"Master, why have you come?"
Stretching, Zhang Ergou opened the door and saw Chunyang Sanren standing in his yard.
"Huh?" Chunyang Sanren exclaimed in surprise.
He didn't answer Zhang Ergou's question, but instead, he scrutinized Zhang Ergou carefully.
Chunyang Sanren flashed and appeared beside Zhang Ergou.
He reached out and touched Zhang Ergou's head...
"Master, what's wrong?"
Seeing Chunyang Sanren place his hand on his head and say nothing,
Zhang Ergou felt a bit nervous.
After about half a minute, Chunyang Sanren withdrew his hand.
His gaze towards Zhang Ergou was already a little strange!
"Master!" Zhang Ergou exclaimed again.
He was truly frightened by Chunyang Sanren's actions and expression.
"Hahaha! Heaven has not treated Chunyang unfairly! Hahaha..."
Chunyang Sanren suddenly burst into laughter.
His words made Zhang Ergou even more confused.
"Hahaha, good disciple, since you have entered the Qi Refining stage, you will cultivate with me from now on!"
Chunyang Sanren stroked his beard and laughed heartily.
"What, Master, you said I've entered the Qi Refining stage?" Zhang Ergou shrieked.
"Of course, Master would not misjudge. Do you still not believe in Master's discerning eye?"
Chunyang Sanren's face was full of smiles.
"Really, Master? But why haven't I felt anything?"
Zhang Ergou suppressed his excitement and voiced his doubt.
"Good disciple, were you injured yesterday? Lift your clothes and take a look, and you'll understand!"
Chunyang Sanren looked at Zhang Ergou with affectionate eyes.
Regarding this disciple he met by chance, Chunyang Sanren had only acted on a whim.
He never expected heaven to give him such a great surprise.
The day of my Misty Sect's resurgence is near, Chunyang Sanren thought to himself.
In just two days, he had gone from a complete novice who knew nothing to a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage. This was simply a genius among geniuses.
Even the founding ancestor of the Misty Sect, it was said, took over five days to enter the Qi Refining stage.
Zhang Ergou's heaven-defying comprehension was simply unparalleled.
Following Chunyang Sanren's words, Zhang Ergou obediently unbuttoned his top.
His skin was perfectly fine, showing no signs of injury whatsoever.
"Master, this...?"
If it weren't for the half-eaten wild boar still in the yard, Zhang Ergou would have thought his experience yesterday was a dream.
"This is the result of you entering the Qi Refining stage."
"Having entered the Qi Refining stage, you are no longer an ordinary mortal, but a true cultivator."
"Of course, the Qi Refining stage is only the initial stage for cultivators. You have only just entered it, and are only slightly stronger than an ordinary mortal." Su Dan Fiction Network
"Through meditation and cultivation, injuries to the body will be quickly repaired."
"This is also why your body has recovered completely!" Chunyang Sanren patiently explained to Zhang Ergou.
At his current level of cultivation, he had long lost interest in explaining such basic realms to others.
If it weren't for Zhang Ergou's extraordinary talent giving Chunyang Sanren such great surprise,
Chunyang Sanren would not have patiently explained so much to him.
"Master, does this mean I can now practice those powerful cultivation techniques?"
Zhang Ergou looked at Chunyang Sanren with great excitement.
Chunyang Sanren nodded, not wanting to dampen Zhang Ergou's spirits.
Although he had just entered the early stage of Qi Refining, Chunyang Sanren did not want to put too much pressure on Zhang Ergou.
After all, Zhang Ergou had only recently begun cultivating, and his Dao heart was not yet stable.
Telling him too much at this stage would definitely not be a good thing.
"Heh heh, I, Zhang Ergou, am a cultivator now. Let's see if they'll call me a scoundrel anymore!"
Zhang Ergou shouted excitedly.
"Ergou, what are you yelling about? I heard you were injured hunting a wild boar yesterday. Is it serious?"
Liu Cuilan appeared at the door, asking anxiously.
"Sister Cuilan, quickly come in. I'm fine now. Look, I've even saved some wild boar meat for you!"
Seeing Liu Cuilan come to check on him, Zhang Ergou instantly forgot about cultivation.
"You're really okay?" Liu Cuilan asked disbelievingly.
Zhang Ergou patted his chest, "I'm fine, completely fine. Look, I'm jumping around, aren't I?"
"But I heard them say you were seriously injured? That you even fainted yesterday?"
Liu Cuilan looked unconvinced.
"Of course, it's true. Believe me, ask my Master. Master, isn't that right!"
"Master? When did you get a Master?" Zhang Ergou had never left Xinshan Village before.
Liu Cuilan was quite familiar with his social circle.
"This is my Master. My Master is very powerful. He's the one who taught me to cultivate, and that's why my injuries healed so quickly."
Zhang Ergou pointed to Chunyang Sanren beside him and introduced him to Liu Cuilan.
"Is this possibly a con artist?" Liu Cuilan eyed the white-haired Chunyang Sanren suspiciously and warily.
Although Chunyang Sanren looked like a dignified person,
his sudden appearance in Xinshan Village made Liu Cuilan full of suspicion.
"Oh, Sister Cuilan, please don't doubt him. Master isn't a con artist; he's a Golden Core stage cultivator."
"He can fly on his sword. He's very powerful!"
Zhang Ergou revealed the little information he knew about Chunyang Sanren with pride.
"What is a Golden Core stage cultivator?" Liu Cuilan asked curiously.
"Uh!" Zhang Ergou looked pleadingly at Chunyang Sanren for help.
Chunyang Sanren watched Liu Cuilan and Zhang Ergou converse and did not speak.
Now that Zhang Ergou was asking for help, he couldn't remain silent any longer.
He was already being suspected of being a con artist, and if he didn't speak, his identity as a con artist would be confirmed.
Chunyang Sanren waved his hand, creating a barrier around them.
Of course, Zhang Ergou and Liu Cuilan didn't notice any of this.
To them, everything looked the same, but from outside the yard, they could no longer see the scene within.
"Young lady, look, this is the power of a Golden Core stage cultivator."
After setting up the barrier, Chunyang Sanren demonstrated the move he had used before Zhang Ergou.
Standing in mid-air.
Liu Cuilan stared at Chunyang Sanren with a look of utter astonishment.
She slowly turned her head, "Ergou, you say you will also be able to stand in mid-air like this gentleman in the future?"
Seeing Liu Cuilan's shocked expression, Zhang Ergou was immensely proud.
"Of course. Master just said that I will cultivate with him from now on, and I am now a true cultivator."
"Cultivating with your Master, does that mean you will have to leave Xinshan Village?"
Liu Cuilan asked nervously.
Zhang Ergou looked up at Chunyang Sanren, who was still standing in mid-air.
Chunyang Sanren nodded at him.
"Of course, if I am to cultivate with Master, I must follow him and cannot stay in Xinshan Village forever."
Suddenly, Zhang Ergou felt a pang of sadness.
After Zhang Ergou said this, Liu Cuilan suddenly grabbed his arm excitedly.
"Zhang Ergou, if you must go, then you have to take me with you. I don't care, if you're leaving, don't leave me behind!"
