You're Professionals!

The rain disappeared as abruptly as it appeared. Ten minutes later, the sun was once again shining bright in the sky.

After some struggle, Chen Yu and Zhao Ruoxu stood up only to realize that they had depleted their spiritual aura reserves. They felt so weak that they could barely speak.

They looked at their Grand Uncle-Master once more. Not only was he perfectly fine, but he also seemed even more energetic than before. In their hearts, their admiration for him grew even stronger.

"The weather in this cultivation world is just weird…" Su Yin Muttered. He looked at the two men and could not help but ask, "To make me leave seclusion, has something happened in the sect?"

"It's like this…" Forcing himself to hold back his fatigue, Chen Yu hurriedly explained everything.

As Elder Wu Yuan's direct disciple, he was responsible for inviting his Grand Uncle-Master out of seclusion. Even though the matter of the demise of the Sect Leader and the others was confidential, he still knew a little about it and he understood the Elders' intent.

"… Master's intent is very simple."

"We hope that the Grand Uncle-Master can pretend to be a powerful master, and temporarily take the place of the Sect Leader to reassure the people…"

"Pretend to be a powerful master?" Su Yin was dumbfounded.

Are you guys serious?

If he had some cultivation or was somewhat powerful. It was fine to pretend.

He was not powerful at all, how was he to pretend?

It was easier said than done to pretend as a powerful master.

If something went wrong, then he could die!

"The sect's survival is at stake. We hope Grand Uncle-Master will not reject us…" Chen Yu and Zhao Ruoxu bowed deeply.

Previously, they thought that asking this Grand Uncle-Master who was younger than them to leave his seclusion might not be enough to intimidate those forces. However, now that they had seen how powerful he was, they became filled with confidence.

We can all see how powerful you are… there is no need to keep a low profile anymore!

Su Yin was speechless.

According to what they had said, the Immortal Guardian Sect was in a dangerous situation.

He had no choice but to pretend to be a so-called powerful master!

As the one with the highest position in the sect, if the sect was actually destroyed. He would be the first one to perish.

What a depressing situation!

It has been ten years since he transmigrated into this world, yet he still hadn't started his journey of cultivation.

He was not even at Class 1 of the Gathering Breath Realm, and he needed to pretend to be a powerful master the moment he came out of seclusion?

Are these people serious?

I want to be a powerful master, but unfortunately… I'm not one, yet!

"How about this…"

After a moment of contemplation, Su Yin gritted his teeth and said, "I can pretend to be a powerful master, but I have a request. That is… all those in the know must cooperate with me."

"I cannot do this alone!"

"Grand Uncle-Master, don't worry!" Chen Yu hurriedly nodded, "This is also the intention of the elders."

"That's good then."

Relieved, Su Yin couldn't help but look at them. "What kind of techniques do you cultivate? Can I take a look?"

He had to first find out what techniques his sect had and study them.

Otherwise, it would only be a matter of time before someone saw through him.

"Uncle-Master, I cultivate the 'Cloud Sea Technique', and Senior Brother Ruoxu cultivates the 'Six Profound Skill'. They are both lower Black-Level techniques!"

Chen Yu and Zhao Ruoxu were excited.

Did Grand Uncle-Master ask because he wanted to give them some pointers?

Disregarding their thoughts, Su Yin casually flipped open the technique book he was handed and looked at its pages.

Skill techniques, martial arts techniques, and cultivation were divided into four different levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Each level was also divided into four small classes: peak, upper, middle, and lower.

Ordinary sect disciples only trained till Yellow Level middle class. Upper class cultivation techniques could only be directly imparted by the Elders.

The Cloud Sea Technique might not be one of the most powerful in the Immortal Guardian Sect, but cultivating it gave one's essence a sense of majesty. Like the turbulent sea of clouds; its flow would become boundless and continuous. This technique was similar to a door where one could expand their sea of Qi and fortify their dantian.

As for the Six Profound Skill, it refined one's true essence, making its power purer than average.

There was a vast difference between the two sets of techniques, but both could greatly increase one's cultivation strength.

He quickly read through the pages.

Although Su Yin had never come into contact with a cultivation technique, he had plenty of experience with piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, and such. As a result, he was able to easily read and understand the content, but…

He could not cultivate it!

Take the Cloud Sea Technique as an example. Following the method described, he absorbed spiritual energy and tried circulating it. But he immediately felt the pores of his body close tightly in disdain. They were not willing to open up at all.

It was the same for the Six Profound Skill…

Returning the mantra books despondently, Su Yin wanted to cry.

No wonder those soul remnants did not teach him any cultivation techniques.

Average and readily-available techniques were really not suitable for him.

"Grand Uncle-Master!"

Seeing that he had finished reading, Chen Yu and Zhao Ruoxu looked at him in excitement.

"…"

Realizing what they were trying to imply, Su Yin's face twitched.

Although he was unwilling to pretend to be an expert, he could not die socially when he had just come out from seclusion… especially in front of his two juniors from the next generation!

After a moment of silence, Su Yin pushed ahead stubbornly, "Cultivation requires more reading and more thinking! Let's just talk about these two manuals. Have you guys really looked at it carefully and studied it thoroughly?"

"Uh…"

After a brief moment of dumbfounded silence, the two doubtfully opened the books in their hands.

Cultivation was not child's play…

From the time they started cultivating, they had read the pages of the book in their hands no less than a hundred times. They knew each and every word inside. How could it be possible that there were some parts that they had missed?

"This is…"

Chen Yu froze all of a sudden; his body trembled.

This book in front of him that he had read through so often—suddenly had an additional sliver of Sage's Truth in it when he looked at it again!

Sage's Truth was a saint's comprehension and understanding of the Great Dao. Each sliver represented the obscure truth of the "Dao". It was extremely precious, far more than any spiritual power or treasure.

It was a supreme cultivation treasure.

How did he not see it before?

It must have been just put in by Grand Uncle-Master!

No wonder he said they did not look at it carefully and did not study it thoroughly… so this was his intent!

It seemed that the so-called masquerade had already begun.

And he was not pretending to be a powerful master, he was the real deal!

With such a powerful Grand Uncle-Master holding the fort, the Immortal Guardian Sect would not only not be destroyed, but it would also become stronger…

I have been enlightened!

Grand Uncle-Master, thank you…

Filled with excitement, Chen Yu hurriedly controlled his spirit, extending it to the Sage's Truth in the book. In an instant, his soul merged with the "Dao"!

Boom!

A copious amount of spiritual energy gathered. The energy that had been expended in the rain earlier recovered immediately. Not only that, but the cultivation within him also seemed to show signs of breaking through.

Just this sliver of Sage's Truth alone was worth three months of his hard work!

It was terrifying!

It was not just him. Zhao Ruoxu also found something different in his book. He started deciphering it. His spiritual energy quickly gathered and his cultivation recovered.

In just a few minutes, both their auras had increased greatly and they had become much more powerful.

"This…"

He had just uttered some nonsense and the two people not only did not question him but instead began cultivating. Seeing the increase in their power, Su Yin was touched.

Was this the so-called preview of their acting?

He had just mentioned that he needed people to cooperate with him, and they…

They cooperated really well!

In terms of acting, you guys are professionals.

Say no more, I want to give you guys the S-card!
