Entering the Immortal Arts Pavilion, Xiao Lingxi was like a curious kitten, looking left and right.
When she saw the numerous Sublime Methods scrolls floating around the room, she was immediately shocked.
Unlike Zhuge Feng, she came from a large Family and had extensive knowledge and experience.
The more Sublime Methods there were, and the better their quality, the more it reflected a Sect's Strength!
Lingxiao Sect was strong enough, right?
But the number of its Sublime Methods did not exceed a hundred!
However, within this Immortal Arts Pavilion, the number of Sublime Methods scrolls alone definitely exceeded ten thousand!!
This was not just an Immortal Arts Pavilion; it was completely like a precious treasure vault!
Xiao Lingxi's delicate body trembled slightly with excitement. With so many Sublime Methods, she had no idea which one to choose.
"Please place your hand on the stone platform in front."
Seemingly noticing that Xiao Lingxi didn't know how to choose, the Guardian Spirit of the Immortal Arts Pavilion spoke.
"Who... who is speaking?"
Just like Zhuge Feng before, Xiao Lingxi was startled and looked around.
"I am the Guardian Spirit of the Immortal Arts Pavilion. There is no need to be afraid."
The Guardian Spirit's voice sounded, "According to the Sect rules, every Disciple newly joining our Tiandao Sect can choose one Sublime Method."
"If you wish to choose yourself, you can pick any Sublime Method scroll. If you want me to choose for you, please place your hand on the stone tablet in front."
"Guardian Spirit? The legendary Divine Weapon Spirit?" Xiao Lingxi was stunned again.
On the Continent, a Divine Weapon with a spirit was absolutely a supreme existence!
And a powerful person possessing a spirit was absolutely a top expert on the Continent!
At least, she had never heard of the existence of any spirit in Lingxiao Sect!
"Master didn't lie to me; he might really not fear Lingxiao Sect!"
Xiao Lingxi thought to herself, then took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in her heart, calmed her emotions, and then cautiously walked towards the stone platform.
She placed her hand on the stone pillar.
Buzz—
With a slight tremor, the stone platform lit up, and a scroll slowly appeared. At the same time, the Guardian Spirit's voice sounded again.
"Your personality is lively, and your temperament is unrestrained. This is the 《Jade Maiden Heart Sutra • Qi Refining Chapter》, which can combine with your Physique to achieve stronger cultivation effects."
"Jade Maiden Heart Sutra? Did Senior Brother Zhuge also Cultivate this? No, no, just by the name, it sounds suitable for women to Cultivate."
Xiao Lingxi muttered, and after picking up the scroll, she asked, "Senior Guardian Spirit, is this Jade Maiden Heart Sutra the strongest Sublime Method of Tiandao Sect?"
"Can cultivating this achieve a hundred circulations per hour?"
Xiao Lingxi asked expectantly, still unable to forget the hundred times, a hundred times.
"There is no strongest Sublime Method, only the most suitable Sublime Method. If you blindly pursue the strongest and Cultivate a Sublime Method that is not suitable, how far can you go?"
The Guardian Spirit's voice spread.
"Okay, I've noted it. Thank you, Senior Guardian Spirit."
Xiao Lingxi seriously bowed to the stone platform before leaving.
"How was it? Did you find a suitable Sublime Method?"
Seeing Xiao Lingxi walk out happily, Su Bai asked with a smile, already knowing the answer in his heart.
"I've found it, Master. Disciple will go Cultivate now!" Xiao Lingxi couldn't hide her inner joy, answering with a clear and pleasant voice.
After speaking, she impatiently bowed to Su Bai, found a quiet place, and began cultivating the Sublime Method she had just obtained.
"This girl is quite impatient," Su Bai shook his head with a wry smile.
Zhuge Feng also said, "Master, since Junior Sister has already begun cultivating, Disciple also wants to seize the time to Cultivate properly. Please grant permission, Master."
Su Bai nodded and said, "Cultivate if you want to Cultivate. The Sect has no tasks yet; you don't need to ask for my permission."
"Yes, Master!"
Having received permission, Zhuge Feng also turned and left, finding an empty and secluded corner to calm his mind and begin cultivating with concentration.
Watching his two Disciples successively enter a state of cultivation, Su Bai's gaze shifted to the Sect upgrade conditions.
To upgrade from a one-star Sect to a two-star Sect, three Disciples with a loyalty of 60 or more and one hundred Sect points are required!
A loyalty of 60 is not very high. Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi have both reached 80 now.
Oh, no, it's already 85 now!
Su Bai only just realized that in just this short while, the Sect loyalty of both Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi had increased.
As for Sect points, Zhuge Feng was rewarded 10 points for his Breakthrough earlier. It seems that as long as a Disciple's cultivation breaks through, they can obtain Sect points.
He just didn't know if it was a reward of 10 Sect points for each Breakthrough, or if the points rewarded for Breakthroughs varied according to different cultivation levels.
So, to upgrade to a two-star Sect, he needed to recruit another Disciple with Sect loyalty of 60 or more!
Watching Zhuge Feng and Xiao Lingxi both enter cultivation, Su Bai shook his head, thinking to himself that he would go out to recruit Disciples after the two had cultivated for a while and stabilized their cultivation.
"...Eighteen, nineteen, twenty!"
Xiao Lingxi cultivated while muttering to herself. When she silently counted to twenty, the Spiritual Qi she absorbed had just completed one cycle through her Meridians in her body.
One hour, one hundred Heavenly Dao circulations!
Another Heaven-Defying Sublime Method!
Moreover, she found that the Spiritual Qi absorbed into her body by this Sublime Method didn't need to be refined or purified at all!
In other words, 100 cycles per hour was the strongest Sublime Method!
Precisely because purification wasn't needed, it saved several times the time, no wonder Senior Brother Zhuge could refine Qi overnight.
Xiao Lingxi's shock was imaginable. How many powerful Sects sought such a Heaven-Defying Sublime Method but couldn't obtain one, yet Tiandao Sect had two!
No, there were definitely more than two!
The Immortal Arts Pavilion had so many Sublime Methods; there must be many more Heaven-Defying Sublime Methods hidden within!
Thinking of this, she opened her eyes and looked in a certain direction, only to see Su Bai standing in the sunlight, hands behind his back, gazing at the clouds.
The sunlight shone on Su Bai, making him appear as if he was draped in a layer of golden radiance, looking exceptionally dazzling.
At this moment, Xiao Lingxi's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
To share such precious Sublime Methods instead of keeping them for oneself... it turned out Master was so magnificent!
............
Three days later, in a room in Lingxiao Sect.
"Where is she? I'm asking you, where is Xiao Lingxi? A bunch of trash! A bunch of good-for-nothings!"
A pale-faced young man with a somewhat sickly complexion was roaring and shouting.
Several Stewards knelt before him, trembling and lowering their heads, not daring to look up.
"Young Lord, Steward Li said that Xiao Lingxi ran away. He took a few Disciples out to search, but now, there has been no news for three days..."
One Steward braced himself and answered cautiously.
Hearing this, the pale-faced young man immediately flew into a rage!
"Trash, trash, all of you are trash! I told you to bring her back to me, and you actually lost her for this Young Lord!"
The few Stewards who were reprimanded trembled even more.
They knew very well the temper of this profligate Young Master; even if he killed them on the spot, no one would speak up for them.
"Where did she disappear? Go find her! No matter the cost, even if you have to dig three feet deep, you must bring her back to me!!"
"If you can't find her, none of you need to return!"
The pale-faced young man yelled sharply.
Hearing this, the several Stewards trembled violently.
Not returning didn't just mean not returning to Lingxiao Sect if they couldn't find her.
It meant not returning to this world!
One of the Stewards was the first to break the deadlock, answering tremblingly, "Yes... This subordinate obeys!"
The other Stewards didn't dare to hesitate either, all rising and quickly leaving.
After everyone had left, a sinister and vicious light appeared in the pale-faced young man's eyes.
"That damned slut, how dare she run away! When I catch you, I will make you wish you were dead, unable to live or die, and let you properly experience this Young Lord's methods!"
"Hmph, the woman this Young Lord has set his eyes on, no matter if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will find you and make you obediently become this Young Lord's plaything!"
"No one can escape this Young Lord's grasp!"
"No one!!"
