Chapter 278: Chapter 68: This is What I Teach [Vote for the monthly ticket! ] _1

Looking at Empress Feng’s smug face, Wang Xuanling appeared displeased, and snorted coldly, "I wonder which fellow disciple was so kind as to teach your disciple for you."

No wonder he was unhappy, as the leader of all the peaks, he held significant prestige among the thirty-six peak masters. Comparing their popularity, he was definitely a hundred times more popular than Empress Feng.

The Beans into Soldiers Immortal Law was not a common skill; only a handful of elders at Shu Mountain knew it. Empress Feng certainly couldn’t teach this Immortal Law to Chu Liang. The strongest person she was close to was Daoist Yan, but Wang Xuanling knew that this tactic wouldn’t be in Daoist Yan’s Immortal Law repertoire, as he was more focused on the Sword Dao.

So, someone other than them, knowing there was a bet between Empress Feng and himself, secretly taught her disciple.

This was a clear stand with the Silver Sword Peak to contend against Jade Sword Peak.

So, he raised his voice a little so that all the peak masters sitting on the viewing platform could hear.

This was his way to express his dissatisfaction, but there wasn’t much else he could do.

Suddenly, a faint voice came from above, "I was the one who taught it."

Turning to look, it was none other than the Pill Furnace Elder, one of the four Zhenshan Elders situated higher up!

Wang Xuanling’s stern face froze slightly.

The elder taught it?

In that case, there’s no problem.

He was indeed aware that the Pill Furnace Elder knew Beans into Soldiers, but he hadn’t considered him at all. It was widely known on Shu Mountain that some time ago, the Silver Sword Peak had clashed with Pill Furnace Hall, and Empress Feng had even stormed into Pill Furnace Hall, causing a ruckus. It had ended with Pill Furnace Elder suffering a minor loss.

This resentment between them was deeper than that between him and Empress Feng!

But, now...

The Pill Furnace Elder has switched sides so quickly?

While Wang Xuanling was extremely surprised, Pill Furnace Elder was not without shock either.

This event traced back to just after the Mountain God Festival, when he had approached Chu Liang proposing to teach him the Dao of the Pill Furnace. Although Chu Liang finally agreed to become a Deacon Disciple in the Pill Furnace Hall, he said he would only do so after the Shu Mountain Peak Conference.

Chu Liang said he wanted to participate in the Shu Mountain Peak Conference, but his current strength was weak, so he hoped to use this time to learn more Divine Skills, especially Immortal Law.

Upon hearing this, Pill Furnace Elder said he could teach him a Immortal Law technique. This made Chu Liang overjoyed.

That Immortal Law technique was none other than Beans into Soldiers.

The Pill Furnace Elder’s decision to teach Chu Liang this skill also had his own intentions. Beans into Soldiers allowed grains to be transformed into puppets, but how much spirituality could a grain have? Unless cultivated by a powerful person with high level of cultivation, it had to use specially processed materials to refine the puppet artifacts.

For example, the puppet pill that Pill Furnace Elder often used.

He wanted to use this opportunity to teach Chu Liang about Beans into Soldiers, so he could learn to refine the puppet pills first, essentially using this time to familiarize him with the Dao of Pill Furnace.

No matter if he learned the alchemy first, he never thought that Chu Liang would be able to learn the Immortal Law itself.

The Beans into Soldiers is a derivative of the Dao of Xushi, elusive and extremely complicated, even a few years of cultivation is not enough, let alone Chu Liang mastering it within a month or two?

This was sheer daydreaming.

After teaching Chu Liang the Immortal Law technique and giving him some guidance, Pill Furnace Elder had been waiting for Chu Liang to come and ask for help when he encountered a problem, but Chu Liang never came back to him. As a Zhenshan Elder, it was beneath him to actively monitor a junior disciple.

But behold! Today, during the main competition of the Peak Conference, Chu Liang performed it!

Moreover, he had refined four puppet pills and was able to control four puppets at the same time! Others from inside or outside Shu Mountain didn’t know how long Chu Liang had been practicing and may have thought he had been hiding it for a long time.

But the Pill Furnace Elder knew, it had taken him less than two months!

However, the brief shock quickly turned into surprise, and he said to the Law-enforcement Elder at his side, "Shu Mountain has gained another once-in-a-lifetime genius!"

...

"Heavenly Sword Technique... Shrinkage... Beans into Soldiers..." Elder Sun exclaimed: "Chu Liang exploded with quite amazing strength at the beginning."

A Middle Stage Top Grade Golden Core combined with more than one Immortal Law, just these two aspects were enough to put him in the ranks of the Nine States talents!

"Hiss." Elder Huang gasped, "This kid hid it so well! Suddenly pulling this move, I bet Xu Ziyang didn’t see it coming."

"Hehe, is he freaking out?" Elder Sun asked.

"Not really," Elder Huang confidently shook his head. "Although it’s unexpected, it’s still delusional to think that with this strength alone, he can defeat a Fifth Stage talent."

As he spoke these words, Xu Ziyang, who was in the formation, finally responded.

Indeed.

Chu Liang’s sudden outburst was beyond his expectations.

A cultivator who had mastered two Immortal Laws typically could not unleash them simultaneously. Chu Liang used the Shrinkage twice and Beans into Soldiers once, effectively using Immortal Law three times in the blink of an eye.

You need to know that the use of Immortal Law drains True Qi extensively, a typical cultivator in the Middle Stage Golden Core would have their Qi Sea depleted by this combination of moves!

Yet Chu Liang maintained his composure, showing no signs he was exerting himself.

Was this the charm of a Top Grade Golden Core?

Keeping it hidden for so long was indeed painstaking... but that was it.

Faced with being attacked by five Chu Liang’s, Xu Ziyang indeed felt some pressure. If they were competing on physical strength alone, he might not even match up to Chu Liang’s main body, let alone face five opponents at once.

But would he just sit and wait for death?
