In the blink of an eye.
Three months had passed just like that.
In the early morning, a flurry of chattering sounds came from the path leading to the back mountain.
"Ji Changfeng, what's your cultivation level now?"
"Guess."
"Bold! You should call me Senior Sister!"
"Mm-hmm, Senior Sister, guess?"
"Aaaah! Ji Changfeng, you're so annoying!"
Tian Ling'er was holding a cleaver, stomping her foot angrily while glaring at Ji Changfeng.
Zhang Xiaofan, standing nearby, wore a simple, honest smile on his face.
Sister is so cute.
Ji Changfeng chuckled and said, "You really want to know?"
"Mhm!" Tian Ling'er nodded eagerly, her eyes shining.
Ji Changfeng's cultivation history within the Qingyun Sect was practically a legend. He had reached the first level of the Jade Pure Realm overnight, and within half a month, he'd advanced to the second level...
Now, three months had passed.
No one knew what level of cultivation Ji Changfeng had reached.
Even Tian Buyi and his wife didn't know.
This matter had the entire Qingyun Sect buzzing with curiosity.
It was almost the hottest topic of discussion throughout the entire sect…
When Tian Ling'er had accompanied Su Ru to Little Bamboo Peak the last time, many of the senior sisters had pulled her aside to ask about this very thing.
They said that Ji Changfeng would be their Sister Lu's strongest rival in the future and that they absolutely had to gather information…
Thus, the senior sisters of Little Bamboo Peak had entrusted this task to Tian Ling'er.
Tian Ling'er had also met the 'Sister Lu' they spoke of. She was a very aloof senior sister, probably only a little older than her…
Sister Lu always held a cerulean divine sword. It was said to be the legendary Nine Heavens Divine Weapon, Tianya Sword?!
Lu Xueqi wasn't interested in anything else.
Her daily routine consisted of practicing her sword and cultivating.
But there were exceptions.
For example, every time Tian Ling'er went to Little Bamboo Peak, she would stand to the side and quietly listen to a group of senior sisters pestering Tian Ling'er for information about Ji Changfeng…
According to the senior sisters, and also their master, Water Moon.
That Ji Changfeng would definitely be her strong opponent in the future.
Therefore.
While Lu Xueqi felt unwilling in her heart.
She also developed a slight interest in Ji Changfeng.
Of course.
Ji Changfeng wasn't aware of this.
"It's not impossible to tell Sister, but you have to promise me something," Ji Changfeng said with a smile.
"What is it?" Little Ling'er blinked her eyes.
She looked at Ji Changfeng with anticipation.
She was waiting to find out his exact cultivation level from Ji Changfeng, so she could show off the next time she went to Little Bamboo Peak.
After all, she was still a little girl.
Being pampered and praised by a group of senior sisters meant she wouldn't worry about anything.
Just wanting to show off.
"Go ask my shiniang for me, see if she'll let me tag along next time we go to Little Bamboo Peak?"
Ji Changfeng said with a mysterious air.
"Huh?!"
"You want to go to Little Bamboo Peak too?"
Tian Ling'er's eyes widened.
Although she was young…
She still understood one thing.
That is—Little Bamboo Peak forbids all men from entering!
"That's right." Ji Changfeng nodded.
Anyway, Tian Linger was just a little girl, what did she know?
Ji Changfeng coaxed, "I just want to go to Little Bamboo Peak to see Moon Gazing Terrace, one of the seven scenic spots of Qingyun. Can you help me ask your master if she can take me along?"
"As long as you agree to this condition."
"Then I'll tell you about my cultivation."
Going to see Moon Gazing Terrace was the truth.
But…
Going to see Moon Gazing Terrace was not Ji Changfeng's main reason for wanting to go to Little Bamboo Peak.
Not quite.
That's not the right way to put it.
He just wanted to go to Moon Gazing Terrace, and then, incidentally, take a look at the person on Moon Gazing Terrace…
Yes! That's right!
That's it!
The main thing was to see the scenery; everything else was secondary.
Tian Ling'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I can ask my mother for you, but I don't know if she'll agree in the end."
"It's fine, as long as you ask," Ji Changfeng said casually.
Go if you want.
If you don't want to go, then don't.
He was just a little curious.
"Alright!"
"Then tell me quickly, what level are you at now?"
Tian Ling'er blinked.
Zhang Xiaofan, who was beside her, was also a little curious.
Ji Changfeng smiled faintly. He didn't continue to play coy and said directly, "Jade Pure Realm, Level Four!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
To prevent Tian Ling'er from doubting him, Ji Changfeng specifically used his signature skill at the fourth level of the Jade Pure Realm – Object Manipulation!
"Whoosh!"
A formless force slowly lifted the firewood knife in Ji Changfeng's hand, causing it to dance in the air.
"Ah?!"
Tian Ling'er's eyes widened.
Fourth level of the Jade Pure Realm?
He was already at the fourth level?
Considering the time, Ji Changfeng had been cultivating for less than half a year, right?
Four months and he's already at the Jade Pure Realm, level four?
This...
Is this for real?
Tian Ling'er wanted to question it.
But after seeing the signature skill of the Jade Pure Realm, level four...
She shut her mouth.
Object Manipulation!
This was definitely Jade Pure Realm, level four!
Tian Ling'er opened her mouth wide, looking completely dumbfounded.
Zhang Xiaofan, who was standing to the side, was the same.
He was stunned after seeing Ji Changfeng use Object Manipulation...
They had entered Big Bamboo Peak at the same time, but Ji Changfeng was already at the fourth level of the Jade Pure Realm, while he hadn't even reached the first.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan felt a little dejected.
But that was all.
He didn't feel any jealousy.
He only felt that he was a bit too slow.
"Senior Sister, Xiaofan, you two mustn't casually spread the news about my breakthrough to the fourth level of the Jade Pure Realm, okay?"
Ji Changfeng said with a smile.
He was just joking, of course. After all, he had already guessed why Tian Ling'er was so keen on asking about his cultivation.
It was nothing more than to show off.
He said that just to tease Tian Ling'er.
But who would have thought…
After hearing Ji Changfeng's words, Zhang Xiaofan's expression became unusually resolute as he said:
"Seventh Senior Brother, don't worry!"
"I definitely won't tell anyone!"
He wouldn't say a word, even if he died.
Hearing this, Ji Changfeng was stunned.
This is Zhang Xiaofan.
Isn't it? Even in death, he would keep secrets for others.
"Clack—"
At that moment, a pebble suddenly flew over from not far away, and, quite by chance, struck Tian Linger and Zhang Xiaofan.
"Who is it?!"
Tian Linger glared in that direction.
Looking over,
They saw a little monkey holding a pile of small stones, its bright eyes playfully watching them.
That little monkey's eyes were exceptionally lively, and there was a third eye on its brow, though it was only faintly visible, not yet open...
It was still in a closed state.
"Huh?" Ji Changfeng was a little surprised.
Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, Little Grey?
He actually encountered it here?
"You stinky monkey! Don't run!"
Tian Ling'er chased after Little Grey, somewhat angrily.
Zhang Xiaofan was also a little annoyed.
It's fine if I'm slow, but...
But it wasn't a monkey they could just bully!
"Sister, wait for me!"
The two of them chased after Little Grey together.
Seeing this, Ji Changfeng followed leisurely behind.
He already had a good idea of what was going to happen.
As expected.
When Ji Changfeng caught up with Tian Ling'er and the others, they had already reached the depths of the bamboo forest.
A chilling aura permeated the area.
At the same time, a wisp of ghostly aura was faintly discernible…
"Damn it! Where did that stinky monkey run off to?"
Tian Ling'er said angrily, hands on her hips.
"Plop—"
Right then, another small stone came flying over.
"Heh heh heh heh!"
Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, Little Grey, hid behind a large tree, making a grimacing face at Tian Ling'er and the others.
"Stinky monkey! You stop right there!"
Tian Ling'er bristled inwardly.
She continued deeper inside.
"Sister, wait for me!" Zhang Xiaofan followed closely behind.
But it wasn't long before.
They arrived at a secluded pool.
"Whoosh——"
As they approached the pool, an invisible, ghostly energy washed over them, causing Tian Ling'er to feel a wave of dizziness…
"What… what's going on?!"
Tian Ling'er had just realized something was wrong when she collapsed beside the pool.
Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, Little Grey, had also passed out not far away.
"Senior Sister!" Zhang Xiaofan was shocked.
Panicked and disoriented, he didn't feel anything amiss and plunged directly into the water...
"Boom!"
The next moment, dizziness washed over him.
Zhang Xiaofan fell to the ground, his arm scratched by a branch.
"Da--"
A crimson blood bead fell from his embrace.
It rolled to his arm.
"Sizzle!"
Instantly, the Bloodthirsty Bead, upon contact with blood, broke its seal and erupted with a surge of intense blood Qi.
Seeing this.
Ji Changfeng, without changing his expression, used his mental power to move Tian Ling'er out of the water pool's range, and then moved the Three-Eyed Spirit Monkey, Little Grey, out as well.
After doing all this.
He simply watched as Zhang Xiaofan 'coincidentally' refined a blood-refining magic weapon.
Boom!!
The Bloodthirsty Bead erupted with a powerful surge of blood qi.
In an instant.
The Soul-Devouring Rod at the bottom of the water pool was immediately startled.
The two top-tier magic treasures collided on the spot.
The Bloodthirsty Bead continuously absorbed Zhang Xiaofan's blood, forcibly suppressing the Soul-Devouring Rod.
But suddenly, the Soul-Devouring Rod burst forth with astonishing ghostly energy, directly suppressing the Bloodthirsty Bead in return…
"Hiss～"
Two top-tier magic treasures were constantly merging.
Finally.
A Soul-Devouring Rod, even more powerful than the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon, was born!! [You observed the fusion of two top-tier, malevolent magic treasures and understood the immense harm that baleful and malevolent energy inflicts upon the human body. You have created a cultivation technique capable of eliminating baleful and malevolent energy—the Ice Heart Technique!]
A voice from the depths of the universe echoed in Ji Changfeng's mind.
The next moment.
A mystical and profound state descended upon Ji Changfeng.
Enlightenment!
Another enlightenment!
