He looked at the upgrades and felt joy. His hard work was well awarded.

In a single night, he comprehends every cultivation technique and martial arts and also some pill formulas.

Now he had the whole comprehension of his arts. Previously, when he cultivated, even when he circulated the technique perfectly, it won't get close to natural harmony, but now, he was closer to the natural harmony of the technique.

Natural harmony means he can circulate the technique subconsciously. Even not focusing on the technique, he could use it like it was a part of his body.

If he has natural harmony with the cultivation technique, he can cultivate while doing other tasks.

He didn't forget to refine pills. The time was further reduced and he had more than thousands of pills in the bottle. Every alchemy resource has been used up.

He was going to exit the room to talk to the sect master, but someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"Junior brother, are you there?" From the sound, it was none other than the senior brother; Jing Tao.

"Yes, senior brother." Liu Xin was polite and opened the door. Jing Tao was a foundation-building cultivator who was in the mid-level.

Liu Xin was a low-level Foundation Building Cultivator. So Jing Tao showed a shocked expression when he saw Liu Xin and felt his aura.

"You have advanced to the foundation-building stage. Congrats!" Jing Tao smiled immediately and handed a bottle to him. "Take this as my gift."

Liu Xin knew the pill from its aura. It was Foundation Mending Pill. While this pill value was a little high, Liu Xin could refine it easily.

And the quality was also low, Liu Xin was confident the foundation mending pill would be of the top tier if he refined it. With such a cheat, does he need to buy pills or take pills as gifts? Of course, he didn't reject the gift and cupped his hand.

Liu Xin smiled gently. "Thank you, senior brother." He stored the pill in the storage bag.

"Why are you here?" Liu Xin asked.

"Oh, I nearly forgot. I was here to inform you about the Annual Clan Competition. This is one of the major events in this sect and participation is mandatory."

"Oh." Liu Xin was surprised. He didn't know anything about the competition. "Please tell me more about it."

"Of course, that's why I am here." Before continuing the conversation, Liu Xin sat on the bed and Jing Tao sat on a chair as it would have been awkward to chat while standing.

"Ahem. The annual Clan Competition is divided into two parts, Outer Battle and Inner Battle. Outer Battle means a battle between outer sect disciples while inner battle means a battle between inner sect disciples. Also, we sect master disciple which is the core disciples have separate duels. So you don't have to worry about other battles. If you are free then you can watch the battle and bet on competitors." Jing Tao said. "The competition will start the day after tomorrow and will last for a week. The last day is our time. So, be prepared."

After explaining about the Clan Competition, Jing Tao stood and take his leave. Liu Xin wanted to brew tea but he didn't get a chance to.

Shaking his head, he also exited the building and searched the sect master. Not long later, he found him in his own office sitting leisurely.

"Greeting, Sect master."

"Why are you here?" Li Hongzhi asked.

"I am here to deliver pills." He handed the bottles of pills. They were varieties of pills from healing, buffing, and even some poison pills.

Each one of them was the top-quality pill. Li Hongzhi's eyes widened but he immediately calmed. He had gotten used to getting top-quality pills.

"Anyway, did Jing Tao explain to you about the sect competition?" He asked.

"Yes, master." Liu Xin replied.

"Ok then, train well." With that, Liu Xin left the room.

He arrived at the training room which was specifically for core disciples. He thought there would be everyone but when he entered, only Leng Fei.

Her silver hair fluttered as she held the bow and targeted the dummies which were 100m far from her. Without even wasting a second, she released the arrow.

The arrow hit the centre. She was proficient in the bow, as she didn't even waste her breath and took another arrow immediately firing at another board.

It took only ten seconds for her to fire five arrows which hit the centre of the round board.

Her figure wasn't bad and she was beautiful too. She looked extremely pretty when she held the bow.

When she noticed Liu Xin, she didn't even greet him. But as she was going to look at the Bow, her eyes widened a bit.

She again looked at Liu Xin and hundreds of question marks hovered above her. She wanted to ignore him but she couldn't hold her curiosity and approached him.

"Hey." She didn't even greet him properly.

"Good morning, senior sister."Liu Xin greeted her properly.

"How did you advance so quickly?" She stares at him. Just the last time she saw him, he was nothing more than mid-level of the qi refining stage.

But now, he was at the foundation-building stage! In just someday, he advanced by one major realm! This was something of a talent that even large sects lacked.

Even though she was at the peak of the Qi Refining Stage, she would need some time to step into Foundation Building Stage. At its lowest, it would take a month or two, and at its highest, it would take a year for her to break through.

But this lad, just broke through in some days, if this wasn't monstrous then nothing would be.

"Umm, maybe I am just talented, so." Liu Xin also didn't know what to say. He can't just say I perfected many cultivation techniques in just an hour which caused my cultivation to soar.

Well, he didn't bother to say that. Leng Fei was speechless but sighed. This was truly a monstrous talent.

"If senior sister is free, then please help me train." Liu Xin requested.

Leng Fei was going to reject but Liu Xin took out a pill bottle. "If senior sister agrees, I can give you this."

Top Quality Lower Grade Advancement Pill.

"Of course, as your senior, I will help you." She didn't smile and her cold face was still there.

But she took the pill and face him.
