To think that us old bunch of bones had been standing under the hot sun for close to two hours, listening to you spouting rubbish that could not be more nonsensical? Can you be more shameless?
Truly preposterous! To actually dare to answer the Manor Lord like that!
Truthfully, Jun Mo Xie was also exceedingly helpless. That old fellow's question had obviously been asked to make things difficult for this Young Master! If I said that the miracle had something to do with me, that would simply mean that I'm being too arrogant, don't know humility, self praising, and shameless... In the future, even if I had some achievements, it would be very limited.
But if I said that it had nothing to do with me, it would mean that I do not have a shred of self confidence and will not have many achievements in the future either.
Cultivation was something that was focused on pursuing the peak. How could one not have any self confidence?
Jun Mo Xie could already guess that if he answered in the normal way, it would immediately draw a round of criticism and attacks! Because this was basically a trap! It wouldn't be correct no matter what he answered!
Just from that sneaky look in that Miao old fellow's eyes, he could already determine this result...
With this Young Master's intellect, how could he fall for such an obvious trap?
Therefore, Young Master Jun started talking about the history and legends, confusing their minds and before finally concluding with the answer. Miracles were something that could not be explained!
En, if you say that it can be explained, you can try to explain it on the spot. This Young Master will not be involved in this...
Everybody could conclude that Miao Jing Yun would definitely fly into a rage this time!
Even Cao Guo Feng, Bai Qi Feng, and the rest were sweating for him. This kid is truly too gutsy... Although this question is indeed somewhat difficult to answer for you, but... to toy with the Manor Lord like this, was a little too risky... If this old Miao got angry and made some arrangements, your bright future in the Misty Illusionary Manor might end here...
Surprisingly, after Miao Jing Yun heard his reply, his face sunk for a moment and he suddenly smiled."Good brat... you're indeed born with a sharp tongue! I've got to hand it to you!"
With a loud laugh, the matter was actually over...
This result caused all the others to be so shocked that they almost fell down.
Following that, the crowd began to chat leisurely.
After exchanging a few more words politely with the other Seniors, Jun Mo Xie cleverly retreated back to his room, not participating in the meeting of these few old fellows.
But when he left, he could clearly sense eight, nine spiritual senses locked closely on his body, following behind him closely, observing his every word and action, even his faintest expressions and the movements of his muscles...
Because, only incredibly minute body language could determine his true reactions...
Jun Mo Xie did not have any interest to bother with them as he scoffed coldly in his heart. Those methods of yours are truly too boring for this Young Master... Since all of you are so concerned about me, I'll give you another surprise...
His face calm and steady, he directly sat down, shut his eyes, and began to cultivate seriously.
The few Patriarchs looked at each other, their eyes filled with amazement and praise. After a meeting with the Misty Illusory Manor's Manor Lord and so many big characters, which youth could maintain a calm state of mind and concentrate on cultivation?
That was basically an impossibility.
But this Free and Natural Physique prodigy actually seemed to be completely unaffected, directly returning to his room and cultivating with a steadfast mind... just this extraordinary state of mind had far surpassed all the other of his highly talented peers...
As expected of the Free and Natural Physique prodigy ah! Just this calmness and steady heart... is remarkable!
Cao Guo Feng and the rest beamed happily, feeling that they'd greatly gained face.
When a disciple did well, the happiest were naturally the teachers...
A faint smile of interest appeared on the corner of Miao Jing Yun's mouth as he looked deeply at Jun Mo Xie several times... however, he couldn't see through what this kid was thinking...
The crowd simply sat around in the middle of this bamboo forest, chatting leisurely. No one seemed as if they had any intentions of leaving. Quite clearly, these people were planning to stay here for lunch...
This was a place that had experienced a miracle! That was naturally a cause for celebration.
Cao Guo Feng had already made preparations for this in advance, waving his hand and informing the servants to prepare.
Just at this time, a silver light suddenly flashed, and following that, a dazzling golden light!
And the direction from which the golden light had come from was Young Master Jun's room!
Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng's faces changed, and they quickly charged over in a flash.
Everyone also followed over with confusion.
When they came closer and observed the phenomenon, all of them revealed looks of disbelief...
Half of this Free and Natural Physique prodigy's body was glowing with silver light, while the other half was shimmering with gold...
This was a sight that would only appear when one broke through the Silver Xuan realm to Golden Xuan.
Cao Guo Feng wrung his hands anxiously."Why did he breakthrough now... this this this... we made no preparations at all..."
Saint Emperor Cao's face was painted with worry and anxiousness, while the other six Saint Emperors also paced around restlessly.
The other Patriarchs were even more shocked!
It turned out that this breakthrough was something that even Saint Emperor Cao wasn't informed of! In other words, this was a natural breakthrough!
In a short instant, everyone's expressions changed!
One had to know that when Mo Jun Ye first arrived, his cultivation was weak, at just the middle stage of Silver Xuan. There were still two levels between him and Golden Xuan, being the Silver Xuan upper realm and peak Silver Xuan. Even after reaching the peak of Silver Xuan, one still needed the proper comprehension and the right opportunity to breakthrough...
But who would have thought that in just a short five, six days, this kid would actually manage to breakthrough all the way to Golden Xuan in a single stroke! This kind of advancement speed... was truly never seen before!
Although he'd eaten the Seven Colored Holy Fruits a few days ago, but without pairing it with the Exquisite Lotus, the Seven Colored Holy Fruits would only have the effect of nourishing the body and meridians, not having any effects towards increasing cultivation strength...
Moreover, he had been carrying grievous wounds when he first arrived and was only saved by the Seven Colored Holy Fruits, still requiring a period of recuperation... who would have thought that in just five, six days, he would actually be able to breakthrough to the next realm?!
A few days ago, he was still struggling on the verge of death, fighting for a breath of life. And in such a short time, he could already soar to the next level?
Such a shocking matter had far exceeded the understanding of everyone present!
Everyone was completely speechless...
The people present here were all powerful experts that had reached the Saint Emperor realm. There were even a number who were Patriarchs of large families. To climb to their current level, which one of them was not a genius among geniuses? But no matter what kind of heaven defying genius they were, they had never heard of such terrifying speed before...
How shocking ah...
"You guys haven't fed him anything strange in these few days, right!?" Miao Jing Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Guo Feng.
"Nope! He hadn't eaten anything that has too much spirit energy... As he's still recovering from his previous heavy injuries, receiving too much nourishment with a weak body would instead result in opposite effects. This is still a concept that we can understand..." Cao Guo Feng shook his head, his expression still one of anxiousness.
Right now, the kid was still in the middle of a breakthrough, and he could only depend on himself!
It was no wonder that Saint Emperor Cao was so worried...
If it was before his breakthrough or after, he could lend him a helping hand. But in this instant, it was impossible!
"Hm... didn't eat anything..." Miao Jing Yun muttered as he nodded slowly...
Under the astonished gaze of everyone, the silver light on Jun Mo Xie's body slowly turned golden and with a bright flash, everything disappeared into his body...
This was a phenomenon that would only appear upon a complete breakthrough!
The sound of jaws dropping onto the ground could be heard everywhere!
Without the guidance of a teacher, without first accumulating enough energy, without any sort of preparations, and seemingly without any supporting spirit herbs or heavenly treasures, this kid... had, in such strange circumstances and completely unexpected time...
Broke through by himself!
Broken through so mysteriously!
And it was the most perfect and complete breakthrough!
All the other Patriarchs turned to stare wide eyed at Cao Guo Feng, Bai Qi Feng, and the others. Their eyes were filled with unconcealed admiration and envy! Why... did such a good seedling fall into the hands of Cao Guo Feng and the few of them? This was simply feeding a white cabbage to pigs! What a waste of a good talent. If the ones who found this kid were them... how awesome would that be?
Only Miao Jing Yun had a slightly different expression. The same look of envy was tinged with a hint of joy and expectation. Turning around, he smiled at Cao Guo Feng."I say, Old Cao, what time is this already? The few of us come by so rarely; could it be that you're intending to let us leave with an empty stomach? How are the preparations for lunch? This old man is really quite hungry already. Could it be that a single meal is going to empty your pockets? Let's start eating quickly!"
With the cultivation of this old fellow, not to mention skipping one meal, even if he didn't eat for 10 days straight, he wouldn't feel hungry at all. Quite clearly, he was not really 'hungry'. He was simply using lunch as an excuse to steer the topic away.
Cao Guo Feng could clearly sense that the Manor Lord's attitude towards him had become much more casual. This kind of casualness, represented a kind of acknowledgement, regard, and... kinship!
Saint Emperor Cao naturally knew his standing. Although his strength was high, having reached the Third level of Saint Emperor, it was still not enough for the Manor Lord to treat him differently. The only explanation for this was this precious disciple of his!
In that moment, Cao Guo Feng felt extremely moved!
The reason for this was not Miao Jing Yun's attention, but his darling disciple!
How gladdening, ah!
