On Jiandan Peak, Mu Qinrou noticed something unusual and stood on the top of the peak looking towards Fuyao Peak.
"Junior Brother Jiang is going to face the tribulation." Liu Songlan had walked behind him without him noticing, with a hint of envy in her tone.
Mu Qinrou glanced back at Liu Songlan, who was still in the middle stage of foundation building, and said with a smile, "You and my junior brother both have top-grade wood spiritual roots, and you are two years older than him. Your progress does seem a bit slow."
"Have you ever thought about where you are lacking?"
Liu Songlan said truthfully: "My talent is not as good as that of Junior Brother Jiang."
Whether it is his understanding of Taoism or his comprehension of swordsmanship and alchemy, he cannot compare to Jiang Qingruo.
Therefore, even though Jiang Qingruo's progress in all aspects was far ahead of him, he felt it was natural and was just a little envious.
"What else?" Mu Qinrou asked again.
Liu Songlan thought about it, then shook her head and said, "I don't know."
"The sect assigns you a fixed amount of practice tasks every day, and you've completed them all very well."
"The rest of the time, you'll have to plan things out properly, but you've always been terrible at that."
"It's not that you don't know how to plan, but as soon as Luo Shuangbai makes a request, you immediately put aside what you are doing and accompany him."
"You see, Junior Brother Jiang often goes to Jianqi Peak to look for Junior Brother Gong, but he never lets that stop him from doing what he needs to do."
"Luo Shuangbai is the same. Before he went to the Cliff of Repentance, he would chat with Situ Xin every day, take a walk with you, and occasionally go to the outer gate to see those fellow apprentices who admired him."
"That sounds much busier than you, doesn't it? But from what Senior Brother Tu said, he assigns himself a lot of extra practice every day, and never lets anything delay it."
"Even if he has to delay, he will arrange the time and make up for it earlier or later."
"I won't mention other aspects of this person, but this one is very good. I think it's very suitable for you to learn from."
The more Liu Songlan listened, the lower her head fell: "Senior Sister, I know I was wrong."
"It's not wrong for young Mu Ai to do some stupid things, as long as he can adjust in the future." Mu Qinrou patted his shoulder, "Second Junior Brother, you have the courage to make decisions, and you should also show the corresponding action."
"Our Canglan Continent is not a good place to be sad about love."
"As direct descendants of the Wanjian Sect, we don't have the time for this."
Mu Qinrou glanced in the direction of Jian Xiaofeng again, her gentle voice lowering a bit: "A peak master can accept nine personal disciples. Do you know why Jian Cangfeng and Jian Xiaofeng decided on the next successor so quickly?"
Liu Songlan: "Because they are the most suitable?"
"The nine disciples are not yet gathered, how can we know who is the most suitable one?" Mu Qinrou shook her head.
"Why is that?" Liu Songlan was puzzled.
"Because they have damaged their foundation, it is difficult to heal."
Mu Qinrou lowered her eyes, and her long and thick eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes.
"The disciples directly taught by the seven major sects have always been the most talented. As long as they can survive in the realm, they can ascend to the upper realm, almost without exception."
"Those who choose to stay in the sect as elders, peak masters, or sect masters will have to stay in the Lower Realm for at least three hundred years. This will have a huge impact on their future development."
"Therefore, some of those who stayed behind were reluctant to leave the sect."
"But this part is very small, because there is also a Ten Thousand Swords Immortal Sect in the Upper Domain, and everyone can reunite in the Upper Domain."
"Another group has limited talent, and it's difficult for them to advance beyond the Void Refinement Stage. However, these people are unlikely to appear in the direct teachings, and they usually end up as ordinary elders in the sect."
"There are also some people like Senior Brother Shen and Senior Brother Si. They were seriously injured while on missions outside, which damaged their foundation. After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, their cultivation progress will slow down a lot."
"People like this can only stay and wait for an opportunity to heal their damaged foundation. Otherwise, the Void Refining stage will be their final destination. Even if they ascend to the upper realms, they will only be relegated to the bottom level."
Liu Songlan felt uncomfortable after hearing this and couldn't help asking, "Why did the two brothers get so badly injured?"
"Of course it's because of the evil cultivators."
Mu Qinrou is also an orphan from the realm. Because of her good talent and her parents being old acquaintances of the Lord of Baili Peak, she was brought back to the Wanjian Sect to be raised since she was a child.
She saw with her own eyes that Chen Yanshu and Si Junzhan joined the sect together.
The two are of the same age, both are direct disciples, and their styles are very similar in all aspects, so they feel that they are like-minded and repel each other. In the early days, they disliked each other.
They both smile at others, but when they are with each other, they are like cats with their fur standing on end, and will start fighting if they disagree.
At that time, the elders of the sect were very worried that the two of them would not get along well, which would affect their future missions.
Later, the two of them finally stopped confronting each other as before, but the process that led to this result was something no one wanted to see.
Seven years ago, when they both reached the Jindan stage, the Hongyan Secret Realm was opened. It was a small secret realm that could only accommodate Jindan cultivators and below, and it had a very high safety index.
The sect wanted to ease the relationship between the two of them, so they asked them to lead a team together.
No one knew that long before they entered, an evil cultivator had used a special magical weapon he had picked up by chance, tore an entrance in a remote place, and ambushed in advance with a group of evil cultivators.
"To protect more righteous disciples, the two of them fought side by side for the first time, overdrawing their potential prematurely and leaving behind irreparable damage."
"Over the years, my master and I have searched through the entire pharmacopoeia, but we are still at a loss as to how to treat their injuries."
"They both accepted their fate and now manage the sect's affairs in an orderly manner. They never complain about anything."
