After listening to Liu Changsheng, Ye Han generally understood the situation: the seventh-grade Sect was not that great!
"Congratulations to Host's Sect Disciple Li Sheng for winning first place in the spirit refining division, hereby rewarded with a peak foundation establishment cultivation, one Wash Marrow Pill, and three Medium Grade Spiritual Artifacts."
"Good. Good. Good."
Meanwhile, Liu Changsheng and the others looked at Ye Han's Cultivation with indifference; they couldn't fathom what Ye Han was thinking.
His Cultivation kept jumping around, first qi refining, then spirit refining, and now playing around at foundation establishment.
One could only say, "I don't understand the thoughts of a big shot..."
Ye Han suppressed the excitement in his heart, tossed an inner armor to Li Sheng, and handed a Medicinal Pill to Xia Ziyun.
"This is your reward, the Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact, Chainmail! Although Zi Yun didn't win first place, there's also a reward for comprehending Sword Intent.
This is a Wash Marrow Pill; after consuming it, you can remove Impurities from your body and form a saint body."
"Wow... Medium Grade Spirit Pill, Wash Marrow Pill."
Liu Qianqian looked at Li Sheng and Xia Ziyun with envy; these were all extremely rare items.
"Thank you, Sect Master!"
Li Sheng and Xia Ziyun looked at Ye Han gratefully, bowing respectfully.
"No problem, just focus on improving yourselves. Oh, by the way, the Meteor Tower has opened over there; all of you can go try it.
Inside is the Meteor Swordplay; how many moves you can comprehend depends on your own ability!"
After Ye Han finished speaking, he suddenly felt a bit melancholic. Sword Intent was incredible; even Xia Ziyun, with her damaged Aptitude, could comprehend it.
Did he have a chance to comprehend it? Sword Intent sounded cool.
Xia Ziyun and the others looked at Ye Han's slightly sorrowful expression, feeling very puzzled.
Li Sheng got first place, and Xia Ziyun also comprehended Sword Intent; this should have been a happy occasion, so why was the Sect Master still looking like this?
They couldn't help but start guessing:
Ling Yun:
Could it be that I'm Cultivating too slowly, making the Sect Master sad? Or does the Sect have some enemies?
No, I must hurry and Cultivate; the Sect Master has shown me great kindness. Once I recover my Cultivation...
No one will ever think of oppressing Eternal Star Sect!!!
Xia Ziyun:
Why is the Sect Master sighing? Is he missing someone he loves? Alas... if only the Sect Master liked me that much too...
She recalled how Ye Han saved her, his expression when he reassured her, and the matter of restoring her talent.
Whether it was true or false, Ye Han having that intention was enough.
Li Sheng:
Did the Sect Master fail his confession? Holy moly! No wonder Liu Qianqian also looks so down; what explosive news!
What a beast! Even when they were alone, he didn't succeed in pursuing her. Is the Sect Master a straight man? I should stay away from him in the future, or else I won't find a wife either...
Liu Changsheng didn't notice; he went into the kitchen to cook, continuing his role as chef in the Sect!
Liu Qianqian, on the other hand, pouted, occasionally looking at Ye Han. She also wanted a Wash Marrow Pill, a Saint Body!
This was a Physique that girls couldn't refuse.
Ye Han had no idea what they were thinking. He sighed and left the spot.
The area immediately fell silent. Just as Li Sheng was about to share the explosive news,
Ling Yun looked solemnly at Xia Ziyun, Li Sheng, and Liu Qianqian and said:
"The Sect Master must have encountered trouble. Even with his Cultivation, he finds it difficult. We must Cultivate even harder!
Otherwise, we will only become a burden to Eternal Star Sect in the future. I, Ling Yun, have received great kindness from the Sect Master and will never allow petty scoundrels to bully my Eternal Star Sect!"
What the heck? Is that what the Sect Master thinks? How do you know?
Li Sheng and the other two looked at the spirited Ling Yun with blank expressions.
Upon closer thought, it seemed to be true...
Li Sheng shook off those unrealistic thoughts and nodded seriously.
Xia Ziyun's pretty face also looked very serious. When she had nowhere to hide, it was Ye Han who took her in.
He even taught her Divine Rank Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill. She would absolutely not let Ye Han face powerful enemies alone!
Liu Qianqian stared blankly at Ling Yun for a moment, then clenched her small fists and nodded. She was going back to Cultivate!
If Ye Han knew what they were thinking, he would probably die of frustration!
Oh heavens... you guys are really overthinking it!
"System, quickly let me see what Spiritual Artifacts they are?"
"A dagger, a sword, an inner armor..."
Ye Han was a bit confused. What was going on? A dagger too? If I fight someone, should I tell him to stand still so I can go stab him?
As for sneak attacks? Don't be ridiculous, I have no enemies, I'm not that bored!
"Forget it, forget it, I'll go to the Meteor Tower tomorrow to comprehend sword moves too!"
"Host doesn't need to do that; whichever move your Disciple comprehends in the Meteor Tower, you will automatically learn it!"
Upon hearing the system's words, Ye Han showed a joyful expression. This was too amazing, wasn't it?
"No, I'll force them to go to the Meteor Tower to comprehend for me later. Who practices Martial Skill themselves normally?"
Ye Han put on a righteous expression, then asked the system again.
"Then do I have a chance to comprehend Sword Intent? With my... trash Aptitude!"
"Yes, as long as Host completes tasks or makes Disciples stronger, anything is possible!"
Ye Han mumbled after hearing that.
"Another empty promise..."
But more than that, he was happy. It being possible was enough; he thought he had no chance to comprehend it.
Sword Intent is divided into: Entry, Minor Achievement, Major Achievement, Peak, and Perfection.
The amplification of each level of Sword Intent is also different; even just Entry can allow one to kill enemies across ranks, showing its terror.
"This stuff is useless if I keep it. These Spiritual Artifacts are to encourage these little friends to go comprehend the Meteor Tower for me! Hehehe."
Ye Han involuntarily let out a sinister laugh. This method of getting stronger through Disciples was simply too good.
Under the bewildered expressions of Xia Ziyun and the others, Ye Han appeared in the Sect hall with a smile.
"Is the Sect Master pretending to be strong? Hmm... it must be. He definitely doesn't want us to overthink things. The Sect Master is under too much pressure..."
Ling Yun looked at Ye Han smiling so happily, his face growing even more solemn. He softly conveyed his thoughts to Xia Ziyun and the others.
Now, everyone thought Ye Han was pretending to be strong, and they smiled along with Ye Han.
"Hehe..."
Ye Han looked at them a bit blankly. He hadn't been gone long, had he?
Why had they all gone crazy? Smiling so falsely... were they discussing robbing Spiritual Artifacts?
"What are you doing? Why are your smiles so fake..."
"Sect Master, we all understand; you don't need to be like this. We will Cultivate diligently!"
Ling Yun looked at Ye Han seriously, appearing very solemn!
"No... what do you understand?"
Ye Han was truly confused by them. Then, a thought struck him: whether their brains had issues or not.
Just let them go to the Meteor Tower to comprehend the swordplay! Hmm... that's what to do.
"Nothing, nothing..."
"Food's here."
Just as Ling Yun and the others were about to explain, Liu Changsheng walked over with the food.
They could only stop there!
Ye Han was the first to gobble down the food, and Xia Ziyun and the others followed suit, though they all ate very gracefully.
Soon.
After eating Liu Changsheng's food, Ye Han told them to go to the Meteor Tower to comprehend swordplay.
Xia Ziyun and the others didn't refuse. This Meteor Tower's swordplay comprehension had no Cultivation restrictions; it entirely depended on one's Aptitude to comprehend.
"Congratulations to Host's Sect Disciple Xia Ziyun for comprehending Meteor Swordplay's Catching Stars Chasing the Moon; Host automatically comprehends max-level Catching Stars Chasing the Moon."
