Chapter 1202 1202: Living Flesh!
"We... were wrong."Tang Wuying and Tang Wuxie bowed their heads, blushing.
There was no other way.
If it were an ordinary breakthrough, they would just assume that Ning Tingxue had reached a breakthrough threshold, met certain conditions, and suddenly broke through. It would be normal, and the credit need not be attributed to Yiyi.
However, the breakthrough that Ning Tingxue achieved was to the Spirit King!
A breakthrough between the Grandmaster Grades and a breakthrough in a major Realm are two entirely different concepts, with the latter being much more difficult.
For instance, for a Grade One Grandmaster to break through to Grade Two, perhaps only about twenty out of a hundred people might succeed.
But for breaking through to become a Spirit King, there might not be even one in a hundred!
This is the gap between a Spirit King and a Grandmaster!
This breakthrough isn't something that can be achieved with a sudden insight.
It's extremely difficult!
Even though she possesses immortal power, if viewed through the lens of conventional cultivation, it would take at least several years to become a Spirit King, and if her talent were insufficient, it might take decades.
Yet, Yiyi guided her for just the time it takes for one incense stick to burn, and she broke through.
How could they doubt her?
"Now you know you were wrong!"
Heavenly River Taoist stood by with hands behind his back, pursing his lips, and said, "I told you before, she's the Master, a formidable person. Now you're blushing, aren't you?"
"..."
Tang Wuying and Tang Wuxie exchanged looks, like schoolchildren who had made a mistake, bowing their heads in silence.
They also wanted to break through.
As the most talented brothers of the younger generation in the Tang Sect, they also aspired to be like those unparalleled geniuses, to enter the Ninth Grade Grandmaster Realm early and become top experts.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Since that's the case, you should also demonstrate your cultivation techniques!"
Yiyi didn't hold their previous attitude against them and smiled at them.
This made them feel even more ashamed.
Mighty men, yet lesser than a girl...
Soon enough.
The two displayed their skills and their proud cultivation techniques in front of Yiyi.
After thinking for a moment, Yiyi said, "Your talents are sufficient, but unlike Sister Tingxue, who had immortal power assistance, you will need to give me some time if you want to break through within a month, at least more than two weeks."
"Really? That's great!!"
The two were beyond excited.
They knew Ning Tingxue had immortal power and didn't expect to immediately break through like her but hoped to have the method to break through, even if it took a year or two or even longer!
They hadn't expected she said just two weeks!
"And you?"
Yiyi turned to look at Jian Shisi and Jian Ba.
The two looked even more embarrassed at that moment.
Especially Jian Shisi, whose disdain for Yiyi had been the most apparent from the start.
Now Yiyi was asking them instead.
"We..."
Jian Shisi's face was burning, and he finally bit down and said, "We also want to break through..."
Seeing the Tang Sect's two breaking through to the Ninth Grade Grandmaster in two weeks.
How could they not be tempted?
"About what happened before, we are truly sorry..."
Jian Shisi apologized again, blushing.
"No matter, just demonstrate,"
Yiyi said.
The two also showcased their cultivation techniques one after another, and after a little thought, Yiyi also expressed that they could likely break through in about two weeks.
This made the two of them ecstatic as well.
They felt this trip had not been in vain.
With that settled.
Yiyi and Heavenly River Taoist took them to Li Qianqian's Artifact Refining Room to craft or upgrade their Divine Weapons.
Originally, they were also very skeptical of Li Qianqian.
After all, Li Qianqian's cultivation wasn't high, just a girl of seventeen or eighteen.
The result was.
When one Heavenly Rank Divine Weapon after another was taken out of her Qiankun Bag, they no longer dared to underestimate her...
After leaving Li Qianqian's place, they were taken to Su Ruolan's Alchemy Room.
The Alchemy Room at Five Rings Mountain was divided into two areas.
One was managed by Guo Huaiqiu, focused on the Elixir Alchemy Room.
The other was Su Ruolan, tasked with studying the Hongjun Treasure Furnace and the Immortal Elixir Manual. Although it hadn't been long, she had developed some special elixirs available for them to use...
By the end of the day.
Tang Wuying, Tang Wuxie, Jian Shisi, and Jian Ba had completely changed their attitudes and views towards Five Rings Mountain.
To them, it was like a treasure trove.
It had everything they needed.
Jian Shisi, while eating in the dining hall, murmured in awe, "Amazing! I can't believe that at such a young age, they have such deep knowledge in cultivation techniques, artifact refining, and alchemy. It's extraordinary. If only our Shu Mountain Sect had someone like them!"
"It's strange, even that Heavenly River Taoist calls them 'Master', yet they don't seem bothered. Could it be they genuinely like Lord Qin?" Jian Ba asked doubtfully, "But Lord Qin doesn't seem to have a very high cultivation level! What skill did he rely on to have subdued such talents?"
"Maybe it's his charisma! He can organize the Heavenly King Palace and naturally attract them."
"Don't you all feel that it's because of them that Lord Qin managed to form the Heavenly King Palace? Otherwise, how could so many people have willingly joined? It must have been because of their cultivation techniques, artifact refining, and alchemy skills."
"You mean... Lord Qin is actually a young man living off women??"
"What do you think? Your Tang Sect's joining the Heavenly King Palace should make you more aware than us!" Jian Shisi sneered, "Wasn't it because he won over Mei Niang's daughter that Mei Niang gave your Tang Sect token to him? What is he if not a young man living off women?"
"Come on, I heard Lord Qin is very powerful."
"Tsk, even if he's powerful, with just a First-grade Grandmaster cultivation, how strong could he be? I just don't believe it."
"Whether he's just a young man living off women or not, we'll know in a month."
...
Deep in the night.
The bamboo forest was tranquil and secluded.
Sitting cross-legged, Qin Feng had been cultivating all day.
The Divine Beast Qilin also begged for mercy all day until it was too tired and slowly fell asleep.
However.
As it slept, it suddenly felt a world-altering sensation, with its body enveloped in warmth!
"It's over!"
Startled, the Divine Beast Qilin awoke with a jolt.
Sure enough!
It felt that all its power was completely under Qin Feng's control.
This made it suffer greatly; the hope of an ambush was gone!
"You bastard, I'm going to fight you to the death..." It cursed Qin Feng in extreme grief.
Unexpectedly.
At that moment, Qin Feng suddenly opened his eyes, completely stunned.
Moonlight.
Bamboo shadows.
The gently flowing stream.
And the sound of crickets in the grass.
It sensed everything with utter clarity, as though... it could touch them for real...
This is... the feeling of being alive!!
For a moment.
A surge of warmth overflowed, and it had an urge to cry.
"It's been ten thousand years, I can finally feel truly alive once more..."
Before this.
Its consciousness was parasitic in the Floating Light Stone, residing in Qin Feng's left arm.
But.
It was blurry.
Like a ghost.
Previously, when its left hand would try to reach their chest, there was no sensation at all, and whatever benefits were reaped belonged to Qin Feng.
Because it only lived in spirit.
Now.
It truly felt the living flesh and blood!
