Chapter 283 Standard
Seeing that everyone was so cooperative, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Wen Ruohan's narrow eyes.
He immediately waved to signal Lan Wenjing and the others who were standing to the side to return to their seats, and then casually sat down in the empty seat at the head of the table.
Just then, Wen Zhiji (the most skilled physician among the Qishan Wen family doctors in treating external injuries), who had been urgently summoned by Wen Zhibai, rushed forward like the wind, carrying a huge medical kit!
Cheng abruptly stopped a meter in front of Wen Ruohan's group of people, bowed and said, "This subordinate greets the sect leader. Please allow me to examine your pulse and administer medicine!"
Wen Ruohan, sitting with his arms crossed, nodded: "Granted!"
Then Wen Zhiji walked up to the seat and knelt down on his left side, carefully taking his pulse. With his free right hand, he lightly tapped the armrest and said insincerely, "Lord Qingheng, Sect Leader Nie, Sect Leader Lin, I am a little late due to some business, please forgive me!"
Lan Wenjing, Nie Changfeng, and Lin Yingsu, who were named, were speechless: "..."
After a powerless exchange of glances, Lan Wenjing still smiled brightly: "It's nothing. We've only exchanged pleasantries with the patriarchs and haven't gotten to the main topic yet!"
Wen Ruohan: "That's good, that's good!"
Seeing that they were still going back and forth, avoiding the main point, Wei Ying, who had been waiting impatiently with his own thoughts, showed deep irritation in his big peach blossom eyes. Just as he was about to stand up and interrupt, Lan Zhan, who was sitting with him, quickly grabbed his hand and gently squeezed his fingers.
Lan Zhan's subtle movement extinguished the rising anger in Wei Ying's heart. He shifted uncomfortably, tilted his head and leaned towards Lan Zhan, complaining in a whisper that only the two of them could hear.
"That old man Wen has changed his ways, so he's been dragging his feet! I've been waiting for him all day, it's so annoying! If it weren't for the fact that we need him to show up and keep things under control, I really wouldn't want to wait..."
"Wei Ying, calm down! The more critical the moment, the less you should rush or lose your composure!"
His light blue, glassy eyes were filled with tenderness, and his clear, gentle voice, like the quiet, gentle moonlight of the night, soothed the restlessness in Wei Ying's heart.
“But, what about my sister…” Wei Ying raised his eyes, and the fear, anxiety and panic in his eyes met Lan Zhan’s eyes.
"Wei Ying!"
Lan Zhan emphasized his words, speaking solemnly and firmly: "Sister will be alright, and we will succeed this time! Because you are Wei Ying, and I am Lan Zhan!"
Lan Zhan's calm and firm words seemed to give Wei Ying immense courage, instantly calming his restless mind, which was always filled with many bad thoughts.
Once Wei Ying regained his composure, he had the mind to pay attention to Wen Ruohan's situation. Upon closer inspection, he saw that all the renowned immortals and scholars who were seated in the audience had stood up, and nearly half of them, with flushed faces and fervent eyes, were swarming around the area half a foot in front of the head seat!
Judging from their demeanor, if they weren't afraid of angering Wen Ruohan, Lan Wenjing, and the others by going any further, they might have shamelessly climbed up to the seats of honor and squeezed in front of Wen Ruohan and the others, face to face with them!
"What happened?" Wei Ying was bewildered. He had only exchanged a few words with Lan Zhan, but it felt like he had missed an entire century.
The considerate Lan Zhan immediately explained to him: "Sect Leader Wen has already made public the information we compiled!"
"So fast?" Wei Ying's eyes widened. "I remember that bunch of definitions and concepts were more than a dozen pages long!"
Fearing that his description was not vivid enough, Wei Ying even stretched out his finger and made a large arc in front of Lan Zhan's eyes to show the scale of the information they provided when they came out of seclusion!
Seeing Wei Ying so excited that he was drawing and sketching, Lan Zhan's pale blue eyes flashed with a faint smile: "Sect Leader Wen's words are concise and to the point, without much embellishment."
Wei Ying blinked, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly darted like a rabbit to Nie Changfeng's back, pawing furtively at his strong back. He then asked in a low voice, "Sect Leader Nie, what did Sect Leader Wen just say that made so many seniors here so excited?"
Nie Changfeng realized that the person making the fuss behind his back was Wei Ying. His face twitched, his lips curled up, and he reached for the teacup lid to his lips, answering in a similarly low voice.
"Wen Ruohan is so flamboyant. He directly and bluntly told those who are eager to eat meat and take advantage that if they want to break through their current cultivation limits and improve their cultivation to a higher level like you, they need to do three things."
"Merit, Cause and Effect, and Real-world Application!"
Although Nie Changfeng's explanation of the three elements was somewhat nonsensical, they were all from cultivators who had reached the Golden Core stage. Without much explanation, Wei Ying immediately understood what was needed to meet these three standards, and everyone else was also fully aware of it.
Wei Ying scratched the tip of his nose, and asked in surprise, "Sect Leader Wen just said it out of thin air, and they actually believed it?"
Nie Changfeng rolled his eyes dramatically: "You're all a bunch of people who won't act until they see a clear benefit. Do you think that's possible?"
"Wen Ruohan just showed off the nearly thousand-year-old peerless fierce corpse that he successfully hunted in the forbidden area of the Lingyong Tiankeng, which had been sealed there by hundreds of experts from the cultivation world over the past three hundred years."
"Incidentally, I also released a few breaths of my strength, which represents another breakthrough to a higher level. With this proof, how could they not believe me!"
"Hey, wait a minute! Wen Ruohan was releasing fierce corpses and auras just now, didn't you notice such a commotion? Wei kid, what were you doing just now?"
Wei Ying froze, about to laugh it off and sneak back to his seat, when suddenly a chill ran down his spine, as if he were being watched by something.
With a premonition in mind, Wei Ying secretly peeked half his face out from behind Nie Changfeng's waist. Sure enough, Wen Ruohan, who was talking eloquently with the cultivators in the training ground, was giving him a deep, murderous smile.
Clearly, Wen Ruohan had overheard their entire conversation!
My life is over!
Caught red-handed, Wei Ying instinctively covered his face and scurried behind Nie Changfeng, using his broad back to completely shield himself.
Seeing this, Wen Ruohan raised an eyebrow, knowing when to stop and withdrawing his chilling gaze, while maliciously reminding the group of cultivators below who were daydreaming and imagining a promising future.
"However, as far as I know, the world has been quite peaceful for the past two years. Where do you gentlemen intend to find enough evil spirits to improve your cultivation? Why not kindly share a few with me? Rest assured, if it is true, I will remember your favor!"
