Chapter 350: The Old Man Is Willing to Be the Gentleman Who Helps Others Achieve Their Desires

The group fell silent for several seconds.

Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian: 【You've already broken through to Life Stage One? And you're about to break through to Life Stage Two already?】

Zu'an Intern: 【Yes, earlier seniors said breaking through to Life Stage One requires refining the body and pushing past limits—that's the first step, and also】

It's only been a few days, maybe just a week.

In a week, going from an ordinary person to nearly Life Stage Two—what kind of insane cultivation speed is this? Even with the resources we gave you, it shouldn't be this fast.

Know this: Life Stage One differs from the other Life Stages—it's the foundational phase, like building a tall tower from flat ground; to make the tower tall, the foundation must be solid.

Da Huang Tian Zun: 【Xiang Hong, are you certain you refined yourself and broke through to Life Stage One using the methods we provided? Don't you dare rush it and compromise your foundation—that'll have a huge impact on your future.】

Throughout history, many cultivators grew too impatient, rushing into Life Stage One, resulting in unstable foundations—making later cultivation increasingly difficult, either leading to demonic deviation or stagnation.

Although there are ways to remedy rushing into Life Stage One, the items required are exceedingly rare—even ancient factions might not possess them.

And using these divine artifacts to fix cultivators who rushed their breakthrough would be an outright waste of heaven's treasures.

Thus, very few ever do this—even ancient factions won't raise their family prodigies this way, unless their elders have gone mad.

Zu'an Intern: 【No, I followed every step the seniors described, methodically completing the refinement and limit-pushing tasks they outlined, and arrived here.】

Actually, when I broke through to Life Stage One three days ago, I was confused—the seniors said it was hard and would take many days, so I was nervous during the breakthrough, fearing I'd done something wrong.

I spent half a day recalling whether I'd followed the seniors' steps correctly.

Later, I confirmed I'd indeed followed their instructions, but fearing I'd broken through too fast, I rested another half day before resuming cultivation.】

As soon as Xiang Hong sent this message…

The senior members' minds went blank, reduced to one thought.

Ultimate genius? A prodigy unseen in ten thousand years?

Xiang Hong, following the steps methodically, broke through to nearly Life Stage Two in a week—this proves only one thing: his talent is terrifyingly supreme.

To verify this point.

Da Huang Tian Zun sent a message, instructing Xiang Hong on how to solidly break through to Life Stage Two and build a firm foundation.

Zu'an Intern: 【Understood, thank you, Da Huang Senior. I'll go try now.】

Da Huang Tian Zun: 【Remember, don't rush. With your talent and your proximity to Life Stage Two, you'll likely break through in no more than a day or two.】

Zu'an Intern: 【Got it, I'll go try now.】

Immediately after…

Xiang Hong went to break through to Life Stage Two.

The group chat didn't stop—it grew even livelier.

Immortal King with Chronic Rheumatism: 【Hah! It seems Xiang Hong's luck all went into his talent.】

Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian: 【With talent like this, not only do my three disciples pale in comparison, even I must admit I'm inferior. With proper guidance, he'll surely become an Immortal at minimum.】

Xi Tian Mo Yao: 【Now I understand why the group owner pulled Xiang Hong in—he must've been drawn by his talent.】

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【With talent like this, even in my realm it's rare—especially for someone with no background. He'll be snatched up by every major faction, and inevitably, factions that fail to recruit him will send assassins.】

Da Huang Tian Zun: 【My disciple, relying on her talent and my indulgence, has grown arrogant lately. With Xiang Hong's talent, I can use him to spur her on—make her cultivate seriously.】

Xi Tian Mo Yao: 【Master, isn't this exactly what Xiang Hong called 'elders talking about the neighbor's child'?】

Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian: 【When Xiang Hong grows stronger, I'll use him to teach my disciple too.】

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【This idea's great. My disciple—God knows why, maybe I spoiled him—has been challenging the Holy Sects' Holy Sons and prodigies lately, even more inflated than I am, and he's eyeing the Holy Maidens, saying he'll take them as wives if he wins.】

This brat needs a lesson—Xiang Hong's talent is perfect to deflate his arrogance.

Sigh, back in my day, I wasn't this inflated—I just stole Holy Maidens, never openly declared I'd marry them after winning.】

Immortal King with Chronic Rheumatism: 【Your disciple's arrogance? Not from your spoiling—it's from learning your reckless nature.】

Tian Xie Jian Xian: 【+1】

Xi Tian Mo Yao: 【+2】

Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian: 【+3】

Da Huang Tian Zun: 【+4】

Tian Xie Jian Xian: 【You're all talking about disciples—I, who never took one, don't even know how to join in.】

Xi Tian Mo Yao: 【Jian Xian, you should take a disciple—it's time to pass on your legacy.】

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【Need a disciple, Jian Xian? How about I adopt one out to you? I've got a disciple with excellent sword comprehension—just pay me 1000 Immortal Source Stones, and I'll hand him over right away.】

Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian: 【Da Sheng Jun, are you really okay selling your disciple like this?】

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【Hey, that's not selling—I'm saving him from being wasted! I've studied sword arts too, but not as deeply as Jian Xian. Staying with me would ruin his future.】

Da Huang Tian Zun: 【Then why charge 1000 Immortal Source Stones? Why not give him away for free?】

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【It's a win-win: my disciple finds a great master, and I get paid. Isn't that perfect?】

Xi Tian Mo Yao: 【I think one day, Da Sheng Jun's disciple will become his enemy.】

Instantly, all members sent 【Agree】.

Tian Xie Jian Xian: 【I don't take disciples because I have no time to teach—I only seek the sword and the Immortal Dao, no interest in disciples. Come to think of it, am I the only one in this group without a disciple?】

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【No, you're not alone—Gui Hong Mo Zu has no disciple either.】

Da Huang Tian Zun: 【Huh? How do you know Gui Hong Mo Zu has no disciple?】

Mi Tian Da Sheng Jun: 【Because I once tried to sell him my disciple—same one I offered to Jian Xian.】

Xi Tian Mo Yao: 【I feel Da Sheng Jun will die soon.】

Tian Xie Jian Xian: 【I'm suddenly looking forward to the next mission—I hope you'll all grant me a favor and pair me with Da Sheng Jun.】

Jiuzhou Di Yi Xian: 【Old man is willing to be the gentleman who helps others achieve their desires.】
