The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 36 The Adorable Girl Feng Yuqing

Half a month later...

In a secluded courtyard, a man of extraordinary bearing was practicing his boxing techniques slowly under several bare old trees.

A carpet of withered yellow leaves spun and rippled in rhythm with the man's movements, sometimes swift, sometimes gentle, filling the air with a mysterious aura...

Autumn has arrived, and the autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves!
Feng Ling felt a little sad. It had been half a year since he left the Seven-Colored Spirit Mountain. He wondered how his master and two senior brothers were doing.
Through the connection with the clone, the original body successfully became an inner disciple of the Jade Purity Sect.

In fact, with Feng Ling's current cultivation level as a ninth-level advanced ghost spirit master, he could easily become a core disciple, but his purpose in entering the Jade Purity Sect was not to become someone else's disciple!

However, Feng Ling did not actually become an apprentice, because the Jade Purity Sect did not have a clear rule regarding which master a disciple had to become!

Almost all inner disciples are taught by several elders who do not accept disciples, unless a disciple successfully becomes an apprentice of another elder or another elder takes a liking to a particular disciple.

While seemingly relaxed and hands-off, this actually further ignited the disciples' ambition. According to my understanding: there are tens of thousands of outer disciples and registered disciples, all of whom are low-level ghost spirit masters; there are over five hundred inner disciples, all of whom are mid-level ghost spirit masters; and there are over twenty core disciples, all of whom are high-level ghost spirit masters.

Seventh-level disciples all aim to advance to the level of advanced ghost spirit master and become core disciples, while core disciples at the ninth level and above can apply to become inner sect elders of the Jade Purity Sect if they pass the ninth level assessment of the Ghost Locking Tower.

With such outstanding disciples, the higher-ups are naturally exceptional as well: over a dozen elders at the ninth rank or above, the sect leader a legendary ghost spirit master at the thirteenth rank, the grand elder at the eleventh rank, plus a mysterious elder from the library!
Such power is nothing short of terrifying!
"Junior Brother Feng Ling~!" A melodious female voice came from outside the courtyard. It was supposed to be comforting, but Feng Ling felt a chill run down his spine.

"Why is that little witch here again?"

Feng Ling frowned but did not respond. He dared not, and could not afford to, offend this woman!

However, he clearly underestimated the other party's perseverance.

"Oh! You're pretending you're not home again. When have I ever seen you go out?" A graceful young girl climbed over the wall from outside the courtyard, her big eyes scanning the room before glaring at Feng Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"Hey Miss Feng Yuqing, why do you keep running into other people's yards?" Feng Ling's words only made things worse.

"Hmph! What other family? The entire Jade Purity Sect is mine, including you!" The girl's eyes were full of pride, and a slight blush flashed across her pretty face when she finished speaking.

Feng Yuqing – you can tell her identity just by her name!
She is the only daughter of Feng Tianjue, the sect leader of Yuqing Sect. The entire Yuqing Sect is named after her, which shows how much Feng Tianjue loves his precious daughter!

Feng Ling shook his head and smiled bitterly. Ever since I met you, I haven't had a single peaceful day!
how do I say this?

This Feng Yuqing is the pale-faced boy that Feng Ling saved before! A girl who is super cute and playful, she often sneaked down the mountain to fool around before Feng Ling came, but after Feng Ling came, she dragged Feng Ling along to fool around!
She's already seventeen! Playing around is one thing, but the worst part is that her cultivation level has reached the eighth level! It's infuriating!

Although he himself hadn't gone out much, Feng Yuqing kept running to his inner disciple's courtyard every few days, which naturally attracted a lot of attention. As a result, most disciples now knew that his "Qiufengwan" courtyard housed a girl who had become an inner disciple as soon as she entered the sect!
As time went on, the Jade Purity Sect Master naturally became aware of this. After learning that he was a pawn planted by Ling Weiyun's clone, he actually turned a blind eye to Feng Yuqing's actions!

A few days ago, Feng Ling had his clone persuade Feng Tianjue to stop her by saying it was "immoral," so that he could get rid of this witch completely. Unexpectedly, Feng Tianjue replied to his clone: ​​"She's just a child, it's nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling was already furious. However, she didn't know where Feng Yuqing had gotten the information that the clone had "advised" Feng Tianjue. As a result, the girl didn't give Ling Weiyun's clone a good look and gritted her teeth, wishing she could kill him!

I wonder how she would feel if she knew that both of them were Feng Ling!

Anyway, Feng Ling himself feels strange now, comparing Feng Yuqing in two different emotional states in two different bodies every day.

In fact, this disparity isn't unique to Feng Yuqing; everyone experiences it, but this girl's is just a bit too pronounced. When someone assumes two identities, they naturally perceive things from different perspectives. Perhaps only in this way can one better understand the people and things of this world!

"Tell me, where are you taking me today?"

Feng Ling was also helpless, knowing that this girl must have found some exciting new thing and wanted him to try it out with her!
"The tenth floor of the Ghost-Locking Tower!"

A hint of joy flashed in Feng Yuqing's eyes, and without thinking, she spoke up.

"Nonsense! Do you think you can just go anywhere like that?" Feng Ling was a little annoyed. This girl was really audacious. Even he didn't dare to easily set foot on the tenth floor of the Ghost Locking Tower, even though his clone had been nourished in the tower to the tenth level.

My clone has been guarding the Ghost Locking Tower for half a month now, escorting countless inner disciples into the trial every day, and the highest level it has ever reached is the ninth floor.

The tenth floor itself cannot pose a danger to Feng Ling, but the guys living on the eleventh floor can cross the barrier of one floor and transmit a portion of the legendary ghost power to affect the trial participants on the tenth floor!
This is why the inner sect elder assessment is set at the ninth level, rather than the tenth!
The Ghost-Locking Tower is said to have been left behind by ancient ghost spirits. It is generally divided into seven levels, with the remaining levels varying in number. Each level corresponds to a level of cultivation for a ghost spirit master. For example, the Ghost-Locking Tower of the Jade Purity Sect has eleven levels, each corresponding to a legendary ghost of level eleven!

Almost no one in the sects who is not a mid-level Ghost Spirit Master or above knows about the existence of the Ghost Locking Tower. Just like the Weiyun Sect, there is no Ghost Locking Tower in the sect, and none of the disciples know about it. Even Ling Weiyun, a high-level Ghost Spirit Master, did not enter a "regular" sect before his death, so he did not know!
Previously, Feng Ling had doubts about how high-level Ghost Spirit Masters in the Ghost Spirit Continent advanced, but now it seems that the strength of a sect largely depends on the level of the Ghost Locking Tower it possesses!
No one knows exactly how many Ghost-Locking Towers there are in the world, but every legitimate sect must have one.

Influenced by this factor, almost all ambitious ghost spirit masters will choose to join a sect that suits them, otherwise they will have to go to the deep mountains and forests, the underworld crevices and the chaotic burial grounds of the underworld to fight for their lives in places where high-level ghosts are hidden!

"Hmph! If you're not going, then I'll go alone!" Feng Yuqing pouted her cherry lips, feeling very dissatisfied with Feng Ling's spoilsport. She had spent a long time thinking about how to come up with such a fun place.

"The guardians won't let you in!"

Feng Ling spoke calmly, without even glancing at the beautiful figure who turned and stormed off in a huff.

The best way to deal with this kind of willful young lady is to ignore her. Otherwise, the more you indulge her, the more she will act up!

"Hey! Junior Brother Feng Ling, you know I'm at odds with that new old bastard guarding the Ghost Locking Tower, so please take me with you!"

As expected, the beautiful figure who was about to step out of the courtyard turned around abruptly upon hearing this, quickly moved closer to Feng Ling, and spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice.

Old...old bastard!?

"Sigh!" Feng Ling's lips twitched violently, and he cried out inwardly: the sins he had committed, he would have to bear the consequences himself in the end!

"Ninth floor! We'll only go to the ninth floor!"

Seeing Feng Ling sigh, Feng Yuqing counted on her fingers, her tone full of negotiation, but a sly glint flashed in her eyes. She knew that success was just around the corner.

"Really only going to the ninth floor?" Feng Ling looked unconvinced, but he couldn't resist her pleading, big eyes.

Holy crap! Is it really necessary to be this cute?
So cute it melts your heart, you can't help but want to pinch her fair and tender face.

To make things easier for readers, I will try to update around 8 AM from now on. I will no longer update in the early morning; I don't want you to stay up all night waiting.
