Chapter 5: The Fickleness of Life
Showered with compliments and congratulations, Jing Chuanling grinned as he moved his gaze to the front gate. When he saw Jing Yan, who was about to step out of the Martial Arts Performing Stadium, Jing Chuanling curled his lip.
His stare grew slightly more intense as he stretched the corner of his mouth upward.
"Jing Chuanling, you have done so well. Three months ago, you had just reached the Seventh Heaven Rank of Martial Arts. Within only three months, you've reached the Eighth Heaven. Very good! Keep going. I hope you can reach the Ninth Heaven soon," the fifth Elder also praised Jing Chuanling.
"Here are 200 Spiritual Stones. They are your reward," said the fifth Elder, Jing Yuxiang. He handed a sack to Jing Chuanling, his eyes full of fondness.
"Thank you very much, Fifth Elder." Jing Chuanling casually took the sack full of Spiritual Stones.
Surrounded by envious eyes, Jing Chuanling walked to the side. He didn't leave the Martial Arts Performing Stadium immediately. Instead, he stayed to enjoy the compliments from many other disciples of the family. He just loved that feeling.
"Two hundred Spiritual Stones as a reward!" Jing Yan had already left the Martial Arts Performing Stadium. Still, he heard the reward that the family had given Jing Chuanling this month.
"And I've only got two Spiritual Stones."
"Two Spiritual Stones. That's not enough to keep me going until I reach the Fourth Heaven." Jing Yan shook his head slightly. "Alas, I never imagined that I, Jing Yan, would one day be concerned because of a lack of Spiritual Stones. If I'd known this, I would have stocked up on Spiritual Stones when I could."
Jing Yan went back to his room and tried to activate the ultimate divine power of the Arch of Heaven again.
Although the cultivation method was powerful, without Spiritual Stones, it would take a lot longer for Jing Yan to break through the Fourth Heaven.
One hour later, Jing Yan left his little yard and headed toward Jing Chuanling's place.
