She used to dream that others would call her a "genius" when they saw her. What is a genius? A genius is someone whose cultivation speed far surpasses that of everyone else!
Tianjun looked at her expression with satisfaction and slowly said, "The method to quickly improve your cultivation and break through to the Golden Core stage is not difficult; it just depends on whether you are ruthless enough to do it."
Fan Mingzhu's eyes flickered, eventually turning into a ruthless expression. On the path of cultivation, being ruthless to others is being ruthless to oneself. How can one shrink back in fear if one wants to achieve the Great Dao?
The two exchanged a glance and reached a tacit understanding.
In the following days, three members of the Divine Cauldron Sect went missing, causing widespread panic among the disciples. Most speculated that the Shadow Sect's conspiracy had spread to their Divine Cauldron Sect.
At the same time, the junior sister of the Divine Cauldron Sect finally revealed her talent in cultivation, advancing rapidly in one after another. Before setting off for the Langya Sect to participate in the Six Sects Grand Competition, she broke through to the Golden Core stage, becoming the fastest cultivator among this generation of disciples, which also ignited a glimmer of hope for the disciples in this Six Sects Grand Competition.
*
Winter had arrived, and snow was falling on the mountains of Langya Sect, but the sect itself was unusually lively.
The six major sects have gathered here to prepare for the Six Sects Grand Competition, which will be held in five days.
The sudden influx of so many people made the market town at the foot of Langya Mountain bustling with activity.
The newly arrived disciples, who enjoyed lively gatherings, would often go down the mountain in twos and threes to stroll through the market area of the Langya Sect.
With the weapon-refining sect behind them, disciples from various sects were very interested in the magical artifacts sold here and couldn't wait to come to the market to see them.
On the central street of Langya Sect Market, Lu Wenxing, accompanied by several disciples of Lianfeng Sword Sect, happened to run into the Shen brothers and their group.
Upon seeing Lu Wenxing, Shen Wuyang immediately stepped forward and greeted him warmly: "Fellow Daoist Lu! Long time no see!"
Lu Wenxing was naturally outgoing, and seeing the Shen brothers was like seeing long-lost brothers. He laughed heartily and patted them on the shoulders: "Good brothers! It's so good to see you two. Come on, let's have a drink."
The two groups hit it off immediately and actually went to the restaurant arm in arm.
As they walked, Shen Wuyang asked, "Fellow Daoist Lu, why didn't Fellow Daoist Shi come with you?"
"Haha, you've come to the right place," Lu Wenxing laughed. "She's busy having an epiphany in front of your sect."
Shen Wuyang: ...
He recalled the time he traveled with the Lianfeng Sword Sect on their spirit boat to the Luoyin Sect, and the bet they made on the way about whether Shi Xuan could achieve enlightenment at the sect. He had even won a few spirit stones from that bet.
He had originally thought that since Shi Xuan had saved his senior brother, he couldn't let her reputation be diminished, which was why he had bet on her achieving enlightenment. Who would have thought that when they arrived at the destination, she would actually achieve enlightenment immediately? He was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, and he still often thinks about it now, filled with emotion.
So, this time it's the turn of the Hidden Sect's mountain gate...
"Did you set up a betting game this time?" Shen Wuyang asked.
"What's the point of opening?" Lu Wenxing frowned in dissatisfaction and said, "These guys have all become cunning. They're betting everything on Junior Sister's enlightenment. What's the point of playing this game?"
Shen Wuyang twitched his cheek. It still comes down to Fellow Daoist Shi Xuan. Even something as simple as enlightenment has become universally acknowledged. Anyone who didn't know better would think enlightenment was as simple as just buying something on the street.
"Then why did you come out? Weren't you going to stay there and look around?"
“Master is watching over her,” Lu Wenxing laughed. “We’ve seen her so many times, it’s nothing new to us. We’d be waiting there until dark, so we might as well come out and have some fun with our junior brothers.”
Shen Wuyang...
This is the first time I've heard of someone getting so caught up in sudden enlightenment that it's lost its novelty. But then again, even he's seen it once.
"Sit down, sit down," Lu Wenxing pulled out chairs for the Langya Sect members to sit down first, then said with great magnanimity, "It's my treat today, order whatever you like."
After doing business with Shi Xuan a few times, Lu Wenxing, who was originally poor, had some money in his pocket. In addition, he had originally said that he would treat his junior brothers to a meal, so he was particularly generous at this moment.
However, after the menu arrived, he still kept an eye on Shen Wuyang and the others' hands as they ordered, hoping they would be sensible and not order the rare dishes on the last page.
However, things didn't go as planned. The Shen brothers, probably used to extravagance, deliberately chose to order from the most expensive page. If it were just one or two items, Lu Wenxing could grit his teeth and let it go, but it kept going on and on, and in the end, he couldn't afford to pay the bill…
Lu Wenxing subtly pushed the rest of the menu forward, saying, "There are still two pages left."
“We don’t need those two pages,” Shen Wuyang said without looking up. “I know this place best. Of these three pages of the menu, this one is the most delicious!”
Everyone knows this page is delicious, but the problem is that it's also expensive.
Seeing that the Shen brothers were still clicking through, Lu Wenxing broke out in a sweat: "Brothers, if we keep clicking through this page, I won't be able to afford it."
Although it was a bit embarrassing to say this in front of my junior brothers, at this point, saving face was no longer an option.
Shen Wuyang looked up from the menu and said to Lu Wenxing, "When we come to the territory of Langya Sect, how can we let Fellow Daoist Lu spend money? Besides, this restaurant is owned by my family, so there is no need to pay the bill."
Lu Wenxing: ...
I already knew the two brothers were wealthy, but I didn't expect them to be this wealthy. Lu Wenxing immediately perked up. The last page, right? I can just click on everything, why bother selecting anything!
Once the food and drinks were served, the group started chatting and exchanging toasts.
"I also went to Qingshui City to provide support. Fellow Daoist Shi Xuan's Exploding Pill is truly powerful, even more so than the offensive magic weapons we brothers crafted! I admire it!"
Lu Wenxing boasted, "That's a must! I was involved in making all these Exploding Pills; it wasn't easy at all!"
He Weiqing pursed her lips, glanced at Lu Wenxing, but ultimately remained silent.
They did participate; their job was to stand guard outside the door and prevent unauthorized people from entering.
Shen Wuyang immediately stood up and cupped his hands in greeting, showing great respect: "Brother Lu is amazing!"
"Of course, of course," Lu Wenxing laughed and returned the greeting.
Shen Wuyang sat down again and said, "By the way, Jubaozhai is organizing an auction the day after tomorrow. Are you interested?"
"An auction? Anyone can just walk in?"
“No,” Shen Wuyang put down his wine cup and said, “Everyone attending this Jubaozhai needs an invitation. I can still get a few invitations here. If Fellow Daoist Lu and Fellow Daoist Shi Xuan are free, they can come and join in the fun.”
"Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Shen!" Lu Wenxing, oblivious to the concept of politeness, readily accepted Shen Wuyang's invitation.
So, when Xuan finished her routine epiphany, she saw Lu Wenxing displaying an invitation letter in front of her.
From Jubaozhai's auction house? An auction house is great! Shi Baiwan puffed out his chest and said confidently, "Second Senior Brother did a good job. When we get to the auction house, just tell me what you like, and I'll buy it for you!"
