Chapter 123: The Prodigy's Gathering! Shocking News, Long Aotian's Gender Transformation? (Part 1)
"Senior Sister."
At the Moonseizing Sect's Alchemy Pavilion, Wang Teng explained his purpose to Ji Ling'er.
His identity needed to be kept hidden from others, but with Ji Ling'er, there was no need for secrecy.
"I'd like to request your assistance," he said, taking out a piece of ore worth more than its weight in gold and offering it as a fee.
Ji Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she coughed lightly, saying, "We're all family here, no need for such formality. Don't do this again next time!"
As she spoke, the valuable ore was discreetly stored away in her storage bag. Wang Teng, noticing this, chuckled and took out the spiritual energy he had previously collected.
Then, a round of refining began.
For Ji Ling'er, this was not a challenging task; it was like a well-worn path.
After scorching the ore with Foreign Flame several times, she could not only confirm that there were no 'residual souls' hidden within, but she could also remove impurities, making it even purer.
"Thank you, Senior Sister, for your help."
Wang Teng, without hesitation, took the large clump of spiritual energy that had been confirmed safe and 'swallowed it whole.' Then, he sat cross-legged and began to absorb it with all his might.
Seeing this, Ji Ling'er didn't rush to attend to her own matters. Instead, she watched with a beaming smile, providing him with protection.
Elder Medicine was amazed, "This child has such great fortune!"
"This spiritual energy is so powerful. Its previous owner must have been an incredibly strong cultivator, perhaps even stronger than I was in my prime."
"In your opinion, how strong will he become after absorbing it?"
"His divine sense will rival that of the Sixth Realm!" Elder Medicine affirmed. "And even within the Sixth Realm, he won't be considered weak."
"From now on, his cultivation will be smooth sailing, without any bottlenecks, until his cultivation realm catches up with the strength of his divine sense!"
"The strength of a Sixth Realm divine sense?"
Ji Ling'er couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.
"If I had that kind of strength, even refining seventh-rank pills would be much easier, right?"
Refining seventh-rank pills wasn't too difficult for Ji Ling'er, but it was by no means a walk in the park.
"Everyone has their own opportunities."
"He has his good fortune, and you have yours."
"No point in envying others."
Ji Ling'er's face brightened with a smile, "After this, let's refine an eighth-rank Heaven's Eye Tower pill for Elder Zhao Tiezhu. Please assist me, teacher."
"Rest assured."
Elder Medicine also smiled, "But from now on, he'll be hard to get rid of, even if we try to chase him away."
"Haha."
Ji Ling'er's heart filled with silent laughter.
Unbeknownst to them, they had already managed to gather four Great Powers~
Once Elder Zhao Tiezhu made his breakthrough, there would be four Great Powers, albeit as 'unofficial members.' Still, as long as they remained at the Moonseizing Sect, it would add an extra layer of security.
...
Lu Ming opened his eyes.
By his side, Ya Ya, who had been waiting with a warm towel, immediately stepped forward to wipe his face.
Lu Ming smiled helplessly, "You're so adorable."
"Hehe, this is what Ya Ya should do."
Ya Ya's smile was radiant.
If others saw this scene, they would never associate her with the 'Tyrant Empress.'
Lu Ming rubbed her little head, his eyes narrowing as his smile widened.
"My cultivation has reached the second level of the Fifth Realm."
"However, after sharing the cultivation of all the disciples, I've directly entered the Sixth Realm?"
"It seems that not only did I make a breakthrough this night, but one or more disciples have also made significant progress!"
Before this, his cultivation was at the first level of the Fifth Realm, and after sharing, it reached the ninth level.
It seemed like he was just one step away from the Sixth Realm, but this step was a significant leap in cultivation, not something that could be easily crossed.
At the very least, it wasn't something he could achieve by simply advancing to the next minor realm.
But now, he had successfully overcome this hurdle, and it was clear that one of his disciples had provided the boost.
"What a pity it can't be quantified."
Amidst his joy, Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh.
His external cheat was truly powerful, though it couldn't directly enhance his combat strength or help him gain opportunities. He needed to cultivate it slowly, but if used correctly, it could propel him to great heights.
The issue was that it couldn't be quantified.
For example, when he shared the cultivation of his disciples, this problem arose.
Everything was very vague, and he had to rely on his judgment and intuition.
He couldn't directly see what kind of talent a particular disciple had, nor could he immediately discern their current cultivation level. If they weren't present, he had to merge with them one by one, sense their cultivation, and make guesses.
After a series of tests, Lu Ming finally identified the source.
"My disciple, Wang Teng, the Emperor Form?"
"He soared to the Fifth Realm and even directly advanced by approximately three minor realms?"
"!!!"
Lu Ming was shocked, "Such progress is beyond what ordinary opportunities can achieve. Could it be... he obtained the Lun Gu inheritance?!"
He was stunned.
Suddenly, he realized he hadn't given Wang Teng any spoilers.
Could it be...
After obtaining the Lun Gu inheritance, did he immediately start cultivating without hesitation?
"..."
Amidst his surprise, he initially wanted to contact Wang Teng through a Communication Talisman, but then he reconsidered...
"Forget it."
"It's fate."
"Although I've tried to help him break free several times, if he continues on this path, it's his destiny. I'll just have to think about how to help him afterward."
"Just make sure he doesn't go completely insane after the demonic transformation."
Contacting Wang Teng now to stop him from cultivating the Lun Gu inheritance?
If he had already started, he might even think his master was trying to stop him from achieving greatness.
Lu Ming sighed, and then, with Ya Ya by his side, he traveled to the North Region for some fun.
Since he had promised to spend a few days with her, it was time for leisure and enjoyment, not cultivation.
It was time to play and explore, like an old father taking his little princess to see the most beautiful sights and eat the most delicious food.
...
"Thank you, Senior Sister!"
Wang Teng, after consecutive breakthroughs, found his divine sense even more powerful than before. At this moment, he couldn't contain his excitement and stood up, but he still remembered to express his gratitude first.
"It's a simple task, and you even gave me Seven-Colored Mystical Gold?"
"That's an excellent material for crafting pill furnaces!"
"I must congratulate you, Junior Brother, on this fortuitous opportunity. It's truly a cause for celebration."
Xiao Ling'er was also delighted for him.
She, of course, was happy as well.
Seven-Colored Mystical Gold was the name of the ore.
A rare and precious metal ore, it was the perfect material for crafting pill furnaces and pill cauldrons.
Although she could use Foreign Flame as her furnace and refine pills without a pill furnace, a high-quality pill furnace and pill cauldron could still increase the success rate of pill refinement and provide various special effects.
For example, enhancing the potency of pills or even improving their quality.
Clearly, Wang Teng had put some thought into giving the Seven-Colored Mystical Gold.
"It is indeed a fortuitous opportunity, but to say how good this opportunity is..."
Wang Teng's mouth twitched, "Not necessarily."
Thinking of the Ancient Chaos inheritance, he needed to rely on a series of victories to birth a demonic fetus to 'enter the door,' and he felt a headache coming on.
After further consideration, he realized that Ancient Chaos hadn't forbidden him from telling others about it, had he?
Since that was the case, there was no need to hide it; he could just tell his senior sister directly.
Anyway, his senior sister would definitely not be interested in this broken thing...
Even a peerless talent who had won countless battles and was at the Holy Son level couldn't match her, so how could she be interested in this broken thing?
He immediately revealed his entire encounter.
Of course, he left out Lin Fan's instructions.
After hearing this, Xiao Ling'er was surprised.
"Such a thing happened?!"
"What I mean is, in this world, there's actually such a strange, such an unusual, and unique inheritance? It truly broadens my horizons."
"Not seeking victory, but seeking defeat, and then winning countless times...
She asked herself, if it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to persist for long, and cracks would appear in her Daoist Heart, or she might even completely collapse!
Occasional losses were fine, but who could accept a series of defeats?
Medicine Granny was also surprised, "The Ancient Chaos inheritance?"
"Teacher, you know about it?" Xiao Ling'er was shocked.
"He's one of the oldest figures in the Immortal Martial Continent, and I've heard of him during my lifetime, but it's been too long ago."
"I only know that he is indeed the most peculiar... Invincible."
"But if it's really him, he's been ascended for nearly a million years, but I never thought that only a remnant soul would remain in the Immortal Martial Continent."
"There must be some extraordinary events that have occurred, but it's too far from us at the moment, so there's no need to worry about it for now. Just take one step at a time and move forward."
"Moreover, have you forgotten about the 'Shading the Heavens and Covering the Earth'? There's an Ancient Chaos and a Wang Teng in it, and I always thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems it's not."
"Your teacher..."
"Could it be that he really didn't become an Immortal?"
Xiao Ling'er held her breath.
Her heart was filled with tumultuous emotions. At first, she hadn't thought about these details, but now, she couldn't remain calm, and her gaze at Wang Teng kept changing.
Then she said to Wang Teng, "Since you've made the Daoist Heart Vow, you should share this matter."
"But... don't overthink it."
"Although there's no inheritance of techniques, there are still some wondrous objects and treasures, which is good."
"Let's send out this inheritance as soon as possible."
She couldn't let this Wang Teng follow the same path as the other Wang Teng!
"It's manageable." Wang Teng spread his hands, "It seems that he experienced a terrifying battle in the Upper Realm, and his precious treasures and magic tools were already shattered and destroyed."
"What's left are things he didn't need at the time."
"I can only say that they're somewhat useful to me now, so it's not a loss."
"As long as it's not a loss." Xiao Ling'er smiled slightly, "Regarding finding a successor for him, do you have any leads, Junior Brother?"
"If we're talking about leads, I do!"
Wang Teng suddenly became excited and talked about the Intoxicated Immortal Tower's gathering of peerless talents, then invited Xiao Ling'er, "Senior Sister, are you interested in going together?"
"In about half a month, the Intoxicated Immortal Tower's gathering of peerless talents will have many Holy Son-level talents attending, right?"
"Yes! It's said that there will also be a small internal trading event where talents from various places can bring out their unused items for trade."
"They're all peerless talents, so their unused items should be good, right?"
"Hmm... I suppose so."
Xiao Ling'er paused slightly.
She wanted to go.
But her identity seemed a bit inappropriate, didn't it?
Would it cause trouble for her sect?
After all, if someone from Moonseizing Sect also went...
No, that's wrong!
She suddenly realized.
Even if someone from Moonseizing Sect went, what of it?
Even if that Seventh Princess was targeting her, what of it?
The enmity between Moonseizing Sect and Moonlit Sect was already unerasable, and her going or not going wouldn't change that.
As for Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty, if they wanted to stand up for the Xiao Family, it was the same!
Going there, on the contrary, could clarify their true attitude.
Moreover, that place was the Southwest Imperial Capital, where countless powerful cultivators from the Southwest Region gathered, and the rules were strict. Would they dare to make a move in the city?
At most, they could invite her to the Arena for a duel.
Duel...
What was there to fear?
Sword Son, I could defeat him without using my full strength, and the Moonlit Sect's Holy Son would be no different. I could defeat him too!
Qianyuan Immortal Dynasty's Seventh Princess? If she didn't make a move, it would be fine, but if she did, I wouldn't hold back.
Therefore, going there would allow her to witness various peerless talents, compete with them, understand their attitudes, participate in the small trading event, and help find a successor for Ancient Chaos.
Not only that, but if she could shine brightly there, she could also bring fame to Moonseizing Sect!
Although it was a bit reckless, the Moonseizing Sect would soon have four Great Power cultivators, and it was no longer an existence that anyone could bully, right?
(Chapter End)
Why fear the unknown? With this thought, she smiled slightly, "Go!"
"I'll go with you."
"That's perfect."
Wang Teng was delighted, "The journey ahead is long, shall we set off now?"
"Not so fast, I need to inform my master first."
"Yes, yes, we should inform the master. I'll go with my senior sister."
The two immediately headed to the Moon-Seizing Palace to inform them.
After hearing their plan, Lin Fan didn't stop them but reminded them to be cautious and stay alert.
As mentioned earlier, for these talented individuals and main characters, their paths are their own. If they are constantly restricted and prohibited, how far can they truly go? Their paths should be determined by themselves.
Whether it's seizing opportunities or facing crises, they must face and overcome these challenges on their own.
As a master, one can provide assistance and help in crucial moments, but cannot hinder or alter their chosen paths.
Of course, Wang Teng is an exception.
His original ending was already quite...
As Lin Fan looked at him, Wang Teng quickly stepped forward and shared his experiences.
Listening to Wang Teng, Lin Fan felt relieved.
"Not bad, you're quite smart."
Lin Fan smiled.
Although he was a strawman, his intentions were aligned with the original, so their thoughts were naturally the same.
Hearing this, he naturally felt happy.
"The ancient heritage of Luan Gu can indeed lead to immortality, but this path, I won't take it."
"After this, I'll find a path more suitable for you."
"Thank you, Master."
Wang Teng was delighted.
See!
I knew the master would have a more suitable path for me.
Who would want the heritage of that old fool from Luan Gu?
But...
Where should I find this 'fool'?
With this thought, Wang Teng was stumped again.
"Master, shall my fellow disciple and I set off now?" Xiao Ling'er said, "I've already prepared the necessary pills for these days. We should be able to return within a month, and it shouldn't delay any sect matters."
"Go without worry, there's no need to be concerned about the sect."
Lin Fan waved her hand, indicating that there was no need to worry.
There were some things he couldn't bring himself to say.
After all, your pill refining skills, I possess as well~ In fact, after sharing battle power, my cultivation is even higher, and pill refining becomes much easier.
Even if you have urgent matters and can't return, I can take over.
Regardless, the pills you refine will still pass through my hands, and no one but you will know how many pills you've refined~
If the pills run out, I can secretly refine some myself.
We can just say they're refined by you, who would know?
But...
As Lin Fan said this, it made Xiao Ling'er feel a bit guilty, and she secretly made up her mind to return quickly.
...
Spirit Sword Sect.
Elder Rao Zhi was in a great mood these days.
Usually, she would seclude herself in closed-door cultivation, leaving sect matters to the elders to discuss and decide. But during this period, she hadn't secluded herself at all. Instead, she roamed various parts of the sect, observing the sword inscriptions and sword towers left by her predecessors.
Alone.
Hmm...
And she brought a plant, San Ye.
On this day, when Jian Zi heard that his master was going to observe ancient sword inscriptions again, he couldn't sit still, "Master... what is she thinking?"
"She doesn't even ask me, her disciple, for advice, but instead takes San Ye to observe sword inscriptions and sword towers every day. Could it be that she considers San Ye her true successor?"
"Could it be that I, Jian Zi, have fallen out of favor?!"
He was stunned.
He was well aware of San Ye's talent.
At the very least, in terms of sword talent, San Ye surpassed him.
It was reasonable and normal for the master to take a liking to San Ye.
But...
He couldn't just give up, could he? Moreover, it's just a weed! A mere plant!
Humans and plants are different, it's unacceptable! Humans and plants, at the very least, shouldn't...
With a heavy heart, he approached, feeling anxious. From a distance, he saw Elder Rao Zhi sparring with San Ye!
San Ye was giving it her all, while Elder Rao Zhi smiled and guided her with her sword.
The sword technique she used was precisely the one from the ancient sword inscription!
What the heck?
The master personally accompanied and trained with it daily, even sleeping together. I heard she even went to the treasure trove to find many spiritual plant essences for its cultivation.
