As Long as He Looked the Part, He Was Cultivating and Improving

Night Descent.

A long time.

Xiao Ye then rushed back from outside.

Just as he was about to return to the house, Xiao Ye suddenly turned around, his expression shifting.

"Master."

Lu Changzhi stopped and used the system to check Xiao Ye's cultivation level:

The realm column now clearly shows that he has reached the Dao Platform Realm Ninth Level.

When we first met, he was only at the Dao Platform Realm Third Level.

Furthermore, even his aptitude has been upgraded from Peak-Grade Earth Rank to Mid-Grade Heaven Rank.

This speed is by no means slow.

"Xiao Ye."

Regaining his attention, Lu Changzhi spoke:

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself when it comes to spiritual practice."

"If there's anything you can't handle on your own, you can ask others for help. Although our Five Symbols Sect isn't very big, we still have a fair number of people."

Upon hearing Lu Changzhi's words, Xiao Ye's heart stirred slightly.

He remembered what his second senior brother had told him before.

Not long ago, facing more than 300 enemies, the sect sent out nearly 3,000 elders, giving each enemy a moment of glory by defeating ten of them.

He was utterly shocked when he first learned of this.

After reflecting on it Jingjing, I realized that there was still a lot of room for improvement in how well I prepared.

That's why he realized he needed to raise his goals.

It's important to know that there's another task running in the system.

The Ma Clan is likely not as simple as it appears on the surface.

If your strength is just enough, then it's definitely not enough.

As for what Master said, find someone to help.

I'm afraid that won't work in this matter.

Because this task required his personal attention.

Furthermore, time is also a factor; the faster it is completed, the higher the rating will be.

In short, time is short, the task is heavy, and we must work incredibly hard.

Of course, these things are obviously not something that can be said.

Xiao Ye thought for a moment, looked at Lu Changzhi, and said:

"Thank you for your concern, Master. However, I currently bear the hopes of my Lineage on my shoulders. I intend to improve my strength as soon as possible so that I can personally resolve the Lineage's crisis at the earliest opportunity."

Lu Changzhi nodded; he did remember this matter.

Since you have your own plans, then you can make the decision yourself.

After a pause, Lu Changzhi turned and asked:

"Are you experiencing any difficulties in your spiritual practice and understanding?"

Xiao Ye thought for a moment and replied:

"I am currently studying some basic martial arts techniques and skills, which are not yet difficult."

"I must thank my master for accepting me as a disciple, bringing me here, and bestowing upon me such good fortune."

The following sentence is sincere and heartfelt.

Upon learning of this, one should put it into practice.

After spending some time at the Five Symbols Sect, he realized that the strength of the Eastern Region was far greater than he had previously heard.

Judging from the martial arts techniques and ancient books that he has access to, he can be said to have a profound foundation.

This perfectly met his needs for spiritual practice.

After all, his cultivation method was quite different from others.

Now, he sits cross-legged, holding a jade talisman for martial arts in one hand.

As long as the form is done correctly, that is a form of spiritual practice and improvement.

As for the freed-up brain and other hand, they were used to look at various records and strange tales to broaden their horizons and pass the time.

Aside from the occasional worry that his master might discover he didn't live up to his title,

Everything is quite good.

Lu Changzhi was unaware of these things.

After all, getting up early and returning late doesn't exactly look like an easy job.

After chatting for a while, seeing that Xiao Ye seemed to be really enjoying the situation, Lu Changzhi felt relieved.

It's fine to roll it up, the problem is rolling it up unwillingly.

Since it's about enjoyment, rolling it up is a good idea.

The disciple studies diligently, and the master enjoys a lifetime of happiness.

The last time I simplified Jing Yun's realm, it took a lot of energy. I estimate that it will be full in the next couple of days.

Southern Region.

Dongfang Clan.

Dongfang Jun and several powerful Dongfang Clan looked at a jade talisman on the table.

"They almost died in the Eastern Region last time, and now they're already planning to send Qin Jiuxiao Eastern Region again. The Cloud Heaven Holy Land certainly has a lot of ambition."

The jade talisman contained a message from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.

Soon, the Holy Land will take Qin Jiuxiao to the Eastern Region to seek opportunities.

"Perhaps there is indeed some great opportunity worth such a risk. However, Qin Jiuxiao survived last time. What should we do this time?" one of the clansmen pondered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Jun looked over:

"The people of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land aren't fools. Those two took a long time for their soul tablets to shatter, so they must already know it was done by my Dongfang Clan. But so far, they haven't made a single move."

Upon hearing this, another person nodded in agreement:

"Then this was probably intentional on their part. The opportunity was just a pretext; they really wanted to lure the snake out of its hole."

"It must be. After suffering such a serious injury last time, it's probably not even fully healed yet, and they've already run off to the Eastern Region. Does the Cloud Heaven Holy Land think the Dongfang Clan is stupid?"

The person who had made the suggestion earlier also seemed slightly taken aback, and then said:

"It seems this isn't a good opportunity. But is Qin Jiuxiao just going to ignore it?"

The atmosphere on the field tensed slightly.

Dongfang Jun paused for a moment, then turned to look at the old man sitting to the side and said:

"Elder, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

"There's no need to rush," the elder said slowly, looking outside.

"Given the unusual activity not long ago, coupled with the recent actions of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, something big is likely to happen soon."

"This matter is of utmost importance to warrant such attention from the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty."

"This matter is of utmost importance to the Dongfang Clan. If we can gain some opportunity from it, it is not impossible for the Dongfang Clan to regain its former glory."

The mention of the unusual activity caused a slight change in the expressions of everyone present.

The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty held absolute power in the Southern Region, and if the Dongfang Clan hadn't been located on the edge of the Eastern Region, they would have found it difficult to remain unaffected.

Having occupied the vast majority of the Southern Region, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty has made significant moves over the years.

They had also heard about this commotion.

The Great Zhou Dynasty dispatched numerous powerful individuals and personnel to various parts of its territory.

What their purpose was remains unknown.

However, when considered in conjunction with the previous unusual activity, it becomes quite intriguing.

The fact that it could affect such a large area is no small matter.

"However, the Cloud Heaven Holy Land should not be underestimated."

The elder changed the subject and reminded them:

"That Qin Jiuxiao is their prospective holy son. The Holy Land has been taking good care of him. Last time, they seriously injured him, so the Cloud Heaven Holy Land will definitely not let this go and will definitely do something."

"When the younger members of the family go out, remember to be extra careful to avoid retaliation from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land."

"Of course, if we encounter any powerful figures from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, we should certainly take action and provoke them further."

After speaking, he looked at Dongfang Jun and asked:

"How's the other task I assigned going?"
