Three days later.

Shen Xuan was observing the celestial phenomena; Thunderstorm Day was imminent.

He hurried to notify his master and all the senior and junior sisters.

Master Gu Feng sent a message to Mysterious Trace True Master.

Soon, streaks of escape light flew towards the small Gu Feng Peak.

Not long after, more than ten True Masters arrived at the summit of the small Gu Feng Peak.

By this time, Shen Xuan had set up the Thunder-Attracting Rockets.

Finally.

In the sight of all the True Masters.

Shen Xuan demonstrated the method of creating Thunder Spirit Pearls.

On the Thunder-Attracting Platform, the Spirit Binder sent the Thunder-Attracting Rockets into the sky, rising five or six hundred meters above ground, and the carrying Celestial Crystal Gold Thread shone brightly. The power of lightning, as thick as a barrel, spread along the Celestial Crystal Gold Thread into the Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron.

Wearing Thunder-Resistant Robes, Qin Yuehan and Gu Jinqin rolled the Thunder Sound Bamboo Pearl from the Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron, absorbing the power of lightning, and then used spiritual power to wrap and compress it.

A Thunder Spirit Pearl was declared complete.

The speed was extremely fast, needing only a little over a hundred breaths.

This left the True Masters present all amazed, their hearts tremendously shocked.

Looking at Shen Xuan, calm and composed, his aura peaceful.

"Isn't this too simple?"

"Simple, why didn't you think of it?"

"Why hasn't that Thunder-Attracting Spiritual Artifact even touched the thundercloud yet, but it can draw down the power of lightning."

"And the clothes on that disciple, they're remarkable, seems like they can prevent the power of lightning."

"Not prevent, but redirect the power of lightning, without harming the cultivator's body."

At this moment, Mysterious Trace True Master appeared calm and breezy.

But internally, he too was greatly astonished.

His skill in arrays was only slightly inferior to Chongxu True Master.

At this moment, he had already noticed the extraordinariness of the Thunder-Attracting Array and Thunder-Resistant Robe.

His feelings were quite conflicted now.

Seeing the ease with which the Thunder-Attracting Array produced Thunder Pearls, provided there was enough Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron, it could be mass-produced.

Simultaneously, he pondered, Master Gu Feng surely wouldn't easily hand over this technique to the sect.

After all, under his arrangement, Shen Xuan switched allegiance, apprenticing under Master Cold Jade.

The so-called retention of the small Gu Feng's Direct Disciple identity was merely to save face for Master Gu Feng.

Henceforth, Master Cold Jade would guide Shen Xuan's cultivation.

While Master Gu Feng, indeed, couldn't offer much help to Shen Xuan.

At the request of Mysterious Trace True Master.

Facing the investigative gazes of many True Masters, Shen Xuan softly explained the principle of the Thunder-Attracting Array.

He tried to articulate in simple terms.

Despite this, the True Masters were still somewhat unclear.

Especially Celestial Thunder True Master, whose gaze towards him was particularly complex.

These knowledge about Thunder Technique, even to him, were enlightening as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head, tremendously beneficial.

Recalling the refusal to accept Shen Xuan as a Direct Disciple, there was a hint of regret.

Master Cold Jade was not wrong.

This person has hopes for Core Formation!

And the hope is considerable!

An Inner Core True Master is an entity with real authority in the sect.

Not only Celestial Thunder True Master.

Other True Masters were all deeply moved.

In an instant, more than a dozen admiring and praising gazes fell onto Shen Xuan's face.

To teach a disciple with Inner Core True Master prowess, passing on one's legacy, is the wish of most True Masters.

At this time, they couldn't help but envy Master Cold Jade.

Not only did he have an acute judgment, but he was also willing to take such bold steps.

Directly appealed to the Sect Leader, to accept Shen Xuan as a Direct Disciple, instructing him to challenge Core Formation.

Under the guise of sect righteousness, accomplishing disciple seizure, even at the cost of a fallout with Master Gu Feng.

This sort of matter could only be done by Master Cold Jade.

Those male True Masters, after all, cared about their standings; they couldn't bring themselves to do such things.

Moreover, there was consideration for the sect aristocracy, Yang Family.

However, some True Masters glanced at Celestial Thunder True Master.

Shen Xuan is not only proficient in Ice Technique but also adept in Thunder Technique.

Such a gifted disciple, one would reject with an "ill-intentioned", indeed seemed like casting pearls before swine.

The Thunder-Attracting Array lay openly before them.

Whether explained or not, these could be fathomed by the True Masters.

Yet, Shen Xuan did not mention the Thunder-Resistant Robe.

This was truly the crucial instrument for creating Thunder Spirit Pearls.

Without the Thunder-Resistant Robe, ordinary cultivators would be unable to refine Thunder Spirit Pearls.

One careless move, the Thunder Spirit Pearl explodes, leading to severe injury, or even death.

Mysterious Trace True Master glanced at the Thunder-Resistant Robe.

Did not press the matter.

All True Masters tacitly did not inquire about the Thunder-Resistant Robe.

Evidently, this was the unique secret technique of small Gu Feng.

"Very good! Large scale manufacture of Thunder Spirit Pearls by small Gu Feng disciples ensures our sect's victory in the Dao and Demon struggle!"

In the Dao and Demon struggle, True Masters and Demon Ancestors are prohibited from making a move.

Warfare is essentially about logistics.

This principle, applied to the cultivation realm, holds true.

Currently, Cyan Cloud Sect has over three hundred Foundation Establishment Realm disciples, nearly half are participating in the Dao and Demon struggle in the border prefectures.

If each possessed a dozen Thunder Spirit Pearls, individual combat strength would be significantly enhanced, thus achieving a clear advantage in battles against demon cultivators.

...

Small Gu Feng, within the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

Mysterious Trace True Master and Master Gu Feng sat with dignity in the middle at the head.

Seven Direct Disciples were seated on either side.

"Shen Xuan, step forward!"

The calm voice of Mysterious Trace True Master echoed.

Shen Xuan stepped forward respectfully.

"Shen Xuan, your master and I have discussed."

"For the sake of your path, we decided that, while retaining your Direct Disciple status with Gu Feng, you shall also apprentice under Master Cold Jade."

Upon hearing this.

Shen Xuan solemnly replied: "Disciple pledges to follow!"

Seeing Shen Xuan so composed.

Mysterious Trace True Master and Master Gu Feng both knew that he had long anticipated this outcome.

In thousands of years within Cyan Cloud Sect, nothing like this has ever happened.

One person, dual lineage Direct Disciple.

Shen Xuan's journey seemed miraculous.

From failing the sect test to establishing Foundation Establishment at an older age, to becoming a Registered Disciple, Direct Disciple.

Now, a dual lineage Direct Disciple.

One lineage, particularly the famed Cold Jade Peak of the sect, its fighting power akin to Golden Core.

This matter had never occurred previously.

Likely, very rarely in the future too.

Shen Xuan is destined to become a prominent figure in Cyan Cloud Sect.

The six Direct Disciples on either side were all stunned.

This news was certainly too sudden for them.

Out of the blue, Third Senior Brother decided to seek another esteemed master.

Although he still retained the status of a direct disciple of Master Gu Feng.

She fully understood that this was the Sect Leader saving face for Master Gu Feng.

"Alright! Go back and pack up. Head to Cold Jade Peak to report in the next few days."

"Junior Sister Hanyu isn't as good-natured as Junior Sister Gu Feng, so be careful."

Mysterious Trace True Master humorously remarked in high spirits.

"Yes, Martial Uncle Sect Leader, I will head there soon."

"Shen Xuan. You will always be my third disciple."

Master Gu Feng said with a smile.

"If Cold Jade treats you poorly, come back, don't worry about it!"

"I am here for everything!"

Shen Xuan gave a bitter smile.

What Master Gu Feng said, he simply couldn't respond to.

"Disciple thanks the Master."

At that moment,

All six senior and junior sisters realized that Shen Xuan was about to leave Little Gu Feng.

The others were fine.

Despite feeling unwilling, they could only sigh with emotion.

Like Gu Jinqin and the Wu sisters, they were merely losing a senior brother who led them to prosper.

But Qin Yuehan hadn't yet recovered from the enormous shock.

Still staring blankly at Shen Xuan, with a face full of disbelief.

"Shen Xuan, is he becoming a direct disciple of Cold Jade Peak?"

This news shattered some of her illusions.

"So, what he cares about more is still his path!"

Qin Yuehan couldn't help but give Shen Xuan a deep look, her eyes full of grievance.

This scene didn't escape anyone's eyes, yet they all pretended not to know.

They were all old foxes, none would break the facade.

Even the Wu sisters could only feel pity for Qin Yuehan in their hearts.

The falling flower has intentions, but the running water is ruthless.

They had long been indifferent to relationships between men and women.

They only focused on Spirit Stones.

...

No wall is impervious to the wind.

The news of Shen Xuan changing allegiance and about to join Cold Jade Peak spread rapidly across Cyan Cloud Sect.

"Shen Xuan, a dual-branch direct disciple!"

"Isn't Shen Xuan skilled in Thunder Technique?"

"You didn't know? Let me ask you, is it easier to transform water spirit into thunder, or for water spirit to condense into ice?"

"Of course, it's easier for the water spirit to condense into ice."

"Haha, Shen Xuan's talent in Ice Technique surpasses that of the Thunder Technique!"

"Really! Could it be..."

"Correct! The Divine Treasure Vast Sea Technique that Shen Xuan practices, although an ancient technique, has the drawbacks of slow cultivation speeds and not being skilled in combat, it also has the advantages of health care and treatment, inference of yin and yang, and Thunder Ice."

"Is this true?"

"That's what everyone says!"

"Can I still change my practice now?"

"It's useless! Don't listen to his nonsense! Shen Xuan may very well be a descendant of the bloodline of the storied Shen True Monarch in Jin Country."

"I see! No wonder he possesses such extraordinary Talent!"

A myriad of sounds, whether shocked, envious, or praising, circulated in every corner of the Cyan Cloud Sect.

...

Little Gu Feng.

Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

"No need to be surprised! Shen Xuan is an ice technique genius."

"By joining Cold Jade, he can strive for Core Formation."

Master Gu Feng revealed a faint smile and explained.

And in front of her,

Six direct disciples had complex thoughts in their hearts.

"Yun Chixin."

"Disciple is here."

Master Gu Feng pondered and said: "In the Dao-Demon conflict of Celestial Chapter Prefecture, our Sect's disciples suffered a complete defeat."

"The Sect Leader decided to send you to handle the Dao-Demon conflict matters of Celestial Chapter Prefecture."

"You have achieved Foundation Establishment Perfection, and you should go out and experience the world."

Yun Chixin bowed and replied: "Disciple obeys."

"Master, could you perhaps grant me some extra Celestial Thunder Pearls?"

"I knew you'd bring this up!"

Master Gu Feng said with begrudging humor;

"The Sect Leader specially approved, you may take two hundred Celestial Thunder Pearls for your mission."

"Use them sparingly, if you ask for more, it may not be approved."

"Thank you, Master! If Martial Uncle Sect Leader doesn't approve more, I'll just ask the junior sisters for a bit in private."

Yun Chixin said with a smile.

"Wishful thinking! Without Spirit Stones, I won't give them to you!"

Wen Luoying spoke up.

Back then, she suffered great losses at the hands of this senior sister.

The chores of Little Gu Feng, handed over to her, had significant deficits.

Upon departure, she even borrowed the only 200,000 Spirit Stones available.

"Alright! Let's discuss that later."

Speaking of Thunder Spirit Pearl, Master Gu Feng remembered Shen Xuan's parting advice.

"Take good care of your Thunder-Resistant Robes, don't lose them under any circumstances."

"If worst comes to worst, destroy them rather than let them fall into outsiders' hands."

Upon hearing this, all six nodded in agreement.

They all knew that the Thunder-Resistant Robe was critical to the refining of Thunder Spirit Pearls.

Without the Thunder-Resistant Robe, a slight error during the refinement of Thunder Spirit Pearls could lead to serious injury or even death.

Gu Jinqin asked: "Master, will Celestial Thunder Peak steal our Little Gu Feng's secrets of the Celestial Thunder Pearl?"

"No, they won't."

Master Gu Feng shook her head.

"The Sect Leader decided to exchange our Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron with that of Celestial Thunder Peak's."

"Celestial Thunder Peak neither has enough Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron nor the manpower to continue refining Celestial Thunder Pearls."

"From now on, our Little Gu Feng will provide all the Celestial Thunder Pearls for the Sect."

Upon hearing this,

A proud smile appeared on Gu Jinqin's face.

"Master is amazing!"

The rest of the disciples joined in unison: "Master is amazing!"

"Alright! Enough of the flattery. The Sect Leader said you can only carry at most thirty Celestial Thunder Pearls when you're out."

"The rest has to be submitted to the Sect at a price of 400 Spirit Stones each!"

The Wu sisters' eyes immediately lit up.

This also meant they now had a sustainable means of earning Spirit Stones.

At this time,

The biggest contributor, Shen Xuan,

was busy moving.

He was heading to Cold Jade Peak to establish a new cave mansion.
