"Could it be that he suppressed his strength and didn't break through when he should have?"
Luo Fantian murmured to himself.
But he didn't think too much about it. He couldn't let external forces interfere with his promotion. For now, he should just do his best to protect Xie Zhou.
Lingfeng, who had been in the Frost Palace, suddenly opened his eyes, a look of seriousness in them. He quickly sat up cross-legged, formed hand seals, and frowned.
After a moment, he relaxed and sighed softly, "It seems that Xie Zhou has given me quite a few surprises."
Lingfeng couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, well, at least she has the ability to protect herself when she goes out, so I feel a little more at ease."
Lingfeng murmured a few more words.
Meanwhile, Xie Zhou felt the surrounding spiritual energy constantly being compressed into her body, and the originally abundant spiritual energy in her dantian was directly compressed into a small vortex.
After breaking through this barrier, Xie Zhou's strength directly surged towards the Nascent Soul realm.
While marveling at Xie Zhou's talent, Luo Fantian also envied him. In less than a year, his strength had approached that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. If word got out about this talent, it would surely make countless people envious.
However, Xie Zhou forcefully suppressed the aura that was approaching the Nascent Soul stage, turning it into a spiritual void.
"Hmm? Interesting."
Lingfeng sensed this aura, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Being neither arrogant nor impatient, and not being eager for quick success, is acceptable."
There aren't many people who can earn Lingfeng's praise, but Xie Zhou is one of them.
"That's it, a promising talent, worthy of being my disciple, hahaha."
Lingfeng, however, burst into laughter.
The fairies serving in the palace were startled.
However, Lingfeng quickly adjusted his emotions.
"Here, take this token. With this token, no one from the Martial Arts Pavilion can stop you from entering."
Lingfeng smiled, quite satisfied with Xie Zhou.
But Xie Zhou was still angry, and when he looked at Ling Feng, there was no smile on his face.
"Thank you, Master."
However, the token that Lingfeng gave was still very valuable. With this token, one could probably do whatever one wanted in the Sword Sect, let alone a small cultivation technique pavilion.
"I'll be away for a while. During my absence, you must not cause any more trouble."
Lingfeng looked at Xie Zhou and sighed with some unease.
"I understand, Master. If no one provokes me, I will certainly not provoke them."
Xie Zhou suppressed his temper and patiently spoke to Ling Feng.
Lingfeng seemed to sense Xie Zhou's temper as well, sighed, and left.
"Xie Zhou, you should treat your master better in the meantime."
Luo Fantian was both amused and surprised. Usually, it was the Immortal Venerable who gave others attitude, and no one had ever dared to show any attitude to the Immortal Venerable. Xie Zhou was the first one to do so, and the Immortal Venerable hadn't even said a word!
"knew."
Xie Zhou became somewhat impatient when the topic came up.
I wonder what's going on with Lingfeng always going out?
Xie Zhou thought to himself silently.
"Never mind, having the token is enough. At least it can't stop me from cultivating when he's not around."
Xie Zhou finally smiled happily.
"Let's go! Senior brother, let's go check out the cultivation technique pavilion now."
Xie Zhou had long been looking forward to the Sword Sect's cultivation technique pavilion. She had heard that there were several treasures in the pavilion that had been passed down from ancient times. She wondered if she, Xie Zhou, would have the opportunity to obtain these things.
"Hey, hey, you're going a bit too far. Those ancient items were all prepared for Luo Fantian."
The system's cold voice rang in Xie Zhou's mind again.
"Tch, so be it, let it be Luo Fantian. I didn't want to compete with him. He's the protagonist, I'll let him have it, okay? I'll just watch!"
Xie Zhou was a little angry. She had clearly felt the protagonist's aura, but Luo Fantian was right next to her and was trying to steal it away.
But thinking about it, I guess I should just let it go, since Luo Fantian is the real deal.
"Xie Zhou, Xie Zhou, what are you standing here for? Let's go over there quickly."
Seeing that Xie Zhou was lost in thought again, Luo Fantian called out to Xie Zhou twice in exasperation.
"Okay, let's set off now!"
Xie Zhou was so focused on arguing with the system that he almost ignored Luo Fantian.
"If I just follow Luo Fantian, wouldn't I have a chance to see that ancient treasure?"
Xie Zhou's little scheme was indeed quite clever.
As expected, long queues had already formed at the Sword Sect's cultivation technique pavilion as soon as the sun rose.
As is customary, we can only continue to wait, but fortunately, there are only three or four people ahead of Xie Zhou.
The wait wasn't long.
"You're Xie Zhou, right?"
At the entrance of the cultivation technique pavilion, a man with a disdainful expression looked Xie Zhou up and down.
"Yes, it's my turn now. Can I go in?"
Xie Zhou was somewhat excited.
"I'm sorry, but the Grand Elder specifically instructed that anyone can enter except you."
The man said it casually.
"Come on, come on, next one in."
After he finished speaking, he began to beckon Luo Fantian to enter the cultivation technique pavilion.
"No, why can't I go in? I'm a member of the Sword Sect too, right?"
Xie Zhou was very unhappy about this unfair treatment.
"This is the token given to me by the Immortal Venerable. Can I go in now?"
Xie Zhou was already angry, and now, thinking of that Grand Elder only fueled her anger. Why was that Grand Elder always haunting her, always there, and always opposing her?
"The token given by the Immortal Venerable is useless. The Sword Sect has a rule that only those who have no objections from the Immortal Venerable and the elders can enter the Cultivation Pavilion. But you are different. You must know how much trouble you have caused the Sword Sect."
The person guarding the cultivation technique pavilion seemed to be quite familiar with the Grand Elder. He used all sorts of tricks and persuasion, but to put it bluntly, he just wouldn't let Xie Zhou enter the cultivation technique pavilion.
"I'm going in today anyway, what can you do about it!"
Xie Zhou sneered, looking at the people from the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion, and could no longer hold back.
"You think you can defeat Young Master Bai with just a Great Perfection of the Fusion Realm? I wonder what kind of sorcery you used to make Lin Xi and Young Master Bai fight each other last time you defeated him."
The guard of the cultivation technique pavilion was not afraid at all, and his aura burst forth.
"The Grand Elder said that if Xie Zhou tries to force his way into the Cultivation Techniques Pavilion, I will handle everything!"
As the people from the Gongfa Pavilion were speaking, they raised their arms and grabbed at Xie Zhou's collar.
"You? You think you're worthy to speak to me?"
Xie Zhou sneered and grabbed the man's arm.
