Shen Xuan slowly raised his head.

Looking directly at Master Yang, he firmly said, "Shen Xuan was born a commoner and has come this far. No matter how difficult life has been, I've never wronged a friend!"

Master Yang nodded slightly.

In the void, spiritual light surged, and ripples spread.

Master Yang's figure, like a vast world, carried some mysterious and profound domain rules.

Just one glance, and you would be deeply attracted, wishing to throw yourself into it, becoming a small part of his shadow.

"Let me see your strength!"

"Strike with all your might!"

Shen Xuan stood up.

He took a deep breath.

The spiritual power in his dantian rapidly began to circulate.

[Water Control Technique]!

[Iron Bone Technique]!

[Critical Strike Technique]!

[Overturning Rivers and Seas Technique]!

[Condensed Water Blade Technique]!

[Water Spirit Gathering Essence Technique]!

[Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique]!

As Shen Xuan continuously changed the spells in his hand, a Water Qi Sword Qi formed in front of him.

Seven Skills Combined!

Streaks of Water Qi carried a terrifying aura of destruction, slowly spreading into the surrounding space.

"Charge!"

At Shen Xuan's shout, the Water Qi Sword Qi sliced through a space channel, shooting straight toward Master Yang.

Qin Yuehan's beautiful face was full of astonishment.

She had never seen Shen Xuan make a move before.

The momentum and power of [Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique] were truly terrifying!

For a moment, she seemed to see a dazzling sword light filled with the Qi of heaven and earth origins.

Under the sword light, immortals and gods bled, and the blue sky wept.

At this moment, Qin Yuehan began to deeply doubt her own strength.

She had been in the Foundation Establishment for twenty-seven years.

Never had she seen a Foundation Establishment cultivator wield such terrifying spells!

Shen Xuan was just a loose cultivator, and a water cultivator recognized in the cultivation realm as having the weakest attack power.

"Very good!"

Master Yang rarely gave a compliment.

He pointed a finger at the Water Qi Sword Qi.

A seven-colored divine light shone up, seemingly with a life of its own, wrapping around the Water Qi Sword Qi layer by layer, dissolving and melting it.

"Shen Xuan, you are quite remarkable!"

Master Yang's gaze fell on Shen Xuan.

"Since settling at Little Gu Peak, I haven't taken a male disciple."

"For Yuehan's sake, I can make an exception this time."

"I'll first take you as a registered disciple!"

"Help me with one thing, and after completion, you can become a direct disciple!"

Shen Xuan did not hesitate, immediately dropping to his knees, kowtowing with the ritual of three bows and nine obeisances.

"Disciple Shen Xuan, thanks the master!"

Master Yang sat still, accepting Shen Xuan's three bows and nine obeisances.

"I wonder what task the master needs the disciple to accomplish?"

Master Yang's expression was leisurely.

"I once had a close friend from the Su family of Feiyun Mountain."

"You will go to Feiyun Mountain in Cyan Yang Prefecture and support the Su family for thirty years."

"After thirty years, with your merits complete, you can return to the sect."

"I will then take you as a direct disciple, how about it?"

Shen Xuan quickly responded, "The disciple obeys the master's command."

Master Yang was in a good mood.

"Yuehan!"

Qin Yuehan stepped forward and saluted, "Disciple here."

"Take my jade token and accompany Shen Xuan to handle the formalities of joining the sect. Exchange a [Divine Hidden Sea Technique] inheritance for him from the Scripture Pavilion as a reward for supporting the Su family!"

"Yes, master."

Afterward, Master Yang waved them away.

Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan bowed and took their leave, exiting the grotto heaven blessed land of Little Gu Peak.

"Let's go back!"

Qin Yuehan rode on a cloud scarf, taking Shen Xuan back to Cold Moon Pavilion.

Next, Qin Yuehan took Shen Xuan to handle the entry formalities for the sect and exchanged for a [Divine Hidden Sea Technique] inheritance.

What seemed incredibly difficult to him was easily solved by Master Yang's words.

This made Shen Xuan realize even more clearly the importance of strength.

With strength comes status, and with status comes more benefits.

In this respect, there is no difference between the cultivation world and the mortal world.

Returning to Moon Cold Pavilion.

Lv Zhengying came upon hearing the news.

"Shen Xuan, Master Yang accepted you as a disciple?"

"A registered disciple."

"A registered disciple is good too!"

There was undisguisable envy in Lv Zhengying's eyes.

"Shen Xuan, you are really lucky! And that's Master Gu Feng! You'll understand in time!"

Shen Xuan didn't ask further questions.

The task was not yet completed.

He didn't dare to act recklessly under Master Yang's name.

Upon hearing that Shen Xuan would support the Su family of Feiyun Mountain in Cyan Yang Prefecture for thirty years.

Lv Zhengying quickly found a previously collected Intelligence Jade Scroll on cultivation clans in Song Country and handed it to Shen Xuan.

"I knew it, this information would come in handy!"

...

The night was deep, the moonlight like water.

Cold Moon Pavilion, guest room.

Shen Xuan had no sleepiness.

In his heart, he silently reviewed his recent gains and losses.

This time, he owed Qin Yuehantian a great favor again.

There was no helping it.

The cultivation world is a place of strict hierarchies and rigid classes.

For the inheritance of the [Divine Hidden Sea Technique], he could only shamelessly rely on connections once more.

Fortunately, all went smoothly without any real danger.

He finally joined the Cyan Cloud Sect, becoming a registered disciple.

But why did his master want him to support the Su family for thirty years?

Shen Xuan pondered in his heart.

The master asked him to go all out.

In fact, he only used seventy percent of his strength.

Despite that, Shen Xuan's Seven Skills Combined [Immortal-Slaying Water Qi Technique] was enough to instantly kill an ordinary middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Yet before the master, it was vulnerable.

The gap in strength between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation is more than ten times!

And the master was merely an ordinary Core Formation True Master.

And a weaker female cultivator!

This instantly sobered Shen Xuan.

When a cultivator reaches Foundation Establishment Perfection and attempts Core Formation, they respectively condense into a Golden Core, True Pill, or Fake Pill.

The strength of a Golden Core is the most powerful, with the greatest potential.

When forming the core, the spiritual power, divine soul, and flesh body of a Golden Core cultivator are three to five percent stronger than those of a True Pill cultivator.

As time progresses, the gap between the two widens increasingly.

And Lei Yaoyang's master is one of the few Golden Core True Masters of the Cyan Cloud Sect.

From hiring Master Ge to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill to challenging the Foundation Establishment, Lei Yaoyang has been persistently causing trouble.

This made Shen Xuan very upset.

In the fast-paced web novels he read in his past life, he ought to have immediately killed Lei Yaoyang, grinding his bones to dust to soothe his mind.

Unfortunately, this is the real cultivation world.

When one lacks strength, being bullied at will is commonplace.

"Why is Lei Yaoyang so keen on marrying Qin Yuehan?"

Shen Xuan did not believe that Lei Yaoyang was infatuated with Qin Yuehan's beauty.

At their level of cultivation, the last thing they lack is beautiful young female cultivators.

Many young female cultivators in their teens would willingly be concubines or servants if one desired.

Lei Yaoyang's persistence can only be attributed to one reason.

Qin Yuehan brings him immense benefits.

In cultivation, the four essentials are "wealth, companions, techniques, and land."

As a Thunder Cultivator, a Golden Core true inheritor, Lei Yaoyang lacks neither "wealth," "companions," nor "land."

"Could it be that Qin Yuehan possesses a special bloodline talent that aids in Lei Yaoyang's cultivation technique?"

Shen Xuan thought this might be the crucial reason for Lei Yaoyang's pursuit of Qin Yuehan.

Practicing the Thunder Technique is not easy.

Despite its massive power, Thunder Spiritual Power is extremely unstable and difficult to control.

Thunder Cultivators have combat power far superior to their peers, but breaking through to higher levels is immensely challenging.

Shen Xuan shook his head.

Even if he figured it out, how could Qin Yuehan, of royal descent, not know?

"So, from beginning to end, Lei Yaoyang aims at Qin Yuehan, and I'm merely a coincidental pawn for him, a scapegoat."

Clearing the clouds to see the sun, his thoughts became crystal clear.

Yang Caiyi, as a Core Formation True Master, an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, surely sees through all this!

Between the bond of master and disciple and the reality of interests, Master Gu Feng chose the bond of master and disciple.

After taking Shen Xuan as a registered disciple,

Master Gu Feng bestowed upon him the cultivation technique inheritance and sent him to Cyan Yang Prefecture to support the Su family of Feiyun Mountain for thirty years.

It means for him to avoid Lei Yaoyang and prevent escalating conflict.

For such a trivial cultivation clan, Master Gu Feng has numerous ways to support it.

There is no need for a newly admitted registered disciple to reside deliberately for thirty years!
