Although White Cloud Great Master’s advice to focus on one of the three to advance to the Transcendent Realm was correct, Ling Xiao had different thoughts. Since Rank Nine Martial Vein was just the Foundation Stage, if he followed White Cloud Great Master’s advice, that would definitely lead to a situation resembling having a crippled leg. After advancing to the Transcendent Realm, there would be many great disadvantages.
Therefore, he planned to balance his soul, internal energy ,and body.
In any case, he had always been doing so with <Soul Burning Formula>, <Snow Lotus True Solution>, and < Heavenly Dragon Golden Body>.
Coordinating with his <Shadow Cultivation Secret Technique>, it was possible to achieve this parallel development.
“Okay, our question-and-answer segment is over. You all should return first and prepare to move to White Cloud Temple. This place is relatively free, as well as being quieter and more suitable for cultivation.”
After all 12 finished asking their questions, White Cloud Great Master waved his hand.
“Teacher, this disciple has a presumptuous request that I hope you will agree to.”
Ling Xiao had not forgotten his initialy thoughts.
“Speak!”
“Those fragments of the Seven Star Flower… Is it possible to grant them to this disciple?”
Ling Xiao asked.
“Ling Xiao, you lunatic! How dare you raise this kind of presumptuous request?”
Fei Yu roared.
He was truly afraid that Ling Xiao would offend White Cloud Great Master, making him expel all the entry disciples.
“No matter, but can you tell this Master what you will do with those fragments?”
White Cloud Great Master waved his hands, signaling for Fei Yu to be silent.
“This disciple is just curious about them.”
Ling Xiao naturally didn’t tell the truth.
“Okay, in any case, it is impossible to resuscitate the broken Seven Star Flower. You can take it if you want.”
White Cloud Great Master eyed Ling Xiao. Honestly speaking, he felt that this youth was somewhat eccentric. He could obviously see through this youth’s talent, but he still had a restless feeling as if he had missed out on something.
Perhaps, he was thinking too much. A youth without any special physique, so what if he had something special?
White Cloud Great Master agreed to Ling Xiao’s request with a wry smile. The broken Seven Star Flower was no different from ordinary broken glass.
Ling Xiao carefully collected those fragments and placed them into his storage ring. He didn’t dare to open the Landscape World here in fear that White Cloud Great Master would notice it.
‘A jade ring can become a crime’: his Landscape Martial Soul was truly marvelous, and he feared that White Cloud Great Master would become greedy.
After the newly recruited ten disciples left, White Cloud Great Master looked at Ming Tian and Zuo Leng who still remained in True Spirit Hall and said: “It has already been over three years since you two came under this Master, and your all-round performance has been very outstanding. Therefore, from today onwards, this Master will impart his secrets to you two. You two must study hard.”
Zuo Leng and Ming Tian looked at each other in glee.
In these past three years, although they had received a lot of guidance from White Cloud Great Master, they hadn’t learned his true secrets.
This transcendent martial artist was very cautious, constantly testing their loyalty and other factors even if they were still his true disciples. Three years was merely a transitional period.
Among those ten people who had become his disciples today, other than Ling Yixue, no one else was worth mentioning in front of these two youths.
However, Ling Yixue was quite special. He, in fact, had no intention of imparting his secrets to her. He actually had another purpose in making her stay beside him.
……
After leaving the True Spirit Hall, Fei Yu directly stopped Ling Xiao.
“Ling Xiao, you are truly a lunatic. We only became White Cloud Great Master’s disciples with great difficulty! How dare you ask him for anything? Can it be that you want to get everyone expelled?”
At this moment, Ling Xiao’s entire thoughts were focused on his Landscape World. His soul had already entered the Landscape World and was studying how to repair that Seven Star Flower.
According to his analysis, it could be repaired via his creation ability, but it required some extra materials.
“An excellent grade treasured artifact, one hundred Gang Qi Pills, a thousand-year-old snow lotus, and ten natural crystals.”
This was the list provided by the Landscape Martial Soul.
He currently had the Gang Qi Pills and the thousand-year-old snow lotus, but he lacked an excellent grade treasured artifact and the natural crystals.
His Ice Glaze Sword was just a common grade treasured artifact, so it wouldn’t do.
As for the natural crystals, they were not very expensive: one cost just one thousand taels of gold, so ten would be just ten thousand taels of gold coins.
He could afford to buy it.
The problem was that natural crystals, especially those of a higher grade, were something that could only be discovered, not sought. “Ling Xiao, I’m asking you something!”
Upon seeing Ling Xiao not answering for a while, Fei Yu became somewhat irritated.
Ling Xiao returned to his senses and said: “If we were expelled because of something small like that, White Cloud Great Master would be just so-so. Can it be that you think that the Great Master is that kind of person?”
“You! You are twisting words and forcing logic!”
Fei Yu roared.
“I’m twisting words and forcing logic? Was my request excessive? It, however, was just some fragments. Do you dare to take an oath that you will never raise any request to Teacher in the future?”
Ling Xiao asked indifferently.
“You…!”
Fei Yu naturally didn’t dare to take such an oath. Since he had become one of White Cloud Great Master’s disciples, he naturally wanted to gain some benefits.
If he couldn’t make any requests, what was the meaning of his efforts?
Today, he had intentionally targeted Ling Xiao using this as a pretext to make a fuss.
“You, what you? If you don’t have anything to say, get out of the way. I still have stuff to do.”
Now, Ling Xiao didn’t fear Fei Yu.
Although Fei Yu was a Peak Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master who he certainly couldn’t defeat, if the other party wanted to injure him, that too was impossible.
“Humph, you truly don’t know what fear is. You just have a trifling four-and-half-star potential. It’s inferior to Die Wu and Zhu Hua. There’s no need to mention Senior Apprentice Brother Zuo Leng and Senior Apprentice Brother Ming Tian.”
Fei Yu snorted.
“That’s right! Among you all, Ling Yixue is not too bad, but her control over her potential is too lacking.”
Fei Liu stood up and announced: “Do you all know that when Senior Apprentice Brother Zuo Leng and Senior Apprentice Brother Ming Tian tested themselves, their potentials reached a complete seven stars. Moreover, the Seven Star Flower was also not broken. Their potential is not inferior to Ling Yixue’s, and their control far exceeds hers.”
“I have heard that if you have potential but cannot control it, you can’t utilize it, which means that it doesn’t have any meaning.”
Fei Yu sneered at Ling Xiao: “Don’t think you can do anything just because your cultivation speed is faster. Without potential, you will never advance to the Transcendent Sage realm in your lifetime. Therefore, learn to behave in front of us hereafter.”
“Is that so? I truly want to see who will step into the Transcendent Sage Realm first.”
Fei Liu and Fei Yu shocked the other geniuses, but Ling Xiao was different. Although he was somewhat surprised, he didn’t feel despair. Instead, his fighting spirit was greatly stimulated.
“Talking big!”
Fei Yu said with disdain.
Ling Xiao, however, said nothing, continuing to exit White Cloud Temple.
After walking outside, they found many people standing outside, including Hidden Dragon Battalion’s Yin Ran and Hua Nongying as well as Hidden Ren Academy’s Li Xinghui, Shi Yulian, and the others who had been previously eliminated.
In addition, Lin Ze, Wan Ben, White Cloud Temple Master Yiran Zhenren, General Ninth Month, and the others were also present.
Ling Xiao even saw his former enemies: Shi Long and Li Yunsheng.
Now, they were following Wan Ben to do things for Ren Race. “Ling Xiao, I want to challenge you!”
Suddenly, Li Xinghui emerged from the crowd.
