The forbidden area behind the Tianxuan Sword Sect.

A slender figure stood with his hands behind his back.

Lingxiu Tianjun... no, now he should be called Venerable One.

She looked down at the white-haired girl who was clinging tightly to her leg and crying her eyes out, her tone full of disdain.

"Get to the point, stop yelling!"

Lin Qingyu instantly went from tears to laughter. There was no need to act aloof in front of such a big shot; the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

She quickly summoned a weak blue phoenix from her beast-taming pouch, her face full of flattery:

"Grandpa, this is a pet I found. Can you heal it?"

Lingxiu's gaze fell on the battered and bruised Azure Phoenix, and her lips twitched slightly involuntarily.

A demonic beast at the Nascent Soul stage.

Moreover, this beast has a powerful bloodline, a profound spiritual essence, and its potential is far from being exhausted. It might be the guardian beast of some super sect!

But looking into the girl's clear, bright, and innocent eyes, she knew she wouldn't get anything out of her; this young girl was quite adept at playing dumb.

Putting aside the mysterious origins of this Azure Phoenix, its powerful Nine-Turn Foundation Establishment cultivation level alone raises many questions.

However… Lingxiu was too lazy to investigate further. As long as it didn’t harm the Tianxuan Sword Sect, that was fine. As for the secret?

As a cultivator, who doesn't have a few secrets?

Venerable Lingxiu flicked his sleeve, and spiritual light flowed from his fingertips, slowly covering the body of the Azure Phoenix.

Seeing this, Lin Qingyu felt a slight sense of relief.

Although the simulations have repeatedly confirmed that this ancestor is a trustworthy person, I still feel a little uneasy when facing her in the real world.

Their strength is still insufficient, and this way of relying on others is ultimately not the right path.

Of course, one thing is one thing, simulation is another.

Lingxiu withdrew her finger, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke under her expectant gaze:

"This beast had a large amount of its essence blood extracted previously, which damaged its core. It needs to be replenished with essence blood of the same origin and cannot recover on its own."

Hearing this answer, Lin Qingyu felt relieved.

Her system space contained a considerable amount of water drawn from the Phoenix Blood Pool, as well as three Phoenix Blood Jade pieces, which contained even purer bloodline energy, more than enough to treat the little Azure Phoenix.

"It seems you already have a treatment method."

Lingxiu looked surprised. It seemed that this person blessed by luck was indeed unique. Not only was his cultivation progress unreasonable, but he could also easily acquire all kinds of rare treasures.

"However, you must not take this blue phoenix out in public, otherwise I may not be able to protect you."

Hey ~

Lin Qingyu sighed softly to herself, feeling inexplicably weary.

It seems that not much of her skills and treasures can be revealed to the public... Is this the price of becoming a strong person?

Then bring it on even more fiercely!

"Aren't you going to get lost?"

Lingxiu looked at the girl's silly grin, her eyes almost overflowing with disgust.

"Ancestor, I wish to represent the Purple Cloud Dynasty in this year's Phoenix Cry Purple Cloud Grand Competition. May I go as a disciple of the Sword Sect?"

Lin Qingyu's eyes immediately became clear.

In the past, she would have preferred to keep her identity completely hidden and quietly amass wealth. But now, for the sake of righteousness, she has decided to reveal her true identity in some less dangerous situations.

She was really envious of the pills in the shop, as well as many other good things that could save her life.

Moreover, with Lingxiu as her powerful backer, many things might not be as dangerous as she imagined.

Seeing the woman's brows furrow slightly, Lin Qingyu quickly raised her watch to make a decision:

"Rest assured, Ancestor, in the Primordial Sword Tournament a hundred years from now, this disciple will surely claim the top spot and bring glory to our Sword Sect!"

"Hehe~"

Lingxiu sneered, her tone unfriendly.

"This was already a condition you agreed to before, and now you're bringing it up again to swear an oath. Are you planning to get your money's worth? Will you have to come and swear another oath next time something happens?"

"How did you know...?"

"What did you say?!"

Lin Qingyu immediately grabbed the woman's leg and shook her vigorously, whimpering:

"Waaaaah~ Ancestor! My life has been so hard, ever since I was little..."

"Alright, alright!"

Lingxiu wearily pinched the bridge of her nose, tossed out a token, and vanished without a word...

hum~

Now you know how powerful that is, right?

Why didn't you just agree? Why force me to use my ultimate move?

After skillfully putting away the token, Lin Qingyu slowly stood up, gracefully straightened her skirt, and resumed her aloof expression.

This series of actions left the little blue phoenix, who was not far away, dumbfounded.

It silently gazed at its massive body, its wise eyes lost in deep thought...

......

Several decades is not a long time, but it is enough to change a lot of things.

for example...

Inside the stone pavilion, Xiao Hei confidently placed a piece, then looked down at its master who was deep in thought.

Yes, its chess skills have surpassed someone else's.

Ling Shuanghua silently looked away, unable to bear the sight any longer.

Who would have thought that a genius girl with exceptional talent in cultivation would be so bad at chess, unable to even beat a cat?

Lin Qingyu bit her red lips, her mind flashing through 180 peerless chess scores, but she still couldn't find a move to deal with the ordinary chess game in front of her.

Zhou Xiaohei, who is inherently evil, must have secretly studied somewhere.

mean!

Lin Qingyu calmly tossed down the chess piece in her hand and sighed softly.

"The weather was bad today, which affected my performance. I'll try again next time."

Xiao Hei: "..."

Ling Shuanghua: "..."

"Boom!"

Just then, a deafening roar suddenly echoed across the sky, and dark clouds blanketed the distant Mingxiao Peak.

"Ling'er has formed her Golden Core."

Lin Qingyu stood up, put her hands behind her back, and spoke in a mysterious tone.

As expected, the person and the cat were drawn to her words and looked away from the chessboard.

"hateful!"

Ling Shuanghua's eyes were filled with envy.

She bit her lip, then sat back down on the stone bench, feeling somewhat deflated.

The resources her junior sister gave her that day were clearly more abundant than those given to Luo Ling'er, yet the little girl still managed to form her core first.

People's hearts are ultimately divided into those who are close and those who are distant.

Lin Qingyu's gratitude towards this senior sister was definitely deeper than her gratitude towards Luo Ling'er.

After all, when she was still insignificant, whether in reality or simulation, Ling Shuanghua always stood in front of her, shielding her from the storms and helping her seize opportunities.

"Boom!"

Thunder rumbled incessantly deep within the dark clouds, and lightning tore open white cracks in the sky.

"Senior sister."

Lin Qingyu spoke softly, her tone no longer teasing but serious.

"Ling'er has a Heavenly Spiritual Root and has spent so many years at the peak of Foundation Establishment. Her own accumulation is several times more profound than yours. It is not surprising that she formed her Core before you."

Ling Shuanghua slowly raised her head and looked at the sincere-looking girl in front of her.

"But..."

"There's no 'but' about it."

Lin Qingyu reached out and gently stroked the top of the woman's head, her tone softening slightly:

"The path to immortality values ​​competition—competing for time, for opportunities, and for destiny."

"But the path to immortality is even more valuable in perseverance. Only with a heart that will never give up can one gradually achieve that path to heaven."

"The path to immortality is long and arduous; the Golden Core is merely the beginning."

"Great talents mature late, but it is never too late."
