Disciples Help Me Become Immortal

Chapter 32: The Ant's Struggle

"Since there's nothing else to do today, I came to see Father." Murong Xue said, "Father, are you comfortable staying here?"

"Comfortable, comfortable, of course I am." Murong Hai said with a smile, "Compared to the places in Fengtian City, staying here for a while makes me feel like I've loosened up from my long-term stagnation."

"That's good. I happen to have a few Star-Penetrating Pills here."

Murong Xue waved her hand, and a crystal-clear jade bottle appeared on the table, saying, "These Star-Penetrating Pills can increase your chances of breaking through to the Star Profound Realm."

"This..."

Murong Hai's eyes lit up as he picked up the jade bottle and opened it to see seven Star-Penetrating Pills inside, accompanied by a rich fragrance that filled the entire room.

"These Star-Penetrating Pills are indeed rare treasures." Murong Hai sighed, "I couldn't even get one in Fengtian City before, and now there are seven all at once."

"Just Star-Penetrating Pills, Father, feel free to use them. If you need more, I have them."

Murong Xue said proudly, "With my current status and position in Tianyun Sect, acquiring such pills is just a matter of a few words."

"You're amazing, my daughter." Murong Hai said with satisfaction, then asked, "By the way, daughter, why can't I see through your cultivation level? What realm are you in now?"

"Mid-Chen Profound Realm." Murong Xue raised her lips.

"Mid-Chen Profound Realm?" Murong Hai took a sharp breath, excitedly said, "You're almost catching up to me. It took me several decades to reach the late Chen Profound Realm, and you're only in your teens now. Truly worthy of your golden talent."

"For me, advancing in realm is just a matter of time." Murong Xue raised her red lips, "And the reason you can't see through my cultivation is because my cultivation speed is too fast. In just one year, I broke through from the innate realm to my current level."

"If this kind of cultivation speed were to be known, it would inevitably attract envy. So the elders of the sect taught me a method of concealing my aura."

"That's good." Murong Hai smiled, "Every sect has enemies and competitors. If others were to know about your cultivation speed, it would be detrimental to you. So the sect's actions are for your own good."

Murong Xue nodded proudly.

Just then, Murong Hai suddenly remembered something and picked up the letter in his hand, saying, "Lin Feng from the Lin Family sent a letter, saying that he wants to fulfill the three-year agreement ahead of time and come up the mountain to challenge you in a month."

"Lin Feng?"

"The Lin Feng from the Lin Family in Fengtian City?" Murong Xue asked.

If it weren't for Murong Hai mentioning it, she hadn't thought about this person for a long time.

"Wasn't he clamoring for three years before? There are still two and a half years left. Why does he want to challenge now?"

"I don't know either. This is the challenge letter he sent. Why don't you take a look?"

Murong Hai handed over the letter in his hand.

However, Murong Xue didn't even reach out to take it, nor did she glance at it.

"I really don't know where he got the courage to challenge me."

Murong Xue couldn't help but sneer.

"I heard some news from Fengtian City. It's said that Lin Feng had a stroke of luck and found a mentor. It seems that his mentor's strength is not weak, and he even helped Fengtian City exterminate a Moon Profound Realm monster. It's likely that his strength has reached the late Moon Profound Realm."

Murong Hai couldn't help but say, "So Lin Feng probably received help from this person and was able to cultivate."

After listening, Murong Xue's expression was indifferent, "Just a Moon Profound Realm mentor..."

"A figure of this level, Tianyun Sect can easily produce a dozen or so. And which of the elders who taught me weren't at least at the Moon Profound Realm?"

"True, just a Moon Profound Realm." Murong Hai also nodded with deep understanding, with a hint of pride on his face.

In the past, the Moon Profound Realm was indeed an unattainable existence.

But now... leaving aside other factors, the elders who treated him courteously every day were all at the Moon Profound Realm, which he could easily interact with.

"Perhaps, I know why he wants to challenge me at this time." At this moment, Murong Xue said playfully.

"What?" Murong Hai asked in confusion.

"Don't you say that he received help from that Moon Profound Realm? That's probably just to prove to me that he's not worthless."

"But even so, what's the point? Acquired? Innate? In my eyes, he's still worthless."

"This kind of proof is like child's play to me. Does he think I'll take another look at him just because of this?"

At this point, Murong Xue's face turned cold, and her eyes were full of murderous intent. "Fine, fine."

Seeing Murong Xue suddenly angry, Murong Hai was obviously frightened and dared not say anything more.

"I'm going back now. There's no need to say anything more. Just let him come and die in a month." Murong Xue said coldly, then turned and left.

At the same time...

Lin Feng's challenge letter also reached the hands of Tianyun Sect.

After all, it was a challenge initiated, so Tianyun Sect naturally had to be informed.

Tianyun Sect did not make any statement, considering it accepted, but obviously did not pay too much attention to it.

After all, a top-notch sect like Tianyun Sect had countless major and minor matters to deal with every day. Matters like this, with no suspense, naturally would not be of much concern to them.

Just the struggles of an ant.
