Chapter 906: What Fortuitous Encounters Did the Three of Them Have
Look at these wealthy families in the Capital with deep foundations. Although there are quite a few experts at the Sword Master Realm, Sword Saints are very rare, which just shows the difficulty of advancing as a Sword Master.Originally, I thought that even if Mu Hanyan had enough elixirs to support him, it would take three to five months to possibly advance to the second level of Sword Master. Who would have thought, in just a few days... More precisely, in just one night, he actually skipped the second level of Sword Master and directly reached the third tier!
Jiang Yuzhe and the others were just feeling proud a moment ago, but now they didn’t feel that way at all.
Indeed, compared to others they are worthless; when compared to people, they want to die. What’s called a genius, this is a genius. In front of Mu Hanyan, they didn’t have a shred of pride left.
"Don’t undervalue yourselves; I believe that with your talent, it won’t be long before you catch up with me." Seeing the dejected look on their faces, Mu Hanyan comforted them.
"Young Master, you don’t need to comfort us. Do we not know our own worth? To others, our talent might still be considered good, but compared to you, we know our limitations. We’re afraid there’s no hope in this lifetime." Jiang Yuzhe said self-deprecatingly.
"Yes, compared to the Young Master, isn’t that just asking for trouble? I don’t dare to expect much, as long as I can reach the Sword Saint Realm before the age of sixty, I’ll be content with this life." Huayue said with a face full of longing.
"It’s only because I’m fortunate enough to follow the Young Master, otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have a chance in this lifetime to enter the ranks of Sword Saints." Zirong exclaimed.
Speaking of cultivation, and seeing the gap with Mu Hanyan, the group felt a myriad of emotions.
However, what they said unintentionally, Mu Hanyan took to heart, and it stirred something inside him.
Judging by the usual progress of cultivators, with Huayue and Zirong’s natural talent, reaching the Sword Saint Realm before sixty would be commendable, so they were not really undervaluing themselves.
But in Mu Hanyan’s memories, Huayue and the others from the past lifetime actually advanced to Sword Saint around the age of thirty. You should know that in the previous life, they did not follow me and did not rely on strong families like the Eight Great Families. Their cultivation resources should have been less than what they have now, so what encounter did they have that allowed them to advance to Sword Saint at the age of thirty?
Unfortunately, in the previous life, she didn’t have much interaction with Huayue and the others, and didn’t know what encounters they had in the following years. Mu Hanyan suddenly felt a bit worried, because of her rebirth, their life trajectories also changed. Could they be missing those encounters?
The original intention of bringing Huayue and the others to her side was to have more powerful helpers and to ensure that they would take fewer detours and not repeat the mistakes of the past life—after all, the infamous Anyun Three Stars didn’t end well.
However, if her good intentions actually ruined their future achievements, Mu Hanyan would not be willing.
What should be done? If she sends them back now, would their life paths return to the way they were? Mu Hanyan suddenly felt conflicted.
"Young Master, what are you thinking?" Seeing Mu Hanyan silent and lost in thought, Huayue asked curiously.
"I was thinking about whether keeping you by my side will affect your future cultivation." Mu Hanyan said with a bitter smile.
"Why would the Young Master think that? If not for you, how would we get this much top-quality elixir, or be able to achieve Great Swordsman cultivation so quickly?" Zirong asked, not knowing what Mu Hanyan truly worried about.
"If not for you, Young Master, how could I have survived under that temple expert’s hand last time? If I lost my life, how could I talk about cultivation?" Huayue smiled faintly and said to Mu Hanyan.
"Without the Young Master’s help, I might never have comprehended the Shadowless Sword Technique, let alone understood the Shadow Shifting Barrier. Young Master, you’re overthinking it." Jiang Yuzhe said disapprovingly.
Upon hearing their words, Mu Hanyan’s heart suddenly became clear and open.
Yes, her rebirth, while changing Huayue and the others’ life trajectories, was not without benefits. At least in the previous life, they didn’t have this cultivation at this age.
Upon reconsidering, even if they missed that encounter, what difference would it make? Being with her, wouldn’t they have other opportunities? Besides, with their natural talent, even using elixirs to push them, couldn’t they be pushed to Sword Saint?
"Yeah, I was overthinking it. Alright, no more thinking, hurry up and eat, and then go get the allocation." Mu Hanyan said lightly, her mind suddenly clear.
She really had some expectations for the Zong Family’s allocation. Although she had just returned for a few days and hadn’t contributed much to the family, so she wouldn’t receive much allocation, it would still be better than the servants. But don’t forget, Mu Chengyang’s six-month allocation was still in her hands.
With the Third Elder’s dominance, and Mu Chengxuan’s secret help, Mu Chengyang definitely would have completed many family tasks, so the allocation would certainly be far greater than ordinary people’s. With Lady Mu’s character that even mosquito meat is not too little, she certainly wouldn’t underestimate this windfall.
What’s more, last night’s cultivation used up all the elixirs she bought, even though there were still tens of thousands of silver notes left on her, it was not easy to buy suitable elixirs quickly, so Mu Hanyan was counting on the cultivation resources distributed by the Zong Family indeed.
Just after breakfast was over, Mu Zexian and others also arrived. That day, after drinking the Old Drunkard’s "Immortal Spirit Drunk," a group of playboys were quite drunk, still looking dreamy-eyed with wobbly steps, but their spirits were quite bright.
Although they drank too quickly at the time, not having the chance to refine the medicinal power in the wine, and it was like wasting a treasure, the Heavenly Heart Technique was indeed extraordinary. Even compared to the inherited skills of the other major families, it was much stronger, so not all of the medicinal power was wasted, and their strength had somewhat improved.
Feeling the subtle changes in the Qi within them, Mu Zexian and others were overjoyed, even more grateful to Mu Hanyan. If it weren’t for Mu Hanyan, they wouldn’t have the chance to drink such good wine.
After respectfully saluting Mu Hanyan, the group of playboys headed to the martial arts field with high spirits.
Today’s allocation was personally distributed by the Supreme Elder, so it was especially grand. A high platform was set up on the martial arts field, with the Supreme Elder, Family Head daren, and other elders and tributors sitting in sequence on the stage, while the children from each house and branch gathered below, heads swarming black as the eye can see.
Everyone eagerly looked up at the stage, their expressions both excited and anticipatory, but they didn’t dare to utter a word lightly, fearing they might displease the Supreme Elder.
