"Junior Brother Shen, congratulations!"
Yang Xue approached and congratulated Shen Long.
Zhao Lei came over and enthusiastically said, "Junior Brother Shen, I'm hosting a banquet tonight and inviting several fellow sect members. If you're free, come over and have a drink."
Shen Long had cultivated more than a dozen spells to Great Perfection, a testament to his strength. On top of that, he was an Alchemist, and his future was boundless. This made Zhao Lei and Yang Xue keen on befriending him.
Before this, they hadn't taken Shen Long seriously, mainly because they didn't know his true strength.
This Xuanyang Ceremony displayed Shen Long's exceedingly remarkable performance. With his Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivation, he ranked third. In the history of the Ceremony being held, even the weakest in the top five would at least have Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivation.
