The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

After traversing half of Tianxing Sect, the group finally arrived before a building.

It was a three-story wooden structure that looked rather dilapidated from the outside. As golden sunlight bathed the entire building, it exuded an aura of age.

Yun Jin looked up.

At the top of the building, the characters for “Archive” gleamed brightly.

This Archive housed all of Tianxing Sect’s texts, forming the foundation of the entire sect. It was of utmost importance!

In stark contrast to its significance was the Archive’s guardian.

He was an elderly man with a full head of white hair, looking ancient and frail.

This old man had casually pulled up a chair and was reclining there with his eyes closed, appearing completely unthreatening.

However.

While he rested with closed eyes, none of the Peak Masters dared to move.

Fearing Yun Jin might act rashly at this moment, Lin Ya even gave her a warning glance.

Yun Jin: “…”

What did that mean?

She wasn’t the type to act crazy all the time!

Master’s look was really hurtful.

“Elder Ming is resting. Let’s wait here,” Zhao Wuji said.

No one dared speak, obediently waiting.

The scorching sun beat down. These new disciples, still not much different from mortals, were drenched in sweat after standing for an hour or two.

Ye Danxia was struggling to stand. She couldn’t help glancing at Yun Jin, hoping she would speak up.

Yun Jin’s expression remained unchanged.

Joking aside.

As a mighty Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could she fear standing a while longer?

Besides, this Elder Ming guarding the Archive was no ordinary figure. She liked causing trouble, not courting death. Why provoke him for no reason? She’d heard Elder Ming favored steady disciples.

Today, Yun Jin would be the steadiest! No one could compete with her!

After all, she was still counting on those Archive texts!

Seeing Yun Jin showed no signs of acting up, Ye Danxia endured a bit longer. Though she’d taken healing pills earlier, recovery wasn’t instantaneous. Her whole body ached unbearably.

Thinking her master doted on her so much, she figured asking wouldn’t hurt.

She approached Zhao Wuji and whispered, “Master… how much longer will Elder Ming sleep? If he doesn’t wake, will we just keep waiting?”

Zhao Wuji glanced at Ye Danxia, frowning slightly. “It hasn’t been that long. You’re already impatient?”

His eyes held a hint of disappointment.

Ye Danxia’s heart trembled.

She’d just asked casually, not insisting on waking Elder Ming. Why did Master look so displeased?

“Keep waiting!” Zhao Wuji rebuked.

Ye Danxia felt wronged but dared not speak further. She could only obediently retreat.

Just then, Elder Ming stretched lazily and slowly opened his eyes.

Though he looked ancient, his eyes were startlingly bright when they opened.

It was now past noon. Three full hours had passed since they arrived to stand in punishment.

Many disciples’ legs were shaking uncontrollably, only willpower keeping them upright.

Seeing Elder Ming finally awake, everyone felt immense relief.

“Elder Ming.” Zhao Wuji bowed respectfully. “These are the new disciples. Among them, my disciple Ye Danxia is a rare Celestial Spirit Root seen only once a century. The others, though of average talent, are still diligent.”

Zhao Wuji had singled out Ye Danxia. Though she didn’t know Elder Ming’s identity, she knew he must be of high status. Otherwise, how could her master, the Sect Leader, willingly bow to him?

Ye Danxia hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, “Disciple Ye Danxia greets Elder.”

Elder Ming merely glanced at her indifferently. His gaze landed on Yun Jin with interest. “This girl is quite interesting. Only a Five Element Root, yet already at Foundation Establishment. Did you have cultivation when you joined the sect?”

Elder Ming had actively asked about Yun Jin.

Zhao Wuji’s expression changed slightly.

Lin Ya looked delighted, frantically signaling to Yun Jin with his eyes.

Yun Jin wasn’t stupid. She stepped forward and said respectfully, “This disciple had no cultivation upon joining. It’s just that the sect’s Xuan Formula seems particularly compatible with my Five Element Root. When cultivating, I felt like I was advancing a thousand miles daily, progressing extremely quickly.”

Elder Ming’s interest was instantly piqued. “Oh? Xuan Formula? If I recall correctly, this non-attribute formula is usually given to new disciples for its simple cultivation. But its biggest flaw is that it absorbs the five types of spiritual energy evenly, making it quite inefficient.”

“But disciple happens to be a Five Element Root. The Xuan Formula’s balanced absorption suits me well,” Yun Jin answered respectfully.

Elder Ming grew more intrigued. “Even if it suits you, it’s still only low-grade Yellow tier. It shouldn’t allow such rapid cultivation.”

“Perhaps this Xuan Formula was fated to be compatible with disciple,” Yun Jin said casually. “For instance, when I broke through to Foundation Establishment, I inexplicably felt that I had derived the Xuan Formula to the Foundation Establishment level.”

The Xuan Formula… derived to Foundation Establishment level?

Lin Ya was completely shocked. How did he not know about this?

Zhao Wuji’s face instantly darkened. Seeing Elder Ming’s stunned expression, he couldn’t help but rebuke, “Deriving techniques? How could a new disciple like you do such a thing? Yun Jin, stop talking nonsense!”

Yun Jin remained calm, maintaining a mature and steady demeanor. “This disciple doesn’t know if that inexplicable feeling was accurate. So, I wonder if Elder Ming could examine this new Xuan Formula for me? To see if there are any issues.”

Elder Ming’s eyes flickered. He said, “Come forward!”

Under the varied gazes of everyone present, Yun Jin walked towards Elder Ming with mature, steady steps.

Elder Ming’s eyes flashed with approval!

Regardless of whether the technique was reliable, just seeing her steady demeanor made him like her. It reminded him of Lin Ya’s eldest disciple, Yue Zhao.

That child Yue Zhao was also this likable.

Elder Ming waved his hand, setting up a silencing barrier, then looked kindly at Yun Jin.

“Child, do you know Yue Zhao?”

Yun Jin respectfully said, “He is my Eldest Senior Brother.”

Elder Ming’s eyes lit up. “So you’re fellow disciples. No wonder you’re both so mature. Remember, maintain this humble and steady character. It will take you far in the cultivation world. Don’t be like some people who show off at the slightest achievement.”

“Disciple will heed your teaching and never engage in such boastful behavior,” Yun Jin continued respectfully.

Elder Ming was satisfied.

This was exactly the kind of disciple Tianxing Sect needed!

“Come, tell me about the Xuan Formula you’ve derived,” Elder Ming said.

He didn’t believe Yun Jin had truly derived the Xuan Formula to Foundation Establishment level. Perhaps she just had a bit of inspiration.

But no matter.

He quite liked this steady child. At worst, he could help her refine it.
