Dual Cultivation: Ying Yang is way to Chaos Chapter 500: Suitor

Cui Shuyin also came out of her stupor and looked toward the old man before bowing, "How is your technique coming along, Supreme Elder Shi?"

"I am still stuck at a major hurdle, but I have a feeling that soon I will be able to cross it..." The old man replied calmly, "Who is this?"

"Lin Feng, new recruit to the Sword Pavilion..." Cui Shuyin introduced Lin Feng, and Lin Feng bowed slightly in respect.

The Supreme Elder nodded, "It’s been a while since you personally brought someone here, am I looking at another talent?"

"He certainly has good talent in alchemy, so you are not wrong..." Cui Shuyin nodded with a smile.

The old man was surprised slightly, "Then how come he joined the Sword Pavilion..." He didn’t doubt what level of talent Lin Feng had, he trusted Cui Shuyin’s judgment.

"It’s a long story, Feng’er didn’t want to even join the Alchemy Hall, so he wasn’t even interested in our Alchemy Pavilion..." Cui Shuyin explained briefly.

"I see..." The old man looked at Lin Feng calmly before he moved toward the reception.

"Feng’er, give me your token..." Cui Shuyin extended her hand toward Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded and passed her his Sword Pavilion token.

Cui Shuyin placed the Cultivation Technique with his token in front of the Supreme Elder.

The Supreme Elder took the cultivation technique and looked at it, "Immortal Flame Refinement Art, the one we stole from Alchemy Hall..."

Cui Shuyin chuckled, "Stole wouldn’t be the right term, their disciple was foolish enough to carry it with him."

"Being prideful simply because others respect you for your value rather than your strength is a sin..." The Supreme Elder noted Lin Feng’s information before returning the cultivation technique to Cui Shuyin.

"True..." Cui Shuyin nodded and took the scripture and token before passing both of them to Lin Feng.

"Young man, you are an alchemist as well, so let me offer you some sincere advice. Don’t let pride influence your decisions. There are hidden truths in this Heavenly Realm. The humbler you are, the longer you will live." The Supreme Elder spoke calmly, but his words carried profound meaning.

Lin Feng nodded slightly. He had understood that principle long ago, although his perspective was somewhat different. To him, humility stemmed from goodwill, something he rarely extended toward strangers. In his opinion, being quiet was better than being humble.

"Elder Cui, how is preparation for this year going?"

"I don’t know about others, but I am almost done with it..." Cui Shuyin sighed, she even felt like asking for some treasures from him to give as rewards to the winners.

"Good, I might come to see the Sword Pavilion’s competition, it’s been a while since I saw Sun Xiurong, I am curious to know how far she has advanced in her sword path."

Cui Shuyin smiled slightly and bowed, "We will not disturb you anymore..."

"Alright then..." The Supreme Elder nodded and went back toward the stairs.

Cui Shuyin and Lin Feng came out of the pavilion before moving toward the Sword Pavilion.

"That was Supreme Elder Shi Wen, the strongest cultivator in this sect currently. He usually doesn’t participate in the workings of the sect, but every major decision still requires his approval..."

Cui Shuyin explained patiently, assuming that he might be interested in knowing about the real mighty figures of this sect.

Lin Feng really was interested in knowing about these hidden figures so that he could keep his distance from them. There was no need to attract unwanted eyes on himself.

Just as they were about to arrive at the Sword Pavilion, Lin Feng saw someone flying toward them in the same direction. He had seen this person in the forest among the three disciples who came to rescue Sun Xiurong.

"Look who is here," Cui Shuyin smiled slightly while looking at the same disciple.

"Who is he?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows.

They were flying a little higher, so they weren’t discoverable to this disciple unless he used spiritual sense, which seemed to be prohibited in the sect, since he hadn’t sensed any spiritual senses till now.

"A fool who thinks others are fools..." Cui Shuyin smiled,"He is one of Xiu’er’s many suitors, and he is always looking for opportunities to get closer to her. Just like now, he’s definitely going to ask about her well-being..."

Lin Feng wore a knowing expression. That was to be expected. It wasn’t surprising that Sun Xiurong was desired by many. As a matter of fact, he doubted she had only suitors in the sect.

"So far, he hasn’t done anything unnecessary that would provoke Xiu’er. And since he has quite a respectable status, which also keeps the other suitors at bay, I’ve never bothered to warn him..." Cui Shuyin smiled, "Now, it’s your headache? I will simply enjoy the spectacle..."

Lin Feng was amused, "Why would you say that, senior? Didn’t you warn me to stay away from senior sister?"

"Tsk, As if you would listen to that," Cui Shuyin sighed, "Anyway, Xiu’er isn’t that gullible either, as a matter of fact, she is quite mature, so I doubt that she would be corrupted by you unless she herself wants that..."

Lin Feng shook his head internally, he was even afraid to close the distance more than what he already had with Sun Xiurong given her master, much less corrupt her.

"By the way, how are you going to deal with him? He has quite a reputation in the sect due to being the young master of an ancient clan which has quite influence in Azure Province..." Cui Shuyin asked with a curious tone.

Lin Feng sighed while shaking his head, "Senior, I am just a small alchemist from the Lower Worlds, I don’t think I have the courage to go against someone like that...I will maintain my distance from him. As you said, senior sister isn’t gullible, she understands what is good and what is bad..."

Cui Shuyin chuckled slightly when she heard that, she had a feeling his words didn’t reflect his original thoughts.
