“It’s the peak master’s order. Except for Shangguan Wanrong, other people can’t enter without being summoned.” The two Nascent Soul cultivators stopped Duan Mubai who wished to enter the place with her.
Hearing this, Shangguan Wanrong stopped and looked back.
Duan Mubai frowned. “What’s the reason? Junior Sister can go in, why can’t I? Go and announce my arrival. I have a business to see Master. ”
“We are only responsible for carrying out the peak master’s orders. You can wait here, but you can’t go in.” The two Nascent Soul cultivators replied with a wooden expression, still refusing him to pass.
Seeing this, Shangguan Wanrong smiled. “Senior Brother, it doesn’t matter. I’ll come out after seeing Master. You can go back first.” With that, she nodded her head toward him and then stepped inside.
The moment she turned around, the smile on her face gradually faded away and her face seemed thoughtful.
Duan Mubai pulled a long face. Facing the two powerful Nascent Soul guards, he had no way to force his way in. He could only wait outside.
On the other side of the peak, after reaching the bamboo house, Shangguan Wanrong stopped outside. While still hesitating, she heard her Master’s voice coming from inside.
“Now that you’re here, why don’t you come in?”
Master Third Sun’s aged and muffled voice was heard from inside the bamboo house and stopped Shangguan Wanrong’s wandering thought. She adjusted her mind and then pushed the door and walked in.
“Master.”
She looked at the sitting figure and saluted respectfully. Then, she took out the three spirit herbs from the space. “Disciple has completed what Master assigned. There are three spirit herbs here. Please have a look.”
Master Third Sun turned to look at her with an imposing expression on his withered face. With a hand stroking his beard, he examined the three spirit herbs on the table.
“Mm. The roots are intact and well-preserved. Very good.”
He nodded with satisfaction. After seeing the three spirit herbs on the table, his tense expression gradually relaxed. His eyes were fixed on Shangguan Wanrong and asked, “Have you made a breakthrough in your strength? You shouldn’t stay in the Golden Core period for so long. Did you not take the medicinal pills I gave you to help improve your strength? ”
“Disciple hasn’t had the time to take them before entering the mystic realm.” She lowered her gaze.
“Then, put aside all the things at hand and advance your strength first. I have an extremely important matter to entrust you once you become a Nascent Soul cultivator. He put away the spirit herbs and then took out a bottle of medicinal pills: “Take this. Take one pill every ten days, so that you can raise your strength to the Nascent Soul stage within three months.”
“Within three months? She was stunned. “Isn’t it too fast? If done this way, I’m afraid the foundation will be unstable and it will be difficult for me to advance in the future. ”
“No need. I have personally refined the medicinal pills for you. It will do no harm to your health. Don’t worry!” He waved his hand and explained, “In addition, you can’t tell your Senior Brothers about this, lest they say that I am partial to you. Remember my words, within three months, you must be promoted to a Nascent Soul cultivator.”
Shangguan Wanrong’s eyes flashed when she heard this command. “But, what if Disciple can’t advance in rank within three months and fail to become a Nascent Soul cultivator?”
Why must she be promoted to Nascent Soul cultivator? What ulterior motive was there? What on earth did he intend to do?
