Mysterious Trace True Master looked at the two female True Masters competing with each other and sighed softly.

"Junior Sister Gu Feng, the secret refining technique of the Thunder Spirit Pearl is of great importance. It would be better to let Shen Xuan explain it."

Master Gu Feng smiled slightly, "Alright!"

Before coming, she had already agreed with Shen Xuan.

At this moment, Master Gu Feng sent out a Communication Talisman.

Handed it to the Sect Steward standing outside.

"Shen Xuan will be here soon. If Master Tianlei has any questions, feel free to ask."

Mysterious Trace True Master smiled at Celestial Thunder True Master.

Among the True Masters present, only Celestial Thunder True Master was a Thunder Cultivator.

Celestial Thunder True Master slightly shook his head, "The waves push forward the waves. Celestial Thunder Peak is not what it used to be. I have taught ineffectively, and my disciples have all turned out useless, how shameful!"

Some things become clear with just a slight comparison.

Shen Xuan was not a Thunder Cultivator.

Yet he could cultivate the Thunder Escape Technique on his own.

And in a very short time, he was able to succeed in cultivation.

His talent in Thunder Techniques, even compared to Celestial Thunder True Master's direct disciples, was outstanding.

Now, Master Gu Feng boasted about the secret refining technique of the Thunder Spirit Pearl.

Among those present, which True Master was not aware of Master Gu Feng's abilities?

She was a proud daughter of a family who excelled in no particular art of cultivation.

Where did the secret refining technique of the Thunder Spirit Pearl come from?

It was clearly the work of her direct disciple Shen Xuan.

Much like the large furnace refining technique.

It was clearly a simple skill, merely combining various Pill and Artifact Array techniques into one.

Yet it could create a sensational effect.

Master Gu Feng's status in the sect rose dramatically.

It was this large furnace refining technique that brought substantial benefits to the sect.

"Reporting to Mysterious Trace True Master, Shen Xuan is waiting outside."

Soon, the Sect Steward reported from the door.

"Let him in!"

Shen Xuan took a deep breath and slowly walked into the True Master Discussion Hall.

"Shen Xuan greets the Sect Leader and all the esteemed uncles."

Shen Xuan appeared very respectful and bowed in salute.

A dozen Divine Senses all fell on him.

Causing his body to tremble involuntarily.

Especially one Divine Sense, sharp and fierce, as if about to explode at any moment, which should belong to Celestial Thunder True Master.

"Shen Xuan, I heard that you recently developed the secret refining technique of the Thunder Spirit Pearl?"

Celestial Thunder True Master glanced at Shen Xuan and asked coldly.

"Reporting to Master Tianlei. It was my master who developed it."

Shen Xuan quickly put his master, Master Gu Feng, in the forefront.

Everyone understood but did not expose it.

Celestial Thunder True Master nodded.

"Shen Xuan, let me ask you, do you know what place this is?"

"The True Master Discussion Hall of the sect."

"It's good that you know! Every word spoken here is closely related to the survival and development of the sect. If you dare to falsify, the disciplinary rules of the sect are not to be trifled with!"

As he spoke, Celestial Thunder True Master's gaze was like two Thunder Blade and Electric Swords, fiercely shooting towards Shen Xuan.

In the air, there was a faint sizzling sound of electric currents.

Master Gu Feng frowned slightly, just about to speak.

Opposite her, Master Lingxiao transmitted, "Junior Sister Gu Feng, hold your peace."

Master Gu Feng forcibly restrained herself.

However, Shen Xuan seemed completely unaware of the Thunder Blade and Electric Swords materialized from Celestial Thunder True Master's gaze.

The two Thunder Blade and Electric Swords fell on Shen Xuan's body and disappeared quietly.

Mysterious Trace True Master's eyes lit up.

It wasn't just him.

The previously drowsy Hidden Image True Master suddenly seemed to awaken.

Celestial Thunder True Master was merely giving Shen Xuan a little test.

He would not harm him.

However, Shen Xuan was able to resolve it so easily, which astonished all the True Masters present.

No matter what, Celestial Thunder True Master was a Thunder Technique Golden Core True Master.

"Well done, Shen Xuan! What Dao Body have you cultivated?"

"Reporting to Master Tianlei. This disciple has cultivated the Absolute Thunder Dao Body."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Celestial Thunder True Master but even the knowledgeable Hidden Image True Master couldn't help but stand up.

"Absolute Thunder Dao Body? Doesn't that mean, when undergoing celestial tribulation, it can greatly reduce the damage from Celestial Tribulation Divine Thunder?"

"Reporting to Master Hidden Image, theoretically, yes."

"You, boy, just speak properly. What does theoretically, yes, mean?"

Shen Xuan took a deep breath.

"It means that whether it can resist Celestial Tribulation Divine Thunder still depends on the divine power and might derived from the Absolute Thunder Dao Body."

"No need for your explanation!"

Hidden Image True Master did not speak further.

Before Shen Xuan arrived, they had already reached a tacit understanding.

The main questioning would be done by Celestial Thunder True Master.

Celestial Thunder True Master's expression was very grave.

This Shen Xuan, of all the things to cultivate, chose the Absolute Thunder Dao Body.

This meant he had a significant advantage over Thunder Cultivators of the same realm.

"When Lei Yaoyang returns, tell him not to provoke this person anymore."

Celestial Thunder True Master secretly thought to himself.

He was almost certain.

Shen Xuan, whether in combat power or intellect, could overwhelm Lei Yaoyang.

Back then, Lei Yaoyang had designs on Qin Yuehan, and he was well aware of it.

There were rumors, Shen Xuan and Qin Yuehan were close.

Now, Shen Xuan has done a great service to the sect.

His status is no lower than Lei Yaoyang's.

He has also caught the eyes of many True Masters.

If he were to suppress him without reason, it would only lead to self-inflicted humiliation.

"Back to the main question. Shen Xuan, I'm asking you, how many Thunder Spirit Pearls can be produced with the secret refining technique in one month?"

Thinking about this, Celestial Thunder True Master asked again.

"Under the conditions of Small Gu Feng, we can produce over a thousand per month."

Celestial Thunder True Master nodded.

This was about the same as what Master Gu Feng had said earlier.

"If there is enough Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron?"

"We could produce four to five thousand per month."

As soon as Shen Xuan said this.

Celestial Thunder True Master said harshly, "Shen Xuan, I'll ask you once more. You better think carefully before you answer."

"This is the True Masters' Council of the sect, and there is no room for even the slightest falsehood!"

"If there's enough Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron, how many Thunder Spirit Pearls can be obtained each month?"

Shen Xuan hesitated slightly.

Thunderstorm Days are unpredictable.

Shen Xuan could only roughly estimate.

Qing Yun Mountain, due to its high terrain, experiences a lot of convection.

In a month, there are about seven to eight days of thunderstorms.

Moreover, during summer, there are more thunderstorm days.

"To report to Master Tianlei, can this disciple calculate it over the course of a year?"

"Why is that?"

"The Thunder Spirit Pearl refining secret technique of my master requires the timing of the seasons. Calculating over the course of a year is more accurate."

"Very well! Over the course of a year, how many Thunder Spirit Pearls can be obtained?"

"Fifty thousand!"

Shen Xuan blurted out without thinking.

In fact, if there were enough Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, more Thunder Attraction Platforms could be set up.

Refining fifty thousand Thunder Spirit Pearls would be no problem.

When Celestial Thunder True Master saw Shen Xuan answering so confidently, he knew Shen Xuan must have a solid foundation.

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, I've finished asking. It's your turn to ask!"

Mysterious Trace True Master nodded, having already made a decision in his heart.

If the secret technique proves effective, he must find a way to obtain it for the Sect from Shen Xuan.

Cyan Cloud Sect is a major sect in Song Country, with eighteen Core Formation True Masters within the sect.

However, in this era of spiritual qi scarcity, the financial situation is bleak, which is also evident.

The cultivation of True Masters themselves requires a large number of cultivation resources.

Cultivating Foundation Establishment Realm disciples is also a substantial expense.

Every sect establishes Core Formation Seeds, investing their tight cultivation resources into elite disciples with the highest potential to form cores.

With this approach, most other Foundation Establishment Realm disciples, whose talents were originally lacking, faced an even greater disparity in support resources, making their path even more arduous.

Basically, more than ninety percent of ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm disciples have no illusions about forming cores.

Similar to Shen Xuan's previous life college entrance exams, most people's goals were merely ordinary bachelor's degrees.

985, 211, were only the goals of a small few.

Compared to Master Gu Feng, who came from an esteemed clan, Shen Xuan was easier to handle.

"Shen Xuan, there's no need to be nervous."

Mysterious Trace True Master showed a gentle smile, "Let me ask you, was the Thunder Spirit Pearl secret technique something you comprehended on your own?"

"No! It was my master who comprehended it. I assisted my master in creating it."

Shen Xuan immediately replied.

After all, the ownership belonged to Master Gu Feng.

If they had the ability, they should go ask Master Gu Feng for it.

As a direct disciple, he wasn't about to meddle in it.

"Alright. We'll discuss it later. Can you explain it for us?"

Shen Xuan looked towards Master Gu Feng.

Seeing his master nod slightly, he then said, "Alright. I will explain to my masters."

Shen Xuan spoke at length.

Thunderstorm Days, Thunderclouds, Thunder-Attracting Flying Spiritual Artifacts, Conductive Gold Thread, Thunder-Encompassing Divine Iron, Thunder-Resistant Treasure Robe, Thunder Sound Bamboo Pearl, Thunder Spirit Pearl.

"This is how it's refined."

After speaking, Shen Xuan let out a long breath.

The True Master Discussion Hall fell silent.

Shen Xuan looked at the assembled masters.

All wore confused expressions.

Only Celestial Thunder True Master seemed to have some inkling.

Mysterious Trace True Master asked Celestial Thunder True Master.

"Master Tianlei, did you understand what Shen Xuan said?"

"Ashamedly! I understand partially, yet incompletely."

Celestial Thunder True Master sighed.

"However, what Shen Xuan said isn't false; it should be possible."

The True Masters in the discussion hall, hearing Celestial Thunder True Master say so, all looked towards Shen Xuan.

"Hearing is illusion; seeing is reality. Shen Xuan, could you demonstrate it on the spot?"

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"To report to Sect Leader Master, today is not a thunderstorm day; it can't be performed."

"No matter. It will do after a few days."

Mysterious Trace True Master wasn't concerned.

"When the thunderstorm day arrives, you refine the Thunder Spirit Pearls, and we will observe."

"Regarding the Sect's acquisition of Thunder Spirit Pearls, we'll discuss it further after observing."

Mysterious Trace True Master concluded definitively.

The True Masters all agreed.

"Today's discussion ends here."

"Hold on!"

Master Cold Jade, who rarely spoke, suddenly said.

"Shen Xuan, let me ask you. Did you know you originally belonged to the Cold Jade Peak lineage?"

"Ah!"

Shen Xuan was bewildered.

Master Gu Feng shouted angrily, "Cold Jade, what do you mean by this!"

Master Cold Jade cast a sidelong glance at Master Gu Feng with disdain.

"To report to Sect Leader Senior Brother, Shen Xuan's teacher, Yan Ruixue, was my Senior Brother Gu Hongtao's registered disciple."

"Although Senior Brother Gu isn't here, both the Inheritance Hall and Cold Jade Peak have records of the lineage."

With these words, the eyes of the True Masters in the discussion hall turned strange.

The smile vanished from Mysterious Trace True Master's face, turning solemn.

Shen Xuan was completely bewildered.

He only knew that Instructor Yan was gravely injured and secluded himself in the mortal world, selecting Immortal Seeds for Cyan Cloud Sect.

Instructor Yan never mentioned his tutelage to them.

In retrospect, it made sense.

He hadn't passed the Cyan Cloud Sect's entry exams, couldn't even formally enter the sect, so what qualification was there to mention tutelage.

Master Gu Feng pointed at Master Cold Jade, his expression agitated, "Cold Jade, don't cause trouble! Shen Xuan was accepted into my training; he's my direct disciple!"

Mysterious Trace True Master spoke slowly, "Shen Xuan is Master Gu Feng's direct disciple."

Master Cold Jade's tone stiffened.

Mysterious Trace True Master's words represented the sect's stance.

Master Cold Jade, still persistent, said, "Shen Xuan, let me ask you again. My Ice Soul Cold Water Technique, how's your cultivation of it going?"

Master Gu Feng angrily said, "You handed out the technique voluntarily, and my disciple earned it based on merit. Cold Jade, why bring it up again!"

Master Cold Jade gave a slight bow to the assembled True Masters.

"Fellow Senior Brothers. I am considering the sect's future."

"If I'm not mistaken, Shen Xuan is a genius in Ice Techniques!"

"His talent in Ice Techniques is no less than mine!"

"In the future, he has a high chance of condensing the Inner Core!"

"He might even reach the Golden Core!"
