I, a centenarian, sweep through the gates of immortality.

The old man looked at Liu Qingqing with eyes full of terror and struggle, his expression distorted, as if he had seen a ghost.

Even if he himself is detached from his physical body, a ghost-like existence.

"You! This is impossible!"

The old man's voice became extremely high-pitched and filled with disbelief.

In his view, those who survive in this ghostly realm are all old things whose lifespans have come to an end, clinging to life by relying on the spiritual energy of the Yellow Springs.

But what about Liu Qingqing? She actually broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in this godforsaken place.

This completely shattered his understanding.

After Liu Qingqing had completely subdued the old man, her expression gradually became playful.

She said softly.

"Fate is indeed unpredictable."

"If you hadn't captured me, I wouldn't have found the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Speaking of which, I should thank you."

Upon hearing these words, the old man's expression changed abruptly. The fear on his face vanished, replaced by a fawning smile.

He was well aware of his own weakness, while Liu Qingqing had just entered the Nascent Soul stage, her strength greatly increased. If they were to fight head-on, he would almost certainly die. Therefore, when he heard that Liu Qingqing wanted to thank him, he grasped at a straw and hurriedly said...

"No need to thank me, it was just a small favor for me."

"Fairy, I congratulate you on breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. If there is nothing else, please allow me to leave. I may even prepare a congratulatory gift for you."

A flash of murderous intent crossed Liu Qingqing's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and her expression became extremely calm.

She neither chose to refuse nor accept, but instead asked a question casually.

"What about Yan Shiyuan and those children?"

Lin Feng and Liu Qingqing are now absolutely safe, but the fate of Yan Shiyuan and the others remains unknown.

It would be easy for Liu Qingqing to kill the old man in front of her, but she also had to ensure the safety of her disciple.

When Liu Qingqing asked about Yan Shiyuan, the old man dared not hide anything and quickly told her everything.

"Those children are all safe and sound now, in a small mountain dwelling east of the Yellow Springs. I can take you there now."

After saying that, the old man quickly made a gesture of invitation, trying to lead Liu Qingqing to pick up the person.

Liu Qingqing turned to look at Lin Feng and saw that with the help of the little Pixiu, Lin Feng had recovered to his full strength. She nodded and agreed.

"Lin Feng, come with me to pick up Yan Shiyuan."

Although Lin Feng was worried that the old man might cause some trouble, the children were still there, and he couldn't just ignore them, could he? So he had no choice but to agree.

"Let him lead the way."

The old man hurried ahead, afraid that Liu Qingqing would become suspicious.

The three of them traveled swiftly and soon arrived near the Yellow Springs, at the small courtyard where the old man lived.

The surrounding air was bitterly cold, and the old man had no physical body, resembling a ghost. Yet, the small courtyard where he lived was quite charming.

It's clear that this old man was a respectable person in his lifetime.

"Those children are all trapped inside and are perfectly safe. You can rest assured that I did not harm them."

This old guy originally planned to seize Yan Shiyuan's evil veins, but before he could make a move, he was killed by Liu Qingqing. Now he's using it to curry favor.

Liu Qingqing completely ignored him and led Lin Feng straight into the courtyard.

The formation set up by this old guy was quickly shattered in the face of Liu Qingqing's absolute strength.

Yan Shiyuan sensed something was wrong and, thinking there was danger, quickly shielded the other children behind him while keeping a watchful eye on the doorway.

"Snap!"

The door opened, and a dark aura blew in. Yan Shiyuan struggled to open his eyes and was surprised to find that it was not the ghostly old man who had entered, but his master, Liu Qingqing.

"you?"

This sudden surprise caught Yan Shiyuan off guard, and his instinctive vigilance even made him think that what was in front of him was an illusion, a trap set by that old guy.

"You! You still want to impersonate my master? Do you think I'll fall for your trick?!"

Liu Qingqing sighed, knowing that Yan Shiyuan was overreacting due to extreme shock. Left with no other option, she quickly called Lin Feng over as well.

"Shiyuan, I am your master."

Upon seeing Lin Feng, Yan Shiyuan paused for a moment before realizing what was happening.

"Master!"

Yan Shiyuan rushed over quickly, and Lin Feng smiled and hugged him, comforting him.

"We're safe now."

Yan Shiyuan nodded repeatedly, then looked at Liu Qingqing. He was even more surprised to find that Liu Qingqing had actually broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Master! I thought I was going to die, but I never expected you to come and save me. What's even more unbelievable is that you actually broke through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"In all these years, the Heavenly Evolution Sect has produced the first person to break through to the Nascent Soul stage before the age of one hundred!"

Liu Qingqing nodded with satisfaction and then called all the children over.

"Alright, now's not the time to flatter me. This place isn't safe; I'll take you away first."

The children naturally had no objections, and Liu Qingqing protected them as she prepared to leave.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Feng and Liu Qingqing about to leave.

However, before he could be happy for long, Liu Qingqing suddenly turned around and stared at him with murderous intent in her eyes.

The old man kept saying this.

"Fairy Liu, I did not harm you. You have seen for yourself, these children are safe."

Liu Qingqing sneered and retorted without any politeness.

"If I hadn't been lucky enough to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I would probably be a corpse by now."

"If I fail to break through and beg for mercy, will you let me go?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and hesitated for a long time before not daring to answer.

Liu Qingqing stopped wasting words with him and attacked directly, instantly raising her Nascent Soul stage cultivation to its limit, and a terrifying pressure descended.

"what!"

Although this old fellow was also at the Nascent Soul stage, he had no physical body, only divine consciousness. His strength was far less than before, and he had no chance to fight back against Liu Qingqing at her peak.

In no time at all, his consciousness was completely obliterated by Liu Qingqing, leaving him utterly destroyed, body and soul.

Having confirmed that the old man was dead, Liu Qingqing snorted coldly and casually waved her hand, completely destroying even the small courtyard where the old man had lived, leaving no trace. Then she pulled Lin Feng and Liu Qingqing away.

After the group left the ghostly realm, Yun Shu, who had been waiting outside, quickly came to greet them.

"You! You're all out safely!"

Yun Shu was also quite surprised. She had been waiting outside all day and knew almost nothing about what was happening inside. Her anxiety was palpable.

Seeing Lin Feng emerge safely, she was naturally delighted. But before she could even celebrate, she noticed the change in Liu Qingqing's cultivation level.

"You? You've reached the Nascent Soul stage?"
