Primordial Emperor

"Master, please forgive me. I dare not do it again. I was astonished to hear that your breakthrough in cultivation was all thanks to the Grandmaster, hence I misspoke. Disciple realizes her mistake," Zhuang Xiaoqin looked at Wang Tong and hurriedly bowed, admitting her error.

Wang Tong's attitude made Zhuang Xiaoqin fully understand Lin Chen's position in their Master's heart.

It seems that their Master's respect and discipleship to Lin Chen are not just due to teaching and imparting knowledge but truly heartfelt.

How could Zhuang Xiaoqin and Qiu Yue have known that after Lin Chen left today, Wang Tong returned to the secret chamber for seclusion and integrated what Lin Chen taught about the mysteries of spiritual formations, realizing that Lin Chen mastered the most original mysteries of ancient spiritual formations?

Such mysteries far exceeded Wang Tong's knowledge, and only then did Wang Tong realize the vast gap between him and Lin Chen in the way of spiritual formations.

Looking at the two girls admitting their mistakes, Wang Tong sighed heavily.

He knew well that as his disciples, the two girls had superior backgrounds and extraordinary talents, so they were somewhat proud and arrogant. Now being subordinate to someone much younger and with lower cultivation, their hearts found it hard to accept.

But if the two girls could reach his level, they would know how outrageous Lin Chen's attainments in spiritual formations were.

"You must listen well today. From now on, you must show utmost respect to your Grandmaster, more than you do to me, especially you, Qiu Yue. You've been spoiled by me and your senior sister since childhood, acting willfully and without restraint. With your disposition, you could easily displease the Grandmaster."

"To others, your temperament doesn't concern me, but towards the Grandmaster, you must not be arrogant or capricious. If I find out, I will not be lenient," Wang Tong looked at Qiu Yue and coldly warned.

He was not joking. If Lin Chen were displeased and no longer taught the mysteries of spiritual formations, who would Wang Tong cry to?

"I won't dare!" Qiu Yue listened to Wang Tong's icy words and warnings and immediately responded in a soft and compliant manner, her heart filled with terror.

She knew that while her Master could be stern, he had never been this terrifying.

Swallow—

Qiu Yue swallowed her saliva, secretly relieved she hadn't disclosed what happened with Lin Chen today, revealing Lin Chen's true face.

The respect their Master showed Lin Chen scared her into thinking that revealing this would surely lead to her own punishment.

Seeing Qiu Yue and Zhuang Xiaoqin subdued by him, Wang Tong finally nodded in satisfaction. It wasn't that he wanted to scold the two girls, but he worried they might belittle Lin Chen due to his low cultivation and mistakenly believe Wang Tong became his disciple just to obtain spiritual formation mysteries.

"Alright, don't be too constrained. I was merely warning you, not actually intent on punishment."

"Xiaoqin, you accomplished a great deed this time. Let's move past what just happened. Your contribution in introducing him is notable, and rewards will not be lacking."

"Tell me, what reward do you desire?" Wang Tong asked Zhuang Xiaoqin, who appeared to be in good spirits.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Xiaoqin shook her head.

"Introducing Lin Chen to Master was within my duty as a disciple. Master's breakthrough was due to his strong comprehension ability and outstanding talent. I dare not claim credit," Zhuang Xiaoqin said gently, looking at Wang Tong.

"Ah, I told you, let's leave the past be and not hold onto it."

"Since you don't speak up, I will reward you with the congratulatory gift just sent by Old Man Duan." Wang Tong said lightly, looking at Zhuang Xiaoqin, and then with a lift of his hand, a spiritual longsword emitting flowing light appeared.

The sword's blade was cyan, and its aura was mysterious and powerful, indicating it was not ordinary, having reached the top seventh rank.

To know such a treasured sword, if taken to the market for auction, would undoubtedly be priceless, attracting many Creation Realm experts to vie for it.

After all, even for a Creation Realm expert, using a seventh-rank lower-grade magic treasure is considered luxurious; this is a top seventh-rank treasured sword.

"Such a treasured sword, how can I, as a disciple, be worthy of such a reward? Master, this is too precious." Zhuang Xiaoqin immediately said, looking at the cyan long sword in Wang Tong's hand.

She gazed at the sword with gleaming eyes but dared not accept, feeling it unearned.

Zhuang Xiaoqin was also shocked in her heart. This sword was so precious, yet Wang Tong intended to reward her with it.

"You accept it if the Master gives it to you. Though it is precious, compared to me, it is nothing," Wang Tong said lightly.

With that, he waved his hand, tossing the sword to Zhuang Xiaoqin.

The sword flew through the air toward Zhuang Xiaoqin, who hurriedly reached out to catch it.

Grasping the long sword, Zhuang Xiaoqin sensed the powerful aura within, her heart filled with joy. Just by sensing a wisp of the sword's aura, Zhuang Xiaoqin felt its terrible power.

"Is this the top seventh rank magic artifact?" Zhuang Xiaoqin thought excitedly.

She had no seventh-rank magic artifact, with the strongest being at the sixth rank peak. Now obtaining a seventh-rank magic artifact, and directly a top seventh rank, how could she not be excited?

"Thank you, Master, for the treasure!" Zhuang Xiaoqin quickly thanked once she received the cyan long sword.

Zhuang Xiaoqin infused it with spiritual power, feeling the terrifying power in the sword. Just from a single sword intent, Zhuang Xiaoqin felt she could instantly defeat an ordinary Creation Realm expert.

"This Green Rainbow Sword was crafted by Old Man Duan after recently breaking through his refining bottleneck. It surpasses any artifact he previously made, its power immense. You must refine it well and not let such an exotic treasure go to waste in your hands," Wang Tong advised Zhuang Xiaoqin lightly.

"Yes, Master." Zhuang Xiaoqin responded earnestly, holding the long sword.

"This breakthrough of mine owes much to the Grandmaster's guidance. The Grandmaster does not wish for others to know our relationship. I dare not appear myself, afraid of inviting much trouble. Tomorrow, go to the Yellow Hall for me, and present some of these magic treasures to your Grandmaster," Wang Tong said cheerfully.

"What treasures does Master wish to send to the Grandmaster?" Zhuang Xiaoqin nodded, looking around the great hall and inquiring of Wang Tong.
