CHAPTER 649: 649 SECT LIFE

Luo Yinghui understood her father’s intention. He was cherishing talent.

The people Luo Yunhai sent were now together with Tan Shaoting. The news reported back was very normal.

"Father, was Tan Shaoting’s eldest son chosen by Master Wen Xian?"

"Yes, that child refused and decided to wait for Tan Shaoting to return to make a decision."

"What about the other two?"

"They also have people watching over them."

Qi Hong and Qi Wen were much more ordinary on their side.

The two asked a senior brother to help plant some Spirit Grass and also asked someone to water it. They would usually be taught maintenance.

"My Cloud Rain Technique is better than theirs, yet we still have to spend Spirit Stones to hire people."

"We need to reach Qi Refining Second Level as soon as possible. It will be better in the future.

Sister, Dad means for us to go back into the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm four years later, and our chances of returning are very high.

So during this period, we should be honest."

"I understand. No matter how good it is here, I have to find Mom."

"Yes, me too. It would be great if Mom could also come here."

"Second Brother, I haven’t dreamed of Mom for a long time."

"Me neither."

The brother and sister were quite sad at this moment; after all, they were still children. Although smarter than other kids, they were still children.

They were young and new here, so the steward would teach them some basic knowledge.

The two were very quick learners, and everyone likes smart and sensible children, especially when they are very beautiful.

So the steward even gave them a Jade Scroll, which is a Cultivation Technique for planting Spirit Grass.

Right now, they couldn’t learn it, as it mainly displayed cultivation at the First Layer of Qi Refining, and they had to wait until the Third Level of Qi Cultivation.

Every morning, the siblings would practice cultivation alone, and the Spiritual Energy here was certainly denser than outside.

On the fifth day, Qi Hong first entered Qi Cultivation Fifth Level.

Even a small advancement would be noticed, so Qi Hong adjusted his cultivation to Qi Refining Second Level the next day.

Qi Wen knew her brother had a Wood Spirit Root, which made him thrive here, but she was also about to reach Qi Refining Sixth Level.

The steward looked at Qi Hong with more satisfaction and would occasionally come by. He would patiently explain if the siblings didn’t understand something.

Another five days passed, and Qi Wen also entered Qi Refining Sixth Level. Her cultivation speed was faster than her two brothers’, mainly because of that Water Spirit Pearl.

They also received news that their eldest brother was also at Qi Refining Second Level.

All three children had Single Spirit Roots, and with the current environment being good, advancement was inevitable.

However, outsiders did not see it this way. Some radical people believed they must have gained some benefits. After all, they had entered the Trial Tower. Although they didn’t reach the tenth floor, obtaining good items or good techniques was possible because they hadn’t taken any cultivation techniques from the Scripture Pavilion.

The three children never went out, so even if people had ideas, there was nothing they could do.

Tan Shaoting had already reached the boundary. He was a very low-key person.

Moreover, he discovered that there were two people in the team whose purpose was to monitor him.

He had thought about such a situation long ago. He didn’t mind it. He acted just like any ordinary cultivator.

The team leader was a responsible person, and also one of those monitoring him. The ordinary people here were already suffering greatly.

Tan Shaoting witnessed the cruelty, which was unfavorable to them.

This mountain was the boundary, and the demon beasts were not on the side with Spiritual Energy but on the Mortal World side, which limited their Spiritual Power replenishment.

Fortunately, they were Sword Cultivators. Even relying solely on combat power was feasible.

There were ten cultivators here, all above Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer. After all, they were here risking their lives.

None of them were reluctant because whoever killed the demon beast would own it.

This was quite a large amount of Spirit Stones, so they were very earnest when killing demon beasts.

"Senior Brother Wang, there’s something strange about these demon beasts. Could there be a problem? It feels like they’re endless."

Wang Congshan nodded, "This is the border with the Demon Realm. However, two hundred years ago, the seniors from our Cultivation World joined forces to seal this Barrier.

You will continue fighting tomorrow. Tan and I will go in to see if there’s a problem at that seal.

Tan Shaoting nodded, having no objections; going to look inside was acceptable to him.

The others didn’t object either, as Tan Shaoting’s combat power was indeed high, making it more assured for him and Senior Brother Wang to go than for themselves.

The next day, the eight of them continued killing demon beasts while Tan Shaoting and Wang Congshan went into the deep mountains.

"Junior Brother Tan, here’s the map. Look at it; if there really is an issue later, you’ll know the way."

Tan Shaoting took it and memorized it. "Senior Brother Wang, can you contact the Sect from here?"

Wang Congshan nodded.

"If we really find a problem, we can contact the Sect, right?"

"Yes."

This provided some reassurance. Tan Shaoting, in his past life, experienced a Beast Tide and knew that if the Barrier was loosening, there wouldn’t be high-level demon beasts at first, so they wouldn’t just be easy prey going there.

Both of them moved quickly and extended their Divine Senses. Honestly, the closer they got to the Demon Realm’s border, the more demon beasts were hidden in the mountains.

They exchanged a glance, both feeling heavy-hearted, as there was a high possibility of a large-scale demon beast crossing through the Barrier.

But to report to the Sect, they needed accurate information. So they still had to go and inspect the Barrier.

They carefully avoided the demon beasts. Even if a Third-rank Demon Beast noticed them, it didn’t catch up.

A large group of demon beasts trailed them, leaving them uneasy.

No matter what, they would have to speed up. Being caught was no joke, as the number of demon beasts behind them was too large.

"Junior Brother Tan, if a battle breaks out later, let’s both leave independently and not worry about each other."

"Understood, Senior Brother Wang."

Tan Shaoting didn’t mind, as being apart from each other increased his safety factor. At worst, he could hide in the space.

He felt lucky to have a space where living creatures could enter, greatly reducing his danger.

Wang Congshan was puzzled. He was at Qi Cultivation Great Perfection, and Tan was at Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer, yet their speed was the same, showing no sign of Tan’s Spiritual Power being lacking.

A two-layer difference wasn’t just about quantity; it concerned Spiritual Power storage, proving Tan Shaoting’s cultivation was truly solid.

He was assigned by the Sect Leader to monitor Tan Shaoting, yet he noticed nothing unusual along the way; Tan was just a silent cultivator.

There was truly nothing to report. Besides, Tan was quite likable; he couldn’t bring himself to feel hostility or act against him.
