Seeing that Jing Zhe remained silent, Su Mochen did not stop talking and continued speaking.
"Moreover, those sect members are not afraid of court officials. The officials who attend the martial arts tournament every year are all of much higher rank than you, but how many of them are afraid?"
"In addition, with your personality, you are very likely to offend people, so you need to be more careful. After all, those people are not as easy to deal with as Lin Wenyao or Wu De."
Hearing this, Jing Zhe grinned and said, "I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they do offend me, I will beat them until they submit!"
He spoke with great confidence, but Su Mochen disagreed. He was about to say that the martial arts tournament was full of hidden talents and that the skills of those people were unfathomable, and that Jing Zhe's mediocre skills at the second level were simply not enough to compete with him, when he suddenly sensed a change in Jing Zhe and was stunned.
"you…"
Pointing at Jing Zhe, he looked utterly incredulous.
Jing Zhe smiled, somewhat smugly.
"Did you think I had lost all my internal energy?"
Surprisingly, Su Mochen shook his head: "It's not that my internal energy is gone, but that I've improved across realms!"
"..."
"When I saw you yesterday, your internal energy was only at the peak of the second level, but now you are already at the middle of the fourth level, which means you are already considered a near-expert!"
"..."
These words had a great impact on Jing Zhe. Not only could he not sense the change in his aura, but even Wang Yingqiu, a master who had already broken through the fourth level and entered the initial stage of the fifth level, could not see the change in his internal energy. However, Su Mochen saw it at a glance.
It was truly shocking.
"Mo Chen... your cultivation level is too high! You could tell at a glance? Are you already at the sixth level?"
As Wang Yingqiu had said before, there are very few experts with the sixth level of cultivation, and most of them are older members of the four major sects. Even the most outstanding young generation, the "Twin Beauties of Yunjing," are only at the middle stage of the fifth level!
How old is Su Mochen?
Without making a fuss, he has already reached the sixth level!
However, the reality was not as he guessed. Su Mochen pulled his long hair back and laughed, "Do you know how difficult it is to reach the sixth level? Most martial artists can't reach it in their entire lives, so how could I possibly reach the sixth level?"
"But how could you tell my cultivation level at a glance? I can't even feel the energy within my body anymore!"
"because…"
Su Mochen glanced at Jing Zhe, a half-smile on her face: "I'm your senior sister!"
"..."
...
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhe froze on the spot.
It took me a long time to come to my senses.
"Senior Sister?"
I was still somewhat surprised.
Su Mochen smiled and nodded, "Although I don't know when you met your master, I'm certain you are my junior brother! Because of your current state of internal energy, only the disciples of our Heaven and Earth Sect can achieve this, no one else can!"
Master…
Heaven and Earth Sect…
Jing Zhe felt that Su Mochen must have made a mistake, but still asked curiously, "Are you saying that hiding internal energy is a kind of cultivation technique?"
Su Mochen nodded, then shook his head: "Actually, it can't really be called a cultivation technique! It's just a unique secret manual of our Heaven and Earth Sect. As long as you practice the Heaven and Earth Sect's internal energy, once you break through to the fourth level, your internal energy will be completely hidden, and outsiders won't be able to tell!"
"..."
This was the first time Jing Zhe had ever heard of such a miraculous thing.
After a moment's pause, she still spoke honestly: "Perhaps it's true, as you say, that we cultivate the same internal energy, but you're not my senior sister because I don't know any master!"
Upon hearing his words, Su Mochen also looked puzzled.
"If you don't know your master, who taught you the internal energy cultivation method?"
He then added, "Let me tell you, this internal energy cultivation method is unique in the world. Only disciples of the Heaven and Earth Sect can practice it. Others could try their hardest to learn it, and you still say it wasn't taught to you by your master!"
Upon hearing how precious this internal energy cultivation method was, Jing Zhe helplessly shrugged and said, "But... I really don't have a master!"
So he recounted how he had accidentally obtained the jujube pills from Zhou Zhiwei.
After listening, Su Mochen nodded: "Although you have never met Master, you are indeed my junior brother!"
Before Jing Zhe could ask any questions, she began to explain in detail.
As Wang Yingqiu had guessed, the person who taught Su Mochen martial arts was the same master who had come to the palace, the one Su Mochen had mentioned as their master.
Their master was at a very high level, but Su Mochen said she couldn't say for sure how high, because no one could tell his level at the time. However, his actions revealed that he was a highly skilled person, which is why Emperor An tried his best to invite him into the palace. By a twist of fate, he even made an exception and accepted Su Mochen, a woman, as his disciple.
After Su Mochen achieved considerable success in her studies, she deduced that her master's cultivation level was at least at the sixth level of perfection, or even higher...
"Even higher? Wouldn't that make him a grandmaster?"
Su Mochen nodded, "Master's realm is so high that no one can rival him. It's not surprising that he is a Grandmaster! When Master left the palace, he said that the Heaven and Earth Sect has always accepted male disciples but not female disciples. It was already an exception for him to accept me, but he still wanted to accept another male disciple."
"He was refining a miraculous medicine, saying that if it was successfully refined, the speed of his cultivation would be faster than that of martial arts just by taking the medicine. However, he was still missing a few medicinal ingredients, which he could not find in Jingzhou. On the contrary, because I delayed him for too long, he set off for Jinxi and has not been heard from since!"
"..."
After listening to her, it seemed that everything made sense.
Jing Zhe thought for a moment and then asked, "Why didn't you notice me when you saw me before?"
Su Mochen shook his head and said, "When I saw you before, what level of internal energy cultivation did you have? And after eating the jujube pills made by your master, you only gained internal strength. And if I'm not mistaken, the external martial arts you practice are the same as Sister Jinghong's. Did she teach you them?"
Jing Zhe didn't hide anything and nodded, saying, "My fifth sister gave me her martial arts manual before she left. I couldn't understand it before, but after I gained internal energy by eating jujube pills, I was able to understand it and practiced some every day."
"That's more like it!"
Su Mochen nodded, looking as if he had just realized something.
“When I first saw you, I noticed you were practicing the same way as Sister Jinghong, so I assumed she had taught you and didn’t think much of it. Besides, your internal energy was too low back then, so I couldn’t tell anything. But it’s different now. Once your internal energy exceeds the fourth level, it will be like mine now, where the internal energy disappears. And this kind of technique is only available in our Heaven and Earth Sect, so I can tell!”
After speaking, she glanced at Jing Zhe with a hint of arrogance, opened her small mouth, and uttered three words:
"Call me Senior Sister!"
"..."
