“I’ve long heard of Senior Brother Shen’s exploits; many fellow brothers and sisters are no match for him.
I would like your guidance, Senior Brother Shen.”
Sun Furong said politely. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
“You flatter me, Junior Sister Sun, to speak of guidance.
Let’s just say it’s an exchange of ideas!”
Shen Long replied modestly.
“Let’s eat and talk!
The food won’t taste as good once it’s cold.
The vegetables are grown by us and the fish are raised by us.”
Sun Sen said enthusiastically.
While Sun Furong served the rice, the three of them talked as they ate.
Sun Furong had recently brought two first-rank Law Spells to Great Perfection, namely the Entwining Technique and the Earthen Wall Technique.
Lately, she had been practicing the Fireball Technique and was humbly seeking advice from Shen Long.
Shen Long gave patient advice, and he could see that Sun Furong actually did not need his guidance; she only needed more practice to bring her Fireball Technique to Great Perfection.
One only had to think about it to realize that since Sun Sen could teach new disciples, his foundational knowledge must be very solid, and if all else fails, there are predecessors’ experiences with various Law Spells in the Scripture Pavilion, and there is the exchange of cultivation experiences at Martial Training Peak.
After dinner and a leisurely chat over tea, Shen Long took his leave and departed.
“Rong’er, do you know why I asked Junior Brother Shen to give you some pointers?”
Sun Sen asked.
“Daughter understands; father hopes that I’ll befriend Senior Brother Shen.
Having more friends never hurts.”
Sun Furong responded.
Sun Sen nodded with satisfaction and said, “Good that you understand.
Junior Brother Gu, Junior Sister Tang, and other new disciples from cultivating families don’t need our help and look down on us.
Once you reach the seventh level of Qi Refinement, your mother and I will apply to take up duties at the sect’s branch to accumulate Kind Attribute credits.
You should stay at the main hall to cultivate diligently, and we hope you can reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
Only when running a household does one feel the costliness of fuel and rice; only when raising children does one understand a parent’s kindness.
Spirt Control Sect has many branches, such as Spirit Mines, Spirit Medicine Gardens, Spirit Beast Gardens, and so on, requiring the help of disciples.
Many Sect-Born Disciples, to reduce the burden on their descendants, opt to transfer to these branches or the sect’s shops to accumulate more Kind Attribute credits, helping their descendants to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills.
As Sun Sen has only a daughter, Sun Furong, the pressure on him is slightly less; Lin Cheng, with four sons, feels a particularly heavy burden.
“Your daughter will work hard.
Speaking of which, with Senior Brother Shen’s strength, breaking into the top fifty shouldn’t be difficult.
Many Qi Refining Cultivators at the ninth level have been dispatched to take up duties.
It’s just not certain what rank he could achieve.”
Sun Furong analyzed.
Sun Sen nodded and said, “I see it the same way.
You too must work hard.
Alright, go and cultivate.
I’ll take care of the dishes.”
Returning to his residence, Shen Long walked down into the basement, sat cross-legged on the stone bed, and took out the Jade Slip Sun Sen had given him, pressing it to his forehead.
After a while, Shen Long removed the Jade Slip, a contemplative expression on his face.
The lowest ranking to enter the top fifty in the competition also had at least the seventh level of Qi Refinement.
Cultivation level doesn’t necessarily equate to ranking height; if one’s Spirit Beast is strong, it can also secure a high standing.
Shen Long put away the Jade Slip and began cultivating.
A night passed quickly, and early the next day, before dawn, Shen Long left his house, heading towards the mountain.
He hadn’t walked far when the voice of Ye Yuqing came from behind: “Junior Brother Shen, good morning!”
Shen Long stopped, turned around, and saw Ye Yuqing and Ye Yutang walking toward him.
“Good morning!
Senior Sister Ye, Master Uncle Xu is holding a lecture at Debate Peak today.
I’m planning to go and listen.
Would you like to join me?”
Shen Long said.
“Junior Brother Qian told us earlier.
We’ll head there after breakfast.”
Ye Yutang replied.
They reached the Spiritual Meal Pavilion, where only a few disciples were dining in the main hall.
After they had breakfast, they left the Spiritual Meal Pavilion.
Ye Yutang released the Lihuo Falcon, climbed onto its back, and Ye Yuqing and Shen Long followed suit.
“Let’s go!”
With a light tap from Ye Yutang’s right hand on the back of the Lihuo Falcon, it gently fanned its wings, stirring up a gust of hot wind as it soared into the sky.
Along the way, they encountered many Qi Refining Cultivators, most of whom were riding Spirit Birds for transport.
Shen Long saw Gu Tianhong standing on the back of a Gold-Winged Thunder Lion.
About half an hour later, they appeared above a verdant mountain peak tens of thousands of feet high, with a vast Azure Stone Plaza at its peak.
In the center of the Azure Stone Plaza was a circular stage more than ten feet tall surrounded by over a thousand disciples of the Spirit Control Sect.
Most were Qi Refining Cultivators, but there were also a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with a large number of disciples from the sect converging from all directions.
Master Uncle Xu was famously obsessed with bugs within the Spirit Control Sect.
Many disciples encountered problems when cultivating their Spirit Insects, and they listened to Master Uncle Xu’s teachings in the hopes of finding solutions to their perplexities.
Shen Long was somewhat surprised; so many people had come, he had underestimated Xu Feng’s influence.
The Lihuo Falcon descended onto the Azure Stone Plaza, and Shen Long and his two companions alighted, with Ye Yutang putting away the Lihuo Falcon.
“Senior Sister Ye, Senior Brother Shen, I’m over here!”
A familiar male voice called out.
Shen Long looked in the direction of the voice and saw Qian Dafu.
Shen Long quickly walked over, took out a blue meditation cushion, placed it on the ground, and sat down on it.
“Junior Brother Qian, you’re quite early!”
Shen Long said in surprise.
“It’s rare to catch Master Uncle Xu’s teachings, so naturally, I came a bit early.
Junior Sister Ning arrived earlier than me,”
Qian Dafu pointed in a certain direction as he spoke.
Following the direction that Qian Dafu pointed, Shen Long saw Ning Qianqian.
Gu Tianhong was chatting with Ning Qianqian.
The distance was a bit far, and combined with other cultivators talking, Shen Long couldn’t hear the content of their conversation.
As far as he knew, Gu Tianhong was fervently pursuing Ning Qianqian.
Ning Qianqian seldom paid him any heed; Gu Tianhong often “coincidentally” ran into her and even went as far as to purchase a Gold-Winged Thunder Lion, sticking to Ning Qianqian like a plaster, persistently indifferent.
“Junior Brother Gu is quite infatuated!”
A rough male voice sounded.
Shen Long turned his head and saw Qin Bao.
“Senior Brother Qin, long time no see.”
Shen Long greeted him.
Qin Bao nodded, saying, “Junior Brother Shen, you should be participating in the minor competition, right?
I hope you can make it into the top fifty!”
“Thank you for your auspicious words, Senior Brother Qin.”
Shen Long smiled slightly.
Shen Long and Qin Bao struck up a casual conversation.
Having been in the sect for over two years, he had little contact with disciples like Gu Tianhong and Tang Yuting, who came from cultivator families – he had exchanged fewer than ten sentences with them.
He had more to talk about with Qin Bao; they both came from a background of being Loose Cultivators, which made it easier to relate to one another.
A short while later, someone shouted, “Master Uncle Xu is here!”
All the cultivators ceased their chatter, looking around, trying to spot Xu Feng.
A golden light appeared in the distant sky, halted above Debate Peak, and the Escape Light receded, revealing a golden Centipede over ten feet long, with four pairs of thin silver wings on its back, a row of scythe-like golden claws underneath, and unusually long antennae.
Its foreparts were armed with a pair of sharp mandibles, and the Centipede’s body displayed flame-like patterns that seemed naturally formed.
“A second-order Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede!”
Qian Dafu recognized this Strange Bug, his face filled with envy.
The Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede ranked 735 on the Heaven and Earth Exotic Insect List and was adept at both thunder and fire spells.
A handsome man in a yellow robe sat upon the head of the Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede, with his waist adorned with several spirit beast bags.
The Eight-Winged Thunderfire Centipede flew down and landed on the circular stage, as the man in the yellow robe stepped down.
Shen Long and other Qi Refining disciples stood up, bowed deeply, and said in unison, “Greetings, Master Uncle Xu.”
Xu Feng nodded, tapped his golden spirit beast bag with his right hand, and a Sound Cicada flew out, settling before him – a second-order Sound Cicada.
Shen Long had often heard other sect members mention Xu Feng.
Xu Feng’s ancestors for eighteen generations had been disciples of the Spirit Control Sect, with several becoming Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
He was the only child for three generations, with his grandparents and parents all being Foundation Establishment Cultivators, currently all alive.
In terms of family wealth, Ning Qianqian was far from Xu Feng’s equal.
Under the influence of his elders, Xu Feng had shown a deep interest in Spirit Insects from a young age, inheriting many Spirit Insects from his grandparents and parents.
He had more than ten second-order Spirit Insects in his possession.
Unlike most Spirit Control Sect disciples, Xu Feng chose a Spirit Insect as his Life-Bound Spirit Insect.
