Chapter 69: Other than Cultivating at lightning speed, there are no other strengths.

When the master and disciple arrived at the top floor, Saint Xuan Ye was still in the bedroom. The attendant led them into the dining room.
Since Saint Xuan Ye was not here, Lin Jiansheng naturally would not sit down to eat.
The master and disciple stood by the French window and sized up the scenery of the city outside the Purifying Spirit Academy. Yu Huang asked Lin Jiansheng, “Mentor, which direction is the Sheng family?”
“The Sheng Clan was originally a cultivation clan. They only moved into Jingdu 30 years ago. The place where the Sheng Clan currently resides is called Yufu City, an independent s.p.a.ce developed by the combined efforts of three Prime Master Beast Tamers. Yufu City and the Divine Realm Academy are praised to be the safest place in the Holy Spirit Continent. Without recommendation, outsiders would not have been able to enter Yufu City at all.”
On the Holy Spirit Continent, there were currently only three Prime Master powerhouses. The Sheng Clan was able to hire three big shots to help open up a s.p.a.ce with the strength of a clan. Their wealth and power were truly astonishing.
Lin Jiansheng pointed to the east. There were no high-rise buildings in that area. As far as the eye could see, it was a low and stern ancient building. Lin Jiansheng told Yu Huang, “That is the territory of the Divine Moon Empire’s royal family.”
Yu Huang discovered that there was an octagonal tower standing tall in the Divine Moon Empire’s royal family. It was the tallest building in the royal family, and it did not lose out to the headquarters of the Purifying Spirit Academy.
She asked, “What is that tower?”
Lin Jiansheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the tower. His gaze could not help but become solemn as he said, “That’s the Divination Tower. The Grand State Master lives there.”
Yu Huang was a Level 2 Purifying Spirit Master now. As she stood on high ground, she could clearly see the situation on the tower. Yu Huang stared at the tower for a moment and suddenly noticed a man standing under the roof of the tower.
He was wearing a silver-white long-sleeved robe and a tall hat on his head. He had a handsome face and lake blue eyes. He looked at the distant scenery, and as if he had sensed Yu Huang’s gaze, the man suddenly turned his head to look at her.
Before Yu Huang could react, Lin Jiansheng covered her eyes. “Staring directly at the Grand State Master is disrespectful!”
Yu Huang removed Lin Jiansheng’s hand and looked at the tower. However, there was no one there. “Mentor, was that person a Grand State Master?”
Lin Jiansheng acknowledged it.
Yu Huang pinched her thigh and muttered softly, “The Grand State Master is so handsome.”
Lin Jiansheng glared at her and warned her, “The previous person who praised the Grand State Master’s beauty has already been thrown into the Snake Cavern. Do you also want to be thrown into the Snake Cavern?”
Yu Huang hurriedly shut her mouth.
Why, couldn’t she praise people for being handsome?
“I heard that the Grand State Master has been searching for a successor worldwide in recent years. I wonder which lucky child will be chosen by him.”
Yu Huang immediately said, “I have a mentor. In short, it won’t be me.”
“Of course.”
The mentor and disciple chatted for a while before they heard the attendant outside shout respectfully, “Good morning, Saint Xuan Ye!”
Yu Huang hurriedly turned her head to look out the door.
A tall man wearing a dark purple Purifying Spirit Master robe walked in slowly from the end of the corridor.
He had long white hair, but his face was very young. He appeared to be in his twenties.
Saint Xuan Ye was handsome. His eyebrows were raised and his eyes were narrow, but his gaze was cold and disdainful.
This person looked like a big shot.
The moment Xuanye appeared, Yu Huang sensed a slight fluctuation in the energy body in the Spiritual Abode. She warned him silently, “Saint Xuan Ye is a Level 9 Purifying Spirit Master. His sensitivity to the soul is far stronger than ordinary people. Aren’t you afraid that he will discover your existence? Just keep on causing trouble!”
Upon hearing Yu Huang’s warning, the black fog instantly quieted down.
Xuan Ye walked closer with his head held high and stopped in front of Lin Jiansheng. “Good morning, Mr. Lin.”
Lin Jiansheng bowed to Xuan Ye and greeted him respectfully. “Saint Xuan Ye, sorry to disturb you.”
Xuan Ye looked at the masked girl behind Lin Jiansheng and said, “I heard that Venerable Lin has recently accepted a personal disciple. Is this your beloved disciple?”
Lin Jiansheng could not hide the smile on his face. “Yes, her name is Yu Huang. She is a beginner-level Purifying Spirit Master.”
After introducing Yu Huang’s ident.i.ty, Lin Jiansheng said to Yu Huang, “Feng, quick, greet Saint Xuan Ye.”

Yu Huang walked out from behind Lin Jiansheng and bent her knees. She bowed respectfully to Xuan Ye before lowering her eyes to greet him. “Greetings, Saint Xuan Ye.”
Last night, Xuanye had heard the guard report Yu Huang’s situation and knew that Lin Jiansheng’s personal disciple was a girl with a disfigured appearance.
Seeing that Yu Huang was wearing a mask, Xuan Ye didn’t ask further. However, seeing that Yu Huang was really young, he couldn’t help but lament. “She’s already a Level 2 Purifying Spirit Master at such a young age. Mr. Lin has found a good disciple this time. Quick, get up and let me take a look.”
Saint Xuan Ye’s voice was filled with joy, as if he was really happy for Lin Jiansheng.
Yu Huang stood up straight and allowed Xuan Ye to size her up.
“How old is the young lady?”
Lin Jiansheng replied on Yu Huang’s behalf, “She’s still young and just turned 18. She can’t compare to Saint Xuan Ye’s beloved disciples.” Although he said that she couldn’t compare, his expression was very smug.
Unlike Lin Jiansheng, Saint Xuan Ye had many disciples under his name. Just his personal disciples numbered five. These five personal disciples were all good seedlings who cultivated in the Purifying Spirit Art. Saint Xuan Ye had often flaunted his smart and talented disciples in front of other Purifying Spirit Masters in the past.
At that time, Lin Jiansheng had no disciples. Although he was unconvinced, he could only listen.
However, things were different now. Lin Jiansheng had a disciple now. At such a young age, she was already a Level 2 Purifying Spirit Master at the age of 18!
Such talent was not something Xuan Ye’s genius disciples could compare with!
Thus, when he introduced Yu Huang’s age, Lin Jiansheng subconsciously straightened his back and could not hide the smugness on his face.
As expected, when Xuan Ye heard the unexpected number 18, the smile on his face faded a little. “Only 18?”
Xuanye shook his head and sighed. “Such talent is really admirable. Mr. Lin, you’ve accepted a good disciple!”
Lin Jiansheng hurriedly waved his hand and said modestly, “No, no. This girl is very stupid. Other than her cultivation speed, she doesn’t have any other strengths. She can’t compare to Saint Xuan Ye’s disciples. Saint Xuan Ye’s disciples are all cultivation geniuses. They are the real good disciples!”
Upon hearing Lin Jiansheng’s insincere compliment, the smile on Xuan Ye’s face stiffened.
He took out a jade box from his storage device and said to Yu Huang, “I’m relieved that the Divine Moon Empire has a young and outstanding Purifying Spirit Master like you. This is the first time we’ve met, so I’ll give you a gift.”
As a core member of the Purifying Spirit Alliance, Lin Jiansheng had officially brought his beloved disciple to pay his respects to Saint Xuan Ye. Naturally, Xuan Ye could not be empty-handed.
Many years ago, when Saint Xuan Ye’s five disciples met Lin Jiansheng, Lin Jiansheng had also obediently given them a greeting gift.
