"Slurp slurp... Mmm, this noodle dish is so delicious! Paired with this nut and spinach, it's so refreshing and helps cut through the richness."

"To be honest, after eating insect feasts twice in a row, I thought I had come to hate food, but now I know that what I hate most is still insects."

"As expected, Junior Uncle still loves us. Eating insects is something we have no choice but to do."

"Who says otherwise? The insects only have special effects, otherwise Junior Uncle would never have let us eat them."

"Sigh, if we can't even enjoy our food, how much more distressed must Junior Uncle be when he's cleaning up? Hundreds of thousands of bugs crawling around in front of him, ugh... just thinking about it gives me goosebumps."

"With such a junior uncle, what more could one ask for? Let's raise a big toast! There's no wine here, so let's use noodles as wine and offer a bowl to our junior uncle. Slurp, slurp..."

"Slurp slurp..."

The atmosphere at these gatherings is great, and everyone chats about all sorts of things.

Some disciples who have only been on the mountain for about six months have already integrated into the Shushan Sword Sect family.

One disciple, beaming with excitement, couldn't help but boast, "Let me tell you, a few days ago I went out with Master to participate in an event and ran into a friend I met during the recruitment process. Our Shu Mountain Sword Sect also accepted him back then, but he ultimately chose the invincible sect, Mount Sumeru. He even advised me that although there's only a one-word difference between 'quasi-invincible' and 'invincible,' the difference is enormous. I was a little hesitant at the time, but after seeing him again, I realized that my choice back then was incredibly wise, second only to my choice of reincarnation."

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."

Lin Qingxuan laughed and said, "In the past six months, I went from someone with average comprehension and physical talent to someone with top-grade comprehension and physical talent, and my cultivation level has even broken through to the middle stage of Enlightenment. Meanwhile, my friend, let alone improved his talent, his cultivation level is only at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment."

Ning Shuang added, "Moreover, Senior Brother, you still have endless battles to fight. Although your cultivation level is improving rapidly, your foundation is also incredibly solid."

Lin Qingxuan clapped his hands and said, "That's right. Just as Junior Sister Ning said, although my realm has improved very quickly, my foundation is also very solid. Now that I'm practicing the legendary horse stance of Junior Uncle, my foundation will only become more and more solid, and the gap between me and that friend will only become wider and wider. If it weren't for the fact that changing sects is a big taboo, I would really like to persuade my friend to join our Shushan Sword Sect."

Although they were quite far apart, who were Ye Feng and his group?

Jian Chen smiled slightly and jokingly said to Ye Feng, "You've already become a clerk at such a young age. What do you think?"

Yun Zhongzi chuckled and said, "He almost came to be the same generation as you, what could he possibly think? Shouldn't the focus be on how, through our junior brother's efforts, we have far surpassed the invincible Sumeru Sect in terms of new disciple training?"

Wu Qiuyu chimed in from the side, "I think our Shushan Sword Sect is not far from becoming an invincible sect, right? I believe we will definitely become the invincible sect in the next Heavenly Secrets Ranking."

Ye Feng nodded and said, "What Senior Sister said makes sense, but to advance to an invincible sect, you need a Supreme combat power. Neither you, Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi, nor Martial Uncle have reached that standard. Even if the three of you join forces, you can probably only slightly stop it. So if you want to advance to an invincible sect, the three of you will have to put in some effort."

Xing Zuo immediately said with dissatisfaction, "Junior Brother, you can't just focus on those few Mahayana Realm cultivators. Your Senior Sister Gu and I have already reached the advanced Tribulation Realm. Can't you think of a way to help us advance?"

Ye Feng chuckled and said, "Senior brother, you'd better not provoke me with your words. I'll prepare a feast of hundreds of insects for you to advance your cultivation level. I wonder if you can eat it without batting an eye."

Xing Zuo said nonchalantly, "As long as it's not a 'blessing from heaven and earth' item, I can accept it."

Ye Feng was surprised to hear this.

My senior brother is usually a man of few words, but today he not only talked a lot, but he even knew how to ask for benefits?

Xing Zuo could tell what Ye Feng was thinking just by looking at him.

He gave a wry smile and said, "It's all because of you and Yun Zhongzi, those two idiots. This position of sect leader is a disaster for me. I'm really not suited to be in this position."

Yun Zhongzi hurriedly said, "Senior Brother Xing, please don't underestimate yourself. Although you haven't been on stage for long, we have all seen your hard work."

Xing Zuo immediately got angry, glaring at the culprit who made him the sect leader and said, "Fine, since we're on the topic, then please explain to me, Junior Brother Yun Zhongzi, what efforts I've made?"

"Uh...this..."

Yun Zhongzi was speechless.

After shedding his burdens and returning to his true self, Yun Zhongzi basically stopped paying attention to matters within the sect.

How could one possibly know about the changes within the sect, or Xing Zuo's achievements during this period?

When Ye Feng and the others saw Yun Zhongzi get the short end of the stick, they burst into laughter.

However, upon closer reflection, our own Shushan Sword Sect is indeed quite a unique sect among so many others.

Other sects fight tooth and nail for the leadership position, but here in our sect, no one is willing to accept it even if we just hand it over. It's truly a strange situation.

Ye Feng, however, felt that this was perfectly normal.

Regardless of their initial personality, sword cultivators will eventually develop a free-spirited and unrestrained demeanor.

Suddenly, Wu Qiuyu asked with a puzzled look, "I've been wandering around these past few days and I've discovered a new waterfall on Five Old Peaks where the old canteen used to be. I tried it, and it's not only as sweet as honey, but also incredibly effective. Could it be that the reward for advancing to near-invincible is still ongoing?"

Ah, this...

Ye Feng looked somewhat embarrassed, unsure whether to tell Wu Qiuyu that the spring water he tasted was actually the saliva of the Heavenly Dao.

However, since my senior sister said that the divine spring was effective, I couldn't just say what I wanted to say.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Feng said, "That divine spring water is a reward from the blessings of heaven and earth. In other words, the blessed attribute of the fried golden silkworm pupae I made last time did not apply to the food, but rather to this divine spring that fell from the sky."

After hearing his explanation, Wu Qiuyu and the others suddenly understood.

He just felt that his junior brother was really good at causing trouble. If he had a hundred years, who knows how many good things he could have come up with for the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.
