2504 The Primary Stage of Yuan Ying Period

Because they were very close now, it wouldn't be impolite even if he ate before them. In addition, he would only fill his stomach a little. He wouldn't eat all the food.

As a foodie, it was torture for him to stand there and watch the delicious food.

However, right at this moment, Gu Ning and the others came back.

Once they were back, Gu Ning told Shangguan Yang about what had happened earlier.

After hearing the story, Shangguan Yang frowned. He knew that evil cultivators and monsters would come here and cultivate due to the thick magical power, but Jiang Liluo ran into them today and was almost killed.

Anyway, since Gu Ning had already killed the evil cultivator, it was over now. After all, he couldn't punish the evil cultivator's body. Actually, the body had been torn to pieces by Gu Ning, and there was barely a complete piece of flesh.

Gu Ning wasn't cruel enough to refuse to leave the body whole, but it might cause unnecessary trouble if other people saw the body.

"Luckily, you're fine. Don't go out alone in the future. There is no leader in the Kunlun Sect's place now, so evil cultivators and monsters all come here for the magical power. They're not afraid. If we run into evil cultivators and monsters at average levels, it won't be a big problem, but it might be a serious problem if we encounter stronger ones," said Shangguan Yang.

He was right. In fact, evil cultivators and monsters came to the Kunlun Sect's place for the magical power once in a while. However, they didn't visit here frequently, so they didn't find the back of the mountain.

After Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting intruded in, Shangguan Yang cast a formation on it when he left with them. Therefore, cultivators who didn't know formations couldn't get in, unless Shangguan Yang led the way.

"Sure." They replied.

Since there was no problem now, they were unwilling to be affected, so they went to eat together.

However, they suddenly heard a "boom" from the back of the towner. Gu Ning and the others were struck dumb for a second, then immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks. Without delay, they ran to the back of the tower.

The loud explosion was caused by Leng Shaoting when he broke through to the next level.

At this time, he had the least strength and couldn't breathe steadily. If he couldn't stabilize his breath, something bad might happen. For example, he could hurt himself.

When Gu Ning and the others arrived at the back of the tower, they saw Leng Shaoting weakly sitting on the ground cross-legged. However, he could hardly sit stably and leaned a little forward.

He did his best, trying to stabilize his body and breath. Only by doing that could he fill himself with strength again.

It was very difficult, but it was possible. It just completely depended on his determination.

Precisely because it required one's determination instead of strength, Shangguan Yang and the others did nothing after they came. They decided to let Leng Shaoting handle it on his own.

If he failed, they would help him then.

Gu Ning understood it too, so she did nothing as well. Although her heart ached for Leng Shaoting, she controlled herself.

They were cultivators, and it was something they had to suffer. Besides, there were more difficulties for them to deal with in the future. As long as they could handle it by themselves, they should rely on themselves.

If other people helped them with it, what should they do the next time if no one could help them then.

If they got into the habit of relying on other people's help and lost their own abilities, they could easily lose their lives.

Leng Shaoting had entered the primary stage of the Yuan Ying Period. This time, he didn't make progress over several levels, because it was becoming more and more difficult.

Anyway, it was already considered amazing that Leng Shaoting could break into the primary stage of the Yuan Ying Period within such a short time.

Although it was hard to stabilize his breath right now, Leng Shaoting soon overcame the difficulty.

Gradually, his breathing steadied and he regained his strength.

After regaining his strength, Leng Shaoting only felt more energetic, but he still needed to practice his skills in the Yuan Ying Period.

When Leng Shaoting was done, Gu Ning and the others walked towards him.

"Ha-ha, good for you!" Shangguan Yang smiled proudly. He was happy for Leng Shaoting's talent and the fact that Leng Shaoting was his disciple.

"Junior Leng is the most talented cultivator I've ever seen. Junior Gu is also very talented!" said Jiang Liluo. He didn't know which one between Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning was better, because he thought that they were both outstanding. Anyway, they were indeed the most talented cultivators he had ever seen.

Within only a year, Leng Shaoting had reached the Yuan Ying Period from being just a mortal, which had never happened before!

Gu Ning was also about to reach the Heartbeat Stage, and could break through to the Golden Core Stage after a year or so.

It was unbelievably rapid progress, but Jing Liluo wasn't jealous of them, since they belonged to the same sect. He would only feel happy for them that they were talented.

Other cultivators might get jealous, but it was meaningless.

In fact, compared with Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting was more talented. He didn't have magical tools to help him make progress. He only had the blood and talent for cultivation. Gu Ning, on the other hand, had super powerful tools, but her level was still lower than Leng Shaoting's. In that case, Leng Shaoting was more talented than her.

Gu Ning didn't care about that. Leng Shaoting was the man she loved, so no matter how much stronger Leng Shaoting was than her, she wouldn't be jealous of him.

She would just do her best to catch up with Leng Shaoting. Even if she couldn't be at as high a level as him, she wouldn't be much worse than him. She wanted to be together with him forever, and they would age at the same speed. After all, they could prolong their lives by cultivating.

"They're two exceptions. You two are also impressive. There aren't many cultivators who can reach the Golden Core Stage in their early twenties. Even back in our era, you were talented," said Shangguan Yang. He understood that Jiang Liluo and Si Jin wouldn't get jealous, but they were indeed amazing too. He was just being honest, but he also said it to comfort them.

Although he knew that they wouldn't think much about it, he felt he should pay special attention to their feelings.
