At this moment, Qian Suisui was standing in the hall.

Her father was receiving guests at the moment, none other than the Sun family, who were allies with them.

"What do you think about the disappearance of the secret realm?" Clan Chief Sun sat opposite Qian Qianzhong, with only a low square table between them.

After Chief Sun finished speaking, he picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.

Before Qian Zhong could say anything, his shrewd eyes lit up: "Your tea is quite good."

Qian Zhongben was still pondering how to express his thoughts when he heard the other party change the subject.

He smiled and said, "I just got this tea. I'll give you some when you leave."

The two clans have a close relationship, and Qian Zhong and Clan Chief Sun also have frequent interactions, exchanging gifts with each other more than once.

Chief Sun was very satisfied, and his smile widened even more.

“I think the disappearance of this secret realm might be man-made,” Qian Zhong said, then called out to Qian Suisui and asked her to describe the scene in the secret realm.

Qian Suisui nodded to her father, and then recounted everything she had seen and heard in the secret realm.

I was kicked out shortly after entering, and the gains were minimal.

After discussing the secret realm, Qian Suisui added, "Dad, Mu Jin's cultivation level has reached Spirit Master."

She didn't even know what she was thinking; she only realized her mistake after she said it.

However, Qian Zhong didn't think that much; he suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Clan Chief Qian, he's just a minor Spirit Master, why are you so agitated?" Clan Chief Sun said, holding a cup of tea and taking small sips. He glanced at Qian Zhong's excited expression, blew on the hot tea, and spoke.

Qian Zhong knew he had lost his composure, but it was also because the news was too shocking.

“If he were just an ordinary spiritual master, I wouldn’t be so shocked, but this spiritual master only repaired his meridians a few months ago, and when he entered my Qian family, he was only at the Spiritual Entry level.” Qian Zhong glanced at Clan Chief Sun and said coolly.

Just as Chief Sun was about to take a sip of hot tea, he choked and coughed a few times upon hearing this.

He also hurriedly stood up.

"What did you say?! You've advanced two levels in just a few months?! Even the number one genius in Lingyun City hasn't ever advanced two levels in such a short time!"

"Sui Sui, do you know when she broke through?" Qian Zhong looked at his daughter standing beside him.

Qian Suisui gritted her teeth and finally said, "It was today that I broke through."

Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell silent.

After a long while, Elder Sun finally said, "You suspect it's her?"

The specific suspicions were not stated, but the two clan leaders knew what the other was thinking when they exchanged a glance.

The fact that he could cultivate so quickly, especially at this crucial juncture, makes it hard not to think things through.

Qian Zhong nodded, agreeing with Chief Sun's idea.

Soon, the two clan leaders left. Before leaving, Qian Zhong asked a lot of questions about Lin Jingge's whereabouts that day.

Qian Suisui watched her father go to investigate Lin Jingge, and her feelings were complicated.

She never imagined she would be so jealous of someone, and she certainly never imagined that she would become such a gossipy woman because of such a small jealousy.

Qian Suisui's older brother had been in the lobby the whole time. After watching the entire process, he walked over with his arms crossed.

"Don't you usually love spending time with her? Why are you like this today..."

"I..." Qian Suisui felt ashamed upon hearing her older brother's words. She lowered her head, lost in thought.

After leaving the hall, Qian Zhong began investigating Lin Jingge's matter. Elder Sun, who was interested in the matter, followed him.

...

Inside Grandma Lin's room.

After removing Grandma Lin's makeup, Lin Jingge did not leave immediately, but sat down and chatted with Grandma Lin for a few minutes.

When asked about her future plans, Lin Jingge was still somewhat confused. However, her cultivation could not be delayed, especially with Chu Wang still watching her closely.

"Jiaojiao, your cultivation has reached the Spirit Master level. You can choose a sect to join." Seeing that Lin Jingge had lost interest, Granny Lin said, "Back then, I didn't talk to you about these things because I saw that you didn't have any cultivation. I've been busy running around lately and haven't had a chance to bring it up. Today is a good day for us to have a good talk."

Lin Jingge nodded, and seeing that Granny Lin was about to speak, she immediately listened attentively.

Although she has lived in this world for so many years, there are still many things she doesn't know. In addition, due to the constraints of the plot in previous years, she simply didn't have the opportunity to learn so much.

"Although your cultivation level has improved now, you only know a few techniques that I taught you," Granny Lin sighed. Their family had few inherited techniques, and the remaining ones were all auxiliary, useful for spiritual plants but unsuitable for combat.

It is said that spiritual cultivation is a struggle against the heavens, and without a suitable cultivation method, one may only be able to reach the level of a spiritual master.

Most independent cultivators can't advance beyond the Spirit Master stage because they lack suitable cultivation techniques. They can't even reach the barrier of the Great Spirit Master, let alone break through by summoning lightning tribulation.

Lin Jingge listened attentively as Granny Lin explained the rules of the spiritual cultivation world, nodding in agreement from time to time without interrupting. However, when Granny Lin suggested that she find a sect to join, Lin Jingge became somewhat reluctant.

"Grandma, what will you do if I join a sect?!" Lin Jingge looked up at Grandma Lin, her eyes full of disapproval.

Grandma Lin was her only relative in this world, and the most important person to her.

Moreover, Chu Wang is still a ticking time bomb, and it's anyone's guess when he'll explode. If he goes to the sect and something happens to Granny Lin, she'll regret it for the rest of her life.

"Grandma is already this old, surely she can take care of herself and doesn't need a little kid like you to worry about her?" Grandma Lin chuckled.

It warmed her heart to know that her granddaughter still remembered her at this time.

He reached out and patted Lin Jingge's hand, which was resting on her lap: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Lin Jingge was about to say something, but she was silenced by a look from Granny Lin.

"Judging by the dates, it should be next year. The Yunding Sect will be recruiting disciples in the capital. If we set off now, we should still be able to make it in time."

Grandma Lin's expression softened, and she spoke slowly and deliberately, as if she had thought of these words beforehand.

After listening to Granny Lin's words, Lin Jingge did not speak immediately, but instead had Xiao Shi look up information about the Yunding Sect in her mind.

Xiao Shi acted quickly, rapidly transmitting the information he had found into Lin Jingge's mind.

Lin Jingge then realized that the Cloud Cauldron Sect was not a sect from the Canglan Continent, but from an outer continent.

"Grandma, you should know that the Cloud Cauldron Sect is..." Lin Jingge hesitated before speaking, "If you really want to join a sect, there are so many sects in Canglan..."

Before she could finish speaking, Granny Lin glared at her and said, "You've already reached the Spirit Master level at such a young age. How can any sect on the Azure Orchid Continent be worthy of you!"

Grandma Lin seemed to be angered by Lin Jingge's lack of ambition and abruptly pulled her hand back.
