Having made his choice, Ji Wuchang no longer hesitated and began cultivating.
With the memories of his previous life, Ji Wuchang naturally knew how to cultivate it. In just over two hours, he brought the Wheel of Blazing Flames to minor mastery!
If Ji Wuchang wanted to go faster, he could also spend Fortune Points, but he did not do so!
These were all combat techniques he had cultivated in his previous life. They would not take much time, so there was no need to waste the Fortune Points he had worked so hard to obtain!
Ji Wuchang always felt that Fortune Points would be of great use, so he saved them up for now!
"Your master and the others are back!"
Ji Wuchang had been about to begin cultivating the Shadow Sword Art, but Ji Yaoyao's voice made him immediately abandon the idea.
With a cheat like Ji Yaoyao around, Ji Wuchang found things much more convenient indeed.
A few breaths later, several figures landed outside Ji Wuchang's courtyard. They were Meng Caihong and her three disciples.
The four did not conceal their presence. Ji Wuchang hurriedly opened the door, bowed, and cupped his fists. "Greetings, Master! Greetings, Senior Brother and Senior Sisters!"
Meng Caihong waved a hand, then reached out and took Ji Wuchang's hand. A strand of spiritual power entered his body.
A moment later, the strand of spiritual power returned, and Meng Caihong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your meridians are strong. It seems you're no longer in any serious trouble! I can rest easy now!"
Meng Caihong's words warmed Ji Wuchang's heart. This master of his really was good to him.
"Thank you, Master. After returning just now, I regulated my breathing for a while. I'm no longer in any serious trouble!"
Ji Wuchang spoke with a smile. He knew his master must have discovered that his meridians were uninjured.
An Kexin and Tai Yujie glanced at Ji Wuchang, disappointment flashing through both their eyes!
"Junior Brother, you've truly become a celebrity in our Longevity Sect now!"
Zeng Linghong spoke with a happy smile on his face.
Ji Wuchang laughed heartily and said, "Second Senior Brother, a man fears fame as a pig fears growing fat. I'd rather go back to how things were!"
Zeng Linghong paused, then nodded. He knew his junior brother did not want too many people paying attention to him!
Meng Caihong said with a smile, "Wuchang has a good disposition. I'm very pleased. The road of immortal cultivation is long to begin with. A moment's success or failure proves nothing!"
After speaking, Meng Caihong took out a storage ring and placed it in Ji Wuchang's hand.
"The sect leader just gave this to me. It's your reward. Inside are ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones and a third-grade Meridian-Warming Pill."
At Meng Caihong's words, a trace of greed involuntarily appeared in both An Kexin's and Tai Yujie's eyes, which were also filled with jealousy.
Between the two of them, they had only a little over a thousand low-grade spirit stones, equivalent to around a hundred mid-grade spirit stones.
Yet Ji Wuchang had ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones. How could that not inspire envy, jealousy, and resentment!
Ji Wuchang accepted the storage ring, delight instantly appearing in his eyes. The sect leader really was his wealth-bringing boy!
"Master, I can't use so many spirit stones anyway. Please take some!"
Meng Caihong considered it, then nodded and said, "Very well. Leaving so much spiritual power on you is indeed inappropriate."
"I'll leave you a thousand mid-grade spirit stones and keep the rest for you."
"Whenever you need spirit stones, just come and get them from me!"
After speaking, Meng Caihong took nine thousand mid-grade spirit stones, then handed the storage ring back to Ji Wuchang.
Ji Wuchang also breathed a sigh of relief. Ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones were rather too eye-catching for him at present. A thousand was more reasonable.
"By the way, Master, how did the remaining matches go?"
Ji Wuchang put away the storage ring and asked with a smile!
Meng Caihong smiled faintly, then said with a smile, "For the Foundation Establishment Realm matches, the sect leader deliberately went easy on them. Of the five matches, each side won two, and one ended in a draw."
"As for the Purple Mansion Realm match, Miaoqing won, of course!"
"After this competition, our Longevity Sect ultimately received sixty-five percent of the resources, five percentage points more than in previous years!"
Ji Wuchang understood immediately upon hearing this. Zhen Yaotian was giving the Great Saber Pavilion face.
Had they competed normally, the Great Saber Pavilion would have been thanking heaven and earth to receive thirty percent. Now they had received thirty-five percent, only five percentage points less than in previous years.
This was also Zhen Yaotian's punishment for Zhao Sandao of the Great Saber Pavilion scheming against him.
In his previous life, the Great Saber Pavilion had obtained fifty percent of the resources, snatching an extra ten percent from the Longevity Sect.
It was precisely this ten percent of the resources that had caused the resources allocated to each peak of the Longevity Sect to be reduced by ten percent afterward.
Now that he had lived his life anew, he had flapped the butterfly's wings and changed this outcome!
Meng Caihong did not stay long. After chatting briefly with Ji Wuchang, she left.
Ji Wuchang learned from Meng Caihong that the fifth elder, Tang Yiyuan, would return in two days!
Upon hearing this news, excitement instantly appeared in Ji Wuchang's eyes. Xiao Fan was coming!
Ji Wuchang decided to go outside the sect in two days to watch the excitement. This was the major occasion of the sect recruiting disciples. How could he not go and take a look!
Ji Wuchang had gone in his previous life as well. Back then, Xiao Fan had become the fifth elder's disciple.
Besides going to see Xiao Fan, there was another person Ji Wuchang was very interested in. Her name was Cang Qing!
Cang Qing came from a small aristocratic clan. She was a renowned genius of the Cang Clan and possessed a Water Spirit Physique.
But someone had plotted against her, and she had swallowed a Fire Spirit Fruit. Fire and water could not coexist, causing her Water Spirit Physique to be damaged and severely injuring her foundation!
Just like that, a young genius's story had ended in gloom.
Ji Wuchang still remembered it very clearly. Cang Qing had come to the Longevity Sect hoping to join, but not a single person wanted her!
She had knelt at the Longevity Sect for an entire day before leaving.
Later, for some unknown reason, Zhao Sandao of the Great Saber Pavilion had taken an interest in her and brought her away.
Afterward, Cang Qing had risen powerfully in the Great Saber Pavilion. When establishing her foundation, she had even forged eight Dao Platforms, becoming a heaven's chosen!
It was said that, had Cang Qing's Water Spirit Physique not been damaged, he could have condensed a ninth Dao Platform!
After reaching Foundation Establishment, Cang Qing had returned to the Cang Clan and killed dozens of its members. Only then had the world finally learned that the person who had plotted against her was her own uncle!
Later, Cang Qing's cultivation had continued to break through. Only after becoming a Six Spirits Realm expert had she left Boyun Province to travel the world.
Although Cang Qing's aptitude might not compare to Zhen Miaoqing's, she was definitely a heaven's chosen as well.
In his previous life, Ji Wuchang had never had any dealings with Cang Qing. At most, he could say they had met.
Ji Wuchang thought of Cang Qing not because he had any designs on her, but because he wanted his master to take her as a disciple.
An Kexin and Tai Yujie were both people he had to kill. Once they died, Little Bamboo Peak would have no female disciples left.
Ji Wuchang remembered very clearly that Cang Qing was someone who repaid kindness.
When the Great Saber Pavilion later faced danger, it was Cang Qing who had risked her life to resolve it. Her standing in the Great Saber Pavilion could be said to equal Zhen Miaoqing's standing in the Longevity Sect!
With a junior sister like her joining Little Bamboo Peak, Ji Wuchang would be at ease!
