Chapter 126: I Deliberately Tricked You, Will You Dare Next Time!
Feng Jinsui raised her arm and said to Ming Zhaoshuang, annoyed:
“Forget it, I don’t want to argue with you. I’m leaving. Anyway, your physique is very strange. Honored Master might have spared you because it’s related to dual cultivation with you.”
Compared to Ming Zhaoshuang, she was more interested in Cheng Zhaoyang.
She put her hands on her hips and said to Cheng Zhaoyang: “I have now cultivated to Deity Transformation. Honored Master wants me to return to Modu quickly, and I probably won’t see you again. But don’t slack off in your cultivation, I will return!”
Cheng Zhaoyang nodded and said: “I won’t.”
Feng Jinsui immediately lifted her fiery red skirt hem and rushed into the dim sky of Demon Quelling Pass.
“Cheng Zhaoyang, don’t forget me!”
The surroundings were quiet, a light snow drifted down, and Feng Jinsui’s voice echoed in the heavens and earth like a clear golden bell.
Cheng Zhaoyang looked up at the sky for a long time, then turned her head and said to Ming Zhaoshuang: “I came to see you because there’s something I wanted to ask you…”
“Junior Sister! Junior Brother Qin is awake and is making a fuss, wanting to see you!”
Suddenly, Fei Changxiu shouted loudly at Ming Zhaoshuang.
“Sister Zhaoyang, I’ll talk later if there’s something. I’m a bit tied up right now!”
Remembering how she had tricked Qin Feilong before, Ming Zhaoshuang’s heart turned cold, and she tried to run.
Seeing her like this, Fei Changxiu burst into laughter: “Junior Sister, just be honest. Junior Brother Qin said that even if he had to crawl, he would crawl in front of you.”
“He’s severely injured, you wouldn’t bear to let him do that, would you?”
Ming Zhaoshuang rubbed her forehead and said: “The thunder didn’t kill him, why is he holding such a grudge?”
Although Ming Zhaoshuang tricked Qin Feilong, it was because she knew clearly that Qin Feilong was the son of the Heavenly Dao, and that old man Heavenly Dao would at most make Qin Feilong lie down for ten days to half a month. It was absolutely impossible to strike him to death, and she didn’t intend to harm Qin Feilong.
Fei Changxiu chuckled and was about to speak when he saw his junior sister cast a fierce glare at him: “Still laughing? Next time I’ll sacrifice you to heaven, and see if you can still laugh.”
Fei Changxiu brought his fingers together to seal his mouth and obediently shut it: “Who said I was laughing? The next victim must be Junior Brother Qin, okay?”
Ming Zhaoshuang said this, but she still went to see Qin Feilong obediently.
Qin Feilong said resentfully: “Junior Sister Zhaoshuang, it’s one thing that you tricked me so badly, but to treat me with such an attitude, you are making your Senior Brother sad.”
That was the power of thunder that even Feng Jinsui, a Deity Transformation cultivator, couldn’t withstand, yet Ming Zhaoshuang made him, a Minor Golden Core cultivator, endure it.
The result was that according to others, Ming Zhaoshuang hadn’t even visited his room in the past half month.
Qin Feilong was truly sad.
Ming Zhaoshuang turned her head: “Then be sad.”
Hearing this, Fei Changxiu burst into laughter: “Junior Brother Qin, don’t be sad, you just took a nap.”
Qin Feilong: “……”
He suddenly coughed several times, drawing continuous glances from those in the room, and Ming Zhaoshuang’s tone softened.
“Senior Brother Qin, I’m sorry. I intentionally tricked you, and I’ll do it again next time.”
Qin Feilong took a long time to stop coughing, and when he heard that, he actually laughed. He said: “Shouldn’t I thank you?”
Ming Zhaoshuang pouted: “It’s not impossible.”
Qin Feilong shook his head, then said solemnly: “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I wanted to say that thanks to your talismans, Junior Sister Ming, after those twenty-eight bolts of lightning, I have finally broken through to Late Golden Core.”
Huh? No, so quickly?
How long has it been since Qin Feilong formed his Golden Core, and in less than three months he reached Late Golden Core?
Ming Zhaoshuang gritted her teeth, jealous tears flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Why doesn’t she have such good luck!
Seeing everyone’s astonished gazes, Qin Feilong explained: “Actually, this is also thanks to that Lotus Seed Heart. After I refined it, I felt like I had reached the bottleneck of Golden Core Mid-stage. Coincidentally, Junior Sister Zhaoshuang tricked me… pushed me. In that lightning strike, I just happened to break through.”
Hearing this, Ming Chenxing also said: “After refining the Lotus Seed Heart, although I didn’t encounter the bottleneck of Early Nascent Soul, I felt that my cultivation could already reach half of the early stage.”
Fei Changxiu scratched his head: “Me too.”
As a supreme treasure of the cultivation world, the Lotus Seed Heart indeed has miraculous effects. Below Deity Transformation, it guarantees breaking through one realm, and the excess energy will be reserved for the next breakthrough.
Speaking of which, Ming Zhaoshuang chose the Lotus Platform Petal at that time, but she never saw her use it.
Ming Zhaoshuang sighed: “So that’s how it is. I was originally thinking of going myself to get struck by lightning to see if I could break through.”
Fei Changxiu said: “Junior Sister, have you been cultivating too hastily lately? Not eating or sleeping, you’re prone to Qi Deviation if you continue like this.”
Ming Chenxing also said: “Cultivating the Dao steadily is paramount.”
Ming Zhaoshuang, however, shook her head and smiled: “Senior Brother Xiu’er, isn’t not eating and sleeping the norm for cultivators? Look at Sister Zhaoyang, didn’t she go through it like this too?”
Ming Zhaoshuang originally thought they were already working hard enough, but after seeing Cheng Zhaoyang, she understood what true competition was. She truly didn’t eat or sleep, and spent her days either handling military affairs or practicing swordsmanship.
No wonder she has an Innate Sword Bone.
Qin Feilong sighed: “In such a spiritually barren place, for General Cheng to cultivate to Nascent Soul before the age of twenty is a once-in-a-thousand-years occurrence.”
The spiritual energy in the Third Heaven was even thinner than in their First Heaven. It didn’t seem like much on the surface, but it actually had a significant impact on cultivators’ cultivation.
For Cheng Zhaoyang to reach such a state amidst a pile of miscellaneous matters was indeed not wrong of Qin Feilong to say.
Hearing this, Cheng Zhaoyang smiled: “You’re mistaken. A hundred years ago, someone in our Cheng Family could cultivate to Nascent Soul at the age of twenty.”
She suddenly remembered something and asked the youngsters: “What I wanted to tell Sister Zhaoshuang earlier, now that I see you are all here, I’ll say it all at once.”
“The year-end is approaching, and in Changjing, a competition and chase event for young disciples will be held. Youths under fifty years old can register. Coincidentally, the Demon Army’s incursions have decreased today, and I need to return to Changjing. I wanted to ask if you would like to participate.”
“I can ask the Cheng Family to reserve a few spots for you. If you win any prizes, you can keep them for yourselves.”
The prizes for celebrating the New Year throughout the Third Heaven were naturally generous.
Ming Zhaoshuang and the others had almost lost their lives while helping them repel the Demon Army, so this was Cheng Zhaoyang’s small gesture of goodwill, both for training and as an opportunity.
Qin Feilong said: “If I remember correctly, the Teleportation Array of Qingyun Tower is in Changjing.”
Fei Changxiu immediately said: “Consider it done, General Cheng.”
Ming Zhaoshuang smiled: “I also want to see what the young talents of the Third Heaven look like.”
In the First Heaven, they were already the most exceptional of geniuses. Naturally, they wanted to compete with their peers from other realms to see who was the Number One Person among these Heavenly Prodigies!
