Chapter 29: New Conjecture

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Where is she now? I have to give her a good scolding today. This mischievous child… is too outrageous.”

Thinking about how Victor was not much older than Song Qianqian, but his actions shocked even a grandmaster like Zhang Lingren.

The more Song Xiuwen thought about it, the angrier he got. With a strict expression, he walked towards the courtyard where Song Qianqian was.

“Elder, you have misunderstood.”

Hearing this, Zixuan hurriedly blocked Song Xiuwen’s path.

“Elder, I did come here today to talk about junior sister.”

Seeing Song Xiuwen’s stern expression, Zixuan suspected that if he had said it a little later, Song Qianqian might have been lectured for no reason.

“But it’s good news. It’s great news!”

Zixuan’s face revealed a happy smile.

This was a completely different reaction from previously when he had a headache whenever Song Qianqian was mentioned, along with an ugly expression.

“Great News?”

Song Xiuwen was even more puzzled.

Qianqian, this child, could still spread good news?

“Yes, after junior sister had breakfast today, she voluntarily went to cultivate. She even said that she wanted to learn from Senior Victor, and that Senior Victor was her idol, and that she wanted to follow in the footsteps of her idol.”

“Really?”

Song Xiuwen’s eyes widened in disbelief.

To be honest, it was already good enough for Song Qianqian to wake up early. She had been sleeping in every day. Unless she was allowed to play, she would drag her responsibilities regardless of what it was, especially when it came to cultivation.

To check whether Song Qianqian’s situation was true, Song Xiuwen instantly had no mood to drink the tea that he usually enjoyed savoring.

He followed Zixuan to Song Qianqian’s courtyard.

Just as the two of them reached the door, they happened to witness Song Qianqian practicing the Wind technique.

In the next moment, Song Qianqian suddenly fell from the tree because she didn’t control her balance properly.

If it were in the past, Song Qianqian would definitely be angry, complain about the pain in her butt, and leave immediately. She would then slack off for the rest of the day.

However, in Song Xiuwen’s eyes, it was as if he saw something truly unbelievable.

By the door, they both watched silently as Song Qianqian slowly got up, and then continued to practice.

Bang!

Another fall.

She got up again.

Continued practicing!

..

At this moment.

Song Xiuwen felt that his daughter had finally grown up.

Finally not the snot-nosed child who cries at the slightest bit of pain.

“Eh?”

At this moment, Song Xiuwen heard his daughter’s words of self-encouragement.

“Qianqian doesn’t hurt, Qianqian doesn’t Cry! Senior Victor must have experienced this kind of pain before. If a senior can do it, I can definitely do it too! Good luck!”

Hearing Song Qianqian’s words, Song Xiuwen’s eyes flashed with an old father’s gratification, feeling relieved.

..

In the following days.

The entire Qingyun sect was filled with vigor and vitality, meanwhile, Victor was still cultivating outside Zhang Lingren’s secret chamber.

Other than the disciples who came to deliver meals every day, the six elders would occasionally come over to take a look. Other than checking if Zhang Lingren had come out of seclusion, they would also observe Victor’s.

This was repeated regularly.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

On this day, Victor’s body trembled. After half a month of intense cultivation, Victor was finally about to breakthrough.

An even stronger aura than before burst out from his body.

“This is… the breakthrough?”

This scene happened to be witnessed by Mo Hong who had come to visit.

First-rate early stage!

Mo Hong was so shocked that his mouth couldn’t close.

“I remember Senior Brother Yu saying that half a month ago, little junior brother had just broken through to second-rate realm intermediate stage. I didn’t expect that in just half a month, he had broken through from second-rate realm intermediate stage to first-rate realm beginner stage.”

Recalling that it had taken him three years to break through from second-rate realm to the first-rate realm, seventh Elder Mo Hong’s face instantly flushed red.

“This fellow… is he still human?”

Mo Hong’s heart instantly received critical damage.

At the same time.

The door of the secret chamber, which had been tightly closed, finally opened with a creak.

Zhang Lingren, who had been in seclusion for half a month, finally came out.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Victor’s eyes suddenly opened.

He really wanted to know the progress of Zhang Lingren’s seclusion this time.

Bang!

The thick door was pushed open by a huge force.

When the secret chamber opened, there was only a futon for meditation in the middle of the chamber. There was nothing else.

Scattered light passed through the holes in the roof and refracted into the room.

Accompanied by the bright light outside, Zhang Lingren slowly walked out of the secret chamber.

Compared to half a month ago, Zhang Lingren looked a little tired now.

“Master.”

As soon as Zhang Lingren came out, Victor and Mo Hong immediately greeted him as disciples.

“Okay.”

Zhang Lingren nodded.

“Victor, come, tell me more about the spiritual energy of the universe…”

As soon as Zhang Lingren came out of seclusion, he looked at Victor and showed a thoughtful expression.

Even if Zhang Lingren didn’t say anything, Victor looked at his slightly anxious expression and he understood that the gains from Zhang Lingren’s seclusion this time were very small.

However, Victor could understand it very well.

After all, even if there was a cultivation technique, there might not have been any progress in half a month.

Moreover, Zhang Lingren was just crossing the river through feeling the way. Many unknown things had to be explored slowly by himself.

It would be abnormal if Zhang Lingren could make big progress by thinking alone for half a month with just a little mention of the energy.

“Sigh… I can only feel it now. I want to draw them into my body, but I can’t find any inspiration to do so.”

“Can’t draw them into the body?”

Hearing Zhang Lingren’s doubt, Victor seemed to have thought of something and kept pacing back and forth.

“Master, I was wondering if you know of a cultivation technique called the Asura technique.”

“Victor, how do you know about the Asura technique?”

Zhang Lingren was very surprised by this.

These rumors were only known to Zhang Lingren after he had read through many ancient books.

He did not expect Victor to have heard of the great Asura technique at such a young age.

“Master, I heard someone mention it when I was very young. The reason why I mentioned the great Asura technique is that the great Asura technique has a special characteristic. People who practice the great Asura technique can condense the Asura seed and use the Asura seed to devour the true qi in other people’s bodies.

“If we can find a similar cultivation method, then can we learn from the method?

“Although there may be some differences between devouring the true qi of others and absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy of the universe.

“However, the method should be similar.”

After listening to Victor’s analysis, Zhang Lingren’s eyes lit up.

However, he immediately shook his head helplessly.

The Asura technique had disappeared for hundreds of years. Where could he find it now?

“Master, I have an idea. Since others can create such a divine technique, why can’t we?

“Therefore, I think that we should first develop a technique to absorb other people’s inner qi.

“Then, we can use this as a starting point to study a technique that can absorb the spiritual energy of the universe.”

Victor’s words made Zhang Lingren nod his head repeatedly.

Although he had only spent a few days with Victor, just a few days of interaction had made Zhang Lingren feel that the young man in front of him had a profound vision.

During this period of time, they slowly got along.

Zhang Lingren felt that he wasn’t like a master, but more like a student who was humbly studying.

But Victor, was more like a teacher.
