Chapter 35 - 31: The Enemy is a Treasure, Wandering Dragon Exorcism Hand
Ma Rusong had just left when Yang Mountain hurriedly entered the Steward’s Tower. "Steward Lin, the Thousand Fangs Atlas is here. It contains detailed information about the Marsh Python Liao Race."
This Yang Mountain is quite efficient!
Lin Xuankong took the atlas and looked at Yang Mountain. "Everyone seems apprehensive about this task. What are your thoughts?"
Yang Mountain decisively cupped his hands and said, "Disciple has been consuming the Yin Talisman Sect’s medicinal herbs and receiving the monthly wage. Especially since Steward Lin allowed me to manage the dining hall and inns, which have brought considerable profit. Having received so many benefits, I must exert some effort!"
"Aren’t you afraid of dying in battle?" Lin Xuankong asked.
Yang Mountain laughed freely. "Of course, I’m afraid, but Martial Cultivators cultivate the skills of killing enemies and surviving. We live on the edge of danger, licking blood from the knife’s blade. Moreover, during the entry-level martial competition, I had an epiphany and broke through my bottleneck. I advanced to the Early Stage of the Second Layer two days ago. My chances of surviving this task should be higher!"
Lin Xuankong was slightly surprised. "You’ve already advanced to the Early Stage of the Second Layer? So fast!"
Yang Mountain said, "I possess a family-inherited Martial Dao. I started laying the foundation at six years old. At eighteen, I reached the First Layer. Now, at twenty-four, it has taken me a full six years to advance from the First Layer to the Early Stage of the Second Layer. This Cultivation Speed is decent among Independent Martial Cultivators, but it’s far behind talented disciples like Gu Beicheng Steward, who reportedly reached the Late Stage of the First Layer in just six years of Martial Cultivation!"
Lin Xuankong smiled. "Advancing to the Second Layer is good. Our settlement has gained another tiger general! Go back and prepare well. When we return victorious, we shall celebrate together!"
After Yang Mountain left, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but shake his head. Gu Beicheng, labeled as Four Seals, is a rare genius in the Yin Talisman Sect, his Talent second only to Jiang Yuran’s. Yet, his cultivation is so slow? He actually spent six whole years to reach the Late Stage of the First Layer... It took me only a little over a month to reach the Late Stage of the First Layer! Accustomed to my own rapid Cultivation Speed, it’s only today I’ve realized how difficult Martial Cultivation is for others. You truly don’t know until you compare—the difference is shocking!
After sighing to himself, Lin Xuankong began to study the contents of the atlas carefully.
