Chapter 1443: Chapter 60: My Disciple Wang Ruobing! Possessing the Stature of a True Demon (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_5

Wang Longyan had long been accustomed to such treatment. With a casual greeting, she brushed off a few words and immediately made her way through the crowd to the edge of the Sword-viewing Terrace, where she respectfully performed a disciple’s salute to Qi Hongzhao.

“Master, I have returned.”

“It’s good that you’re back.” Qi Hongzhao raised a hand to help Wang Longyan up while walking her back and subtly used his God Sense to feel around, nodding slightly, “Disciple, you have… broken through to the Advanced Stage of the Purple Abode Realm? Not bad. It seems this period of cultivation has been quite fruitful for you, not only breaking through to the seventh layer of the Purple Abode Realm, but your foundation also seems much more stable, and your aura is more smooth and satisfactory.”

However, even though he said this, in his heart he was somewhat disappointed.

Back in his day, every time he went out into the world for cultivation experience, wasn’t he always blessed with fortune and abundant rewards?

And it wasn’t just him; the opportunities and fortunes for previous Sect Masters of the Yinsha Sect were quite good too. After all, which among the Great Heavenly Proud did not have their own opportunities? Without outstanding fortune and opportunities, how could one stand out among the multitude of the Great Heavenly Proud to compete for the position of the next Sect Master?

Still, as his own direct disciple, Qi Hongzhao took her feelings into consideration and did not voice his inner thoughts.

The future of the youth was still very long; he could not crush her confidence.

A lack of fortune was fine as long as one had good talent.

“Thanks to Master’s blessings, this disciple has gained much from this period of cultivation.” Wang Longyan’s attitude was respectful, and she calmly spoke of the places she visited and the people she met during her journey.

Qi Hongzhao listened and praised her, appearing quite satisfied.

Unbeknownst to them, the two had already left behind the watching disciples and entered the Sacred Temple of the Yinsha Sect.

Only then did Wang Longyan bring up her true gains from this expedition: “During this disciple’s journey to the Northern Wilderness, the greatest discovery was an ancient ruin. Although the ruin was not large, its level was quite high. Inside, I found a young Mysterious Ice Phoenix and also obtained another treasure that allowed me to enhance my talent. My potential has now reached the level of [World’s Best Second Rate Supremacy, Slightly Advanced], approaching Grade A.”

Wang Longyan’s tone was very calm; the Yin Sha Demon King hadn’t even reacted before he nodded subconsciously, prepared to continue the established pattern of praise: “Not bad. The Mysterious Ice Phoenix has a lot of potentials and is indeed a fine discovery…”

He was halfway through his praise when it finally hit him, “What? Mysterious Ice Phoenix? And what level is your talent now?”

“Indeed, it’s the Mysterious Ice Phoenix. World’s Best Second Rate Supremacy, Slightly Advanced.”

Wang Longyan remained expressionless, with no change in her tone.

“…”

Qi Hongzhao’s expression, however, changed completely; he was dumbfounded for quite some time, unable to form appropriate words.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that he would be the one with the lackluster fortunes.

After all, the Mysterious Ice Phoenix was a Fierce Beast with the potential of Level Eleven and a long lifespan, undoubtedly ranking as the top quality Spirit Beast just below an Immortal Beast. Even he himself never had the chance to obtain a Spirit Beast of this level.

Moreover, talent becomes increasingly difficult to enhance later on. At the level of the Unparalleled Heavenly Child, to advance even a little is extremely tough, not to mention leaping straight from Class C to near Peak Class B; even moving from Mid-Class C to Slightly Advanced Class C or from World’s Best Grade D to Class C is quite difficult.

If it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have been so ecstatic when he first found a disciple at World’s Best Class C talent.

Even his own original talent had barely reached World’s Best Class C and that was after inheriting a Codex and being nourished by the Heavenly Earth Essence to make further progress.

To have such a significant improvement in talent after becoming one of the Unparalleled, his disciple’s opportunity could only be described as “defying the heavens.” Compared to it, even finding a Mysterious Ice Phoenix didn’t seem like such an exaggerated stroke of fortune.

To think, as an Independent Cultivator, she could become a Unparalleled Heavenly Child, and then to encounter such an opportunity with one casual venture into the world; his disciple, could she not be the legendary “Son of Fortune”?

Of course, Qi Hongzhao couldn’t possibly think at this moment that the “opportunity” Wang Longyan talked about wasn’t due to fortune but the effect of that [Top Quality Bridal Clothes Blood Gu].

Even her journey down the mountain to cultivate was just for show, to give a convincing reason for this enhancement of her talent and to pass under scrutiny easily.

After all, cultivation speeds are entirely different with different talents. Qi Hongzhao, as Wang Longyan’s titular master, was always paying attention to her cultivation progress, and completely deceiving him would be impossible.

After a long period of stunned silence, Qi Hongzhao seemed to think of something, his eyes suddenly shining with a burst of light, and his expression turned extremely agitated.

Without another word, he took Wang Longyan with him: “Come, let’s go and test your talent.”

Naturally, the Yinsha Sect had a Spirit Testing Platform, and the highest grade at that, capable of testing even the Unparalleled Heavenly Child with great precision, more accurate than a Cultivator’s own judgment.

Wang Longyan cooperated and retested.

Before long, the test results were out.

“What is this about being near Peak Class B? You are clearly at Peak Class B!” Qi Hongzhao looked at the test results, already excitedly incoherent, “Good, good, good! Our Yinsha lineage has struggled for so many years, and finally, there’s hope for revival! Hahaha~ Ancestors above, do you see? My disciple Ruobing has the makings of a True Demon!”
