“Junior Brother.”

As soon as Yu Feng returned, he saw Third Senior Brother waiting for him at the door.

“Third Senior Brother, you’re here to…” Yu Feng hesitated.

Third Senior Brother, acting like a thief, looked around and whispered to Yu Feng, “This is not something we should discuss openly. Can we talk about it inside?”

“Please come in.”

Once inside, Third Senior Brother still dared not speak loudly, he lowered his voice and said, “I’m ashamed to say it, but could you teach me the art of talismans you’ve mastered?”

“Third Senior Brother, our Master should have told you, this should not be shared outside.”

Third Senior Brother pretended to be annoyed, “We are brothers of the same school, how can it considered as sharing outside?”

Yu Feng was in a predicament and pondered for a while before he said, “Fine then. But I have a condition.”

“What is it?”

“Fifth Senior Brother gave me a ‘Spirit Plant Manual,’ I don’t quite understand it. As a Golden Core Stage cultivator, could you explain it to me?”

All disciples of the Taoist Master were at the Golden Core Stage, except for Yu Feng, who was akin to a picked-up stray, still at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“Let me see.” Third Senior Brother was not interested in spiritual plants and had never seen Fifth Brother’s ‘Spirit Plant Manual.’ However, in order to master Yu Feng’s art of talismans, he could learn it first and then explain it to Yu Feng.

“You should read this book backwards…” Third Senior Brother muttered in shock.

“Backwards?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

After browsing through a few chapters, Third Senior Brother discovered that there was a Cultivation Technique hidden in the lines. He was shocked and immediately acted as if nothing had happened, bearing in mind that Yu Feng was still present.

“Fifth Brother has given you such a difficult book to understand. Here’s what we’ll do, I will read this book overnight and explain it to you as soon as possible.” Third Senior Brother said as he slid the ‘Spirit Plant Manual’ into his bosom, handling it naturally as if it were his own book.

“Thank you, Senior Brother. I will teach you the art of talismans now.” Yu Feng gratefully responded.

“It’s nothing.”

Two hours passed.

“Strange, why can’t I learn it?”

Yu Feng thought to himself, ‘Of course it’s because I’m not teaching you,’ but said aloud, “Senior Brother, you’re exceptionally gifted. You’re probably just not getting the hang of it yet. Once you do, you’ll make fast progress in the art of talismans.”

“Perhaps. Let’s do this, I’ll come to learn it tomorrow.”

“See you then, Third Senior Brother.”

After seeing off the diligent and inquisitive Third Senior Brother, Yu Feng lay on his bed lost in thought.

“Didn’t expect to join the school now.”

“When were you supposed to join?” Jiang Li curiously asked, getting a sense from Yu Feng’s words that something greatly differed from the future he knew.

“I would only become the Taoist Master’s disciple four years later. Four and a half years later, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Senior Brothers would betray the school. Now, thanks to the Celestial Meteorite, it’s accelerated my relationship with Senior Sister, so I could become a disciple directly.”

Yu Feng had taken the Taoist Master as his teacher multiple times, each time after four years, becoming a Golden Core Stage cultivator.

Given the Taoist Master’s discerning eye, he wouldn’t have accepted Yu Feng, who only had three Spiritual Roots, at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Only becoming a Golden Core Stage cultivator would earn him some respect.

Yu Feng had bluffed about a cultivation technique, making the Taoist Master doubtful. Then he casually posed a question, which allowed Yu Feng to grasp the opportunity, and the Taoist Master had no choice but to accept him.

“That sure is a significant deviation.”

Yu Feng had only lived for eight years at max. Now, he had caught up half of the progress.

What Yu Feng was actually considering was the fact that he had only been able to spend half a year with Senior Sister each time. This time, he would be able to spend four and a half years with her.

“To avoid meeting a tragic end, you should focus on your cultivation. Now, you’re only in the initial stage of Foundation Establishment.”

Yu Feng understood this principle. He sat cross-legged and practiced the cultivation technique drafted by Jiang Li.

In half a month, Jiang Li had created a customized cultivation technique called ‘Seven Orifices and Exquisite Heart,’ based on Yu Feng’s ability to master a bit of everything in the hundred arts of cultivation. It allowed him to multitask and simultaneously use various cultivation talents. For example, he could control a beast while strengthening its power with a talisman.

It could also combine the methods of spiritual plants and alchemy, enabling one to grow a pill, which would eventually grow into a tree full of pills.

However, the latter was only theoretically possible and hadn’t been successful in practice.

This cultivation technique could allow Yu Feng to cultivate to immortality, and was the highest class cultivation technique he had ever seen.

Yu Feng was not a cultivator with extraordinary combat power who could combat those of higher levels. Neither Qin Luan nor Luo Ying siblings could match him.

Yu Feng’s careful personality was not suited for the surge of hot blood and a battle that relied solely on willpower.

Repeated deaths made him realize the unpredictability of life and the value of life, he preferred to plan then take actions.

However, before meeting Jiang Li, his plans couldn’t keep up with the changes and he died too quickly.

Now with Jiang Li’s guidance, he was able to truly show his advantage.

Therefore, Jiang Li didn’t draft a cultivation technique for him that would increase his combat power enormously as the battle goes on.

Yu Feng’s left hand drew talismans in the air while his right hand laid out formations. His strength didn’t lie in raw power, but versatility, which kept his enemies guessing.

“This cultivation technique…” Third Senior Brother repeated the study of the cultivation technique hidden in the ‘Spirit Plant Manual.’ The more he read, the more he found it to be a treasure; easy to start and quick to cultivate. Most importantly, it didn’t conflict with his current cultivation technique.

“What a treasure, I’m glad I acted quickly, not letting Junior Brother be the lucky one.”

“I wonder where Fifth Brother got it from.”

Seeing himself as an extraordinary person, Third Senior Brother thought that all the good things should belong to him. Even if Senior Sister Wu Lian had a higher talent in talisman techniques, she shouldn’t be favored by the Master.

After all, Senior Sister Wu Lian was a woman to be married off eventually. If the Master’s traditions were handed down to her, it would be tantamount to passing them on to outsiders. It would be better for him to take them.

Third Senior Brother felt that he had considered a lot for the school.

And the ‘Spirit Plant Manual’ that Yu Feng had obtained, which was hiding a chance, chances come to those who deserve them and naturally, the strong one deserves it.

As a Golden Core Stage cultivator, it was reasonable and fair for him to seize the chance from the Foundation Stage Junior Brother midway.

If there was anyone to blame, it was Junior Brother who hadn’t discovered it.

“Fifth Senior Brother, did you plant these spiritual plants? They’re growing so vibrantly!”

“Yes, great, isn’t it?” Fifth Senior Brother was smug, it was not just a matter of growing vibrantly. In another three or four years, when he has covered the school grounds with spiritual plants and their roots shared in a formation, they would know the power of these spiritual plants.

Two small and delicate lotuses were blooming, full of vitality, making people feel extraordinarily comfortable to look at.

Yu Feng was overjoyed as if he had found a treasure, he excitedly said, “You actually have Twin Heart Lotuses, I have been looking for them for a long time but couldn’t find them. Can I pick two of them?”

Fifth Senior Brother stiffened, Twin Heart Lotus was not valuable, but its location was essential.

For a covert attack on Taoist Master at the Nascent Soul Stage, a single grand formation was not powerful enough. What Fifth Senior Brother had laid was a chain of grand formations, and the position of Twin Heart Grass was a crucial eye of the grand formation.

“Junior Brother, Twin Heart Lotus is useless for Foundation Establishment Stage, and it’s not useful in alchemy, you…”

Fifth Senior Brother tactfully declined.

Yu Feng naively said, “But it looks beautiful. I will pick two, one for Senior Sister Wu Lian, to thank her for helping me to become a disciple, and the other one for me.”

Fifth Senior Brother comforted himself, it’s okay, it’s okay. Without the lotus, there’s still the lotus root, and lotuses can grow from lotus roots over time.

“Fifth Senior Brother, why don’t you give me the lotus root as well? I heard that it tastes especially good.”

Fifth Senior Brother clenched his teeth, he had built an image of being generous and likable. If he didn’t give it to Yu Feng, he might reveal his secret plans. A minor inconvenience in return for preventing the leakage of major plans, losing one formation eye wasn’t a big issue.

“Take it, feel free to take it.”
