“Uh...” At this moment, the entire Taihua Grand Hall was incredibly silent. The disciples who had entered the sect with Ye Xuan were all dumbfounded.
“This... What is this?”
“Ye Xuan... Ye Xuan seems to have achieved Enlightment?!!”
“Am I seeing things?!!!”
“Didn’t the Sect Master and the others say that Ye Xuan has no spiritual roots?”
“Yeah, we haven’t even started Qi Gathering, and he has already reached Enlightment? Who really lacks spiritual roots here?!!!”
For them, Ye Xuan being able to achieve Enlightment was merely a shocking revelation. However, for Daoqin and the others at this moment, Ye Xuan being able to achieve Enlightment was nothing short of terrifying!
Yes, terrifying. Even those with great talent couldn’t achieve Enlightment in such a short time! The process from Qi Gathering to Enlightment is like a baby’s growth – no matter how talented, a baby needs time to grow, right?!!
How could anyone achieve Enlightment in such a short time, even those with legendary Immortal Roots couldn’t do this.
But the problem is, Ye Xuan clearly has no spiritual roots! “Could it be... a hidden spiritual root?” Daoqin pondered while looking at Ye Xuan. Indeed, some people have spiritual roots so deep that others can’t see them. But even for hidden spiritual roots, this was too incredible.
This rate of cultivation, unless Ye Xuan consumed a legendary pill that could directly make one an immortal, it’s hard to believe he achieved this through his own cultivation.
But the pills that can directly enhance one’s cultivation level are rare, and such powerful pills wouldn’t be used just for reaching Enlightment...
That would be a waste of the alchemist’s efforts. Such powerful pills are meant for ascension to immortality. There’s never been a pill known to directly achieve the Enlightment stage.
What exactly is going on?!
The surrounding elders were also staring at Ye Xuan with eyes wide in disbelief. They had seen with their own eyes that Ye Xuan had no spiritual roots.
It was already impressive enough that he could cultivate at all. Let alone manifesting the cultivation level of Enlightment at this moment!!
The chief disciple of Qingyan Peak, Yu Hao, and the second disciple, Yu Yu, were also looking at Ye Xuan, their eyes filled with incredulity.
“Brother Ye Xuan, to have such cultivation... it’s simply unbelievable!!!”
“Yeah, am I dreaming?!!”
“...” Hearing the shocked reactions of those around her, Yu Ling’er felt a secret sense of triumph. Hehe, she hadn’t expected Ye Xuan’s strength to be revealed so soon. Seeing everyone’s astonished expressions, unable to close their mouths in surprise, made her happy for Ye Xuan.
Now, he was the center of attention for everyone present. She thought that probably no one would ever say Ye Xuan had no spiritual roots again.
And what about her father, who had previously looked down on Ye Xuan and handed him over to Elder Qingxue? What was he feeling now?
With this thought, the filial daughter turned her gaze towards her father, Elder Qingyan. At this moment, the most shocked person there was undoubtedly Elder Qingyan.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Xuan. The aura of cultivation level that Ye Xuan was displaying was definitely that of Enlightment!!!
Ye Xuan had achieved Enlightment? Heavens, what kind of talent was this?!!! It had only been a few days...
Why hadn’t he noticed this before?!! At this thought, Qingyan’s expression changed dramatically. His gaze shifted to Yu Ling’er. He remembered his daughter once telling him that Ye Xuan had reached the Qi Gathering realm in just one day.
At the time, he didn’t believe her and even thought his daughter was being deceived by Ye Xuan, speaking well of him just to please her father.
Could it be—!!! Was what his daughter said true?!!
“...” When Elder Qingyan looked at Yu Ling’er in shock, she smiled smugly, her eyes seeming to say: You see, I told you so. You were the one who didn’t believe it, and now you regret it.
“Hiss–!!!” At that moment, he couldn’t help but take a sharp breath. It must be so. Damn, this wretched girl, such an important matter, and she kept it hidden from him?
He had only been momentarily disbelieving, couldn’t she have asked Ye Xuan to demonstrate his cultivation to him? Now, he had missed out on such an excellent disciple.
The more he thought about it, the more Elder Qingyan regretted it. If only he hadn’t handed Ye Xuan over to Qingxue. Now, the disciple was distinguished, and as a master, he would have been too. But now...
“Ah, congratulations, congratulations.”
“Congratulations, Elder Qingyan, you’ve taken on a great disciple.”
“Yes, yes, who would have thought, your daughter is exceptionally talented, and Ye Xuan’s talent is like an immortal being descending to earth. Could it be, he possesses a hidden Immortal Root?”
“Good for you, you picked up a bargain!!!”
Several elders crowded around Elder Qingyan, congratulating him.
“Uh...” Elder Qingyan’s face was a picture of embarrassment. He said, “I’ve said it before... Ye Xuan isn’t my disciple anymore, I’ve already given him to Elder Qingxue.”
“Hahaha, Elder Qingyan, you’re still joking with us. If I had such a good disciple, I’d fear someone finding out and would want to hide him.”
“Exactly, even the silliest person wouldn’t hand over such a disciple to someone else?”
“Elder Qingxue, no need to hide it now, everyone sees clearly now, Ye Xuan has such extraordinary talent, truly admirable. Perhaps in the future, he will lead the righteous path. You’re his master, you’ll be honored too!!!”
“Hmph!!!” Elder Qingqing also said, “Lucky you, Qingyan, to stumble upon such good fortune.”
“Ye Xuan really isn’t my disciple anymore... You can go ask Elder Qingxue.” At this moment, Elder Qingyan was utterly frustrated.
A disciple like an uncut jade, just about to show his unique brilliance, was taken away by Qingxue. And his daughter didn’t remind him, just watching him become the laughing stock. This was truly filial piety leading to the death of her father.
“Really?”
“Really?!!!”
The other elders were incredulous, saying to Qingyan, “Such a good disciple, and you were willing to let Elder Qingxue have him?”
“I...” Hearing this, Elder Qingyan was almost crying in frustration. “If I had known about Ye Xuan’s talent earlier, I would never have let him go to someone else!!!”
You guys, with your sarcastic remarks, still asking why!!!
“What?”
“You say you didn’t know about Ye Xuan’s incredible talent?”
“Right after Ye Xuan joined, didn’t you test his progress in cultivation?”
“Hahaha... It seems, Elder Qingyan, that you must have looked down on Ye Xuan and were too lazy to check his cultivation progress daily.” Elder Qingguang laughed on the side.
“Uh...” Hearing this, everyone showed an awkward expression. If that was the case, it was indeed quite amusing. They all secretly sneered. Elder Qingyan really missed out, such a good disciple, if only he had tested Ye Xuan’s cultivation progress once, he would have realized how talented Ye Xuan was.
But for so many days, he never tested Ye Xuan. He had just given away such a good disciple for nothing.
These guys—!!!
Noticing the mocking looks from everyone, Elder Qingyan’s face turned ashen. If they had found Ye Xuan, wouldn’t they have underestimated him just like he did? What right did they have to mock him!
And at the moment when Ye Xuan revealed his Enlightment cultivation, Qin Yushou, who was standing in front of him with a smile, was also utterly shocked. He thought the same as most people present.
Impossible, even the Sect Master had said that Ye Xuan had no spiritual roots, how could he possibly cultivate to this extent? And in just a few days. Absolutely impossible—!!!
But the reality in front of him made it impossible not to believe. After the shock, Qin Yushou’s eyes also showed a complex mix of bitterness and jealousy.
Why, a person who was considered worthless, could suddenly show such extraordinary talent. If he had such talent, he would have become an immortal long ago—!!!
Reluctantly forcing a smile, he said to Ye Xuan, “Hehe... Brother Ye Xuan, it turns out, you’ve hidden so deep that even the Sect Master and the others didn’t know how talented you are.”
Ye Xuan just gave Qin Yushou a cold look, seemingly with a hint of contempt. At this moment, Qin Yushou felt even more aggrieved. Well, I’m being nice to him, and he just ignores me, looking down on me, right?!!
Although he had many unpleasant thoughts, Qin Yushou felt his smile was quite amiable. With his temperament, how could anyone not respond politely to him?
Why would Ye Xuan look down on him—!!! No matter how good your talent is, I will make sure you have a hard time in Taihua. Hmph—!!!
At this time, seeing Ye Xuan blatantly ignoring him, Qin Yushou could only leave resentfully. But in front of everyone, he still maintained a polite demeanor: “It seems Brother is unwilling to speak with me, then I won’t bother you anymore.”
He wanted to show everyone in Taihua that talent isn’t everything, a person’s character is also important.
“Brother Ye Xuan, didn’t expect you to be so talented—!!!”
“But treating Brother Yushou like that, wasn’t very nice, was it?”
“Yeah.” The brothers around Ye Xuan also questioned him.
“Fellow brothers, I’m sorry, I’m a bit straightforward. When Brother Yushou deliberately came over to talk, he was leering at Ling’er, and I didn’t think he seemed like a good person,” Ye Xuan said directly.
“Pfft—!!!” Hearing this, Qin Yushou almost spat blood. God, leering at Yu Ling’er, when did he ever do such a thing?
