Martial Saint with Passives

Jiang Che could hardly believe it. This treatment was incredible!

From now on, he could enter secluded cultivation anytime without even stepping out the door!

Of course, most of the time, he would still choose to go to the Level A Cultivation Room.

After all, he wasn’t short on money now, and he had a large number of free usage days awarded by the Sect.

He wouldn’t settle for less when the best was available.

The Internal Affairs Hall even sent a few Servant Disciples to help. Jiang Che and Jiang Ling didn’t have to lift a finger, and the move was completed in no time.

While moving, Jiang Che ran into Gu Qingxuan, who lived next door.

He took the initiative to greet her, but Gu Qingxuan just gave him a cold glance before turning and going into her house.

Jiang Che shook his head helplessly. The sect’s top prodigy really had a terrible personality.

Before long, Fang Muye also returned.

He, on the other hand, took the initiative to greet Jiang Che, his face still wearing that warm and gentle smile.

But Jiang Che’s True: All-Seeing Eye clearly caught a faint trace of hostility hidden deep in his eyes.

Jiang Che frowned inwardly. ’This guy... something’s not right with him. It’d be best to keep my distance in the future!’

Over the next few days, Jiang Che met his other neighbors, all of whom were chief disciples of their respective courtyards.

Shi Poyue, the chief of Thunder Shock Courtyard, had lost to him rather embarrassingly in the arena. Whenever he saw Jiang Che, he would look sullen and walk away.

Wang Zhenhai, the chief of Panyue Courtyard, on the other hand, had a very straightforward and hearty personality.

Although he had also lost to Jiang Che, he wasn’t awkward about it at all. On the contrary, he eagerly dragged Jiang Che to the Martial Arts Arena to spar.

Jiang Che also took a liking to this hearty fellow who practiced Iron Body Skills, and the two began to train together often.

Although Wang Zhenhai couldn’t defeat Jiang Che, he was experienced and had his own unique methods for tempering the physical body, which gave Jiang Che quite a bit of inspiration.

As for the chiefs of Yanluo Courtyard and Qianji Courtyard, he hadn’t run into them at all.

He heard that the chief of Yanluo Courtyard was named Murong Zhi, but she had been away from the Sect for the past few years because of some family trouble.

And Han Feichi, the chief of Qianji Courtyard, was an oddball who spent all day tinkering with mechanisms and traps. He was an elusive figure whom ordinary people rarely saw.

Jiang Che thought to himself, ’This Senior Brother Han must be what they call a legendary "tech geek."’

...

On this day, Jiang Che received the latest issue of the *Cangzhou Wind and Cloud Chronicles* at his home.

He was surprised to find that Four Seas Tower, the organization that sold information, had taken advantage of the lingering excitement from the Cloud Tier Inquiry Conference to release a ranking list that included all the young talents in Cangzhou Prefecture.

The Hidden Dragon List!

It seemed the *Cangzhou Wind and Cloud Chronicles* was collaborating with Four Seas Tower, as it had published the list!

The list compiled and ranked all the young masters under the age of forty and below the True Master Realm.

Jiang Che’s interest was immediately piqued, and he started reading from the top.

Hidden Dragon List, Number One: Qin Xuange.

Identity: Son of the General of Cangzhou, Qin Fuhu.

Strength: Infinitely close to the True Master Realm!

Jiang Che was startled. General Qin Fuhu was the de facto military and political leader of Cangzhou Prefecture!

This Qin Xuange was the top princeling of Cangzhou Prefecture!

Hidden Dragon List, Number Two: Qin Wuya.

Identity: Chief Disciple of the Taiyuan Sect, nephew of General Qin Fuhu, and cousin of Qin Xuange.

Strength: Infinitely close to the True Master Realm!

Jiang Che’s eyes flashed as he thought, ’Jeez, the Qin Family brothers have locked up the top two spots... I absolutely cannot afford to offend this family!’

Hidden Dragon List, Number Three: Gu Qingxuan.

’As expected.’ Jiang Che nodded, not surprised in the least.

The power of Gu Qingxuan’s sword strike was still fresh in his memory.

If not for his strike with fifteen times the power, he would never have dared to receive it directly.

There were probably few others in the Refining Organ Realm who could have taken that attack head-on.

Hidden Dragon List, Number Four: Xiao Qingge.

’That tomboy from the Profound Sound Sect?’ Jiang Che recalled the woman in red who had dragged him to drink with her and even offered to introduce him to her junior sisters, and he couldn’t help but smile.

Hidden Dragon List, Number Five: Chen Jiayu.

’So it’s him...’

Jiang Che remembered the eldest Young Master of the Chen Family who had invited him to the Martial Dao exchange conference.

As the heir of Cangzhou’s number one Noble Family and another top-tier princeling, it was only natural he possessed such strength.

Further down, the sixth and seventh spots were both disciples of the Taiyuan Sect, named Shen Mingxuan and Lin Qingyun, respectively.

Eighth place was another genius from the Profound Sound Sect, Su Linfeng.

And then...

Hidden Dragon List, Number Nine: Jiang Che!

Jiang Che was stunned.

’Me?!’
