Lv Yao’s talent was already good enough, but this Jin Cenglv’s talent was even better than Lv Yao’s, as if the ancestors of the Mysterious Sect were chasing after her to feed her.
If this were still Aquamarine Star, Gu Zhiqi would certainly have lured the person into her own Master’s Sect.
Murmuring to herself, Jin Cenglv then sat down cross-legged and began to meditate with closed eyes.
Seeing Jin Cenglv do this, Lv Yao figured out that she was probably about to advance.
Lv Yao felt a bit envious but at the same time, somewhat relieved inside that he’d brought his senior sister along.
"Master, so you have a sect too, may I ask which sect you are from?" Seeing that Jin Cenglv seemed unlikely to recover anytime soon, Lv Yao approached Gu Zhiqi and asked with evident curiosity.
To be able to cultivate a Mystic Master as outstanding as the Master, the sect must be very formidable indeed.
"It’s a secluded sect, not convenient to reveal," Gu Zhiqi said, blatantly making things up.
Hearing Gu Zhiqi say this, Lv Yao, despite his curiosity, didn’t feel it was appropriate to inquire further but instead looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked another question, "Master, how should I understand the saying ’The Way of Immortality values life and limitless is its capacity to save people’?"
If he understood it, perhaps he could also reach a new level in his cultivation, just like his senior sister.
"You’ll know once you experience it," Gu Zhiqi casually responded.
Lv Yao "..." Okay then.
Jin Cenglv’s aura kept rising, and the time it took to advance was becoming excessively prolonged, to an abnormal extent.
The joy in Lv Yao’s heart for Jin Cenglv’s advancement was wiped clean, and a trace of worry finally crept onto his brow, "Master, there won’t be any trouble with my senior sister, right?"
The joy in his heart faded, and he began to worry.
Previously, he had only been excited about his senior sister’s advancement, but he had overlooked an issue.
That was, his senior sister was currently at the peak of the Fourth-order, and the next step was Fifth-order.
Lv Yao did not know what it was like to advance from the peak of the Fourth-order to a Fifth-order Mystic Master, but he knew that in nearly five hundred years, Xia Country had seen only one Mystic Master, and that was five hundred years ago.
How many people stopped at the peak of the Fourth-order, and how many perished in the process of advancing from Fourth to Fifth-order?
The more he thought about it, the more concern filled Lv Yao’s heart, his hands clenched tightly together, and his brows furrowed.
Gu Zhiqi stood beside, watching Jin Cenglv, who was yet to succeed in advancing, her eyes also showing a hint of doubt.
By all accounts, the advancement should have been successful by now; why was it taking so long?
"Master! She’s spitting blood, my senior sister is spitting blood." Seeing a trace of blood spill from Jin Cenglv’s mouth, Lv Yao suddenly cried out in a voice tinged with unmistakable panic.
Gu Zhiqi naturally saw it too and slightly furrowed her brow before stepping toward Jin Cenglv.
Lv Yao immediately followed Gu Zhiqi’s steps, "Master, my senior sister, she..."
"Stand here and don’t come any closer," Gu Zhiqi said to Lv Yao, then she approached Jin Cenglv herself.
As she got close to Jin Cenglv, Gu Zhiqi felt the aura emanating from Jin Cenglv repelling her.
This was the self-protective energy shield of a Mystic Master during advancement.
With a slight flick of her wrist, an energy shield appeared around Gu Zhiqi.
As the shield rose, the repelling aura instantly dissipated, and Gu Zhiqi sat down cross-legged behind Jin Cenglv.
Another flick of her wrist, and her palm carried Yuan Force; she placed it on Jin Cenglv’s back and said, "Abandon your original Yuan Force circulation path, follow my guidance, and start anew."
Not long after Gu Zhiqi’s words fell, the aura on Jin Cenglv’s body slowly changed, and her tightly furrowed brow also gradually relaxed.
