Grand Ancestor Canshang sighed and began to lift the barrier.
Meng Yifei had always been very discreet; he wouldn't disturb them easily unless there was a truly important matter.
As for Lin Qingling...
Her disciple had indeed brought a lot of honor to the Sword Sect. This time, he would just have to tolerate it.
He would do it for the sect.
Grand Ancestor Canshang kept comforting himself, but when he actually saw Lin Qingling, the corner of his mouth still twitched unconsciously.
"Greetings, Grand Elder." Lin Qingling's eyes curved into a smile, looking surprisingly well-behaved and honest.
Grand Ancestor Canshang was stunned.
Oh? After a few years, Lin Qingling had actually become humble and polite?
He cleared his throat: "If there's anything, just say it."
Lin Qingling smiled and glanced at Meng Yifei: "Sect Leader, you tell him."
Meng Yifei didn't decline. He nodded, his facial muscles still trembling slightly from excessive excitement.
He knew.
Li Shuang was an unparalleled genius.
But.
Even the most unparalleled genius needed time to grow.
His original plan was to use the entire sect's resources to cultivate Li Shuang. At least for the next few centuries, the sect would nurture and protect Li Shuang.
Only after a few centuries, when Li Shuang had grown, could she give back to the sect.
But who would have thought?
There was no need to wait for centuries.
Li Shuang had actually created such an astonishing technique now!
If this cultivation method could truly be implemented throughout the sect.
Li Shuang's contribution to the Sword Sect would be immeasurable!
He still wanted to bestow favor upon Li Shuang, to make her feel more belonging to the sect.
Who would have thought?
The one truly receiving the favor was the Sword Sect itself!
"Grand Elder." Meng Yifei suppressed his excitement and said slowly, "Li Shuang, a disciple of the Sword Sect, has created a cultivation method. I specifically brought it here to ask the Elder to examine it."
Grand Ancestor Canshang was momentarily stunned, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
He knew Li Shuang.
He had actually remotely followed yesterday's competition.
Not just him.
Several other Grand Elders of the Sword Sect, and those old fogeys from the Overlord Blade Sect, had also been secretly observing.
Thinking of this, Grand Ancestor Canshang couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
The Overlord Blade Sect was truly becoming more and more excessive now.
Originally.
The strength of those old ancestors from the Overlord Blade Sect was completely crushed by them.
But after they obtained that Heaven-Slaying Blade, their strength advanced by leaps and bounds, subtly showing signs of suppressing them.
However, if it were a life-and-death battle, they wouldn't necessarily be afraid!
With the top combat powers of both sides mutually restraining each other, the exchange competition on the training ground gained an opportunity for fair combat.
At first.
When the Overlord Blade Sect had the upper hand, those old ancestors from the Overlord Blade Sect had even uttered sarcastic remarks.
Fortunately.
A Li Shuang emerged from the Sword Sect.
When Li Shuang, in her Golden Core stage, truly defeated a Soul Transformation cultivator, Grand Ancestor Canshang couldn't see the expressions of those from the Overlord Blade Sect in the void, but he could imagine how wonderfully expressive they must have been.
It was precisely because Li Shuang had brought him such immense honor that he met Lin Qingling without hesitation today.
But...
No matter how talented Li Shuang was, she was still in her growth stage.
Was a cultivation method created by a disciple worth bringing specifically to him?
Meng Yifei saw Grand Ancestor Canshang's confusion, and he was about to say something.
Lin Qingling suddenly chuckled: "Grand Elder. This disciple of mine is also creating a cultivation method for the first time, and it's inevitably full of flaws. I shamelessly asked Sect Leader Meng to bring me here. I heard that Grand Elder is immensely learned, the most knowledgeable person in the Sword Sect. Therefore, I want to ask Grand Elder to help Little Shuang perfect this cultivation method."
Meng Yifei immediately showed a strange expression.
Grand Ancestor Canshang didn't notice anything amiss. He stroked his beard, feeling even a little gratified.
After all these years, this girl Qingling had finally grown up.
Wasn't she much better at talking than before?
Grand Ancestor Canshang nodded and said gently, "Li Shuang's talent is astonishing. Since she has the heart to create a cultivation method, as elders, we shouldn't dampen her confidence. She has also made a considerable contribution to the sect this time, so I will personally guide her."
Lin Qingling chuckled: "Thank you, Grand Elder. So, you're sure you'll guide Little Shuang, right? With Grand Elder's ability, just a little effort, and this cultivation method will surely improve by several levels?"
Lin Qingling looked adoring, her eyes seemingly sparkling.
Grand Ancestor Canshang was praised by Lin Qingling like this for the first time, and the smile on his face deepened a few points.
He smiled: "Don't worry, even if it doesn't improve by several levels, it can certainly benefit your disciple greatly."
Grand Ancestor Canshang was filled with emotion.
Lin Qingling had also reined in her temper for the sake of getting him to guide Li Shuang.
Li Shuang was already a junior he favored, so he would give face to this girl Lin.
"Alright, alright, then I'll thank Grand Elder on behalf of my disciple." Lin Qingling then handed over the jade slip.
Grand Ancestor Canshang nodded and scanned the jade slip with his divine sense.
His expression was initially indifferent.
Later, his expression slowly became solemn.
Then, his eyebrows furrowed completely, and he couldn't help but gasp.
This cultivation method...
He had quickly tested it just now, and his insight was superior to Lin Qingling's, so he quickly realized.
This was actually a divine soul auxiliary method specifically for low-level disciples!
"This cultivation method... was created by Li Shuang?" Grand Ancestor Canshang suddenly looked up.
Lin Qingling blinked: "My disciple isn't very capable, and the cultivation method she created is also full of flaws. Grand Elder, please don't hold it against her, just quickly give some suggestions for improvement."
The corner of Grand Ancestor Canshang's mouth twitched slightly!
What did she mean, "not very capable"!
What did she mean, "full of flaws"!
This cultivation method, for him to guide?
If he had such ability, wouldn't the Sword Sect disciples have already been cultivating it en masse?!
"Grand Elder, why aren't you speaking? Could it be that you won't even give me this much face? Or do you think my disciple is too dull and not worth your guidance?" Lin Qingling said deliberately.
Grand Ancestor Canshang fell silent!
He only realized it now!
Lin Qingling hadn't changed her nature at all; she was waiting for him here!
But Grand Ancestor Canshang didn't have time to argue with Lin Qingling; he quickly looked at Meng Yifei.
Meng Yifei nodded gravely: "It was indeed created by Li Shuang! Grand Elder, this cultivation method has miraculous effects on disciples below the Soul Transformation stage! If this method can be promoted, the future of the Sword Sect is promising!"
"Now. Li Shuang has selflessly given such a cultivation method to the sect. This disciple's talent is extraordinary, and the future of our Sword Sect will likely rest on her. Li Shuang is selfless, but the Sword Sect cannot comfortably take things from its disciples."
Meng Yifei paused, then said in a low voice, "I want to request Grand Elder's approval to grant Li Shuang some special treatment! What do you think, Grand Elder?"
