Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 398 - 396: Jiang Lingyue Advances to Tier Three Alchemist, Lu Ye’s Array Dao Breakthrough
The commotion made the former Red Cloud Fairy, Xiao Qingyin, find it strange, as it resembled something she had encountered before in the Sect Secret Realm...
Very similar?!
That time in the Sect Secret Realm, it was because of Lu Ye’s breakthrough that it triggered the abnormal celestial phenomena.
Now... could it be the same reason!
She was now in an area not far from the Red Cloud Sect, less than three thousand miles away.
After all, although she had stepped down, having served as the sect leader of the Red Cloud Sect for so long, Xiao Qingyin feared that if she left, the sect might immediately fall into chaos.
Therefore, since the last time she saw Lu Ye, Xiao Qingyin had been living in seclusion and cultivating in this area.
"Could he also be around here?" Xiao Qingyin calculated the time, realizing that the opening of the Yunyao Secret Realm was less than two months away.
Living in seclusion here over this period, she hadn’t noticed until suddenly realizing that more than a month had passed.
Meanwhile, in the Red Cloud Sect.
A thunderous explosion resounded, alerting many of the sect’s disciples and elders, with even the new sect leader of the Red Cloud Sect emerging from the main hall, gazing skyward.
Although her strength had not yet reached that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, she vaguely sensed something unusual from the thunder serpents in the sky.
Since assuming the position of sect leader, it was the first time she encountered such a strange event. After pondering for a moment, Qin Shuang immediately dispatched people to closely monitor the movements within a thousand-mile radius.
This celestial phenomenon didn’t last long and dissipated in just two minutes.
Inside a cave, Lu Ye slowly retracted his power, with the Source Qi flowing within him taking a significant step forward compared to when he was at the Sixth Layer.
Now, if he were to face the one-armed old man from before, Lu Ye could take him down within three moves.
Of course, if he had truly intended to kill the old man back then, all Lu Ye needed to do was use the newly acquired Heaven-Slaying Three Techniques or the Four Divine Seals, and he could have done so quickly.
However, for one, Nangong Xihua was present, and Lu Ye didn’t want to reveal too many trump cards in front of her.
Secondly, seeing the one-armed old man’s intention to flee, Lu Ye wanted to use him to explore what was peculiar about the white fog outside.
"The Seventh Layer, which is the late stage, indeed offers a substantial improvement over the Sixth Layer."
Lu Ye stood up, dusting off his clothes. Originally, he intended to visit the Eastern Territory to thank Ruxue for her previous assistance after his breakthrough.
But thinking about it, he was undoubtedly a wanted man in the Eastern Territory.
Many forces from the Celestial Curtain Prefecture and the Celestial Profound Sect were surely waiting in the shadows for his reappearance.
At this time, visiting Ruxue would only inconvenience her.
So after some thought, Lu Ye temporarily gave up on this idea.
On the other side.
The Wuxiang Sect at Wuxiang Mountain.
During this time, Jiang Lingyue, who had been deeply immersed in the path of alchemy, emerged from the Alchemy Room.
As she appeared at the entrance of the Alchemy Room, many disciples in the Alchemy Hall instinctively halted, casting envious and respectful glances at her.
Because, according to rumors, Jiang Lingyue had been attempting to reach the level of a Tier Three Alchemist in the Alchemy Room!
This progress was almost unprecedented in the history of the Wuxiang Sect in terms of alchemy advancement speed.
Once successful, it would signify Jiang Lingyue becoming the youngest Tier Three Alchemist within the Wuxiang Sect!
In the entire Northern Territory, she would become a highly coveted figure in Alchemy Dao.
In the hall, Su Liuying stood waiting at a certain spot, looking at Jiang Lingyue’s figure. She couldn’t help but smile slightly and asked, "How was it?"
Jiang Lingyue shyly smiled and said, "Master, I succeeded..."
These simple five words immediately stirred up a multitude of discussions within the Alchemy Hall.
Even the elder in charge of the Pill Hall came out at this moment, smiling and offering congratulations.
"Nephew Jiang, congratulations on your promotion to Tier Three Alchemist. Haha, indeed, young and promising. In the future, we will have to rely on people like you to carry on and promote the Wuxiang Sect."
The Pill Hall Elder came over, chuckling as he spoke.
If before, concerning Su Liuying taking on such an alchemy disciple, most elders in the Wuxiang Sect hadn’t paid much attention.
Now, envy arose in the hearts of these elders, and they felt it was like hitting the jackpot having such a disciple.
Previously, when she advanced to Tier Two, these elders saw Jiang Lingyue merely as an outstanding junior.
Now...
After advancing to Tier Three, her status and position could be equated to that of an Innate Realm elder!
The most important aspect of this disciple, how old is she?
Not even twenty-five!
In some sense, a Tier Three Alchemist of this age is much more valuable than some of the Innate Realm true disciples of major sects.
It’s relatively easy to find Innate Realm disciples in the Northern Territory, but Tier Three Alchemists, even with the older generation, how many are there?
"Thank you, Elder." Jiang Lingyue politely greeted the approaching elder from the Pill Hall.
At this time, Su Liuying was just beaming with joy.
The potential of this disciple, Su Liuying knew, had already surpassed her own.
Perhaps, the Tier Five Alchemy Master that hasn’t emerged in the Northern Territory for thousands of years will ultimately be achieved by her disciple!
However, amidst the various congratulatory voices surrounding her, Jiang Lingyue still didn’t seem very happy.
Only Jiang Lingyue knew that although she had become a Tier Three Alchemist,
there was still a long way to go before she could refine elixirs for Lu Ye to use.
"How exactly does this rascal cultivate? I feel like I’m almost squeezing myself dry, yet I still can’t keep up with his pace."
Jiang Lingyue thought, somewhat troubled.
In the hall, watching the seemingly unsatisfied newly-promoted genius Tier Three Alchemist, everyone felt a bit out of sorts.
Is this what makes a genius? Why does she still look unhappy?
At this moment, many disciples felt ashamed and lowered their heads.
This person works so hard and is still not satisfied, compared to them, it seems they are merely wasting time.
...
In the mountain cave.
After advancing, Lu Ye was still staying inside the cave.
He was currently delving into the study of Array Dao and practicing the newly acquired Heaven-Slaying Three Techniques.
"Besides cultivation during this time, I also need to diligently research arrays. If I can reach Tier Three or Four, it will also be a significant help."
The time spent in cultivation passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another three days went by.
Thanks to the Hundredfold Amplification, Lu Ye’s understanding in Array Dao, as well as the number of Array Patterns he could carve, progressed rapidly.
"About to advance to become a Tier Three Array Master."
On this day, emerging from the immersed state of carving array patterns, Lu Ye felt somewhat surprised.
Upon reaching Tier Three Array Master, his prowess in Array Dao could also rival that of an Innate Realm cultivator.
