Chapter 1038: Are You Really Sure?

Miao Jiayi’s eyes widened, mouth agape: "..."

The only person present who remained relatively calm was An Mingji’s first disciple, Wanqi Heyang.

Apart from his initial surprise, his expression quickly returned to normal.

However, his eyes that gazed at Gu Jin sparkled with a brilliant light, full of admiration.

There was no ripple of emotion on Gu Jin’s face, she was not proud of this.

Yin Yue Sect and the Rakshasa Gate had nearly twenty Golden Core Cultivators. If she faced twenty against one, she certainly couldn’t match their strength.

The underhanded tactics cultivated by the old sects in the Hidden Market made her fall into silence, fingers gently tapping her knee.

The room sank into prolonged silence.

They were all excited that Gu Jin, younger than any of them, possessed such high cultivation.

If the outside world knew, it would surely stir up a massive storm.

Likewise, they were also fortunate to become disciples of the Xuanji Sect. The heights Xuanji Sect could reach in the future would be limitless, and they would benefit from it.

Wanqi Jingyi: "If Master’s cultivation reaches the mid to late Golden Core Stage, we won’t have to worry about the competition at the Cultivator Conference. Except for the Nascent Soul masters of the Yin Yue Sect, no one would be a match for Master."

"Oh? Do you trust me so much?" Gu Jin stared at her third disciple with a half-smile.

The latter smiled gently: "The Golden Core Cultivators of Yin Yue Sect and the Rakshasa Gate all build up their cultivation on others, naturally their strength differs from the cultivation Master has solidified step by step."

"Right, those people definitely won’t be a match for Master." Yu Shuo sincerely agreed.

Facing the trust of her disciples, Gu Jin’s expression softened considerably.

Jiang Hanyi suddenly stood up, this gentle and courteous man walked up to Gu Jin and knelt on one knee.

"Master, I am now at the peak of Foundation Establishment, I just need an opportunity to break through to the Golden Core. Can Master lend me a hand? I hope to advance and retreat together with Master at the Cultivation Conference."

This was something he had pondered for a long time.

A gleam flashed in Gu Jin’s eyes, and her spiritual power uncontrollably probed out, striking the second disciple kneeling before her.

This probing made the light in her eyes even more dazzling.

"Your cultivation has increased so quickly!"

Even Gu Jin couldn’t help but be surprised.

Jiang Hanyi was originally an ordinary person whom she had saved by chance. After bringing him into the space to wash the marrow and cleanse the bones, she had no choice but to accept him as a disciple.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the one whose cultivation increased the fastest among the three disciples.

Hearing Gu Jin’s surprise and implicit praise, Jiang Hanyi lowered his eyes, a touch of a shy smile appearing on his face.

Retracting her probing spiritual power, Gu Jin stood up and pulled him up from the ground.

"Your current cultivation is unstable. Back then, after you washed the marrow and bones, you started cultivating, and then used some elixirs to improve your cultivation. It would be more secure to stabilize for another year or so before breaking through to the Golden Core..."

Jiang Hanyi abruptly looked up, interrupting her words: "Master, I think I can break through soon!"

This time at the Cultivator Conference, they would face many Golden Core Cultivators, and he hoped to do something.

If not for Gu Jin, he would’ve already lost his life.

No one knows what might happen at the Cultivator Conference, he had a vague sense that something would go wrong.

Gu Jin’s hand paused slightly, as she supported his arm, staring complexly at the man before her, who was half a head taller than her.

After a while, she asked: "Have you really thought it through?"

Jiang Hanyi nodded firmly, determination in his eyes: "I’ve thought it through!"

"Alright, tonight you’ll follow me to Yuhua Mountain. Breaking through to the Golden Core will attract a lightning tribulation, the process is quite dangerous. I will accompany your senior and junior brothers to guard you."

Gu Jin no longer insisted on refusing.
