Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Genius Deserves Attention (Part 2)

"All the cultivation techniques and arts in the Sect are open to me? Including the top-level techniques, supreme arts, and even Great Divine Powers?" Yang Ji swallowed hard, truly somewhat astonished. The Sect's offer was too good to be true, so good that he felt it was somewhat unreal. Could it be a pyramid scheme?

Ling Gu True Monarch laughed and said, "It's not that we give you the entirety of it all at once, but rather we provide them to you one scroll at a time for you to comprehend. Once you have mastered one, you can continue to apply to learn the next."

"In this process, the greater your exhibited potential and understanding, the corresponding standard of treatment will be elevated."

"Never mind the top-level techniques and arts, if you are outstanding enough, the Sect would eagerly present all Divine Arts before you for your cultivation. Besides, haven't you already learned half of a Great Divine Power from Sword Dao Shadows?"

Ling Gu True Monarch paused for a moment, then continued, "Talented disciples are the most valued in our Canglan Sect. As long as you perform exceptionally well, the Sect will provide you with the corresponding cultivation resources. We are certainly not stingy like other Sects, where disciples have to fight to the death for a mere Medicine Pill. That doesn't happen in our Canglan Sect."

"If a Sect is afraid of wasting resources and doesn't cultivate its outstanding disciples, one can only say that the Sect is shortsighted."

"A Sect's enduring prosperity is not dependent on numbers, but on top cultivators."

"A Divinity Transformation supreme can ensure the Sect's strength, and a Void Refining Expert can push the Sect to new heights."

"The Sect spares no effort in nurturing Chang Xiao because the potential he has shown in his cultivation is unmatched, and the entire Sect treats him as a Void Refining Seed."

"The Sect will not suppress talent, for talent is the Sect's future."

"If your exhibited aptitude and understanding are as outstanding as Chang Xiao's, then the Sect will spare no effort to find you Spiritual Objects that can enhance your Spiritual Roots. All you need to do is focus on your cultivation."

"Further, the opportunity to go to Dao Sect will include you as well."

"Dao Sect, that is where Loose Immortals reside, Immortal Artifacts, Immortal Qi, Immortal Pills, and a variety of unimaginable and supremely powerful Divine Skills and secrets exist. If one can join the Dao Sect, it is truly like one foot stepping into the Immortal Realm, an immense stroke of fortune."

"Young friend, since you were able to comprehend a technique and a half from Sword Dao Shadows, it seems you are fated with our Canglan Sect. If you were to join our Sect, you would surely shine brightly and your prospects would be limitless."

Ling Gu True Monarch paused, then smiled and said, "Of course, whether you join or not, all of this still depends on your personal desire."

Such benefits were irresistible, and Yang Ji would be lying if he said he didn't want to join. However, thinking of his own cultivation and qualifications, he hesitated, then said, "Senior, I am currently at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining. Do I qualify to join the Sect?"

"You are at the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining with a Lower-grade Spiritual Root. According to the rules, you would be able to join as an External Affairs Disciple in three years. To maintain the Sect's rules, I will personally come to fetch you in three years," Ling Gu True Monarch pondered, then suddenly spoke.

"There is no need to trouble the True Monarch. When the time comes, I will make my way there on my own," responded Yang Ji, truly overwhelmed by such favor. The Sect held talent in high esteem indeed.

Li Changxiao glanced at Yang Ji and narrowed his eyes slightly before transmitting to Ling Gu True Monarch, "Uncle-Master, the rules restrict the mediocre. With the brother's understanding, he is fully qualified for an exception to the rules. Why wait three years?"

"Chang Xiao, the human heart is multifaceted, and good and evil are hard to discern. You wouldn't want the Sect to cultivate an evil person, would you? These three years will be a chance to observe his temperament," replied Ling Gu True Monarch through transmission.

"Then let's follow Uncle-Master's advice," agreed Li Changxiao with a silent nod.

"Young friend, with that being said, let's agree on this: I will wait for you in the Sect in three years," Ling Gu True Monarch said, smiling as he stood up. Yang Ji and Li Changxiao followed him out of the secret chamber.

He hadn't gone far when Nascent Soul True Monarch Ling Gu turned back and said, "By the way, young friend, why don't you come and live on Changhuan Island with me? Whatever you need, you can just tell me, and I can look after your safety as well."

"No thank you, senior, I've gotten used to living here." Living under the supervision of a Nascent Soul True Monarch was a bit too much for Yang Ji, and he immediately shook his head and politely declined.

"In that case, I will send a Golden Core Disciple to be your protector for the next three years, to ensure your safety," Nascent Soul True Monarch Ling Gu added.

"Senior, there's really no need, I am Yang Ji's elder brother, am I not his protector? I, Mang Biao, can guarantee his safety!" Mang Biao stepped forward and vigorously patted his chest.

"Yes, senior, with Brother Mang Biao here, there shouldn't be many in the Demonic Stench Sea who can hurt me." Yang Ji understood Nascent Soul True Monarch Ling Gu's thoughts; sending someone over was half for his protection and half to keep an eye on him.

Just thinking about someone watching his every move made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Mang Biao was somewhat better, though. Although he also kept an eye on him, it was only to prevent him from leaving the island and did not interfere with his life, which allowed him a lot more freedom.

And now that he had established a relationship of "brothers in the Dao" with Li Changxiao, even if Mang Biao were lent a hundred times his boldness, he would not dare do anything to harm him, so he once again declined Nascent Soul True Monarch Ling Gu's kind offer.

Mang Biao, hearing Yang Ji speak such words, was naturally overjoyed, incessantly fawning and winking, a far cry from his past rough and domineering air, becoming the very image of a little lackey. It seemed for the sake of treating his condition, he too was all in. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"If that's the case, very well!"

Nascent Soul True Monarch Ling Gu sized up Mang Biao and said to Yang Ji with a smile, "Young friend, for the next fifty years, it's my turn to guard Changhuan Island, meaning for most of that time I will be in the Demonic Stench Sea region. If you need anything, you can always come and find me."

"Anytime? What identity does this Yang Ji have to make a greatly admired Nascent Soul True Monarch treat him so well?" Mang Biao stared at Yang Ji, his eyes rolling around, utterly baffled, and at the same time, he began harboring thoughts of currying extra favor.

When even a Nascent Soul True Monarch values someone highly, holding onto their coattails can never be wrong!

"Thank you for your profound kindness, senior. If there is any need, I will certainly come and trouble senior," said Yang Ji, bowing respectfully.

"Well then, I'll return to Changhuan Island now. Chang Xiao, what about you? Would you like to visit the island?" Nascent Soul True Monarch Ling Gu looked toward Li Changxiao.

"No thank you, Master Uncle, I plan to return to the sect," Li Changxiao said.

"Hmm, very well," Nascent Soul True Monarch Ling Gu gave everyone a glance, then soared into the sky, vanishing into the horizon.

"Junior brother, in three years, I will be waiting for you in front of the sect," Li Changxiao said with a slight smile, then leaped up into the sky, swiftly becoming a speck that disappeared from view.
