Young Noble Be Monster Slaying

The disciples of Mount Shu around the area couldn't sit still after hearing these words.

Even though I don't know what you guys are talking about, this kid seems to be acting a bit too much!

How can you talk about achieving Perfect Qi Circulation so casually, as if it was as easy as drinking soup? Senior Sister Jiang had truly achieved the state of Perfect Qi Circulation at the fourth realm, which was an unparalleled achievement! Why are you, a Third Realm cultivator, pretending to be a big shot here?

Even if it's to gain Sister Jiang's attention, isn't this a bit too much?

In an instant, someone sarcastically remarked, "Since you're so skilled, you must have achieved Perfect Qi Circulation as well, right?"

Immediately, a chorus of mocking laughter erupted below in agreement.

Chu Liang felt somewhat powerless in this situation. His response came almost instinctively, as he had contemplated it while observing his Large-Headed Doll emitting smoke. He was not lying, but there was no way for him to prove it to the people present.

With a subtle smile, Chu Liang raised his arm and responded, "I was fortunate enough to briefly reach the state of Perfect Qi Circulation with the assistance of Miss Xue from the Southern Melody Conservatory, through her Morale-Boosting Melody: The Rise of the Azure Waves. As a result, I've gained some modest insights. However, I'm sure the senior brothers are far more knowledgeable on the subject. I humbly invite them to correct me if I've misspoken."

His words hung in the air, causing a momentary silence that caught everyone off guard.

Oh, so you really achieved the state of Perfect Qi Circulation at the third realm.

Then it's fine. Feel free to enlighten us as well...

Everyone present would know the Morale-Boosting Melody: The Rise of the Azure Waves. Indeed, some might even have had the opportunity to listen to this melody before.

To have Xue Lingxue of the Southern Melody Pavilion personally play this composition and assist in one's cultivation... That was a privilege not easily attained by just anyone.

Such treatment was certainly not something experienced casually by most cultivators.

Even if they had received the same treatment, it would have been unlikely for more than ten individuals present to attain the state of Perfect Qi Circulation. Even if they had assistance from others, they needed a profound understanding of the cultivation technique. This was a key point well aware by everyone present.

Upon deeper contemplation, the question naturally arose: What kind of relationship did he have with Miss Xue to warrant such special treatment? One wouldn't even dare to think about the possibilities.

A group of male disciples glared at Chu Liang, their frustration palpable as their teeth gritted in resentment. To them, the notion that a junior disciple at the third realm of cultivation could have such an experience felt more intolerable than facing death itself.

Furthermore, he had been publicly exchanging encrypted messages with Senior Sister Jiang, understood only by the two of them. It was like having a private conversation in front of everyone, which was simply infuriating to the extreme!

But when Jiang Yuebai heard him say that, it seemed like she remembered something. She snapped out of her contemplative state and nodded gently.

"You asked a very good question. I will delve into it later. Thank you, junior brother, please have a seat for now," she said calmly.

"...Okay," Chu Liang replied.

"Any other questions?" Jiang Yuebai looked around and asked.

Just as the crowd was eager to ask more questions, someone in the front raised their hand high into the air. Upon seeing this, everyone abandoned the idea of asking any further questions.

Because the individual who had raised their hand was Xu Ziyang, the eldest senior brother of Jade Sword Peak, who held a prestigious status within Mount Shu.

Who would dare to compete with him?

"Please," said Jiang Yuebai.

With sharp eyebrows and sparkling eyes, Xu Ziyang stood up abruptly. The entire place fell silent, as his presence resembled that of a sharp sword.

"You mentioned a special constitution isn't needed to achieve the Perfect Qi Circulation, and there should be seniors who are able to confirm this. But..." Xu Ziyang furrowed his brow and continued "I have tried executing the cultivation technique after the consumption of cultivation-enhancing pills. I felt like I reached the pinnacle, but I still couldn't attain that..."

Most people would feel embarrassed to ask that same question.

The reason was simple. If an ordinary disciple were to ask... "You claimed that anyone with an ordinary constitution would be able to attain that state, but why can't I?" Everyone would certainly refute and believe that the questioner had intentionally asked this question to cause a scene. They would say that the questioner lacked talent for cultivation and should reflect on himself instead of blaming it on his own ordinary constitution.

If the factor of the Transcendent Spirit constitution wasn't taken into consideration, everyone would agree that Xu Ziyang should be the most talented cultivator.

He was truly a genius.

If Xu Ziyang couldn't achieve it even when he had consumed cultivation-enhancing pills, no one else would have been able to achieve this.

"Mmm..." Jiang Yuebai pondered for a moment.

This was not an easy question.

She couldn't argue that Xu Ziyang wasn't strong enough, considering that many others hadn't achieved the state of Perfect Qi Circulation either. With each person having different reasons, it was challenging for her to explain the unique circumstances of each individual.

And at this moment...

A voice echoed in Xu Ziyang's ears.

"Are you a fool?!," it was the voice of his teacher, Wang Xuanling, that was coming from somewhere unknown, and only Xu Ziyang could hear it. The voice continued, "You're making things difficult for the girl! How do you expect her to respond?"

Xu Ziyang's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he responded, "Esteemed Teacher, didn't you instruct me to ask questions?"

Wang Xuanling responded, "I told you to ask questions so that you can interact with her. Maybe you and her will get to know each other, and perhaps become friends in the future. But what are you doing? Making it difficult for her?"

Wang Xuanling felt exasperated. He couldn't help but think that this disciple of his was even more dense than a rock.

From Wang Xuanling's point of view, this disciple of his excelled in many aspects and even bore a resemblance to himself in numerous ways. However, when it came to emotional intelligence, he was nothing short of a disaster.

Wang Xuanling had observed the scene for a while and urged Xu Ziyang to ask questions, hoping that Xu Ziyang would leave a good impression on Jiang Yuebai. However, Wang Xuanling never expected that the moment Xu Ziyang spoke, he would ruin the atmosphere and leave Jiang Yuebai with no chance of salvaging her reputation.

Although Jiang Yuebai was indeed thinking about the question seriously, the situation seemed to be in a deadlock.

And so, Wang Xuanling decided that if necessary, he would intervene to help alleviate the situation for Jiang Yuebai. There were certain things that Jiang Yuebai would never be able to say to Xu Ziliang. However, as Xu Ziyang's teacher, it would be acceptable for Wang Xuanling to publicly acknowledge that his disciple's cultivation level was not up to par.

As the awkward atmosphere continued to intensify, a clear voice suddenly rang out from the back of the crowd.

"It should be due to insufficient enhancement."

In this moment of utter silence, the voice instantly captured everyone's attention. When people turned to look, they discovered it was the same disciple who had asked a question earlier!

Why is he standing up again? Everyone wondered.

Haaa. The truth was that Chu Liang was also sighing. He truly felt reluctant to stand out in this manner as he knew that his behavior would have irked so many people. Nevertheless, he couldn't bear to witness Senior Sister Jiang in such a predicament and not take any action,

It just so happened that he had researched this particular question.

Following the cultivation-enhancement effect he experienced with the help of Xu Lingxue at South Gate City, he returned home still feeling unsatisfied.

At that time, he had spent a considerable amount of money to purchase pills that could enhance the circulation of foundational qi. However, he found it ineffective. Later on, he discovered the reason after some research.

"To achieve the state of Perfect Qi Circulation, it's not just about enhancing the flow of foundational qi; it requires a complete empowerment in essence, energy, and spirit, all merging into one," Chu Liang explained. "Improving the flow of foundational qi alone isn't enough to achieve Perfect Qi Circulation. It also meant that you would have to enhance the essence, qi, and spirit."

This was the knowledge he had gained from previous attempts.

After the failed attempt, Chu Liang realized that simply enhancing the flow of foundational qi wasn't enough to achieve Perfect Qi Circulation. With Xue Lingxue's Morale-Boosting Melody: The Rise of the Azure Waves, he succeeded and this was because the melody not only accelerated the flow of foundational qi but also boosted his essence, spirit, and other attributes like fighting spirit and vitality.

Jiang Yuebai's constitution of the Transcendent Spirit had likely achieved the same effects.

While achieving such holistic empowerment through other methods might pose challenges, there must be a way, considering that predecessors who achieved it must have had their means. At least, that's what Chu Liang suspected.

Xu Ziliang's failure demonstrated that achieving Perfect Qi Circulation couldn't be accomplished solely by relying on one's own strength.

Regardless, when it came to disciples with pure cultivation talent, Xu Ziyang stood at the peak. He gave up in the end because it was indeed challenging to achieve that state. Moreover, the cost was too high, even if it could be attained eventually, this was not a sustainable method.

With the Large-Headed Doll handling the heavy work, Chu Liang didn't need to exert so much effort himself to achieve this. This exemplified the principle that if one couldn't be promoted to lead the team, they would have to work themselves to death.

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Yuebai once again wore a thoughtful expression. She felt puzzled, understanding that Chu Liang wasn't speaking without reason but was instead hitting the mark.

Chu Liang asserted that he had only had Xue Lingxue play the qin once, briefly entering the state of Perfect Qi Circulation. However, given his profound understanding of this state, it didn't seem as brief as he claimed it to be.

And so, Jiang Yuebai began to doubt the number of times Chu Liang had listened to the qin and attempted to achieve this state.

Xu Ziyang also turned around and looked at Chu Liang with a contemplative gaze.

He didn't carry any sense of pride in his status; rather, he found Chu Liang's words reasonable and wanted to ask one more question.

"Are you saying that the key is to achieve a holistic empowerment of essence, energy, and spirit?" he asked.

"Not necessarily. This requires a thorough understanding and mastery of the cultivation technique. If someone fully comprehends and masters the technique and achieves holistic empowerment, success should follow," Chu Liang replied.

Xu Ziyang pondered for a moment before nodding, "I'll give it a try. Thank you."

"You're welcome," Chu Liang said with a smile.

After helping Jiang Yuebai out of the predicament, he elegantly took his seat.

The crowd around him stared with excitement and astonishment.

Did I hear correctly just now? Was he teaching Senior Brother Xu?

After teaching Fairy Jiang, he went on to teach Senior Brother Xu.

Do the two strongest geniuses of Mount Shu fall short compared to him?

Oh, my heavens.

Who is this nobody at the third realm, anyway?

In that moment of widespread astonishment, dark clouds silently gathered around the Azure Falling Peak.

Suddenly, it started raining and the rain turned out to be golden in color.
