Mortal: Copying the entry, reborn as Linghu Patriarch

With a tap of the fingertip, one can instantly travel to Chapter 43, the Ancient Sword Sect, and comprehend the wondrous world of the Sword Stele.

"Fellow Daoist, please do not worry. Isn't my sect in the same boat?"

Linghu Qing spoke gently, offering soft words of comfort.

Images of Hong Fu, Yan Ruyan, Han Li, and others flashed through his mind.

Ok.

What I just said was just to comfort you. We're all socially adept, we'll understand.

"Fellow Daoist is right."

Cheng Tiankun believed it.

What kind of sect is Huangfeng Valley? Without Linghu Qing, it wouldn't even be as good as Luoyun Sect. The fact that Linghu Qing came out means they've definitely exhausted their luck.

He genuinely believed that Huangfeng Valley was also facing a shortage of talent, and for a moment, seeing Linghu Qing's gentle eyes, he felt a sense of shared misfortune.

Do you really believe it?

Linghu Qing met the other person's gaze, remained silent, and did not speak again.

Think whatever you want.

"Fellow Daoist Linghu, please take another look."

Cheng Tiankun carefully put away the herbs and was about to light the furnace to refine the second batch of pills.

"Wait!"

Linghu Qing raised his hand to gently stop him, "I'll refine this second batch."

Cheng Tiankun was suddenly stunned, his face full of astonishment.

The medicinal ingredients for the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill, the pure elixir of the Spirit-Eye Tree, are shared by the three sects of the Stream Kingdom.

He was given the task of refining everything.

The Luoyun Sect's quota was already scarce, and they gave two more to Linghu Qing. If they were to waste another batch, it would be an enormous loss.

But then I thought about it again.

Since the vice leader rarely speaks up, there's absolutely no reason for him to refuse.

Let's just consider this batch of medicinal herbs wasted.

He gritted his teeth and nodded, pretending to be generous in his agreement.

Consider it the price for befriending the vice-leader.

"No problem!"

"Since Fellow Daoist Linghu is itching to try, why not give it a shot? I'll guide you from the side."

If he failed to refine the pills, he would report it to the Ancient Sword Sect and the Hundred Crafts Academy, saying that he had made a mistake in refining the pills and wasted the medicinal materials.

Based on his reputation.

One mistake shouldn't be a big deal, right?

Linghu Qing took in the heartache in his eyes but did not point it out.

Step forward.

With a single grab, he threw all the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace.

The movements were casual and rough, lacking any refinement whatsoever.

"Cough cough."

"Fellow Daoist Linghu's alchemy techniques... are quite peculiar."

Cheng Tiankun, who was standing to the side, felt a pang of heartache and his face was full of concern.

This method doesn't resemble alchemy at all; it's clearly a wanton waste of medicinal herbs!

But the next moment.

The spiritual light within the alchemy furnace surged, and a rich medicinal fragrance continuously overflowed, permeating the entire alchemy room.

Cheng Tiankun froze on the spot, his eyes wide open, his face filled with disbelief.

A moment later, the stove lid was gently opened.

Three perfectly formed Spirit-Stabilizing Pills, brimming with spiritual energy, floated in the furnace, appearing even more lustrous and pure than the finished products he had refined.

It gently landed in Cheng Tiankun's palm.

"This extra one is a token of my gratitude for the gift of the elixir."

Linghu Qing said.

Cheng Tiankun looked down at the warm pill in his palm, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

After a long while, he finally looked ashamed and let out a long sigh.

"I originally thought I would show off my alchemy skills in front of the vice leader, but now it seems that I was just showing off my limited skills in front of an expert and made a fool of myself."

"Ridiculous, ridiculous indeed."

He shook his head repeatedly in shame.

"Why do you say that?"

"Fellow Daoist Cheng's mastery of alchemy is already quite remarkable. Looking across the entire Tiannan region, there are very few who can match you."

Linghu Qing patted him on the shoulder and spoke calmly.

"Thank you for the elixir today."

"I have an appointment with the Fire Dragon Child of the Ancient Sword Sect, who is still waiting for me. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, Linghu Qing turned to leave.

Cheng Tiankun hurriedly saw him off, watching his figure disappear into the distance, his heart filled with emotion and awe.

"Fellow Daoist Linghu, soar to the heavens!"

He was deeply impressed and couldn't help but sigh.

Such individuals are patient, unassuming, and incredibly capable; they are no ordinary people and their future prospects are limitless.

Thousands of miles away.

The Righteous Path of Tai Zhen Sect.

The palace was solemn and the atmosphere was somber.

Many sect elders sat solemnly in the hall, their expressions heavy and subdued.

"Linghu Qing of Huangfeng Valley, over seven hundred years old, specializes in cultivating his physical well-being and has never been skilled in combat..."

An elder in white robes held a dossier and read the intelligence report in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, some people in the hall couldn't hold back any longer and began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Is this what you call being bad at fighting?"

"Is the Intelligence Hall just fooling everyone in the sect?"

"Those who collected such absurd intelligence deserve to be severely punished with a thunderbolt!"

"Quiet!"

Above the main seat.

Master Zhiyang had a cold expression and gloomy eyes.

He swept his cold gaze across the room, then spoke calmly, silencing the commotion.

"Go on."

The elder in white suppressed his emotions, his voice growing increasingly heavy as he continued his report.

"However, just a few days ago, in the Battle of Jingu Plain in Yue, this man suddenly displayed unparalleled combat prowess."

"He was proficient in divine sense and used his dazzling divine light to kill the Ghost Spirit Sect elder, Soul Shattering True Man. He pursued him for thousands of miles and forced the Ghost Spirit Sect Master, Wang Tiansheng, to his death."

"He was proficient in array formations and set up a trap to kill the Heavenly Fiend Sect Master, Heavenly Fiend True Monarch, and the Demon Flame Sect Master, Flame Demon, causing their deaths and the destruction of their infants."

"Proficient in swordsmanship, he used a spatial sword formation to move the sect leader's Tai Zhen giant sword, shattering the Tai Zhen Seven Cultivators' ultimate killing formation with a single strike."

"He is proficient in escape techniques and his speed rivals that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. In the blink of an eye, he killed Fellow Daoist Zhu, one of the Seven True Immortals."

The elder's expression grew increasingly solemn as he spoke, and his voice trembled slightly.

Is this person a ghost?

Where did it come from?

All the elders in the hall had grim expressions, their hearts churning with turmoil.

He was proficient and strong in all of the following: formations, swordsmanship, escape techniques, divine sense, combat skills, and alchemy.

How could there be such an all-powerful cultivator in the world?

"With such heaven-defying strength, why was there not a single word about it for the previous seven hundred years?"

How could there be such an all-powerful cultivator in the world?

"With such heaven-defying strength, why was there not a single word about it for the previous seven hundred years?"

"Not only my Tai Zhen Sect, but no one in the entire Yue Kingdom, large or small sect, could have predicted how deeply this person was hiding his true abilities."

Everyone was puzzled and filled with doubts.

Why?

Why did he deliberately endure for hundreds of years?

It can't be just so that they can trick both the righteous and the demonic paths hundreds of years later, right?

Many people have speculated that his strength has recently increased dramatically, or that he has obtained some kind of opportunity.

But it can be completely negated in an instant.

Magical treasures can be obtained by chance, and secret techniques can be learned by opportunity.

However, innate physical qualities cannot be acquired through training.

He hid those mysterious purple divine eyes for seven hundred years!

There are also formations, swordsmanship...

Everyone else keeps one trick up their sleeve, but you keep three or four?

What kind of sinister person would do such a thing?

"Linghu Qing!"

Master Zhiyang sat upright in the main seat, his face ashen and grim.

The scene of being toyed with by Linghu Qing on the battlefield yesterday is still vivid in my mind, and anger and fear are intertwined in my heart.

"The Heavenly Dao Alliance was established yesterday!"

After saying this, Master Zhiyang remained silent.

The elders in the hall dared not speak loudly.

Even a loose coalition is difficult to deal with; now that they have united as one, their future expansion through legitimate means will be even more challenging.

at the same time.

Ancient Sword Sect.

Deep within the mountain gate, the sword stele has stood for a thousand years, ancient and weathered, its body covered with mottled sword patterns, exuding a profound sword intent.

Linghu Qing slowly opened his eyes, his inner light dimming as his mind returned to its proper place.

"Has the Vice Alliance Leader gained any insights? If not, that's alright."

"This sword stele has stood for a thousand years, and apart from the first sect leader, no one from ancient times to the present has been able to comprehend even a fraction of it."

"Some gains."

"What?"

Fire Dragon Boy's pupils shrank instantly, his face filled with shock.

"A unique sword technique is hidden within the stele, which only those with the Nine Spirits Sword Body can comprehend."

"Moreover, only those with the Nine Spirits Sword Body can cultivate it. Those without this physique cannot cultivate it even if they obtain the sword technique."

Linghu Qing explained slowly.

"So that's how it is! The first sect leader happened to be the Nine Spirit Sword Body! No wonder we couldn't understand it."

Fire Dragon Boy suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly.

wrong!

That's completely wrong!

"Vice Alliance Leader, you possess the Nine Spirit Sword Body?!"

Fire Dragon Boy jumped up in shock.

"Oh, no, I just happened to realize it by chance."

Linghu Qing remained calm and spoke in a nonchalant tone.

"A lucky break...and enlightenment?"

Fire Dragon Boy was stunned on the spot, his heart filled with turmoil.

The sword monument, which has remained uncomprehended for a thousand years, can be deciphered through comprehension alone, without relying on physical constitution.

Such comprehension is simply superhuman!

All that remained in his heart was a single cry.

Is what you're saying even human language?
