Ji Lan was still sitting on the sofa, watching Fang Yi's retreating back.
He stared for a full half minute, lost in thought, before suddenly turning to look at Ji Yaoyao. The siblings' gazes collided in midair.
The next moment,
they spoke in unison:
"Brother Fang is definitely extraordinary!"
They froze, then spoke at the same time again:
"You think so too?"
"???"
Ji Yaoyao's eyes widened as she looked at Ji Lan. "You go first. Why do you think Brother Fang is so exceptional?"
"Cough, cough."
Ji Lan organized his thoughts, then said thoughtfully, "Brother Fang's guidance seemed like just one sentence, but it went straight to the heart of the problem. We're all cultivating according to Cultivation Methods, yet he's already begun modifying them himself!"
"This... is too outrageous."
"That one short sentence surpassed every teacher I've ever met."
"Exactly."
Ji Yaoyao nodded. The siblings' current poverty was partly because, in his early years of cultivation, Ji Lan had sought guidance from various powerful Pioneers. Some Pioneers only cared about fate, while others only cared about "money"!
As a result, Ji Lan had spent quite a bit of money visiting Pioneers. Combined with the teachers he had met at school, he could be said to have encountered quite a few powerful figures.
But none of those powerful figures compared to Fang Yi!
Their thinking was still limited to how to cultivate as effectively as possible within the rules.
But Fang Yi no longer followed convention. He directly broke through established cultivation methods!
This was innovative thinking, and it was truly far too difficult.
"Perhaps... only those powerful figures capable of founding schools and sects can achieve true innovation!" Ji Lan swallowed and said hesitantly, "Of course, that doesn't mean Brother Fang can be placed on the same level
