Nan Lingrong slowly opened her eyes, nodded slightly, and looked at Ye Feng.

"You may step back now," Nan Lingrong said.

These words were naturally meant for Qiu Miaozhen.

Qiu Miaozhen nodded in agreement and then walked outside.

Thus, only Ye Feng and Nan Lingrong remained in the pristine and spacious Lingyu Palace.

Nan Lingrong smiled and said, "You really surprise me. You went from an outer disciple to an inner disciple so quickly, and you even broke through from the Separation and Union Realm to the True Essence Realm. Most importantly, you refined six seventh-grade spirit pills in one batch... Ye Feng, you have brought me many surprises."

"Sect Master is joking. My rapid progress is just due to good luck," Ye Feng said, shaking his head.

“If it were just one or two things, then saying you’re lucky wouldn’t be so bad. But now that so many miraculous things have happened to you, the word ‘luck’ is not enough to describe it,” Nan Lingrong said slowly.

"Does the sect leader not trust me?" Ye Feng asked back.

Nan Lingrong looked Ye Feng up and down a few times, and said frankly, "I am indeed a little worried about you, after all, the various abnormalities you have shown have made me very concerned. However, you have made many contributions to our Ling Shui Sect since you joined the sect, which makes me very satisfied."

After a pause, Nan Lingrong changed the subject and said, "You want the seventh and eighth levels of the Spirit Water Cloud and Rain Technique?"

“Exactly.” Night Breeze nodded.

"Alright, come forward." Nan Lingrong beckoned.

Ye Feng then strode towards Nan Lingrong and stopped in front of her.

Nan Lingrong raised her slender hand, grasped Ye Feng's wrist, and said, "Don't resist."

As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Lingrong's true energy entered Ye Feng's body.

Ye Feng did not resist, but in that instant he contracted the true energy in his body and gathered it into his dantian.

Nan Lingrong's true energy circulated throughout Ye Feng's meridians, examining every part of his body.

However, as time went on, a hint of doubt appeared on Nan Lingrong's face.

Nan Lingrong checked several times but found nothing unusual.

Ye Feng's internal energy appeared calm and ordinary, nothing special.

Moreover, the true energy of the night wind was actually the water-based true energy cultivated from the Spiritual Water Cloud and Rain Technique!

Nan Lingrong also discovered that Ye Feng had actually cultivated the Spirit Water Cloud and Rain Technique to the fifth level, which was incredibly fast!

Am I just overthinking things?

Ye Feng was not a master who hid his strength and infiltrated his own sect. He displayed so many special qualities simply because he had exceptional talent.

If that's the case, then it's actually a great thing!

Thinking of this, Nan Lingrong breathed a sigh of relief, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"I will now directly imprint the true energy circulation route of the Spirit Water Cloud Rain Technique into your meridians. After you return, carefully comprehend it. With your talent and comprehension, I think you will definitely gain a lot," Nan Lingrong said with a smile.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

The night breeze nodded slightly.

A quarter of an hour later, Nan Lingrong had imprinted the seventh and eighth levels of the Spirit Water Cloud Rain Technique's true energy circulation routes into Ye Feng's meridians.

This method of teaching techniques is more profound than written words, yet it is also more concise and easy to understand!

Moreover, it wasn't just the seventh and eighth levels of the Spirit Water Cloud Rain Technique; Nan Lingrong even imparted some insights gained from cultivation.

These insights are of great benefit to the night breeze!

"Alright, you can leave now. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can seek help from Qiu Miaozhen. If she can't solve it, I will step in," Nan Lingrong said with a smile.

"Yes, thank you."

Ye Feng thanked him again, bowed, and finally withdrew from the main hall.

Upon seeing Ye Feng emerge, Qiu Miaozhen immediately asked curiously, "Did my master pass on the seventh and eighth levels of the Spirit Water Cloud and Rain Technique to you?"

“Yes,” Ye Feng said with a smile.

"You're so lucky! I don't even have an eighth-level cultivation technique!" Qiu Miaozhen said.

Qiu Miaozhen is a direct disciple and already possesses the first seven levels of the technique, but the eighth level will only be available to her after she becomes a Dharma Protector.

Qiu Miaozhen had asked Nan Lingrong for the teachings several times, but no matter how much she pleaded, Nan Lingrong refused to teach them to her.

After all, this is the rule of the Lingshui Sect, and Nan Lingrong is the sect leader of the Lingshui Sect, so she naturally has to set an example.

"Senior sister, becoming a protector and elder is only a matter of time for you, so there's no need to rush. Besides, while the cultivation technique is good, your own strength and realm are the most fundamental," Ye Feng said with a smile.

That's true.

Qiu Miaozhen smiled and nodded.

Then Qiu Miaozhen asked, "Junior brother, where are you going now?"

"Having just received the sect leader's instruction, I now possess the seventh and eighth levels of cultivation techniques. Of course, I must go back and carefully comprehend them," Ye Feng explained.

"I knew you'd be eager to cultivate the Spirit Water Cloud Rain Technique; I've figured out your temperament completely!"

Qiu Miaozhen chuckled and continued, "However, junior brother, you'd better not be too ambitious. The Spirit Water Cloud Rain Technique is profound and complex. You haven't even mastered the first few levels yet, so you can't rush the later ones."

"That's natural."

The night wind bowed and then flew away into the distance.

Suddenly remembering something, Qiu Miaozhen shouted to Ye Feng, "Ye Feng, tomorrow is the fifteenth, remember to go to the Central Square to listen to the sermon!"

"knew."

The sound of the night wind drifted from afar.

The night passed quickly.

As soon as dawn broke, the night breeze arrived at the central square of the Ling Shui Sect.

The other disciples of the Lingshui Sect also came over here, and after arriving at the central square, they sat down in twos and threes on the ground.

Just then, a woman's voice came from inside.

"Look, isn't that Senior Brother Ye!"

"It really is Senior Brother Ye!"

"Come on, let's go say hello!"

Six female disciples ran over from a distance and surrounded Ye Feng.

Ye Feng looked at the female disciples with a puzzled expression, and it took him a moment to realize who they were.

These six female disciples were the same six unlucky girls who were injured in the explosion and sent to the alchemy workshop for treatment!

"Hello, senior brother!"

"Senior brother, you've come to listen to the sermon too! What a coincidence!"

"Me too!"

"Senior brother, have you had breakfast yet? I still have some here, would you like some?"

"Senior brother, are you free today?"

The six female disciples surrounded Ye Feng, chatting away, which left Ye Feng somewhat bewildered.

Suddenly, Qiu Miaozhen and Li Qingyan's laughter came together.

"I didn't expect you to be so popular, junior brother!"

"Junior brother, I thought you were only devoted to your two partners, but it seems that's not the case now!"

Ye Feng knew without turning around that Qiu Miaozhen and Li Qingyan had arrived. Sure enough, a moment later, the two of them floated down from the sky and landed in front of Ye Feng.
