Jiang Ding lectured slowly on the platform.
Surrounding foundation-building cultivators of Xianmen Sect listened intently, occasionally casting a magical question mark above their heads, signifying they had a question.
"...with Sword Slashing Heart Demon, you can."
As Jiang Ding concluded his lecture, he looked towards the one whose question mark appeared first—a middle-aged cultivator with a crew cut, dark skin, a tough demeanor, and a hint of battlefield ferocity, the typical military temperament.
He must have recently retired from active duty, wandering between Xianmen Sect and small worlds, searching for his path to Foundation Establishment.
This was quite common; most cultivators in military service would undergo such a phase in their journey.
"I have seen Elder Jiang."
The middle-aged cultivator brightened, stood up, and bowed respectfully.
This was the customary etiquette.
