Bang!
Chu Chuan was hit again. His head was covered in wounds, and he lay motionless on the ground.
“Junior Brother Chu?” Xiao Li shook Chu Chuan gently.
When he didn’t respond, Xiao Li looked at Cheng Chou. He seemed to be asking for his help.
They had been too heavy-handed this time.
However, Chu Chuan insisted that he was fine and encouraged them to go all out.
“It seems like it’s over. The peaches are finally ripe. Let’s go pick some peaches,” the beast said as it hopped onto Xiao Li’s shoulder.
Xiao Li was excited.
Cheng Chou felt helpless. He went to the outer sect and went about his work.
He had gotten used to this kind of thing.
It had been like this for the past few years. Chu Chuan’s progress had amazed him.
His talent was no less than that of a gifted disciple.
Chu Chuan struggled to open his eyes. Next time, he definitely wouldn’t boast in front of Xiao Li again.
Xiao Li had no sense of restraint, whereas the beast knew how to hold back and when to go easy.
Xiao Li was like a child and did whatever she pleased.
It would be even better if it were Senior Brother Cheng. He would show him some new moves.
Unfortunately, these three people came to test his progress. There was no rule of who went first. The one who felt like it did it.
“You’re awake.”
It was a male voice.
Chu Chuan jumped up. He was on his guard. He frowned when he saw the person next to him.
The man seemed somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he had seen him before.
“Just a few years, and you’ve already forgotten me?” Fang Jin smiled at Chu Chuan.
He had been walking around when he found Chu Chuan knocked out on the ground.
Fang Jin didn’t know what had happened, but he waited for him to wake up.
‘ Senior Fang?” Chu Chuan could hardly believe it.
Fang Jin nodded.
“How’s Chu Jie? Is she well?” Chu Chuan asked.
“She’s well. Even better than you might think,” said Fang Jin. He looked at Chu Chuan’s injuries. “How are you?”
“I’m fine. Every day here is very fulfilling, ” Chu Chuan said eagerly.
Fang Jin was puzzled. Chu Chuan looked like he was beaten badly, but he still looked happy.
“Do you know which sect this is?”
Chu Chuan nodded. “It’s a demonic sect. Heavenly Note Sect.”
“So, you know. How did you end up here? And where’s Senior Jiang?” Fang Jin asked.
“I don’t know…” Chu Chuan shook his head. “When I was taken away, I fainted. When I woke up, I was here, and then someone guided me into the sect.” Fang Jin nodded.
He could sense that Jiang Hao Tian didn’t want to get involved in this matter.
However, it was clear that everything they had left for Chu Chuan had been given to him.
The only thing that surprised him was Chu Chuan’s cultivation realm. He was almost at the seventh stage of the Lifeblood Refinement Realm.
‘How can this be?’
This talent was quite high. It wasn’t the same as what they had expected before.
“Have you had any fortuitous encounters?” Fang Jin asked. “Fortuitous encounters? Not at all.” Chu Chuan shook his head.
“Then what about your cultivation realm?”
“It’s been increasing normally, but I have to endure a beating every week.” Chu
Chuan chuckled. “The more I fight, the stronger I become.”
In an instant, Fang Jin understood. ‘Special physique?’
Although Chu Chuan’s talent was average, his physique was unique.
Back then, Jiang Hao Tian had asked him why he couldn’t take Chu Chuan along. After that, he had placed him in a demonic sect.
‘Had he known?’
Fang Jin didn’t think much about it.
After all, there was no right answer, unless he found Jiang Hao Tian and asked him properly.
“I came to find you for two reasons. First, Junior Sister Chu Jie is worried about you and wants to know about your situation,” Fang Jin said.
“I’m doing well. Tell her not to worry.” Chu Chuan patted his chest confidently.
Fang Jin nodded. “Secondly, I want to ask you something.”
“What is it?” Chu Chuan asked.
“I want to invite you to join the Bright Moon Sect,” Fang Jin said. “Do you want to join us?”
Chu Chuan realized that everything Senior Brother Jiang had said was true.
“You don’t have to worry about leaving this sect. We’ll figure out a way to take you with us without any serious consequences,” said Fang Jin. “If you have any ideas, you can share them, of course.”
“Are you inviting me because of Chu Jie?” Chu Chuan asked. Fang Jin fell silent for a moment. “It does have something to do with that.” “Is the Bright Moon Sect very powerful?” Chu Chuan asked.
“Yes, very powerful. What you can learn there is ten times more than what you’ll learn here,” Fang Jin said.
He was being quite modest. The Heavenly Note Sect couldn’t compare to the Bright Moon Sect at all.
“I… refuse,” Chu Chuan said.
Fang Jin was surprised. “Won’t you think about it a bit more?”
“No… I don’t want to live in Chu Jie’s shadow,” said Chu Chuan. “If I do that, then she won’t even be comfortable to reach her full potential. It will affect her cultivation. Another reason is that I want to pave my own path too. Lord Beast says that going up a mountain is always very difficult because the path is steep and rugged, but coming down is easier. The more exceptional Chu Jie becomes, the more comfortable I’ll feel in the Bright Moon Sect. That will affect my own path to cultivation.”
“Uncle Beast?” Fang Jin was astonished.
“There are three people who constantly test my progress. Uncle Beast is one of them. It beats me up, but it’s for my own good,” said Chu Chuan.
Fang Jin was speechless. However, Chu Chuan’s words made sense to him.
This Chu Chuan was no longer the frail-looking boy of the past. The Heavenly Note Sect had made him learn and grow.
“By the way, Senior, when you return, can you not mention my cultivation realm to Chu Jie?” asked Chu Chuan. “I want to enter the Foundation Establishment Realm before your sect’s Dao Conference begins. Then, I’ll go find Chu Jie. It’ll be a surprise.”
Fang Jin nodded and smiled. “Sure.”
For a moment, he was looking forward to Chu Chuan’s visit to the Bright Moon Sect.
Fang Jin thought of Senior Uncle Xiao. Back then, he hadn’t thought much of Chu Chuan. If Chu Chuan advanced fast into the Foundation establishment Realm and visited the sect, he would surely be astonished.
At White Moon Lake, Baizhi looked at the black-robed woman. “Are all the disciples ready?”
“Yes.” The black-robed woman nodded.
Since the Bright Moon Sect proposed a sparring match, they obviously couldn’t refuse.
But Xu Bai personally involving himself with this left everyone puzzled. What exactly did he intend to do?
They had to be cautious.
There was another matter that made Baizhi restless.
A few days ago, she met Mi Lingyue.
She learned something that very few people knew in this world.
She said that many in the cultivation world might know about the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower, and they might have a rough idea of what the flower was like.
However, many people didn’t know that these records were from countless years ago.
Furthermore, these records didn’t include the growth process, and the descriptions of the fragrance were extremely vague.
In short, if the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower appeared somewhere, and it grew naturally, there was no problem. However, if artificial means were used to grow the flower, then the person doing it was noteworthy.
It seemed that no one knew how to grow the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower in this world. No one at all.
Those words left Baizhi shocked. She found it hard to calm herself.
She finally understood why the Sect Master kept a close eye on Jiang Hao and even tried to nurture his talents.
She also understood why the Blackheaven Sect had been hellbent on taking Jiang Hao away. The Sect Master had killed the envoy from there too.
At that time, she only thought that Jiang Hao was one of the few people who could grow the Heavenly Fragrance Dao Flower. She hadn’t realized that he was irreplaceable.
When she first heard the news, she couldn’t stop her hands from trembling. She had done something terribly wrong without realizing it.
It was precisely because she had made a mistake that the Sect Master needed to intervene..
