Changing Direction with the Wind

Six elders gathered together, each person's face showing some concern.

Qian Dahai, with the lowest realm among the six, sighed and said, "What should we do? That Ning Lang broke through from the Foundation Realm to the Crystallization Realm in just one night. Now his strength is only inferior to Brother Qiu and Brother Li. If he gains power in the future, judging by his performance last night, we might not have an easy time."

Zhao Jian clenched his fists, his eyes full of unwillingness. "Why him? Why Ning Lang!"

Li Hongri disdainfully said, "What's the panic for? Even if Ning Lang caused a big disturbance last night, he is currently only at the Crystallization Realm. Do you think he's planning a rebellion now?"

"But he's only twenty-seven years old..."

After saying this, the room fell into silence for a long time.

Indeed...

A twenty-seven-year-old Crystallization Realm cultivator...

No matter where you put it, it is an existence to be looked up to...

"Sigh." Gao Qianshou sighed, shook his head, and said, "I'll have my disciple send him a few bottles of elixirs to apologize. We'll just patch up the window paper that has been poked through. Ning Lang shouldn't make things irreparable in the future."

Zhao Jian's face turned green and said, "Do you think that Ning Lang will appreciate your gesture?"

Gao Qianshou retorted, "Then what do you suggest?"

Qiu Yunze asked coldly, "In the past few years, Ning Lang hasn't practiced properly. Aren't you curious about how he managed to break through six small realms in such a short time?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other five people turned their gaze to Qiu Yunze.

Qiu Yunze continued, "I just suspect..."

"Suspect what?" Zhao Jian asked excitedly.

"I just suspect that Ning Lang might have received the inheritance of some big shot. Otherwise, who else can break through six small realms except for someone who has experienced reincarnation?"

Li Hongri stared and said, "You mean the inheritance of an expert?"

"That's right."

Some people on the verge of death sometimes, for the sake of protecting their descendants, would pass on their cultivation to the younger generation before dying.

However, even if the realm is high, the recipient can only withstand a very small part of the cultivation. This practice also brings future issues.

The recipient's realm becomes unstable. After all, the cultivation is not their own, and they may not be able to defeat anyone at the same realm. In the future, cultivation will be extremely difficult.

The person might also directly explode and die.

After listening to Qiu Yunze's speculation, the room fell silent again.

Considering the current situation, Ning Lang's performance does seem like he received some kind of cultivation inheritance.

But... no one dared to be sure.

Qian Dahai shook his head, "I still don't quite believe it. This isn't the first time that Ning Lang has encountered such a situation. The first time, he directly broke through from the Mortal Realm to the Foundation Realm. That couldn't have been a cultivation inheritance because the Mortal Realm hasn't opened the meridians yet."

"Right, that doesn't make sense."

Qiu Yunze sighed, "So I only suspect. In this vast world, there are all kinds of wonders. I didn't sleep all night, searched through hundreds of ancient books, and still couldn't find the answer. But even so, I don't believe that Ning Lang cultivated his current realm by himself."

"So, what does Brother Qiu plan to do?"

Qiu Yunze squinted his eyes and said, "Currently, we can only observe quietly."

After a moment of silence, Qiu Yunze continued, "Those of you who want to apologize to him, just go and do it. But also, inquire about his true and false..."

"Sigh."

Another long sigh echoed in the room.

...

At dusk.

Two disciples, Su Xuan and Chen Siyuan, disciples personally trained by the Fourth Elder Gao Qianshou, walked worriedly towards the Miao Peak.

Chen Siyuan followed behind Su Xuan and whispered, "Senior Brother, do you think Seventh Elder will appreciate Master's gesture?"

"This matter is not something we should worry about. We just need to do what we should."

"Five Pill Refining Pills, five Ling Rejuvenation Pills, and five Qi Spirit Pills. Master has spent a lot this time. I hope Seventh Elder won't make things too ugly."

Su Xuan sighed subtly without showing it on his face and instructed, "Follow my lead when we get there."

"Okay."

The two arrived at the Miao Peak. There was no one outside.

Su Xuan and Chen Siyuan walked to several bamboo houses. Su Xuan, with respect, clasped his hands and said, "Disciple Su Xuan and Chen Siyuan is here on behalf of Fourth Elder to deliver some elixirs. I hope Seventh Elder can accept them."

A voice came from inside the house.

"Are you playing this again? Your Master is quite good at 'changing direction with the wind.'"

Su Xuan and Chen Siyuan dared not breathe loudly.

In the past, they would not have even considered Ning Lang. But now...

"Leave. I don't have time to entertain you."

Chen Siyuan's face darkened as if he had anticipated such a result.

Su Xuan whispered, "Let's go back."

Chen Siyuan nodded. After the two of them bowed again in front of the bamboo house, they turned and walked toward the mountain road.

Just as they had taken a few steps.

A voice came from inside the house again, "Leave the elixirs."

Su Xuan paused his steps, hurriedly turned around, and nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

He placed the three bottles of elixirs outside the bamboo house, and quickly left.

"Senior Brother, does this mean that Seventh Elder is reconciling with Master?"

"It's not that simple."

"Then why are you so happy?"

"At least we delivered the elixirs, which is the first step."

Chen Siyuan half-understood, following Su Xuan to leave the Miao Peak hurriedly.

"Jiang Chen, take the elixirs to him."

"Yes~"

Jiang Chen pushed the door open and placed the three bottles of elixirs in front of Jiang Keran. Just as he was about to leave.

"Wait." Jiang Keran suddenly said, "Are these all for me?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

Jiang Keran hurriedly asked, "Why?"

Jiang Chen smiled on his face, "You recover from your injuries, and go ask Master yourself."

After speaking, Jiang Chen left.

Jiang Keran frowned and twisted his eyebrows into a "川" character. The mysteries in his heart grew deeper.

...

Fifty miles from Mount Taihua.

Three black-clothed men came from different directions and finally met under an old locust tree.

If you looked closely, you would find that except for one old man with straight eyebrows, the other two looked almost identical!

"How is it? Did you find anything?"

"No."

"I didn't find anything either."

The old man with straight eyebrows folded his hands behind his back, looked around, and finally set his gaze on the direction of Mount Taihua.

"He has exhausted his spiritual energy and can't run far. Now, the only place we haven't been to is that location."

"What is there?"

"Mount Taihua."

"Is the Haohui Sect up there?"

"Yes."

"If we go rashly, will it..."

The old man with straight eyebrows sneered, "We are capturing rebels according to the king's orders. Will the Haohui Sect obstruct us?"

"Your words make sense."

"We have been away from the capital for several days. It is better to investigate this matter early. Let's go now."

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, the three shadows disappeared from the spot, flying towards the direction of Mount Taihua.
