Chapter 41: Making a Pass at Nangong Qing

“It goes to show that you cannot compare yourself with others or you’ll lose your mind!”

Ling Xiao smiled bitterly to himself. His little maid was quite something to inherit the Netherworld Bloodline. Not only had it blessed her with a unique physique, but that had also granted her easy access to the Pulse Unsealing Boundary in Pinnacle state.

As long as Xue Wei was willing, she could open up a Sea of Qi in her Dantian and make her way into the True Qi Boundary!

It was a stark contrast to Ling Xiao’s body which had proved to be quite hopeless. After many attempts of tempering, he finally pulled through to Pulse Unsealing Boundary in its Pinnacle state with the help of the spiritual energy essence in Longevity Tower and the two innate spiritual seeds, Black Heavy Water and Diversified Golden Lotus Fire.

Nevertheless, Ling Xiao was content with his current body state.

Assisting Xue Wei to suppress the Netherworld Chills had, in turn, made Ling Xiao a recipient of a great marvel. The pure Netherworld Chills had pushed him through to the ninth tier True Qi Boundary!

No one would believe their ears if they found out that he broke through six minor boundaries in a day.

Even the greatest genius would not recklessly vault through boundaries as Ling Xiao did.

Having already achieved the Supreme Boundary, Ling Xiao did not have such concerns. In fact, he could easily advance in boundaries as long as his strength met the requirements.

Moreover, since Pulse Unsealing and True Qi Boundaries were basic stages, it was a child’s play for Ling Xiao.

However, it would not be as easy once he achieves Spiritualization Boundary.

The Spiritualization Boundary had a direct relationship with the polishing of True Qi and tempering of the physique. If he were to take one step too fast, it would cause instability in his boundary.

“It will only spell trouble if others were to notice the speed at which I am cultivating!”

At that thought, Ling Xiao gently withdrew his life force until it was set at the fourth tier True Qi Boundary.

This secret technique of restraining his life force was also part of the Sky Devouring Secret Technique, even a Grandmaster Boundary master would not be able to see through Ling Xiao’s hidden cultivation.

Before Ling Xiao left, he fed Xue Wei a few spiritual medicines for her to calm her mind and rest well.

By the time Ling Xiao left Jin Se Pavilion, he realized that Liu Piaopiao was missing.

Instead, Liu Piaopiao left behind a note for Ling Xiao outside Jin Se Pavilion.

“I have an emergency back at home. I’ll be back soon after I’ve attended to it. Please do not miss me.

“Piaopiao.”

Ling Xiao was taken aback by Liu Piaopiao’s leave without saying goodbye. Did she leave because she had sensed trouble since he was now in Lin Shan’s bad books?

In the back of Ling Xiao’s mind, he had an inkling that Liu Piaopiao was not a person of that sort.

Hence, without putting much thought into it, Ling Xiao let her be.

Ling Xiao’s gaze then fell onto the bamboo forest and eventually to a woman in white who was standing amid.

With a long sword behind her back, the woman’s white garment and wisps of hair fluttered in the wind; her refined and beautiful facial features gave out an unearthly celestial-like vibe.

“Why are you here? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll be dragged in with me for getting in Grand Supreme Elder Lin Shan’s hair?”

Ling Xiao let out a laid-back smile. The woman before him was Nangong Qing.

“How can you smile at a time like this?”

Nangong Qing trod forward before she darted a glance at Ling Xiao who was currently a pain in her neck. “Do you know Grand Supreme Elder Lin Shan is about to leave isolated cultivation? His cultivation is higher than my father yet you killed his only grandson. My father won’t be able to stop him if he raises hell!”

Ling Xiao smiled without a care in the world. “Nangong Xuan should be cultivating the Longevity Supreme Scripture in isolated cultivation, right? If he can’t even handle Lin Shan, then even a pig that was handed the same scripture is better than him!”

“You…”

Infuriated, Nangong Qing breathed through her clenched teeth. “How did you get your hands on the Longevity Supreme Scripture?”

Nangong Qing finally asked the question that had bothered her the most.

She was itching to put an end to Ling Xiao after her return from the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range but was told by Nangong Xiao that Ling Xiao had found the Longevity Supreme Scripture. She also could not believe that Ling Xiao had become the Longevity Sect’s Saint.

However, she felt like she was in a dream when she became the receiving end of Longevity Supreme Scripture’s true legacy, and it prompted her curiosity for Ling Xiao to grow.

“Oh, so you’re not here to seek revenge for the Ferocious Beast Mountain Range incident because I found the Longevity Supreme Scripture?”

Quietly approaching Nangong Qing, Ling Xiao made a pass at Nangong Qing while he lifted her chin up with a finger.

For some reason, Ling Xiao could not help but poke at Nangong Qing who carried herself in a celestial-like manner.

“You… B*stard!”

Nangong Qing was dumbstruck but her face quickly flushed red, drawing a layer of pink all over her fair neck. Trembling in anger, Nangong Qing spoke with her teeth clenched.

The incident in Ferocious Beast Mountain Range was a nightmare to Nangong Qing. This b*stard had seen her bare naked from head to toe and she wished she could end Ling Xiao every time that thought came into mind.

About to burst from anger, Nangong Qing was tempted to draw her sword at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao smiled. “I would advise you to stop what you’re doing. You’re no match for me. As to why I’ve managed to obtain the Longevity Supreme Scripture, it’s because I’m Ling Xiao, of course. The old man, Sky Devouring Supreme said he thought highly of me!”

Nangong Qing was on the verge of drawing her sword to split Ling Xiao’s beaming face apart when she quickly realized that she may not be Ling Xiao’s match.

Although she had procured the Longevity Supreme Scripture’s legacy, she had just begun cultivating it. Similar to Lin Haoyu, her cultivation was at ninth tier Spiritualization Boundary but she was still lacking behind even though her cultivation was slightly better than Lin Haoyu’s.

Ling Xiao’s cultivation was at third tier True Qi Boundary when he killed Lin Haoyu.

Yet Ling Xiao was now at fourth tier of True Qi Boundary even though it had not been long since that incident.

‘I’ll teach this boy a lesson when I breakthrough to Dragon Tiger Boundary and master a few martial arts on the Longevity Supreme Scripture!’

Nangong Qing held it in together at that thought and with gritted teeth, she exclaimed, “You little b*stard! Sky Devouring Supreme patriarch told you that? I don’t believe that he thinks highly of you, I think you’re bluffing!”

Ling Xiao smiled without saying more, but his casualness on the matter left Nangong Qing with a long face.

“I’m sure you’re not here to ask me how I obtained the Longevity Supreme Scripture?”

With a smile, Ling Xiao came straight to the point.

“Of course not!”

Although Nangong Qing was unhappy with Ling Xiao, she still answered, “You’re in trouble for killing Lin Haoyu. I have informed my father and he should be out of isolated cultivation soon. He will put a stop to Lin Shan but you can’t remain in Longevity Sect. This is for you. You should leave! The further away the better and don’t come back before you achieve Grandmaster Boundary!”

Nangong Qing hurled Ling Xiao a storage pouch.

Ling Xiao caught it and took a look inside. There were over a million superior spiritual stones and other valuable spiritual pills and medicines.

That old man, Nangong Xuan was so good to him that he was willing to go against Lin Shan for his sake and fork out these many resources.

After all, removing these resources would put the Longevity Sect in a vulnerable position.
