I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World

Chapter 73: Chapter 63: Inner Sect Disciple

”I have a phalaenopsis in my medicine garden with curled leaves. Would you mind giving me that Wood Essence?”

Wenn Ci stood at the edge of the plaza, his wooden staff touching the ground, as a profound and grand force spread out, where Jade Sand melted and transformed back into solid ground.

”Greetings, Sect Master.”

The cultivators all descended from the rooftops, bowing deeply in respect.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuebai also hastily folded her hands and bent forward, ”Servant Jiang Yuebai pays respect to the Sect Master.”

Wenn Ci walked slowly to Jiang Yuebai’s side, teasingly saying, ”Servants are supposed to perform a kneeling salute.”

A sudden tightness gripped Jiang Yuebai’s heart as she immediately lifted her skirt and knelt.

Her arm was lifted in mid-air, and Wenn Ci spoke gently with a smile, ”I was referring to servants. As an Inner Sect Disciple, you need not kneel. This outfit looks very nice; it’s even more fitting for a young lady than the white robes of the Inner Sect.”

Jiang Yuebai looked up in bewilderment, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Lii Jiuchuan, standing by, smiled and said, ”Aren’t you going to thank the Sect Master yet?”

”But, but I was only here for the Spiritual Cultivation Master examination. Passing means I’m equivalent to an Outer Sect Disciple, doesn’t it?”

Jiang Yuebai was apprehensive; she had only come to acquire the status of an Outer Sect Disciple. Now, suddenly becoming an Inner Sect Disciple, she feared what price she might have to pay.

”There’s no need for heavy thoughts at such a young age. Five years ago at Yinfeng Creek, I took notice of you. I’ve also heard of your experiences over these years. Among the batch of children who joined the sect the same year, only Lu Nanzhi, Xie Jingshan, Shen Huaxi, and Song Zhi’ang have reached the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer after five years in the sect.”

”Moreover, with your Five Spirit Roots aptitude, at the Yin Mountain Mine, you diligently progressed. Your cultivation level is on par with those four, and you even advanced your Spiritual Cultivation Magical Technique to the Fifth Layer. Such accomplishments are worthy of being an Inner Sect Disciple.”

Feeling acknowledged, Jiang Yuebai couldn’t help but be joyous in her heart.

”Yuebai thanks the Sect Master for the praise. I am aware of my shortcomings, and I will certainly strive harder in the future.”

Jiang Yuebai’s eyes held unspoken joy, and Lii Jiuchuan gave a slight nod, showing affirmation and celebration.

Standing at the back of the group, Hong Tao was overwhelmed with emotion. He never imagined Jiang Yuebai would leap from being a servant to an Inner Sect Disciple so suddenly; he couldn’t help but envy, wondering when he would step into the Inner Sect and become a true elite of the Heavenly Interence Sect.

Previously, Jiang Yuebai relied on him, but from today onwards, it would be him depending on Jiang Yuebai.

The cultivators from the Ten Thousand Laws Hall watched as the little servant soared high, and none underestimated her. Remembering the recent display of three spells’ grandeur, their hearts were filled with admiration.

No matter the spell, even the lowest level, reaching the Five-Layer Peak requires more than just perseverance; it demands comprehension.

The threshold of comprehension is elusive; some grasp it in a moment, while others spend a lifetime unable to cross it.

Considering the past Spiritual Cultivation Masters of the Heavenly Interence Sect, Jiang Yuebai is the first to advance the Spiritual Cultivation Magical Technique to the Fifth Layer, and she’s still so young, with immense potential.

Seeing this, Li Xuanji stepped forward and said, ”Sect Master, Nephew Jiang’s examination was conducted by me today, and we share a connection. Could the Sect Master permit her to join me in the Ten Thousand Laws Hall to delve into the Five Elements Magical Techniques? Her comprehension in this area is extraordinary; it would not do to let her be delayed outside.”

Wenn Ci looked at Jiang Yuebai, ”Girl, are you willing?”

Jiang Yuebai nodded and replied, ”Of course I’m willing, but I wish to study Array Dao first.”

Li Xuanji was about to smile, but his expression froze awkwardly.

”You have already reached the Fifth Layer in Five Elements Magical Techniques, about to touch the true Heaven and Earth Divine Power. Why not forge ahead to study its variations, merge new spells, and yet want to learn Array Dao? What’s the future in Array Dao?”

”Eh, eh, eh? Junior Brother Li, I don’t like what you’re saying. What’s this about our Array Dao having no future? The little junior wants to learn Array Dao, and she can freely learn at our Array Institute.”

As the two were about to argue, Wenn Ci raised a hand, and they grudgingly fell silent.

Wenn Ci asked Jiang Yuebai, ”You said just now... study first?”

Jiang Yuebai never concealed her ambition regarding the quest for knowledge.

”Yes, the Great Dao is vast and diverse; I wish to explore them all.”

Wenn Ci turned to Lii Jiuchuan, ”I recall you saying similar words to me back then.”

Lii Jiuchuan chuckled, ”Youthful folly, causing the Sect Master amusement.”

Wenn Ci turned back to Jiang Yuebai, ”See? Even he says it’s youthful folly. It’s impossible to view all the three thousand Great Dao. Do you still wish to see?”

Without any hesitation, Jiang Yuebai nodded, ”I wish to see; only by experiencing them can one truly know how ignorant one is, to ensure not to remain ignorant.”

”If you wish to see, I propose a deal with you. If you can rank in the top three in the sect-wide competition in half a year, I will permit you to study at Ten Thousand Laws Hall. Regardless of the institute, as long as you pass twelve assessments, you are free to learn as you please. However, if you fail, expect severe penalties from me!”
