"We won! Our Longevity Sect won!"
The Longevity Sect disciples instantly erupted in cheers, many of them shouting at the top of their lungs!
Meng Caihong's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled completely!
"Third Elder, Ji Wuchang is excellent. The sect will prioritize his development from now on! Effective immediately, he will receive the same treatment as Huang Wanqiu and Cai Ping!"
Zhen Yaotian laughed heartily as he spoke to Meng Caihong beside him.
Joy appeared on Meng Caihong's face when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Sect Master!"
The other elders also looked at Meng Caihong with envy, but none of them spoke.
They knew very well just how difficult it had been to win that fight.
Jin Enting was the strongest Body Refining Realm cultivator the Great Saber Pavilion had nurtured with vast resources. He also possessed the Giant Bear Bloodline, giving him combat strength comparable to the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Yet even someone like him had been defeated by Ji Wuchang, who had secured thirty-five percent of the resources for the sect for the next twenty years.
There was nothing excessive about giving him the same treatment as one of the sect's seeded disciples!
The smile had long since vanished from Zhao Sandao's face, and his expression was exceedingly complicated as he looked at Ji Wuchang.
The Longevity Sect already had a monster like Zhen Miaoqing. To think another Ji Wuchang had now emerged! It would become increasingly difficult for the Great Saber Pavilion to wrestle with the Longevity Sect in the future!
But Zhao Sandao knew very well that Jin Enting had done his best. It was not that he was not formidable enough, but that someone else was even more monstrous!
When geniuses shared the same stage, someone was bound to leave it in dejection.
Zhen Miaoqing looked at Ji Wuchang below, the appreciation in her eyes growing stronger. This little junior brother had surprised her several times in just two short days!
"Eldest Senior Sister, why don't you stay instead of leaving? I think with this little freak around, you probably won't be lonely in the future!"
Huang Wanqiu spoke with a smile. She truly could not bear to see Zhen Miaoqing leave.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Miaoqing shook her head immediately, then said, "My master once said that Boyun Province is too small. It doesn't even have a single Six Spirits Realm expert!"
"The world outside is vast, with countless heaven's chosen!"
"Since I can't find an opponent among my peers in Boyun Province, I'll venture out and see the wider world!"
"If I grow tired one day, I'll return to the sect!"
After Zhen Miaoqing finished speaking, an air of dominance radiated from her, and fighting spirit shone in her eyes.
Hearing Zhen Miaoqing's words, Huang Wanqiu could not help sighing softly and stopped trying to persuade her!
As though something had occurred to her, Huang Wanqiu glanced at Cai Ping nearby.
For some reason, Huang Wanqiu disliked this person intensely.
There was no reason, just an intuition. She felt that Cai Ping was very dark inside!
Tai Yujie had fallen completely silent. Ji Wuchang's final strike just now had made her hair stand on end.
Of the three of them, Zeng Linghong was the happiest. Although he was the senior brother, he could not help looking at Ji Wuchang with admiration!
"From now on, Senior Brother Ji Wuchang is my idol!"
"Does Senior Brother Ji Wuchang have someone he likes? I want to get to know him!"
"Senior Brother Ji Wuchang is so handsome! He's the most handsome man I've ever seen!"
"Heavens, since you brought Wuchang into this world, why bring me into it too? What a pity for my high-grade profound-tier talent!"
All kinds of discussions rang endlessly through the crowd, almost all of them praising Ji Wuchang. His name began to resound throughout the Longevity Sect!
[Ding! Congratulations, Master, on completing the task of making an initial name for yourself in the Longevity Sect. Master is rewarded with the "Ancient Method of Organ Refining"!] [System reminder: this technique is specifically designed to temper the five viscera and six bowels, allowing Master to reach the Divine Treasury as soon as possible!] [Reward: five years of cultivation! Fortune Points +300. Jin Enting's Fortune Points -300!]
Ji Wuchang was slowly walking off the stage when the system's voice suddenly rang out in his mind, instantly making his eyes light up!
What I need most right now is a way to temper my five viscera and six bowels and enter the Divine Treasury as soon as possible. To think the system would reward me with exactly that!
I've really struck it rich this time!
External strength did not count as true strength. Internal strength was true strength!
Ji Wuchang felt a powerful surge of spiritual power appear within him and hurriedly circulated the purple Qi Heaven-Burning Art, guiding it into his five viscera and six bowels!
"Greetings, Senior Brother Ji!"
Chen Boyu, Duan Junsheng, Fan Huajun, and Huang Guangwen cupped their fists simultaneously and bowed to Ji Wuchang!
These four were currently the strongest four Qi Refining Realm cultivators in the Longevity Sect. Their address of senior brother was not a matter of seniority, but an acknowledgment of Ji Wuchang.
It was just like Zhen Miaoqing. She was actually younger than many of them, yet everyone willingly addressed him as eldest senior sister.
This was a form of recognition, representing the Qi Refining Realm cultivators' acknowledgment of Ji Wuchang!
"Greetings, Senior Brother Ji!"
Many Qi Refining Realm cultivators cupped their fists and bowed to Ji Wuchang, a hint of fervor in their eyes!
Their words instantly triggered a chain reaction. More and more Qi Refining Realm disciples stood up and bowed to Ji Wuchang!
At this moment, Ji Wuchang had truly made a name for himself among the Qi Refining Realm disciples.
Cai Ping looked at Ji Wuchang in the distance, a trace of killing intent appearing in his eyes!
He was the sect master's disciple, yet he had become a laughingstock in the Longevity Sect. Everyone only remembered him when Zhen Miaoqing was mentioned!
At this moment, Cai Ping came to hate many people, including Zhen Yaotian.
He himself had said he would betroth Zhen Miaoqing to Cai Ping, yet now he never mentioned it!
Whenever he thought of his father, who had died for Zhen Yaotian, Cai Ping felt that Zhen Yaotian was an ungrateful wolf. At this moment, killing intent surged to the heavens in his heart.
But Cai Ping buried this killing intent deep inside, because he knew very well that he was still weak. For Zhen Yaotian, crushing him to death would be like crushing an ant.
Cai Ping had once thought he would become the most dazzling presence in the Longevity Sect. Now he had become a laughingstock instead. Hatred filled his heart!
Although Ji Wuchang had nothing to do with him, he had seen the appreciation for Ji Wuchang in Zhen Miaoqing's eyes, and now he saw how popular Ji Wuchang was.
At this moment, Cai Ping came to hate Ji Wuchang, killing intent chilling his heart!
Amid everyone's cheers, Ji Wuchang returned to Meng Caihong's side.
The surrounding elders looked at Ji Wuchang with appreciation in their eyes.
"Wuchang, are you all right?"
Seeing Ji Wuchang's pale face, Meng Caihong hurriedly asked with concern.
There was actually nothing wrong with Ji Wuchang. Most of his current condition was an act.
Having lived two lives, Ji Wuchang understood one principle very well: the tree that rose above the forest would surely be battered by the wind!
His strength was far too lacking at present. Even with a big shot like Ji Yaoyao at his side, he still needed to be careful, or he might very well capsize in a gutter!
"Master, there's nothing seriously wrong with me. It's just that using that final move damaged my meridians somewhat."
"I won't stay to watch the remaining matches. I'll go back first and properly regulate my breathing!"
Hearing Ji Wuchang's words, Meng Caihong indeed grew somewhat anxious. Without the slightest hesitation, she said, "All right, go back first!"
Ji Wuchang hurriedly nodded, then bowed to Meng Caihong. After bowing to the other elders as well, he left the main peak.
