#160 - Master He Ling was struck by lightning!
“Your cultivation is still shallow. The higher your cultivation, the more you can help me. Cultivate well.”
Seeing that Gu Yuan had taken her words to heart, Qin Hongxiu didn't want to stay any longer. Her figure gradually faded and disappeared within the training room.
The lingering fragrance remained for a long time.
Ding-ling-ling! Ding-ling-ling!
Just then, the bell at the door rang crisply.
The sound carried a sense of peace and was not disturbing. Clearly, someone was outside the training room, asking if Gu Yuan could let them in.
Gu Yuan quickly went forward and opened the door, seeing Real Person He Ling standing there.
“Master, please come in.”
Gu Yuan hurriedly stepped aside to let Real Person He Ling enter, then prepared to pour tea.
“Alright, you don't need to trouble yourself.”
Real Person He Ling waved his hand and explained his purpose: “I came to tell you…”
Before he could finish speaking, his voice paused as he smelled the lingering fragrance in the air.
Then, Real Person He Ling's expression suddenly became somewhat complicated.
He sighed softly and said earnestly:
“Ah Yuan, you are my only disciple, and I have high hopes for you. I only hope that you can inherit my mantle and carry forward our sect. If one day you can forge a high-grade Golden Core, or even cultivate a Yin Spirit or Yang Spirit Dao Fruit, I would be willing to die content.”
“However… although my Daoist magic and swordsmanship do not forbid remaining a virgin, becoming addicted to women will also wear down your spirit. You must know that women are a gentle trap and a hero's grave. Now that your sword Dao is not yet complete, not even close to being considered minor success, indulging in women will only delay your cultivation and erode your fighting spirit.”
“Master, you misunderstand. This disciple is not addicted to women. I was just now because…”
Gu Yuan's face was full of black lines. What was all this about!
“Enough!”
Before Gu Yuan could finish speaking, Real Person He Ling interrupted him, his face serious: “I was once young too, and I understand the thoughts of you young people!”
“If you have a woman you like, I will not stop you, let alone be a wet blanket. But secretly bringing a woman to this training room for wild pleasure is a bit too much!”
“The training room is a place for cultivation and seclusion. How can I allow you to be so presumptuous…”
“Master, please be careful with your words!”
Gu Yuan was sweating profusely and quickly stopped him: “That woman just now was not this disciple's… but a fairy, whom this disciple specially invited to discuss serious matters…”
However, before he could finish speaking, a wisp of verdant lightning appeared out of thin air.
This wisp of lightning was as thin as hair, agile and compliant, and struck Real Person He Ling with lightning speed.
Real Person He Ling's protective sword Qi was activated, forming layers of barriers around his body.
Even if a flying sword magic treasure capable of splitting mountains and overturning seas were to strike, it could withstand it for three to five breaths.
However, this wisp of emerald lightning simply bypassed it, easily piercing through the layers of sword Qi barriers and landing on Real Person He Ling.
Real Person He Ling's face changed, and then his whole body twitched, shaking like an epileptic, with faint white smoke rising from his body, emitting a burnt smell…
His overwhelming magic power, the earth-shattering swordsmanship he relied on to slay demons and eliminate evil, was of no use at all.
Gu Yuan lowered his head, not daring to look too much, for fear of embarrassing Real Person He Ling.
Fairy Peach Blossom had clearly shown mercy, otherwise she would not have only sent such a small wisp of lightning.
Although Real Person He Ling was strong, a celestial being in the eyes of mortals who could fly through the sky and enter the azure sky, he was clearly far inferior to Fairy Peach Blossom.
The gap between the two was much greater than the gap between Real Person He Ling and his disciple Gu Yuan!
One must know that after the Golden Core stage, one is no longer considered human.
One has already transcended the mortal and entered the saintly, possessing some of the qualities of a “celestial,” with a long lifespan and great supernatural powers.
After the Golden Core stage, each step up requires several times the effort and painstaking effort.
In major cultivation sects such as Medicine King Mountain, Gu God Sect, and Star River Sword Sect, and even in some cultivation families, Golden Cores are considered high-level forces, but they are not uncommon.
Above the Golden Core stage, Yin Spirit giants are extremely rare.
Often, thirty to fifty Golden Cores may not produce a single Yin Spirit giant.
Yang Spirit great powers are naturally even rarer, beings who have initially cultivated an undying Nascent Soul and have almost attained longevity.
Such beings are top figures in the entire world.
They cannot be obtained without great fortune, great opportunities, excellent comprehension, and a combination of talent and aptitude.
After all, Fairy Peach Blossom is a great power in the Dragon Gate realm. One step further, she would be a Nascent Soul True Immortal, naturally far from comparable to Real Person He Ling.
Therefore, fortunately, Fairy Peach Blossom was not the kind of person with a cruel and ruthless nature, otherwise Real Person He Ling might not have been able to gain any advantage today.
“Master…”
Seeing Real Person He Ling swaying and unable to stand steadily, Gu Yuan quickly ran over to support him.
Being so close, he inevitably smelled a trace of tempting meaty fragrance. Gu Yuan subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then received a fierce glare from Real Person He Ling.
“Tell me, what exactly happened just now?!”
Real Person He Ling's tone was unkind.
He was not a fool. This lightning, coupled with what Gu Yuan said, immediately made him understand that things were definitely not as simple as he thought.
Gu Yuan explained with a stiff face: “Master, that fairy just now is actually an old friend of this disciple, Fairy Peach Blossom of Rotten Ke Mountain. This disciple invited this fairy to seek a piece of Taiyin Spirit Soul to cultivate supernatural powers, and there is no other reason.”
He briefly explained the matter.
When he mentioned the words “Rotten Ke Mountain” and “Fairy Peach Blossom,” Real Person He Ling's eyelids twitched and his face twitched, and his gaze towards Gu Yuan changed instantly.
“Good boy… you are really capable, actually knowing even this fairy…”
He was also a high-ranking Ninth Elder of Medicine King Mountain, so he had naturally heard of Rotten Ke Mountain and knew the great name of Fairy Peach Blossom.
This was a top-notch rogue cultivator famous in Qin Province and even the entire Southern Border Six Provinces, or rather, a famous female rogue immortal cultivator in the Southern Border.
Her cultivation was so high that even the two incomparably noble Supreme Elders of Medicine King Mountain were only so-so.
He never expected that his precious disciple would actually know this fairy from Rotten Ke Mountain, and their relationship seemed to be quite good.
No wonder he was struck by a divine lightning just now.
With the noble status of this Fairy Peach Blossom, let alone striking him with a divine lightning as a minor punishment, even killing him on the spot would not be excessive.
Receiving a divine lightning strike was already a bargain for him.
Who told him to be a bit reckless just now and offend this fairy.
Even if the two Supreme Elders of Medicine King Mountain were present, they probably wouldn't be able to say anything.
After clarifying the cause of the matter, Real Person He Ling's anger gradually subsided.
To be honest, this matter really couldn't be entirely blamed on Gu Yuan; he could only blame himself for being unlucky.
Of course, Real Person He Ling didn't dare to complain about Fairy Peach Blossom even more.
