102: Ji Wuchang and Xiao Fan are both going to gain experience.

In the main hall, Zhen Yaotian looked at Ji Wuchang with quite a bit of emotion!

Ji Wuchang sat on a chair below, his expression calm!

"Ji Wuchang, why did you strike Xiao Fan so heavily in the Secret Realm?"

Just then, Zhen Yaotian’s serious voice rang out, his eyes fixed on Ji Wuchang like sharp arrows!

Ji Wuchang was shocked inwardly; if he hadn't lived two lives, he would surely have panicked at this moment.

Because a faint pressure was emanating from Zhen Yaotian's body, making Ji Wuchang feel as if a great mountain had been placed upon him!

Ji Wuchang's mind raced, and countless thoughts flashed through his head.

If the Sect Master wanted to make trouble over this matter, he could only flee the Changsheng Sect.

But he felt that the other party was likely testing him and didn't actually know he was the one who did it.

Moreover, even if he did know, the Changsheng Sect had rules stating that no actions within the Secret Realm would be investigated!

In an instant, he cleared his thoughts!

Ji Wuchang intentionally looked dazed, a confused expression appearing in his eyes as he looked at Zhen Yaotian.

"Sect Master, I didn't even encounter Xiao Fan in the Secret Realm, so how could I have attacked him?"

"Furthermore, my cultivation at the time was not much different from Xiao Fan's. If we had fought, it would have surely ended in both sides being injured!"

"Besides, I have no personal grudge against Xiao Fan. It's just that we both come from Muye City and had one encounter there!"

"To be honest, before Muye City, I didn't even know Xiao Fan."

"However, he seems to know me and is quite hostile toward me. I don't know why that is."

"Also, I'm curious why the Sect Master thinks it was me. Could it be that Xiao Fan wants to retaliate because I injured him back in Muye City?"

Ji Wuchang spoke very sincerely, but his words also carried a hint of indignation, putting on a display of grievance and anger after being wrongly accused.

Meanwhile, he secretly communicated with Ji Yaoyao; if things went wrong, they would leave immediately!

Of course, if Ji Yaoyao acted, Zhen Yaotian would be no match for her.

But for the sake of his Senior Sister and Revered Master, Ji Wuchang was unwilling to do so!

Zhen Yaotian's eyes remained fixed on Ji Wuchang, taking in every change in his expression!

Especially Ji Wuchang's final counter-question made Zhen Yaotian secretly praise him in his heart; he was indeed a talent that Miaoqing had her eye on!

Zhen Yaotian suddenly smiled slightly, and the pressure on his body vanished instantly.

"Wuchang, what just happened was merely a test for you. After all, the Ancestral Land trial is of great importance, and there are only six trial opportunities in total!"

"Four have already been used, so this counts as the fifth!"

"Keep this bronze medallion; it is the key to opening the Ancestral Land."

"Additionally, this Jade Slip records everything about the Ancestral Land. Memorize it, as I will be taking the Jade Slip back!"

As Zhen Yaotian spoke, he waved his hand, and a bronze medallion and a Jade Slip appeared before Ji Wuchang!

Ji Wuchang was not polite and directly took the bronze medallion.

Then, he grabbed the Jade Slip with his left hand and noticed a faint crack on it.

Ji Wuchang didn't think much of it. His Divine Soul surged into it, and a large amount of information instantly appeared in his mind!

A moment later, Ji Wuchang's Divine Soul withdrew from the Jade Slip, his eyes filled with complexity!

He was no stranger to the place mentioned in the Jade Slip: Beast Burial Mountain, one of the more dangerous places in Bo Yun State!

Loose Cultivators from Bo Yun State often went there for adventures.

In his past life, Ji Wuchang had been there once because there were some unexplored areas in Beast Burial Mountain that contained very old Foundation Nurturing Grass!

Ji Wuchang had wanted a five-hundred-year-old one to refine a Foundation Nurturing Pill and completely heal his Meridians.

But the result was as expected—he gained nothing and was even heavily injured!

One could say that Beast Burial Mountain was a place of heartbreak for Ji Wuchang in his past life.

But Ji Wuchang hadn't expected that the Changsheng Sect's Ancestral Land would actually be within Beast Burial Mountain!

Crack!

A faint sound came from the Jade Slip, and the crack on it grew even larger!

Ji Wuchang returned the Jade Slip to Zhen Yaotian and cupped his hands, saying, "Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Zhen Yaotian nodded with a smile, then spoke, "Miaoqing said before she left that you are a very good Disciple!"

"Miaoqing has always been proud and arrogant; there aren't many people she praises!"

"Cultivate well. Although my Changsheng Sect is small, it can accommodate any Genius!"

"We aren't afraid of you being stronger than us! On the contrary, we hope you become as strong as possible!"

"The hope of the Changsheng Sect doesn't lie with us old fogies, but with you!"

"Go, I hope you can give us a surprise when you return!"

"The Sect Competition is also coming up soon. I hope you can create another miracle during the competition!"

Hearing Zhen Yaotian's words, Ji Wuchang couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

He believed Zhen Yaotian's words; when it came to nurturing Disciples, the Changsheng Sect was absolutely beyond reproach, as he had witnessed in his past life!

However, the judgment of the Changsheng Sect's higher-ups was average, especially the Sect Leader before him, who was too sentimental, which was why an ungrateful wolf like Cai Ping was cultivated!

As for Xiao Fan, he was even less of a good person!

But naturally, Ji Wuchang couldn't say these things to Zhen Yaotian. Instead, he cupped his hands and said, "Rest assured, Sect Leader, this Disciple will work hard!"

After Ji Wuchang finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, stood up, and left!

Not long after Ji Wuchang left the hall, Xiao Fan appeared from the side; his injuries had actually healed within two days.

Moreover, his cultivation had climbed again, reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"Revered Master!"

Xiao Fan bowed to Zhen Yaotian!

Zhen Yaotian nodded and then said, "You heard the conversation just now. The matter in the Secret Realm should have nothing to do with him!"

"You possess a Heaven Rank root bone, so it's natural for others to be jealous. It's normal for someone to strike in secret!"

"As Ji Wuchang said, if he had acted, you wouldn't have been left without any power to resist!"

"To be able to do that, one's cultivation must be at least at the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

"However, the Sect will not investigate anyone's responsibility within the Secret Realm. Let this matter end here!"

After Zhen Yaotian finished speaking, his tone became a bit sterner!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fan nodded, his hatred for Cai Ping deepening in his heart.

He was already certain it was Cai Ping; testing Ji Wuchang was merely to dispel that sliver of doubt in his mind.

If Ji Wuchang had possessed his current cultivation before entering the Secret Realm, then Xiao Fan would have definitely listed him as the primary suspect!

Regardless, he still wanted to kill Ji Wuchang. He felt in his heart that if this person wasn't eliminated, there would be great trouble!

Xiao Fan suppressed the hatred and killing intent in his heart, then cupped his hands and said, "Revered Master, this Disciple wishes to go out for training for a period of time to consolidate my cultivation!"

"At the same time, I want to adjust my mindset and prepare for the Foundation Establishment Realm! I hope for Revered Master's permission!"

Zhen Yaotian thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's good to go out and clear your head!"

"However, your Foundation is currently unstable, and your Meridians and Dantian still need time to recover. Do not rush into Foundation Establishment."

"The path of cultivation isn't about being fast at one step and thus fast at every step!"

"Building a solid Foundation and accumulating strength before releasing it is the correct choice!"

"Keep this Jade Slip. It's what I promised you last time; it contains a single strike with thirty percent of my power for your protection!"

After Zhen Yaotian finished speaking, he took a Jade Slip from his robe and handed it to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Revered Master!"

Zhen Yaotian nodded and then left the hall!

Xiao Fan looked at the Jade Slip in his hand, a cold glint appearing in his eyes!
