Chapter 54: Shoulder to Shoulder with Immortals
Chapter 54: Shoulder to Shoulder with Immortals
In the front courtyard of the martial arts academy, Shen Congyun observed Jiang Ning, appearing calm on the surface, but his heart was anything but serene.
Two months ago, he had given Wang Jin the introductory volume of the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique, and now, he detected the essence of the Sun's Radiance in a third person besides Wang Jin.
The residual information from the breath control of the Sun's Radiance was precisely the characteristic of practicing the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.
Naturally, he understood that the young man had clearly also cultivated the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique and achieved considerable success.
Just like Wang Jin's success in cultivating the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique to the introductory level.
It was this realization that stirred up emotions within Shen Congyun at this moment.
These emotions were not because he disagreed with Wang Jin's dissemination of the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique.
Instead, it was because the cultivation requirements of the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique were not simple. Only those with innate spiritual acumen, aided by his secret medicinal formula, could sense the essence of the Sun's Radiance during the rising of the great sun.
Only by experiencing this energy could one breathe in the essence of the Sun's Radiance, tempering the internal organs, and thus cultivate this supreme technique that surpassed even the highest martial arts.
He was also well aware that the amount of the secret medicine he had previously provided to Wang Jin was not much, and Wang Jin's cultivation progress was insufficient for the two of them to cultivate the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique to the introductory level.
So, there was only one possibility left.
That was that this young man didn't need the secret medicine he provided to sense the essence of the Sun's Radiance during the rising of the great sun.
It was this outrageous talent that shocked him the most.
Only the top-tier naturally gifted individuals could achieve this.
If such talent existed in ancient times, in his opinion, they would have the potential to become a peer to immortals.
Shen Congyun's gaze once again quietly fell upon Jiang Ning, and he muttered to himself.
"There are no such coincidences in this world. This kid must have either secretly learned Wang Jin's Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique or received secret teachings from Wang Jin."
"Regardless of the reason, it doesn't matter now."
"I've only given Wang Jin the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique for two months, and this kid has managed to cultivate it to the introductory level without the aid of secret medicine."
"This is enough to prove his innate talent and comprehension are exceptionally high, and he is a top-tier naturally gifted individual!"
"With the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique, he will undoubtedly reach the Great Success realm, achieving the Thunder Sounds of the Five Viscera and the state of Inner Breath Like a Gale."
"He is still young, and with his talent and my assistance, this kid is destined to enter the Fifth Rank, and the possibility of achieving the Fourth Rank is also high! The likelihood of him attaining the Grandmaster seat is higher than mine and Wang Jin's!"
"Such a naturally gifted individual is even more suitable for cultivating the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique than Wang Jin. I must not let this opportunity pass!"
"However, it's a pity! This young man is a top-tier naturally gifted individual, with such high talent in the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique, but this supreme technique lacks the method for perfection!"
"What a pity indeed!"
"If there were a method for perfection, even if my talent is insufficient to achieve perfection, with this kid's current performance..."
"Without the need for secret medicine, he can sense the essence of the Sun's Radiance, cultivate the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique to the introductory level, and it has only taken him two months at most."
"In the future, he may very well cultivate the method for perfection in the Inner Alchemy Cultivation Technique, achieving the state of a body like a furnace, refining the Golden Core, as the records say."
Shen Congyun sighed inwardly, and at this moment, he had made his decision.
His investment spot would go to Jiang Ning.
He believed that Jiang Ning's future performance could bring him sufficient returns and benefits.
However, before that, he had to return and investigate clearly—how long had Jiang Ning been practicing martial arts, and what was the extent of his martial talent?
This is how he could decide how much to bet on Jiang Ning!
Afterward, Shen Congyun held a thought of whether there were more discoveries to be made, and carefully scanned the entire venue.
A moment later.
Wang Jin saw Shen Congyun's gaze retract, and so he spoke.
"Brother Shen, how about my disciples?"
Shen Congyun slightly nodded: "Not bad!!"
Seeing Shen Congyun's indifferent expression, Wang Jin's heart sank in disappointment.
How could he not understand that Shen Congyun's "not bad" also represented his lack of regard for the talent?
"Oh well!" Wang Jin sighed. "I've already tried my best to seize the opportunity. Success or failure, it's up to fate! Those Celestial Geniuses favored by Wanhua Tower, how could they be so easily found?"
On the other side.
Mingyue Tower.
In the third-floor pavilion.
Xu Yunfeng stood before a square-faced, eight-stroke-eyebrowed middle-aged man with a stern expression.
He slightly bent over, lowering his head in a show of obedience to the thirty-something middle-aged man before him.
Dong—
Dong—
Dong—
The middle-aged man with a square face gently tapped the Eight Immortals table with his index finger, creating a heart-stirring sound in the quiet room.

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere, Xu Yunfeng's body bent slightly, and his expression was filled with tension.
"Still no progress?" The middle-aged man with a square face asked in a low voice.
"Cao Tou, not yet!" Xu Yunfeng bowed and replied.
Xu Yunfeng, at this moment, lifted the teacup in front of him, and as the lid slid over the edge, a faint rustling sound was emitted, causing the full cup of hot tea to overflow.
He gently blew on the steaming tea, and the two floating tea leaves were blown away, revealing the clear tea beneath.
At this moment, the entire pavilion was eerily quiet, and only the sound of this middle-aged man's breathing could be heard.
Xu Yunfeng became even more tense.
"Speak, let's hear it. I'll give you a chance to explain!" Cao Tou spoke, breaking the silence in the pavilion. Then, he gently sipped the hot tea.
Xu Yunfeng immediately said, "Cao Tou, Jiang Li's biggest weakness is his younger brother, Jiang Ning. I originally planned to start with Jiang Ning, cutting off his fingers to force Jiang Li to surrender. But after that day, he sent Jiang Ning to Canglang Martial Academy to learn martial arts!"
"Canglang Martial Academy?" Cao Tou put down the teacup he had lifted.
Clang—
The teacup collided with the Eight Immortals table, emitting a crisp sound.
"But Wang Jin's Canglang Martial Academy?" Cao Tou asked again.
"Yes!" Xu Yunfeng lowered his head. "It's indeed Wang Jin's Canglang Martial Academy! Since Jiang Ning became Wang Jin's disciple, he's only returned home once. From that day on, he's never taken a step outside of Canglang Martial Academy! He must have obtained Wang Jin's permission to reside in the academy long-term."
"Wang Jin!!" Cao Bin lightly tapped his finger on the Eight Immortals table.
Dong—
Dong—
Dong—
Instantly, a series of sounds echoed from the table's surface.
The entire pavilion fell silent.
After a moment.
Cao Bin spoke, "Wang Jin is not to be provoked directly!"
"Then should we move against Jiang Li's family?" Xu Yunfeng asked cautiously.
Cao Bin shook his head slightly. "We can't give up. My big brother wants to pressure the County Lord to take a stand. Jiang Li is a good person. Since my big brother entrusted this matter to me, I must do it well!"
"Then how should I proceed?" Xu Yunfeng asked.
Dong-dong-dong—
Cao Bin lightly tapped his middle finger on the table, as if in deep thought.
