At this moment,
Inside the martial hall, a group of elders remained silent, very quiet.
However, Yun Qingyao's face became unusually cold as she said, "Grand Elder, the news of Land Ren being a person of divine realization will surely spread to the major sects. How could you let my disciple go to the Ancient Emperor's Cave in TuoShe?"
"Not to mention the slim chance of Land Ren obtaining the inheritance of the Ancient Emperor of TuoShe, even if he were to obtain it, with the disciples of the major sects and those old immortals, would they let him come out alive?"
This was the first time she was angry and dissatisfied with the sect's decision.
Even the Grand Elder had not expected Yun Qingyao to be so angry. He chuckled dryly and said, "Elder Yun, Land Ren is a person of divine realization. If he can truly change his bloodline grade, his potential will become terrifying. Besides, Land Ren also wants to give it a try!"
"Give it a try?"
Yun Qingyao stood up abruptly, walked to the entrance of the martial hall, turned to look at a group of elders, and coldly said, "For you, Land Ren is just an outer disciple. His life and death have nothing to do with you. You only care about whether your sect can cultivate geniuses. But he is my disciple. Whether he is a genius or wasteful, I just hope he can live well!"
After speaking, Yun Qingyao left behind a group of elders with pale faces and walked away.
....
Qingyun Sect entrance area.
As Land Ren returned to his practice residence, Yun Qingyao followed closely behind.
Land Ren saw Yun Qingyao and hurriedly went to greet her, but he wasn't too nervous.
Before, he had thought that once his true strength was revealed,
How to explain to Yun Qingyao now that these elders all believe he is a person of divine realization, there is really no need to explain anything further.
Yun Qingyao pulled Land Ren into the living room, her face serious as she asked, "Land Ren, I am your master, are you going to listen to your master's words?"
"Yes!"
Land Ren nodded.
"You cannot go to the Ancient Emperor's Cave in TuoShe!"
Yun Qingyao advised.
Land Ren asked in confusion, "Why can't I go?"
Yun Qingyao said, "You are a person of divine realization. Not only the three major sects, but also some other sects will not let you obtain the Ancient Emperor of TuoShe's inheritance. They will surely besiege you in the Ancient Emperor's Cave!"
"Master, only martial artists in the Open Vessel Realm can enter the TuoShe Cave. With my strength, as long as I practice all the Heavenly Star Sword Techniques you taught me, no one should be my opponent!"
Land Ren said.
Yun Qingyao shook her head and said, "Land Ren, you are underestimating those people too much. They have prepared well to enter the TuoShe Cave, and there are many martial artists with the eighth and ninth Open Vessels, practicing lower-grade Yellow Tier martial skills, and even hidden experts cultivating for the Ancient Emperor of TuoShe's treasures. How will you compete with them?"
Land Ren knew his master was worried about his safety and did not want him to take risks.
But for the TuoShe Cave, he must go and give it a try.
"Master, I must go to the TuoShe Cave. I am just a waste bloodline. If I do not improve my cultivation, I am destined to be mediocre for the rest of my life!"
Land Ren said firmly.
After seeing Land Ren's firm determination, Yun Qingyao said, "Alright, you have two and a half months. If you can practice and master the Thunder Movement and Stormy Gale techniques, I will agree to let you go!"
"If I can master these two techniques, you will agree to let me go? Isn't that too simple?" Land Ren was pleasantly surprised.
"Simple?" Yun Qingyao shook her head and didn't say much more.
Thunder Movement and Stormy Gale were not techniques that could be mastered by someone with a waste bloodline, even if they were a person of divine realization.
A waste bloodline could only practice lower-grade martial skills.
"Master, are you sure you will keep your word? If I can master Thunder Movement and Stormy Gale, will you let me go to the TuoShe Cave?" Land Ren asked.
"Of course, I will keep my word!" Yun Qingyao looked pleased.
"Are you so confident that I will lose, Master?" Land Ren asked.
"You will definitely lose!" Yun Qingyao said confidently.
"Alright, let's make a deal. If you lose, you cannot interfere in anything I do in the future, how about that?" Land Ren grinned.
"No." Yun Qingyao resolutely refused. She knew this disciple needed guidance to prevent him from causing trouble, and she didn't want to clean up after him.
"Hehe," Land Ren chuckled. "So, Master, are you afraid of losing?"
"Who's afraid of losing? Let's bet then. Can a waste bloodline like you really turn the tables?" Yun Qingyao showed a proud expression and then turned and left.
Land Ren stood there and said, "I have the Nameless Pagoda. As long as I have enough spiritual rice, I can practice Thunder Movement and Stormy Gale. I need to find a way to earn more money!"
As he was about to leave, Land Ren saw many junior disciples coming towards him. These junior disciples were there to congratulate him, and some female disciples even expressed their admiration for him, wanting to form a Daoist couple with him.
Land Ren spent several hours dealing with them before finally sending them all away. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
This was the power of strength! With strength, the whole world would be gentle towards you. Without strength, everywhere would be filled with malice!
"Haha, congratulations, Land Ren junior brother!" Wang Teng walked into the courtyard laughing and handed over five banknotes to Land Ren.
"Senior Brother Wang Teng, what are you doing?" Land Ren looked puzzled. Could it be that Wang Teng was giving him congratulatory money for becoming an outer disciple?
"Haha, Land Ren junior brother, thanks to your sparring session this time, I earned a hundred thousand copper coins. I'll split fifty thousand with you!" Wang Teng laughed.
Land Ren discreetly accepted the banknotes and then asked, "Senior Brother Wang Teng, can you lend me a bit more money?"
Fifty thousand copper coins really weren't enough. Buying spiritual rice, he could only practice for about thirteen and a half years, which might not be enough to cultivate the other two moves of the Heavenly Sword Technique.
"If you really need money urgently, I have a lot of spare cash on me. Take it for now!" Wang Teng didn't hesitate and handed over all his money, totaling fifteen thousand, to Land Ren.
Land Ren was touched by this gesture and smiled, saying, "Senior Brother Wang Teng, rest assured. Consider this money as a loan from me. Once I earn some money, I'll return it to you immediately."
"No rush, I'm not short of money anyway!" Wang Teng waved his hand and bid farewell to Land Ren before leaving.
With two hundred thousand banknotes in hand, Land Ren headed to the dining hall to purchase four thousand pounds of spiritual rice.
With four thousand pounds of spiritual rice, he could cultivate for fifty-four years!
"Fifty-four years of cultivation time, casually enough to cultivate those two sword techniques completely," Land Ren thought to himself.
Based on his estimate, mastering these two sword techniques shouldn't take more than twenty years.
"Hehe, I wonder what expression you'll have tomorrow, Master, when I demonstrate these two moves before you," Land Ren mused to himself.
With that thought in mind, Land Ren entered the space of the Nameless Pagoda and began tirelessly cultivating.
