    Chapter 378

    After bringing Su Hao over, Feng Wanliu said gently,

    "Junior Brother Feng Wei, follow Senior Sister Feng Cai'er inside."

    With that, he slowly turned and left the hall.

    Feng Cai'er wore a flowing green robe, a charming smile resting on her face. When she saw Su Hao, her eyes lit up. She walked over, carefully looked him up and down, then covered her mouth with a smile.

    "What a handsome little Junior Brother. The road of cultivation is long and filled with hardships. If you ever encounter any problems, you can always come to Senior Sister Cai'er."

    Su Hao quietly took half a step back, keeping a polite distance.

    He had never enjoyed this kind of enthusiasm from someone he had just met. There was no such thing as kindness without reason. If someone treated you well for no apparent reason, they usually wanted something.

    Beside them stood Feng Changge with his ponytail, quietly lowering his gaze as though he hadn't seen or heard anything.

    The "Master of Deception" in battle turned out to be surprisingly reserved in everyday life.

    Seeing Su Hao instinctively distance himself, Feng Cai'er laughed triumphantly before glancing at the mature and handsome Feng Changge. She restrained her smile and said,

    "Let's go. We shouldn't keep Elder Feng waiting."

    She led the way into the main hall, followed by Feng Changge and Su Hao.

    In the cultivation world, the person with the highest cultivation always held the greatest authority.


    ---

    The three entered the spacious hall.

    Its furnishings were surprisingly simple, nothing like what Su Hao had imagined.

    Rows of low tables lined both sides, while a broad, white-haired middle-aged man sat at the head of the hall. His build was sturdy, his complexion ruddy, and his vitality far surpassed that of an ordinary middle-aged man.

    Feng Cai'er stepped forward first and bowed respectfully.

    "Elder Feng, disciple Feng Cai'er greets you."

    Feng Changge followed.

    "Elder Feng, disciple Feng Changge greets you."

    Su Hao also bowed.

    "Elder Feng, disciple Feng Wei greets you."

    As he observed the elder, Su Hao thought to himself,

    "So this is the second strongest expert of the Feng Lineage... He should be a Nascent Soul cultivator."

    "From a distance he didn't seem particularly special, but standing before him, I can clearly sense how condensed his vitality is. It's far stronger than ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, and he exudes a faint pressure."

    "If we fought... could I kill him instantly?"

    Su Hao subconsciously compared the possibilities.

    After thinking it over, he felt the odds were fairly good.

    Of course, he still didn't fully understand the methods of a Nascent Soul cultivator and wasn't arrogant enough to be completely certain.

    "If I can't win... I'll just teleport away."


    ---

    Elder Feng slowly opened his eyes.

    A brilliant light flashed across them as he swept his gaze over the three disciples before finally nodding with satisfaction.

    "You three are the outstanding talents of our Feng Lineage. Very good."

    He gently waved his hand.

    Three porcelain bottles floated from beside him and stopped before the three disciples.

    "These are the Essence Origin Pill, the Golden Return Pill, and the Foundation Pill. Consider them rewards for earning the qualifications to represent the Feng Lineage."

    The three accepted them respectfully.

    "Thank you, Elder."

    Su Hao received the Foundation Pill, an extremely precious pill that greatly increased one's chances of successfully breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

    He glanced at the bottle in Feng Changge's hand.

    The Golden Return Pill was clearly meant to aid a breakthrough into the Golden Core Realm.

    Meanwhile, Feng Cai'er's Essence Origin Pill was undoubtedly a treasure used for breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

    Even judging by the bottles alone, theirs looked vastly more valuable than the small porcelain bottle in Su Hao's hand.

    Feng Changge couldn't hide his delight after receiving the Golden Return Pill.

    Feng Cai'er also smiled upon receiving the Essence Origin Pill.

    However, Su Hao noticed something strange.

    Her smile looked... forced.

    As for Su Hao himself, he couldn't help thinking,

    "What use is a pill to me? I'd rather have the pill formula. Or better yet, just give me an Artifact."


    ---

    After exchanging a few formal words, Elder Feng turned to Feng Cai'er with a warm smile.

    "Cai'er, your talent is extraordinary. After the sect tournament ends, unless something urgent arises, you needn't return to Ling Mountain Province. Remain in the sect and cultivate wholeheartedly."

    "Break through to the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible."

    "Our Feng Lineage hasn't produced a new Nascent Soul Elder in many years."

    "The position of the Seventh Elder... belongs to you."

    The moment those words were spoken, Su Hao clearly noticed Feng Cai'er's body tremble.

    She immediately forced an excited smile onto her face.

    "Thank you, Elder, for your guidance and trust."

    "I will not disappoint the sect's expectations. I will break through to the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible and serve the sect."

    Elder Feng nodded with satisfaction.

    "I summoned you today simply to meet the outstanding disciples of our Feng Lineage."

    "Feng Cai'er."

    "Feng Changge."

    "Feng Wei."

    "I'll remember all three of your names."

    "Continue cultivating diligently."


    ---

    The three bowed once more before leaving the cave residence.

    The instant they stepped outside, Feng Cai'er's expression darkened.

    She completely lost the playful attitude she'd shown earlier.

    Without saying another word, she formed several hand seals and flew away.

    Feng Changge and Su Hao exchanged puzzled looks.

    Feng Changge merely glanced at Su Hao before silently taking to the sky and leaving as well.

    Watching them disappear, Su Hao muttered,

    "They're all impressive... flying off in the blink of an eye."

    "What a miserable life for a Qi Induction cultivator."

    However, Feng Cai'er's drastic change after meeting Elder Feng lingered in his mind.

    "Something definitely happened."

    "There must be some secret I'm unaware of."

    No matter how much he thought about it, there wasn't enough information to reach a conclusion.

    He quickly put it aside.

    "More importantly, I need to finish studying Alchemy and Artifact Refinement."

    Then another problem occurred to him.

    "How am I supposed to get back?"

    "Running all the way would take forever."

    After pondering for a moment, inspiration struck.

    "Maybe I can do this."

    Su Hao immediately formed several hand seals.

    Wind Spirit Shield.

    Wind Walking Technique.

    A gentle current of wind wrapped around his body.

    After taking a running start, he leapt from the stone platform into the open sky and aimed both palms downward.

    Wind Bullet!

    Boom!

    A violent burst of compressed wind exploded from his palms.

    The recoil propelled him forward like an arrow released from a bow.

    Just as his momentum began to fade—

    Wind Bullet!

    Boom!

    Another explosive burst accelerated him once more, carrying him rapidly across the sky until he disappeared into the distance.


    ---

    Hidden nearby, Feng Wanliu slowly stepped out from the shadows.

    Watching Su Hao's retreating figure, he stood there dumbfounded.

    "...A genius really is a genius."

    "He even thought of using Wind Bullet like that."

    For countless years, Wind Bullet had been regarded as nothing more than a basic offensive technique.

    No one had ever considered using its recoil for flight.

    He sighed in admiration.

    "It really proves that whether a technique is powerful has little to do with the technique itself."

    "It depends entirely on the cultivator using it."


    ---

    After this experiment, Su Hao had finally acquired a legitimate way to fly while remaining in the Qi Induction Realm.

    Although it wasn't especially fast, it was far more convenient than running across mountains and forests.

    Upon returning to Luanshi Peak, Su Hao sat cross-legged on his bed, closed his eyes, and entered the Marble Space.

    His first task was to redesign this flight method.

    "I need to optimize the structure of the Wind Spirit Shield so it can better withstand high-speed flight."

    "Next, adjust the flow generated by the Wind Walking Technique."

    "Finally, improve the release pattern of Wind Bullet so propulsion becomes more stable..."

    Only two hours later, Su Hao completed the entire design.

    Looking over the finished model, he nodded with satisfaction.

    "Now I won't need anyone else to carry me through the sky."

    "I can fly on my own."

    "And it all looks perfectly reasonable."


    ---

    The following day, nearly two thousand cultivators of Yunzhong Valley gathered around the enormous arena.

    The crowd buzzed with excitement as everyone discussed who would become the Senior Brother Token holder in each realm.

    Every lineage naturally believed its own representative would emerge victorious.

    The disciples of the Yun Lineage supported Yun Qingping.

    The Yue Lineage supported Yue Shangzhi.

    The Chen Lineage supported Chen Xin.

    Likewise, the Feng Lineage firmly believed:

    For the Qi Induction Realm—

    Feng Yizhi.

    For the Foundation Establishment Realm—

    Feng Changge.

    For the Golden Core Realm—

    Feng Cai'er.

    In their eyes, the Feng Lineage's techniques were the strongest.


    ---

    The six Qi Induction representatives gathered atop the arena.

    After a senior sect cultivator announced the rules, the competition for the Senior Brother Token officially began.

    However, before anyone made a move, the six contestants began politely yielding to one another.

    "Senior Brother Yun Qingping, it seems this year's Senior Brother Token will belong to you."

    "The Yun Lineage has always ranked first."

    Yun Qingping secretly cursed.

    "Trying to make everyone target me?"

    Outwardly, he smiled politely.

    "Not at all. Compared to Senior Brother Yue Shangzhi, I'm still lacking."

    "The Yue Lineage's techniques are extraordinary."

    "I doubt I could defeat you."

    "Actually, I think Senior Brother Chen Xin has an even better chance."

    "The Chen Lineage is publicly recognized as the strongest in the Qi Induction Realm."

    Chen Xin immediately shook his head.

    "Impossible."

    "The two of you needn't be so modest."

    "I think Junior Sister Yu Feier is certain to win."

    Yu Feier smiled sweetly.

    At that moment, Wu Qiaoqiao giggled.

    "What about me?"

    "Don't any of you Senior Brothers think I can win?"

    The three young men looked at one another before nodding in perfect agreement.

    "Then the Senior Brother Token must belong to Junior Sister Qiaoqiao!"
