Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough
chapter-329

At the same time that Xuan Hao was helping Chi Hu's old friend with making a breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm, his two disciples had managed to finish their first sect mission. Dealing with the bandit group before making their way towards the River Sect to gather the Pure Heart Spirit Grass at the Pure Heart Lake.

Even if both Chu Yang and Qing Yi had somewhat come to know about the current situation of the River Sect, it was not something they could get involved in at their cultivation realm. The most they could do, was complete the sect mission before making their way back to the Flying Sword Sect and informing them.

Letting the Flying Sword Sect decide how they would deal with those sects...

"Are you going to return to the River Sect, or will you be following us to the Pure Heart Lake?"

Walking along the road leading away from the Red Flower Ridge where they had dealt with the bandits just a few hours ago, Chu Yang could not help but turn around and ask Huang Yongyu with a curious look on his face.

After all, Huang Yongyu going to the Pure Heart Lake where all of his sect's enemies had gathered together, was nothing short of asking for trouble.

Chu Yang also doubted that he and Qing Yi would be able to keep him safe when going there...

Both of them were protected by their identity as disciples of the Flying Sword Sect, they would not dare to kill them or harm in fear of the Flying Sword Sects retaliation!

Huang Yongyu was different, as the experts from the enemy sects might decide to secretly kill off Huang Yongyu.

Their current cultivation was simply way too low to find out if someone at the Core Formation Realm sneaked up on them before killing Huang Yongyu and escaping.

If something like that happened, there was nothing Chu Yang or Qing Yi would be able to do.

"I... I will be following you to the Pure Heart Lake... The sects would just think that our sect send out someone below the Foundation Establishment Realm and would not care about sending someone to kill me.

The area covered by the Pure Heart Lake is also large and the sects are mostly concentrated in the area closer to my sect, so we should be fine as long as we don't move around the area that those sects have under their control..."

Thinking about it for a short moment, Huang Yongyu answered Chu Yang with a determined look on his face.

He had finally gotten the opportunity to wander out from his sect, there was no way he would willingly return if he had a chance to continue adventuring together with Chu Yang and Qing Yi!

"Fine... We should be get going before they find out about what happened to the bandit group here. Given that they were about to move when we attack them, we might have a few days. Maybe even a week or more left before the sects find out about what happened here!"

Nodding his head after seeing how determined Huang Yongyu was to follow them, Chu Yang agreed to letting Huang Yongyu follow them to the Pure Heart Lake before reminding both him and Qing Yi that they needed to get moving.

Roar~

Moving down the Red Flower Ridge to the place where they had left the demon beast behind. The group of three soon stopped the demon beast in question lazily relaxing beneath a tree with a half-eaten rabbit in its mouth.

"Let's get going!"

Following Chu Yang, the three soon climbed up the demon beasts back before ordering it to get up.

Roar!

The demon beast could only swallow what remained of the rabbit as it reluctantly rose up from its comfy spot in the shade provided by the tree. Moving in the direction of the Pure Heart Lake.

...

Back at the Third Star Peak, Xuan Hao watched over the old woman as she the silver cloud slowly completely merged together with her soul.

Boom!

The aura of the old woman suddenly reached a brand-new level, as Xuan Hao felt the last bit of the silver cloud being absorbed by the new-born nascent soul.

"Congratulations on reaching the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"I-"

Congratulating the old woman with a slight smile on his lips, Xuan Hao watched as she slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him with a confused expression on her face. Clearly still not knowing why he had decided to help her reach the Nascent Soul Realm.

The pill that he had given to her was surely something incredibly precious, it had after all helped her expel the chaotic qi inside of her body and even helped her breakthrough and reach the Nascent Soul Realm!

But this was not the most important thing! The old woman could clearly feel that her soul had undergone a complete transformation.

Compared to the past, she felt like it would be easier to improve her cultivation in the future!

All of these things combined left the old woman even more confused. Failing to understand what she had done to deserve something like that...

"Don't worry so much about it, you're a friend of Chi Hu. Given that he is also a member of the Flying Sword Sect now, it's only natural to help out! By the way, I never managed to get your name..."

Interrupting the old woman's train of thought, Xuan Hao quickly clarified the fact that he had helped her because of Chi Hu and the fact that he was a member of the Flying Sword Sect. Trying not so subtly to influence the old woman's perception of the Flying Sword Sect to be a positive one.

Nodding her head, a bit nervously as she listened to what Xuan Hao said, Zhu Lian quickly moved her exhausted body in front of him before bowing deeply towards Xuan Hao full of gratitude. Expressing her sincere thanks for his help.

"My name is Zhu Lian... Please accept my bow, I can't even begin to repay you for saving me earlier!"

Zhu Lian knew very well how she would have ended up without Xuan Hao's help, so her thanks came from the depth of her heart.

"No need to worry about it..."

Xuan Hao felt a bit awkward upon witnessing Zhu Lian bowing down in front of him and quickly tried to help her up.

"No, this is the least I can do!" Insisting on thanking him, Xuan Hao could only allow her to continue as a few minutes passed before she raised her head up from the ground.

"Now that you have reached the Nascent Soul Realm, I will give you the same option I gave Chi Hu back then and invite you to become an elder or you-"

"Yes! I will join the Flying Sword Sect!"

Not even allowing for him to continue what he was going to say, Zhu Lian interrupted him as she answered with an unwavering determination on her face. Clearly wanting to join the Flying Sword Sect.

Well... It's quite normal I guess; she was after all just saved by me and she might feel that joining the Flying Sword Sect would be a good way to repay me for saving her...

Other than that, the Flying Sword Sect is not weak by any means and at the same time does not really have any enemies after the destruction of the Raging Flame Sect.

"Great! I still have something to do here, but you can just head towards the Flying Sword Sect and look for Chi Hu to help you out with getting settled down. He has after all gone through the process once already..."

Nodding his head as he happily instructed Zhu Lian, Xuan Hao removed the barrier formed by his domain around the lotus flower platform to stop people from looking in while he helped Zhu Lian breakthrough.

"T-they appeared again!"

"Wow... Out of thin air... The lotus flower platform is also back!"

"What happened...? Why is the old woman suddenly fully recovered and even giving off such a powerful aura!?"

"S-she reached the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Unknowingly, Xuan Hao concealing what was happening on the inside, had caused the entire lotus flower platform along with him and Zhu Lian, to disappear directly in front of the people on top of the Third Star Peak.

Now, the moment that they appeared again, Xuan Hao could not help but feel baffled as he watched the old people that had gathered together to enter a life and death seclusion rush over to see what was happening.

Most importantly, someone had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

"I will see you back at the sect..." Not wanting to end up being swarmed be a group of old people, Xuan quickly took his leave. Directly disappearing before either the old people coming over or Zhu Lian could react in time.

"See you..."

Looking in the spot that Xuan Hao had been standing only a moment ago, Zhu Lian could not help but feel a bit bewildered at how he had just disappeared in front of her.

She had not even seen him move before he was gone!

Now that she was in the Nascent Soul Realm, she thought that she had gotten strong, but after seeing Xuan Hao just disappear without her even being able to sense him, Zhu Lian could not help but feel like she still had a long way to go...

Joining the Flying Sword Sect might have ended up being the best decision i ever made...

Thinking this as she thought about how she would be joining a sect with someone that strong and kind in it, Zhu Lian could not help but feel herself growing excited.
