The woman was also cultivating within this mountain range. With her cultivation, everything within several dozen kilometers was within her perception. The moment Lin Feng killed the beast, he had already caught her attention—but she had only taken a brief glance.
A youth at the Postnatal Realm wasn’t worth much of her attention.
But when she sensed Lin Feng breaking through from 7th stage Postnatal to the Innate Realm in just a day or two, she could no longer stay calm.
What kind of concept was this?
This was a journey that someone with white-level talent couldn’t complete in a lifetime. Even disciples with blue-level talent in major sects—their backbone—needed ten years to reach this stage.
And even a prodigy like herself, with purple-level talent and rapid progress, would need at least a year or two to reach the Innate Realm.
But this youth broke through as easily as eating or drinking.
How could she remain unmoved?
She, who had never once considered accepting a disciple, was finally tempted.
Without another word, she stepped into the air, covering ten meters with each stride, and quickly arrived beside Lin Feng.
Lin Feng, who had just broken through to the Innate Realm, was about to follow Elder Jian’s instructions to seek out an Innate-level beast to stabilize his cultivation when he suddenly noticed a woman standing before him.
She was dressed in white, like snow, and stunningly beautiful.
But Lin Feng’s eyes were filled with wariness, as the woman was staring at him with a gaze that burned intensely.
“May I ask who you are?” Lin Feng asked cautiously.
“Little one, let me introduce myself. I am Su Wenjiu of Morning Glow Valley, a Holy Land in the Eastern Region. I came only to ask—would you be willing to become my disciple?”
Floating in the air, her white robes fluttering, Su Wenjiu looked down at Lin Feng from above as she spoke.
“Become your disciple?” Lin Feng was stunned for a moment. Then, realizing what she meant, he immediately declined, “Sorry, Senior. I already have a master.”
“You already have a master?” Su Wenjiu frowned. A genius of this level already had a master?
“May I ask, who is your master?” she pressed on.
“My master and I live just a hundred kilometers from here, in the Azure Jade Sect,” Lin Feng answered directly.
“Azure Jade Sect?” Su Wenjiu looked surprised.
She had assumed Lin Feng’s master must be some grand figure, but he was actually from the Azure Jade Sect?
From what she knew, Azure Jade Sect was at most a second-rate force in the Eastern Region. Even if the Sect Master personally took a disciple, it wouldn’t be enough to catch her eye. How could such a sect have such a heaven-defying disciple?
Only someone from a Holy Land like her deserved such a prodigy. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
“Little one, Azure Jade Sect is just a second-rate sect in the Eastern Region. With your talent, you deserve a better future, not to be stuck in a small sect,” Su Wenjiu said directly, extending an olive branch. “Morning Glow Valley is one of the Holy Lands. If you agree, I’ll take you there right now.”
“Sorry, I’m not interested,” Lin Feng declined again, bluntly.
Su Wenjiu was irritated by how unmoved the youth remained. “Do you not understand what a Holy Land represents?”
“I do.” Elder Jian had explained all this to him long ago.
“Then why do you still refuse…?” Su Wenjiu frowned, unwilling to give up. “As long as you become my disciple, you’ll have access to endless cultivation resources, advanced techniques, weapons, and magical treasures—anything you want.”
Perhaps she felt words weren’t enough to convince Lin Feng, so she suddenly drew a crimson longsword from her sleeve.
With a wave of her hand, the sword released blazing sword qi, firelight dancing through the air, brilliant and dazzling. With a single slash, she sliced away half of a cliffside in the distance.
The power was terrifying!
She sheathed the sword, gently stroked its blade, and said with a faint smile, “This is Fire Dance, a Grade-8 divine weapon. It was forged by the top smith in my Morning Glow Valley—one of their finest works.”
“As long as you agree, Fire Dance will be yours.”
She looked back at Lin Feng, fully expecting him to be stunned by Fire Dance.
After all, a Grade-8 weapon was no ordinary treasure, and while Lin Feng’s talent was exceptional, he was still young. How broad could his horizons be?
Yet—
Lin Feng remained expressionless. He didn’t even glance at the Fire Dance in her hand.
“Senior, as I said, I already have a master. Please stop asking. I will not accept,” Lin Feng refused seriously.
What was a small Holy Land in the Eastern Region compared to what Zhong Qing had given him?
Even if someone could offer something better than what Zhong Qing provided, Lin Feng still wouldn’t accept.
His master—he only recognized Zhong Qing!
Inside the desolate ring, Elder Jian almost laughed out loud in anger.
A mere Grade-8 sword, and you dare come flaunting it? Visit g.com for the full chapter.
In the eyes of that man on Command Hall Peak, a Grade-8 weapon wasn’t even worthy to use as firewood.
Frankly, even a sliver from Zhong Qing’s fingernail was worth more than what your so-called Holy Land could offer.
Watching Lin Feng turn and leave, Su Wenjiu stood frozen with Fire Dance in her hand.
Fury surged in her chest.
She had just been dismissed by a boy!
Still, considering Lin Feng’s talent, she calmed her raging emotions.
“Perhaps this boy is just inexperienced and doesn’t understand the difference between a Holy Land and a second-rate sect.”
“Besides, he seems to value loyalty and respect toward his master.”
“Well… that’s not a bad quality. At least he has good character.”
“If I can’t win the boy over, I’ll just win over his master.”
In Su Wenjiu’s mind, Azure Jade Sect was just a second-rate sect. Even if Lin Feng was the Sect Master’s core disciple, it meant nothing.
She’d pay a visit, explain the situation with sincerity, offer some benefits that would seem enormous to them—taking the disciple shouldn’t be difficult.
As long as Lin Feng’s master truly cared about his future, he’d know that becoming her disciple was the best path forward.
With this in mind, she put aside her anger and followed Lin Feng from a distance.
After leaving, Lin Feng fought several Innate-level beasts deep in the mountains.
After a series of battles, his newly achieved cultivation was completely stabilized, and he gained valuable combat experience.
Seeing the trip had gone perfectly, Lin Feng didn’t linger and headed back toward Command Hall Peak.
A hundred kilometers wasn’t far for the current Lin Feng.
Before long, he had returned to the peak.
Above the skies outside Command Hall Peak, Su Wenjiu stood mid-air, overlooking the entire mountain.
“So, this is where that boy’s master resides?”
With a single step forward, she vanished.
The next moment, she appeared atop Command Hall Peak.
