Has Sword Master considered taking on a disciple? It's not that the Sacred Body is difficult to cultivate, but rather that the Overlord Body is more challenging.

After Ye Hao left, the atmosphere in the office relaxed slightly.

Li Fan rubbed his chin thoughtfully, then turned his gaze toward the illusory figure beside him.

"Old Jian..."

He hesitated for a moment and asked with a suspicious look on his Face:

"Did you... take an interest in that student, Ye Hao?"

"Oh?"

Old Jian raised an eyebrow, looking at his disciple with a faint smile.

"What makes you say that?"

Li Fan shrugged and analyzed bluntly:

"Since the assessment that day, I noticed that your gaze has barely left him."

"And during the conversation just now, your attitude toward him was also very favorable."

"Even after learning that his Physique was flawed, you weren't disappointed; instead, you specifically pointed out a path for him and even encouraged his fighting spirit..."

"This doesn't seem like your usual style."

Having spent so much time with Old Jian, Li Fan knew the old man too well.

Usually, when he saw a slightly lesser Genius, he wouldn't even bother to look up, calling them 'rotten wood' or 'mediocre talent.'

He wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death that Old Jian didn't have some intentions after showing so much concern for Ye Hao today.

"What?!"

Upon hearing Li Fan's analysis, Li Zhanjun's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise:

"Could it be... Senior Jian intends to take that kid as a disciple?"

"If that's the case, that would be wonderful!"

"With a Saint like you personally teaching him, this kid will definitely achieve great things in the future!"

Facing everyone's expectant gazes, Old Jian didn't hide anything.

He stroked his beard and smiled, nodding frankly.

"Hehe, indeed."

"I do have such an intention."

"That kid's stubborn refusal to give up really suits my temperament!"

Speaking of this, Old Jian's tone actually carried a hint of eagerness.

"Moreover..."

"Compared to the Innate Sacred Demonic Dao Fetus, which is destined to become an Emperor, and the Taiyin Sacred Body, which has a great chance to prove the dao as long as it doesn't perish prematurely..."

"This Tai Cang Overlord Body, although it has Innate shackles, is precisely why cultivating it is more challenging!"

"Don't you think..."

"If I can personally break that eternal curse and forcibly Cultivate a Physique destined never to become an Emperor into a Supreme Great Emperor who suppresses the current era..."

"Wouldn't that sense of achievement be much more satisfying than cultivating a Prodigy who has everything going for them?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Good grief!

Is this the Realm of a big shot?

Others want to take disciples with great talent who are easy to manage.

But this one specifically picks the difficult and challenging ones to level up?

It's not that Sacred Bodies are hard to Cultivate, but that cultivating a Hegemon Body is more challenging, right?

"Of course, at this stage, I'm not ready to officially take him in yet."

Just as everyone was secretly admiring him, Old Jian shook his head again.

"It's still too early to take him in now."

"At the very least... I'll only consider it after he successfully completes the Awakening of his Physique."

"Awakening his Physique?"

Gu Zhiyun blinked and asked curiously, "He's eating so aggressively right now; does that not count as Awakening?"

In her view, the spectacle of devouring thousands of Medicinal Pills in one go was already terrifying enough.

"How does that count as Awakening?"

Old Jian sneered.

"At most, that's just... laying a foundation for a body that's been starved for a long time, slightly activating a tiny bit of vitality."

"It's still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from a true Awakening!"

After saying this, Old Jian's expression turned solemn, giving everyone present a warning.

"You need to be mentally prepared."

"This Physique is a bottomless pit!"

"Awakening requires massive resources, and the resources needed for Cultivation after Awakening will also be an unimaginable figure!"

"You..."

"Must be prepared to be eaten into poverty!"

"..."

As expected.

Once Old Jian finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the office became strange.

Good grief... he hasn't even awakened yet, and thousands of Grade 2 Pills have already gone down the drain.

If he truly awakens... how terrifying would that be?

Would he really eat the Great Xia treasury empty?

"Sigh, no problem!"

After a brief silence, Li Zhanjun waved his hand and broke the deadlock heroically.

"Since the child has this talent, as his elders, we can't let him go hungry!"

"I don't believe it!"

"With so many people in Great Xia and such a large family business, can we really not afford to support one person?"

"Exactly!" others agreed with smiles and nods. "As long as we can Cultivate a Great Emperor, any amount of resources spent is worth it!"

Seeing everyone's attitude, which was pained but unwavering, Old Jian nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, as long as you're aware."

"Fortunately, although this Physique is a big eater, it also has some advantages."

"That is, it's not a picky eater."

"Spiritual Qi, Medicinal Pills, even Yao Beast essence blood—as long as it contains energy, it can swallow it!"

"This can at least lighten the burden a bit."

At the end, Old Jian seemed to remember something and mentioned it casually:

"However, if you can get some Heaven And Earth Treasures with extremely abundant energy for him..."

"It could greatly speed up the rate of that kid's Physique Awakening."

Hearing this, Lin Xiyue's eyes lit up, and she silently committed these words to memory.

For her, the faster Ye Hao awakened, the better!

After all, if Ye Hao awakened his Physique, it would be the same as her own brother Awakening his!

"Alright, that's all for now."

"My Soul Body hasn't fully recovered yet. After lecturing for so long, I'm a bit tired."

"I'll go back and rest now."

Last time, to help Shen Qingyi awaken her Physique, Old Jian consumed quite a bit of energy, and his Soul Body is still somewhat illusory.

Forcing himself to come out and give guidance today was already his limit.

"Okay, Old Grandfather, go rest quickly. Thank you for your hard work!"

Lin Xiyue nodded obediently.

Then, Old Jian's figure flickered slightly, turning into a streak of light that dove back into the iron sword, becoming silent.

"Tsk, well."

"Since everything has been handled."

"I also need to go and prepare."

Seeing the main character leave, Gu Zhiyun also stretched, looked at everyone, and said with a chuckle:

"After all... according to the schedule, it's this young lady's turn to give the Formation class to those students this afternoon!"

"I need to go prepare for the lesson, lest I get stumped by a question and lose Face for the Director!"

With that, she also prepared to take her leave.

"Xiao Yun, wait!"

Seeing this, Lin Xiyue's eyes rolled, and she immediately approached.

"I happen to be free right now; how about I go and help you?"

She knew that Gu Zhiyun's so-called 'lesson prep' was actually going to the base's warehouse to pick out some suitable Materials to use as teaching aids.

Since she was free anyway, she might as well join in the fun.

"Of course you can!"

"With Sister Yue's help to consult, that would be perfect!"

Gu Zhiyun naturally had no objection and was even quite happy, taking Lin Xiyue's arm to walk out the door.

"Let's go!"

"Us two sisters are going to raid the warehouse!"

However.

After they had only taken a few steps, Gu Zhiyun suddenly felt her arm tighten as the person beside her stopped.

"Hmm?"

"Sister Yue? What's wrong?"

She turned her head in confusion, only to find Lin Xiyue standing dazed in place.

"Oh, Xiao Yun, sorry!"

Lin Xiyue came to her senses and looked at Gu Zhiyun, speaking somewhat urgently:

"I might not be able to go!"

"Just now... My Brother suddenly contacted me!"

"I need to go quickly and check the situation!"

"Brother Mo contacted you?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhiyun's expression also tightened, and she immediately put away her playful look.

"This is a big deal, we can't be careless!"

"Sister Yue, go quickly! Don't worry about me, I'll just go to the warehouse by myself!"

Gu Zhiyun sensibly let go of her hand and urged her.

"Mm-hmm, then I'll leave first!"

With that, Lin Xiyue didn't delay any further.

With a flash of her figure, she carved a Spatial Rift right where she stood.

She hurriedly found the nearest Quiet Room and dove in, preparing to connect to Lin Mo's communication immediately!
