Chapter 35 Big Problem

Early the next morning, Rongshan pushed open the gate, looked in the direction, stepped on the bluestone bricks, and the muffled footsteps echoed in his ears.

The instructions from my master and uncle last night came to my mind again.

Zhang Huaidan and Zhang Lingyu went down the mountain to gain experience this time, and Zhang Lingyu got into trouble.

Even my master and uncle were unwilling to tell.

The task of finding a breakthrough naturally fell on him.

Thinking of this, Rong Shan was also worried. He stood outside Zhang Lingyu's yard door and knocked on the door gently.

The door opened quickly. Zhang Lingyu looked haggard, with dark circles under his eyes. "Ninth Senior Brother."

Rong Shan felt heartbroken, but he knew he couldn't just ask, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Zhang Lingyu shook her head: "No, I slept well."

Seeing him lying with his eyes open, Rongshan was both angry and heartbroken.

Since Lingyu was not injured and his cultivation level did not regress, there was no need to guess too much, there must be something wrong with his state of mind.

The two went down the mountain this time.

What kind of outrageous thing happened that caused Lingyu to become like this?
"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, take your time. Lingyu doesn't even want to tell Master, so I won't get anything out of him if I ask!"

Rongshan thought silently in his heart and smiled.

"Let's go to Huaidan's courtyard. We haven't seen each other for a few months. I wonder how much your cultivation has improved. Senior Brother needs to test you!"

"Okay." Zhang Lingyu nodded.

His eyes were wandering around without focus, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Rong Shan was secretly worried. This problem was really not small at all. If it was not solved soon, Ling Yu would probably develop a mental demon in the future!
Zhang Huaidan's yard was just two steps away, and the two of them quickly reached the door.

The door opened.

Zhang Huaidan smiled slightly and said, "Ninth Senior Brother, it's so early."

He looked radiant and full of energy, and it was obvious that he had a good rest last night.

There was another thing that caught Rongshan's attention. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Zhang Huaidan seemed to be more mature than before and more like a man.

Rongshan thought to himself.

"During the training, Huaidan turned fifteen. In ancient times, this would have been considered an adult, and he should have looked like a man."

However, Zhang Lingyu looked haggard and had dark circles under his eyes, while Zhang Huaidan was in high spirits and looked very happy. Could it be that he was not worried about his junior brother at all?

Thinking of this, Rong Shan glanced at him and said, "You've had a good rest."

Zhang Huaidan didn't answer him. "Lingyu, I told you not to take it to heart. Why are you still brooding over it? It happened and it's over. Why be like this?"

Of course Zhang Huaidan would not ignore Zhang Lingyu.

Looking at his haggard face at this moment, my scalp just felt tingling.

It was totally unnecessary. I had been trying to persuade him on the way back, but his true colors showed as soon as we reached the foot of the mountain.

Anyone with a pair of eyes could tell something was wrong with him, which made Master and his uncle suspicious. If they had known earlier, they shouldn't have gone through this training...

Ugh!
Zhang Lingyu cried, "Brother, I, I can't help it..."

Zhang Huaidan was helpless. He glanced at Rong Shan, who was eavesdropping openly with his ears perked up. "Come in."

Rongshan frowned inadvertently. What's going on?
I don't understand it at all, but one thing is certain!

Something big really happened to Zhang Lingyu!

At the same time, only Zhang Huaidan and Zhang Lingyu knew about this.

This incident made Zhang Lingyu unable to sleep or eat, but Zhang Huaidan seemed very relaxed. How heartless!

After entering the yard, Rongshan acted according to the plan and did not rush to ask questions.

He said with a straight face, "Huai Dan, Ling Yu, let's put things in perspective. I'm not like Master and Uncle-Master, who don't have the mood to deal with messy matters. There's only one thing I can't do: I can't slack off in my cultivation!"

Zhang Lingyu managed to regain some spirit: "Please ask Ninth Senior Brother to test me."

As he spoke, golden light appeared on his body, like flowing water, rising like flames, and like a golden robe possessing him.

Zhang Lingyu has now reached the third level of Golden Light. One more step up will bring him to the realm of Qi transformation!
Rongshan nodded and said:
"That's right, Lingyu. In my opinion, you have the potential to achieve Qi-transformation within three years!"

Rong Shan was slightly amazed. He could be said to have watched Zhang Lingyu step by step to where he is today.

In twelve years, he had cultivated to the third level of Golden Light. If he could make another step forward within three years, it would take fifteen years to achieve Qi transformation!

His cultivation speed is much faster than his own. With such progress and talent, he is also ranked among the best in the Tianshi Mansion within the past hundred years.

If he is said to be a hero of Longhu Mountain.

Then Zhang Lingyu is worthy of being the genius of Longhu Mountain!

A hero is just the best among men, while a genius is a natural talent!
Talking about cultivation, Zhang Lingyu temporarily put those things aside, his face slightly reddened. "Ninth Senior Brother, you're too kind. I actually feel that my cultivation is too slow. If we talk about what is fast, Senior Brother is the one who truly deserves the title."

Rong Shan nodded secretly and said with all his strength, "Huaidan, don't just stand there and watch. Tell Senior Brother to see how far you have come on the path of Qi transformation."

Zhang Huaidan smiled and deliberately adjusted the golden clothes formed by golden light to slowly cover his body surface. A golden hand emerged like grass and trees.

Rong Shan was very pleased: "Not bad, compared to the last time we sparred, you're a little faster. It seems you didn't waste your time!"

The look of amazement in his eyes was even more intense.

If Zhang Lingyu is a genius of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Huaidan can no longer find a suitable adjective.

You should know that Huaidan had already mastered the Qi-transformation technique at the age of twelve. In just nine years, his cultivation progress was more than twice as fast as his!
"Come and lend a hand to my brother!"

Rongshan performed his magic.

The speed of the big hand's transformation is even faster than Zhang Huaidan's. This is the result of his twelve years of practice.

The two brothers engaged in combat in the courtyard. After about thirty rounds, Zhang Huaidan jumped away and said, "My Qi power is running out. Ninth Senior Brother, I surrender."

Rong Shan still felt unsatisfied. Seeing Zhang Huaidan calm and composed, he didn't look like he was out of energy at all. He even had the illusion that he hadn't used his full strength.

He shook his head to get rid of this illusion.

"Huaidan, don't be discouraged. You have achieved what you have today after only three years in the Qi-transforming realm. That's quite remarkable."

Zhang Huaidan smiled: "Senior Brother Nine is right. I will continue to work hard."

Rongshan nodded.

There is still a sense of urgency in his heart. I remember that in last year's sparring match, Zhang Huaidan lasted twenty rounds in his hands, and now he can last thirty rounds.

What rapid progress!
If Huaidan is given another three to five years of practice, he might be ahead of him in cultivation.

When I think of this, I feel melancholy but also relieved.

Huaidan is incredibly talented, so isn’t it only a matter of time before he surpasses me?
I have watched him grow up little by little, and all his progress is reasonable. When he really gets ahead one day, I will just accept it calmly.

Rongshan had a lot of thoughts and was thinking about saying a few words of encouragement.

Zhang Lingyu's face was gloomy, and he whispered, "Nineth Brother, Huaidan Brother, I'm a little tired."

Zhang Huaidan said, "Go back and take a nap. Remember, take it easy."

Rongshan frowned and watched him leave, waiting for the figure to disappear.

"Huaidan, tell me the truth. What happened to Lingyu during this training trip?"
