Lin Zhaoting's bone structure and comprehension were not low, so he naturally gained a lot of insights from the Lingjian Peak Lord's sword moves.
But this was not enough.
How could these insights alone allow him to stand out among the inner disciples and win the favor of the Lingjian Peak Lord?
Lin Zhaoting opened his panel and clicked the plus sign next to his cultivation level, Qi Cultivation Stage fifth layer.
“Are you sure you want to consume 1 point to break through to Qi Cultivation Stage sixth layer?”
After Lin Zhaoting confirmed, he clicked the plus sign again.
“Are you sure you want to consume 1 point to break through to Qi Cultivation Stage seventh layer?”
Lin Zhaoting confirmed again.
The two free points he had gained yesterday were all used up by Lin Zhaoting just like that.
However, the effect was quite remarkable.
Breaking through from Qi Cultivation Stage fifth layer to Qi Cultivation Stage seventh layer in one go, the Lingjian Peak Lord naturally noticed Lin Zhaoting's breakthrough immediately.
He stopped his sword demonstration, came before Lin Zhaoting, extended his right index and middle fingers, and checked Lin Zhaoting's cultivation.
“The spiritual energy is solid, accumulating thinly but bursting forth thickly. Breaking through from Qi Cultivation Stage fifth layer to Qi Cultivation Stage seventh layer, not bad.” The Lingjian Peak Lord nodded in appreciation.
Just by watching him demonstrate a sword technique once, to gain such abundant insights—he's a good seedling for sword practice.
“What is your name?” the Lingjian Peak Lord asked.
There were too many inner disciples who joined Lingjian Peak; unless they were the most outstanding, the Lingjian Peak Lord simply couldn't be bothered to remember their names.
The plan succeeded!
Lin Zhaoting yielded to the joy in his heart, a clear expression of delight on his face: “My name is…”
Before Lin Zhaoting could finish speaking, several tribulation clouds entwined with lightning drifted over from the sky not far away.
The Lingjian Peak Lord checked the direction of the thunderclouds, his expression changed, and ignoring the name Lin Zhaoting had not yet had a chance to say, he directly flew over on his sword.
“…Lin Zhaoting.”
When Lin Zhaoting's name was spoken, the Lingjian Peak Lord's figure was already gone from the room.
Originally, a few inner disciples were jealous that Lin Zhaoting had gained the Peak Lord's appreciation on the very first day of officially joining the sect, but now seeing Lin Zhaoting's appearance, a gloating smile involuntarily appeared on their faces.
However, they were inner disciples after all, and Lin Zhaoting had broken through to Qi Cultivation Stage seventh layer in one go today. Although he failed to successfully inform the Peak Lord of his name today, he had clearly surpassed most of them.
So these people only mocked in secret, not openly speaking out.
Lin Zhaoting closed his mouth with his usual expression and continued to practice his sword techniques.
It doesn't matter; at least he has successfully attracted the Lingjian Peak Lord's attention, and the plan is half successful. He needs to seize the time to cultivate and become the first inner disciple to successfully reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.
It's just that he doesn't know what happened to make the Lingjian Peak Lord leave in such a hurry.
The Lingjian Peak Lord quickly flew on his sword to the main sect of Taiyi Sect, to the peak belonging to the Sect Leader.
When he arrived, the Spirit Talisman Peak Lord and the Spirit Beast Peak Lord were already there, and soon the Lingyao Peak Lord and the Lingqi Peak Lord also rushed over.
Seeing the tribulation clouds swirling around the peak belonging to the Taiyi Sect Supreme Sect Leader not far away, the Lingjian Peak Lord quickly asked the Sect Leader: “These tribulation clouds, is it Little Junior Sister about to break through?”
“It should be right!” The Sect Leader's face showed no worry, but rather full of joy.
“Early this morning, Little Junior Sister went to Master's peak to receive Master's guidance. These tribulation clouds are for the Golden Core stage, and Little Junior Sister was previously at the Foundation Establishment Stage mid-stage, so it matches.”
Little Junior Sister directly broke through from Foundation Establishment Stage mid-stage to the Golden Core stage???
All five Peak Lords' faces showed expressions of shock.
Although they knew that Little Junior Sister had a talent rarely seen in ten thousand years, breaking through from Foundation Establishment Stage mid-stage to the Golden Core stage within a single day was still a bit too outrageous!
How could Wen Xiangjie not think of what Lin Zhaoting and the others could think of?
They wanted to attract their respective Peak Lords' attention on the first day of official classes, but Wen Xiangjie would not let them have their way.
With her, a jade in front, how dare they call themselves geniuses?
Early in the morning, Wen Xiangjie was picked up by the personal maid sent by Li Junzhuo and brought to the peak where Li Junzhuo resided.
What Wen Xiangjie learned was naturally not the ordinary stuff like the basic cultivation methods and basic sword techniques that Lin Zhaoting and the others received.
“Jie'er, I know you have already learned the Wen Family's exclusive cultivation method, but the cultivation method I am imparting to you today comes from the secret realm of an ancient mighty figure.” Li Junzhuo handed a jade slip to Wen Xiangjie.
“This cultivation method is a very important auxiliary cultivation method. It can help you better understand the Wen Family's exclusive cultivation method, and at the same time, it automatically improves the shortcomings of the Wen Family's exclusive cultivation method.”
Wen Xiangjie took the jade slip and read the contents on the jade slip with her divine sense.
Li Junzhuo did not exaggerate the effect of this cultivation method. When Wen Xiangjie began to circulate the cultivation method, she could clearly feel the increase in her cultivation within her body.
Such a good opportunity must be seized to break through in one go.
Wen Xiangjie directly opened her panel and clicked the plus sign after her cultivation level.
“Are you sure you want to consume 2 points to break through to Foundation Establishment Stage late-stage?”
Because this auxiliary cultivation method had increased Wen Xiangjie's cultivation by a lot, it now only required 2 points to break through to Foundation Establishment Stage late-stage.
Wen Xiangjie confirmed without hesitation and clicked the plus sign again.
“Are you sure you want to consume 5 points to break through to Foundation Establishment Stage perfect completion?”
After confirming, Wen Xiangjie clicked the plus sign a third time.
“Are you sure you want to consume 10 points to break through to Golden Core stage early-stage? Please note, breaking through to Golden Core stage early-stage requires undergoing tribulation. Please confirm you are prepared for the breakthrough.”
It was still a confirmation.
Wen Xiangjie could clearly feel the rapid increase in her cultivation within her body.
Li Junzhuo, on the other hand, suddenly widened her eyes.
“Jie'er, you, are you going to undergo tribulation?”
No, she hadn't taught anything yet, and Jie'er just practiced a cultivation method herself, and she's directly going to break through from Foundation Establishment Stage mid-stage to Golden Core stage early-stage in one go???
Fortunately, Li Junzhuo's instinctive reaction was quick enough.
She was at the Mahayana Realm late-stage. If she stayed here, the tribulation clouds would mistakenly think she was going to help Wen Xiangjie undergo tribulation, and Wen Xiangjie's tribulation intensity would greatly increase.
She immediately flashed away and arrived at the main sect of Taiyi Sect, on the peak belonging to the Sect Leader.
“Master!”
Seeing Li Junzhuo arrive, the Sect Leader and the others immediately gathered around her.
“Master, is Little Junior Sister breaking through to the Golden Core stage?” the Sect Leader quickly asked.
“Yes.” Li Junzhuo was still a bit slow to react.
“Hiss—” Everyone immediately drew a sharp breath.
Although they had basically confirmed that these Golden Core stage tribulation clouds belonged to Little Junior Sister, hearing Master's confirmation with their own ears still made them feel a bit dazed.
They were all once celebrated prodigies who shook their respective regions, and they were all over a hundred years old when they broke through to the Golden Core stage.
Little Junior Sister is only 15 now, yet she is already about to become a Golden Core True Person?!
