Qi Cultivation Starting from the Repair Panel

Such individuals usually possessed high-grade Immortal Techniques and secret techniques, capable of defeating enemies from higher realms. Ordinary monks in the Mid-Stage Soul Condensing Realm would be swiftly swept aside by them.

With Chu Zheng being in the Early Entry Dao Realm, ranking among the top 500 meant that he possessed the strength to defeat enemies from significantly higher realms.

This was something unprecedented.

Soul Condensing Realm would already qualify one as a Great Cultivator, with a Divine Soul formed. Their capabilities were not comparable to that of an Entry Dao Realm cultivator; moving against the current in such a manner was exceedingly unbelievable.

No one doubted the fairness of the Hidden Dragon List, which had never made a mistake throughout thousands of years.

Upon learning this news, Miao Luan was greatly shocked.

When Chu Zheng struck, she had already fainted and was completely unaware of what had happened.

She thought that those Soul Condensing monks had taken on a bounty from Taixuan and hence did not confront Chu Zheng. She never considered it could be due to Chu Zheng\'s own strength.

Such monstrous talent had already caught the attention of the Immortal Alliance.

Having digested this news, Miao Luan concealed her tracks all the way and quickly returned to the Sect Gate of Tai Xu Holy Land.

The first thing she did after returning to the Sect Gate was to find her mentor and admit her fault.

In the somewhat vacant hall, Miao Luan, dressed back in the vestments of a True Disciple, knelt on the ground, her breathing heavy and distinctly audible.

Sitting cross-legged about two yards in front of her was a figure clad in blue, her posture graceful with a veiled face, making her features unclear, her eyes shimmering with a hint of spiritual light.

The peak of Nine Transformations of Divine Infant, from Tai Xu Holy Land, Yu Ling True Monarch, Zuo Lingzhi.

Miao Luan felt a surge of nervousness, having lost all her magic treasures, which was no trivial matter.

A single high-quality magic treasure could exchange for a country. Even ordinary Divine Infant Cultivators typically had only one such treasure with them.

If not for her exceptional talent and her master\'s favoritism, she would not have been entrusted with such treasure.

"Who was responsible?" Zuo Lingzhi\'s voice was calm, betraying neither joy nor anger.

"Disciple is incompetent. Unable to recognize the assailant, I was knocked unconscious, and upon waking..."

Miao Luan dared not lift her head, fearing that her expression might betray even a hint of abnormality.

"That is indeed strange."

Zuo Lingzhi\'s eyes flickered slightly, "Your person, in Taixuan, is quite valuable. To rob you yet spare your life, is this person friend or foe?"

The cultivators who commit robbery seldom show mercy. Not only was Miao Luan\'s life spared, but even her Yuan Yin remained intact, which was rather peculiar.

"This... Disciple truly does not know."

Miao Luan felt bewildered. Her master\'s demeanor was far different from what she had anticipated; she had braced herself for punishment before arriving.

"Regardless, being spared your life is fortunate. I see that your Divine Soul is unstable, likely from the shock. Here is a bottle of Calm Spirit Pill; take it and heal yourself in seclusion."

Zuo Lingzhi sighed softly, taking out a jade bottle and passing it through the air to Miao Luan.

"This... Master, I am unworthy of this."

Miao Luan was somewhat overwhelmed by such favor. Losing a high-quality magic treasure was indeed a significant error, and not being punished was fortunate enough.

"In recent days, thirteen of our Tai Xu true transmission have perished, so be extra cautious for a while."

Zuo Lingzhi\'s eyes showed a hint of helplessness. Previously, she might have been inclined to blame, but now, simply having her student return safely was a relief.

"Thirteen people..."

Miao Luan\'s heart jolted. Her ordeal was not an isolated case; the other true disciples had not been as fortunate as she.

For a moment, she couldn\'t help but feel somewhat fortunate; at least she was still alive.

"Now, the losses of the Four Great Sacred Lands are significant; they are recalling their true disciples to avoid further calamities."

Zuo Lingzhi shook her head, observing the current situation. In the first round of conflict with Taixuan, the Four Great Sacred Lands were completely defeated.

The true disciples who had fallen from various lands added up to several dozen, not to mention the many elders who had died protecting these disciples.

And that chief disciple from Taixuan Holy Land had been extremely active and was even making significant ranking advances on the Hidden Dragon List.

Thinking this, Zuo Lingzhi casually asked,

"During your time outside, did you hear any news about that Chu Zheng?"

Miao Luan was slightly surprised but kept her voice steady, "Not at all."

"That Chu Zheng has now caught the attention of the Immortal Alliance. Unless something unexpected happens, he should soon be picked by the Alliance, like Zhao Tingxian was before, and go to the Minor Immortal Realm to cultivate."

Zuo Lingzhi\'s gaze turned grave, "This person will indeed be a remarkable individual in the future."

"Does master hold Chu Zheng in such high regard?"

Miao Luan couldn\'t help but stir inwardly.

"Whether I regard him highly is no longer relevant. The bounties from the Four Great Sacred Lands couldn\'t kill him, and now he is only one step away from transforming into a dragon."

Given the talent Chu Zheng had shown, stepping into the Soul Condensing Realm before the start of the Great Tournament of Ten Thousand Sects was a certainty.

Being in the Early Entry Dao Realm, he could already rival Great Cultivators in the Soul Condensing Realm. Once Chu Zheng entered the Soul Condensing Realm, it seemed unlikely anyone besides Shang Zuling could threaten him.

After the bounty was issued, everyone in the Tai Xu Holy Land believed Chu Zheng wouldn\'t survive. Many Inner Sect Disciples even thought they could easily take Chu Zheng\'s life.

Now, such talk was no longer heard.

In just a few months, the gap had become unbelievably wide. Chu Zheng\'s growth rate was terrifying, truly extraordinary.

Zuo Lingzhi remained silent for a long time, and the hall fell into quiet.

After a while, Miao Luan quietly looked up at her mentor, who was lost in thought, and bowed deeply.
