Treatment, Gifts from Everyone_l
Translator: 549690339
Not only was this matter known to regular disciples, but the senior elders of the Foundation Establishment stage in the Immortal Mist Sect were also aware of it.
After all, this had become the biggest event in the Immortal Mist Sect.
“What? The loose cultivator actually advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage. How did he do it so quickly?”
“I heard he had a top-grade Foundation Pill and also had a third-stage Spirit
Vein. Naturally, he was able to advance easily.”
“This kid is indeed very lucky. He’s merely a loose cultivator with a Lower
Grade Spiritual Root, but the speed of his progression to Foundation Establishment is even faster than our sect disciples. At this rate, isn’t the Golden Core a possibility?”
“Enough of that. Given his lower-grade spiritual root aptitude, his cultivation journey is likely to be slow, like a snail’s. I fear that even after hundreds of years, he might not be able to progress to the middle-stage of Foundation Establishment.”
“Even so, this guy has already surpassed a majority of cultivators. He’s now on par with us.”
“Dammit, favored by the Sect Master, he received all these benefits. It’s really enviable.”
“They say he’s hosting a Foundation Establishment ceremony in three days. Should we attend?”
“Do we even have to ask? This man is the Sect Master’s significant other. Shouldn’t we attend? Or would we want to offend the Sect Master?”
“Indeed, we should prepare a gift so as not to disgrace the Immortal Mist Sect.” A series of discussions were held among the Foundation Establishment elders, their faces showing frustration.
Truth be told, if an ordinary cultivator reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they wouldn’t pay it much mind.
If the relations were good, they would care. If not, they wouldn’t.
The problem was that, this cultivator who reached Foundation Establishment was the Sect Master’s partner, a completely different matter.
If they dismissed this matter, they might risk being dismissed by the Sect Master.
After all, everyone knows that Leng Yuexi is the Immortal Mist Sect’s main authority figure.
Not giving face to her partner equates to not giving face to Leng Yuexi.
Women are the most petty.
No one knows when they might step on Leng Yuexi’s toes.
Three days later, Zhou Sui’s Foundation Establishment ceremony was held in the Immortal Mist Sect.
Basically, all of the senior Foundation Establishment elders of the Immortal Mist Sect attended. The grand scale of the event was second only to Leng Yuexi’s Sect Master inauguration ceremony, showing the respect they have for Zhou Sui.
At this time, Zhou Sui, together with Leng Yuexi, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan emerged, which instantly captivated the entire audience.
Through the refinement of the second-stage Dragon Elephant Gu and the third-stage Obsession Gu, Zhou Sui’s bearing, physique, and appearance underwent a significant transformation. He was gorgeous, his demeanor impressive.
His face was well-defined, with a jawline like carved granite. His distinct features were stunningly handsome. He had sharp brows and bright eyes, his face was exquisite. His aura was akin to a divine son who descended upon the mortal world.
Especially those black eyes of his, so pure they looked like amber, always manifesting a hint of innocence.
It seemed that countless women adored him very much, wishing they could hold him in the center of their palms.
“Damn, is this guy Zhou Sui? Someone spread rumors that he was an unparalleled handsome man. I questioned how handsome he could be, but now I have to admit that I’m outclassed. He’s practically on par with the True Disciples from Nascent Soul Sects.”
“I initially thought that I looked pretty good, but compared to this pretty boy my looks are simply pitiful.”
“Ugh, you’re shameless. With your monkey-like appearance, if it weren’t for your Foundation Establishment cultivation, you wouldn’t even be able to find a partner and you’d probably spend all your time in red-light districts. Yet, you still have the audacity to add insult to injury.”
“Shut up, where do you get off criticizing me? Aren’t you also crooked with your messy hair, dirty face, and beady eyes, appearing more like a ghost than a human. And yet you have the nerve to judge me.”
“No wonder Sect Master fell for him. If this guy were a woman, she might very well be a dangerous seductress.”
“This kind of flawless beauty isn’t achievable through disguises. It’s purely a gift from heaven, complete and natural, as if blessed by some kind of divine charm.”
“I heard the lad has a nickname, Heavenly Jade Daoist, which pleases the Sect Master.”
“Able to adapt to his circumstances as well as being flexible, that’s what a real man is. Truly well-deserved reputation.”
“How could he stand out among the multitude of loose cultivators if he didn’t have this ability?”
Many Foundation Establishment elders communicated through Divine Consciousness Transmission.
Because using Divine Consciousness Transmission, others can’t hear their conversation, and the Sect Master isn’t aware of what they’re discussing. They can also exchange information secretly.
This was the first time they were seeing Zhou Sui in person and were astonished one after another.
If this lad also had an Upper Grade Spiritual Root, he might have become a True Disciple of the sect.
But even so, this pretty boy is now a Foundation Establishment cultivator and can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
At this moment, Leng Yuexi was introducing these Foundation Establishment elders of Immortal Mist Sect to Zhou Sui.
“My dear, this is Xue Qiyang, the Reward and Punishment Hall Master, at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.”
“This is Luo Dingtian, the Refining Equipment Hall Master, at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.”
“And this is Ma Qianjun, the Peak Master of Pill Medicine Peak, at the late stage
of Foundation Establishment.”
-This is Chang Lei, the Gold Symbol Peak Master, at the middle stage of
Foundation Establishment.”
“This is Yao Wen, the Array Peak Master, at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.”
“This is Ji Haitao, the Scripture Hall Master, at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.”
Immediately, these important figures of the Immortal Mist Sect were introduced one by one by Leng Yuexi.
Besides, there were also some guest Foundation Establishment elders.
Though they didn’t count as core figures of the Immortal Mist Sect, they were invested in it and held important positions. They were all considered the mainstay of the Immortal Mist Sect.
Just the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Immortal Mist Sect alone already totalled 186.
If it were not for the war with the Ghost Demon Sect, costing the lives of many Foundation Establishment cultivators, the number of cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage in the Immortal Mist Sect would probably exceed 200.
This alone was proof of the depth of the Immortal Mist Sect.
Other Foundation Establishment families only have one or two Foundation Establishment cultivators, but the Immortal Mist Sect has more than a hundred.
It’S equivalent to the sum of more than a hundred Foundation Establishment families.
One can imagine the profound strength of the Immortal Mist Sect, which is definitely extraordinary.
Greetings to all fellow Daoists.”
Zhou Sui nodded, feeling awestruck.
If he were still a loose cultivator, where would he have the opportunity to meet these Foundation Establishment big shots? Chances were that he couldn’t even meet them face to face. And even if he did, he risked making them angry, which m turn could cost him his life.
But now? These mighty figures of the sect who held their heads high were waiting in front of him to offer gifts. They were all bowing and scraping, meek and deferential.
The rapid changes in the world were really shocking.
Of course, he also knew that the reason for these Foundation Establishment elders behaving so nicely was not his advancement to the Foundation Establishment stage.
It was purely because his partner was a Golden Core Master and the Sect
Master of the Immortal Mist Sect.
In light of this, everyone naturally behaved well, spoke kindly, and it felt like their words were sweet as honey.
They were not showing respect to him, but to the Golden Core Master.
Thinking of this, his momentary sense of pride was replaced by a swift return to calm.
In the world of cultivation, ultimately, power decides everything.
Without power, everything is an illusion..
