Shi Lang did not know about the movement around him and kept channeling spiritual energy through his body. The changes were quick, and his foundation was deepening with every second. The disciples around him were all paying attention to his changes.

Shi Lang's skin was turning transparent, and his blood was turning golden. This was the second level of the immortal physique realm: Jade skin and golden blood. The people watched for an hour and gradually saw that the bones were turning golden too. Although the change was subtle, it was evident.

One of the disciples said, "Why are his golden bones looking so glassy?"

The man from earlier said, "You all probably do not understand. He is turning his jade bones into golden jade bones."

eaglesnov?1,сoМ The people were shocked and exclaimed, "Senior Brother Kang, are you kidding? Look at this kid. He is just stepping into his twenties, and his strength is not that big. How could he have survived this much pain?"

Kang shook his head and said, "I do not know, but my eyes do not lie."

Kang was the strongest and most experienced cultivator in the room, so they had to believe in his knowledge. Shi Lang's body sank slightly to the floor as the people discussed. His skin began to peel away, revealing a layer that seemed to be made of marble.

The phenomenon did not stop here. Shi Lang began to refine the spiritual energy in his dantian. This realm was called the Immortal Spirit realm. The spiritual energy gathered in his dantian and fused with the already present energy. The people were surprised to see his speed, but Shi Lang controlled his situation.

Kang said, "Leave and inform the Third Mistress. At this pace, he might encounter Spirit deviation."

The people rushed away quickly. Kang was the only one who stayed behind to monitor Shi Lang. He could not understand what was happening with this guy and why he was in such a hurry. Did he not fear death? Did he not fear being disabled?

All the questions churned in his mind as he watched Shi Lang elevate his cultivation at a maddening pace.

...

At this moment, in the eastern wing of the house, Yu Jing was sorting a batch of herbs for pill refinement when a disciple from the cultivation room rushed over and knocked on the door of her workshop.

She frowned and opened the door to see a young man who bowed and said, "Third Mistress, please hurry. Senior Brother Kang told us to call you. A new disciple is going under Spiritual deviation."

Yu Jing was shocked and said, "Tell me all you know on the way."

It did not take them more than five minutes to rush between the two places, but a crowd was already gathered around the cultivation room. Yu Jing condensed her aura and said, "Move aside."

The people moved instinctively, and Yu Jing rushed inside the cultivation room. She found Kang staring at the disciple with his eyes wide open. When she was about to ask him what happened, she heard a dull booming sound from the side. Turning her head, the lady found Shi Lang sitting on the floor and his spiritual aura climbing.

Shi Lang had already finished refining all the spiritual energy inside his dantian. Now what he needed was to condense this spiritual energy into spirit liquid. However, he sensed a strong presence around him and put aside the matter of cultivating for a moment. Shi Lang opened his eyes and was surprised to find Yu Jing standing before him.

He asked, "Third Mistress, did I do anything wrong?"

Yu Jing asked, "Lang, how do you feel? Your spiritual aura was climbing higher, and the people thought you had entered spiritual deviation."

Shi Lang was surprised and said, "No, Third Mistress, there has been some mistake. I am fine."

Yu Jing looked at him and asked, "Hold your hand."

Shi Lang stood up and stretched out his hand. The lady created a thread from her spirit energy and wrapped it around Shi Lang's wrist. She measured his pulse and said, "Indeed, you are fine. Can you tell me what is happening with your shooting cultivation realm?"

Shi Lang sighed and said, "That is the issue? My spiritual energy is rising as I only trace my steps with a higher quality spiritual energy. As I practice, I am optimizing the way I cultivate."

Surprised, Yu Jing asked, "Can you tell me what it is?"

Shi Lang nodded and was about to tell her why when the lady said, "Wait. Come to my chambers after you have finished cultivating. I should not disrupt your pace."

The young man was surprised by her consideration and nodded. He said, "Thank you."

Yu Jing nodded and waved her hand for Shi Lang to continue cultivating. The young man followed her instructions, and the lady said, "Kang, follow me."

Kang woke up from his daze and followed her out of the room. Yu Jing said, "This room is not to be disturbed for now. Also, that new disciple is Shi Lang. He is new, and his technique is a bit different. Look after him, and you all did well informing me. I will ask the elders to keep the cultivation rooms open for late hours tonight so that you can make up for your lost time."

The disciples bowed to Yu Jing and dispersed after the announcement. The third Mistress moved through the crowd, and Kang followed her. She wanted to ask what he saw. This young man was surprisingly good, and she wanted to know why.

...

Shi Lang did not bother with anything and refined his golden core. This allowed him to fly or move his body to hold his end against some enemy. After consolidating the core, he sighed and opened his eyes. The gravitational force of the upper realm was slightly heavier than the lower realms.

This was also why the lower realms people took longer to refine their bodies. On the other hand, Shi Lang had been dealing with twice the gravitational power of this place since he did not even cultivate spiritual energy or even the terran blood cultivation was unknown to him.

He stood up, sorted his clothes, and left the cultivation room. The people looked at him with strange gazes, but he did not mind them. After he came out to the counter, he found Xiao Gong sorting up his things to leave the place and get off work.

Shi Lang asked, "Elder Xiao, good evening."

Xiao Gong turned around and was surprised to see Shi Lang. Then he regained his composure and, looking at the young man, said, "You set off quite a wave for your first day. And to think you even reached the immortal core realm. Busy day?"

Shi Lang smiled goofily as he scratched the back of his head. Xiao Gong gave up teasing and asked, "What do you need?"

The terran asked, "Where can I find the third mistress?"

Xiao Gong replied, "You can follow the scent of herbs. Third Mistress will be in her workshop...."

The old man gave the directions, and Shi Lang left after thanking the man. He walked slowly as he absorbed the scenery in his mind. The place was going to be his home for some time. It was better that he knew things he ought to know.

When he reached the chamber pointed out by Xiao Gong, he found a young lady standing there. Her posture was upright, and her aura was dignified. Shi Lang was about to ask her if he had found the right place when an elegant voice sounded, "Wei, can you calm down? I am refining a pill here."

The girl said, "Mother, you can refine that pill in your dreams. You must tell me what is going on here. Who is this guy?"

Shi Lang could not help but look at the floor. The lady inside the room said, "You will see him soon. He should be coming any time now."

The girl replied, "You have been telling me that since the past hundred bre..."

She looked around and found Shi Lang standing there. The girl blushed in embarrassment but did not give up her temper and asked, "Who are you?"

Shi Lang clasped his fist and said, "Greetings, Senior Sister Shi Wei."

Shi Wei was surprised by his sudden greeting. Honestly, she was expecting someone arrogant and haughty the humble display threw her off course. Shi Wei nodded with furrowed brows, as she did not know what to say. At this moment, Yu Jing left the room and found Shi Lang bowing to Shi Wei.

She said, "Ah, Lang, come inside."

Shi Lang stood up and greeted her before walking forward. He looked at Shi Wei and said, "After you, senior sister."

Shi Wei nodded and entered the room before him. Shi Lang looked around and observed the place. Yu Jing smiled and said, "Tell me if you need any pills. I am a grade four pill master."

Shi Lang smiled and said, "Thank you for your care, Third Mistress."

Yu Jing frowned but did not say anything for a bit. Then she asked, "Tell me, how did you jump levels?"

Shi Lang nodded and described the process without holding back. Yu Jing was surprised, and then she nodded, "Turns out you have been working hard in the lower realms too."

The terran smiled humbly, and Shi Wei asked, "Shi Lang, what are your thoughts about being declared the Young Master of the Shi family?" The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via n(0))vel(b)(j)(n).
