"In that case, Mr. Weng, please cultivate diligently. There's no need to rush. You've already found the path, so just take your time."
"Yes." Weng Qifeng slowly calmed his excitement and sighed, "A person's fate is truly..."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "That is fate, unpredictable. Until the very end, no one knows what will happen."
"Indeed." Weng Qifeng sighed, "My master once told me that to step into the Grandmaster realm, one needs the help of a benefactor. I never believed it."
He shook his head as he said this, "As expected, my master saw things clearly."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "But you also need to help yourself. Without Mr. Weng's decades of diligent cultivation, even if I wanted to help, I wouldn't be able to."
"Haha—" Weng Qifeng laughed, "What the Young Lord says is true. Young Lord, you're about to become a Grandmaster as well, right?"
"I'll reach the peak of the Master realm in the next few days, and then I'll slowly explore the path to the Grandmaster realm." Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
Weng Qifeng said, "Congratulations, Young Lord. With your talent, you definitely won't be like me."
"Let's hope so." Chu Zhiyuan smiled and stood up, "Mr. Weng, I'll take my leave first. I just returned and need to see my family."
"Yes." Weng Qifeng cupped his fist in salute.
Chu Zhiyuan walked out of the courtyard, strolling slowly.
Zou Fang followed closely behind them.
Guo Chi couldn't help but sigh, "The Young Lord is truly amazing. He actually recruited a Grandmaster."
Grandmasters aren't people you can just recruit, yet the Young Lord managed to recruit one.
One has to say, his vision is truly unique.
Chu Zhiyuan glared at him, "Don't you slack off. Cultivate diligently and reach the peak of the Master realm as soon as possible."
"Yes." Guo Chi hurriedly replied.
He also had the ambition to become a Grandmaster, especially being by Chu Zhiyuan's side, this ambition was even stronger.
If the Young Lord can help others achieve the Master realm, why can't he help someone achieve the Grandmaster realm?
With the Young Lord's talent, there's definitely no problem.
What he needs to do is cultivate desperately and step into the peak of the Master realm as soon as possible.
Then, with the Young Lord's guidance, he can step into the Grandmaster realm in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, he smiled, his eyes shining.
Chu Zhiyuan ignored his wild thoughts and instead recalled Weng Qifeng's changes.
He wanted to understand how Grandmasters changed from these changes.
What could cause these changes in a Master.
All Grandmasters are confused about their breakthrough, not understanding why.
They know what happened but not why, unable to explain why the door to the Grandmaster realm appeared naturally,
and then they stepped into the Grandmaster realm.
Why the door to the Grandmaster realm appeared, they didn't know.
If he could unlock the mysteries within, it would shock the world, even affecting the entire world's situation.
"Big brother!" Chu Yi cheered and pounced over.
Chu Zhiyuan reached out to stop her and smiled, "Mind your manners."
Chu Yi slapped his arm in front of him and said娇嗔, "You old stick-in-the-mud! Big brother, you're finally back!"
And it's getting faster and faster.
Li Suyue had already stepped into the Master realm, reaching the second heaven of the Master realm.
Chu Yi had already become a Master, stepping into the first heaven.
He really didn't know what happened in the past half month that allowed them to improve so much.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Did you encounter some fortuitous event?"
"Hehe, yes, we encountered a fortuitous event." Chu Yi said triumphantly.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Suyue.
Chu Yi smiled and said, "Once when we were practicing, we accidentally bumped into that tree. As a result, a force surged from the tree and directly pushed us into the Master realm. It was so magical!"
Chu Zhiyuan was thoughtful.
This was the Everlasting Spirit Tree helping them.
It seems that the Everlasting Spirit Tree is indeed particularly fond of them, helping them so actively.
It's also possible that their aura is of great help to the Everlasting Spirit Tree, and the Everlasting Spirit Tree is returning the favor.
As for harming them, he wasn't worried.
The Everlasting Spirit Tree is full of spirituality, but it has the innocence of a child and no intention of harming people.
"Don't spread this matter," Chu Zhiyuan said.
"Of course." Chu Yi rolled her eyes at him and said, "We're not stupid."
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Li Suyue.
Chu Yi said, "Sister Li won't tell the people of the Flying Flower Sword Sect."
Chu Zhiyuan said, "If your master asks, it's okay to tell her directly, just have her keep it a secret."
He was about to step into the Grandmaster realm and could protect the royal palace. Even if they knew that the royal palace had a divine tree that could help with cultivation, it wouldn't matter.
No one would dare to rush into the royal palace to snatch this Everlasting Spirit Tree.
Even if the Emperor knew it was the Everlasting Spirit Tree, he wouldn't do anything, after all, it was given by his second uncle.
A gift from an elder cannot be refused.
Bai Ning霜 and Chu Minghou arrived together.
She wore a golden thread palace dress, and the golden hair ornaments swayed gently, like a fairy.
Seeing him, Bai Ning霜's face immediately lit up with a smile, but then she straightened her face and said unhappily, "You've been out playing in the wild, haven't you? Don't you want to come back to the palace?"
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and greeted the two of them.
"Are you alright?" Chu Minghou looked him up and down, "Your news is spreading everywhere, saying that you killed countless people in the Eastern Territory."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled embarrassedly, "It's not as exaggerated as they say."
"Then how many did you kill?" Chu Minghou asked.
Chu Zhiyuan said, "Three or four hundred, maybe."
Chu Yi stuck out her tongue.
Li Suyue also looked over in surprise.
Bai Ning霜 snorted, "That's about the same as what's being said outside."
Chu Minghou shook his head and said, "Although they are evil cultists, killing so many people is still—"
"What are evil cultists?" Bai Ning霜 said, "It's just like killing pigs."
"—Alas." Chu Minghou sat down helplessly, "The impeachments from the court are increasing day by day."
Bai Ning霜 immediately raised her eyebrows and scolded, "Are these guys crazy? Killing evil cultists is a crime?"
Chu Minghou said, "They say that Yuan'er has disrupted the entire Eastern Territory. There are too many evil cultists, leading to poor security,
many deaths and injuries, and the people are not at peace."
"That's nonsense." Bai Ning霜 said.
Chu Minghou said, "There is some truth to this. Originally, there weren't so many evil cultists, but now there are so many,
how can it not be chaotic."
"Weren't they all killed?"
"There are always some who are sensible and afraid of death. These evil cultists are still harming the people."
"Then these evil cultists should be killed even more. These guys are up to no good!" Bai Ning霜 snorted.
She immediately realized that these people were doing it on purpose.
Chu Zhiyuan listened to Chu Minghou's complaint and smiled, "Let them be."
Bai Ning霜 snorted, "If they say so, your ten points of merit will become five points, or even be turned upside down and become a crime."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Now, for me, merit is not that important."
"You, you have Ruoling there." Bai Ning霜 immediately smiled and said, "In these days that you were away, Ruoling has been sending letters back and sending things over, more considerate than you, her son."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and nodded.
Xiao Ruoling did a great job in this regard, always remembering to please Bai Ning霜.
Chu Zhiyuan looked at Chu Minghou, "Is Imperial Grandfather still not seeing me?"
Chu Minghou shook his head.
Bai Ning霜 frowned lightly, "It's really strange."
"The Emperor always has his reasons." Chu Minghou said, "You will naturally have an audience when it's time for an audience. There's no need to rush."
Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
