Looking calmly at Yin Liuhua, Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "Hope has to be fought for by oneself. Fortune favours those who are prepared."
Yin Liuhua pressed her lips together, lowering her head as she answered, "Yes, senior apprentice-brother Yan. I understand."
She felt a little uneasy, feeling that Yan Zhaoge might have heard their conversation earlier. She could not help but feel vexed at this.
"I wonder if senior apprentice-sister Feng sensed senior apprentice-brother Yan just now by the side …" Yin Liuhua's gaze dimmed slightly.
Having returned from the East Sea and entered Broad Creed Mountain, living together with her fellow disciples, she had truly felt how much weight this youth before her carried.
It was indisputable that he was the most outstanding leading figure of Broad Creed Mountain's younger generation of the six great Sacred Grounds. He could even be said to be the current leader of his generation in the entire Eight Extremities World.
There was already completely no one who viewed him as a junior disciple of the past.
Outside the clan, when Yan Zhaoge went to other Sacred Grounds, the people he received were at least bigwigs of their clans, longtime Elders of the clan.
His title had been first suggested by the oldest and most senior Martial Saint expert of the current world, the Painting Saint Old Man Mo.
Currently, in the eyes of the higher echelon experts of the other Sacred Grounds, the most important figure of Broad Creed Mountain, other than Yuan Zhengfeng and Yan Di, was not Fang Zhun of the Broad Creed Three Heroes alongside Yan Di, nor was it the two Grand Elders of the same generation as Yuan Zhengfeng, but Yan Zhaoge who was only in his twenties!
Within the clan, Yan Zhaoge had long since become a legendary figure in the hearts of the younger generation disciples of Broad Creed Mountain who had entered the clan at the same time as Yin Liuhua.
While the difference in age was still not very great, they were already on completely different levels.
Other than a few extremely competitive people who still harbored thoughts of chasing after him, most people's impression of this senior apprentice-brother Yan had long since become that of a follower.
While they still addressed him as' senior apprentice-brother ', Yin Liuhua knew that many of her fellow disciples, herself included, were even more nervous when facing this senior apprentice-brother Yan than when facing many longtime Elders of the clan.
And in truth, due to his youth, his current cultivation base was still lower than that of many seniors of the clan.
However, in terms of authority, Yan Zhaoge was definitely one of the top few in the entire Broad Creed Mountain.
All this was not because Yan Zhaoge had a father called Yan Di, the current Chief of Broad Creed Mountain, the number one Martial Grandmaster of the Eight Extremities World.
It was merely because he was Yan Zhaoge.
As a Maiden of Extreme Yin, Yin Liuhua felt this exceptionally clearly.
On the matter of the Maiden of Extreme Yin, the weight of this young man's words was even greater than that of his own master, Fu Enshu.
This youth in his twenties was the true leader of Broad Creed Mountain's scheme for the Maiden of Extreme Yin and the Extreme Yin Bout.
Looking at Yin Liuhua, Yan Zhaoge said calmly, "Go cultivate seriously. I was just strolling around today, casually coming over to take a look. After senior apprentice-aunt Fu has finished dealing with the matters on hand, she should be coming to check on your and junior apprentice-sister Feng's progress."
Yin Liuhua nodded, "Yes, senior apprentice-brother Yan. I will definitely cultivate seriously."
Her expression was somewhat gloomy. "It's just that, in front of Senior Sister Feng, I always feel a little lacking in confidence. Senior Sister is so outstanding."
"I've also seen the images of the previous Extreme Yin Bouts. Those Maidens of Extreme Yin were all so outstanding previously, yet senior apprentice-sister Feng was able to surpass them in such a short period of time."
Glancing at her, Yan Zhaoge said slowly, "That is what junior apprentice-sister Feng deserves. The effort and hardships she has put in also far surpass that of ordinary people."
"I won't deny that the clan and I have played some role, but it was mostly junior apprentice-sister Feng herself who did it."
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "The homework that you have to complete every day is done in accordance with junior apprentice-sister Feng's intensity. How do you feel?"
Yin Liuhua's face was a little pale, "Very difficult …"
Yan Zhaoge said, "There are few shortcuts in this world. Even if there are, they are usually accompanied by a price or risk."
"Currently, there are two things that the clan has provided that junior apprentice-sister Feng has and you do not. One is the Qilin Spring Baptism, the other is a secret technique …"
Hearing his words, Yin Liuhua's gaze flickered slightly.
After learning of the Qilin Spring Baptism, she had also yearned for it. Sadly, her chances were limited, and before she had entered the clan, her final chance had already been given to Ying Longtu.
This inevitably caused Yin Liuhua to feel dejected. If she had entered the clan a little earlier, due to the uniqueness of being a Maiden of Extreme Yin, there might still have been some suspense.
However, hearing the latter half of Yan Zhaoge's words, Yin Liuhua's gaze lit up slightly once more.
Yan Zhaoge continued, "… However, this secret technique requires one to bear immense pain. Not many can bear it."
Yin Liuhua pressed her lips together, "Senior apprentice-brother Yan, I'm willing to give it a try."
Glancing at her, Yan Zhaoge's expression was as per usual as he nodded slightly, "After you have entered the Martial Scholar realm, if you want to give it a try, you can. Your current Body Refinement cultivation base is too weak."
Yin Liuhua didn't know whether it was regret or relief arising within her heart.
However, she still nodded forcefully on the surface, "I will definitely cultivate diligently, striving to refine qi into aura-qi as soon as possible."
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, "Work hard then."
Saying thus, he turned and left.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge's departing figure, Yin Liuhua's gaze flickered slightly, "I wonder what kind of girl he likes? Is it like Feng Yunsheng, or like the rumours say, like that girl surnamed Lin? "
Feeling Yin Liuhua's gaze on him from behind, Yan Zhaoge paid it no mind.
However, after his personal observations today, Yan Zhaoge felt that if there were no major changes, it would be hard for the hopes of some people in the clan who held on to the so-called 'grooming a Maiden of Extreme Yin that truly belongs to us' to come true.
Also, it would depend on whether Fu Enshu's wish of grooming a backup like Yun Xiuqing had with Meng Wan, to assist Feng Yunsheng would come true.
With her personally watching over Fu Enshu's return to the Mountain this time, the situation should be a little more optimistic.
As Yan Zhaoge thought about this, he returned to the side of the waterfall. He saw that Feng Yunsheng was still holding her sabre horizontally, standing unmoving where she was, stable as a boulder.
Beside her, Ying Longtu was seated in the meditative position.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge arrive, Feng Yunsheng smiled slightly, while Ying Longtu grinned.
Yan Zhaoge walked before Ying Longtu, smiling as he asked, "What martial arts has Han Long 'er learnt now?"
Ying Longtu answered on his fingers, "I've cultivated in Master's Vajra Body, the Wind Fire Calamities, and learnt the Chaotic Elements Uniting Sabre from Chief. Chief said that if I want to learn from now on, I should learn the Great Heaven Earth Sword or the Big Dipper Sword."
Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly, "So many?"
Having reached the level of the Eight Extreme Arts, other than Yan Zhaoge who could freely enter and leave the Martial Repository, the other core, direct disciples would generally only be taught one or two supreme martial arts by their Masters.
If they wanted to learn other martial arts, they would only be able to enter the Martial Repository after having performed a great merit and obtained a reward, choosing a martial art that they liked.
This was not being stingy or restricting them, but more to motivate their disciples to work hard, at the same time also preventing them from biting off more than they could chew. (To be continued.)
