Chapter 672: Degree of Regard

At present, he hasn't displayed even one percent of his skill—more precisely, not even one percent of his Musician Path ability—so Feng Yanrong would act like this before his master; she had originally intended to learn from his master about the recent ambush of Zhu Xing outside Liangshui Town, but now she cares nothing about that and devotes all her attention to him.

He hopes to convince his master to approve his switching sects!

He wouldn't even dare imagine that if he displayed a full hundred percent of his skill—just a hundred percent in the Musician Path—what kind of outrageous actions Feng Yanrong would take, perhaps refusing to even consult his master and instead resorting to outright plunder, intimidation, or bribery.

He is eager to see how extreme Feng Yanrong's shift might be, but that notion vanishes quickly in his mind; when he displays his Musician Path skill before her, it is merely to quash her curiosity about the ambush outside Liangshui Town, not because he wishes to become her disciple, learn from her, or practice at Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect.

He has encountered Feng Yanrong and even engaged in fierce combat; he roughly knows her skill is not inferior to his master's, and she is very young—perhaps not even a quarter of his master's age—yet already wields impressive ability, which not only attests to her talent but also indirectly proves the might of her sect, Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect.

The path of cultivation is about resources, and renowned teachers count as one such resource; ordinary disciples who join a major sect can readily widen the gap with those from minor sects, let alone those of exceptional talent.

It can truly be called the strong perpetually remain strong!

Unfortunately.

He is a man with a system, and the system is extraordinarily overpowered; it lets him effortlessly acquire vast cultivation methods without a master's guidance, and merely by the Merit earned from slaying demons he can raise the proficiency of those methods and spells, achieving rapid breakthroughs, so whether or not he joins a major sect makes little difference to him.

Given that, he'd rather stay close to his family; after all, he was an orphan in his previous life, and this life he finally has relatives he cherishes more than anyone else, so there's no need to separate from them by entering a major sect for cultivation.

Without the system, he might be hesitant, for this world isn't as tranquil as his previous life; even though it's a prosperous era, from what he's learned of Zhu Xing's actions he knows that, regardless of the world, ordinary people must regularly burn incense and pray to deities for protection to live peacefully each day.

Otherwise.

Once one provokes an entity that should not be provoked—someone like the beast Zhu Xing—sometimes even a single glance that offends him could jeopardize one's life.

Counting on the authorities to intervene… is like dreaming; even if the government could protect civilians 100%, at best it could only safeguard them when they clash with the elite's offspring, so it's better to hope for divine protection.

That was something he could scarcely achieve in his previous life; from various news reports one can see that the so‑called law shows two faces before certain individuals or groups, and now, with a living example like Zhu Xing, hoping the authorities will protect his whole family is less reliable than counting on his own diligent cultivation.

Relying on his own ability to safeguard himself and even his entire family's lives.

Without the system, upon learning that a major sect has taken interest in him, he might waver between staying with his family and entering the sect for cultivation; however, he believes he won't hesitate long and will certainly agree to join, not for his own sake but to master skills that can protect his family.

However.

Without the system, even his master, Xuanqing Daozhang, might not accept him as a disciple, let alone a major sect's interest, so there would be no dilemma between family and entering a major sect.

Xuanqing Daozhang forced himself to endure a restless feeling deep inside; he knows Feng Yanrong holds Wang Ping'an in high regard—after Wang Ping'an, that brat, seized her Jade Flute and performed Sad Music, displaying remarkable Musician Path talent, and after seeing her fiery gaze upon him—yet he never imagined Feng Yanrong would value Wang Ping'an so much, even daring to claim that Wang Ping'an could raise Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect to a higher level!

He knows exactly what kind of place Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect is, having cultivated at Ziyang Palace; he understands its strength better than most, and although the Musician Path isn't a mainstream Daxia occupation, it isn't obscure either—many cultivators follow this route, carving out terrifying reputations, and numerous Musician Path masters have left their names in history.

Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect.

It can be said to be one of the top sects within the Musician Path profession, having produced many ascended immortals; while not all historically renowned Musician Path masters hail from Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect, at least about half do.

Currently Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect is not in decline; it may not be at its peak, but it can be described as a flourishing era with countless masters, and it is said that every hundred years one or two Musician Path practitioners ascend to the upper realms. He finds it hard to imagine that Wang Ping'an, in Feng Yanrong's words, could be the one to lift Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect to a higher level.

This is likely something that neither the current nor the next generation heads of Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect can accomplish!

"This fellow cultivator, just to snatch my prized disciple, is even spouting such rubbish…"

Xuanqing Daozhang couldn't help but mutter a sarcastic comment, and before he finished, a flash of insight flickered in his mind, prompting him to say thoughtfully:

"Hold on, if I truly consent to let our Wang Ping'an switch sects—whether to become her disciple or be taken to Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect—by finding him a new master, his innate talent might indeed enable Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect to ascend another level!"

Wang Ping'an's current displays of the uncanny are quite impressive.

Especially since he is only a few months old and still immature, yet can achieve such uncanny feats; he is astonished.

However, over tens of thousands of years or even longer, there have indeed been children more uncanny than Wang Ping'an; perhaps within Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect there exist disciples surpassing his uncanny nature.

Wang Ping'an's current uncanny displays are insufficient to elevate Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect further.

Yet he suddenly recalls that our Wang Ping'an might be the legendary Innate Dao Body; provided no mishap occurs, his Innate Dao Body could indeed lift Leshan Sect Sect Sect Sect to a higher tier.

However.

Feng Yanrong likely still doesn't know that our Wang Ping'an is an Innate Dao Body, yet she still utters such words, revealing the extent of her regard for him.
