Chapter 84

Wang Bodang was overjoyed, "Master, please rest assured, we will do our utmost!"

"Good, Suo Ming is a promising young man. His talent isn't outstanding, but he is very focused and determined. He is also reliable and worth cultivating. You should seize this opportunity."

"Disciple understands. To be honest, Master, I only have this one seedling," Wang Bodang said.

"Is that so? It's your poor judgment, not recognizing a gem when you see one!"

Lei Ting said, but in fact, he had calmed down and was no longer anxious. Since Suo Ming said he was his friend, there was a high chance he was a disciple of the Lightning Hall. The senior had visited the Lightning Hall not long ago, perhaps because of this disciple. Could he have some connection with the senior?

Wang Bodang scratched his head, not really understanding what the Master was getting at.

Lei Ting didn't elaborate, "Don't worry about my affairs. Just focus on training the Lightning Hall's physical cultivators. If you embarrass me again, I'll flatten you next time we meet!"

"Disciple understands, disciple understands!"

Wang Bodang knew that Lei Ting was treating him as one of his own. As elders, if they didn't have the Master's guidance, they would have reached their limit. Now, Elder Wang deeply regretted taking on the role of the Lightning Hall's physical cultivation elder. No one wanted to come to this place, but he felt that if Lei Ting ever remembered the Lightning Hall, he might have a chance.

After enduring for so many years, the heavens had finally opened their eyes.

Lei Ting pondered for a moment and didn't try to press further. It involved the senior, and Lei Ting knew the senior's character well. Anyone related to him needed to be handled with care. Since he had already mentioned it to Suo Ming, if he wanted to meet him, he would speak up.

After Lei Ting and the others left, Suo Ming had no heart for forging and immediately rushed to Wang Meng's residence, even having the Shadow Carver check for any followers. In fact, if Lei Ting wanted to follow him, even a hundred Shadow Carvers would be useless.

When he found Wang Meng, Wang Meng was playing with Lingxi. Lingxi had grown stronger without following him, eating well and drinking well with Zhou Feng. At this rate, she might even reach the Sixth Transformation.

Seeing Suo Ming's nervous expression, Wang Meng couldn't help but laugh, "What's the matter? Is the sky falling?"

Suo Ming, however, looked serious, "Boss, do you know Master Lei Ting, the founder of our physical cultivation? He came to my place today and saw the sword you forged. He wants to find you."

Wang Meng shrugged, searching his memory but not knowing who Lei Ting was.

"I don't know him. How could I? What did you say?"

"I said I needed your permission. Strangely, the Master actually agreed, saying that if you were willing, you could talk to him. He mentioned some connection with an old friend, but I didn't understand."

"Oh, he might have mistaken you for someone else. Don't make a big deal out of it. If he asks again, just tell him he's the founder of our Holy Hall. If he doesn't ask, just forget it."

Wang Meng's memories from his previous life were limited. Connection? Even if there was one, it had nothing to do with him now.

Regardless, if Suo Ming could gain Lei Ting's favor, it would be a good thing.

After sending Suo Ming off, Wang Meng calmed down. Some things from his previous life might affect him. Good things often come with trouble. Compared to those he had helped, he had probably offended more.

Before his divine core was unsealed, he really needed to improve his strength as soon as possible. Wang Meng had researched the Five Elements Pill, which wasn't a specific formula. The Five Elements Body was rare, and the arrogant sky of the past didn't need to worry about it. The Demon God Sect had many talents, and even those below the demigod level were skilled in alchemy, which helped the arrogant sky rise.

Although Wang Meng hadn't refined the Five Elements Pill, refining one's Five Elements power was something every cultivator after the Minor Perfection stage had to do. The Wood Essence Pill he planned to refine had to match his Wood attribute, and he couldn't rely on others for this.

With this realization, Wang Meng intensified his cultivation of the Cultivating Essence Art and the Explosive Induction Technique. At the thirteenth level, he only needed to advance a little more to prepare the pill.

Despite his seemingly carefree demeanor, Wang Meng had a perfect grasp of his cultivation rhythm.

Cultivation wasn't just about secluding oneself. He had many resources, and on the surface, it seemed easy to advance, but the opposite was true. He had to pay attention to his rhythm, building a solid foundation that would determine his future.

Zhou Feng also returned to the main hall, telling Wang Meng he was going to handle some matters. In reality, he was going to show off. He had been mocked by Lu Yun for years, and now it was time to raise his head and feel proud. It was time to turn the tables!

Similarly, Lei Ting was in a great mood. Seclusion? Seclusion be damned!

He was also looking forward to the Hundred Treasures Hall Gathering. This time, he would make a good impression. No matter who that boy was, if he was participating in the gathering, there would be a chance to showcase him. The senior's chosen disciple would definitely not be wrong, especially since he was from the Lightning Hall. This time, he would make a big impression!

Another one of the six founders, Zhao Tianlong, was also in a good mood. Zhao Lingxuan was becoming more sensible and had been working hard to reach the twentieth level. Among the Zhao family's disciples, only his great-granddaughter was the best. Others, like Zhao Guang, were just average. They could become elders, but they lacked the potential to inherit the Zhao family's legacy and become a founder. Zhao Tianlong placed all his hopes on Zhao Lingxuan.

The family was a special existence within the Holy Hall system, inseparable yet independent. However, the prerequisite was to have a founder in place. Otherwise, the family would gradually decline.

With his foundation, he could live for another thirty years, but he had to cultivate a successor for the Zhao family, just as the Li family had Li Tianyi, and the Zhao family had Zhao Lingxuan.

"Master, Zhao Guang requests an audience."

Zhao Tianlong opened his eyes, "Let him in."

Soon, Zhao Guang entered. Although he had been there a few times, each time he saw the Master, who held the power of life and death over the Zhao family, he still felt a bit nervous. However, he knew that Zhao Tianlong despised weak people.

"Disciple Zhao Guang pays respects to the Master!"

Zhao Guang performed the formal bow.

Zhao Tianlong nodded faintly, "Rise."

"Thank you, Master."

Zhao Tianlong's gaze was like a knife, scrutinizing people as if they were magical artifacts. Whether someone was a promising talent couldn't escape his eyes.

Zhao Guang was decent among the younger generation. Without Zhao Lingxuan, Zhao Tianlong might have chosen him, but with Zhao Lingxuan, he was just a backup. Zhao Tianlong detested internal strife, so he set the positions from the beginning, and the choice was only in his heart. Of course, the children could prove themselves through effort.

"What is it? Speak."

"Master, I would like to invite you to the Hundred Treasures Hall Gathering this time."

Zhao Guang was straightforward. He knew he wasn't favored, but he never accepted his fate.
