Zhang Fengxian was noticeably shorter by half a head than the people around her, but for some reason, a large open space formed around her, as if everyone was intimidated by her awe-inspiring and proud demeanor, or perhaps her peerless beauty, making everyone feel inferior.

In short, no one dared to approach within a zhang of her, and she seemed to be like the moon surrounded by stars as the crowd clustered around her as she walked forward.

The graceful young girl had shining eyes and excitedly murmured to herself, "Good, good! An innate Fire Spirit Body, without traces of cultivation on the body yet possesses not weak pure Fire Spirit Power within. Around eight years old, not yet officially practicing cultivation, yet her cultivation has already reached the Qi Refining Third Layer. This girl is truly the Heavenly Dao's favorite!"

"Chang Wei, give the order immediately. No member of our sect should approach this girl. Our president will personally recruit her." The graceful girl finally made up her mind and immediately ordered her trusted aide.

Coincidentally, the other nine major societies unanimously targeted Zhang Fengxian, and issued similar orders.

Once the one-year newcomer protection period is over, a fierce competition for recruiting her was inevitable.

Zhang Fengxian had only been in the academy for a month but quickly displayed extraordinary intelligence, comprehending everything quickly, not only mastering but also able to deduce other knowledge from one. She seemed to have an innate knowledge.

Consequently, her fame spread rapidly, causing a huge sensation in the ten Foundation Establishment Cities.

In just two months, everywhere she went she became the focus of attention, with countless known or hidden gazes directed at this prodigy favored by the Heavenly Dao.

In contrast, another innate spiritual body who entered the academy in the same year seemed "hidden among others," although their fame wasn't small, it didn't cause the same "sensation" among the senior brothers and sisters.

To put it bluntly, every seven or eight cohorts, the Beihai Daoist Academy would welcome one or two innate spiritual bodies, but someone as "brilliant" as Zhang Fengxian was extremely rare.

Several months later, while her peers were attempting to advance to the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, Zhang Fengxian had already broken through to the Qi Refining Sixth Level.

In half a year, she went from a mortal to a Qi Refining Sixth Level Taoist, this cultivation speed nearly broke the record for the fastest cultivation in Beihai Daoist Academy.

If she could continue maintaining this breakthrough speed in the future, Zhang Fengxian breaking the academy's fastest Foundation Establishment record was a certainty, and not just this record; it might involve breaking a series of long-held academy records.

A year passed in a flash.

As Zhang Fengxian unbelievably broke through to the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, the Nascent Soul Realm experts in the Beihai Daoist Academy could no longer sit idly by.

After all, who wouldn't want to accept a natural prodigy?

In the Taisu Spiritual Realm, there were countless examples where a master who took a talented apprentice was later guided in cultivation by the disciple!

The ancient saying goes, when one person attains the Dao, even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven with them! Although it's not a pleasant saying, the logic holds true!

The first person who couldn't restrain himself was Vice Master Chen Danwang.

But before he could truly make a move, the Dean blocked him in his cave mansion on a dark and windy night. After some "honest and open" exchange, Chen Danwang had no choice but to admit that the Dean had acquired a great disciple with resentment.

Next, Daoist Qing Nian was the second one the Dean approached, the third was Dai Yiping, and then it was the various Nascent Soul Peak Masters' turn.

Merely after one night, all the bigwigs in the academy gave up on mentioning accepting disciples, while another innate spiritual body benefited, later being accepted under Daoist Qing Nian's tutelage.

After this upheaval, the Golden Core Masters of Beihai Daoist Academy were at a loss, not understanding why all the upper echelon bigwigs suddenly ceased their efforts overnight.

However, there were many smart people in the academy, and the sages were quickly enlightened by someone, realizing that Zhang Fengxian was already "promised" and her master's background was overwhelmingly significant.

Therefore, the uproar over accepting disciples started quickly and ended even quicker.

In Beihai Daoist Academy, most Golden Core Realm disciples swiftly learned of this matter, prompting the academy's ten societies to use their unique divine skills, trying to recruit Zhang Fengxian into their societies.

All of this was observed by Zhao Sheng, but he showed no intention of intervening.

No matter what choice Zhang Fengxian made in the future, he expressed his full support.

As for how to teach his disciple, Zhao Sheng had only two words: laissez-faire!

A nearly born-knowing prodigy, if subjected to constant admonishment and daily lectures, would instead be constrained by her innate talent, potentially ruining her in severe cases.

Letting her grow freely and wildly was the most appropriate way of teaching disciples.

Therefore, Zhao Sheng didn't teach Zhang Fengxian any cultivation methods, only told her three principles: First, a saint has no permanent master; second, among any three people walking, there must be someone to learn from, so disciples don't have to be inferior to the master, and masters don't have to be wiser than the disciples; third, those who imitate me in life will die by doing so!

Zhang Fengxian, with a natural Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, could comprehend immediately. She quickly understood the implication behind her master's words, and after joining the academy, she immersed herself in the Scripture Collection Peak to navigate through the Sea of Books.

In her first year at the academy, she chose to use the most basic Flame Technique from the Five Elements Qi Refining Technique as her main cultivation method, ignoring all other divine skill treasure books.

In her third year at the academy, Zhang Fengxian reached the Qi Refining Perfection and easily achieved a breakthrough in the time of a tea session, forming her Dao Foundation.

On the same day as her Foundation Establishment, her innate divine ability "Nirvana" awakened early.

That year, Zhang Fengxian, who achieved Foundation Establishment Success at eleven, truly made a tremendous impact throughout the Jinlan Spiritual Domain, and her fame quickly spread to nearby spirit domains, with the nearest dozens of Taoist academies learning that the Beihai Daoist Academy recently produced an innate prodigy.
