The faces of the two elders and the handsome youth darkened as they stared at the courtyard gate in silence.
Song Wu turned her head and smiled. "Junior Brother Xu has such a temper. He's eccentric by nature and is always cold to others. Senior Uncles, please don't blame him for being rude."
The handsome youth snorted. "He's just too arrogant and advanced too quickly. He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Song Wu rolled her eyes at him and snorted. "Senior Brother Qu, just relax. Who doesn't know that he has a strange temper? There's no need to stoop to his level!"
"This young fellow is a genius," an elder with white eyebrows and beard muttered. "He's only been in the sect for a short period of time, but he's already reached the seventh layer. I don't think his aptitude is that good, right?"
"Yes, his aptitude was ordinary when he entered the sect." The other elder nodded. "He's inconspicuous among the disciples, but I didn't expect his cultivation to advance so quickly. How rare! How rare! "
"He benefited from three months of wall meditation," Song Wu praised. Song Wu praised, "Junior Apprentice Brother Xu's temperament is unwavering, which is rare in this world. This is a talent that cannot be seen … I have watched his cultivation progress by leaps and bounds with my own eyes, improving day by day, rushing to this stage in one go. He is truly a rare genius."
"No wonder Junior Sister Song favors him so much," Senior Brother Qu snorted.
Song Wu glanced at him. "I just think he's pitiful. He's alone and entered the pavilion at such a young age. He has no companions and doesn't fit in with others. His days are difficult."
"I think he's enjoying himself," Senior Brother Qu snorted. "He can't wait for no one to disturb him."
"It looks like it's true that he doesn't dare to speak to others for fear of offending them." Song Wu nodded. "His temperament is indeed unsuitable for interacting with others. He'll cause misunderstandings the moment he speaks. He's actually kind and pure, but unfortunately, he can't tolerate others."
"Geniuses often have strange temperaments. Let him be," one of the elders said.
Senior Brother Qu hurriedly nodded.
He turned his head and glared at the courtyard gate again before turning to follow the two elders.

Chu Li sat at the stone table, fiddling with the white jade bottle.
This jade bottle was very expensive. It was obvious how extravagant the Pavilion of Prophecy was. The pill inside was the Soaring Pill that could increase one's cultivation.
Now that he had the Soaring Grass, he also had the formula for the Soaring Pill.
The recipe for the Soaring Pill was available in all the major sects. He had obtained it from the Holy Church of Light's most valuable Pill Scripture. In today's era, these extremely precious pill recipes from ancient times were no longer precious. There was a good recipe but no spirit medicine, so the pill recipe was just a piece of paper.
He was already cultivating the other spirit herbs on his island. With the power of the High Duke's Public House, it would be easy for him to obtain these spirit herbs. When the time was right, he would be able to concoct the Ascension Pill and consume a few more pills. By then, his cultivation level would improve by leaps and bounds.
At that time, taking care of Sun Mingyue would be a piece of cake, and he would be able to vent his anger.
Thinking of this, he opened the white jade bottle and threw a flawless white pill into his mouth. Then, he began to cultivate.
The Heavenly Heart Sutra flowed like a torrential river. His thoughts drifted to the Divine Eye Peak as if he was there, experiencing the extreme Yin and coldness. He suddenly disappeared and reappeared in the Yinyang Cave.
At once, his body froze as if the coldness was about to freeze him.
The Heavenly Heart Sutra was still circulating in his body. Pure inner energy gushed out continuously to resist the force of Yinyang Cave. Under such heavy pressure, the Heavenly Heart Sutra was pushed to the eighth level in one go.
Two hours later, he left the Yinyang Cave and returned to his courtyard.
Not long after his return, he was still cultivating to consolidate his cultivation level. The eighth level of the Heavenly Heart Sutra caused an inexplicable change in his essence, spirit, and spirit. It was as if the barrier between him and heaven and earth had disappeared without a trace, becoming one with him. He was heaven and earth, and heaven and earth were him.
When he was immersed in this wonderful feeling, footsteps were heard, followed by a knock on the door.
He reluctantly went to open the door and saw Tan Gu standing outside.
"Senior Brother Tan." Chu Li was surprised.
Tan Gu took a look at the courtyard and smiled. "Let's talk inside."
Chu Li turned around and returned to the courtyard. Tan Gu sat by the stone table unceremoniously and smiled. "Junior Brother Xu, you received the Soaring Pill too, right?"
Chu Li nodded.
"Did you consume it?" Tan Gu asked.
Chu Li suddenly thought of something and shook his head gently. "Not yet."
"Oh –?" Tan Gu let out a sigh of relief and smiled. "It's too much of a waste to consume it rashly. You need to consume it when you're in isolated cultivation to maximize the medicinal effect."
Chu Li shook his head. "I was just about to consume it. I can't care about isolated cultivation anymore. It's better than having it snatched away by someone else."
"That's true." Tan Gu nodded with a smile. He studied him, his smile slowly faded and became solemn.
Chu Li asked, "What are you looking at, Senior Brother Tan?"
"Sigh … I have a small favor to trouble Junior Apprentice Brother Xu." Tan Gu had an awkward expression.
"What is it?" Chu Li asked.
"Senior Brother, I'm at a critical juncture in my cultivation. I'm about to break through to the eighth level. Once I reach the eighth level, it'll be a completely different world." Tan Gu sighed and shook his head. "Unfortunately, I've always been one step away. I can't break through no matter what."
Chu Li nodded.
Tan Gu grinned at Chu Li. "With the help of the Soaring Pill, I'll definitely be able to break through."
Chu Li said, "This time, with the Soaring Pill, Senior Brother Tan can fulfill his wish."
"Sigh …" Tan Gu sighed. "It's not that easy. One Soaring Pill isn't enough. With two Soaring Pills, I'll be able to break through to the eighth level!"
"Two …" Chu Li shook his head. "How can I get so many?"
"I have one. Don't you have one too, Junior Brother Xu?" Tan Gu was full of smiles.
Chu Li frowned and his face darkened. "Senior Brother Tan, are you trying to steal my Soaring Pill?"
He laughed to himself. It was just as he expected.
"It's not nice to say that!" Tan Gu shook his head and raised his finger. "I'm borrowing it! This time, I'm borrowing it from you, Junior Brother Xu. The next time the Soaring Pill is distributed, I'll return it to you. How about that? "
Chu Li shook his head. "The Soaring Pill is distributed once every ten years. I'm at a critical juncture now and I need the Soaring Pill to break through. I'm sorry that I can't lend it to you, Senior Brother Tan!"
"Junior Brother Xu, you're not lending it to me?" Tan Gu's face darkened.
His eyes flashed with a cold glint. His aura was overbearing.
Chu Li slowly shook his head and said slowly but firmly, "I'm not lending it to you."
"Junior Brother Xu, aren't you afraid that I'll take revenge?" Tan Gu said coldly. "After tomorrow, I'll say that Junior Sister Song likes you."
Chu Li laughed. "How can Senior Sister Song like me!"
"I can make everyone believe it." Tan Gu sneered. "There are many people who like Junior Sister Song. They'll definitely see you as a thorn in their side and go against you. You won't be able to do anything and won't be able to focus on your cultivation. Not to mention one Soaring Pill, even two or three would be useless!"
Chu Li frowned and looked at him with disgust. "I didn't expect Senior Brother Tan to be so despicable!"
"Haha, I'm despicable." Tan Gu was proud of himself and looked at him sideways. "Those who offend me don't have a good ending!"
"Senior Brother Tan, aren't you afraid that I'll report this to the Pavilion Leader?" Chu Li scoffed.
Tan Gu smiled. "I'll say that I'm joking with Junior Brother Xu. You took it seriously."
Chu Li shook his head and sighed. "Senior Brother Tan Gu, have you taken the Soaring Pill?"
"Of course not." Tan Gu shook his head. "I can only break through to the eighth level by taking two pills together."
Chu Li slowly nodded. "That's good. Then I'll discuss something with Senior Brother Tan Gu."
"What is it?" Tan Gu frowned.
Junior Brother Xu's reaction was not right. Based on his understanding of Junior Brother Xu, he should be screaming in anger when he heard what Tan Gu said. However, he was so calm. This made Tan Gu feel that something was not right. Things had developed out of his control.
