Chapter 678

Hearing him say this, Ye Qinghuan only sighed lightly and said nothing more!

Lin Zhangqing continued: "However, just now, this disciple heard from your meaning, Uncle-Master!

It seems you were saying that Junior Uncle Ran Ming once had a relative who fell into the hands of the Black Soul Sect and met with a tragic end?"

After hearing this, Ye Qinghuan did not answer him directly, only giving a faint "Hmm."

But after a short while, he explained: "That Old Drunkard was not always the ghost of a man he is now; he used to be dashing and elegant!

But because his Dao companion possessed Yin Spirit Roots, she unfortunately fell into the hands of the Black Soul Sect scum while out on a mission.

In the end, she was alive and screaming when they extracted her soul and refined it into a main soul for the Ten Thousand Souls Banner! Because of that, he went completely insane, breaking directly into the Black Soul Sect's territory and attacking everywhere. He didn't care about cultivation levels; as long as they were from the Black Soul Sect, he killed them on sight.

Just like that, he killed who knows how many Black Soul Sect disciples, eventually drawing out a Nascent Soul True Person from the Black Soul Sect to take action.

At the time, if it hadn't been for a Nascent Soul Old Ancestor of our sect waiting nearby to save him, he would have perished long ago! However, because of this, he was punished by an Old Ancestor of the sect to serve as an Affairs Hall Elder for one hundred years.

And it was stipulated that if he did not serve the full one hundred years as an Affairs Hall Elder, he would not be allowed to leave Spirit Spring Island.

In the end, he had no choice but to drown his sorrows in alcohol every day, until he became the ghost of a man he is now!

So, now that you know this matter, just keep it to yourselves; don't let him see that you know!"

Now Lin Zhangqing understood a little why the Old Drunkard was so concerned about Li Xiangting's affairs! It turned out he had transferred the guilt he felt for his Dao companion onto Li Xiangting, which was why he always wanted to protect her.

But looking at it this way, the Old Drunkard was truly miserable!

If it were him, he would spend his whole life going against the Black Soul Sect; he certainly wouldn't stop until he had killed every last one of those scums! And Li Xiangting, upon hearing the fate of the Old Drunkard's Dao companion, was even more heartbroken and tearful.

Moreover, at this moment, she vaguely understood in her heart why the Old Drunkard was so good to her!

But this did not hinder her heartfelt respect for the Old Drunkard!

Now, having heard Ye Qinghuan's instructions, Lin Zhangqing and Li Xiangting both agreed earnestly.

They both understood that such things were better kept to themselves; a powerhouse like the Old Drunkard did not need others to pity him.

After so much time had passed, the disciple who went to the top floor to exchange for the cultivation method finally returned! At this moment, Ye Qinghuan stood before Lin Zhangqing and the other with a white jade slip in his hand.

He said seriously to Li Xiangting: "According to the sect's regulations, you must swear not to pass this cultivation method on to others before I can transmit it to you!"

Li Xiangting heard this and hurriedly swore a very serious Dao oath, guaranteeing that she would not pass this method to anyone, otherwise she would surely face military dissolution!

Hearing her swear the Dao oath, Ye Qinghuan nodded and then tapped the jade slip.

The white jade slip instantly turned into white ash, and then a ball of light flew into Li Xiangting's sea of consciousness.

She felt mentally dazed for a moment, then immediately closed her eyes to comprehend the cultivation information that had entered her sea of consciousness.

After a long while, she finally opened her eyes and regained her clarity.

She then bowed to Ye Qinghuan and thanked him: "This disciple thanks you, Grandmaster Ye, for your assistance!" Ye Qinghuan nodded and said: "I added a slight seal to it to prevent the information from being too much all at once and bursting your sea of consciousness!

Once you cultivate to a certain level, the cultivation method within your sea of consciousness will naturally appear; you don't need to worry!

However, this method can only be cultivated up to the Golden Core late stage great perfection; you must be careful yourselves! Or you can keep an eye out in the future; if you find such Yin-attribute cultivation methods and turn them over to the sect, you can also exchange them for many sect contribution points."

Hearing him say this, Lin Zhangqing and Li Xiangting both agreed, and then the two of them took their leave! By the time the sky had completely darkened, they had successfully returned to Cuiyun Valley.

Seeing the two of them return, Murong Qingyan and Li Qinchuan were relieved.

Li Xiangting happily told them that the cultivation method had been successfully exchanged and was now in her sea of consciousness.

Ignoring the two mother and daughter who were whispering, Lin Zhangqing took Li Qinchuan into the courtyard, asked about the day's harvest, and then divided the deserved reward with him.

Only then did he instruct: "In the future, pay more attention to the news circulating in the market at the Trading Square.

If you feel there is any relatively important news, come and tell me!"

Li Qinchuan heard this and said triumphantly: "Brother-in-law, don't worry! I know quite a few people at the Trading Square now! If there is any movement in the future, I will definitely know about it the first time, and I will come to tell you immediately!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said: "That's good, but you must not slack off on your own cultivation, you know? Otherwise, in the future, you will only be left further and further behind by your sister!"

Li Qinchuan heard this and nodded earnestly; clearly, he had taken Lin Zhangqing's words to heart.

After dismissing Li Qinchuan, Lin Zhangqing began to cultivate the Thunder True Scripture.

In fact, after hearing about the Old Drunkard's affairs at Uncle-Master Ye's place today, he felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart.

So he had already decided to use the Thunder Extreme Fruit to expand his thunder apertures.

He would arrange this for the period when Li Xiangting began to switch to cultivating the Yin-attribute method.

As for his other fundamental method, the Five Elements Chaos Sutra, he planned to use a fourth-grade Wood Tooth Crystal to test its effect and see if it would have any unexpected benefits.

After Li Xiangting returned, and the two had spent some intimate time together in the room,

she said to Lin Zhangqing: "Qing Ge, after I understand and thoroughly grasp the new cultivation method in these few days, I plan to enter closed-door cultivation to switch methods!"

Lin Zhangqing heard this and said with a smile: "That's very good. I have also switched fundamental methods once before, so I have some experience.

But in my opinion, no matter what you do, the most important thing is the foundation and the base.

So you can take advantage of this switch to spend more time making your foundation even more solid.

Also, during this recent period, if you have any questions about the cultivation method, you can bring them up and we can discuss them together.

Although I am not cultivating a Yin-attribute method, some principles are interconnected and can be used for mutual reference."
