However, since Han Li was hit hard last time, he immediately started to cultivate hard. Every day, he was either reading or consulting Elder Li. He was extremely diligent. Elder Li shouted every day that having such a disciple, what more could he ask for.
As for Edward, he directly threw him out of his mind. Even when Steward Gu told him that Edward had been in secluded study for a month, he didn't pay attention. Only when Han Li learned about it, he worked even harder.
It's not scary when others have talent, but it's terrifying when others have talent and are even more diligent than him. So Han Li, who learned that Edward was working hard, became even more diligent.
Even Elder Li spent a huge amount to purchase the 'A Century Snow Lotus' worth hundreds of thousands of magic stones, allowing Han Li's comprehension speed of the Justice Magic Sutra to increase tenfold!
In just one day, he broke through to the fifth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra and reached the peak of the sixth layer in one month.
Edward was still practicing the three basic spells every day. After Elder Wang's guidance, there were no obstacles for him to later cultivate them to the great achievement stage. He only needed to use them proficiently to achieve it.
Two months have passed since Elder Wang left. Edward collected 4,000 magic stones and also managed to cultivate the three spells to the stage of great achievement with difficulty.
This speed is already very fast. For example, Han Li is still vigorously cultivating the Justice Magic Sutra and has just broken through to the seventh layer of the Justice Magic Sutra. As for these three spells, he has just begun to learn them.
The third month passed slowly. Edward's cultivation level didn't improve much, but his physical body advanced to a higher level. Now he had enough magic stones to buy some spiritual flowers and herbs for cultivation and didn't need to go to the cafeteria and eat dozens of plates of food at once.
In the fourth month, Edward waited left and right but didn't receive the 10,000 magic stones for this month, which made him a little impatient.
"Now I still have 6,000 magic stones in hand, and I'm still 9,000 magic stones short of simplifying the ninth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra!"
Edward learned from Steward Gu that Han Li has now reached the perfection of the seventh layer of the Justice Magic Sutra and is ready to break through to the eighth layer at any time. This is because Elder Li has spent too many magic stones recently and didn't buy resources anymore but asked Han Li to consolidate more.
As for Que Yang, he is already numb now!
"This talent! It's almost overflowing. Fortunately, I have the simplification skill. Otherwise, I would definitely be done for this time!"
Edward didn't wait for Elder Wang to have someone send the 10,000 magic stones' worth of resources for this month and directly took the matter to his four senior brothers.
Although the Justice Magic Academy and the Justice Magic Sect were far apart, Edward had practiced the art of Riding the Clouds and Fog. The whole person flew up under the support of a burst of Justice Magic Qi within his body.
In the high altitude, with the clouds swirling and unfurling, Edward shuttled through the clouds and slowly flew towards the Justice Magic Sect.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Among the cloud, there were also a few people with cyan cloud flying by on the side. Edward took a glance at the Justice Magic Qi under their feet and understood that they were all disciples of the Justice Magic Sect.
Edward slowly flew towards the mountain gate of the Justice Magic Sect and landed slowly.
"May I ask who junior brother is?" The disciple stationed at the mountain gate of the Justice Magic Sect asked.
"I'm Edward, the newly accepted direct disciple of Elder Wang. This is my token!" Edward took out the token and gave it to the disciple guarding the mountain.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Edward. In the future, Senior Brother Edward, as long as you input the Justice Magic Qi into the token, you can directly enter the Justice Magic Sect." As soon as the disciple guarding the mountain heard that Edward was a direct disciple, he immediately showed great respect.
"OK, then thank you, junior brother. I wonder if junior brother knows where my Master Elder Wang's residence is?" Edward asked.
"Elder Wang usually practices on the Ku Zhu Peak and is an ascetic!" The disciple guarding the mountain said, "Senior brother, you go straight this way. When you see a large bamboo forest, that's it."
"Thank you!" Edward cupped his hands and flew towards Ku Zhu Peak.
Soon, Edward arrived at Ku Zhu Peak. Among the bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves rustled loudly.
"Could it be Edward, Junior Brother Edward has come?" A middle-aged man walked out. The thick Justice Magic Qi on his body made Edward feel as if he was surrounded by a great river.
"It's me. Where is Master? Who are you, Senior Brother?" Edward asked.
"Fifth Junior Brother, hahaha, Master is protecting your Fourth Senior Brother during his cultivation. I am your Eldest Senior Brother Tang Qing. Just call me Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Eldest Senior Brother!" Edward cupped his hands and said.
"We disciples of Ku Zhu Peak have good talents and are the most diligent in cultivation. Now the other two of Ku Zhu Peak have gone on missions and I'm the only one left. The 10,000 magic stones that Master promised you this month can't be sent to you either!" Tang Qing gave a wry smile and said helplessly.
Although there are still some servants on Ku Zhu Peak, with so many magic stones, who knows if there will be any accidents.
"It doesn't matter, Eldest Senior Brother. Then I'll come over to collect it once every month!" Edward said with a smile.
"Then it will trouble Junior Brother to come and collect it every month. Your Fourth Senior Brother is in seclusion and I don't know when he will break through."
Saying that, Eldest Senior Brother Tang Qing took out 10,000 magic stones for Edward and at the same time used the Justice Magic Eye to look at Edward.
"Gasp! Junior Brother Edward, three months ago, I heard that Master didn't say you were only at the fourth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra? How did you break through to the eighth layer?" Tang Qing was stunned.
Originally, he also wanted to encourage Edward a few words and ask him to cultivate hard and carry forward the spirit of Ku Zhu Peak. But the cultivation realm of Edward instead made the eldest senior brother decide that he would go back and study hard immediately. He couldn't be caught up by the junior brother.
"Alas! It's not that Elder Li also accepted a disciple named Han Li. Elder Li gives him everything. He joined the academy later than me, and now he is also at the eighth layer. You said, can I not spare some time to work hard to avoid being surpassed!" Edward sighed and said.
The eldest senior brother was stunned. Three months ago, he heard from the master that Edward was not diligent enough. If he couldn't break through to the ninth layer within ten years, the direct disciple token would be taken back.
But how long has it been now? In just three months, Edward directly broke through to the eighth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra! There are still more than nine years left. It seems that he could break through to the ninth layer even if he just lies around!
"Han Li huh... I've also heard about his talent. Master has mentioned him and told me to cultivate hard and not be surpassed by Elder Li's disciple!" The eldest senior brother said with some difficulty. Despite his not-so-young age, as the master's first disciple, although his talent was not weak, compared to Han Li, it was really much worse.
The one that Master said would break through to the peak of the ninth layer of the Justice Magic Sutra in ten years is him. It can be said that among the fellow disciples, his talent is the worst.
This talent, cultivating as fast as a rocket. And asking him not to be caught up? What a joke!
Thinking of this, Eldest Senior Brother Tang Qing showed an envious expression towards Edward.
