Chapter 32: Observations at the Hall of Myriad Laws (Part 2)

A shattered lifebound magic treasure was a serious matter. So, Li Jiuchuan's inability to form his Core was due to this reason.


Looking up, Jiang Yuebai suddenly saw someone under a winter plum tree in the distance, with flowers falling like rain and drifting petals all around. A young man in green robes stood tall and elegant, as beautiful as a painting.


Her heart skipped a beat, not because of the present beauty, but because she didn't know how long Li Jiuchuan had been standing there and whether he had heard the conversation between the two just now.


Li Jiuchuan brushed off the petals on his shoulder and walked over, a faint smile curling his lips, exuding a gentle and refreshing aura.


"Shan Jun sent me a message, so I came out to look for you. You're quite fast. Come with me."


Jiang Yuebai took a deep breath, put on a big smile, and followed him. "Is Shan Jun the title of the Tiger Lord at the valley entrance?"


Li Jiuchuan responded, "No, Shan Jun is an honorific for tiger demons. It's called the Qionglin Mountain Lord."


"It sounds strange. When I reach the Foundation Establishment stage in the future, I'll also choose a nice and prestigious title. What's your title, Senior Li?"


"Me? I haven't specifically chosen a title yet. They call me Revered Jiuchuan."


After a few twists and turns, Li Jiuchuan brought Jiang Yuebai to the deepest part of the area, a secluded courtyard backed against a cliff.


The courtyard was serene, with winter plum blossoms in full bloom. Bamboo curtains were half drawn, and the incense in the incense burner by the ancient qin wafted into the air, creating an ambiance of literary elegance amidst the scattered scrolls and books.


Li Jiuchuan waved his hand, and a gentle breeze swept through, causing the scrolls and books to float in the air before returning to the bookshelves in the room.


Jiang Yuebai's gaze followed, and she saw that the whole room was filled with books.


Li Jiuchuan led Jiang Yuebai to sit in the corridor and personally poured her a cup of hot tea.


Aside from during classes, Li Jiuchuan didn't act high and mighty towards sect disciples, nor did he judge them based on their aptitudes or backgrounds. He was very friendly and amiable.


Jiang Yuebai had excelled in his classes, which made him particularly fond of her.


Therefore, Jiang Yuebai treated him with respect and no fear, allowing them to get along without the need to be overly cautious.


"Seeing your progress, I assume the Five Elements Revolving Bridge has been completed?" Li Jiuchuan asked with a smile, placing the cup of tea in front of Jiang Yuebai.


Jiang Yuebai nodded, and Li Jiuchuan's face lit up with joy.


"May I inquire if I can probe a bit?"


Jiang Yuebai hesitated, struggling a bit.


"I'm just curious about what the Five Elements Revolving Bridge looks like for a Qi Refining cultivator. I've been teaching in the Hall of Teaching for many years and have guided quite a few Five Elemental Root disciples. Including myself, only three have successfully built the bridge, and all of them were in the Foundation Establishment stage or later."


"Considering your situation, it might help other Five Elemental Root disciples in the Qi Refining stage build their bridges. So, I'd like to explore it a bit. The dantian is the most secretive place for cultivators, and if you're unwilling, that's perfectly fine."


Jiang Yuebai bit her lip. Without Li Jiuchuan's guidance, there was no way she could have successfully built the bridge so quickly. After thinking it over, she extended her hand.


Li Jiuchuan smiled slightly, extending his hand from within his wide sleeve. His fingertips gently touched Jiang Yuebai's wrist, and a thread of divine consciousness flowed into her meridians.


Seeing the width of Jiang Yuebai's meridians, Li Jiuchuan's expression slightly froze, and as he delved deeper, he observed the condition of her dantian. His pupils trembled.


The five elemental energies revolved slowly, each element was balanced in size, and they were interconnected quite firmly.


It had truly succeeded, and it seemed even better than when he had built his own back then. With such potential and comprehension, she would undoubtedly shine brightly in the future.


Li Jiuchuan retracted his hand. "If it weren't for the fact that Golden Core cultivators aren't allowed to take disciples from within the sect, I would have certainly taken you as my disciple. However, I do have the authority to rearrange the positions of the miscellaneous disciples. Would you be willing to come here? To study the way of the Five Elements with me?"


"Ah?"


Jiang Yuebai stared blankly, her mouth agape. How had she become so popular, with people left and right wanting to take her in?
