Chapter 62: Master, You Don’t Really Think I’m Weak, Do You?
It was not that Daoist Tai Hua was being straightforward.
Most importantly, he knew what Su Changyu’s abilities were like.
‘How can he attend the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet at his current level of competency?’
‘Don’t you think it’s embarrassing?’
‘Ye Ping is a better candidate.’
Daoist Tai Hua looked at Su Changyu and was at a loss for words.
However, Su Changyu was not angry.
He simply looked at Daoist Tai Hua before speaking slowly.
“Master, you don’t really think I’m weak, do you?”
His voice was calm, but his gaze was full of confidence.
After hearing that, Daoist Tai Hua froze and stood rooted to the ground. Xu Luochen had also snapped back to his senses and was looking at Su Changyu with a look of surprise.
“Okay, I’ll teach Little Junior Brother the Sword Dao in the next few days. Master, I’ll have to trouble you to help me and Little Junior Brother with the registration. Buy some firecrackers too and get ready to set up a banquet to welcome the return of the champion and runner-up of the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.”
After saying that calmly, Su Changyu headed straight to the Dao Sect without even turning around, leaving behind only his lonely and proud back view.
After a long time, Xu Luochen’s voice slowly sounded.
“The highest level of deception is to deceive even yourself. Master, you’d better talk some sense into Senior Brother. Otherwise, if this goes on, Senior Brother will definitely have his legs broken after he goes down the mountain.”
Xu Luochen thought about it with a serious expression.
On the other hand, Daoist Tai Hua hadn’t been able to snap back to his senses and seemed to be a little upset.
“Master, don’t be so upset. Eldest Senior Brother must be reacting like this because he had been angered just now. You just need to counsel him a little.”
Seeing that Daoist Tai Hua did not speak, Xu Luochen couldn’t help but continue.
However, Daoist Tai Hua shook his head and said, “That’s not what I’m upset about. The thing is, Changyu actually had the cheek to pretend in front of me. He’s only going to get worse in the future.”
His tone was full of helplessness. He then walked towards the Qingyun Dao Sect.
There were many things that he had to deal with now.
Ye Ping’s painting was sold for 50,000 taels of gold.
They spent 20,000 taels of gold on building a superior-grade flying sword for Ye Ping and Daoist Tai Hua exchanged the remaining 30,000 taels of gold for some Spirit Stones and banknotes.
The Spirit Stones were meant for Ye Ping, and Daoist Tai Hua planned to use the remaining banknotes on building the Qingyun Dao Sect.
He should at least revamp the Qingyun Dao Sect.
They were about to advance to a third-rank sect soon. If the sect was still so shabby, it would be inappropriate.
Once they advanced to a third-rank sect, there would be many things that they had to spend money on.
However, Daoist Tai Hua was also clear that they would very likely have to rely on Ye Ping in order for the Qingyun Dao Sect to become stronger.
After the Qingyun Dao Sect advanced to a third-rank sect and they earned some money, they would return the profits made from the paintings to Ye Ping.
The most important thing that they had to do now was to develop the sect, which was his lifelong dream.
Daoist Tai Hua was stunned.
Xu Luochen was left alone.
He stayed silent.
He took a look at the sky and decided to head straight to the cliff since it was almost time. He decided to first set the mood. Otherwise, he might not be able to cry later.
Hence, in the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
For the past seven days, Daoist Tai Hua had been thinking about the future of the Qingyun Dao Sect and made preparations for all the minor matters.
In the past seven days, Su Changyu did not go to Ye Ping and instead brought the superior-grade flying sword to perform the Sword Kinesis Flight. That flying sword was bought for Ye Ping and it wasn’t that Su Changyu was reluctant to give it to Ye Ping, but rather, he just wanted to experience the thrill of Sword Kinesis Flight.
As for Xu Luochen, he had been living on the cliff for the past seven days and he seemed to have suffered a huge blow. No matter how others persuaded him, it was all to no avail.
However, at this moment on the rear cliff, terrifying spiritual energy came from all directions.
A dull sound came from Ye Ping’s body.
The ten spirit meridians in his body expanded before hiding in his body.
25 days of cultivation.
Ye Ping had officially completed the first recasting.
Yes, the first recasting.
Within those 25 days, Ye Ping broke through from the first level of Qi Refinement to the tenth.
He had also completed the recasting.
At this moment, he also understood how powerful the supreme Qi Refinement method was.
When one reached the tenth level of the Qi Refinement realm, it would be considered perfected.
However, after the recasting, the spirit meridians in his body would be doubled, which meant that his Dharmic powers would be twice as strong as others.
Ye Ping had an intuition that although he had recast once using that method, he was even stronger than when he was at the third or fourth level of Qi Refinement.
That was the result of just one recast.
What if he recast it 10 times? 20 times? Or 36 times?
Ye Ping did not dare to think about it.
The most important thing was that in the eyes of outsiders, he was still only at the first level of Qi Refinement.
It was an excellent means to confuse the enemy.
‘Think about it. If I recultivate five or ten times, I’d still look like I’m at the first level of Qi Refinement, but in reality, I’m already stronger than cultivators at the Foundation Establishment realm. Who would be able to take a sudden attack?’
Thinking of this, Ye Ping couldn’t help but be emotional.
‘Eldest Senior Sister is a supreme expert.’
However, Ye Ping neglected an important element. His constitution was different from that of ordinary people, and he had the Ancient Godfiend body. His normal cultivation was extremely strong and with that additional point, he was even stronger too.
At this moment, a ray of light suddenly appeared above the sky dome.
Next, a familiar figure appeared in front of Ye Ping.
It was... the eldest Senior Brother, Su Changyu.
Above the sky dome, Su Changyu was clad in a green robe and stepping on a green flying sword as he landed in front of Ye Ping like a supreme Sword Immortal.
His appearance made Ye Ping shocked.
Although he knew it was a world of immortal cultivation, it was his first time seeing Su Changyu controlling a flying sword.
Su Changyu looked very compatible with the image of a Sword Immortal and now that he had a flying sword, he looked more like a peerless Sword Immortal.
“Little Junior Brother, how have you been lately?”
Not far away, Su Changyu slowly walked down from the flying sword.
Looking at him, Ye Ping said calmly, “I’ve been fine lately. Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother.”
He snapped back to his senses and bowed.
“Eldest Senior Brother, what flying sword is that? Is that the flying sword that you usually use?”
After bowing, Ye Ping turned to look at the green flying sword, his eyes filled with curiosity.
He had never seen Su Changyu control a flying sword before, so he was naturally curious.
“No, there’s no flying sword that is worthy of me in this world. This is the Green Moon Dharmic sword, a superior-grade flying sword. Your Eldest Senior Sister has already taught you the Supreme Qi Refinement method. You’d need a flying sword sooner or later. However, considering that your level isn’t too high yet, I’ll give you a superior-grade flying sword for now, lest you don’t even have a decent weapon.”
Su Changyu continued trying to pretend to be impressive.
The superior-grade flying sword was worth 2,000 inferior-grade Spirit Stones and was the most precious treasure of the entire Qingyun Dao Sect.
Su Changyu was not boasting. If Daoist Tai Hua had bought such a sword for him back then, he would have achieved a place in the top 300 of the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet.
However, Su Changyu was aware that he would never be able to afford it in this lifetime.
‘A superior-grade flying sword!’
Except for the three great sects in Qingzhou, which other sects would be able to buy such a flying sword for their disciples?
For the past seven days, Su Changyu had been taking every moment to experience the thrill brought about by the flying sword. In fact, the more time he spent with the sword, the harder he found it to let go.
There had been several instances where Su Changyu thought about asking Daoist Tai Hua to give the sword to him.
However, he dismissed this impractical idea in the end.
After all, it would be good to be well-equipped, but that sword would purely be an ornament for him.
It would be better to give the superior-grade flying sword to Ye Ping who could at least put it to good use.
“Is this for me?”
In the next moment, Ye Ping was stunned.
He didn’t expect the flying sword to be a gift for him.
‘That’s too nice of them.’
‘I’m just a trainee disciple.’
‘Do trainee disciples get superior-grade flying swords too?’
‘Wouldn’t official disciples be given spiritual flying swords?’
‘Is this a hidden sect?’
‘I love it.’
“It’s just a superior-grade flying sword, what’s there to be happy about? Little Junior Brother, remember what I said. True Sword Dao powerhouses don’t rely on flying swords to become experts. Instead, the flying swords are good because of them.”
“Even if someone gives me a supreme-grade flying sword now, I won’t be bothered because I’m the one who’s strong, not the flying sword. Relying on external objects will eventually make me lose myself. Being strong by your own virtue is the true strength. Do you understand?”
Su Changyu looked a little stern.
Even he believed his own sophistry.
He had to admit that he was getting better and better at fooling his little Junior Brother.
“I’ve learned a lesson. In this case, I don’t want this flying sword anymore.”
Ye Ping’s gaze was full of determination.
However, after hearing his words, Su Changyu was a little awkward.
Ye Ping definitely had to accept the flying sword because Daoist Tai Hua probably wouldn’t let Su Changyu off if he found out that Su Changyu had pocketed the flying sword.
At the thought of this, Su Changyu coughed gently.
“There is no need to turn it down. The Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet is round the corner and this flying sword would be an advantage to you. Try your best to achieve a good ranking for the sect.”
Su Changyu said.
However, Ye Ping was stunned at the next moment.
“Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet?”
