Divine Talent Born Mortal

At first Elder Lu could not understand what Zhang Yi was doing, she was surprised at how quickly he killed the wild beasts of the soul birth realm because she paid no special attention to Zhang Yi during the war between sects.

But as they went deeper into the territory, she realized that Zhang Yi always strayed from the paths where she had wild beasts of soul refinement realm and the territories where she had beasts of emptiness realm.

Even though she only realized the presence of these beasts after a long time that Zhang Yi had already strayed, so she knew that it was true that Zhang Yi could more easily search for enemies in the quests he did.

Zhang Yi walked the safest and fastest path he could find, but near where the grass the sect wanted was two level-10 wild beasts, Zhang Yi had expected this because he knew the wild beast he was facing and also knew that normally near the most valuable herbs there were always wild beasts guarding the herbs.

If it were otherwise Zhang Yi would have a much harder time facing these two beasts, but since he already had an agreement with elder Lu he could show more of his abilities, Zhang Yi would not show all of his abilities like mental energy and Sacred domain.

But by showing some of his attacking techniques and the essence of the phoenix flame, elder Lu would probably only recognize this as an advanced understanding of the laws of fire, so Zhang Yi could show that power.

Zhang Yi took his sword because he still had no confidence and no need to use the spear, this was a king rank sword he had stolen along with the king rank armor he wore, Zhang Yi used the dragon charge technique and the feather rain technique.

The two wild beasts had not seen Zhang Yi who was hiding and only died after receiving several attacks with the force of three times the peak of the soul refinement realm, elder Lu was also surprised by this.

She realized that this attack was almost at the emptiness realm level and could even hurt her seriously, she felt that Zhang Yi used the laws of fire and two techniques she didn't know that made his attack lethal.

With this, she realized why Zhang Yi had the confidence to fight soul-refinement realm warriors even though he was in the soul-birth realm at level 1, with this strength of his own missions he would have to face various soul-refinement realm warriors at the peak could be given to Zhang Yi.

"Elder Lu, since this is a territory of our sect could I get some herbs for myself?"

"If they are not very rare you can."

"Thanks, I'll get the herbs and if they are very rare you can let me know."

Zhang Yi said this because he had mapped in his mind almost all this sect territory to find this herb that was the purpose of the mission, and in that territory had many of the herbs that could be useful for him to create the pill that would help him increase the cultivation speed in the realm of soul birth.

This was a very important herb because it would serve him in many realms after that until the emptiness realm because it was the last pill he could create in his master's special cauldron.

After that he could no longer have perfect rank pills unless his refinement ability was sufficient for this, Zhang Yi had no confidence even to create perfect rank pills for the spiritual sea realm, let alone of the refinement soul realm or stronger.

So Zhang Yi knew this pill would be useful to him for a long time, so he should carefully gather the herbs so as not to warn elder Lu of what he intended to create, Zhang Yi killed the 3 level-9 beasts that were taking care of the weed and took them.

Elder Lu did not think this herb that Zhang Yi was important and so did not care much, seeing that Zhang Yi was happy because it was the most valuable herb he needed, the others were worth even less to elder Lu.

After returning to the sect elder Lu said that Zhang Yi did very well on this mission and said her assessment of Zhang Yi's maximum strength for the sect to find more difficult missions, the sect's elders were surprised and asked for details, but the Elder Lu said he had taken an oath and could not say that.

The elders found this strange and disliked Zhang Yi's lack of trust when elder Lu said that Zhang Yi had a problem with spies in the sect where he was before the elders accepted because they trusted Elder Lu's vision.

The elders who went to help Sword Sect in the weaker territories like elder Lu knew more about Zhang Yi's talent and saw how he helped the sect and so trusted him more, the elders who didn't see Zhang Yi in the war thought it wrong that the sect has this much preferential treatment like that.

But these elders dared not question Elder Lu's decisions that besides being the elder's disciple responsible for this territory, she was an elder appreciated by Sword Sect in the stronger territories because of her talent.

So Zhang Yi spent two more years in this Sword Sect territory, in those two years he can cultivate to the advanced layer of the first level of the soul birth realm, it was much slower than in the other realms, but all the elders were surprised by the speed that Zhang Yi improved his cultivation.

He improved mental energy cultivation, body refinement, and qi cultivation, even though it was an excellent cultivation speed that still made Zhang Yi dissatisfied, fortunately in several missions he has done in these two years he has collected all the medicinal herbs necessary for making the pill he needed.

In those years Zhang Yi did several missions, many of them were difficult even for Zhang Yi because they were missions usually given to soul-refinement realm warrior groups at the peak, yet he never faced a real risk because he still hid many of the techniques he had.

Elder Lu also got used to following Zhang Yi in those years and she still had time to cultivate while caring for Zhang Yi because she knew that Zhang Yi could getaway better than her if some very strong enemy appeared.

She didn't even suspect that Zhang Yi hadn't shown all the techniques he had and was even stronger, yet she thought he was an amazing genius. Zhang Yi didn't need to use other laws in other missions, otherwise, he didn't care to show that he had advanced mastery in more than 10 laws.
