Dragon Emperor, Martial God

Ling Yun shut himself in quietly for 12 days. When he emerged in the morning, he shocked many people!

The first one to find out was obviously Bai Xianer, Tang Meng, and Yao Rou, who came to send lunch over. Seeing that Ling Yun was finally out, Tang Meng was so agitated that he hugged Ling Yun for an entire minute. He was so excited that he acted like a kid.

“Get your a** off me. If you don’t, I’ll kick you!”

As he watched Yao Rou well up with tears, Ling Yun thought, I haven’t even hugged my dear Rou Er yet. Now that you’re hugging me like this, what am I supposed to do?

He tossed Tang Meng aside and appeared by Yao Rou. He picked her up into his arms and gave her a huge kiss.

“Eh…”

Ling Yun was shocked. That was because he realized that Yao Rou’s body had more than the light energy of the Ground Yellow True Qi circulating. In fact, she was already at Houtian Realm Level Nine!

“Rou Er, how did you cultivate so quickly?” Ling Yun felt that this was simply unbelievable. That was because with Yao Rou’s physique, no matter how hard she trained, 12 days definitely wasn’t enough to reach this stage. Being able to get to the next minor realm would already be a huge feat. However, she actually passed one entire major realm.

Yao Rou blushed. “I’m not sure either. Didn’t you put the clinic on a ten-day leave? Other than preparing meals for Little Sister Xian Er, I spent the rest of my time cultivating. Yesterday, an indescribable feeling came over me. Before I knew it, I…”

Ling Yun knew what that feeling was, it was the elevation and cleansing one’s body and heart would receive when their major realm level increased. It was something difficult to describe.

Ling Yun thought about it. He felt that the reason Yao Rou cultivated so quickly was because of her focus and resilience. No matter what she set her mind to, Yao Rou was far too focused. Her focus was a hundred times more intense than a regular person’s. As such, she cultivated very quickly.

Yao Rou’s focus and persistence were simply terrifying. Not many people would be able to compare to her.

“Alright, Xian Er. In the future, don’t worry about the Ordinary People Clinic anymore! You should focus on cultivation!”

Ling Yun said this as he turned to the pouting Tang Meng. “Tang Meng, in the future, leave the matters of the Ordinary People Clinic to that… that Sun Yujiao. Let her handle everything, and don’t disturb your Big Sister Rou. Understand?”

Tang Meng nodded. “I understand, Brother Yun…” However, he wondered whether there would be anyone else who could be left in charge if Sun Yujiao also turned into his woman one day…

Tie Xiaohu and Abing arrived soon after. After glancing at Tie Xiaohu, Ling Yun knew that he had reached Houtian Realm Level Six. There was a wisp of Xiantian True Qi within his body. Also, he cultivated the Raging Waves Internal Skill that Ling Yun customized for him. Thus, his cultivation speed was fast.

Qin Dongxue and Ning Lingyu arrived as well. Even Aunt Mei rushed over. All of them came to congratulate Ling Yun.

Xue Meining and Miao Xiaomiao arrived too. Lin Menghan, Long Wu, Zhang Ling…

Even Murong Feixue was there.

Following them, Cui Lao, Miracle Doctor Xue, Murong Wenshi, Song Zhengyang, Yu Shengjin…

Everyone that should be there was there. In an instant, Mansion Number One was so crowded that it seemed like an epidemic swept over it. Ling Yun was so busy that he didn’t have time to entertain everyone at once. They were all looking for him, and he didn’t know who to talk to first.

With so many people there, cooking wasn’t an option anymore. Ling Yun told Tang Meng to call Shangri-La Hotel and make a reservation for several VIP rooms. He was going to have a meal there with everyone.

However, Miracle Doctor Xue laughed. “No need for that. By the time you call, the dishes will be cold. Before I came, I reserved five rooms at the Shangri-La Hotel. Let’s head there now…”

Evidently, the elder was the most prepared. Miracle Doctor Xue had Ling Yun’s interests in mind.

In the afternoon, the place was crowded. Everyone was excited as they made pleasant exchanges, chatting while they congratulated Ling Yun.

Ling Yun didn’t hide anything. After he drank enough wine, he stood up and told everyone that he was going to leave Qingshui City in the next few days. He told them that he was heading to Beijing to settle some matters, telling them not to worry.

As for what Ling Yun planned to do in Beijing, only a few knew about his plans. The others weren’t aware. For those who were unaware, they naturally didn’t treat it as an important matter. That was because Ling Yun had completed his college examinations. From Qingshui City to Beijing, they could arrive there in an afternoon by plane. It was very convenient. Furthermore, all of them had been to Beijing before.

However, Cui Lao, Qin Dongxue, Murong Feixue, and some others knew about Ling Yun’s plans in Beijing. Especially for Murong Feixue, her expression changed in an uncharacteristic manner. However, she covered it up very well immediately after.

Zhang Ling could also guess what Ling Yun was going to Beijing for. He definitely intended to find Cao Shanshan. However, she didn’t expect Ling Yun to be handling something far more important.

In an instant, the entire party fell into their own thoughts. Some congratulated Ling Yun, wishing him a safe trip and an enjoyable time. However, some gave their regards, telling him to stay safe and take care of himself.

After lunch, the banquet was over. Each returned to handle their own matters while Ling Yun returned to Mansion Number One.

The people who returned with him were naturally Qin Dongxue, Ning Lingyu, Bai Xianer, Tang Meng, Tie Xiaohu, and the others. The others knew that Ling Yun needed time to prepare many things, so they didn’t follow.

“Big Brother, I want to go to Beijing together with you…” Ning Lingyu wasn’t at ease. She was the first one to suggest accompanying Ling Yun.

Ling Yun patted Ning Lingyu’s shoulder. “Lingyu, not this time. Big Brother has something very important to handle. You’ve just started cultivating. It’s better if you stay here and focus on that!”

Ning Lingyu was upset as she bit her lip and said, “Big Brother, cultivation is the same wherever I go. I’m worried about you…”

Ling Yun laughed. “Lingyu, think about it, you’re living in Qingshui Wharf now, while I’ve been sleeping at Mansion Number One recently. We haven’t met for dozens of days. Since we won’t meet anyway, this isn’t any different. Am I right?”

Qin Dongxue naturally understood what Ling Yun meant. She knew that Ling Yun was heading straight for danger on this trip and that there was no way he could let Ning Lingyu follow. So, she helped Ling Yun and began to convince Ning Lingyu.

“Brother Yun, I want to go with you…” Tie Xiaohu remained silent for a long time. However, he finally spoke up.

Ling Yun laughed gently. “Your cultivation has been going really well. It’s better if you reach the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Nine first…”

“Brother Yun, what about me?” Tang Meng asked passionately.

Glaring at him, Ling Yun said, “What are you joining in for? You should focus on running your business!”

Qin Dongxue finally convinced Ning Lingyu. Staring at Ling Yun for a long time, she couldn’t help but say this with worry, “Brat, then, who are you taking with you? I won’t let you go to Beijing alone.”

Ning Lingyu couldn’t go, and Qin Dongxue had to protect Ning Lingyu. Naturally, she couldn’t leave either. So, she could only send someone else to go with him.

Ling Yun thought about it as he said, “I’ll make some preparations and go to Beijing with Cui Lao. This trip shouldn’t take too long. We’ll be back soon.”

With that, Bai Xianer was frustrated. She thought that Ling Yun would definitely take her along. However, Ling Yun didn’t have any intention of doing that. She pouted angrily.

“I want to go too!”

Bai Xianer was very direct as she complained that she wanted to go on the trip too.

Of course, Ling Yun wanted to take Bai Xianer along. However, Ling Yun was worried about the Japanese and the Devil Sect’s Holy Virgin showing up. He was also worried that once he went to Beijing, the Sun Family and Chen Family would send men to Qingshui. Qingshui City needed a true expert to protect it. So, he decided to leave Bai Xianer behind.

Qingshui City was far too important to Ling Yun. He didn’t want anything to go wrong.

Even though the previous generation’s Devil Sect’s Holy Virgin was his biological mother, this generation’s Devil Sect’s Holy Virgin was someone he didn’t know to be friend or foe yet. If she decided to pay a visit, the only person who would be able to match her was Bai Xianer. Even Qin Dongxue wasn’t the Devil Sect’s Holy Virgin’s opponent.

“Xian Er, you really can’t go. Once I leave Qingshui City, Lingyu, Ning Er, and Tang Meng need someone to protect them. After I return, I’ll take you there again. How’s that?”

Ling Yun continued to coax her. However, no matter what he said, Bai Xianer refused to listen. She wanted to go with Ling Yun no matter what. Finally, Ling Yun had no choice. He changed his tactics to intimidating her instead. His expression fell dark immediately. With that, Bai Xianer finally accepted it with teary eyes, looking very wronged.

“Ling Yun, since you’re going, you’d better prepare properly. Remember, once you’re in Beijing, if anything happens to you, the Qin Family has your back!”

Qin Dongxue said this with conviction. Then, she said this telepathically to Ling Yun, “Brat, the Devil Abolishing Conference at Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Wind Thunder Valley will take place in a few days’ time. Are you going to make it for that?”

Ling Yun replied telepathically, “Aunty, relax. Even if I won’t be in Qingshui City, I’ll definitely show up at the Devil Abolishment Conference…”

The Devil Abolishment Conference was a place Ling Yun definitely had to go. That was because the Tranquil Sect was definitely going. Ling Yun still wanted to meet Zhuang Meifeng again. Even if he couldn’t meet her, he would be able to find someone whom he could extract information from.

The main purpose of his trip to Beijing was to meet his grandfather, Ling Lie. Then, he would find a way to track Cao Shanshan’s whereabouts. No matter what happened to the Cao Family, Ling Yun intended to save Cao Shanshan!

Meeting Cao Shanshan was something he could definitely achieve after he reached Beijing. In fact, once he found out where the Cao Family was, Ling Yun could head there to find her whereabouts. When the time came, he just had to play by ear.

Qin Dongxue had secretly told Ling Yun about Qin Wei’s contact details. Then, she reminded him gently, “Beijing is the place where the strong gather. The families there are well-established. Many secretive sects in China are there. In fact, most of the foreign power and political struggles are there. You have to be careful!”

Ling Yun nodded seriously, indicating that he understood. He said to Qin Dongxue, “Aunty, I know. I now have enough power to protect myself. I won’t fall into danger again!”

She didn’t want to hold Ling Yun back from preparing for his trip. Qin Dongxue took Ning Lingyu and Xian Er, who were reluctant to leave, with her. Together with Aunt Mei, they returned to the mansion at Qingshui Wharf.

Ling Yun left Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu behind. He left these two to attend to matters for him. After working for two entire days, Ling Yun concocted the Shichiyou Pill. In fact, he prepared a total of 120 of these pills.

Each Shichiyou Pill was as large as a yellow bean. Each was pure white and held a hidden glow. Amongst similar pills, they belonged to the top-grade.

This was the most important item that would help Ling Yun reach Qi Cultivation!
