Shen Yuan Ring

Chapter 230 One Year Later

After one month.

Cheng Ke'er muttered to herself, looking unhappy in the courtyard.

"That stinky Dao Yi didn't play with me for long before going into seclusion. Crescent Moon has also fallen into a deep sleep and hasn't woken up yet. Now I'm all alone again. It's so boring."

"Who dared to provoke my precious disciple? Tell your master, and I'll deal with him right now!"

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

"Oh dear, Master, why did you suddenly come back? Didn't you say you'd be gone for three months? How come you're back in just two months!"

Cheng Ke'er rushed out of the courtyard and arrived at the door.

"I was worried you'd get bullied, so I finished the task a month early. And I also wanted to give you a surprise!!"

"Master, you are the best!"

"You still have such a sweet tongue! Tell me, which bastard made my precious disciple angry? I'll have his master teach him a lesson to get revenge for you."

"No way! Who would dare bully me now? They'd be avoiding me like the plague!"

"Then why are you sulking here all by yourself?"

"It's just that Dao Yi and his companions, Yueya and Bi, are either in seclusion or asleep. I was too bored by myself, so I just made a little rant."

"Dao Yi? Yueya? Who are they?" Cheng Ke'er's master was also full of questions.

Then Cheng Ke'er recounted how they met, and also told them about the major events that had occurred in Dancheng.

"So it turns out he really does have some skills and good luck!"

You have to admit, people who are lucky, and those who are close to them, will have increasingly better luck; while those who have hurt them will have increasingly worse luck!

Cheng Ke'er asked in surprise, "Master, you mean Dao Yi is this kind of person?"

"That's right! You have to know that he came to such a prosperous place as Zhongzhou from a remote place at such a young age. And he still survived after provoking two powerful experts."

Doesn't this explain the problem?

Even though the Thousand-Faced Gentleman has been famous for a long time, he has never felt so frustrated.

This time, his cultivation has been sealed, and he may face being surrounded and hunted down by many people.

Didn't all these misfortunes happen to him after he kidnapped your friend Daoyi?

"Master, I haven't noticed any difference in my luck, nor have I gained any particular benefit. So, it's all just a coincidence!"

Seeing that Cheng Ke'er didn't believe him, he didn't say anything more.

Some things can only be brought good fortune by letting things take their natural course; forcing them will only backfire and lead to loss!

Cheng Ke'er's master is named Li Zi, an honorary elder of the Pill Hall.

Although Li Zi has no divination abilities, he has been in the martial arts world for over a thousand years and has seen all kinds of people and things!

That's why he didn't point it out; his purpose was to prevent Cheng Ke'er from chasing after such an ethereal thing as luck!

“By the way, disciple, you said they went into seclusion, why don’t you go into seclusion with them? Instead, you’re doing nothing all day.”

No, you are my personal disciple. If you are too bad, it would be too embarrassing for me to lose face.

Starting tomorrow, you will also begin your secluded cultivation. You will emerge from seclusion once you break through to the Divine Realm.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ke'er's face immediately turned ugly.

"Master, you must be joking with me. I'm already at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. There's no point in going into seclusion now. I'm just honing my skills!"

Her master's face hardened, and he said solemnly, "I'm doing this for your own good!"

"What do you mean 'for my own good'? It's all for your own pride! I'm ignoring you!"

"Ke'er! Is the Dao Yi you mentioned in seclusion?"

"Yes, it's been several days already. I don't know when we'll be out of quarantine."

"How does his cultivation level compare to yours? Is it lower or higher?"

"Of course I won't go, my disciple. He's only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, while I'm already at the peak!" Cheng Ke'er said proudly, like a canary dancing in a cage.

"Look at you, when others come out of seclusion, they're already in the late stage, just one step away from catching up with you. Think about it, he's in the mid-stage, you're at the peak; he's in the late stage, you're still at the peak; he's at the peak, you're still at the peak!"

"Master, please stop talking, I feel even worse now!"

However, Cheng Ke'er did not notice the faint smile on her master's lips, because she had already been fooled by her master!

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Seeing that Cheng Ke'er had taken the bait, Li Zi said again, "Think about it, if you go into seclusion to cultivate, he will break through to the late stage, while you will break through to the Divine Realm!"

Then, think back to the scene of your meeting!

As Cheng Ke'er thought about it, she started giggling to herself!

Li Zi knew that he had once again fooled his apprentice!

He knew how talented his apprentice was, but unfortunately, Cheng Ke'er was too lazy.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have to work so "hard"!

Time flies!

Time flies.

Ji Daoyi has been in Zhongzhou for a year now.

Throughout the year, Ji Daoyi had not seen his master, Dan Chenzi.

Although he was not fully accepted as a disciple, his two junior brothers and sisters had great faith in him!

It's possible that it was because of Ji Daoyi that they broke through to the Divine Realm, or it's possible that they were impressed by Ji Daoyi's strength!

Ji Daoyi has never left Dancheng; he spends his days either cultivating or refining pills!

As for Cheng Ke'er, after being misled by her master Li Zi, she began to cultivate in seclusion.

He secluded himself for eleven months and even made a bold statement that he would not leave until he broke through to the Divine Realm!

Li Zi wholeheartedly supported his apprentice's lofty ambitions!

They also prepared ample cultivation resources for her.

As Cheng Ke'er's cultivation breakthrough neared its end, Li Zi, standing outside her secluded cultivation room, couldn't feel happy at all!

"My disciple! I was wrong. I shouldn't have compared you to that freak, Ji Daoyi!!"

"No, if Ke'er finds out after she comes out of seclusion, she'll pluck all my beards out. I'll have to go into hiding for a few months!"

Just as Li Zi was thinking about how to deal with Cheng Ke'er's storm of words, a voice came from behind him that made his body instinctively shudder.

"Master, who are you trying to hide from?"

"Ah, no...no one, I just have to go on a long trip, it might take a while. I thought I wouldn't be able to wait for you to come out of seclusion, but I didn't expect you to come out of seclusion today."

"I thought it was something serious! You've been there before, and I'm not a child anymore. Besides, I've already broken through to a higher level, you see..."

Cheng Ke'er happily released her meager spiritual power!

"I knew my disciple would succeed in breaking through. So here you are, I've prepared all the gifts for your breakthrough. Take your time to look at them later. Master is leaving now!"

After Li Zi finished speaking, he vanished in a flash before Cheng Ke'er's eyes.
