Chapter 20: Did You Hide Just a Little Bit, or a Billion Bits?

Zhong Qing could only evade like this. But Xuan Yuanhong's face turned green upon hearing this, and he fiercely elbowed Zhong Qing, saying irritably, "You call this hiding just a little bit of cultivation?"

"Are you sure it's just a little bit, and not a billion bits?"

Zhong Qing couldn't help but touch his nose again.

He couldn't possibly tell the truth that he had only recently advanced, so he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Alright, Master, the Red-Haired Ghost is dead, and there's this mess to clean up. You should hurry up and take care of it."

Indeed, after the Red-Haired Ghost's strike followed by Zhong Qing's gesture, the main peak of Xianjiang was already in ruins. There were indeed many messes to clean up.

So Xuan Yuanhong had to take his people to clean up the mess and treat some injured disciples.

After helping to treat some of the injured disciples, Zhong Qing also returned to the Mu Fu Peak.

Half a day later, with the mess cleaned up, Xuan Yuanhong sat at the head seat, looking radiant. And below, the other elders and peak masters also sat down together.

Without exception, everyone's faces still showed traces of excitement.

Even the unparalleled expert Red-Haired Ghost of the Moon Profound Realm had been crushed by Zhong Qing's finger on their Xianjiang Sect, and thinking back on it now still felt like a dream.

"Hahaha..."

Suddenly, Xuan Yuanhong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The others also couldn't hide their smiles.

Why was their Xianjiang Sect only a second-rate power in the Eastern Domain? Wasn't it because their sect didn't have anyone in the Moon Profound Realm?

But now, with Zhong Qing, their Xianjiang Sect could easily become a first-rate power.

"Everyone, let me discuss something with you." At this moment, Xuan Yuanhong spoke again, "As you all know, the former sect master obtained a one-time talisman in the secret realm."

"In that talisman is recorded a king-grade cultivation technique."

"But because it's a one-time talisman, it will self-destruct once opened. So the sect unanimously decided that when a true genius disciple appeared in our sect, this king-grade cultivation technique would be given to him."

"Now that this genius disciple has appeared, I have decided to immediately give this king-grade cultivation technique to Zhong Qing. Does anyone have any objections?"

Standing at the head, Xuan Yuanhong looked at everyone and spoke.

"I agree with the sect master's decision."

"Indeed, I agree too."

"Zhong Qing, at such a young age, was able to defeat the Red-Haired Ghost. If this king-grade cultivation technique is given to him, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. So no one is more suitable for this king-grade cultivation technique than Zhong Qing."

For a moment, everyone present expressed their opinions.

There wasn't a single dissenting voice.

"Good." Xuan Yuanhong nodded with satisfaction. Then he said, "I'll go to the Mu Fu Peak later and give this king-grade cultivation technique to Zhong Qing..."

Meanwhile, at the Mu Fu Peak.

Joy filled the air.

"Master, master, I've broken through to the Chen Profound Realm." Lin Feng shared this good news with Zhong Qing, his face filled with joy.

Watching Lin Feng's excited face, although Zhong Qing had known about it for a long time, he still smiled happily for him. Because when Lin Feng broke through to the Chen Profound Realm, he also advanced to the middle stage of the Moon Profound Realm.

"Disciple, well done, keep up the good work." Zhong Qing patted his head and encouraged him.

"Yes, master."

"Disciple here thanks master again for his reclamation." Lin Feng was so happy that tears flowed, and he knelt respectfully on the ground.

In just over a month, he had advanced from scratch to the Chen Profound Realm. Now, thinking back on it, it still felt like a dream.

In the past, he didn't even dare to dream such dreams.

And the sword spirit in the Broken Sword was also on the verge of tears, genuinely happy for Lin Feng from the bottom of its heart. If it weren't for taking Zhong Qing as his master, no one knew what Lin Feng would be like now.

On the other side, Su Ye also brought good news, directly breaking through the Innate Realm.

While the master and disciples were immersed in the joy of breakthroughs, a stream of light appeared from the distant sky.

Zhong Qing looked up and saw that it was Xuan Yuanhong, who had come after the sect meeting.

"Greetings, Master."

Zhong Qing stood up and respectfully saluted from afar.

And Lin Feng, who was behind him, also bowed respectfully.

"It's been a long time since I came to the Mu Fu Peak."

Xuan Yuanhong looked around in surprise, unable to help but exclaim, "Why is the spiritual energy here so abundant, even more so than the spiritual energy of my Xianjiang Main Peak?"

"Maybe because there are fewer disciples here, so the absorption is less, and over time, more accumulates." Zhong Qing smiled.

"Is that so?" Xuan Yuanhong blinked his eyes, feeling that the abundant spiritual energy was not just that simple.

But remembering the more important reason for his visit this time, Xuan Yuanhong didn't think much about it and followed Zhong Qing into the courtyard.

Since spring had returned to the earth, the stove had been put back in the warehouse by Zhong Qing, and bamboo tables and chairs had taken its place.

"Master, please sit." Zhong Qing smiled.

"Alright." Xuan Yuanhong didn't stand on ceremony and sat down beside him. Then, he mysteriously rotated his storage ring. "Ahem, ahem, ahem."

He coughed a few times with a smile on his face, then said leisurely, "Zhong Qing, I came this time to bring you some great news."

"Oh?" Zhong Qing was making tea and his movements paused involuntarily.

Obviously, he was also intrigued by Xuan Yuanhong's words.

"Hehehe, guess what the benefit is?" Xuan Yuanhong couldn't help but tease Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing shook his head.

"It's like this." Xuan Yuanhong leaned in close to Zhong Qing and whispered, "A hundred years ago, the previous sect master led several elders to break into a secret realm, paying a heavy price, and obtained something from inside."

"Because this thing is one-time, the sect decided unanimously that when a genius disciple appeared in the future, this great benefit would be given to him."

"But geniuses don't come easy, so we've been waiting for more than a hundred years."

"And now, our Xianjiang Sect has produced you, and you are the chosen one to receive this great opportunity." Xuan Yuanhong said solemnly.

Hearing Xuan Yuanhong say this, Zhong Qing's curiosity was also aroused.

"Master, may I ask what the benefit is?" Zhong Qing asked curiously.

X

uan Yuanhong smirked mysteriously, and with a flick of his storage ring, he took out a talisman emitting an ancient aura.

"It's this talisman. Inside it is recorded a king-grade cultivation technique."

"Haha, how about that, excited? A king-grade cultivation technique! Such a level of technique is not something ordinary sacred places in the Eastern Domain possess."

"And although your talent is extraordinary, you must still lack a set of techniques to match it. But now, with this king-grade technique, it will truly be like adding wings to a tiger for you!"

"So, is the gift of this technique today like adding charcoal in snow for you?"
