I can identify everything, but this is an upgraded version of identification.

In the following period, Su Changming did not miss a single class, and was the first to arrive at the Transmission Hall every day, and the first to leave when the bell rang.

Although they were always in class, they were doing other things.

Such as making talismans... puppets... formations.

Luo Xinyun, who sat next to him, was mostly focused on listening to the Seventh Elder's lecture, but she would still occasionally observe what Su Changming was doing.

After seeing the other party researching things like formations, he thought Su Changming was completely wasting his talent.

She also told him that the great paths are difficult to grasp and cannot be mastered simply by studying them casually.

However, Su Changming just smiled and didn't say anything more, continuing to ponder on his own.

Upon seeing this, Luo Xinyun immediately felt that Su Changming was an unreasonable person.

Although the two shared the same table every day, they barely exchanged a few words in the morning and evening.

Their feelings for each other have even grown increasingly distant.

"Seventh Elder, may I ask if Su Changming is present?"

Suddenly one day, a man dressed in gold walked into the Hall of Merit Cultivation and asked the Seventh Elder a question.

Although it was a question, the moment he entered the main hall, he turned his gaze to Su Changming.

"Can't you see it's class time? Get out of here right now!"

However, to the man's surprise, the Seventh Elder did not give him any face and instead rebuked him sternly.

The man in gold was stunned for a moment, then blushed slightly.

"This disciple knows his mistake..."

He hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.

"If you are interested, find a seat anywhere; if you are not interested, wait outside the main hall."

The Seventh Elder said calmly.

"Yes……"

Upon hearing this, the man in gold quickly found a spot.

"Senior Brother Song, what brings you here?"

The man in golden robes was none other than Song Zong, a disciple of the current sect leader of the Flowing Cloud Sect.

"My master said that he would formally accept me as his disciple only when I can defeat you..."

Emperor Song's eyes shone brightly as he spoke.

"..."

Su Changming immediately fell silent.

He discovered that the sect leader really enjoyed teasing him.

The first time, he was prevented from participating in the inner sect competition; the second time, Song Zong was made to compete against him.

He gained nothing from winning against Song Zong, but if he lost, he would obviously face punishment from his master, He Chongguang.

He will definitely use this pretext to get me to join him in his secluded cultivation at Zizhu Peak.

My master mentioned this matter a couple of days ago, but I declined because I needed to refine pills.

We can't lose, but we also can't easily give in...

"Senior Brother Song, my cultivation is weak, why me of all people?"

Su Changming feigned doubt.

"I don't understand either, but after mentioning my junior brother, Master said with a serious expression, 'You might not be his match.'"

Junior brother, you must have some extraordinary qualities to earn such high praise from our master.

Song Zong said sincerely.

"The sect leader is joking. I know my own strength; I'm no match for my senior brother..."

Su Changming replied just as sincerely.

"In that case, I'll do you a favor and have a friendly spar with you, senior brother. What do you say?"

Emperor Song asked.

Su Changming immediately looked troubled.

"Enough, Song Zong. If you wish to spar, I am happy to oblige."

Seeing that Song Zong was making things difficult for Su Changming, Luo Xinyun could no longer hold back and spoke up.

"Who do we have here? It's just a defeated opponent..."

When Emperor Song saw Luo Xinyun, his gaze instantly turned cold.

Six months ago, this person went crazy trying to challenge himself.

The master also said that he could not flee the battle, and that if he lost, he would disown him as his disciple.

This almost scared him half to death.

He immediately ordered his clan to send over pills and high-grade spiritual artifacts.

With his cultivation level soaring to the eleventh level of Qi Refining and the aid of a top-grade spiritual weapon, he easily defeated Luo Xinyun.

However, he also suffered from poisoning due to the pills, which delayed his cultivation for a long time. He was also scolded by the clan elders and his master several times for seeking spiritual artifacts.

Therefore, he already regarded Luo Xinyun as an enemy in his heart.

If this madman hadn't insisted on challenging him, why would he have bothered seeking elixirs to break through his limits?

"Heh... If you hadn't recklessly taken drugs and relied on your superior cultivation level to suppress others, do you think you could have defeated me?"

Luo Xinyun snorted disdainfully.

No one stipulates that one cannot use large amounts of elixirs in cultivation.

But in order to defeat her, Song Zong actually broke through from the ninth level of Qi Refining to the eleventh level in half a year, which was truly unexpected.

Despite her immense magical power and all her methods, she was ultimately defeated.

The Luo family is quite powerful, but still somewhat inferior to the Song family.

Moreover, the Luo family is very far away from the Liuyun Sect, while the Song family has a family elder located in the Liuyun Sect.

That elder seems to be... the Seventh Elder?

"How can you be so noisy during class?"

All three of you stay after class!

The Seventh Elder spoke sternly from the platform.

Immediately, the three people below who disliked each other fell silent.

"Song Zong, you tell me, what do you want with Su Changming?"

After the Enlightenment Bell rang, the Seventh Elder led Su Changming and the other two to the back mountain of the Transmission Hall.

"Uncle, Master said that as long as I can defeat Junior Brother Su, he can accept me as a formal disciple."

Emperor Song took a deep breath and said.

"Oh? So you rushed into the Transmission Hall in such a panic because of this?"

The Seventh Elder's face instantly turned cold.

"And how many times have I told you, in the Flowing Cloud Sect, you can't call me Uncle! You've lost all your contribution points for this month!"

The Seventh Elder continued.

"ah?!"

Emperor Song looked completely bewildered.

Why is my uncle in such a bad mood today?

"So the Seventh Elder is a member of the Song family."

Su Changming said upon hearing this.

"It is precisely because of the family's kindness that I have achieved the Foundation Establishment stage, and now I have no choice but to take care of the younger generation of the clan."

The Seventh Elder shook his head helplessly.

Seeing Su Changming and the Seventh Elder chatting happily, Song Zong was somewhat puzzled.

Why are Junior Brother Su and his uncle so close?

He always felt a strange sense of tension when talking to his uncle, so he envied Su Changming for being able to communicate with the Seventh Elder on an equal footing.

"Seventh Elder, please allow Junior Brother Su to fight me..."

The next moment, Song Zong gritted his teeth and spoke.

"How dare you! Your battle with Changming requires Changming's own will. How can you decide it because of me?"

"Song Zong, do you perhaps think that just because I am a member of the Song family, you can exercise the rights of an elder of the Flowing Cloud Sect?"

The Seventh Elder said coldly.

"That's not what I meant..."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Song's face immediately turned panicked.

"Changming, are you willing to fight against Emperor Song?"

The Seventh Elder spoke gently.

Although somewhat displeased with Song Zong's recklessness, the Seventh Elder still inquired.

"I have recently achieved a breakthrough, and my energy is not yet stable. I wonder if I could recuperate for a month?"

Upon hearing this, Su Changming looked troubled.

"Very well, since that's the case, then young friend Su need not force himself. Song Zong, did you hear that? Come find young friend Su again in a month."

Come back to the Song family home with me.

The Seventh Elder nodded, summoned the spirit shuttle, and took Song Zongyuan away.
