Cultivators Are So Weak in This World-Chapter 233 - 214 Calculation

However, his thoughts were not on this issue, but entirely on the attribute bar that had just changed.

Since the last time he saw Yan Shuang, the newly acquired attribute points had also remained unused.

He accumulated them all, waiting for the Golden Toad Skill.

Anyway, within Celestial Treasure Palace, there were experts to protect him at any time, so he didn’t need to act himself.

"Uncle Master Mingyuan, what would you say my current martial arts strength rate at outside? Can you give me a positioning?"

In the martial arts courtyard behind the small building.

Zhang Rongfang looked at Daoist Mingyuan opposite him with a solemn inquiry.

Mingyuan pondered seriously.

"Every sect has spiritual guards and spiritual veins. But because few succeed, their numbers are small.

Most spiritual guards are Ninth Grade. Spiritual veins are mostly Super Grade, with External Medicine being the minority and internal techniques being more common, while Three Emptiness is extremely rare.

Because those in Three Emptiness hope to advance further, to step into the Grandmaster realm, and then undergo Spiritualization."

He paused.

"Therefore, as long as you do not provoke major forces, most small to medium forces cannot do anything to you."

"I see...." Zhang Rongfang understood.

He already had detailed ideas on how to continue the cultivation of the Golden Toad Skill.

"Don’t rush. How is your Cultivation of Literature progressing? Are there any difficult points you need answers to? If there are, you can seek the three Palace Masters within the palace for enlightenment."

Mingyuan usually spoke very little, but when it involved Zhang Rongfang’s Cultivation of Literature, he would notably speak at length.

"The Cultivation of Literature is okay.... okay...." Zhang Rongfang laughed dryly, finally realizing his own aptitude.

Without using attribute points, relying solely on his own hard work, ever since he obtained the Supreme Bright Void Skill, he has not improved at all.

This made him have a clear understanding of his true aptitude.

"Having a little bit of martial arts for self-defense is enough...." Mingyuan frowned slightly, about to continue lecturing.

Suddenly, the sound of a gong came from afar within the palace.

A Daoist suddenly ran to the entrance of the courtyard, hurriedly shouting towards Zhang Rongfang.

"Brother Qiankun, there is a transfer order from the palace, and it mentions you! Go quickly to see!!"

Zhang Rongfang looked bewildered, transfer?

Instantly he realized.

Unexpectedly it was through this method.....

Immediately, he quickly tidied himself up, donned a formal daoist robe, and hurried to Chao Yuan Hall, dedicated to receiving orders and appointments from Celestial Treasure Palace.

Walking briskly along the white stone-paved path to Chao Yuan Hall.

At a glance, Zhang Rongfang saw that Master Chongxuan was also there.

There were also two unfamiliar Daoists.

Across from the group, he saw the Fire Officer he’d encountered before, Li Xuance, now holding a dark green scroll, reading something aloud.

Zhang Rongfang crossed the defensive line of overseeing Daoists and entered Chao Yuan Hall.

He then greeted each of them in turn.

"Disciple greets Master."

Yue Dewen’s expression was flat, revealing no clues. Seeing his disciple arrive, he nodded to Zhang Rongfang.

"You’re just in time, there is an order from the palace to allow you to be dispatched to handle the Dao affairs at Citong. It is a long journey; if you go, you might not return for one or two years."

In fact, he didn’t expect that His Majesty would suddenly pull this move. Although this was not an imperial decree, it was simply not explicitly stated.

The Daoist affairs have always been managed by their Jixian Institute, so why would there suddenly be a message from the palace?

"This matter is significant. If you do not wish to, your master will support you and turn it back."

Yue Dewen’s expression turned solemn as he seriously told Zhang Rongfang.

In recent times, the Western Sect and Zhenyi have been contending against each other, with the Great Dao Teaching remaining neutral in peace.

But Yue Dewen never anticipated that it would be His Majesty who would target him.

If it were any other situation, he might continue to bide his time. Even if he was temporarily not allowed to transform into a Spirit General, he would accept it.

But now, just when he finally saw hope, he suddenly encountered this situation.....

His disciple caught the attention of His Majesty, which truly posed a problem.... Perhaps, he could only bluntly deflect it.

"Long time no see, Daoist Qiankun, it’s good to see you’re well." Li Xuance looked up and smiled at Zhang Rongfang.

Zhang Rongfang nodded to him, but his sight fell on Master Chongxuan. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"The palace plans to appoint you to the position of Guardian of the Teaching at Citong, to set things right and reorganize the religious order at Great Port." Yue Dewen said gravely.

"I am considering refusing it for you. You are still young; now is the critical time for the Cultivation of Literature. It’s not advisable to be disturbed, only...."

"Master!" Zhang Rongfang knew immediately in his heart that this must be the opportunity Yan Shuang mentioned.

"Master, disciple is willing to go!

This matter actually won’t delay the cultivation of the Cultivation of Literature. I guarantee that I will make progress in it periodically. Master need not worry!"

He spoke decisively and assuredly.

As long as Master and Mingyuan no longer monitored him, he could find opportunities to utilize his points and quickly enhance his Golden Toad Skill.

There was no other way, these two watched him too closely....

Yue Dewen could only look at him speechlessly.

He knew.... This kid always felt that he was restraining him, hindering his Cultivation of Literature.

Now, with a chance to leap out, he would naturally be highly delighted.

But he should also think, did this opportunity emerge out of nowhere? Were Zhenyi, the Western Sect, and even the palace genuinely introducing this matter to train the Great Dao Teaching?

It’s unlikely when you think about it.

Without the stable environment of Celestial Treasure Palace, going out, he would face all sorts of troublesome matters, leaving him no time to focus on the Cultivation of Literature.

"Qiankun, you have to understand, the palace is sending you outside not for leisure." Yue Dewen said seriously.

"Disciple knows. But the opportunity is rare; I am willing to give it a try!" Zhang Rongfang answered earnestly.

Yue Dewen was at a loss for words.

When he investigated beforehand, he already knew this kid was an official fanatic; now it seems he’s still the same....

But it’s okay, regardless if he’s willing or not, after some time, he would mess up things for them if needed.

"Sect Leader Yue, are you planning to figure out a way to opt out of this matter later?" Li Xuance suddenly interjected, smiling.

"Not at all, Eunuch Li. What makes you say so?" Yue Dewen laughed dryly.

"Sect Leader Yue, it’s better not to have such an idea. Over in Kai Province, there’s a clandestine sect that needs you to personally lead to suppress.

Rest assured, His Majesty has sent Princess Yongxiang along with Daoist Qiankun for this journey.

There’s no need to worry about safety." Li Xuance responded.

"..." Yue Dewen was initially not worried, but hearing Yongxiang’s name changed his expression slightly.

"If Master is still concerned, perhaps assign someone to guard disciple closely, wouldn’t that be identical to remaining in Celestial Treasure Palace?" Zhang Rongfang immediately suggested.

Yue Dewen glanced at Zhang Rongfang helplessly.

"Well, alright. Just be aware if you come back and the Cultivation of Literature is still progressing slowly.... then don’t blame me for being harsh!"

"Disciple obeys!" Zhang Rongfang felt joyous and quickly bowed.

Yue Dewen waved his hand helplessly, turned away, uninterested in continuing to look at the infuriating pupil.

Leaving Chao Yuan Hall, his figure flickered and soon disappeared from sight.

Before long, he appeared on the third floor of his small building.

Standing on the balcony, the helplessness on his face had long vanished.

"Seems like His Majesty does indeed intend to interfere...."

"Sect Leader, should I go personally with him?" Daoist Mingyuan emerged from behind him, head lowered.

"That’s unnecessary, Qiankun and the Princess are together; no one would risk angering me by making a move against that boy.

That’s not my concern." Yue Dewen shook his head.

"That boy’s Cultivation of Literature hasn’t moved at all until now?"

"Exactly, I’ve monitored it for a long time, confirming it hasn’t made the slightest progress." Mingyuan nodded.

"It seems.... there must be something that’s gone wrong somewhere, disturbing his mental state. Going out to take a break is good, perhaps I’ve been pushing too hard." Yue Dewen stroked his beard in thought.

"It’s perfect, this trip out, let that boy thoroughly experience that even with the highest martial arts, what can he do? No matter how many you kill, you can’t eliminate even the lowest spiritual guard.

After years of arduous cultivation, yet unable to match an opponent’s single act of worship, instantly surpassing oneself.

Such deep-seated helplessness, without experiencing it, he wouldn’t understand why we pursue the highest Spiritualization."

He chuckled.

"When he regrets it, he will naturally come crawling back, kneeling and seeking my guidance. By then, he will automatically concentrate entirely, single-mindedly pursuing the Dao, undistracted."

"..." Mingyuan was speechless.

This old man’s craftiness was something he was long familiar with.

Just like with that Golden Toad Skill, which needed a century-old Red Reishi.

It simply doesn’t require something of a hundred years; this old man secretly distracted Zhang Ying, while he was turned away, having me discreetly modify it.

The main ingredient initially didn’t need a century-old Red Reishi but a unique material called Century Red.

I, at the time, wrote a few extra words using aged potion....

Therefore, Zhang Ying was destined not to successfully cultivate the Golden Toad Skill, and would definitely regret it in the future, turning back wholeheartedly to practice Cultivation of Literature.

This was predestined from the very beginning.
