The next day, Qin Yi, the newly appointed Eldest Senior Brother, began receiving personal guidance from his Grandmaster.

Every day at the time of the Morning Bell and Evening Drum was the moment for Dao Enlightenment and teachings.

On the Martial Platform of the Outer Court at Emerald Bamboo Peak, Huang Tianrong lectured the disciples on scriptures and shared insights on Dao cultivation.

Meanwhile, in the Inner Court, under the Bodhi Tree, Qin Yi and Gu Yiyi received private teachings from their Grandmaster.

According to Gu Yiyi, her father rarely gave personal lectures, doing so once every ten days or half a month was considered frequent.

But ever since Qin Yi joined, he lectured every day, especially giving special attention to Qin Yi.

Within just five days, Qin Yi had basically mastered the Five Great Sword Techniques of the Famous Sword Sect.

However, he still kept his skills hidden, not revealing them to anyone.

With the authentic mental cultivation methods and incantations taught by the Grandmaster, the fluency and power of these sword techniques were indeed enhanced.

Moreover, with his max-level insight, these five sword techniques, paired with the authentic incantations and mental cultivation methods, allowed him to surpass most of the disciples instantly.

Among the new generation of the Famous Sword Sect, he felt he could at least rank in the top five.

Grandmaster Gu Yanshan, known as the Seventh Elder in the Famous Sword Sect, had a moniker, "Elder Dripping Water."

The name originated from the "Dripping Water Sword," as Gu Yanshan primarily cultivated the Xuanji Sword Technique, which created his own Dao, capable of slaying enemies between drops of water.

In his youth, he once fought against three enemies at once, severely injured, yet managed to decapitate all three and returned with their heads, earning his fame in one battle.

He was originally a candidate for the new Sect Master, but for various reasons, he was not selected.

Since then, he had been reclusive at Emerald Bamboo Peak, rarely venturing out.

As a result, among the Nine Great Peaks of the Famous Sword Sect, Emerald Bamboo Peak had the fewest people.

Gu Yanshan took a Buddhist approach to accepting disciples, never actively recruiting them himself. The current disciples at Emerald Bamboo Peak were all assigned by the Famous Sword Sect.

Only Qin Yi was different, personally accepted by Gu Yanshan. With this status, it was no wonder that when Qin Yi wanted to become the Eldest Senior Brother, he was tacitly approved.

After the Morning Bell, he would start teaching Qin Yi swordsmanship; after the Evening Drum, he would teach Dao scriptures.

Qin Yi often grasped these teachings immediately, which made Gu Yanshan more enthusiastic in his teaching.

For other disciples, he would divide a topic into three sessions, but for Qin Yi, he would condense three topics into one session.

There was no choice; this disciple's insight was too high, and teaching more was a pleasure for him.

In this manner, by the eighth day, after the Evening Drum lecture, Qin Yi finally decided not to wait any longer.

He told the system to claim the reward!

At this moment, he and Gu Yiyi had just finished listening to Gu Yanshan's Dao scripture lecture under the Bodhi Tree.

In an instant, Qin Yi's body shimmered with golden light, beams of gold shooting from the base of his body straight to his crown.

It flashed five times!

Each time, his Qi Refining advanced by one level, and after five consecutive times, he astonishingly stepped directly into the Foundation Establishment Realm!

After successfully establishing his foundation, Qin Yi closed his eyes and examined his dantian, where he saw a Nine-Layer Pagoda Tower standing tall.

His Foundation Establishment was directly granted by the system, bypassing the early, middle, late, and great perfection stages, stepping directly into great perfection upon entering the Foundation Establishment.

This scene left the young girl beside him dumbfounded.

Gu Yanshan, after a brief moment of surprise, stroked his beard and laughed heartily, "Excellent, excellent, I never thought in my lifetime I, Gu Yanshan, would receive such a disciple. Heaven has truly favored me."

The girl couldn't believe it; when they made the bet, she thought Qin Yi was bragging. Ten days to establish a foundation seemed impossible.

But now, in just eight days, this guy had reached Foundation Establishment ahead of time.

This was the Foundation Establishment Realm; could it really be this easy?

"Father, how could this be? How could he achieve it so quickly?"

The girl asked her father in confusion. It was too abnormal.

But her father, stroking the small beard on his chin, though surprised, did not share the girl's disbelief. It seemed he had seen similar examples before.

"Quick? Qin Yi's cultivation progress is indeed fast, but isn't Hua Yunfeng even faster? In this world, some people are naturally born for Dao cultivation. They are called Children of Destiny. As a genius, Qin Yi's speed is only average. In the Taiyi Sect, there's an even more formidable figure who reached the late Golden Elixir stage at the age of fifteen, even surpassing Hua Yunfeng."

The girl listened silently.

She had heard rumors about the genius from the Taiyi Sect, a truly formidable figure.

Because of this genius, the cultivation world was abuzz with talk that this genius might one day lead all major sects and become a giant in the human realm.

But such a person was ultimately too far removed from her.

Qin Yi, being someone close to her, even if only considered average, had already shaken her to the point of questioning her life.

"Father, I've been cultivating for so many years and have only reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. Am I not suited for cultivation?"

Gu Yanshan looked at her with affection and said, "Yiyi, you're not slow; you're just among the ranks of ordinary cultivators. In the future, get along well with Qin Yi. Qin Yi is my prized disciple. If he continues to progress, I might consider betrothing you to him, making him the son-in-law of our Gu family."

"Father, what are you saying?"

The girl blushed deeply, scolding him with a hint of embarrassment, lowering her head, not daring to look in Qin Yi's direction.

Meanwhile, Qin Yi, immersed in the feeling of the Foundation Establishment Realm, had not yet opened his eyes.

This spared them the awkwardness of the moment.

"As for Hua Yunfeng, don't get too close to him. I've told you before, I don't like him," Gu Yanshan said.

The blushing girl never quite understood why her father disliked Hua Yunfeng.

If her father had said this to her before, she would have likely forgotten it immediately.

But now, with Qin Yi in her heart, she began to heed her father's words: "Oh..."

"Father, in three days, it's time for external duty. Can I take Qin Yi with me this time?"

Taking this opportunity, the girl straightforwardly brought up the agreed matter.

Gu Yanshan glanced at Qin Yi, this genius disciple, growing more satisfied with him by the day.

In less than half a month since joining, Qin Yi had already stepped into the Foundation Establishment stage. If this news spread, other peaks of the Famous Sword Sect would surely be envious.

On one hand, he worried that if Qin Yi encountered an accident during external duty, it would be a great loss.

For such a genius disciple, any sect would keep him within the mountain gates, teaching him until he was accomplished before letting him venture out.

On the other hand, he thought that keeping such a talented disciple on the mountain without experience might not be beneficial.

After a moment of silence, he finally nodded, "Very well, let him go with you then."
