Young Master!? Elder Yu!? Mei Lingxi said in shock.

Beauty Mei, who are youan elder! An unknown cultivator commented from out of view. Williams lip twitched in amusement at hearing the male voice.

It was nice to feel something else after being in a constant state of concern. Even if it was at the expense of whoever the poor man was.

Attendant Mei, your presence is required. Step through the portal.

Yes, Elder Yu, Mei Lingxi quickly gathered some manuals and papers on the desk behind her before doing as ordered.

The portal closed behind her.

Greetings, Elder Yu, Mei Lingxi smiled sweetly. And to you too, Young Master. You left me to wander around the common grounds for a few days. Can I assume you were at the auction?

Ah, right, William flushed with embarrassment. He had forgotten she wasnt aware. Senior Lan took me there without warning.

I see. I had so much fun the past fewdays, and it would be a shame if you didnt experience the same, Mei Lingxis tone was so sarcastic even a fool could recognize it.

This can be discussed when not in my presence. Attendant Mei, you were called to take on a task. Disciple Wei now owns part of a merchant house that the sect will soon support from a distance. To avoid distracting him with such matters, you will be the ones to make decisions on his behalf.

Mei Lingxis sour expression immediately brightened.

Truly?

Indeed, Elder Yu pointed at the door, which was getting a lot of use. The majority owner is past that door. Discuss with her about the best way you can help. Remember that this is still secondary to your duties to Disciple Wei.

Of course! Mei Lingxi chirped and looked eager to leave, but she addressed William first.Young Master, these are notes I took during a lecture about formations. I also had help from Doormaer, a kind disciple who gave me manuals that a beginner should focus on learning first.

William took the handwritten notes and manuals she had in her hands with a surprised expression. Thank you, Sister Lingxi.

Youre welcome! We can talk later! Mei Lingxi rushed to the door, opening it to see Wang Xiaoling and Xiu Jing on the other side. Greetings! Which one of you owns the merchThe source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

The door closed, cutting off Mei Lingxis sentence.

I need help choosing a Heaven-Tier martial skill.

Choose? Elder Yu frowned. Who is offering you a choice between Heaven-Tier skills?

When I said I gained a Heaven-tier Martial Skill from the Shard, it wasnt a lie, but there is more to it. I have a choice between five martial skills, and I get to choose the one I prefer.

Elder Yu stared at him silently. Long enough that he felt the need to break the silence.

Elder Yu?

She shook her head slightly. Thats hard to process, Disciple Wei. Heaven-tier martial skills are best chosen when you know what you specialize in. That involves understanding Dao, which is still far out of your reach. In fact, it could even be fatal before the Core Formation Realm.

William already assumed most of that, and as for the last sentence, he had personally experienced it. There was a reason he refused to think of regaining access to Perception Dao.

Daoist Chen had outright told him that his life wouldnt be saved a second time, and he didnt want to take a gamble on it. The most frightening part of previously gaining access to Perception Dao was that he had no idea why it had happened.

It was buried in the deep recesses of his mind, but there was a constant fear that the same thing would happen again. If a regular observation of the food market was enough to trigger it, anything could cause its reactivation.

Is there a way to prevent understanding Dao?

Elder Yu stared at him again. She was doing that frequently. Prevent? Do you think it is so easy to understand? Most cultivators dont touch a Dao until they reach the Nascent Soul realm.

It should be good to know he was an outlier here, but unfortunately, it happened to be fatal to be too good.

Still, is there a way to prevent it? William pressed.

Elder Yu narrowed her eyes in suspicion. Your reluctance will be enough to prevent you from ever understanding Dao. It requires acceptance, not wariness. Remove such an unnecessary fear, Disciple Wei. You are only going to hold yourself back in the future.

He forced himself to nod solemnly and not show his relief. Yes, Elder Yu.

Good. Tell me of the Heaven-Tier skills you can choose from. Maybe we can rule out some that are blatantly ill-suited for you.

William doubted it would be so easy since Sophia had told him all the martial skills would suit him. Still, Elder Yu was right. She could help him prioritize the skills.
