Such nonsense? Chi Jiuyu considered herself unmatched under heaven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go! First, I’ll take you to your quarters—you probably haven’t been there yet. No new disciple has ever been like you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t you arrange my schedule yesterday? Zhang Yunlu paused, then said nothing, only nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two left the Scripture Transmission Tower. The old woman leaning back in her recliner, pretending to nap, opened her eyes and watched their backs until they vanished completely, then closed her eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at the mountain’s base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two boarded a flying shuttle, just as they had yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in the spacious, comfortable rear seat, through the one-way glass windows, they watched the scenery slowly recede, occasional cultivation lights flashing past beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here, take this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Jiuyu handed her a black metal plaque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yunlu took it; the surface felt cold, yet the weight was extremely light, bearing no patterns—only a single powerful character carved into it: “Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the token of our ‘Future Sect Master Alliance’ team. The application passed yesterday,” Chi Jiuyu explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This character means… Sect Master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly. Isn’t that our goal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d originally wanted to carve “Sect” on it—that would’ve looked just like a Sect Master’s token—but the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall staff flat-out refused to allow that character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no choice but to settle for second best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yunlu held the black token, recalling the scene from yesterday when the Sect Master had guided her through the paperwork.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt a pang of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, wasn’t it a bit too arrogant for a newly arrived Qi Refining disciple like her to do this? Soon, the shuttle arrived at its destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the clouds, towering residential buildings emerged faintly through the hazy mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they drew closer, the buildings’ outlines sharpened; their pale yellow walls reflected soft sunlight, while scattered green belts between them resembled emerald accents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingfeng Complex 47, capable of housing thousands of residents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was essentially the students’ dormitory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All residents here were female Yu Jianzong disciples at the Qi Refining stage, and Zhang Yunlu had been assigned here too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qingfeng Complex 47—I lived here during my Qi Refining days,” Chi Jiuyu said with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, too, had followed the rules back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yunlu gazed down at the residential towers, recalling a book she’d read in her school library.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The book had mentioned this exact topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ancient times, Yu Jianzong had already been the best among all sects in treating ordinary disciples—but Qi Refining disciples still lived in communal dorms of six to ten people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only upon Foundation Establishment did they receive their own private courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, with rapid societal advancement, every sect had continuously improved its disciples’ living conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Yu Jianzong’s old communal dorms had been replaced by these modern residential towers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How wonderful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she pondered, the shuttle landed atop one of the residential towers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stepped out, entered through the open rooftop door, then took the elevator to the eighteenth floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only two disciples per floor—two apartments per elevator. For a “dormitory,” this was quite excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“1801—this is definitely it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming, Chi Jiuyu had Zhang Yunlu swipe her identity jade plaque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beep!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lock glowed faintly, and the door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, a warm, comfortable living room greeted them: beige sofa and carpet paired with a natural wood coffee table—simple and elegant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Floor-to-ceiling windows flooded the space with ample sunlight, making it bright and airy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One kitchen, one living room, one bathroom, two bedrooms, plus a study and a meditation chamber—all daily necessities provided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember to imprint your spiritual energy signature—then the lock will require dual authentication to open,” Chi Jiuyu stepped inside. “But since it’s you, Little Yunlu, you don’t even need to. You’ll be moving out soon anyway.” Zhang Yunlu glanced around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she’d read about this in books, the living conditions of Yu Jianzong disciples still surprised her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, her living conditions here were even better than at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Jiuyu walked to the sofa and slumped onto it: “You watched that much last night—you’re confident about Foundation Establishment, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Rest well. After you establish your Foundation, write up a cultivation insight—sell it to the Scripture Transmission Tower and earn plenty of contribution points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Show off while earning contribution points? Rare opportunities like this don’t come often! Contribution points…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the Foundation Establishment training chamber and the Star Simulation Arena both cost contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a new disciple, the sect had granted her two hundred contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But two hundred… might not be enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides writing a Foundation Establishment insight, what other ways are there to earn contribution points?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re short on contribution points? I’ll lend you some!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yunlu shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understood—she wanted to earn them herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chi Jiuyu nodded. Exactly the spirit she’d shown in her own days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though raised by her Master, she’d never asked for anything except a starship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm… got it!” Chi Jiuyu snapped her fingers. “Go climb the rankings—you’re still Qi Refining, perfect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Climb the rankings?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The virtual combat ranking system—those outdated things. Same-level battles, fighting for rank. Top hundred get plenty of contribution points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many teams boosted their reputation by climbing the combat rankings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After learning this method, Chi Jiuyu had topped every ranking: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still holds the top spot on the Nascent Soul combat ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But so what? Her “Future Sect Master Alliance” still has only her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…………\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the Sword Master Hall, in the bamboo grove, Xu Xing leaned back in a recliner, holding a fishing rod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spiritual fish in the pond darted swiftly, chasing the bait on the hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the hook moved unpredictably through the water—no matter how hard the fish tried, they could never catch it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you fishing… or just playing with them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bie Xuening sat quietly beside him, watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes her younger brother did the strangest things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When will you go to Lingyin Fang?” she asked softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soon. Better to go and return quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she’s meeting the Ling Ancestor. Out of respect, it’s better to go in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Ling Ancestor was the only one who never intervened when I acted back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You might go soon—but you won’t return quickly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? What do you mean, Sister? Can the Ling Ancestor keep me against my will?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing didn’t understand—he was just going to ask a few questions and meet someone. Why couldn’t he return quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bie Xuening’s gaze flickered slightly, but she didn’t answer. Instead, she said: “Wait a while. Then let Jiuyu go with you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Take Jiuyu along? Why? To steal my lines? Xu Xing lifted his rod—caught a spiritual fish, hanging straight and motionless from the hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed satisfied just by swallowing that bait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He unhooked it and tossed it back into the pond, then casually scattered a handful of fish food into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the fish scramble for the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine. I’ll follow your advice, Sister.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had plenty of time now, so Xu Xing wasn’t in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First chapter update—please subscribe\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1235,"2026-06-20T06:44:12.591Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","f4f0f9ce62a427ac8e8ea549eef665c42e9bbe1caf089937ebd28a91d2fbc9b1","ancestor-the-times-have-changed-chapter-106","ancestor-the-times-have-changed-chapter-104",648,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancestor-the-times-have-changed-cover.jpg"]
