With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Chapter 1356 Genius and Double System 57

"What? Zhen'er, you've broken through to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop?" As an old cultivator, Ji Wujiu was still shocked to realize Zhen'er's cultivation level.

Having cultivated for many years, he had only seen such a rapid advancement in one person: Lin Ya.

Mentioning Lin Ya reminded him of the news he had just received: Lin Ya's cultivation seemed to have recovered to the Golden Core stage, though the specifics were still unknown. Many powerful figures from the sect had gone to investigate. He had gone a few times before, but this time he wasn't interested and didn't go. Unexpectedly, his junior disciple emerged from seclusion not long after, giving him such a big surprise.

However, he couldn't help but recall several times when his junior disciple's cultivation broke through, and Lin Ya's cultivation also improved. When his junior disciple's cultivation declined, Lin Ya also encountered a similar situation.

Once or twice is one thing, but it's been happening every single time lately, so it's impossible not to think about it. Of course, the sect had already made various guesses about this situation. But at this moment, he suddenly felt that Lin Ya was acting somewhat strangely.

Ji Wujiu was still worried about his junior disciple's cultivation level. He checked him over and found that his foundation was solid and there were no other problems, which put his mind at ease.

“I just received news that Lin Ya’s cultivation has recovered to the Golden Core stage. Many of the sect’s experts have gone there to check on her, wanting to know if the hidden danger in her talent has been resolved. I wonder what the result is. Why don’t you come with me to take a look?” Ji Wujiu said.

As Ji Wujiu arrived at the main peak, many people noticed Azhen, especially those with higher cultivation levels. Judging from her aura, they understood that she had successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. Confirming this was true, they all congratulated Azhen. At the same time, they couldn't help but think of Lin Ya's cultivation, which had also recovered to the Golden Core stage.

Those who don't think that deeply simply see it as a double blessing.

Those who think deeply don't say anything, but they're internally speculating about various possibilities.

[This Yun Zhen, her talent is truly exceptional. Not only did she successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage, but she also broke through to the peak of the Out-of-Body stage in one fell swoop. Isn't she a monster? Even with her talent, simple seclusion shouldn't have resulted in such rapid cultivation.]

As soon as Azhen stepped into Lin Ya's residence, she heard the other party say this to the system with a sour tone.

Lin Ya was happy that her cultivation had recovered, but she couldn't help but feel jealous of Azhen's situation.

Even though the facts were right in front of her, she just couldn't accept them.

[Host, don't worry. It seems Yun Zhen has overcome this hurdle. Your cultivation will only become smoother from now on. It won't be long before you easily surpass her in cultivation. Once you reach a certain level, surpassing her cultivation and reputation, and regaining the title of the number one genius in the cultivation world, your binding value with her will be full, and you can unbind from her and no longer be affected by her.] The system reassured him, feeling very happy that Yun Zhen's cultivation had improved.

Lin Ya calmed down, her tone tinged with arrogance: "That's true, we shouldn't stoop to her level. If she gets further hurt and her mental state is affected, it could negatively impact her cultivation; that would be a net loss."

Lin Ya had already decided that before she was freed from Yun Zhen's clutches, she would never provoke or show off in front of him again. She had learned her lesson from the past and didn't want any more accidents to happen.

From the conversation between the individual and the system, A-Zhuang learned that there were quite a few conditions that needed to be met to maximize the binding value.

However, none of this matters anymore.

She's monitoring the entire system, and she'll be able to resolve this matter soon.

Now, what she's most curious about isn't Yin Yu anymore. Judging from his behavior, he's very likely someone from the Demon Clan who somehow possessed Wen Nanfeng's body.

What she was most curious about was the riddle the system had played with Lin Ya that day: what exactly was Lin Ya's background?

As their thoughts returned to normal, everyone's eyes were already on Azhen. They were surprised to learn that her cultivation had broken through, and that she had even reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Then they were overjoyed.

In that case, their Heavenly Extreme Sect is likely to make a name for themselves in this year's Challenge Tournament. Most importantly, the cultivation levels of the sect's two geniuses are, for the time being, stable.

The sect's experts still couldn't find anything wrong with Lin Ya's talent. Her ability to quickly recover to the Golden Core stage meant that Lin Ya was still highly regarded.

Afterwards, even those sect disciples who had previously distanced themselves from Lin Ya couldn't help but fawn over her, as if they had forgotten their previous coldness.

After Lin Ya's condition stabilized, she went to Refining Fire Peak and resumed refining weapons.

Lin Ya made rapid progress in weapon crafting, which amazed everyone in the sect, who exclaimed that their Tianji Sect had produced another genius weapon crafter.

In just one month, Lin Ya was able to refine a top-grade spiritual weapon, and even more people fawned over her.

Many disciples believed that while Senior Sister Yun was skilled in weapon crafting, she was always either crafting or cultivating, and what she crafted was entirely up to her own whim. If they had good materials, asking her to craft weapons wouldn't be a problem. However, most disciples simply couldn't possibly gather all the necessary materials.

Lin Ya, on the other hand, was more approachable and easier to talk to. Sometimes, before refining a weapon, she would ask what they needed and refine it according to their requirements. Even though buying spiritual weapons was still done by lottery, with a bit of luck, they had a good chance of getting the magic weapon they wanted. Even if they didn't win, they could exchange it with others.

Lin Ya felt a slight sense of relief as she watched her reputation gradually return and many people once again forget about Chu Feifei's existence.

[It's already quite a stretch for someone with Golden Core cultivation to be able to refine top-grade spiritual artifacts. To advance further, one needs to improve their cultivation level.] Lin Ya was somewhat troubled. She had inherited some of Mo Wuchen's talent for refining artifacts, and since Mo Wuchen had made progress recently, she had naturally improved as well.

If it weren't for the limitations of her cultivation level, she could probably refine magic weapons that surpass even top-grade spiritual artifacts, making her far more powerful than Yun Zhen.

[Forget it, I can't hurt Yunzhen right now, let's leave it at that for now, what if she gets upset again?] Lin Ya suddenly stopped herself from thinking. She had just subconsciously compared herself to Yunzhen and almost ruined things.

Little did she know that while A-Zhan was displaying her skill in crafting top-grade spiritual artifacts, she had actually already prepared a semi-divine artifact for her master, Ji Wujiu. Even with Mo Wuchen's assistance, it was beyond Lin Ya's current skill level to compete with.

If she found out, she would probably be the one who loses her composure.

However, Azhen had no interest in comparing these things with Lin Ya.

"The Challenge Tournament will be held in ten days. This time it will be held in Wengcheng. You two should prepare well and set off tomorrow," Ji Wujiu said to Azhen and Wen Nanfeng. Of course, not every disciple of the sect can participate in the Challenge Tournament; it definitely requires disciples who can demonstrate their abilities at all levels.

Each major sect has its own large and small competitions, and the winners are selected directly based on their rankings.

If there are any special circumstances, and they are justified, then adding them in won't hurt.

"I will be guarding the sect this time, so I won't be accompanying you. There are other powerful figures in the sect, so you can follow them. The demons are rampant these days, so you must be careful while you're out there," Ji Wujiu said. The barbican is not close to here, and the sect definitely needs someone to guard it to prevent the rampant demons from taking advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack.

This time, all the peak masters will stay behind to guard the area. (End of Chapter)
