Chapter 786 Not convinced? Qingtan: Sister Qingzhu, you still need to practice!

As Ling Qingzhu's aura stabilized completely, the barrier set up by Fu Ye shattered at that moment.

Those who came here hoping to find treasure dared not move an inch, for fear of disturbing the person in front of them and being crushed to death.

"You little brat, you really are a money-devouring beast! Not only did you take the Pure Lotus Demon Flame from me this time, you also swindled me out of 3 billion Nirvana Pills. Do you think I should go to your master and tell her about this?"

Hearing Fu Ye's words, Ling Qingzhu smiled sweetly.

"Hehe, since you've already given it to me, it must be mine now."

"If all else fails, I can put in a good word for Lord Fu Ye with his master. She's been searching for you for the past few years."

Ling Qingzhu knew her master all too well.

She had never seen her master care about a man before, but with the appearance of Lord Fu Ye, her master seemed to be acting a little strange.

She, who used to meditate all the time, now goes out whenever she has free time, inquiring about Lord Fu Ye's whereabouts.

Although she returned empty-handed each time, she was still quite happy about it.

Upon hearing Ling Qingzhu's very strange words, Fu Ye flicked her forehead.

"Ouch!"

Even though her cultivation had reached the peak of the Nine Yuan Nirvana Realm, Ling Qingzhu could still feel the power of Fu Ye's head-slapping.

"You're already twenty years old, and with my help, your strength is barely at the peak of the Nine Yuan Nirvana Realm. If you don't work harder, do you think you'll ever have a chance to break through to the Reincarnation Realm in this lifetime?!"

Hearing Fu Ye's reprimand, Ling Qingzhu, in pain, pouted unhappily.

"Hmph, so what if I'm twenty? I can break through to the Nirvana Realm on my own without your help."

Ling Qingzhu said in a low voice, but she was met with another flick on the head.

"You have absolutely no ambition. Back when I was twenty, I had already broken through to the peak of the Reincarnation Realm. Look at you now, if I didn't help you, you'd probably be having trouble even breaking through to the Nirvana Realm."

While Fu Ye was verbally reprimanding Ling Qingzhu, the cultivators standing around felt their heads buzzing.

A twenty-year-old at the Nirvana Realm—such talent is considered hopeless in the other party's eyes!?
Ling Qingzhu felt a pang of pain, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"I don't believe it. Unless you, Lord Fu Ye, find me someone who has broken through to the Life Profound Realm at the age of twenty, you're just bragging!"

Ling Qingzhu was extremely unconvinced. Even a prodigy couldn't possibly break through to the Life Profound Realm before the age of twenty!

But at that moment, the little girl Qing Tan standing next to Fu Ye had a confident smile on her face.

"Hehe, Sister Qingzhu, Brother Fu Ye didn't lie to you. I'm seventeen years old this year, and I'm already at the early stage of the Profound Realm!"

As Qingtan finished speaking, an immense, deathly power instantly enveloped everyone present.

Although Qingtan had no ill intentions towards those around her, being surrounded by this terrifying deathly power, even cultivators like Lin Langtian, who were at the third level of the Creation Realm, were no match for the deathly power emanating from Qingtan.

At this moment, Lin Dong felt not just like he was about to die, but like he was about to kick the bucket immediately. He was just a minor cultivator at the Yuan Dan realm; how could he possibly withstand this deathly power?
However, at that moment, the ancestral symbol in his palm emitted a shimmering white light, which helped him block out the deathly power.

The little ferret perched on Lin Dong's shoulder felt as if it wanted to die after sensing this aura.

As the most talented person in the Heavenly Demon Sable lineage, it took him a hundred years of cultivation to barely reach the peak of the Death Profound Realm.

But now he actually saw a seventeen-year-old girl become a powerful expert in the Death Profound Realm, and he was truly unconvinced!

"Holy crap! This little girl isn't a genius, she's not a prodigy, she's a complete freak!"

"A seventeen-year-old Death Profound Realm cultivator means she will definitely enter the cycle of reincarnation in the future! She might even be able to break through to the realm next to the void!"

When Lin Dong learned that his little sister Qing Tan, whom he had watched grow up since childhood, had actually become a powerful expert in the Death Profound Realm, Lin Dong's Dao Heart almost collapsed.

After all, he's already nineteen years old this year, and his strength is only at the Lesser Completion stage of the Yuan Dan realm.
At this moment, Ling Qingzhu was dumbfounded after sensing the aura on Qing Tan's body. That's right, this was indeed the aura and pressure that only a Death Profound Realm expert could possess!
"Alright, you don't need to be too discouraged. After all, my little apprentice Lin Xia is about the same age as you, and her current strength is only at the eighth level of Nirvana. Your talent is actually not that bad."

Upon hearing Fu Ye's words, Ling Qingzhu felt as if she no longer recognized the world.

What's going on? Why are there so many geniuses around Lord Fu Ye?!

No, that's not right!

It's not that there are so many geniuses around Lord Fu Ye, but that following Lord Fu Ye will turn you into an unparalleled genius!
Recalling how Fu Ye had helped her fuse that divine fire and casually pulled out 3 billion Nirvana Pills, Ling Qingzhu now firmly believed that it wasn't that her talent was too weak, but rather that the resources in Lord Fu Ye's hands were enough to make anyone a brilliant genius!

Soon after Fu Ye told Ling Qingzhu everything about the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, she left the Great Yan Dynasty.

After all, her current cultivation level has reached the peak of the Nine Yuan Nirvana Realm, and she also possesses the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which can purify all things in the world.

It can be said that even if she faced a powerhouse at the Death Profound Realm level, she would still have the strength to fight.

With her departure, Fu Ye also planned to take Feng Qing'er, Qing Tan, and Lin Xia to tour the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty.

He remembered very clearly that the tomb of the Black-Eyed Elder was unearthed here in the original work.

This was the previous owner of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, who single-handedly faced eight Demon Kings. Although he ultimately died, he used the power of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to kill all eight Demon Kings.

In the original novel, after obtaining the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, Lin Dong, inexplicably and drastically enhanced his cheat-like abilities by combining them with the power of the Ancestral Stone.

However, he did not want Lin Dong to obtain the so-called Devouring Ancestral Symbol.

As the saying goes, "Don't bite off more than you can chew." The "Lunyu" he gave to the other party was a method to become a saint, enough for him to cultivate to the half-step master realm.

If Lin Dong continues to use his cheat codes, the future situation may become uncontrollable.

Therefore, for the sake of the future of the Tianxuan Continent, he naturally could not allow Lin Dong to obtain the Devouring Ancestral Symbol as in the original story.

Yes, that's right, he was doing it all for the sake of the mainland.

Lin Dong: I picked up the watermelon but lost the cantaloupe. Although I didn't lose out, I still feel a little empty inside. (End of this chapter)
