How Could a Monstrous Talent Be Ordinary?

His words made the tense crowd freeze, and only then did they belatedly realize that their little junior brother still did not understand the severity of the matter.

Seventh Junior Brother's cultivation method clearly had a problem. It was not the true "Taiji Mystic Purity Dao"! But the point Luo Yunji was focused on made everyone, Tian Buyi included, feel as if they had suffered "internal injuries."

Never use a normal person's thinking to consider the workings of this "monstrous talent's" brain.

Damn it! Someone was about to die here, all right! And he only remembered food!

"Seventh Junior Brother! Hurry up and explain!" Fourth Brother He Dazhi kept shooting Zhang Xiaofan looks, signaling for him to explain quickly. No matter what he said, anything was fine; he just had to buy some time, enough for He Dazhi to think of a way.

Zhang Xiaofan seemed to have also seen that Tian Buyi was this furious because of his cultivation method, but this cultivation method had been taught to him by his little junior brother.

He absolutely could not let Master know. Otherwise, his little junior brother would definitely be punished along with him!

It was enough for him alone to be punished! Thinking this, Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head and knelt on the ground without making a sound.

"Bastard! You're going to cling to silence even unto death, are you!" Tian Buyi waited for a while, and seeing that Zhang Xiaofan showed no sign of explaining at all, he was so angry he was about to rise and strike him again. Su Ru and Song Daren, who stood beside him, stopped him.

"Why are you getting so furious!" Su Ru also felt somewhat overwhelmed. A cultivation method was the root of a sect, and this seventh disciple's method clearly had a problem, yet he would not explain its origins. If this went badly, someone really could die. If things took one wrong turn, it could even implicate the sect, and when that time came, one Big Bamboo Peak would be far from enough to shoulder it.

"Little Ji! You're with Xiaofan every day. You tell Mother, where did Xiaofan's cultivation method come from?" Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan refused to speak even at the risk of death, Su Ru looked toward Luo Yunji, who was being held by Sixth Brother at the side.

"Cultivation method? What cultivation method?" Luo Yunji was asked so suddenly that he was somewhat at a loss. He looked at his master's wife and asked back curiously.

"With that muddled head of his! Even an idiot could abduct him and sell him off! And you still want to get something out of him! Are you insulting an idiot's intelligence?" Tian Buyi cursed furiously.

"Say a few words less!" Su Ru glared at him. "Who talks about his own disciple like that!"

"Little Ji! How does Xiaofan usually practice?" Su Ru looked at Luo Yunji, who was puffed up with anger and glaring at Tian Buyi, and asked again.

"How does he practice?" Luo Yunji looked curiously at his master's wife. Wasn't it just practicing like that—sitting there stupidly with legs crossed and all? Thinking this in his heart, he answered the same with his mouth.

"Sitting there stupidly with legs crossed!" Everyone once again gained some understanding of their little junior brother's worldview, but thinking about it, it really was like that! Everyone was once again speechless and helpless.

"Little Junior Brother! Didn't you also see Seventh Junior Brother's Taiji Seal just now?" Fourth Brother saw that his master's wife had asked back and forth without getting to the point, and for Old Seven's sake, he could only step in himself.

"Yeah!"

"One gold and one blue, two colors!" Fourth Brother continued to guide him.

"Yeah! Look!" As he spoke, he waved one hand. A "Taiji Seal" that was much brighter and more solid than the one Zhang Xiaofan had previously cast, and that was likewise one gold and one blue, appeared before everyone's eyes.

Tian Buyi stood up outright, chilled and despairing. His entire body trembled as he looked at the "Taiji Seal" in front of him, his face full of grief and disbelief.

Su Ru, Song Daren, and the others were also frightened stiff.

Zhang Xiaofan was even more nervous. Still kneeling, he shuffled over in front of Luo Yunji, shielding him behind him, and kept kowtowing to Tian Buyi as he explained in panic, "Master! This has nothing to do with Little Junior Brother! It's all this disciple's fault! This disciple gave Little Junior Brother the cultivation method! Little Junior Brother doesn't know anything! If you want to punish someone, punish this disciple!" Zhang Xiaofan knocked his head on the ground while crying out.

"This... this..." Tian Buyi, who had always treated this youngest disciple like a treasure, fell back into his chair in despair.

"Little Senior Brother, what are you doing! Your head's split open! Stop kowtowing!" Seeing the sound of Zhang Xiaofan's head striking the ground grow heavier each time, Luo Yunji hurriedly grabbed him, then burst out crying with a "wah."

"Little Junior Brother! This has nothing to do with you!" Zhang Xiaofan pulled Luo Yunji behind him and again kept kowtowing to Tian Buyi.

"Enough! Old Seven, stop kowtowing too!" Su Ru really could not watch any longer. "Little Ji! Tell us where the cultivation method came from!"

"Cultivation method! Mother! You mean this?" As he spoke, he cast another gold-and-blue "Taiji Seal."

"Yes! Who taught you this cultivation method!" Tian Buyi's eyes were wide open. He still clung to a faint, slim hope, hoping that his youngest disciple's method had not the slightest relation to any other sect.

That way, even if others learned that the methods Zhang Xiaofan and Luo Yunji cultivated were different, they could still explain that they had obtained some predecessor's legacy through a fortuitous encounter or the like.

"I changed it myself!" Luo Yunji said with an expression as if this were perfectly ordinary.

"Changed... you changed it yourself!" Everyone was once again stunned speechless by this precious darling's words!

Thinking about it, that was true. Since he could create new art formulas, why could he not improve a cultivation method! Was it that Little Junior Brother was usually so muddled that everyone had forgotten his monstrous nature in cultivation?

"You... how could you change a cultivation method!" Tian Buyi calmed himself and shouted angrily.

"The 'Taiji Mystic Purity Dao' was already an incomplete cultivation method to begin with! I only modified it a little!" Luo Yunji stared at Tian Buyi with a look of "that's how it should be." The little fellow was still angry that he had made Zhang Xiaofan kowtow, so he did not give him a pleasant expression—even if he was Master! If Zhang Xiaofan's head got broken from kowtowing, then who would make him delicious food!

"Incomplete..." Tian Buyi's mind seemed to stop working. A cultivation method passed down for a thousand years, the foundation upon which Azure Clouds had established its sect, one of the righteous path's three supreme cultivation methods—today, from the mouth of his youngest disciple, it had actually been judged with the word "incomplete."

"Bastard! How could Azure Clouds' thousand-year inherited cultivation method be incomplete! How could it possibly be incomplete!" Tian Buyi was so angry his eyes bulged round, as if they might pop out at any moment.

"It is incomplete! Otherwise, why are there only the first four levels of the method! If that's not incomplete, what is! The 'Taiji Mystic Purity Dao' after I modified it has already completed the fifth level's method. And the first four levels are no longer that hard to break through either. Look at Little Senior Brother. It hasn't even been a year since he went up the mountain, and isn't he about to reach the second level already!" Luo Yunji lifted his chinless little neck and said this with certainty, wearing an expression of "you people really have no experience," likewise widening his eyes until they were round as he glared back at Tian Buyi.

"Almost second level!" Everyone was shocked again. Damn it, what happened to the agreed-upon five years for the second level!

Unwilling to believe in evil, Tian Buyi walked up to Zhang Xiaofan, who was kneeling on the ground, reached out to grip his pulse gate, and sent a strand of spiritual power in to investigate. Only after confirming it again and again did he have no choice but to accept this fact.
