"Junior Brother Ji, can you tell us how you cultivate?"
"Yes, yes. Is there some secret to it?"
"Can you share it with us?"
A flock of lovely young women surrounded Ji Changfeng.
The female disciples of Xiaozhu Peak were all quite attractive. Even the least striking among them would have been comparable to some minor internet celebrities from his previous life.
Faced with their encirclement,
Ji Changfeng was not intimidated,
but he did feel rather helpless.
What cultivation secret could he possibly have?
Did Heaven-Defying Comprehension count?
But if he said that out loud, it would not be a secret.
It would be showing off...
Fortunately, Wen Min stepped forward to rescue him at that moment.
"Enough, enough."
"Junior Brother Ji is planning to visit Moon-Gazing Platform. Stop pestering him. You can ask him after he comes back."
As Xiaozhu Peak's senior sister, Wen Min had a gentle disposition, but no one dared challenge her authority...
Therefore,
the moment Wen Min spoke,
the surrounding Xiaozhu Peak female disciples all fell silent.
But it was not long before
they began chatting again.
"Moon-Gazing Platform?"
"Is Junior Brother Ji interested in our Xiaozhu Peak's Moon-Gazing Platform?"
"I remember Junior Sister Lu seems to cultivate there, right?"
"Yes, yes. Junior Sister Lu has a cold temperament. Other than cultivating on Moon-Gazing Platform all day, she hardly does anything else..."
Listening to the Xiaozhu Peak female disciples talk,
Ji Changfeng's heart stirred.
Junior Sister Lu?
Could she be Lu Xueqi?
At that moment, Wen Min led Ji Changfeng out of the encirclement of the Xiaozhu Peak disciples and softly explained,
"Junior Sister Lu is Master's most prized disciple."
"In less than two and a half years of cultivation, she had already reached the Jade Pure Fifth Layer. Master had also bestowed upon her the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon—the Heavenly Evil Divine Sword!"
As Wen Min spoke,
there was still a trace of envy in her eyes.
Outstanding cultivation talent, Master's favor, and a Nine Heavens Divine Weapon bestowed upon her—this series of actions undoubtedly conveyed a certain attitude.
Lu Xueqi was Xiaozhu Peak's future Peak Master heir.
As Xiaozhu Peak's senior sister,
Wen Min would be lying if she said she was not envious.
But what could she do?
In the Cultivation World,
everything ultimately depended on one's own true strength.
Without sufficient strength, even if one became Peak Master, one would not be able to keep those beneath them in line...
Therefore,
all Wen Min felt was envy.
She knew her own capabilities well, so she harbored no jealousy.
Ji Changfeng smiled faintly. "Senior Sister Wenmin is quite open-minded."
"Oh? You could tell?"
Wen Min glanced at Ji Changfeng in surprise.
She had not expected that, despite his young age,
he could see through her thoughts?
Ji Changfeng gently shook his head and did not linger on the matter. After all, it was Xiaozhu Peak's internal affair. He said,
"Senior Sister Wenmin, do you know my Dazhu Peak senior brother, Song Daren?"
At those words, Wen Min froze slightly.
But soon,
a rosy blush appeared on her lovely face.
"Of course I know him."
Even Wen Min's voice became a little quieter.
Seeing this, Ji Changfeng smiled faintly.
It seemed things between Senior Sister Wenmin and Senior Brother Daren had worked out.
"Before coming to Xiaozhu Peak, Senior Brother Daren asked me to pass a message to Senior Sister Wenmin..."
Ji Changfeng said.
Hearing that, Wen Min instinctively asked,
"What message?"
Ji Changfeng chuckled. Imitating Song Daren's tone as best he could, he said to Wen Min,
"Junior Sister Wenmin, have you been well lately?"
The moment his words fell,
Wen Min's pretty face was instantly covered in a rosy blush.
"What a blockhead!"
Wen Min could not help but spit out the words.
But after saying them, she suddenly remembered that Ji Changfeng was still beside her...
Wen Min flusteredly looked to the side.
Ji Changfeng wore a faint smile, with no trace of gossiping intent on his face.
Seeing this, Wen Min breathed a sigh of relief.
Suppressing the embarrassment in her heart, she said,
"Junior Brother Ji, Moon-Gazing Platform is just ahead."
"I'll take you there."
With that,
Wen Min hurried ahead.
She did not dare linger, afraid Ji Changfeng would see the embarrassment on her face.
Ji Changfeng leisurely followed after her.
Moon-Gazing Platform was located at the summit of Xiaozhu Peak.
There was a broad open space around it suitable for cultivation, and a pavilion stood not far away. The scenery was rather pleasant.
Of course, it was surely most beautiful at night.
After all, one could tell from the name Moon-Gazing Platform itself. Gazing at the moon, gazing at the moon—without the moon of Great Yin, how could it be complete?
"Swish—"
As soon as he approached Moon-Gazing Platform,
Ji Changfeng heard the sound of a sword cutting through the air.
Looking over, he saw a girl in white holding an azure Divine Sword, continuously wielding it.
Her pretty face was clear and ethereal. Her garments were like snow, her person like jade, and her fair skin was as delicate as porcelain. Under the gentle sunlight, it was as though she had been caressed by radiance, giving off a faint, soft glow...
Though the girl was still young, every movement she made carried an utter indifference, as though strangers should keep their distance.
Ji Changfeng's expression remained unchanged at the sight.
The moment he saw her,
he understood the girl's identity.
Xiaozhu Peak's eighteenth-generation disciple—Lu Xueqi!
Boom!
At that moment, a voice seemed to thunder through Ji Changfeng's mind from somewhere unseen.
You watched a beauty dance with her sword and realized that life was fleeting. One should seize the day, roam freely beneath Heaven and Earth, and live with ease—your state of mind has changed, and your cultivation has advanced!
"Swish—"
In an instant, a profound and mysterious aura emerged around Ji Changfeng.
Immediately afterward, the spiritual power within him began circulating of its own accord.
Boom!
The surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy rapidly converged upon him.
He was about to break through!
The sudden change immediately startled Wen Min and Lu Xueqi, who was dancing with her sword in the distance.
Their gazes snapped toward Ji Changfeng.
A trace of incredulous astonishment appeared in both their eyes.
He was...
breaking through in cultivation?!
Boom—
The spiritual power around Ji Changfeng trembled slightly.
Jade Pure Fifth Layer—breakthrough!
Wen Min covered her mouth in shock, staring in disbelief as Ji Changfeng broke through.
Lu Xueqi frowned slightly.
Jade Pure Fifth Layer?
Who was he?
"Swish—"
At that moment, Ji Changfeng slowly opened his eyes and gently exhaled a breath of stale air.
This breakthrough had come naturally.
It had not taken much of his time.
"Junior Brother Ji, did you... break through in cultivation?"
Wen Min's astonished voice rang beside his ear.
Ji Changfeng smiled faintly. "Just luck."
"..." Wen Min was speechless.
Here he went again, here he went again.
Mr. Just Luck was at it again!
Was he even human?!
He had merely watched someone dance with a sword, and his cultivation had broken through on the spot?
Why had she never thought Junior Sister Lu's sword dance had such an effect before?
At this moment,
Lu Xueqi sheathed her sword.
Her cool eyes regarded Ji Changfeng with considerable curiosity.
Junior Brother Ji?
Was he the Ji Changfeng who had reached the Jade Pure First Layer in a single night and the Jade Pure Second Layer in half a month?!
