Chapter 55: Disciple, Your Opportunity Has Arrived!

For now, let's put aside the gossip about the Second Elder.

After several elders left the Elder's Hall, the Fourth Elder flew straight to the Hundred Beast Peak.

It's good that the precious disciple has been accepted, but teaching is also necessary.

Although the Fourth Elder usually lets his disciples cultivate freely, every three to five or seven days, if Ye Xiyun doesn't come to him, he will take the initiative to check on his disciple's progress.

Fortunately, Ye Xiyun's cultivation speed has always satisfied the Fourth Elder.

At least, his cultivation speed is not inferior to the other three outer disciples in the sect who have High Level Spiritual Root.

However, the Fourth Elder didn't want to think about it. The other outer disciples, at most, would cultivate intermediate-level techniques when they entered.

As for the high-level techniques of Yue Lanxin, they were given by Ye Xiyun, and as for Yun Lingshuang's high-level techniques—ahem, let's not mention them. Anyway, that kid probably hasn't made up his mind to cultivate yet.

And Ye Xiyun? Although his spiritual root is low, he has an excellent physique. His cultivation is slow, but he practices the Pseudo-Saint Grade body technique he gave him, and most importantly, this body refining technique follows a different path— It doesn't require high spiritual roots.

So, Ye Xiyun's fast cultivation speed is normal.

Descending from the sky, Song Zhiming looked at Ye Xiyun, who was still practicing under the waterfall, with a satisfied expression on his face.

"Alright, cultivation also requires a balance between work and rest. Come and take a break." Song Zhiming said to his disciple.

Hearing Song Zhiming's words, Ye Xiyun also walked out from under the waterfall.

Looking at his disciple's strong physique, Song Zhiming said with some satisfaction, "Have you mastered the Kingly Body Refining Technique?"

"Yes, Master!" Ye Xiyun nodded, and with a slight movement of his body, the blood qi rose, causing the water droplets on his body to evaporate.

Seeing that Ye Xiyun had already achieved this level, Song Zhiming nodded and said, "Good!"

"Master, didn't we just meet yesterday? It doesn't seem like the day for questioning yet." Ye Xiyun said.

"Can Master only talk about cultivation when meeting with you?" Song Zhiming's face turned serious, then he chuckled and said like a fool, "Come on, dear disciple, come sit here."

"Master, please don't do this, I'm a bit scared!" Seeing Song Zhiming's expression of being very kind to his disciple, Ye Xiyun inexplicably thought of those muscular men in the gym. Then he inexplicably thought of wrestling with some muscular guys whose sexual orientation was unclear, scenes where they hugged each other and worked out together.

Ye Xiyun suddenly realized a serious problem: are there many gays among these bodybuilding giants?

"Alright, this time, Master came to tell you something." The Fourth Elder said, "Disciple, your opportunity has come!"

"What?" Ye Xiyun blinked in confusion.

"Half a year later, the Cloud Smoke Sect, a Tier 8 Sect, will come to our Tianxuan Sect for an Exchange," the Fourth Elder said. "According to tradition, the Cloud Smoke Sect will definitely send some outstanding disciples to strike hard against our Tianxuan Sect."

"So, Master, do you want me to take action?" Ye Xiyun asked.

"That's right!" The Fourth Elder nodded. "By then, it will be disciple against disciple, inner sect against inner sect, outer sect against outer sect. Since you joined the sect late, you probably won't win against their inner sect disciples, but as an outer sect disciple, half a year from now, you'll confront their outer sect. It'll be like cleaning up little chicks. As long as you perform well and bring glory to our Tianxuan Sect, then I can have the Sect Master announce directly to elevate you to the position of direct disciple. Haha, dear disciple, isn't this a good opportunity for you?"

"As long as I perform well, those outer sect disciples won't have anything to say. Master, rest assured, I will definitely perform well in half a year," Ye Xiyun said.

"Good." The Fourth Elder nodded, patting Ye Xiyun's shoulder. "You're already at the Fifth Meridian's realm now. In half a year, strive to reach the Sixth Meridians. By then, with the resources I'll provide, I’ll help you break through the Gathered Stream Realm, ensuring your success in this competition!"

"Thank you, Master." Ye Xiyun nodded. However, Song Zhiming waved his hand vigorously and said, "Well then, I'll take my leave."

Before the words fell, Song Zhiming flew away from the scene.

Watching Song Zhiming leave, Ye Xiyun felt somewhat lost.

Because... breaking through to the Gathered Stream Realm after gathering Six Meridians... wasn't his goal.

"What's wrong? Your master gave you good news, but you're not happy?" At this moment, Hua Zhongxian flew out from within Ye Xiyun and perched on his shoulder, looking like a tiny thumb-sized elf.

"Sister, do I really only have to gather Six Meridians?" Ye Xiyun asked because, with the progress of the Kingly Body Refining Technique, he was almost reaching the bottleneck of the Sixth Meridians.

And his cultivation speed with his spiritual roots had indeed become slower, not because the absorption of spiritual energy had slowed down, but because as his level increased, he needed more experience points for advancement. However, the increase in experience points per cultivation session had not increased much, similar to how in a game, at level 1, defeating a small monster gives one experience point, but at level 10, leveling up requires 1000 points, yet defeating a small monster still yields only one point.

Slow cultivation speed aside, the most important thing was, how should he cultivate the meridians later? Some people just couldn't find the extraordinary meridians within their bodies and were stuck at the Meridian realm, unable to become a Gathered Stream Realm cultivator.

"Seeing you so disheartened, forget it, I'll just tell you," Hua Zhongxian said.

"According to the cultivation rules of the Mystic Spirit Continent, to gather the meridians, you need to find the meridian gates within your body. Generally, the higher your spiritual root aptitude, the easier it is to find them. For someone with your rubbish spiritual roots, being able to find the Six Meridians is already a blessing of the Immortal Martial Body. It might be easier to find the Seventh Meridian afterward, but as for the Eighth and Ninth Meridians... who knows how many years it will take to find them," Hua Zhongxian said. "But, who made you possess the Immortal Martial Body?"

"Sister, do you have a solution?" Ye Xiyun asked.

"What's the first cultivation method you practiced in the Death Seeking Manual?" Hua Zhongxian asked.

"The Internal Strengthening of the Five Elements!" Ye Xiyun said.

"Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, do they have meridians?" Hua Zhongxian asked.

"This..." Ye Xiyun was startled.

"At the beginning of cultivation, knowing nothing, and not being proficient in controlling spiritual energy, plus the internal organs being important parts of the human body, who would dare to cultivate the meridians of the internal organs? Even if this matter were known to everyone, who would dare to try it?" Hua Zhongxian said with a smirk at the corner of her mouth.

"But in the Death Seeking Manual..." Ye Xiyun said.

"That's right." Hua Zhongxian clapped her hands. "If you hadn't cultivated the Death Seeking Manual, I might have been troubled for a while, trying to come up with some other methods to help you find other meridian gates. But since you've cultivated the Death Seeking Manual! You've directly solidified the meridians of the internal organs. This is your fortune! After the Sixth Meridians, you can continue to cultivate the meridians of the internal organs. However, your spiritual roots are really poor, and your cultivation speed may slow down later. This point, unless you quickly find a girl with High-Grade spiritual roots to practice the Song of the Yin-Yang Grand Dao and improve, otherwise... you can only grind slowly."

"It would be slow, but I can still grind to the Eleventh Meridian, right?" Ye Xiyun slowly revealed a big smile on his small face. "Sister, thank you!"

"Well... you're welcome," Hua Zhongxian said.
