The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 818 - 265: Oh, So the Person Your Sister Wants to Save Is You!

After sending off his master and third senior brother, Zhou Qing gazed at the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree that had returned to its normal state, feeling excited.

Once his cultivation advances sufficiently, he could embellish it, allowing his master and senior brothers to experience its wonder.

Perhaps when it grows larger, it might directly assist them in Spirit Slash.

However, now is not the best time. After all, top-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stones are really scarce, and if word gets out, it might bring disaster upon the entire Taiqing Sect.

Indeed, just a Transforming Divine Medicine can provoke frenzied plunder by Spirit Severing Realm experts, not to mention how much more precious this Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree is.

Who knows where the true Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree is located?

And who was it that chopped off this old piece of wood?

This world is so vast, sparking both curiosity and a sense of powerlessness.

Not to mention the little Taiqing Sect, even a fourth-level cultivation sect is but a drop in the ocean.

He then let out a long breath, as he already has a rough plan for his cultivation.

Ten top-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stones could allow either comprehension of a strand of Phoenix Dao Pattern within a month or an addition of 2,000 Array Spirit Seals.

Of course, this is in an ideal state, for both Inscription Level Divine Techniques and Array Replication become ever more challenging later on.

Every step forward requires exponentially greater effort and resources.

"Still need to make money!"

Zhou Qing murmured to himself, looking at the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.

Wonder if Shen Yunzhou has returned?

...

The next morning, Zhou Qing dressed in a simple robe, leisurely squatted in the courtyard, beside him an ancient wooden basin, focusing on giving an old hen a bath.

Last night, while it cuddled beside him asleep, he faintly detected a subtle odor.

Unbearable, he decided to give it a thorough clean this morning.

The old hen was evidently quite resistant to this sudden "bath."

As soon as it touched water, it flapped its wings wildly, causing water to splash and soak Zhou Qing's face.

Zhou Qing wasn't annoyed, just helplessly smiled and softly soothed it.

At this moment, two notification tones sounded in his ear.

[Heart Mirror Points +9]

[Heart Mirror Points +9]

Not long after, two figures swiftly approached from afar, it was Li Daoxuan and Lu Yaoyao.

Li Daoxuan's head was topped with [A real man should be like this], which unbeknownst to him changed quietly to [Array Master-level Scoundrel].

This left Zhou Qing quite speechless.

Really, can't let go of being a scoundrel, can you?

If he knew this earlier, he wouldn't have shown mercy during the sparring, out of fellow sect ties.

Meanwhile, atop Lu Yaoyao's head the [Very Alert] reverted back to the words [Very Impressive].

These two, as Core Disciples, must have been informed by the Senior Uncle after all.

"Junior Brother Zhou!"

"Senior Brother Zhou!"

Upon seeing Zhou Qing, both smiling broadly, quickened their pace towards him.

Li Daoxuan at that moment was filled with envy.

In the past, during studies at the White Jade Taixu Courtyard, Lin Daochen being a third-level Array Master enjoyed such esteemed treatment at the academy.

Upon breakthrough day, countless came to congratulate him, even the County Governor showed up personally, showcasing his influence.

Yet now, who could have expected, within their small Taiqing Sect, emerged the fourth third-level Array Master of the Holy Martial Dynasty, silently?

As the saying goes, once a person ascends, their entire entourage prospers; should this news spread, Taiqing Sect would gain immense fame, leaping forward as the undisputed ruler of the Eastern Domain.

By then, sects from the Eight Prefectures and Seventy-Two Mansions would certainly come to congratulate, flatter, and curry favor.

Thoughts swirling, Li Daoxuan couldn't help but exclaim emotionally, "You're truly impressive! I don't dare dream of such achievements."

Lu Yaoyao nodded along earnestly, eyes filled with admiration.

She knew about Master Xuanqing's legacy, having personally guided Zhou Qing to it.

Yet she hadn't expected such rapid advancement.

Her father, who led her fleeing for life, was already a fifth-level Array Master.

If the damned Suanni hadn't depleted Master Xuanqing's residual spirit, given her father's talent, he might have broken through early, becoming a ninth-level Array Master.

Even when facing the furious pursuit from Demon Emperors, they wouldn't have ended so wretchedly.

"Senior Brother Zhou, well done!" Lu Yaoyao sincerely praised.

Zhou Qing waved a humble hand replying, "Just sheer luck, no need to make such a fuss."

Though saying so, Zhou Qing knew internally, this time he managed to accumulate 2,000 Spirit Seals in one go, successfully breaking through to become a third-level Array Master, wasn't merely due to the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree.

Aside from inheriting Master Xuanqing's legacy, there's also the invaluable array insights from Wu Tiangang and Su Lishan, "robbed" by Second Uncle.

Plus, the lodgers in the Peng Emperor's Cave Mansion, from the Cultivation Country of fifth-level, Master Situ Jiuyao's notes also greatly benefited him.

With the aid of these treasured experiences, he's able to forge ahead and condense such numerous Spirit Seals.

"I should also congratulate you for breaking through to Nascent Soul Late Stage!" Zhou Qing turned to Lu Yaoyao, sincerely congratulating.

Among Divine Peak disciples, He Han is merely at Nascent Soul Late Stage, the others still stuck at Nascent Soul Mid-stage.

Lu Yaoyao, despite entering the sect latest, has now succeeded in catching up and even surpassing them, indeed raising eyebrows.
