Chapter 110 Strength is the only true measure
After Wang Yan shook his head, Qin Bilian paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, then stopped, looked at him, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
"Wang Yan, are you aware that the other major second-tier sects have already determined their core disciples, but our sect has not yet done so?"
Wang Yan's heart skipped a beat.
At this point, the implication of what Master Qin said was quite clear.
But he still pretended to be clueless: "When I went to the inner peak to collect supplies, Uncle Du told me that Lin Yue had already been chosen, and that the official announcement would be made when her cultivation reached the Condensation stage."
Qin Bilian paused for a moment, then his expression softened slightly before turning serious again: "Lin Yue's sea of consciousness is at the same level as yours, both being at the Prefecture level. Our sect's Void Mirror has recognized her as its master, so the sect leader has also approved of her."
He sat down at the table, picked up a pen, and wrote the three characters "Sect Master Peak": "In addition, you should have heard that the Sect Master has a grandson named Mo Jingqing. He opened his Dao-level sea of consciousness at the age of seven, and formed a three-petaled literary heart flower at the age of ten. Now he has a national-level sea of consciousness, a four-petaled literary heart flower, and is at the peak of the Profound Breaking Realm."
"More than ten days ago, on the day you accidentally ate the mutated Crazy Hemp Grass, Mo Jingqing went into seclusion. If he could advance to the Condensation Realm, I had already promised the sect leader to support Mo Jingqing to become a core scholar of our sect."
"Oh, I know that too." Wang Yan said calmly, "Senior Brother Mo is almost forty years old, isn't he? His talent is worthy of this status."
Qin Bilian raised an eyebrow and stared intently at him: "But his 'Flower of Literary Heart' only has four golden petals, not as good as yours."
"Uh," Wang Yan thought for a moment and decided to be a little more honest with his master Qin: "My Flower of Literary Heart now has more than six petals."
After speaking, Wang Yan moved his mind and the Flower of Literature appeared from between his eyebrows.
The solemn expression on Master Qin's face quickly turned to surprise, and his eyes were fixed on the bright petals.
Wang Yanwei said with a hint of pride, "You know, I've submitted quite a few divine texts during this period, and it's been increasing. I suspect that the number of petals follows the artistic conception of the divine text; the higher the artistic conception, the more petals it has."
After a few breaths of stunned silence, the shock on Qin Bilian's handsome face turned into ecstasy, relief, pride, and shame.
After a few short breaths, his complex expression finally settled into a resolute one, as if he had made some major decision.
Then, he relaxed completely, and with a wry smile, he pointed at Wang Yan: "You kid, you're really good at hiding things, aren't you? If I didn't ask you about the level and number of petals of your sea of consciousness, would you have reported it on your own initiative?"
"No need!" Wang Yan said, seemingly unfazed. "I'm living a very fulfilling life now. I have enough Xuan Qi, enough to fight, and I don't need any pills or equipment. If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have been planning to report it. Besides, a mere Mansion-level Sea of Consciousness isn't exactly a great talent."
"Although I am confident that I can surpass Di Nan's state level in the future, I am not really confident that I can surpass your and Senior Brother Mo's national level, after all, there is still the Dao level in between."
Qin Bilian snorted coldly again, "Keep pretending! With your cultivation level jumping so fast, no one in the world can match you!"
"Hehe..." Wang Yan laughed brightly again, "That's because I used a new divine script when I broke through to the next realm. I can also apply for that, as long as everyone can endure the pain of breaking through!"
Qin Bilian's gaze brightened, and he tapped the table again: "Alright, to make a long story short, as for Mo Jingqing, he should emerge from seclusion before the sect leader. Once he reaches the Qi Condensation stage, I will appoint him as the core scholar."
Wang Yan was slightly taken aback, then smiled faintly, quite nonchalantly: "Grandmaster, you don't need to test me. I understand perfectly well that with Senior Brother Mo's cultivation and aptitude, he should be the core scholar."
Qin Bilian was slightly taken aback. After staring at him for a few moments, his expression became solemn: "You are very sensible. I also promise you that you will be a core disciple of our Divine Literature Peak. Our peak will do its best to cultivate you. Thirty years later, when your cultivation breaks through to the Condensation Realm, we will make you a core disciple."
"As for your Senior Brother Mo, he is older than you and has been taught by the sect leader since childhood. His experience in handling affairs far surpasses yours. For the next thirty years, he will represent our sect in dealing with the challenges from the core scholars of other sects. You and Lin Yue, seize the time and focus on your cultivation."
"In this world, once you reach a certain level of strength, other benefits will naturally follow."
Yes, in this world where the strong are respected, strength is the only true measure of success!
Qin Bilian's clear and open statement at this moment can be considered a heartfelt confession.
Wang Yan immediately understood and laughed: "Our Shenwen Peak has few people but plenty of Xuan Qi. I can calmly rotate between Huolian Peak, Renyi Peak, Danding Peak, and Baicao Peak to hone my skills. I can also help the people of Zhantian Peak fight from time to time. If there are any major events, let Senior Brother Mo take the lead, and I will cheer him on from behind. I think this is quite good."
Qin Bilian's eyes showed a hint of approval: "Yes, that's how it should be done. However, you need to work even harder and try to break through to the Condensation Realm before Lin Yue. That way, after you reach the Condensation Realm, I can suggest to the Sect Master that you become the core scholar."
"Otherwise, the two core cultivators, one male and one female, should logically become Daoist partners..."
Qin Bilian deliberately drew out his words when he got to this point.
"That old lecher!"
Wang Yan knew his intention, but her face immediately darkened, and she quickly agreed, "I will break through before Lin Yue! Lin Yue and Senior Brother Mo will only ever be senior and junior siblings!"
Seeing the smug look of triumph in Qin Bilian's eyes, Wang Yan lazily waved his identity badge again: "Could you help me ask Uncle Deng if you could take my previous disciple badge? I want to establish communication points with Di Nan, Lin Yue, and Senior Brother Qiao respectively."
"Let's wait until this big battle is over before you contact each other again!" Qin Bilian thought for a moment and reminded him, "They're out luring the enemy, so it might not be convenient for them to receive your messages."
Oh, I see...
Wang Yan admitted that he did miss Jiang Linyue a little bit.
However, Qin Bilian's words were not without merit.
"Alright, we'll contact each other again after the battle."
Qin Bilian nodded in satisfaction: "That's right! Also, I remember you used that Xuanqi golden paper talisman that you used to bind Li Huanzhang outside the hall on Zhang Ming before?"
"Yes, I also used one when dealing with Wu Mi." Wang Yan didn't hide anything: "Today we're testing its ability to break the divine runes."
Qin Bilian relaxed his brows: "Hmm, Xiao Jin said that your divine runes are quite useful. When you have time, why not write a few more binding divine runes and put them on the sect platform for fellow disciples to exchange! I'll set the price for you; it will definitely help those fellow disciples outside the sect who are fighting to have more combat methods."
"As for the deciphered divine script, you can keep it for yourself."
Wang Yan chuckled, "Grandmaster, I really don't want to reveal the deciphered divine script. I'll be going then!"
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
……
Wang Yan returned to the next room and used his mind to enter the storage bracelet that Zhu Haijiang had given him.
His face immediately lit up with surprise.
