Although there are regulations on titles, it is a trivial matter after all, and few people are willing to take it seriously. Even if they are serious, because there are no established punishment measures, most of them end up being ignored.
Xun Cang knew this and was confident.
Jing Yingrong said: "Taojun Dao's acceptance of disciples is not a child's play. What you said means that he is not worthy of being Daojun's disciple. Isn't Daojun Yunmeng not strict in accepting disciples?"
Just listening to the content of the words, it seems that Jing Yingrong caught the loopholes in Xun Cang's words and deliberately targeted them. However, she had a serious look on her face, with a bit of confusion, but she was asking sincere questions.
"This...I..."
Xun Cang's arrogance suddenly weakened. He looked around at the crowd in panic and said with a guilty conscience: "That's not what I meant. I dare not be disrespectful to Dao Lord. Don't frame others!"
Jing Yingrong's expression became even more confused: "What do you mean?"
"I, what I mean is... he is too weak and will embarrass Dao Lord, yes, that's what I mean."
Jing Yingrong tilted her head and asked in confusion: "Are you better than him?"
"Of course I'm better than him!"
"Then why didn't Lord Yunmeng accept you as his disciple?"
Xun Cang was stunned.
There were snickers of "Pfft" and "Pfft" one after another all around, and everyone looked like they were watching a good show.
Huo Xiumao couldn't help but curl his lips. He lowered his eyes, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.
Jing Yingrong was still waiting for Xun Cang's answer. Xun Cang's face turned blue and red, and he hesitated and couldn't speak.
"You two, are you still leaving?"
The beast master, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, asked aloud.
Huo Xiumao: "I have to leave."
He and Jing Yingrong handed the identity tokens to the beast master. The beast master jumped on the back of the beast, put the two tokens into a depression inscribed with runes in the middle of the beast-binding hoop, and then deducted the contribution points. Return the tokens to both of them.
The Terumimon opened its wide, flat mouth and spit out two bubbles, one large and one small. The small bubble covered the beast master on his back, and the big bubble floated slowly towards Huo Xiumao and Jing Yingrong, soaked their bodies, wrapped them up, and then slowly floated back with them.
The sea beast turned around in the water and raised large white waves. It whipped up its long tail, held the big bubble at the end, and then dived into the sea.
The sea water instantly engulfs the field of vision. Through the transparent bubble film wall, you can clearly watch the ocean world changing from light to dark.
The sea beast is extremely fast and dives into the deep sea in a blink of an eye. Everything was silent, and in the darkness, the dark spots on the back of the sea beast emitted a glistening cold light, illuminating a water area. It was very eye-catching in this dark seabed. Many deep-sea monsters were attracted to it. It was so powerful that it controlled the beast. The master then used the beast-binding hoop to help the Zhaohai beast to escape. If it was weak, the Zhaohai beast would swallow it with its big mouth.
Jing Yingrong looked at the underwater scenery for a while. She withdrew her gaze and landed on Huo Xiumao, who was always silent next to her.
"You're unhappy, why?"
Huo Xiumao was awakened. He looked at the reflection in his glasses, his eyes were half lowered, and he said, "It's nothing."
Jing Yingrong looked at him steadily, and then looked outside again.
From deeper in the sea came a distant and empty sound, like the sound of an undercurrent or the long cry of an ancient beast.
Huo Xiumao suddenly said: "Senior, is there really no way to improve one's bones in this world?"
Jing Yingrong looked back at him.
"Yes," she replied, "it's difficult."
A glimmer of light flashed in Huo Xiumao's eyes: "How difficult is it?"
Jing Yingrong said: "If you use your own strength to improve your bones, it is better to concentrate on cultivation."
Huo Xiumao smiled bitterly: "But my cultivation progress is really too slow."
Jing Yingrong: "It's not very slow."
Huo Xiumao: "That's because I spent all my contribution points on this. Better practice rooms require a lot of contribution points, and only in this way can I maximize my practice efficiency with enough spiritual energy. But -"
His smile was full of bitterness and helplessness, "Even so, my cultivation growth is still not as good as others."
Jing Yingrong thought for a moment and said, "I have already surpassed most people in the world."
"This is all thanks to the training of the sect. Taichu Guan has the most top-notch cultivation techniques and rich cultivation resources. If I can't even compare with most people, I would be a waste."
Huo Xiumao sighed and added: "My mentality is not good for cultivation. Master also said that I pushed myself too hard. However, when I think of revenge, I can't help but be anxious."
Jing Yingrong: "Is your practice just for revenge?"
Huo Xiumao said without hesitation: "That's right."
"What happens after revenge?"
Huo Xiumao was stunned.
For a long time, he murmured in a daze: "I don't know either..."
Jing Yingrong looked away.
Huo Xiumao didn't know what he thought of, his eyes were filled with excitement, his expression changed several times, and then he fell into deep confusion.
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, tearing apart the fog and breaking through the mental barriers.
Huo Xiumao's eyes were as bright as stars and he shouted excitedly: "Senior, I understand what you mean!"
Jing Yingrong: "?"
Huo Xiumao completely ignored Jing Yingrong's doubts and said happily: "I know, I can't take revenge as everything. I embarked on the path of cultivation for revenge, but I can't cultivate just for revenge. If I am too obsessed with this, and I am afraid that I will go crazy, and even if I take revenge in the future, my life will have no meaning."
After finishing this long sentence, he calmed down a little, and looked into the mirror with grateful eyes and said, "Thank you, senior, for your advice!"
Jing Yingrong said with some confusion: "I didn't give you any advice."
Huo Xiumao didn't hear these words because he suddenly touched the boundary of the middle stage of foundation building. The once insurmountable gap was now close at hand, and he had an opportunity to break through. However, it was not the right place right now, so he had to temporarily concentrate on suppressing the fluctuations in spiritual power.
Ji Sha Jian: "Do you mean what he said?"
Jing Yingrong: "No."
Ji Sha Jian: "Then how come he knows? He also knows so much and nothing."
Jing Yingrong: "I don't know."
Jijiebi laughed loudly: "This junior is too enlightened and thinks too much. Instead, he accidentally figured it out."
After Huo Xiumao managed to suppress the rising spiritual power, Xianye Island also arrived.
The sea beast floats on the sea surface, not far away is the port of Yeye Island. Just like the port of Tianqiu City, it is also divided into two sides: foreign ships and sea beasts.
Terumimon swam towards the sea beast and found an empty spot on the shore. It swung its long tail forward, and the big bubble was sent to the shore, and then burst open, revealing the two people inside.
The port is adjacent to Fangshi on Nianye Island. After obtaining Jing Yingrong's consent, Huo Xiumao went to Fangshi to find a practice room and began to retreat and break through.
Jing Yingrong rented a small boat. She stood on the bow of the ship, the lines on the ship's hull lit up, and she carried people leisurely on the sea.
