Ji Changfeng and Tian Ling'er left the Taiji Cave.
On the way back, Tian Ling'er crossed her arms, pouting and acting as if she didn't want to talk. Every time Ji Changfeng glanced in her direction,
she would feign anger and coldly huff.
Ji Changfeng simply smiled and said nothing.
He had always indulged Tian Ling'er over the years, but that was when she was still young. It was different now.
Little Ling'er had grown into a young woman.
He couldn't keep indulging her.
Zhang Xiaofan walked at the back, looking at his angry senior sister and then at the indifferent Ji Changfeng. He couldn't help but scratch his head...
Senior Brother Seven and Senior Sister were always like this.
Uh, no.
It should be said that Senior Sister always acted very coy in front of Senior Brother Seven...
Zhang Xiaofan felt some envy in his heart.
He felt that Senior Sister should like Senior Brother Seven.
Therefore, he had hidden his own inappropriate thoughts a long time ago...
Senior Sister was so outstanding and beautiful; perhaps only Senior Brother Seven was worthy of her, right? Zhang Xiaofan thought silently.
But in reality, Ji Changfeng didn't have those kinds of feelings for Tian Ling'er. From the very beginning, he'd treated her like a daughter, indulging her...
However, Tian Ling'er had grown up now.
He shouldn't indulge her anymore.
Ji Changfeng and the other two arrived at Shoujing Hall.
Entering the hall, the senior brothers from Great Bamboo Peak were all eating, and Tian Buyi and his wife were also there...
"Hmm?"
"Changfeng, you've come out of seclusion?"
Su Ru noticed Ji Changfeng immediately, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
Tian Buyi was also somewhat pleased, but he didn't express it as openly as Su Ru. He merely said, rather reservedly, "Seventh, you've finished your closed-door cultivation?"
Ji Changfeng smiled faintly and gave a slight bow to Tian Buyi and his wife, saying, "Disciple Ji Changfeng greets Master and Mistress!"
Su Ru said with some anticipation, "Changfeng, you..."
"How is your cultivation now?"
Four years ago, Ji Changfeng had already reached the fifth layer of Jade Clarity. Now, four years had passed. She wondered just how far Ji Changfeng's cultivation had progressed.
The ninth layer of Jade Clarity?
Or perhaps...
High Clarity?
Tian Buyi also looked at Ji Changfeng with anticipation.
The surrounding senior brothers, including Tian Ling'er, all turned their gazes towards Ji Changfeng. They were all curious about Ji Changfeng's current cultivation level.
Facing everyone's attention.
Ji Changfeng smiled faintly. He didn't directly state his cultivation level, but instead said in a tactful manner: "Master, Mistress."
"The Seven Peaks Tournament's first place is already in Great Bamboo Peak's pocket!"
As soon as these words came out.
The surrounding senior brothers were immediately shocked.
"Seventh Junior Brother already has the confidence to take first place in the Seven Peaks Tournament?"
"Feel—"
"This year's Seven Peaks Tournament has many top contenders. Without exception, they're all at the Jade Clarity eighth or ninth layer. Seventh Junior Brother, could it be that you have already…"
Ji Changfeng smiled without speaking.
After four years of diligent cultivation, his cultivation had reached the High Clarity first layer!
If he hadn't taken time in between to learn some knowledge of alchemy, refining artifacts, and formations, and also frequently left seclusion to go to Tongtian Peak to drink and chat with Wan Jianyi and the others…
Perhaps his cultivation would have advanced even further.
Probably around the High Clarity third or fourth layer?
But to be honest.
For Ji Changfeng, his current High Clarity first layer cultivation was already sufficient…
Combined with various sword techniques.
His combat strength was enough to rival the older generation of High Clarity experts.
Just like the Ghost King Sect's Four Holy Envoys, if they were to fight one-on-one, none of them would be a match for Ji Changfeng...
Tian Buyi and Su Ru exchanged glances.
Surprise flickered in their eyes.
If Ji Changfeng had truly broken through to High Clarity...
Then the first place in this Seven Peaks Tournament would definitely belong to Great Bamboo Peak!
"Senior Sister-in-law, I've recently refined a pill that should be quite suitable for you..."
Ji Changfeng said with a smile.
"Oh? What kind of pill?" Su Ru asked, curious.
Tian Ling'er, who was standing to the side, quietly perked up her ears.
The pill?
Could it be those few that Ji Changfeng had just refined?
Ji Changfeng chuckled and said, "Appearance-Preserving Pill."
With that, he took out the pill and handed it to Su Ru, explaining,
"The Appearance-Preserving Pill, as the name suggests, can keep one's appearance from aging, fixing it at its peak. Just one pill…"
"...is enough to maintain your appearance for a hundred years!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ru's beautiful eyes widened.
Maintain your appearance for a hundred years?!
This…
The surrounding senior brothers all exclaimed in surprise.
Su Ru held the pill in her hands, as if she had found a treasure.
If the Appearance-Preserving Pill's effects were really as Ji Changfeng said, then... this one Appearance-Preserving Pill was enough to cause a sensation among the female cultivators.
"Ji Changfeng! I want one too!"
At this moment, Tian Ling'er looked over expectantly.
As a female cultivator, the Appearance-Preserving Pill was a deadly temptation!
No woman could resist it.
Ji Changfeng smiled faintly, teasing, "Oh? Little senior sister, didn't you just say you wouldn't take it even if I gave it to you?"
"I..."
Tian Ling'er's pretty face flushed slightly, she was about to say something.
"Swish——"
But just then, a dazzling sword light flashed past not far away.
Someone had flown directly to Great Bamboo Peak on a sword!?
"Hmm?" Tian Buyi's face immediately darkened.
Flying in on a sword, directly into Great Bamboo Peak? Wasn't this just a blatant disregard for his face!? Among the seven peaks of Qingyun, Tongtian Peak had a formation, so flying was forbidden, and the other six peaks had tacitly agreed to a rule as a result—
"No flying above the peaks without permission!"
Shoujing Hall was the core area of Great Bamboo Peak.
Now, someone had directly flown in, wasn't that breaking the rules?!
"Presumptuous!"
Tian Buyi slammed his hand on the armrest, his face filled with anger.
Su Ru frowned; usually good-tempered, she remained silent.
"Xiaofan? Xiaofan!"
At that moment, a cheer echoed outside Shoujing Hall.
Looking out...
Ji Changfeng saw a spirited young man enter Shoujing Hall, brandishing a magic treasure.
"Jingyu?" Zhang Xiaofan looked surprised.
"Xiaofan, it's been a while…" Lin Jingyu started to greet Zhang Xiaofan, but a sharp rebuke suddenly echoed from behind him:
"Junior Brother Lin, this is Great Bamboo Peak, don't create a commotion!"
"…" The disciples of Great Bamboo Peak were speechless.
So, you actually know this is Great Bamboo Peak?!
Everyone turned their gaze to the outside of Shoujing Hall, where they saw a young man in white robes respectfully walk in, holding a cold ice sword.
"Qi Hao, a disciple of Dragon Head Peak, greets Senior Uncle Tian, Senior Uncle Su, and all the fellow disciples of Great Bamboo Peak."
Qi Hao performed a respectful bow towards Tian Buyi.
At this moment, Lin Jingyu also reacted.
He immediately bowed to Tian Buyi and his wife, saying, "Lin Jingyu, disciple of Dragon Head Peak, greets Uncle Tian and Aunt Su."
Seeing this scene.
Tian Buyi remained silent, his face cold.
Su Ru frowned, and she glanced at Ji Changfeng, also saying nothing...
Ji Changfeng understood.
He immediately stepped forward and, in a calm tone, asked Lin Jingyu:
"Junior Brother Lin? Flying in the air is strictly forbidden in the main hall of the Seven Peaks. Don't you know that?"
"Huh?" Lin Jingyu shook his head, looking somewhat bewildered. "I didn't know."
Didn't know?
Ji Changfeng's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.
He then looked at Qi Hao, and said lightly, "Senior Brother Qi Hao, as the senior brother of Dragon Head Peak, haven't you instructed Junior Brother Lin about this?"
Qi Hao's face stiffened slightly.
He hurriedly bowed to Tian Buyi and his wife, saying, "I was negligent in this matter, please forgive me, Uncle Tian."
After saying that, Qi Hao turned to scold Lin Jingyu, saying:
"Junior Brother Lin, why aren't you apologizing to Uncle Tian?"
Seeing this scene, Ji Changfeng's eyes narrowed slightly.
What a clever tactic, deflecting the blame!
Clearly, it was his own mistake, yet he wanted to shift the anger onto Lin Jingyu?
Heh.
This Qi Hao isn't simple!
He truly lived up to his age, being an old man of over a hundred years.
Ji Changfeng didn't bother giving this person any face, and said calmly, "It's Qi Hao Senior Brother who should be apologizing. Junior Brother Lin has only been here for five years. There are some things that you, as the senior brother, should be teaching him, but instead, you 'guided' him into making a mistake?!"
"Tsk tsk tsk."
Ji Changfeng said, as if he was implying something.
The moment those words left his mouth, the expressions of everyone present shifted dramatically.
