Chapter 91: Farewell

Chapter 91: Farewell

Han Lingyun knew that Wang Yimos main reason for not challenging him was not in order to please him but rather because she simply didnt want to be ranked first. Thus, the top 11 for the next half year ended up being the following.

#1 Han Lingyun

#2 Wang Yimo

#3 Lai Meihui

#4 Liao Shao

---

#5 Qi Bo

#6 Qin MeiNew novel chapters are published on

#7 Liao Zhenzhen

#8 Shen Lin

#9 Li An

#10 Pan Xiulan

#11. Liao Qiaolian

For the first time, Han Lingyun received the medal unique to the number 1 disciple of the promotion. And this while not even being at the qi condensation realm. Even his minor Ye Wenyan had just reached that threshold!

To stay on the topic of younger disciples, Han Lingyun had never seriously considered joining the new 1st years and to pass as one of them.

It would be a waste of time. And its not very useful except to have a good laugh at the 1st years reactions. This, makes me remember, I should now have a grand minor, a new member to the Shu family. Hehe Im quite excited to meet him, or her. Actually, now that Xia Shan joined the regiments, Lan Ruoxi is the only girl in the line currently at the school. I bet she is praying for another girl to join our ranks. Anyway, I wont be meeting my minor for now, its too embarrassing to be at a lower cultivation than him. I wonder if there ever was a situation where a member of the Shu family was one entire cultivation realm ahead of his major. I need to fix this anomaly fast.

It was great that Han Lingyun had Wang Yimo to take him around on her flying sword like this. It would raise some questions if he walked to and from his cave on foot like those that were still at the body strengthening realm. With the rankings out of the way, it was time to put his foot down on cultivation.

Elder Wen handed proudly a series of arrays, disks and other tools to assemble the formation. The WMF is capable of hiding a surface of 5-meter radius from the eyes and spirit sense of Core Formation Elders. Plus, it should be able to hold off the attacks of Late Core Formation Elders for an hour!

Its only issue, is the power source

Elder Wen suddenly appeared a bit more embarrassed as he took out a near see-through qi crystal, with a multitude of colors being reflected and refracted from its patterns. Han Lingyun tried to contain his laugh as he found that Elder Wen was acting like a naughty child that had just been caught cheating.

The formation needs a top-grade crystal to be powered. I only have this one on myself, so keep it well and take good care of it!

A top-grade crystal. Above the medium grade was the high grade, and the top grade was the next level! Han Lingyun made a rapid mental calculation.

If one high grade crystal is worth 10 000 low grade qi crystals, and a top-grade crystal is worth 100 high grade crystals, then this single top-grade crystal is worth 1 million low grade crystals! And thats just by considering the amount of qi stored inside. In reality, top grade crystals are even more valuable due to its rarity and usefulness for storing extreme qi quantities in such a small volume.

Han Lingyun was holding the resplendent crystal with shaky hands as he looked back up at his teachers face.

Master, I dont deserve all this.

Hahaha, but you do, disciple Lingyun. I still feel indebted! If it bothers you, just think of it as my goodbye gift, or as a reward for achieving the number 1 rank while being so weak. Hahaha, this gave us Elders a good laugh! But you were quite lucky to not be challenged. For the promotion of your minor for example, the number 1 disciple receives challenges during every ranking! Well, this one is truly deserving of his rank; he very well might bring home the first place at the SCA competition for 2nd year disciples this year.

The master and disciple then took another good hour to talk about various matters. After everything was said, Elder Wen stood up, looking ready to depart.

Oh, before I forget. My disciple, I also provided to you all those books because I dont want you to join the Array Pavilion, its a place full of arrogant and entitled Elders, that might try to hamper you because they grow jealous of your talent. You have what it takes to self-study anyway.

Rather, I recommend that you join the Forging Branch during the year. Its a complementary discipline to array formations and the atmosphere is much more genuine on that side. I have good friends over there as well; they shouldnt mistreat you.

Disciple understands.

Elder Wen nodded approvingly and picked up the formations he had laid around. Then, I wish you well my disciple, this is my goodbye. May our paths cross again.

Goodbye, teacher.

With a gust of wind, Elder Wen was already gone.

Han Lingyun stood up and walked out of his cave. He suddenly felt the impulse to admire the view from above, or perhaps he just wanted to catch one last glimpse of his teacher.
