JSCMU-Chapter 56: Manual Pavilion

Lin Ya only casted a simple concealment. Without careful investigation, one might not notice anything.

But now that Yun Jin is being thoroughly examined…

With Zhao Wuji’s cultivation, he reacted instantly.

His expression shifted rapidly, becoming as colourful as a dye shop.

This happened in just a few days?

This Yun Jin had already entered Foundation Establishment stage!

And her cultivation was extremely stable, without the slightest hint of being forcibly elevated through medicinal means!

How is this possible for a Five Element Root cultivator?!

Ye Danxia started cultivating at the same time, yet she only reached the second level of Qi Refining, and that was solely due to her exceptional Celestial Spiritual Root.

And Yun Jin?

While others barely broke through a minor level, she directly broke through a major realm!

Is that even reasonable?

“Sect Master, this token isn’t suitable for me, right?” Yun Jin said with a beaming smile.

Many onlookers’ expressions changed as they looked at Yun Jin.

Anyone here with a higher cultivation could easily uncover her true level with a careful probe.

Who wouldn’t be shaken by someone reaching Foundation Establishment in under ten days?

Just look at how happy Yun Jin was, and you can understand how flustered they felt.

Due to her lower cultivation, Ye Danxia was unaware of what had changed with Yun Jin; all she saw were the sudden shifts in everyone’s expressions.

She panicked.

What exactly happened?

A vague suspicion arose in Ye Danxia’s heart.

But she didn’t want to believe it.

With a legendary Celestial Spiritual Root, regardless of what heavenly treasures Yun Jin may have used in secret, it is unthinkable that she would fall so far behind. Absolutely impossible!

“Xiao Jin, you shouldn’t be so willful,” Ye Danxia stared hard at Yun Jin.

Yun Jin must be growing overconfidant, it’s impossible for her to have reached Foundation Establishment.

Yun Jin blinked. Suddenly, she unleashed her full strength, releasing all of her Foundation Establishment spiritual power.

Ye Danxia, who was closest to her, was shaken and stumbled backward, falling to the ground.

Ye Danxia looked at Yun Jin in disbelief.

That overwhelming pressure…

“Danxia, I’m so sorry, I couldn’t hold back for a moment, did I scare you?” Yun Jin gently helped her up. “Apologies, I just entered Foundation Establishment and haven’t mastered controlling my power yet.”

“If you’re upset, Danxia, once you reach Foundation Establishment, you can intimidate me back.”

As she spoke, Yun Jin suddenly looked troubled. “But Danxia, your progress is far too slow. By the time you reach Foundation Establishment, I may already be at Golden Core or Nascent Soul Stage.”

Yun Jin looked at her with great sincerity. “We’re good sisters, such a big difference in cultivation isn’t appropriate! Maybe the Sect Master isn’t very good at teaching? How about this, you and your second senior brother both become my servants, and I’ll have my master guide you. Maybe your cultivation will catch up to mine.”

Yun Jin’s words were cheap and wicked.

The disciples of Tianxing Sect were already used to Yun Jin’s sarcastic tone. Seeing Ye Danxia’s expression, many even felt a bit of sympathy.

Having such a “good sister” must be Ye Danxia’s great fortune.

Ye Danxia’s lips trembled with anger. She couldn’t help but cast a pleading look at Zhao Wuji.

But Zhao Wuji’s expression wasn’t much better. He said coldly, “Yun Jin has indeed reached Foundation Establishment.”

The moment those words were spoken.

The verdict was final.

Everyone’s gazes toward Yun Jin immediately changed.

Not even ten days!

Foundation Establishment!

Inhuman!

Yun Jin looked gratefully at Zhao Wuji.

See, see, see.

She knew Zhao Wuji was a good person!

As soon as he made the announcement, her Emotion Points started surging again.

Previously, her Emotion Points could be counted on one hand.

But now,

She, Yun Jin, was once again a rich woman!

“Since the Sect Master already confirmed it, let’s change the token,” Lin Ya said with some schadenfreude.

Zhao Wuji’s face darkened, and he ordered someone to fetch a new token.

When the green token arrived, this time, Yun Jin didn’t shout “wait” and the ceremony proceeded smoothly.

Completing the ceremony should have been a matter of course.

But Zhao Wuji, for some reason, felt as though he survived a heavenly tribulation.

Even if he was going through a heavenly tribulation, it might not be as exhausting as today!

Very soon,

The other disciples also received their identity tokens and spiritual tools according to their ranks.

Zhao Wuji said in a calm voice, “Qi Refining disciples have one chance to choose a Huang level technique from the sect. Foundation Establishment disciples have one chance to choose a Huang level cultivation method and one Huang level technique. I will now lead you to the Manual Pavilion. Cherish this free opportunity. If you wish to study more techniques in the future, you will need to exchange for them with sect contribution points. Contribution points are earned by completing sect tasks, which are difficult and not something you new disciples can easily handle.”

Yun Jin’s eyes lit up when she heard this.

Oh oh?

A free exchange opportunity?

“If any of you still have questions, you may ask them now,” Zhao Wuji paused, then reluctantly added.

This part was always included in every ceremony.

But this time… he truly didn’t want to say this line.

After all, there was a Yun Jin who often said surprising things.

Sure enough.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Jin eagerly said, “Sect Master, I have a question!”

Zhao Wuji: “… Ask.”

This time, Yun Jin had no intention of bantering, she had serious business to handle.

“Sect Master, now that I’m in the Foundation Establishment Stage, can I still claim the Qi Refining Stage’s free technique as well?”

Zhao Wuji was silent for a moment, then said, “Yes. You may receive one Huang level cultivation method and two Huang level techniques.”

Yun Jin asked again, “If I don’t need the Huang level cultivation method, can I exchange it for three Huang level techniques?”

Her Xuan Jue had already been upgraded to Foundation Establishment Stage and didn’t need another cultivation method.

Before Zhao Wuji could speak, Lin Ya grew anxious and quickly said, “Xuan Jue can only be used during the Qi Refining Stage. After reaching Foundation Establishment, you must change to a proper cultivation method.”

“I think Xuan Jue is pretty good,” Yun Jin said earnestly. “After all, it suits all elemental attributes, and I just happen to have Five Element Roots.”

“But…” Lin Ya was about to say more.

Zhao Wuji smiled and said, “Lin Ya, your disciple has always been opinionated. In this one’s view, let her be. Yun Jin, this matter is approved, you may choose three Huang level techniques.”

For once, Zhao Wuji finally felt a bit of satisfaction!

Don’t want to switch your cultivation method?

Very good.

He wanted to see just how far a disciple with the worst Five Element Root and the worst cultivation method could really go.

“Thank you, Sect Master,” Yun Jin’s thanks this time were quite heartfelt.

She planned to choose three Huang level sword techniques.

Very soon, she would meet the prerequisites for learning the Azure Lotus Sword Technique!

This time, Zhao Wuji had truly done her a great favor.

Zhao Wuji gave a faint smile. “The other disciples may leave. New disciples, follow me. I will take you to the Manual Pavilion to choose your techniques.”

Everyone acknowledged.

Yue Zhao and the others glanced at Yun Jin with a bit of concern but could only leave for now.

This trip to the Manual Pavilion included only Zhao Wuji, the ten peak masters, and these fifteen new disciples.
