CHAPTER 420: HUMBLE INNER SECT DISCIPLE AND NOBLE OUTER SECT DISCIPLE

Ma Liang looked at Wan Lin's puzzled face and felt a deep sense of emotion.

Once upon a time, Wan Lin was a woman who could compete with me, Ma Liang, for the position of Senior Brother Xinghe's top confidant.

I even worried that in the future, Wan Lin might contend with me for the position of Great Elder.

But today, seeing Wan Lin so confused, Ma Liang knew... Wan Lin no longer had the qualifications to be his rival.

Outer sect disciple Ma Liang solemnly began to educate inner sect core disciple Wan Lin.

Ma Liang stated, "Wan Lin, your current mindset is very dangerous.

You're solely focused on cultivation, completely forgetting your original intention.

What does cultivation matter compared to following in Senior Brother Xinghe's footsteps and understanding his decisions?

Back in the day, you, Wan Lin, could stand on the same stage as me, Ma Liang.

But look at you now... you're just a humble inner sect core disciple, while I, Ma Liang, have become the only permanent outer sect disciple of the Grand Sky Sect.

Junior Sister Wan Lin, how can a humble inner sect disciple like you compare to a noble outer sect disciple like me?

The gap between you and me, your Senior Brother Ma Liang, is growing wider, do you know that?

Cultivation is important... but compared to assisting Senior Brother Xinghe, cultivation can be completely abandoned.

When have I, Ma Liang, ever focused on cultivation?

But ask yourself honestly, not even ten of you, Wan Lin, could be my match.

How did I, Ma Liang, get to where I am today?

Isn't it because I assisted Senior Brother Xinghe?

Do you think that by retreating and learning the Enchantment Technique, you've made progress?

Your cultivation level has improved, but your mindset has regressed!

So you're in great danger now... you're about to lose the qualification to be Senior Brother Xinghe's confidant, do you know that?"

After listening to Senior Brother Ma Liang's words, Wan Lin's face turned pale.

Senior Brother Ma Liang wasn't wrong... she had been deluded!

She had been solely focused on cultivating diligently, retreating to cultivate, and coming out to better assist Senior Brother Xinghe.

But look at Senior Brother Ma Liang, he's already become the only permanent outer sect disciple of the Grand Sky Sect... while she, Wan Lin, is just a humble core disciple.

Is being a core disciple that impressive?

How many core disciples does our Grand Sky Sect have?

But a unique outer sect disciple like Senior Brother Ma Liang is one of a kind.

Look at how Senior Brother Ma Liang reprimands those core disciples, which of them dares to say a word back?

Each one hangs their head, not daring to speak...

But I, Wan Lin, used to go to the Fan Inn with Senior Brother Ma Liang to see the Courtesan Queen and even fight together.

But now?

I, Wan Lin, am just a humble inner sect core disciple. I can't even follow in Senior Brother Xinghe's footsteps, let alone catch a glimpse of his back. ꭆΑNОВËȘ

I have indeed forgotten my original intention, just as Senior Brother Ma Liang said...

Wan Lin sincerely expressed her gratitude on the spot, "Thank you, Senior Brother Ma Liang, for your guidance. I, Wan Lin, was wrong... I must not waste time on reckless cultivation in the future. Please, Senior Brother Ma Liang, for the sake of us having visited the Fan Inn together to see the Courtesan Queen, guide me, Wan Lin, a little."

"I, Wan Lin, am dull-witted. I definitely have no chance for the position of Senior Brother Xinghe's top confidant, but I still want to compete for the second confidant position."

Regarding Junior Sister Wan Lin's sudden declaration to become Senior Brother Xinghe's second confidant, Ma Liang expressed his approval.

"Wan Lin, although you fell behind for a while, you were, after all, one of the earliest followers of Senior Brother Xinghe. With my guidance, you still have a promising future.

As long as you, Junior Sister Wan Lin, don't let your mindset slip, there will be more solutions than difficulties in assisting Senior Brother Xinghe!"

As for the issue Wan Lin mentioned about Hu Wenhai, Ma Liang smiled slightly and gave Wan Lin an answer on the spot.

"Senior Brother Xinghe did say not to let the Great Sage teach Hu Wenhai the Talisman, but he didn't say not to let the Great Sage teach you, Wan Lin... You learn from the Great Sage and then teach Junior Brother Hu Wenhai... doesn't that solve the problem?"

Wan Lin: "!!!"

No wonder he's Senior Brother Ma Liang, Wan Lin was stunned. Yes... she had been completely confused, only thinking about how to get the Great Sage to teach Hu Wenhai.

But with Senior Brother Xinghe's instructions, even if you tortured the Great Sage for a hundred years, he would only get more excited and never teach a thing.

But if she learned it herself, given the Great Sage's character, he would definitely share everything he knew.

After learning, she could then teach Junior Brother Hu Wenhai, wouldn't that be the same?

But the same question arose, Wan Lin was more puzzled about why Senior Brother Xinghe restricted the Great Sage from directly teaching Hu Wenhai.

To this question, Ma Liang smiled slightly and explained again.

"Junior Sister Wan Lin... tell me, what's Hu Wenhai's greatest strength?"

"Talisman?" Wan Lin thought for a moment, shook her head, and then said, "Speed!"

"Exactly!" Ma Liang nodded and continued, "Hu Wenhai was personally recruited by Senior Brother Xinghe. Since Hu Wenhai joined our Grand Sky Sect, everyone has seen that Hu Wenhai's talent in Talisman isn't particularly strong.

But Hu Wenhai's speed is terrifying. Senior Brother Xinghe is someone who teaches according to one's abilities. Think about it, if Hu Wenhai had learned the ancient Tongtian Talisman from the Great Sage as soon as he joined our Grand Sky Sect, would he focus on mastering the Tongtian Talisman or continue honing his speed like now?"

Wan Lin agreed that he would definitely learn the ancient Tongtian Talisman. It's an ancient secret technique, and no Talisman master could resist its allure.

Ma Liang nodded, indicating that Junior Sister Wan Lin was absolutely right. If Hu Wenhai had directly learned the ancient Tongtian Talisman, he might have become a Talisman expert in a short time, but he would have abandoned his greatest advantage, which is speed.

Can't we find a Talisman prodigy in our Grand Sky Sect with the ancient Tongtian Talisman? With the ancient Tongtian Talisman, can't we just make anyone a Talisman expert?

But is Senior Brother Xinghe looking for just a Talisman expert?

Senior Brother Xinghe wants the King of Talismans!

An invincible King of Talismans!

Senior Brother Xinghe knows that Hu Wenhai has made no progress in learning other Talismans, so he can only crazily improve his speed. As his speed continues to increase, his speed in making Talismans can reach an astonishing level.

When Hu Wenhai's speed reaches its peak, and then he learns the ancient Tongtian Talisman, imagine, is such a Hu Wenhai more terrifying, or is a Hu Wenhai who directly learns the ancient Tongtian Talisman more terrifying?

So Senior Brother Xinghe is never someone who only looks at immediate benefits. Senior Brother Xinghe sees the whole picture!"

Wan Lin was shocked after hearing this!

She was shallow... too shallow...

A fat Hu Wenhai who learns the ancient Tongtian Talisman normally and a Thunder Hand who first masters speed to the extreme and then learns the ancient Tongtian Talisman... these are not on the same level at all!

She had thought Senior Brother Xinghe was blocking Hu Wenhai's chance to learn Talismans, but now it seems that's not the case at all. Senior Brother Xinghe intends for Hu Wenhai to reach his full potential before learning.

At this moment, Wan Lin looked at Ma Liang with admiration and a hint of sadness.

Senior Brother Ma Liang was right... she had fallen... she now needed Senior Brother Ma Liang's thorough guidance to understand things...

I, Wan Lin, am not worthy of assisting Senior Brother Xinghe now...

What's the use of learning this Enchantment Technique, of working so hard!

Seeing the dejected Wan Lin, Ma Liang also offered comfort: "Wan Lin... although learning the Enchantment Technique caused your mindset to slip, you realized it in time, so it's not too late.

If you can really use the Enchantment Technique to allow everyone in our Grand Sky Sect to control demonic beasts, you still have a bit of value.

You can still be considered as assisting Senior Brother Xinghe.

But you have a long way to go in the future... so you must strive to improve!"

Wan Lin thanked Senior Brother Ma Liang for his guidance and then hurried off to the Dark Moon Palace.

As expected, when Wan Lin expressed her desire to learn the Tongtian Talisman from the Great Sage, the Great Sage agreed without hesitation.

After all, the Saint instructed not to teach Hu Wenhai Talisman knowledge, but didn't prohibit teaching others.

Wan Lin is such a diligent child, there's no reason not to teach her.

Thus, Wan Lin immersed herself in the Dark Moon Palace, diligently learning the ancient Tongtian Talisman from the Great Sage.

Although Wan Lin had no talent in Talismans, she was quick-witted...

Great Sage, you teach, I'll understand the theory, then turn around and teach Junior Brother Hu Wenhai. Of course, to not disrupt Senior Brother Xinghe's plan, Wan Lin knew she couldn't teach Hu Wenhai all the ancient Tongtian Talisman at once.

She started with the Mirror Talisman... then slowly waited for Junior Brother Hu Wenhai to improve his speed while gradually teaching him the ancient Tongtian Talisman...

This way, she could continually bring new surprises to Senior Brother Xinghe!

These past few days, Chu Xinghe had been in the Dark Moon Palace learning poison techniques with Ji Changfeng, and he was almost overwhelmed...

But you have to admit, Ji Changfeng's poison techniques are truly awesome, and the Poison Saint's inheritance is no less than the Medicine Saint's inheritance.

However, trying to combine medicine and poison to comprehend voodoo is indeed quite challenging.

After all, voodoo has been lost for too long, and now medicine and poison are separate.

It's not easy to merge them.

But although the learning was painful, watching everyone in the Dark Moon Palace consume resources like crazy, Chu Xinghe was also happy.

Especially Junior Sister Wan Lin...

A while ago, Junior Sister Wan Lin's retreat for learning scared him... especially when he learned that Junior Sister Wan Lin had comprehended the Enchantment Technique, Chu Xinghe was even more frightened.

No way... Junior Sister Wan Lin wouldn't continue to retreat, would she?

She wouldn't comprehend something new, would she?

Recently, Chu Xinghe noticed that Wan Lin had no intention of retreating at all, wandering around the Dark Moon Palace every day, highlighting a lack of seriousness, with no intention of learning the Enchantment Technique at all.

Seeing Junior Sister Wan Lin so unmotivated, Chu Xinghe was amused!

Junior Sister Wan Lin... please continue to maintain your current state, your decadent appearance makes Senior Brother Xinghe extremely satisfied...
