual pool and then cultivate his fire spiritual energy in the cave abode.

nThat's it!

nAfter making up his mind, Han Jue headed straight to the Thunder Spiritual Pool.

nNo cultivator could be seen in the Thunder Spiritual Pool. But Han Jue wasn't afraid of loneliness.

n

"Brat, you're here again. I thought you were a genius before. Why are you still only at the third level of the Foundation Establishment realm after so many years?

"

nThe tree spirit couldn't help but tease.

nHan Jue shrugged his shoulders and said,

"It's precisely because I have no talent, that's why I cultivate so diligently.

"

n

"True.

"

nAfter saying that, the Tree Demon closed his eyes.

nHan Jue was a regular visitor, so he didn't need to remind him.

nSoon, Han Jue entered his cultivation state.

nTime quickly passed.

nYear after year passed.

nFive years later.

nHan Jue's Thunder Cultivation Potential had already reached the seventh stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

nMo Fuchou had returned with a female disciple.

nThis female disciple was extremely beautiful, and her mannerisms also had the bearing of a noble lady.

n

"Brother Han, you're also here!

" Mo Fuchou said with surprise.

nHan Jue opened his eyes.

nHe smiled and replied,

"Brother Mo, you're here too.

"

nMo Fuchou was an absolute genius. Through his interpersonal relationships, Han Jue noticed that he had already reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment.

nAlthough nearly twenty years had passed, to be able to break through two levels in the Foundation Establishment realm and head towards the Golden Core realm, what else could one be but a genius?

n

"Let me introduce you. This is my junior at Heavenly Thunder Peak. She's also my younger sister from my clan, Mo Zhu,

" Mo Fuchou said with a smile.

nHan Jue cupped his hands and said,

"I'm Han Jue from Jade Serene Peak.

"

nMo Zhu nodded and carefully sized him up. She asked,

"Why are you still at the third level of the Foundation Establishment realm? My elder brother said that you might already be at the sixth level.

"

nHan Jue smiled and said,

"I want to do it steadily. Hey, let's quickly start our cultivation.

"

nWith that, he sat down.

nAlthough Mo Fuchou was curious about his cultivation level, he didn't ask further.

nThe two of them quickly began to meditate.

nNot long after, they were surprised to discover that Han Jue's absorption speed far exceeded theirs.

n

"What kind of cultivation technique is he cultivating? No, it's his cultivation potential!

"

nMo Fuchou was shocked.

nMo Zhu also looked at Han Jue in surprise.

nHan Jue wasn't bothered by their reaction. He had to hurry.

nEvery minute was spirit stones!

n…

nThree years later.

nMo Fuchou and Mo Zhu prepared to leave.

nMo Fuchou looked at Han Jue. He wanted to say something, but seeing how focused Han Jue was, he didn't want to disturb him.

nThe two left the Thunder Spiritual Pool.

n

"Brother, why didn't Han Jue's cultivation level increase?

" Mo Zhu asked curiously.

nGiven the speed at which Han Jue absorbed spiritual Qi, he should have broken through long ago.

nMo Fuchou had a complicated look in his eyes as he said,

"This person definitely has a method to suppress his cultivation level. I'm afraid his cultivation level has already caught up to mine—ninth stage Foundation Establishment Realm!

"

nMo Zhu widened her beautiful eyes and said,

"You said that twenty years ago, he was only at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm… So fast…

"

nMo Fuchou took a deep breath and said,

"Jade Serene Peak is packed with ascetics. I didn't expect such a genius to appear. Let's go. We have to work as hard as him.

"

nMo Zhu nodded.

nAt the same time.

nHan Jue saw two lines of words:

nMo Fuchou's favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 2 stars.

nMo Zhu's favorability towards you has increased. Current favorability: 2 stars.

nHan Jue was indifferent.

nHe had already reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment Realm and was currently attempting to break through.

nHalf a year later, Han Jue finally cultivated his lightning spiritual energy to perfection. Even if he wanted to cultivate it again, it would be impossible.

nHe stood up and prepared to leave.

n

"Boy, it appears that you possess a method to suppress your cultivation. You're truly remarkable,

" the tree spirit said with a laugh. His tone was no longer laced with mockery.

nHan Jue shrugged and smiled.

nHe walked to the teleportation formation and was about to leave.

n

"I have an opportunity here. Do you want to take it?

" asked the tree spirit.

nHan Jue raised his eyebrows.

"No.

"

nThe tree spirit was stunned.

"You can get large amounts of spirit stones, sect contribution points, and even equipment and treasures. Are you sure you don't want to try?

"

n

"Is it dangerous?

"

n

"If you want a good opportunity, you naturally have to take the risk.

"

n

"Then, forget it. I don't want to die.

"

n

"You…

"

nThe tree spirit trembled in exasperation and disbelief.

nHan Jue urged,

"Please let me out. I still have to return to my cave abode to enter seclusion.

"

nThe tree spirit snorted and activated the formation, sending him out.

nHan Jue received the refund of a year-and-a-half worth of spirit stones in the pavilion. He still had nearly 300 spirit stones in his storage bag.

nHe didn't return to his cave abode immediately but headed for the Salary Building.

nAfter all these years, he hadn't received his salary. He should take it.

nThe Jade Pure Sect would give out salary once a year. They could leave it there and collect it in one go.

nThe Salary Building was one of the most bustling pavilions in the Jade Pure Sect. There were many disciples, and they had to line up to receive their pay.

nHan Jue's temperament attracted the attention of many female cultivators. The male cultivators also quickly noticed him.

nAs Han Jue's cultivation level continued to increase, his unparalleled charisma was also fully displayed.

nThe System could hide his cultivation, but not his charm.

n

"Who's this person? He's so handsome. I never knew we had a man like this in the Jade Pure Sect!

"

n

"I've seen him before. He seems to be a disciple of Jade Serene Peak.

"

n

"Tsk tsk. He looks like he's walked out from a painting.

"

n

"The disciples of Jade Serene Peak all have good looks.

"

n

"Do any of you know his name?

"

nHan Jue pretended not to notice the discussions around him.

nAfter receiving his salary, he quickly fled, causing the female cultivators who wanted to strike up a conversation to feel endless regret.

nJust as he walked out of the building, Han Jue bumped into Mo Zhu.

n

"Brother Han, you're here. How fateful!

" Mo Zhu said in surprise. She quickly went up and held his arm.

nHan Jue's face froze.

n
