Strongest Medical Saint-Chapter 741: The Talent Is Just Too Poor
Regarding the events of Dragon Leap Gate,
even many forces within the Middle Realm only vaguely knew some details!
The Sects venturing to the Lower Realm did not dare to openly discuss the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family but mentioned the events of that day in a vague manner.
Rumors did not specify how strong Shen Feng’s combat power was; they only mentioned that he had helped a Condensing Immortal Peak Mysterious Fire Phoenix Hawk enhance its combat abilities, which allowed him to kill an Inner Sect Disciple of the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family and severely injure Zhao Qingyuan, the Inner Sect Elder.
Thus, Xiu Zuixin and He Haichen were also not clear about the strength of Shen Feng’s combat abilities.
After being silent for a few seconds,
Shen Feng knew that denying it was utterly pointless now, so he looked at Xiu Zuixin and said, "You’re very smart!"
"However, smart women are always dangerous!"
A hint of a smile emerged at the corner of Xiu Zuixin’s mouth as she said, "Can I take it as a compliment?"
"Your expertise as a Zither Master is far beyond mine, I should call you my senior, but I would rather be friends with you."
Seeing Shen Feng admitting his identity, He Haichen never expected that the youngster before him was the very person who had offended the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family at Dragon Leap Gate!
He knew how dangerous the space from the Lower Realm to the Middle Realm was. How could this youngster, with nothing more than a Nascent Variation Peak cultivation level, really make it through the chaotic space to the Middle Realm?
Compared to his disciple, the straightforward Elder He Haichen contemplated briefly and then said, "Senior, rest assured, I can arrange a place for you at the Zither Master Pavilion. By now, the Demon-Suppressing Zhao Family and other powers heading to the Lower Realm believe you perished in the Chaotic Space, I can guarantee you won’t be discovered!"
"With your current zither mastery, you should absolutely shift your focus to cultivation."
"It’s just a pity that combat isn’t my strong suit, but rest assured, I have some clout in the Middle Realm and can find you an absolutely reliable master for cultivation. How does that sound?"
Without waiting for Shen Feng to answer,
He Haichen’s storage ring flashed, and a square piece of jade appeared in his palm.
The piece of jade was about twenty centimeters in length and width. He threw it gently towards Shen Feng and said, "Senior, since you’ve come alone to the Middle Realm, you surely haven’t undergone any talent assessment yet! Having reached the Nascent Variation Peak in the Lower Realm and possessing such a high degree of Zither Master proficiency, your talent must be incredible!"
"I will find you a suitable cultivation master depending on your talent."
Shen Feng felt somewhat overwhelmed by He Haichen’s enthusiasm, but since the square jade was already tossed over, he could only casually hold it in his hand.
One does not slap a hand offered in friendship; he could sense that He Haichen meant no harm.
As Shen Feng caught the piece of jade, He Haichen and Xiu Zuixin’s eyes were all focused on his palm, anticipating another surprise.
As long as the square jade was held in the hand for around five seconds or more, the result would appear.
If the jade lit up with white light, it meant the cultivator’s talent was poor; if the jade shone with black light, it meant the cultivator was of intermediate grade talent; if the jade glowed with red light, it signified the cultivator had Upper Grade talent!
Of course, if the entire piece of jade showed no response, then there was a very high chance that the cultivator’s talent far surpassed Upper Grade!
Five seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
He Haichen and Xiu Zuixin were silent, observing that the whole piece of jade showed not the slightest reaction.
Thereupon, He Haichen’s breathing quickened, thinking the fellow before him might have limitless talent!
Talent far surpassing Upper Grade implied a very high probability of someday advancing into the Immortal Emperor Stage!
Such individuals were highly sought after by major powers in the Middle Realm.
But as He Haichen’s mind wandered aimlessly, the piece of jade Shen Feng held in his hand began to faintly flicker with a weak white light.
In the sunlight.
This flickering white light, if not carefully sensed, was completely invisible.
The flickering of white light indicated very poor cultivation talent, and the fainter the white light, the worse the cultivation talent was.
Such a negligible white light was simply indicative of a level of poor cultivation talent that was beyond description.
The square jade in Shen Feng’s hand was just a simple testing treasure.
Its basic principle was to sense a cultivator’s bone age and cultivation level, in order to roughly deduce the cultivator’s talent.
The younger the bone age and the higher the cultivation level of a person, the better the talent definitely wouldn’t be!
Shen Feng had dissipated his cultivation level, and now he only had the strength of the peak Nascent Variation Stage, but he had spent a thousand years in the Immortal Realm, so his bone age was over a thousand years old.
The jade showed that Shen Feng was over a thousand years old, yet only at the peak of the Nascent Variation Stage, so the measured talent certainly wouldn’t be anything impressive!
Xiu Zuixin pursed her lips, watching the lightly glowing jade in Shen Feng’s hand with her beautiful eyes filled with confusion. According to her woman’s intuition, she did not believe Shen Feng’s cultivation talent could be so poor.
The jade, of course, did not display Shen Feng’s bone age of over a thousand years.
He Haichen could be certain that this testing treasure was absolutely undamaged and the results were one hundred percent accurate.
Based on the cultivation talent Shen Feng had tested for, relying on himself, he probably wouldn’t even think of breaking through the peak of the Condensing Immortal Stage in this lifetime—such a feat would be nearly impossible.
As a zither master upgraded their rank, their cultivation level also needed to gradually keep up.
Otherwise, even if one was a Ninth Grade zither master at the Nascent Variation Stage, they could at most help those at the Condensing Immortal Stage, or True Immortals just above that, to enhance their combat strength a bit.
As for helping those who were beyond True Immortals to temporarily enhance their combat strength, that was almost a delusional thought.
After He Haichen composed himself, he transmitted a message to Xiu Zuixin and said, "Girl, it’s such a pity, I didn’t expect his cultivation talent to be so poor."
"However, with the various heavenly materials and earthly treasures of the Middle Realm, if we slowly help him look for them, it’s not impossible for him to break through the Condensing Immortal Stage!"
"It’s just that relying on external help for cultivation is not a long-term solution. Even if he does manage to break through the Condensing Immortal Stage using heavenly materials and earthly treasures, I think the True Immortal Stage will definitely be the end of his cultivation path; he will absolutely be unable to break through beyond the True Immortal Stage."
"A Ninth Grade zither master at the True Immortal Stage would indeed be sufficient for him to live a stable life in the Middle Realm. Starting from tomorrow, I will help him find those heavenly materials and earthly treasures to enhance his cultivation level!"
Xiu Zuixin, with an indifferent tone, transmitted back to He Haichen, "Master, the path of cultivation is unpredictable; just because his talent seems poor now doesn’t mean he can’t soar to great heights in the future!"
"The cultivation journey is full of unknowns; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many geniuses falling before their time."
He Haichen sighed in his heart and transmitted back, "Girl, what you say is true, but a person with such poor talent is almost certain to achieve nothing in cultivation. It may be due to his exceptional talent as a zither master that has caused his cultivation talent to be so dismal."
"If one day his cultivation level advances beyond Condensing Immortal and he steps into the realm of Supreme, a legend among zither masters, he might also find another path."
Regarding the sound transmission conversation between He Haichen and Xiu Zuixin, if Shen Feng had heard it, he would have definitely just smiled faintly!
Only reach the True Immortal Stage?
What a joke!
He would recover to the Immortal Emperor Stage within the shortest time possible, perhaps in a year, maybe even half a year! Or even in a shorter span of time!
