Break Through

She was unimaginably beautiful. Well, beautiful wasn't the right word. She was still very young. Cute would be a better word to describe her. However, one thing was sure. When she grows older, there will be a sea of people behind her trying to woo her.

Ma Long felt like he was seeing an Angel. He forgot about his task completely. It was because he had fallen in love at first sight with the angel.

Ma Long started following Yin Xiu. Yin Xiu was going to the Treasury to collect her resources. She was going to get some more Qi-gathering pills that would be helpful after she reached the Spirit Warrior realm.

By the time she had gone to the treasury and came back to the mountain, there were already a hundred who had noticed how beautiful Yin Xiu was and started following her.

Since Yin Xiu was a new disciple and she had only come out of her mountain once for the New Disciples Competition, no one actually knew about her. Else she would have a fan following already.

For a male to have a fan following in the Sect, he would have to be very powerful. There were rankings in the Sect for Inner and Core Disciples for this reason. Since Yin Xiu was a personal disciple, she wasn't part of these rankings. For a female to have a ranking, she only needed to be pretty. Talent was simply a bonus.

Yin Xiu hadn't noticed the people behind her as she was more excited about her breakthrough. She had recently reached the cusp of the breakthrough. She only needed to sit down for a few more hours.

Her master suggested that she get her resources so that she could use them to stabilize her state and breakthrough as she would be in a short state of enlightenment.

Yin Xiu entered the mountain and the horde behind her tried to follow her. However, they hit an invisible barrier and weren't able to go past it.

"Who's that idiot who is stopping me from seeing that fairy?!"

A random person shouted. That random person was blasted by a purple Qi that seemed to have emerged from nowhere. Seeing him, everyone chose to wisely leave, including Ma Long.

Ma Long went back to the 21st Mountain. He met his master immediately after going there.

"Are you done with your task Ma Long? The girl should be smitten by you right?"

Ma Long shook his head.

"No? Then that master of her must have stopped her from seeing you. He must have stopped the girl from going out of the mountain. Wait for her to come out and then try to meet her."

Ma Long wanted to smack his master.

"Master, that fairy came out. It's just that when she came out, there were so many people that were following her that I had no chance to meet her without attracting the ire of all the disciples there so I stayed quiet."

Du Han was confused.

"So many disciples? Why were they following her? Was she giving out free pills?"

"No Master. She was so beautiful that we all... I mean they all followed her."

"Beautiful? How come Zhang Bo didn't tell me this? I will ask him later. You continue your task if you want your reward."

Ma Long wanted to go to Zhang Bo and ask him if he was blind. Who wouldn't find that fairy beautiful?

It's just that Ma Long didn't know that Zhang Bo saw beauty in a different way. Zhang Bo would prefer Ma Long than Yin Xiu.

Meanwhile, Yin Xiu was preparing to break through to the Spirit Warrior realm under the supervision of her Master. Chen Jiang was there in case something went wrong. There was a very, very small chance that that would happen though since the breakthrough was only from Spirit Apprentice to the Spirit Warrior realm.

Yin Xiu had already sensed the Ice Elements and was absorbing them into her body. Once they reached her dantian for the first time, the next time would become incredibly easy.

Yin Xiu slowly guided the ice elements around her body. The first cycle that the Ice Qi followed was the most important as the next cycles would copy that.

The Ice Qi passed the whole body. She was using a Qi circulation method her master had given her. It had enclosed all the points in the body. The Qi slowly came to the Dantian.

The Dantian did not give any opposition and the Ice Qi entered it.

Chen Jiang saw all this and smiled.

Yin Xiu had become a Spirit Warrior.
