I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 145 - 122: Untitled (Revised)

The scorching sun blazes high, the fiery clouds seem ablaze.

At Heavenly Killing Peak, the Five Sword Sect Sons of the Guiyuan Sword Sect each occupy a platform, sparring with the disciples of the Heavenly Interference Sect.

Zhuo Qingfeng and Lu Nanzhi’s platform is crowded with people shoulder to shoulder, bustling with activity.

The two went back and forth, fighting fiercely, unable to determine a winner for the moment.

Xie Jingshan, with his face concealed, squeezed into the crowd and found Shen Huaxi, tapping his shoulder, "I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Do you have any way to make me seem like I have a serious illness that’s actually harmless?"

Shen Huaxi, having recognized Xie Jingshan, asked in confusion, "Why is that?"

Xie Jingshan dodged the inquisitive gazes from the people nearby, "These Five Sword Sect Sons are too fierce. I need to avoid the sharp edge. If I don’t fight, I can still talk big; if I fight and lose, where will I show my face?"

Shen Huaxi chuckled, "Senior Sister Lu and Senior Sister Jiang are both heroes among people, and Brother Jingshan how can you be so uncompetitive? By the way, why haven’t I seen Senior Sister Jiang lately?"

"She’s receiving enlightenment from the Supreme Elder. I have understood her pulse now; when she comes out this time, she’s sure to scare everyone. I still have to feign illness; otherwise, it’s too embarrassing. Come, come, let’s go, we’ll do some acupuncture."

Xie Jingshan forcefully dragged Shen Huaxi away.

On the platform, Lu Nanzhi and Zhuo Qingfeng marked the end of their match, a draw.

Lu Nanzhi looked towards Heavenly Leisure Peak and sighed, "Little Bai was right, fighting on the platform is boring!"

Turning her head, she saw Xu Qianjin and recalled her saying to use softness to overcome hardness, so she walked over.

"Senior Sister Xu, Nanzhi wishes to seek guidance on swordsmanship, could you honor me by coming to my courtyard to drink tea?"

Xu Qianjin collected her sword into its sheath, responding generously, "Sure, I’d love to taste the Cloud Mist Immortal Tea here."

Lu Nanzhi and Xu Qianjin flew one after the other to Heavenly Sword Peak, using Sword Control.

Beneath them, Xie Jingshan dragged Shen Huaxi all the way to the sparsely populated woods of Heavenly Wisdom Peak.

"Brother Jingshan, do you know Senior Sister Jiang’s age? I always feel she’s about the same as me, yet she’s much more formidable, earning admiration from everyone."

"Why are you always asking about her? Tomorrow I’ll ask her what year and month she was born. Have you decided yet, how should I apply the needles?"

"Let’s do it here, it may hurt a bit, Brother Jingshan, don’t scream."

"Alright, go ahead... Hmm ahhhhhh!"

...

At the top of Heavenly Wisdom Peak, in the grand hall.

Li Fantao sat at the head, after sipping tea offered by Ge Yuchan, watching her bow and call out ’Master.’

Li Fantao lifted Ge Yuchan up, "I didn’t hold a formal apprentice ceremony for you, do you bear any grudge? Speak the truth."

Ge Yuchan hesitated a moment, nodding, "I was a bit... unhappy."

Li Fantao, ordinary in appearance with a gentle temperament, exuded some wisdom in his eyes.

"In the future, say what you think; here, there’s no need to hide. I’ve always kept a low profile in the Heavenly Interference Sect, having cultivated to Mid-Stage Nascent Soul, I’ve only taken you as a disciple. I know you want to stand out and astonish others, but I must warn you."

"Without the strength to tower over the forest, commonness is the true path. To be ordinary does not mean you aren’t important; every person among the masses has their role, all are indispensable parts in the operation of the Heavenly Dao. Do not belittle yourself, sometimes ordinary is a form of protection and freedom."

Ge Yuchan looked up, gazing steadily at Li Fantao.

"True Monarch Fuyi was a renowned strongman since childhood, yet was weighed down by false fame, lost his true self, and bred a Heart Demon, so I hope you won’t concern yourself with others’ eyes, seek peace and contentment within yourself." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Yes, disciple will heed Master’s teachings."

Ge Yuchan seemed to understand partially, yet felt the sincerity in Master’s concern for her.

"Good, next, I will personally teach you the cultivation technique of Heavenly Wisdom Peak..."

...

In the verdant bamboo shade, amid the fog.

"Yun Shang, wait a moment."

Yuu Qiuqi hurriedly stopped Yun Shang outside the corridor of the Cultivation Room. Yun Shang furrowed her brow and stepped back.

Yuu Qiuqi cautiously, not daring to come too close, handed a storage pouch to Yun Shang.

"I know you’re about to enter seclusion for Foundation Establishment, these things are..."

Yun Shang immediately declined, "I appreciate Master Yuu’s kindness, I’ve come to understand many things now. Although I no longer hate you, I also do not wish to have too much interaction with you; you needn’t try to please me everywhere."

After hearing Yun Shang say she didn’t hate, Yuu Qiuqi’s smile was like sunlight after the rain, blossoming brightly.

"You’ve misunderstood; actually, these things were entrusted to me by your parents, for you to receive when you establish your foundation."

Yun Shang looked up in surprise, fixing her gaze on Yuu Qiuqi’s eyes to determine the truth of her words.

"Is it really left by my parents?"

Yuu Qiuqi replied firmly, "Yes, inside is a letter from them to you, be sure to read it before your Foundation Establishment."

Yuu Qiuqi stepped forward, pressing the storage pouch into Yun Shang’s hands, "I wish you success in your Foundation Establishment, attaining the Upper Three Grades Dao Platform."
