“Senior Sister, I earned it from doing a task.”

Han Ye respectfully saluted with a fist.

Now that his Senior Sister had been promoted to a direct disciple and officially became Elder Gai’s right hand, it implied that her power was beyond Golden Core realm. She was someone he could not offend at all.

“You, an Outer Sect disciple, have earned enough Spirit Stones from doing a task to buy a Magic Treasure?”

Sister Shen looked at him incredulously.

“Junior Brother, don’t try to lie to me.”

Han Ye could only give a bitter smile, and then elaborately explained the process of his task and how the Elder increased the rewards.

“You encountered a Demon Cultivator?”

Upon learning of the peril Han Ye faced during his task, Senior Sister Shen’s complexion softened.

“Yes, fortunately, Chu Xianyu was there, and we averted the worst-case scenario.”

Han Ye skipped over the difficulties related to his Veil and directly mentioned that Chu Xianyu took action and killed the Demon Cultivator.

Shen Yuxiang pondered, “It’s no wonder that Chu Xianyu came out as head of swordsmanship. With a mere Qi Cultivation, she killed someone in the Foundation Establishment Realm so effortlessly. It seems that our ranking in this year’s Sect Big Competition may be in jeopardy. Ziwei Peak is formidable indeed.”

She then raised her head and said to Han Ye earnestly:

“It might have been dangerous, but you shouldn’t slack off in your training. The Master has entrusted you to me to undergo a transformation under my guidance. For the next few days, be obedient and stay in the Sect to cultivate. Don’t go anywhere else and keep practicing the ‘Hanshan Five Elements Gang’ boxing technique.”

Senior Sister’s words left no room for argument, so Han Ye didn’t protest. Instead, he nodded in agreement:

“Even if Senior Sister didn’t say it, I wouldn’t go out. It’s still risky outside the Sect. Let’s wait until I break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. As for the boxing technique, if it’s just the technique and not the Fist Intent, that’s easy. The day Master demonstrated, I already learned fifty percent of the technique.”

“All it took was one demonstration by the Master and you learned half?”

Shen Yuxiang wore a skeptical expression.

It’s not surprising that she doubted him. In the past few days, she had been training Lin Shihuang and other outstanding Outer Sect disciples, and even after two days and nights, they only managed to master thirty percent of the technique.

But Han Ye had grasped fifty percent by merely watching once?

Han Ye nodded slightly and said, “Yes, if Senior Sister doesn’t believe it, I can demonstrate it for you.”

Shen Yuxiang stepped back a few steps, making room.

Han Ye understood immediately, took a deep breath, circulated his Dantian, and began to demonstrate ‘Hanshan Five Elements Gang’ without magic. It was a primitive, youth-version.

“Whoosh!”

“Boom!”

Shen Yuxiang watched Han Ye’s smooth execution of the boxing technique and couldn’t help nodding her head.

Every move was filled with power, clearly showing his proficiency in the technique. It was enjoyable to watch as the technique blended seamlessly with his movements.

Fist Techniques are exhibited, and Fist Intent manifested.

If you want to truly master ‘Hanshan Five Elements Gang’, you must grasp the Fist Intent. With the aid of formidable magic, this will allow you to exhibit extraordinary power, even able to split a mountain with ease.

Han Ye indeed didn’t lie. He had a solid foundation.

Seeing that it was enough, Shen Yuxiang called for a stop.

“That’s enough. Your talent is indeed exceptional, beyond my expectations. Even Master has underestimated you. But I hope you can utilize this aptitude to fully learn the skill.”

“The position of Big Disciple in the Outer Sect? I think you have a good chance. The Big Disciple is entitled to receive a Foundation Establishment Pill when they breakthrough the Foundation Establishment.”

A hint of a smile crept onto Shen Yuxiang’s face as she spoke in a tempting tone.

“Senior Sister, do you say this to everyone?”

Han Ye asked seriously.

Shen Yuxiang’s face turned cold as she huffed, “Of course not! What kind of person do you think I am?”

“You do have more qualifications to compete for the position of Big Disciple than others. They have been practicing for two days, yet they aren’t as fast as you learned from watching once.”

“So that’s how it is. I apologise for my mistrust,” Han Ye said very regretfully.

At the same time, he deeply felt the power of the “Unparalleled Fist Intent”, which let him comprehend the divine power contained in a fist faster than most people.

“Senior Sister, can I ask you a favor?”

Han Ye glanced at the vast Spirit Fields and said sincerely.

“What is it?”

“Can I have a few acres of land to plant something?”

“Are you going to plant spiritual medicines?”

“Yes, I’d like to give it a try.”

Shen Yuxiang waved her hand and said, “Of course, you can. Pure Yang Peak doesn’t have many Spirit Fields. The main reason is that not many people know how to cultivate them. They can only be wasted by leasing them out or planting some useless Spirit Flowers for show off. It’s not a problem to give you several acres or even fifty, as long as you master the cultivation methods.”

“Understood, there is one more thing…”

“What else?”

Shen Yuxiang frowned. Han Ye hadn’t improved much in his skills, but he had certainly become more troublesome.

Han Ye plucked up the courage to finish his sentence, “Uh… I adopted a Spirit Pet, but I fear that the sect might treat it as a demon from the Demon Race. Can we petition the sect to bestow it a title?”

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuxiang’s eyebrows furrowed deeper.

“This is a big deal, and I cannot decide it. It requires elder’s approval.”

“You should know that the beasts and birds in the sect are either raised from a young age or marked by an elder’s spiritual force, all of which pose no threat to the sect.”

“Your case is neither of the two. The process for granting a title is not short.”

“As long as there is a chance.”

A glint of hope appeared in Han Ye’s eyes.

Shen Yuxiang irritably said, “Given your current abilities, I don’t think the Master will agree. When you learn the Hanshan Five Elements Gang, or when you achieve a good ranking in the sect’s Big Competition for Pure Yang Peak, your chances will perhaps increase.”

Han Ye was not stupid, and he quickly understood.

The unspoken meaning was clear – he should increase his own value.

The elders of the sect wouldn’t bother with the tedious process of granting a title to an outer sect disciple for no reason.

In other words, he must prove his worth.

“I understand, Senior Sister.”

Han Ye nodded heavily.

“It’s best if you understand.”

Shen Yuxiang sighed softly, “Hurry up and cultivate. When you become more powerful one day, all these things won’t matter. Don’t forget, there is an extra practice session tonight.”

After leaving him with these words, she left.

Watching her retreating figure, Han Ye secretly vowed to work hard. First of all, he had to clear up the Spirit Fields in front of him.

Coming into the fertile spirit soil.

He mobilized his True Qi, cast the Mud Binding Technique, and the lumps of soil that had solidified together were all loosened, which was perfect for soil loosening.

Originally, it was a small spell for binding enemies with mud, but now it could be used for soil loosening.

He took bags of seeds out of his ring, threw them into the loosened soil.

Again, he cast a Spirit Rain Technique to water and moisten these seeds.

He took out a previously borrowed “Comprehensive Guide to Spirit Medicine Planting” and put it to use: “Dragon Sleep Grass matures in six months, Blazing Sun Fruit in ten months, Evergreen Ivy Leaf in three months…”

“The spiritual plants grown by me can be slightly accelerated. I wonder how much faster they can be.”

Han Ye muttered, wondering.

All these things were his capital to make a fortune.
