One can just ask casually, and the other can just say something casually. As for whether others believe it or not, that is their business.

Yang Zhen looked at the curious crowd and answered seriously, "Reporting to the master, that senior really exists, but he is not dead. He left and said that he wants to practice in seclusion. In the future, he will fight with the hairy and scaly four-legged worm for another three hundred years!"

The people around looked at Yang Zhen as if they didn't believe him. Lu Chenghui smiled bitterly and scolded him, "You are talking nonsense. However, since you have comprehended the Heaven-level Ghost Sword by chance, you should practice well and don't participate in the Youzhou Conference in ten days. The leader of the Shijian Sect, Wanquan, is narrow-minded and will definitely find a way to get the Ghost Sword practice method from you. This trip is too dangerous."

Lu Chenghui looked at Yang Zhen, who didn't care, with some surprise, and then said, "During this period of time, you should practice hard in the sect and strive to break through the Condensation Stage. After building your foundation, you will have the strength to protect yourself!"

Yang Zhen nodded and said seriously: "Thank you, Master. I am practicing the Three Element Ghost Shadow Sword, not the Ghost Shadow Sword."

Lu Chenghui's mouth twitched and he left in a huff.

How could Yang Zhen not know that Wan Quan was waiting for him at the Youzhou Conference. This old man was very bad, and they could not get any benefit at all in Shangyuan Sect. So as long as Yang Zhen was in Shangyuan Sect for one day, he would be safe.

The Youzhou Conference is of vital importance to disciples of small sects. Not only can they obtain a variety of scarce resources in the trials, but they can also meet talented monks from all over the Youzhou continent and get a glimpse of the outside world.

Some geniuses may even be valued by the big sects. If they are accepted as disciples, even the small sect they originally belonged to will be taken care of by the big sect. From then on, they will have a backer and can speak with confidence.

Yang Zhen had no interest in the Youzhou Conference. He was doing very well now. Many of the skills and martial arts he had practiced before could be upgraded and continued to be practiced. In fact, judging from the current situation, Lu Chenghui would allow him to comprehend other skills and martial arts of Shangyuan Sect.

Under such circumstances, let alone during the Youzhou Conference, even in another year or two, Yang Zhen would stay in Shangyuan Sect and not go out.

Is it difficult to be a homebody?

Faced with those fellow disciples who looked at him with pity, Yang Zhen just wanted to respond to them with "hehe".

In the next ten days, Yang Zhen learned almost everything there was to learn in Shangyuan Sect and completed the upgrades.

The spirit marrow had been used up, and Yang Zhen's cultivation speed improved by leaps and bounds. In ten days, he broke through to the ninth level of the Condensation Stage one day earlier than his senior sister Liu Ruoning.

You know, the ninth level of the Condensation Period is almost an insurmountable barrier. Those who can cultivate to the ninth level of the Condensation Period are almost destined to succeed in building a foundation. It is just a matter of time.

"Junior brother, I have made a breakthrough!"

Liu Ruoning excitedly rushed into Yang Zhen's room, and it was obvious that she was really happy.

Yang Zhen had just finished a shower and was only wrapped in a loose coat. He was admiring his tall and strong body in front of the bronze mirror. He was startled when Liu Ruoning suddenly rushed in.

"You...why didn't you close the door!" Liu Ruoning glared at Yang Zhen and turned away.

Yang Zhen secretly laughed, but his tone was as if he had suffered a great injustice: "Senior Sister, you came in without even knocking, and you just said... a breakthrough?"

Liu Ruoning turned around, a little embarrassed, but unable to hide the excitement on her face: "I have made a breakthrough, I only need an opportunity to successfully build my foundation!"

"Congratulations!"

"Junior brother, your aptitude is not worse than mine. Maybe even better. You can definitely... have you made a breakthrough too?"

Liu Ruoning looked at Yang Zhen in disbelief, with surprise in her bright eyes.

The aura emanating from Yang Zhen was actually that of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, exactly the same as hers, which made it a little hard for her to believe.

The speed of cultivation does not have much to do with enlightenment, otherwise Yang Zhen would not have been in the first level of the Condensation Stage for so many years.

But it was only ten days, and Yang Zhen had already cultivated to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Stage, and it seemed that he was about to succeed in building his foundation. This was simply impossible.

Apart from the disciples from the big sects, Liu Ruoning had never seen such a terrifying speed of cultivation. However, even the disciples from the big sects mostly relied on drugs to accumulate their skills.

Yang Zhen admired the wonderful expression on Liu Ruoning's face. It was so beautiful that he felt happy in his heart. No wonder so many men like to accompany pigs to eat tigers. This feeling is really great.

"How...how did you practice?"

Yang Zhen looked at the body in the bronze mirror with a nostalgic look, and said with a melancholy look: "Maybe this is God's will. A man like me will eventually make a name for himself in Youzhou Continent."

Liu Ruoning burst out laughing, and glared at Yang Zhen with a mixture of anger and shame: "Master has long known that you can't hold back in Shangyuan Sect. Let me remind you that Duan Langcai has already boasted that he will take your life in the Youzhou Conference Trial. The Youzhou Conference is full of dangers, and Duan Langcai is so fearless. You must keep calm and practice well in Shangyuan Sect. They...they are so unscrupulous because they are sure that you can't help but participate in the Youzhou Conference."

Yang Zhen said disdainfully: "I, Yang Zhen, would rather die by jumping off the main peak of Shangyuan Sect than participate in any Youzhou Conference. It's very boring!"

One day later, Yang Zhen stood on a hill ten miles away from Shangyuan Sect, took a deep breath of fresh air, grinned and said, "It smells so good!"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Liu Ruoning, who was not far away, had a sad face. Hearing this, she glared at Yang Zhen and said while biting her lower lip, "Junior brother, you...you actually lied to me and hid in the carriage when we weren't paying attention. If the head master knew about this, he would definitely blame me."

Yang Zhen grinned and said, "Sister, I have learned all the skills of Shangyuan Sect. It's really boring to stay here. I might as well go out and see the world. I'm in seclusion for cultivation. Don't worry, I'll just take a look. I'll come out when I go back. Who would know that I've come out?"

"You..." Liu Ruoning said unhappily, "The Youzhou Conference is very dangerous!"

Yang Zhen patted his chest and said, "I will protect you!"

"That's not what I meant!" Liu Ruoning glared at Yang Zhen and stopped talking as if she was angry.

"It's so comfortable, it's better to come out!"

Yang Zhen took a deep breath and moved his body, and suddenly there was a crackling sound of bones popping.

Staying in the sect and not coming out? How is that possible!

Yang Zhen's face was full of interest. Duan Langcai actually dared to threaten to take his life in the Youzhou Conference Trial. He must have obtained something incredible, maybe a heavenly-level martial art, or a powerful magic weapon or secret treasure?

Although Lu Chenghui and Changyue Zhenren were nice to Yang Zhen, Shangyuan Sect was too poor. This time, Yang Zhen had to find some good things, otherwise he wouldn't be able to build a foundation, so what was the point of playing?

"Huh?" Yang Zhen was suddenly stunned: "Is there someone coming over there?"

"Where?" Liu Ruoning hurriedly looked in the direction Yang Zhen was looking, but saw Yang Zhen's half-smile. Liu Ruoning was so angry that she hit Yang Zhen.

“Someone really came.”
