The catalyst for his rise to fame was actually his connection with a wealthy woman—a female cultivator at the Jindan stage. This woman seemed to be the mistress of a certain sect elder.
Because Ye Lingxiao was good-looking, he became the rich woman's gigolo and obtained a lot of resources from her.
Later, the rich woman died in a fight with her enemies, and he inherited her estate.
However, he is quite averse to others mentioning his dark history.
An abandoned son of a wealthy family, burdened with a deep blood feud, and also inheriting a powerful legacy, if you only look at these, there's actually a bit of the protagonist template in it.
However, he happens to appear in a novel with a female protagonist, so he can only serve as a foil to highlight the protagonist Feng Aotian.
The original novel also gave him several stains.
For example, he did something ungrateful when a family kindly saved him during his wandering period.
The family was a wealthy one in a certain town and they had a daughter.
The rich lady was very pretty and treated her servants very well.
In order to make a living, Ye Lingxiao worked as a servant in this rich family for a period of time.
He fell in love with the young lady of this family, but she was already engaged.
Later, he awakened his physique, gained good qualifications for cultivation, and unexpectedly obtained a powerful inheritance.
After successfully cultivating his Qi, he took advantage of his status as a cultivator and took the young lady by force.
The woman couldn't bear the humiliation and chose to commit suicide.
He was afraid of revenge from the family, so he killed all of them.
Perhaps it was because he was born into a wealthy family, but ended up serving as a servant in a mortal family, which caused him to feel a huge psychological gap. Perhaps it was because he had been wronged and bullied for a long time in the rich man's house, and once he gained cultivation, he went to extremes.
This is a person with a very twisted mind and a very narrow mind. Not only is he vengeful, he is also an egoist.
In addition, he particularly likes to ambush people, especially sneak attacks.
Most of the time when dealing with enemies, they prefer to take advantage of their unpreparedness and attack them. This behavior is shameful.
……
Not long after, the two of them found Wang Xiaoyue.
But Wang Xiaoyue seemed to be entangled by a giant rock centipede.
Wang Xiaoyue is currently at the seventh level of Nascent Soul cultivation, but is still one or two small realms lower than the centipede.
The centipede's body is made of hard spiritual stone and has very high defense.
Wang Xiaoyue tried every trick she could to no avail, only leaving a few shallow scratches on its shell. Worst of all, these scars slowly healed during their fight.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Kangping immediately made a hand gesture and cast a spell, pointing his finger down with a wild thunder.
The rock centipede opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Wang Xiaoyue.
However, halfway through the charge, its head suddenly exploded.
Its huge body was like a train that had run off the track. After losing its head, it tilted to one side, but continued to move forward for a distance before finally stopping.
Its remains were still struggling and twisting, looking disgusting.
Luo Xueqing flew down, slashing out several sword lights, cutting the huge body of the rock centipede into several sections.
Then the thing couldn't move anymore.
"This thing doesn't seem to be a monster, nor a living creature. It seems to have no soul." Luo Xueqing discovered that there was something wrong with this giant rock centipede.
In reality, this centipede, like those stone men, could be considered an elemental creature. According to this world's sayings, all things have spirits, and these creatures, over time, become spirits, a kind of spirit, completely different from demons.
Luo Xueqing also wanted to look for any valuable materials in the remains of this monster.
But Zhao Kangping stopped him: "The things on these monsters are not big, we might as well hurry up and move on."
"To that volcano."
Hearing this, Wang Xiaoyue was secretly surprised. He had indeed read the book she wrote.
They flew together towards the volcano that Zhao Kangping pointed out. It was not the one that was spewing ash, but a smaller one.
On the way, they happened to see a group of people fighting. It seemed that a young man was being surrounded and killed by a group of people.
"That looks like Ye Lingxiao." Luo Xueqing recognized him and continued, "Should we go down and take care of him?"
"Care? Who are you going to help? Do you know what happened?" Zhao Kangping asked back.
Chapter 487: Sword Furnace Spirit
Zhao Kangping knew that Ye Lingxiao was not a person who would stay content with what he had. It was possible that he had met his former enemy, or that he had just offended someone in the secret realm.
But no matter what the situation is, it is this kid's own business.
"Let's go." Zhao Kangping said to his eldest disciple.
Luo Xueqing looked over there again.
Wang Xiaoyue asked, "You don't want to help Ye Lingxiao, do you?"
Coincidentally, she had some conflicts with Ye Lingxiao in her previous life. Although Ye Lingxiao's death was not directly caused by him, she was more or less involved in it.
This guy is a casual cultivator, but it is extremely difficult for a casual cultivator to do well in any era.
Either they take on some low-level tasks outsourced by the sect and run errands, or they learn a skill and work for forces like Baibao Pavilion, or they rely on some family forces.
But Ye Lingxiao took a shortcut. He was a professional gigolo, and he flirted with many wealthy women. It was said that he even caused a lot of jealousy among them for his favor. When the husband of one of the wealthy women found out, he almost broke his leg. Fortunately, he ran away quickly.
"Uh, I just want to see the fun." Luo Xueqing scratched his head.
In fact, she had heard a little about Ye Lingxiao and felt quite disgusted with him.
His aptitude for cultivation is not bad, and he will be given focused training in any sect.
Unfortunately, for some unknown reason, he didn't join any sect, preferring to be a casual cultivator. Furthermore, his conduct wasn't very good, with some not-so-glorious deeds in his past.
However, he was able to get up and even made a name for himself.
"Then don't worry about him, let's go first." Zhao Kangping was not very interested in the battle below.
So they continued to fly towards the volcano.
But they still encountered some minor incidents along the way.
A group of miners from the Long family were trapped in an open-pit mine.
Most of these miners are in the Qi training stage, and only a few foremen are in the foundation building stage.
The mine was surrounded by a group of stone men, but fortunately the miners had built fortifications around it with rocks and soil in advance.
The stone men were not smart and had no desire to attack the rock walls.
So those who hid behind the stone wall were temporarily safe.
But they couldn't get out.
After seeing this, Luo Xueqing's Madonna syndrome came back.
"Master, should we go and rescue these people?"
"No need, look over there, a group of monks are coming."
Zhao Kangping pointed to the south side of the mine, where a group of monks had already engaged the stone men. Many stone men were attracted there, and the groups of stone men moved, raising dust and shaking the ground like an earthquake.
Wang Xiaoyue saw a man among the monks fighting with the stone men.
"That person seems to be An Ruosu."
"She's here too."
"I remember she mainly hangs out in the Northern Territory."
In the direction Wang Xiaoyue was looking, a fairy in a glass dress took the lead and charged into the group of stone men with a sword.
Just like cutting melons and vegetables, he crushed the stone man in the front into pieces.
"She seems to have a special physique called Linglong Sword Heart." Zhao Kangping said.
This physique not only allows a cultivator to possess a strong heart of Dao, but also makes them immune to control effects such as charm, fear, and illusions. Most importantly, all sword moves of a cultivator with this physique are more likely to hit vital points.
The above are easy to understand, but the idea of hitting vital points easily sounds quite mysterious. In fact, according to some games, it can be understood as increasing the critical hit rate.
They didn't waste any time elsewhere and flew straight towards the volcano.
After about a quarter of an hour, they reached the slope of the volcano.
Luo Xueqing was confused, she didn't know why she came here. Because there were no stone men here.
"It should be nearby." Zhao Kangping seemed to be looking for something.
Wang Xiaoyue also joined the search.
However, Luo Xueqing was even more confused.
Isn't this your first time here? Why do you act like you're familiar with this place?
Wang Xiaoyue had been here before, but the last time she came she was still called Nangong Yue.
"What are you looking for?" Luo Xueqing finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked.
"There is a cave entrance, which should be buried by volcanic ash. We need to use spiritual sense to explore it. We can act separately." Wang Xiaoyue said.
"No... why do you know there is a cave nearby?" Luo Xueqing didn't understand. This should be their first time here, so why did they act like they knew the answer?
Wang Xiaoyue: "I don't know how to explain this to you. Anyway, you should not care about this kind of details."
After a while, Zhao Kangping found the cave entrance first. It was indeed next to a large piece of obsidian.
He used his spiritual power to dig away the volcanic ash and rocks blocking the cave entrance, and a deep passage indeed appeared inside.
However, he did not go in directly, but let his spiritual sense probe into it.
After a moment, his brows furrowed, "Not in there."
Wang Xiaoyue also used her spiritual sense to investigate and also frowned.
Luo Xueqing was full of questions. She felt that these two people had an inexplicable tacit understanding.
How could this be possible? It would make her look like an outsider.
"Can you tell me what you are looking for?" Luo Xueqing felt that the two of them had conspired to hide something from her, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Kangping thought for a moment and then said, "It's the spirit of the Qiankun Sword Furnace."
In the original book, the spirit of the weapon hid here at the beginning.
After someone found her later, she ran away.
Then she was met by Ye Lingxiao.
Ye Lingxiao learned her true identity from her, and then wanted to kidnap the spirit of the weapon.
However, for this Sword Awakening Conference, the Long family actually arranged for their young disciples to enter the sword furnace.
So his actions were quickly discovered by the people of the Long family.
This led to a fierce battle, and Ye Lingxiao was eventually outnumbered and ran away.
But he was unwilling to lose the opportunity to obtain the weapon spirit, so he told some monks about the weapon spirit and tried to get a group of people to compete with the Long family for the weapon spirit.
Then the two sides started fighting.
After several twists and turns, the weapon spirit escaped and was finally caught by Long Xingyu, the grandson of Long Batian.
Even if the weapon spirit fell into the hands of the Long family, it was still very dissatisfied.
They summoned the monks in the sword furnace and asked everyone to use sword energy to suppress the disobedient weapon spirit.
And he promised that everyone would be rewarded handsomely after the task was accomplished.
But Ye Lingxiao was the first to jump out and stir up trouble, claiming that the Long family was deceiving everyone and that they were just using everyone. After the incident, he was afraid that the Long family would turn against him.
Then these cultivators split into two factions, one supporting the Long family, and the other following Ye Lingxiao to seize the spirit of the weapon.
In the end, no one got the spirit of the weapon.
The spirit of the weapon was accidentally injured and died in the fight among many monks.
However, this is not a loss for the Long family, but rather a benefit.
