Two more years passed peacefully. Xiao Yifeng was now fifteen and in his fifth year since joining the sect. He had grown much taller, now half a head taller than Su Miaoqing.

Su Miaoqing, now sixteen, was beginning to show the graceful figure of a young woman. However, she remained as close as ever with Xiao Yifeng, much to the chagrin of Lin Ziyun, who had repeatedly tried to teach her about the propriety between men and women.

Over the past two years, Xiao Yifeng had spared no expense in his cultivation, using the Spirit Stones he had obtained from Mo Tianqing. He broke through one level each year and had now reached the seventh level of Qi Refining.

This pace was by no means slow, comparable to a disciple with average, C-grade aptitude, which left Su Qianyi and the others quite satisfied.
