Tian Yi Peak.
Chu Jingxiao had crippled Wu Hao's mid-Body Refining cultivation, reducing him to a mortal once more.
This time, Wu Hao was not angered by having his cultivation crippled, because Chu Jingxiao had prepared top-grade Foundation Establishment liquid for him. It was far better than cultivating on his own.
At this moment, Chu Jingxiao was refining a great cauldron, while Wu Hao cultivated Foundation Establishment within it.
Beside them, a Heavenly Realm expert was stoking the flames. He, too, was one of Chu Jingxiao's followers.
"Brother Chu, I remember this boy. During the test, he even defied Elder Jieyin. He seemed to have made the Chaos Bell ring only three times, so his talent is rather ordinary. Why did you choose him?" As the Heavenly Realm expert urged the flames, he transmitted his voice to Chu Jingxiao.
Given Chu Jingxiao's current status, recruiting even some second-rank divine bodies would have been effortless. Yet he had gone to recruit an ordinary outer disciple who had only caused three rings. It truly puzzled him.
"Heh heh, this boy is far from ordinary!"
Chu Jingxiao shook his head and transmitted, "I have observed him for a long time. His pride soars to the heavens. Even when others humiliated him, he never lowered his head in the slightest. His willpower is astonishing."
"You understand as well that our lineage places the greatest emphasis on willpower. Without an unyielding will, it is difficult to comprehend the essence of the Profound Meaning Fast-Track Method."
"As for talent? Hmph, once one masters the Profound Meaning Fast-Track Method, is talent still needed? My master's talent back then was nothing remarkable either, yet he still reached the peak of the Great Saint Realm. Advancing to Quasi-Emperor in the future will be no problem for him."
