Turning his head, Xiao Yefeng saw the crowd outside, and under the Yin-Yang Eye, he was astonished to find that outside the house was a field of Golden Rice, glowing with an Azure Glow! Upon closer inspection, Xiao Yefeng realized that this radiance was a manifestation of these people's cultivation paths.
Just like his own Golden Cyan dual radiance, those who practiced Confucian Righteousness emitted a golden light, while those who cultivated Taoist Vital Energy shone with a cyan glow. Martial Arts practitioners radiated a faint golden light resembling mist. Among them, Xiao Yefeng noticed two beams of serene light; this light was neither gold nor cyan but had a gentle luster. Just a fleeting glance made Xiao Yefeng feel an immense sense of peace, and the malevolent energy he had accumulated over the years seemed to dissipate significantly.
Upon seeing these two beams of peaceful light, Xiao Yefeng immediately understood that they were emanating from Buddhism's Auspicious Aura. The identities of these two individuals were self-evident—High Monks of Buddhism, the last of the Three Teachings that Xiao Yefeng had never encountered before.
Xiao Yefeng's movement caught Jiang Xing's attention, raising his eyebrows as he pushed the door open and asked, "Feng! How do you feel?"
"President!" Xiao Yefeng stood up in response.
"Tell everyone to head back! Old Li, Old Cao, you two stay!" Jiang Xing instructed Zhou Dao.
The group had already prepared their words, but they did not expect Jiang Xing to dismiss everyone so directly. His actions were quite appropriate; since he had already announced Xiao Yefeng's identity, it was inevitable that people would come to curry favor. As the heir of the President, it was essential for him to remain completely neutral. While these individuals were undoubtedly core members of the Metaphysics Society, Jiang Xing believed it was better for them to have less contact with Xiao Yefeng at this stage, as he still lacked sufficient strength.
"Dual Cultivation of Confucianism and Daoism? Brother Xiao really dares to tread this path! It's a difficult road!" Li Xiangjun spoke first upon entering.
"Exactly! But Bro, your martial arts are somewhat wasted. If you ever have questions in the future, come find me. I may not know much else, but I do have some insights into martial arts!" Cao Man said with his usual enthusiasm. However, Xiao Yefeng could sense flattery in their words.
Although he had entered Inner Force and was on par with them in level, calling each other brothers felt somewhat exaggerated. After all, he guessed he was around twenty years old while these two were at least a hundred. Moreover, Xiao Yefeng knew that both had four generations in their families; he had even met Li Xiangjun's youngest daughter when she was three years old. Last time they met, Li Xiangjun had asked him to call her niece—what should he do now?
"Um, seniors, it's not quite appropriate to address me like that!" Xiao Yefeng stepped back to avoid their flattery and glanced at Jiang Xing.
However, this time Jiang Xing said nothing while Li Xiangjun continued, "Bro, you don't understand. In learning, there is no distinction between senior and junior; those who achieve mastery are teachers. Since you've entered True Spirit and condensed your Spirit, technically speaking, those who haven't condensed their Spirit in Inner Force should call you senior. Us calling you Bro is already taking advantage of your youth!"
Li Xiangjun's words sent shivers down Xiao Yefeng's spine—taking advantage of his youth? That would mean several decades! Nevertheless, being quick-witted as he was, Xiao Yefeng waved his hand and said, "I really can't accept that!"
Jiang Xing interjected, "Alright Feng, no need for pleasantries. This is the rule of our circle; Old Li is right—those who achieve mastery are teachers. Now that you've taken this step forward, you must accept your new identity. You'll gradually get used to these things. For now, we need to discuss something important among the three of us!"
Jiang Xing's words and Cao Li's changing expressions caught Xiao Yefeng off guard. Just moments ago, the two had been somewhat cordial, but now their faces were serious. Confused, Xiao Yefeng asked, "President? Do you have something to discuss with me? Am I really that important?"
"Very important!"
"Extremely important!"
Cao Man and Li Xiangjun spoke in unison, while Jiang Xing nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Xiao Yefeng inquired, "What is it?"
"To be honest, this matter began with your battle against Xianhe Daoist at Flower Mountain Park! By the time I arrived, Xianhe Daoist was already dead. This is your Seven Star Needle!" Jiang Xing said as he took out Xiao Yefeng's Seven Star Needle from his pocket and handed it to him.
Receiving the Seven Star Needle, Xiao Yefeng asked in confusion, "President, was this in the last secret chamber?" He had already understood when Jiang Xing mentioned Flower Mountain Park; it was clear that Jiang Xing must have found something in the last stone chamber that Xianhe Daoist had not entered. Otherwise, so many unfamiliar powerful figures wouldn't have appeared. Just from the light outside the ward moments ago, Xiao Yefeng realized those people were likely the true strength of the Metaphysics Society.
"That's right. In the last secret chamber, I obtained a cultivation method called Spirit Refinement and Body Forging Technique. This is an ancient technique that can be used for both Martial Arts Cultivation and spiritual cultivation! Since returning to Beijing North, I've been eager to gather all Inner Force level individuals in the country for a meeting to discuss whether this extraordinary technique should be fully shared with the members of the Metaphysics Society," Jiang Xing explained.
Upon hearing Jiang Xing's account, Xiao Yefeng understood that the Spirit Refinement and Body Forging Technique was likely the final inheritance left by their ancestors in the stone chamber. His own consciousness was the true inheritance. At this moment, having successfully advanced and received the true legacy from his ancestor, Xiao Yefeng felt no particular need for the Spirit Refinement and Body Forging Technique. Noticing Jiang Xing's expression, he said, "Since it's a method effective for everyone, I suggest we distribute it. However, it shouldn't be free; only those who reach a certain level of points should be able to access it. Additionally, I recommend dividing it into sections!"
Xiao Yefeng's suggestion made Jiang Xing nod repeatedly. His thoughts aligned perfectly with Xiao Yefeng's ideas, which delighted him greatly. Moreover, Xiao Yefeng's ability to make such a swift decision pleased Jiang Xing even more; it showed that Xiao Yefeng was decisive and efficient—qualities essential for a leader. At that moment, Jiang Xing truly regarded Xiao Yefeng as a successor of the next generation!
The four of them chatted for quite some time before Jiang Xing took Cao Li and left. Throughout their conversation, three of them explained to Xiao Yefeng about the world of Inner Force level individuals. It turned out to be just as he had realized during his enlightenment of Dao Heart: this world was chaotic; ordinary laws could no longer restrain these individuals. The only laws applicable to them were mutual surveillance.
One fundamental rule was that they could not harm ordinary people; this was an unbreakable principle and an insurmountable chasm. Beyond that, as long as they did not go too far, these individuals were no longer bound by constraints.
Holding the spirit stone given by Jiang Xing, Xiao Yefeng intended to cultivate when suddenly Mei Yulou walked in. Compared to others, Xiao Yefeng held great respect for this elder. Upon seeing Mei Yulou enter, he immediately put away his cultivation posture and stood up to greet him.
After Mei Yulou sat down beside him, he said, "Feng, don't be so polite. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to enter the true Metaphysics Society. Let me share some good news: I have officially become an internal member of the Metaphysics Society! I owe it all to you!"
As they say, when water rises, boats rise too; no one could have anticipated Xiao Yefeng's rapid growth. As a guide, Mei Yulou naturally advanced as well—from an outer member directly into the inner core—a remarkably swift upgrade. However, at that moment, Xiao Yefeng noticed that Mei Yulou seemed to have other matters at hand; there was a corner of red peeking out from his pocket—it looked like an invitation card.
As an experienced figure, Mei Yulou directly pulled out the invitation upon seeing Xiao Yefeng discover it. "Actually, if you hadn't woken up today, I would have left. Since you're awake now, I'll hand this invitation over to you!"
Taking the invitation, Xiao Yefeng asked, "Old man, whose invitation is this? With your status, you still need to deliver invitations for others?"
Once Xiao Yefeng opened it, he was taken aback. Then he exclaimed in surprise, "What’s going on? Yiyi is getting engaged? Who is this Robert? What about Lu Zhan? Isn't he Yiyi's boyfriend? Besides, why didn't Lu Zhan stop this?"
"It's complicated! That girl Liu Qing has really messed up this time in the international arena!" Mei Yulou sighed.
"Aunt Qing? Is this related to her?" Xiao Yefeng asked in confusion.
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng's mind was in chaos. What was happening? When he met Liu Yiyi at the Golden House Courtyard, she hadn’t shown any strange behavior. It had only been less than a week; how could she be getting engaged already? And with a foreigner he didn’t even know!
Then Xiao Yefeng learned everything from Mei Yulou. It turned out that everything started four years ago. At that time, Xiao Yefeng was at a critical juncture of transforming from Pseudo Spirit to True Spirit. Meanwhile, Liu Qing, the head of one of the Four Great Families of China, was negotiating a deal internationally. How significant could this deal be?
To put it bluntly, the entire wealth of the Liu Family wasn’t enough for the capital needed for this transaction. Yet what kind of deal could require so much that even one of the Four Great Families dominating China couldn’t afford it? This was information that Mei Yulou had only recently obtained.
Liu Qing seemed to have been bewitched; suddenly and against all advice, she signed a contract for mineral development. Any discerning person could see that it was a trap, yet Liu Qing, who had navigated the business world for decades, jumped right into it. After signing the first contract, she quickly realized something was off. By the third contract, Liu Qing had foolishly signed a compensation agreement that cost Liu Yiyi’s engagement.
Thus, Liu Yiyi was unwittingly married off by Liu Qing without knowing anything. At this moment, the Liu Family in Beijing North was in utter chaos. The head of the family, Liu Qing, sat expressionless in her chair. Unlike her usual self, her complexion was pale and cold. No one dared to speak in the presence of those seated around her. Finally, Liu Qing's assistant—a man with a grim expression and clenched fists—could no longer hold back and slammed his hand on the table as he stood up.
