Chapter 75: I entered the fake Profound Yang Sect

"Why are you so concerned about Qin Yu?"

"Could he be the one you admire?"

Lin Wu Ren suppressed his anger, having watched Lin Xue grow up little by little over the years, loving her as if she were his own child.

Now, a boy he casually helped has, after entering the inner door, become entangled with his own niece.

Lin Wu Ren now only wants to rush into the inner door and harshly reprimand Qin Yu.

The painfully calm Dao heart of these years instantly became restless and irritable again.

Lin Xue blinked slightly, not quite understanding why her uncle would ask such a question.

Immediately after, she softly replied, "Um... he is the Profound Yang Sect Master I admire."

Lin Wu Ren felt his vision go dark.

It's one thing for his niece to hesitate like that, but she outright said she wants to push him into the position of Sect Master.

This isn't just as simple as stealing the backyard garden; it's practically moving the whole family.

Lin Wu Ren felt utterly stifled.

He needs to quickly find the Sect Master's senior brother and tell him about this.

Otherwise, something big will surely happen in the future.

In the Profound Yang Sect, his niece's status is, in a sense, even higher than that of the elders.

Once she calls out, many true disciples and inner door disciples, with the support of the Sect Master's lineage, could fully make it happen.

"This matter... let's not mention it for now."

"Do you understand his aptitude?"

"Do you know his prospects?"

"Do you know how large the Profound Yang Sect is, how many disciples it has, and whether he can bear this heavy responsibility?"

Lin Wu Ren spoke in an urgent tone, even gesturing with both hands.

I have been lecturing at Green Mountain for three years; could I still be unaware of Qin Yu's condition?

This is merely a moment of clarity after awakening the martial meridians.

Based solely on this, how far could his future path go?

After hearing this, Lin Xue's beautiful eyes sparkled with starlight: "I know all of this; with my assistance, he will certainly be able to bear it."

Lin Wu Ren looked bewildered: "???"

Isn't this basically marrying into the family?

With your strength and background, do you still need to personally assist him?

He felt like he was about to cry.

Even his years of tempered mundane Dao heart felt like it might collapse.

His qi and blood surged to his head in an instant, making him feel faint.

Immediately, he stopped talking, clasped his hands behind his back, walked to the side, and sulked alone.

He planned to see Qin Yu before entering seclusion.

Lin Xue saw this, blinking her starry-sea-like eyes, seeing that her uncle was reassured, she said no more.

The flying vessel sailed toward Profound Yang Peak.

At this moment, Qin Yu was cultivating in the courtyard, feeling the effects of the high-grade spirit-gathering formation.

Countless streams of spiritual energy coalesced into a vortex, continually flowing into his body.

After a day of rest, Qin Yu felt his essence, energy, and spirit nearly reach their peak, extremely full.

Because he had broken through two minor realms in succession, his cultivation felt somewhat insubstantial, so Qin Yu chose to consolidate and digest it, temporarily ceasing sword practice and laying down his Green Thorn Sword.

Time is too tight; there's no chance.

He can only use it as a big cleaver for now.

Qin Yu also studied the Shennong Cauldron, finding nothing particularly special; as for the artifact spirit inside, aside from appearing once at the beginning, it has since vanished without a trace, and Qin Yu doesn't even know how to use the Shennong Cauldron.

"Now the Profound Yang Sect poses little danger to me; I can go to the Leize Secret Realm to obtain that treasure."

Within the sect, there are no other perilous places; only Leize.

Perhaps we can continue pushing forward; what if we break another record?

Then wouldn't we be able to obtain another lightning-path treasure?

Qin Yu's eyes gleamed with sharp light.

Last time, he broke through four stages in a row in the Body Tempering Realm; to reach this level, he at least needed to break through the outskirts of Leize.

Having thought this, Qin Yu rose, tidied his clothes, and left the courtyard.

"Creak..."

He pushed open the gate and saw a man in plain clothes and a girl in an ice-silk long skirt walking toward him.

The man's face was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall where from.

Qin Yu immediately greeted: "Lin Xue."

The plain-clothed man beside her stepped forward, turning into a blur, appearing before Qin Yu, eyeing him solemnly, a flicker of shock deep in his gaze.

"Foundation Establishment Third Layer... how did you achieve this? When you advanced from Green Mountain to the outer door, you were only at Body Tempering Third Layer."

"The outer door competition was only two days ago; altogether it's been just five or six days, and you've already risen an entire realm?"

Lin Wu Ren is somewhat bewildered at this moment.

What kind of martial meridian awakening could achieve this? It's practically heaven-defying!

Moreover, Qin Yu's qi and blood are immensely heavy, like layer upon layer of terrifying waves; this... shouldn't be the qi and blood power only a Spiritual Transformation Realm cultivator possesses?

Qin Yu saw the visitor, also slightly paused, instantly realized—this wasn't the elder who helped him resolve his troubles?

At the time the life-and-death arena ended, that snaggle-toothed youth threatened him, saying his father would later take revenge.

As a result, that white-clad man directly sent the Xuan Yang Guard to exterminate three generations of his family, overwhelmingly dominant.

Qin Yu slightly bowed with clasped hands: "Greetings, Elder, thank you for that day."

"Recently I've had some insights, so my progress has been relatively fast."

Although my progress is fast, exterminating three generations is not necessary.

According to normal cultivation, advancing from Body Tempering third level to Body Tempering ninth level takes several years, even a lifetime.

There will always be a time to leave the Green Mountains; a slight carelessness, an ambush by the Rock City Lord, would lead to downfall—this is also for his own consideration.

Lin Wu Ren's mouth twitched slightly—this counts as having insights?

Even with the innate Dao body of an ancient great sect or holy land's lineage, going from Body Tempering third level to Foundation Establishment third level still takes several months or even a year.

Do you think cultivation is as simple as eating and sleeping?

"Hmm… progress is indeed fast, but some matters remain undecided; you at least need to become a true-transmission disciple, and only then could you possibly become a core elder of the Xuan Yang Sect."

"Moreover, Foundation Establishment third level strength is too weak; you need to quickly improve, to temper yourself—understand?"

At this moment, Lin Wu Ren acknowledged Qin Yu's talent, but still needed to test him; otherwise, wouldn't that be letting him off too easily?

Qin Yu blinked slightly: "What possibilities?"

Lin Wu Ren's anger flared up again.

How can he still pretend ignorance while understanding everything?

"I am Lin Xue's clansman uncle."

Qin Yu nodded: "Hmm, Elder, please continue."

Lin Wu Ren looked utterly bewildered: "???"

Shouldn't he be serving tea and water, then respectfully inviting him inside?

Holy shit! How did you even bring it up?

No way! I absolutely cannot let Xue'er become a dao companion with this kind of man!

At that moment, Lin Xue had already arrived at the courtyard gate, extending her slender jade hand: "Greetings, Junior Uncle."

Lin Xue would not lack any proper etiquette, fully displaying the bearing of a noble family, even though the boy before her was younger than her.

Because Qin Yu felt adding a "zu" character after it sounded unpleasant, he let Lin Xue stop calling him "Shizu Zu" and just call him "Junior Uncle" instead.

Anyway, I am the Junior Uncle of the entire Xuan Yang Sect; there's no difference.

Lin Wu Ren again looked utterly bewildered: "???"

Junior Uncle?

Lin Xue calls him Junior Uncle? Of the same generation as me?

What the hell is this again?

He felt his brain about to smoke, unable to wrap his head around it.

Just then, a familiar disheveled figure transformed into a stream of light from the horizon and landed in the courtyard.

"Junior Uncle, I know you're heading to Leize; I have temporarily sealed the secret realm so other disciples won't learn of your situation," Qi Tai hastily said.

After all, in just one day, the Xuan Yang Sect had captured a spy, even exposing themselves to investigate the previous transcending tribulation individual.

After Lin Wu Ren got a clear look at the visitor, he was utterly dumbfounded, his brain crashing.

Why… does Junior Brother Qi Tai also call him Junior Uncle?

In just a few short days, what on earth happened?

Did I actually enter a fake Xuan Yang Sect?
