Fueled by her galloping heart, Qin Dongxue turned away to seek her escape path.

“Aunty…”

Ling Yun didn’t look back.

“Un?” Qin Dongxue stopped in her tracks.

“Aunty, do you know where the Tranquil Sect is?” Ling Yun finally asked.

He knew that it would destroy the current atmosphere between them, but he had to ask. Zhuang Meifeng was waiting for him to save her.

Qin Dongxue knew Ling Yun’s purpose in asking. Her heart stung, and the shyness from a moment before turned into resentment.

“Yes, at Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan Province,” Qin Dongxue answered.

Ling Yun’s dark pupils shrank, and his Yin-Yang Eye reappeared, shooting a ray of black and another ray of white. He squinted his eyes in anger.

“Aunty, do you think the disciples of the Tranquil Sect will attend the Devil Abolishing Conference a month from now?” Ling Yun continued immediately.

Ling Yun could see Qin Dongxue’s every expression through his divine sense, but he couldn’t help himself. It concerned Zhuang Meifeng.

“The Tranquil Sect prides itself as a prestigious sect. They will surely send representatives to the event,” Qin Dongxue replied almost begrudgingly.

A cruel smile crept onto Ling Yun’s face. He nodded and asked no more.

“Ling Yun, tell Aunty the truth, what realm are you at now?” Qin Dongxue asked with a complicated look in her eyes.

Ling Yun gave it some thought. “Aunty, I’ve always been practicing on my own. I don’t quite understand the difference between the realms, so I can’t say for sure what realm I’ve reached. However, I’m confident that I could kill Liu Suifeng within three strokes!”

“You’re confident that you could kill Liu Suifeng within three strokes?”

Qin Dongxue’s beautiful lips grew big with shock!

Liu Suifeng was one of the top ten disciples of the Deity Sword Mountain Villa. He had cultivated to the beginning phase of Xiantian Realm Level Five. If Ling Yun could kill him, didn’t that mean…

Didn’t that mean that Ling Yun’s true strength had reached at least Xiantian Realm Level Six?

Qin Dongxue herself was at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Three. Level Four was within her reach, but she had been so worried about Ling Yun that she couldn’t calm herself down and cultivate.

Qin Dongxue was a martial arts genius in the Qin Family, but her speed of cultivation was incomparable to Liu Suifeng, who was the descendant of a martial arts family.

That wasn’t to say that Qin Dongxue wasn’t good enough or that she wasn’t working hard enough. There was a crucial matter at play — cultivation resources!

There was a saying that the poor studied and the rich cultivated. The Qin Family had been on the decline for the past eighteen years, ever since the incident with Qin Qiuyue. Thus, they possessed fewer cultivation resources than the Liu Family.

Even so, Qin Dongxue relied on her own talents and diligence to cultivate. Liu Suifeng had only exceeded her by one major realm.

Qin Dongxue’s obsession with cultivation had two reasons. One was to protect the Qin Family from being swallowed up by the other families.

The other reason was to take revenge for the Qin Family! She knew her dear elder sister, Qin Qiuyue, had suffered great humiliation eighteen years ago. She wanted to put things right!

Qin Dongxue herself was a cultivation genius. She had also seen some real geniuses in her time at the Deity Sword Mountain Villa.

That was why she was stunned at Ling Yun’s growth! His cultivation speed was unheard of!

Qin Dongxue suddenly felt that the geniuses she knew before weren’t so special after all.

However, Ling Yun’s current realm wasn’t enough.

Qin Dongxue knew that some of the elders in the Tranquil Sect had surpassed Xiantian Realm Level Seven. It would be a one-way ticket if Ling Yun were to barge into the sect now.

“Ling Yun, Aunty understands what you are feeling. I also know that you are really powerful now. However, you will definitely fail if you try and save Zhuang Meifeng now.”

Qin Dongxue gave her assessment of the situation, worried about Ling Yun.

Ling Yun smiled faintly. “Thank you for your concern, Aunty. I know my inadequacy. I will work hard.”

Ling Yun was never one to be rash. He now understood this planet thoroughly. It wasn’t as simple as ordinary people thought it was. He was also aware of the situations of the secular families of Huaxia. That put him on his guard.

Ling Yun had no absolute confidence of winning against the Long Family, Chen Family, and Sun Family, much less the secluded sects and the Prestigious Martial Arts Clans.

He had to improve rapidly!

He wasn’t so worried, though. There wouldn’t be any huge barriers for Ling Yun until the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine.

Ling Yun could carry out his original plan as long as he had enough spiritual energy. He could reach the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine and head into the Qi Cultivation Stage.

He had benefited so much from that one terrible tribulation.

He had absolute confidence to improve since he had ample spiritual energy now!

The dragon saliva in the mysterious gourd, the spirit gathering formation in Mansion Number One, Shichiyou herb, Earth Yin Grass, Heaven Yang Grass, Longxian Grass, and even the spiritual energy from the Antique Market!

Ling Yun had decided to obtain the Antique Market. He couldn’t think about it too much now that he was in dire need of improving his abilities.

Ling Yun could also dual cultivate with Kong Xiuru and Yao Rou. They were both blooming buds waiting for him to pick them.

Their innate cultivation abilities may not be as good as Lin Menghan, but he was certain that he would be able to reach the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Eight without any problems.

It’s time to meet Murong Feixue, oh, and Song Zhengyang. Ling Yun looked towards the waves of the beach, his mouth turning up in a confident smile.

Qin Dongxue stood behind Ling Yun. Her eyes bored into Ling Yun’s confident silhouette. Her heart thumped loudly in her chest.

“Ling Yun, Aunty will support you if you want to save Zhuang Meifeng. However, that is only after you have enough power. We need to plan this out, alright?” Qin Dongxue advised again.

“Aunty, don’t worry, I won’t be rash.”

Ling Yun finally turned back to face Qin Dongxue. “I will face the Tranquil Sect in a month’s time!” Ling Yun said proudly.

Qin Dongxue was still not looking directly at Ling Yun. She nodded, infected by Ling Yun’s overwhelming confidence. “Zhuang Meifeng’s younger sister, Zhuang Meina, has been around often recently looking for you. What do you plan to do?” Qin Dongxue queried after some hesitation.

Zhuang Meina? What else should he do but leave her alone!

“Do nothing,” replied Ling Yun indifferently, as if it didn’t matter. He had no good feelings towards Zhuang Meina. He wouldn’t have bothered with her at all if she wasn’t Zhuang Meifeng’s biological sister.

“Rascal, Aunty is relieved since you have a plan. I’m worried about leaving Lingyu alone at home. I’ll head back first.”

Qin Dongxue wanted to escape. She was uncomfortable under Ling Yun’s gaze. White smoke appeared where she was as she disappeared from Ling Yun’s sight.

“Aunty, I’ll accompany you to Dragon Tiger Mountain once I’m done with my college entrance exams.”

Ling Yun didn’t follow. He sent the message directly to Qin Dongxue’s ears through telepathy.

Ling Yun turned back towards the endless sea, his heart in tatters.

There is too much spiritual energy in my body. It’s extremely difficult to consume it in a short period. That makes Physique Tempering more difficult…

Also, if my energy center and meridians strengthen again, the speed of travel of the Yin-Yang Qi would increase many folds…

I’ll really have to go under the sea to cultivate Physique Tempering in the future…

Ling Yun thought back to how he jumped into the sea previously. He used his body to fight against the undercurrents of the sea and waved the Shennong Cauldron around madly.

Okay, that’s settled!

Ling Yun decided swiftly with confidence and a plan. Forewarned is Forearmed.

He continued staring into the sea to sort out many important matters in his mind. He returned only at sunset. His figure had almost become a perfect sculpture on the sand.

Ling Yun called out to Lingyu when he reached home. “Lingyu, Big Brother will start imparting martial arts to you today!” Ling Yun announced kindly.
