Seeing the words that emerged on the Preaching Stele, Chu Shaobai, who was dressed in brocade clothes among the crowd, suddenly had rapid breathing and a look of astonishment on his face.
He shifted his gaze and landed it on Ryan.
"So his name is Ryan! No wonder..."
Perhaps those with little knowledge only thought that Ryan was a genius. Besides envy and jealousy, they didn't think it was a big deal.
After all, the path of cultivation was long. Even if one wasted a hundred years, one might not necessarily achieve anything.
But Chu Shaobai, with a profound family heritage, could clearly and deeply understand how heavy the weight of the eight words "instantly comprehend the Tao and achieve immediate success" was!
Before coming here to participate in the assessment, the elders in his family had told him how to roughly judge the talent and comprehension of those who entered the sect at the same time.
In front of the Preaching Stele, those who achieved success in ten days could become the lowest-level registered disciples of Xuanji Cave Heaven. Those who achieved success in five days could directly enter the outer sect!
If one could complete the spiritual energy cycle with the "Xuanji Qi - Nurturing Method" within three days and succeed in cultivation, one could rise rapidly and directly become a noble inner sect disciple, two levels higher than ordinary disciples!
But Ryan...
Not to mention three days.
He didn't even use one day, or even half a day!
Looking at the brilliant golden light that emerged on the Preaching Stele, this person probably had already easily broken the cultivation record of Xuanji Sect for countless years.
In Chu Shaobai's opinion, Ryan's previous aloof and haughty manner was not just a bluff. It was because...
This person really had extraordinary comprehension and outstanding talent!
It couldn't be blamed on Chu Shaobai's shallow knowledge that he reacted so strongly.
The Fairy of Turbid Wine, who was invisible and sitting on top of the Preaching Stele drinking by herself, also had a look of surprise on her extremely beautiful fair face at this moment.
The wine gourd that had fallen from her hand seemed to have spirituality and flew back by itself, hanging on her waist.
"Immediate success..."
The fairy slightly opened her red lips, carefully chewing on these four words, and her mind was filled with thoughts.
"Last year's genius who directly entered the inner sect also spent two full days to reach this level."
"Since the identity and origin of this person are not written on the Preaching Stele, it means that he is definitely not a spy sent by heretical sects, demons, or ghosts. He just comes from a humble family."
"Such talent and comprehension are unheard of!"
"The lack of wealth, cultivation methods, companions, and cultivation lands is nothing compared to this outstanding talent!"
The astonished Fairy of Turbid Wine quickly made a judgment: "The young Ryan can boost the power of my Drunken Immortal Peak."
"I will take him as my disciple. After a hundred years, my Wine and Sword lineage will surely be able to reopen a hall in Xuanji Cave Heaven!"
With this thought, she stepped into the air.
The Fairy of Turbid Wine took the initiative to disperse her spiritual charm, broke her invisibility and manifested her figure. She descended from the sky and came to Ryan's side.
So...
Ryan clearly saw that the other person had a graceful figure and a simple hair bun.
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in mist, and her eyes were like autumn waters full of luster.
She was dressed in a flowing plain gauze long skirt. The snow-white gauze brushed over her jade-like ankles, and every step she took was like a lotus blooming.
There was a delicate crimson wine gourd hanging on the fairy's waist. There was a pattern of an immortal sword painted on the gourd, adding a bit of unruly and carefree feeling to her.
Finally seeing the true face of the Fairy of Turbid Wine, tens of thousands of young boys and girls held their breaths.
Being in the same place with her, everyone blushed, felt extremely thirsty, and felt inferior. Their Adam's apples moved slightly up and down. They forgot to speak, and their minds were completely blank. For a while, only the clear sound of heartbeats could be heard on the platform of the Preaching Stele.
But the Fairy of Turbid Wine didn't pay attention to the others. It seemed that she had concentrated all her attention on Ryan.
Staring at the aloof and cold hemp-clothed young man, she beamed with joy, and a trace of delight also appeared in her beautiful eyes like a pair of scissors cutting through water. She praised: "Such talent is undoubtedly a celestial prodigy!"
Regardless of whether others could understand or not, she said to herself: "The sect leader deduced the heavenly way and calculated that the Chixiao Era has already reached its end, and a new era is about to begin."
"During the era change and under the great catastrophe, I don't know how many paradises and immortal sects will collapse and be destroyed, and the inheritance of the immortal path sects will be cut off."
"By then, hundreds of millions of cultivators will die and disappear. How many people can rise smoothly and achieve ascension?"
"Meeting you at this time when you are still unknown is also a sign that my fortune and luck have arrived as the True Person of Turbid Wine!"
"I want to take you as my disciple, teach you cultivation methods, bestow you with supernatural powers, and give you my mantle. What do you think?"
Under the excitement, she said a lot more than usual.
A celestial prodigy is something that can only be encountered but not sought.
Since there is a fate, there is no reason to miss it.
[Fairy] is a respectful title for mortals.
The fellow cultivators of other immortal sects and the deacons and elders of Xuanji Cave Heaven all respectfully call her [True Person]!
In fact, in the cultivation world, the weight of this title is even heavier.
[True Person of Turbid Wine] is a title she obtained after achieving great success in cultivation, stepping into the transcendent realm, traveling around the world with a sword, and fighting her way out!
Countless demons, ghosts, and evil spirits died under her sword, which forged such a great reputation!
Seeing that the other person took the initiative to speak, Ryan said without hesitation: "I once secretly learned in a private school and heard a sentence."
Hearing this, a curious look appeared in the beautiful eyes of the True Person of Turbid Wine.
The next moment, she got Ryan's reply.
"It is exactly what I have wished for, but I dared not ask."
Hearing this, the True Person of Turbid Wine's evaluation of him rose to a higher level.
A celestial prodigy from a humble background but humble and studious.
Hee!
With a disciple like this, what more could a master ask for?
"Let's go!"
The True Person of Turbid Wine stretched out her slender hand, held Ryan's hand, and said in a loud voice: "From now on, you are the eldest disciple of this True Person!"
"As a teacher, I have never been particular about formalities. I will take you to Drunken Immortal Peak and teach you the exclusive immortal sword formula."
There was a full of joy in her words: "Such excellent comprehension is exactly suitable for inheriting my mantle!"
Ryan, who was being held by the hand, felt a thump in his heart and was a little nervous.
The light blue fluorescent text that only he could see appeared in front of his eyes.
[Ryan: The Only Awakener of the Supernatural Power of Causality]
[Currently Borrowed Fruits of Cultivation: Introduction to the "Xuanji Qi - Nurturing Method".]
[Degree of Repayment of the Cause of Cultivation: 0/11 (days)]
[Current Repayment Efficiency: 1.]
[Currently Available Times of Advancement: 0.]
The supernatural power of causality wouldn't lie!
Before completely repaying the "cause", he couldn't make a second advance and obtain the future cultivation "fruit" for the time being.
So, he definitely couldn't just stupidly follow her.
Doing that would surely be exposed on the spot and reveal his true average talent!
The current situation was that he borrowed the future cultivation achievements in advance, made the "Xuanji Qi - Nurturing Method" immediately reach the introductory level, and showed off his abilities in public, which was very satisfying. But...
He still had to work hard to cultivate for eleven days to repay the cause of cultivation!
To put it simply, he had to make up for the cultivation process and interest.
In the words of his hometown on Earth, it was "get on the train first and buy the ticket later".
Looking at the reaction of the True Person of Turbid Wine, his [Plan of Disguising as a Celestial Prodigy] had a very good start!
However, if he wanted to use the supernatural power of causality again, he had to endure eleven days of hard cultivation to pay off the debt.
One of the days was interest, and the other ten days were the time he needed to normally cultivate the "Xuanji Qi - Nurturing Method" to the introductory level without using the supernatural power.
That is to say...
Even without relying on the power of causal advance and cheating, he could still pass the assessment and not fail to obtain the immortal fate.
However, in that case, he would surely become the lowest-level registered disciple of Xuanji Cave Heaven and be accompanied by daily chores.
"I just advanced my future cultivation achievements and reached the introductory level of the 'Xuanji Qi - Nurturing Method'."
Ryan's thoughts were clear: "Now, I definitely can't go to learn her exclusive immortal sword formula!"
The supernatural power of causality couldn't be activated for the time being. If he went to learn it immediately, wouldn't he expose his true talent?
He had to find a way to delay time!
He had to delay until he paid off the debt of the "Xuanji Qi - Nurturing Method" and had a new opportunity to advance before he could follow her!
Ryan's thoughts raced, and a plan came to his mind.
