Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

As the witch Linglong listened to the series of actions performed by Tu Magu and the Grand Wizard, she suddenly turned to look at Zhang Xiaofan and smiled:

"The Grand Wizard is old, and recently, without the nourishment of the sacred artifact, his mental state has become somewhat unstable. I hope Young Master Zhang will forgive him."

Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand dismissively and said:
"I am an old friend of the Grand Wizard. It was the Grand Wizard who taught me the Way of the Soul, which is why I have such a powerful soul today. I am only grateful to the Grand Wizard, how could I make fun of him?"

At this point, Zhang Xiaofan shook his head again and said:

“I just examined the Grand Wizard’s physical condition carefully. He doesn’t have much time left to live; he probably only has one or two years left at most.”

Upon hearing this, Linglong turned around, her curvaceous figure faintly visible in the dim light of the flames.

After a moment's thought, he finally said:
"The Great Wizard dedicated his life to the Golden Clan, which shows that his greatest wish was for the Golden Clan. Now that I have returned, the Great Wizard can leave with a smile and without regrets."

Zhang Xiaofan nodded upon hearing this.

At this moment, Linglong looked Zhang Xiaofan over and suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"It hasn't been that long since we last met, yet you've already reached the Taiqing Perfection realm, just one step away from becoming an immortal."

"Your cultivation speed is the fastest I have ever seen in my life."

“Ha…” Zhang Xiaofan chuckled softly and said:
"With your talent, you must have learned witchcraft just as quickly back then."

Linglong shook her head and said:

“That’s different. My soul was in the Xuanhuo Mirror back then, and I know your cultivation experience over the past twelve years better than anyone else.”

"Your magical power is incredibly profound, and your spiritual power is already dozens of times greater than that of ordinary people. Furthermore, you have cultivated the Divine Soul Path to enhance your spiritual power."

"In terms of physical body, he possesses a fully developed demon god's body."

"Even the most mysterious cultivation technique in the world... the Heavenly Book, you obtained four volumes of the Heavenly Book several months ago. Now, seeing your rapid progress, I'm afraid you've already obtained the fifth volume of the Heavenly Book."

"Therefore, even if my cultivation speed was comparable to yours back then, it was still far inferior to yours."

Zhang Xiaofan knew that Linglong was telling the truth. If he hadn't cultivated his magical power to be extremely profound in order to become an immortal, he would have already broken through to the Taiqing Perfection.

Zhang Xiaofan didn't mince words with Linglong, an old acquaintance who had witnessed everything he had done over the past decade, and replied:
"Indeed, thank you for your praise, Shrine Maiden."

"Witch Queen?" Linglong frowned, suddenly glared at Zhang Xiaofan, and said coldly:

"No formality."

“Ha…” Zhang Xiaofan smiled but did not answer.

Linglong took the prayer mat from under her body, placed it in front of her, and said:
"Young Master Zhang, please come and have a seat!"

“Alright!” Zhang Xiaofan didn’t stand on ceremony. He lightly leaped onto the high platform and reached out to pick up the futon.

I could only feel a lingering warmth, along with a faint, pleasant fragrance.

As expected of the shrine maiden Reirō, even her butt smells good, not smelly!
Zhang Xiaofan handed the prayer mat to Linglong and said:

"Here, I am a man and do not need a futon, but you are a beautiful woman and you need a grape to sit on."

Linglong didn't stand on ceremony, took the futon and placed it under herself, then sat cross-legged on it. Zhang Xiaofan keenly noticed this action.

He was just wondering why Linglong was squatting on the futon with her back to him, revealing her perfect back curve.

Now that Linglong is sitting cross-legged on the futon, it means that she deliberately squatted on the futon to show him her perfect back curve.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaofan rubbed his chin and thought to himself:

Am I really that handsome and charming that even Linglong is attracted to me...? Hehehe...

Linglong watched Zhang Xiaofan rubbing his chin, looking thoughtful. After all, she had followed Zhang Xiaofan for twelve years and knew him very well.

Therefore, she guessed that Zhang Xiaofan was definitely thinking something evil, just like when she often saw Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao doing something wicked in the Xuanhuo Mirror...

However, one thing left a deep impression on her: Zhang Xiaofan's physical abilities were simply too strong, befitting his status as a demon god.

Even though the original Beast God body was already incredibly powerful, it wasn't as strong as Zhang Xiaofan's Demon God body.

"Hmph!" Linglong suddenly snorted coldly, staring at Zhang Xiaofan with displeasure, and said in a cold tone of disappointment:
"Can you please stop thinking about evil things all the time? You've been thinking about these evil things for the past twelve years."

"With such great talent, you should focus all your energy on becoming an immortal and not waste this wonderful talent."

Zhang Xiaofan spread his hands, shrugged, and said nonchalantly:
"The purpose of becoming an immortal is to improve one's life. Therefore, one must enjoy life to the fullest on the path to immortality. Otherwise, if one is suddenly killed before becoming an immortal, wouldn't it be a waste to die before enjoying life?"

“You…” The witch pointed at Zhang Xiaofan, wanting to scold him, but suddenly paused, thinking about her own life, and felt that what Zhang Xiaofan said seemed to make some sense.

Looking back on her life, her extraordinary talent was discovered by her clan when she was young. After that, she was protected by her clan and became the only disciple of the previous generation of witch goddess. She was even separated from her parents.

She lived up to expectations, mastering the witchcraft taught by the previous generation of witches in just a few years and achieving a draw with the previous generation of witches.

Ten years later, she had reached a state of profound spiritual understanding and had far surpassed the previous generation of witch goddesses.

In the years that followed, the previous generation of witch goddess died when her lifespan came to an end. She felt a sense of urgency. With her already amazing talent, she had long since reached a dead end in the path of witchcraft, and the only way out was to become an immortal.

However, becoming an immortal is extremely difficult and practically impossible, so she settled for second best and simply wished for immortality.

So she took a different approach and chose to conduct an experiment, which led to the creation of the Beast God.

A few years later, the Beast God became out of control and injured several people. For the sake of the people, she finally chose to give her own body to the Beast God, so that he would lose his immortality, hoping that someone would kill the Beast God in the future and prevent him from harming the world.

Looking back on her life now, it seems she wasn't happy.

"Sigh!" Linglong suddenly sighed, frankly stating the truth:

“Zhang Xiaofan, you’re right. Immortality is something to be pursued. But the journey to immortality must also be filled with joy.”

"Otherwise, just like I did back then, who could have imagined that I would create a beast god, forcing me to sacrifice myself in order to rid the world of this inevitable catastrophe?"

"Back then, I was so skilled in witchcraft that no one before or since could rival me. I was confident that no one could defeat me and that I would never be in danger. I was so proud that I believed I could obtain the secret to immortality. But instead of obtaining the secret to immortality, I lost my life."
