After dealing with Lu Jun, the mission was successfully completed, and at the same time, it solidified Lu Gu's position as the head of the family. This matter could be considered a complete success.
Ye Tian and the others wanted to leave, but Lu Gu insisted on keeping them. Duan Liu, being greedy, couldn't resist the delicious food and ended up staying with the group at the Lu Family for a day.
During this day, Ye Tian grew increasingly impressed with Lu Gu through their interactions. Although Lu Gu's strength was not particularly formidable, he had an exceptionally kind heart. He was willing to risk everything, including the entire Lu Family's resources, to save a commoner from the nearby strongest bandit group. Such incidents were countless.
To completely alleviate Lu Gu's concerns, Ye Tian publicly offered him a deal in front of everyone in the Lu Family. Initially, Lu Gu declined vehemently, feeling unworthy. However, when Ye Tian explained that it was merely a formality, he felt reassured.
Of course, it was indeed just a formality. Ye Tian admired Lu Gu's character but found it hard to connect with him since Lu Gu often spoke of grand philosophies that Ye Tian found difficult to digest.
Subsequently, Ye Tian revealed his identity as a holder of the Cloud Token. With this status backing him up, he believed that once word got out, no one would dare to act against the Lu Family easily.
After all, who would dare to provoke the sworn brother of a legitimate Cloud Token holder?
A day later, Ye Tian and the others left the Lu Family and returned to Cloud Sea Sect.
"Ye Tian, why do you always flaunt your Cloud Token?" Duan Liu joked. Although he knew Ye Tian was only using the Cloud Token to help others, he couldn't help himself; that's just how Duan Liu was.
"Do you want to show off that you have one?" Ye Tian retorted without explaining further.
Duan Liu was left speechless, thinking that this guy didn't play by the rules.
Amidst their laughter and banter, they finally returned to Cloud Sea Sect four days later.
To their surprise, the gatekeepers were once again those same few disciples from before. However, this time they had learned their lesson; upon seeing Ye Tian return, they immediately abandoned a disciple who was flattering them and rushed over to greet Ye Tian.
Ye Tian didn't resist; after all, it wouldn't be polite to turn away someone who approached him warmly.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they finally managed to break free and headed together to exchange their Contribution Points.
This time, since the mission level was not very high, the exchanged Contribution Points were not many, totaling two thousand points for the four of them.
After dividing the two thousand points, they realized that they couldn't redeem anything good in terms of martial arts, so no one took action. They agreed to rest for a few days before heading out again.
Once back at their residence, Ye Tian found himself idle and began to think about the mysterious person from that night.
For some reason, he always had a vague feeling that this person was likely Elder Dou.
"Elder Dou..." Ye Tian murmured the name a few times before falling into a deep sleep.
These past few days of rest had been quite good, with nothing happening until the third day when Duan Liu came knocking, saying he could no longer hold back and wanted to head down the mountain again.
Ye Tian initially wanted to calm his mind and focus on breaking through to Martial Sovereign, but he couldn't resist Duan Liu's persistent nagging. Reluctantly, he agreed to meet with Cold Moon and Duan Liu, and they set off on another mission together.
This time they accepted a B-Level Mission, which they successfully completed seven days later.
Duan Liu seemed to have his eyes set on a particular martial art book; just two days after returning to the mountain, he was clamoring to go down again. With no other choice, they set off once more.
Thus, two months passed in a hurry. Upon their return this time, after completing the exchanges, everyone now had a total of five thousand exchange points...
What does five thousand exchange points mean?
It means they could easily acquire a Profound-Grade Martial Arts technique!
And what does a Profound-Grade Martial Arts technique signify?
If cultivated to perfection, among the younger generation of disciples in Cloud Sea Sect, it was likely that five of them could already rival the four of them.
In terms of strength, they were now fully capable of standing toe-to-toe with the four chief disciples!
Li Xun, Thunderstorm, Yue Lingwei, and Himeka Myou had merely managed to acquire two volumes of Profound-Grade Martial Arts.
In the Cloud Sea Sect, Profound-Grade Martial Arts is essentially the dividing line for disciples aspiring to become top-tier figures; it is not about strength but rather reputation.
It can be said that very few individuals can exchange for a volume of Profound-Grade Martial Arts within ten years, yet the Ye Tian group accomplished this in just two months.
The previous fastest record was held by Thunderstorm at one year and three days. Next was Li Xun with one year and two months, followed by Himeka Myou with one year and four months, and finally Yue Lingwei with one year and seven months.
Of course, they all acted individually, making their tasks significantly more challenging compared to the Ye Tian group's collaborative efforts. Nevertheless, exchanging for four volumes of Profound-Grade Martial Arts in just two months is still something that leaves many people astonished.
Today, Ye Tian, Condensed Moon Segment Flow, and Yun'er appeared before the Hidden Martial Pavilion, their faces radiant with glory.
This time, even the Grand Elder guarding the Hidden Martial Pavilion opened his eyes to take a proper look at them.
Although it was just a glance, it was enough to evoke envy from others. It should be noted that within the entire Cloud Sea Sect, this immensely powerful Grand Elder likely does not regard even the Lords of the Four Great Cloud Halls highly.
To have caught his attention signifies how extraordinary these disciples are.
This time, they went directly to the third floor because the first floor housed Earth-Level Martial Arts, the second floor was for practicing martial arts, while the third floor contained Profound-Grade Martial Arts. The fourth floor was again for practicing martial arts, and so on.
Ye Tian looked up towards the end of the staircase, wondering what kind of place the sixth floor might be; it was said that no disciple had ever entered there.
Choosing martial arts is a deeply troubling matter since each volume possesses its unique power and function, making it hard to let go of any one of them.
Moreover, if selecting Earth-Level Martial Arts is challenging, then choosing Profound-Grade Martial Arts is akin to forcing oneself into despair!
"Ye Tian! Ye Tian! Which one do you think I should choose?" Duan Liu shouted loudly.
Due to the difficulty in exchanging for Profound-Grade Martial Arts, there were hardly any figures present on the entire third floor.
Of course, there are definitely more than just Ye Tian, as many diligent disciples who have been practicing at the Cloud Sea Sect for years have accumulated enough Contribution Points over time. However, for those of their type, it seems unlikely they will ever stand out in the Cloud Sea Sect.
Every year, young talents emerge, and this year, the most prominent among them are Ye Tian and a few others.
"Junior Brother, could you please keep your voice down and consider their feelings?" said an older disciple who appeared to be in his thirties while flipping through some pages.
Duan Liu glanced over and muttered to himself, "Is this an elder?"
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother. He hasn't seen much of the world and is a bit too excited since it's his first time exchanging for Profound-Grade Martial Arts," Ye Tian said, half comforting and half teasing.
The man nodded and replied without looking at them, "Just be mindful; don't let a little achievement go to your head."
"What do you mean by that?" Duan Liu was displeased. Why was he being accused of being arrogant? He was just excited. He couldn't believe that this Senior Brother wasn't excited the first time he selected Profound-Grade Martial Arts.
"My meaning is clear: if you want to walk a long path, it requires more than just a moment's effort," the Senior Brother said with an air of profundity.
"Forget it." Ye Tian pulled Duan Liu back, who was still wanting to retort. He had already figured out that the guy was just narrow-minded. After probably spending many years in the Cloud Sea Sect and finally obtaining a Profound-Grade Martial Arts manual, he must have felt jealous upon hearing about how they exchanged theirs within two months.
Such a person wasn't worth arguing with; otherwise, it would simply lower their own status.
"Senior Brother, take your time. Sorry for the disturbance," Ye Tian said with a smile and cupped his hands in greeting, thinking that he felt a bit sorry for him.
"Mm." The man merely nodded, never lifting his head to look at Ye Tian.
However, this did not mean he didn't know who Ye Tian was. On the contrary, he understood Ye Tian very well. This young man who had become a holder of the Cloud Token at such a young age made him extremely envious.
Why did he have everything go smoothly while he himself worked hard and struggled only to end up as an elder?
Indeed, for disciples like them who had some ability but were already too old, their final path would be to become an Elder of Instruction at the Cloud Sea Sect.
However, being the Elder of Instruction has its uses; if you don't make a fuss, you won't gain any benefits. It's simply a thankless job!
"Kid, don't pretend to be magnanimous with me. Who do you think you are? Don't let me find an opportunity, or I'll make you regret it!" The man finally lifted his head and glared in the direction Ye Tian had left, speaking with resentment.
…………
Ye Tian pulled Duan Liu to another spot and whispered, "Don't pay attention to them. People like that are usually looking for trouble. They envy us and wish they could find a chance to beat us up to make a name for themselves."
"Who beats up whom is still uncertain!" Duan Liu was furious and still not calmed down.
"I'm not trying to scare you. Don't think it's just you; even I wouldn't be confident in facing them. In terms of strength, this group is probably among the top existences among the disciples of Cloud Sea Sect." Ye Tian paused for a moment and suddenly laughed, "However, calling them disciples might not be appropriate anymore. At their age, they should be elders."
"Are you making fun of people?" Duan Liu felt a bit better because what Ye Tian said was indeed true. Those individuals had been practicing at Cloud Sea Sect for over ten years or even decades. If they didn't have some hidden skills, they would be no different from useless trash.
However, Cloud Sea Sect never recruits useless individuals, which means that anyone like that must possess considerable strength, with a minimum standard above Martial Unity Definition.
"Haha, yes, I am making fun of them." Ye Tian chuckled; indeed, he was mocking that hypocritical individual.
"By the way, have you chosen your martial arts?" Duan Liu couldn't make up his mind and wanted to see what Ye Tian had chosen first.
"Of course I've chosen; it's this one." Ye Tian said as he took out a martial arts book from his pocket.
"Azure Dragon Dominance?"
