"I know you have big ambitions, but I didn't expect you to quietly come up with this idea."
In the dormitory building's Cultivation field, Mu Ye sat upright, looking at Feng Zaixing with a complex expression. Feng Zaixing had sent Yu Xin back to her bedroom and then, reinvigorated, came to the night class.
"Leaving aside everything else, you've been cultivating desperately for the past two years, and you really should rest a bit. Even in Shrek Academy's inner court, the most diligent students only Cultivate for half the time you do."
Feng Zaixing stretched his arms, his bones crackling audibly, and smiled as he faced Mu Ye:
"Isn't today a rare chance to relax? Before, besides accompanying Na'er, I wouldn't even leave the door."
"Without the resolve to Cultivate desperately, I'm not worthy of being your and Teacher Hua's student, nor am I worthy of my Spirit."
From comprehending Sword Intent to grasping the Heart of Elements, from breaking through to Spirit Grandmaster to becoming a fifth-level Blacksmith, his Cultivation state sometimes made even Mu Ye and A Ruheng sigh in admiration, leading them to work just as hard.
As of today, A Ruheng is very close to the seven-ring Realm, and his Innate secret methods are steadily advancing. Only Mu Ye still clings to his mecha.
Regarding this, Feng Zaixing secretly made up his mind that in the future, he would ask a powerful individual to suppress Mu Ye, temporarily seize his mecha, and force him to focus solely on Cultivating spirit power and breaking through to higher Realms.
If Mu Ye was unwilling to walk the "righteous path," he would have no choice but to forcefully give him a 100,000-year immortal-grade item and invite this teacher to become the Grand Sect Master. He believed that the ancestors of the Body Sect would definitely approve of his decision.
In troubled times, severe measures must be used. The revival of the Body Sect is not his responsibility alone. It is absolutely impossible for him to exhaust himself while his teacher enjoys the fruits of his labor; everyone must get up and work hard for it.
Mu Ye naturally didn't know that this Disciple's "butcher's knife" caused indiscriminate damage across the entire map. After a few words of comfort, he brought up Yu Xin, his face full of gossip.
"You and the Yu Family's young lady have a very good relationship, discussing such important matters with her immediately."
Feng Zaixing rolled his eyes slightly, looking at the other party and saying, "Teacher, your job in this matter is the Late Stage negotiations. You can't help in the Early to Middle Stage."
"Remember, when you get to the negotiating table, insist that we are the victims, that Shrek is the great villain. Then, bring up old grievances and settle old scores. First, demand that Shrek unconditionally hand over the 'Secrets of the Body' that they have owed us for ten thousand years. The more harshly you scold them, the better."
"Remember, it's an unconditional handover. This item cannot be included in the compensation list. Spirit Ice Douluo is shameless, having greedily taken our Sect's ultimate technique, and Shrek is even more brazen, occupying it for ten thousand years without even mentioning its return. This is simply outrageous…"
Worried that Mu Ye, who didn't have much eloquence, would suffer a loss, Feng Zaixing meticulously explained the negotiation points, brought out props, and personally demonstrated with great emotion.
Mu Ye's eyes sparkled repeatedly. He strongly suspected that this child was an actor in his previous life; it didn't look like acting!
If he were to lose control and go mad in front of a group of contemporary experts, exposing this dark history, wouldn't Shrek's reputation be utterly ruined?
"Mm-hmm, I remember, don't worry, I will absolutely not let down your expectations."
Mu Ye nodded repeatedly, the more he thought about it, the more wonderful it seemed. As expected of the next Sect Master successor he had chosen, there was no regret at all, except that he hadn't Cultivated the Innate secret method.
However, having said that, even if he wanted to teach Feng Zaixing the Innate secret method now, the Body Sect didn't have enough resources… "That's good. The plan will be launched next year. For now, besides keeping an eye on those few useless people from Shrek, the most important thing is Cultivation. Please help me as a Protector. Tonight, we'll have a rare relaxation and Cultivate in a different way."
Feng Zaixing moved his storage ring, took out the jade box containing the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, opened it, and began to devour it from the giant stamen, then petal by petal. Immediately after, he sat cross-legged in meditation, operating the modified Mysterious Heaven Skill, which outwardly appeared to be the Body Sect's meditation method, to absorb the medicinal power.
Using the modified Mysterious Heaven Skill to refine the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, a strange feeling arose in Feng Zaixing's heart for an instant, but in the next instant, this stray thought was wiped away, and he entered a state of complete meditation.
Immediately, the petals and stamens, which melted upon entry, transformed into streams of warm current that integrated into his spirit power, flowing through his Meridians, connecting his limbs, and extending through his eight extraordinary Meridians. His entire body felt warm and very comfortable.
Mu Ye looked at Feng Zaixing, who had circled back to Cultivation in just a few sentences, and soon shook his head with a laugh. This Disciple would never repeat his mistakes and would be an unprecedented and peerless quasi-god.
A short while later.
Feng Zaixing's spirit power began to surge. The medicinal power integrated into his spirit power, circulating through his body in a grand cycle, steadily but not slowly impacting the Bottleneck.
Seeing this, Mu Ye muttered to himself, "With the help of an immortal-grade item, he will definitely become a Spirit Elder within a year. A nine-year-old Spirit Elder, besides the Seraphim Spirit Master in Spirit Hall's history, no one is faster than him."
As Mu Ye expected, the medicinal power of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum rapidly dispersed, like a surging river, flushing every Meridian in Feng Zaixing's body.
Feeling the changes in his body, Feng Zaixing suddenly had an unusual idea. He pushed his Qi and blood towards a special Meridian, activating the Acquired secret method he Cultivated.
"This is an opportunity. I can try to open up the eight extraordinary Meridians, and even a Second Awakening…"
Gradually, a faint, special Meridian on Feng Zaixing's back turned crimson, and his skin faintly glowed red.
"What's going on?"
Mu Ye's expression was startled. Something unexpected was happening to Feng Zaixing; it was as if a new Meridian had been opened.
As the Sect Master of the Body Sect, Mu Ye's intuition quickly pinpointed the corresponding Meridian in Feng Zaixing. It was a Meridian that was congenitally blocked in the human body. Opening it would undoubtedly have benefits, but also dangers, and the Body Sect had rarely researched it before.
After all, they couldn't even finish researching their own body parts, and there were various secret methods to Cultivate, so they had no time to research other things. Historically, almost no one's Spirit was a Meridian.
Everything that happened next made Mu Ye stare in awe:
Feng Zaixing's body surface released a strong blood Qi and brilliant Spirit light. The elemental power of heaven and earth seemed to be summoned, rushing towards him, condensing into a massive human-shaped phantom behind the blood-Qi-shrouded youth, reaching seven or eight meters tall.
The phantom was entirely silvery-white, exuding a terrifying aura like a mighty beast.
"This, this, this… a Silver-grade Second Awakening? Is the medicinal effect of the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum that great?"
Mu Ye was dumbfounded, for a moment not knowing what words to use to describe what was happening before his eyes.
Throughout the history of the Body Sect, the Second Awakening was the most important Legacy and the fundamental reason why the Body Martial Soul was stronger than other Spirits; however, in the Sect's history, the lowest baseline for completing a Second Awakening was a three-ring Spirit Elder.
Feng Zaixing completing a Second Awakening at two rings undoubtedly set another despair-inducing record, even if he had consumed an immortal-grade item.
Financial resources were part of strength. If eating some flowers and grasses could lead to a Second Awakening, Mu Ye would eagerly distribute them to the entire Sect.
He now understood why the Tang Sect had endured for so long. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was an unparalleled foundation. He wondered how the Tang Sect's ancestor, Tang San, had discovered this treasure land.
"Next year, I must fight desperately in the argument, even if I have to cry in public, this Sect Master must extort a few more immortal-grade items from the Tang Sect!"
Mu Ye made up his mind to start researching how to curse and how to cry from tonight.
After two quarters of an hour, the phenomena around Feng Zaixing dissipated, and the magnificent scene of all rivers returning to the sea ceased. He stood up tall, his body seeming to have grown a few more inches, as straight as a pine.
"The Yinwei Meridian among the eight extraordinary Meridians has been opened. Twenty-six levels of spirit power, not bad."
Calculating his changes, Feng Zaixing revealed a knowing smile. The Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum had greatly increased his potential, truly worthy of being a top-tier thousand-year spiritual object.
Legend has it that the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum can forge an indestructible body. While the claim is exaggerated, the benefits are real. Few people below the Spirit King Realm could break his defense.
By opening one of the eight extraordinary Meridians, his speed of absorbing and recovering elemental power from heaven and earth increased by more than 20%, which would greatly benefit his future sustained battles.
After thinking for a moment, Feng Zaixing took out a transcribed scroll and handed it to Mu Ye, saying:
"Teacher, during the Spirit Ascension Platform battle today, I observed that the Star Luo Empire person's footwork was quite good, so I carefully memorized it. Please give me some pointers."
"Oh? That's another good thing then."
Mu Ye smilingly took the scroll and read it, his expression quickly changing.
"This is the footwork of the Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track."
Feng Zaixing was slightly surprised, then his eyes darted around, feigning ignorance, "Tang Sect? What Tang Sect? What does our Sect's combat technique have to do with the Tang Sect?"
"Hey, Zaixing, what you're saying is…"
Mu Ye was about to admonish him when a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.
That's right, the footwork that this Sect Master's Disciple memorized with his own ability, what on earth does it have to do with the Tang Sect!
"What are you saying, Teacher? What's wrong with what I said?" Feng Zaixing asked with a smile.
Mu Ye subtly cleared his throat twice, his face wreathed in smiles, "Of course, what you said makes perfect sense! Hahahahaha… Hahahahaha…"
The Heaven has its Karma, who can Heaven spare? The Tang Sect, which is inextricably linked with Shrek, you too have your day!
