Chapter 82: Meeting the Hall Master on a Moonlit Night: If you aren't honest, I don't mind treating you like Leng Xiao

"Ye Ling, tell me, did I succeed in protecting you this time?" Chen Ying'er looked silently at Ye Ling before her, holding up the Magic Crystal in her hand like a treasure, her smile as bright as a flower.

The sunlight from the window spilled onto her face, as if draping her in a layer of golden gauze; dreamlike and floral, it added a unique, ethereal quality to Chen Ying'er. Just by looking at her, Ye Ling even had the thought of taking her into his arms to cherish her well.

Especially this current action of hers struck the deepest softness in Ye Ling's heart; his left hand caught the Magic Crystal and handed it to Long Xingyu.

His right hand touched Chen Ying'er's bun, rubbed it, and said, "Yes, Ying'er succeeded in protecting me this time."

"And, it was a life-saving grace."

Hearing this, Chen Ying'er beamed with joy, her small body embracing Ye Ling; a fragrant scent surrounded him, drifting into Ye Ling's nasal cavity. There was no evil intent, only joy from the bottom of her heart.

She said, "You go cultivate first, I will wait for you outside."

Having said that, Chen Ying'er skipped away, obediently leaving the room.

Only Long Xingyu and Ye Ling were left here.

Looking at the Magic Crystal in his hand, a hint of strangeness appeared in Ye Ling's eyes.

But turning around, he saw Long Xingyu with a constipated expression, staring fixedly at him.

"Teacher Xingyu, what is wrong with you?" Ye Ling asked curiously.

Long Xingyu pondered for a moment and said speechlessly, "I am nearly sixty this year. I originally thought that being old enough, I could avoid the sense of strangeness from seeing such things."

"But now I even feel a sense of sourness."

By this, he naturally meant his own ten years of separation from Bai Yue; although there were no longer any barriers between them now, the ten-year separation unexpectedly felt somewhat awkward.

And his disciple, having only been apart from Chen Ying'er for a short while, actually had a longing as if they had been separated for three autumns? This completely overshadowed him.

Thinking of this, the more he thought, the angrier he became.

"Stop talking about these useless things. Cultivation is the priority; now is the best time for cultivation." He grabbed Ye Ling's arm and threw him directly toward the pool.

In mid-air, Ye Ling's clothes were ravaged by Spiritual Power and instantly shattered.

He fell into the pool instantly, landing perfectly without even a splash.

If this were in Ye Ling's past life participating in men's diving, it would probably have been a perfect score from the start.

"Steadily absorb these medicinal herbs and the source of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Magic Crystal to improve your External Spiritual Power."

Long Xingyu said in a deep voice.

Afterwards, he lifted the Seventh Rank Magic Crystal slightly, his Spiritual Power moving to raise it.

Inside it, a black dragon was constantly roaring, flashing with dazzling radiance, and continuously erupting with dense aura.

Seventh Rank! It represents ten thousand Spiritual Power, though it is impossible to fully transfer all the Spiritual Power within it to the user.

But it is enough to give Ye Ling a significant increase in External Spiritual Power; it just depends on how much he can absorb.

Soon, the Magic Crystal transformed into a black dragon and instantly rushed into the pool of water. Instantly, purple-black aura rose and swirled within it, constantly nourishing Ye Ling.

The moment he hit the water, Ye Ling stabilized his posture.

He sat cross-legged and calmed his mind to perceive.

"Senior Canghai, filter the Spiritual Power; Yating, amplify me," he said internally.

The Moon Bright Vast Sea Spiritual Stove and the Light Element Spiritual Stove, Yating, within his body did not hold back at all, beginning to amplify Ye Ling. At this moment, he began to continuously absorb all the medicinal power within.

As the spiritual liquid entered his body, Ye Ling only felt his aura rising continuously. At this moment, it was as if a powerful Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon was constantly roaring and fighting against him.

But the powerful aura entering his body also brought Ye Ling no small amount of pain, only he was able to endure it.

Ye Ling endured it, a layer of golden light appearing in his eyes. The Six-Winged Angel light within his body filled the entire bath, and even the entire room, continuously condensing extreme radiance.

If he had time to look at his system now, he would also be able to see his External Spiritual Power constantly:

【+1】

【+2】

【+3】

"Sure enough, this method can trigger his talent immediately. Next, it depends on what level he can trigger it to."

Long Xingyu's previous expression had vanished, replaced by a look of shock as he watched Ye Ling's face.

This cultivation phenomenon is too terrifying! He is worthy of being the first Child of Light to appear in the Dark Era after the Demon Race descended.

I will use all my strength to let you improve as quickly and steadily as possible; you are the Human, you are the future of the Holy Alliance.

Long Xingyu set up a Gathering Spirit Array, not intending to interfere with Ye Ling's cultivation.

After walking out of the room, he froze in place.

Because he saw two girls standing opposite each other, one tall and one short.

Staring at each other with wide eyes.

"This big sister (little sister) is so beautiful." These were the inner thoughts of both.

Chen Ying'er's personality was not that bold or daring.

Li Xin was different; with her tall figure, she looked down at Chen Ying'er, and after changing positions several times to admire her, she exclaimed, "What a cute girl."

Upon seeing Long Xingyu come over, she turned her head and asked, "Star Universe Hall Master, who is this girl? Did you bring her?"

Actually, Li Xin was not originally that presumptuous.

Especially toward this Divine Seal Knight whom she regarded as an idol, but he was the personal teacher of her younger brother Ye Ling, and he was Ye Ling's family.

And in Li Xin's view, Ye Ling's family could also be considered her own family.

"I didn't bring her; Ye Ling brought her," Long Xingyu replied.

"Yes, I come from Wanshou Pass and am a friend of Ye Ling. This time he went to Wanshou Pass to invite the Soul Temple Hall Master, and he happened to see me, so I followed him here."

"My brother's friend, hello, my name is Li Xin, I am Ye Ling's sworn sister." Li Xin nodded; she was not stupid and could see Chen Ying'er's difference, as well as the clothes she wore. Li Xin was not that widely traveled, but she had no problem with the lower limit of discernment.

However, she did not care; what friends Ye Ling made had nothing to do with her.

Anyway, given Ye Ling's character, the friends he made would certainly not be people of extremely poor character; she was at ease with this.

She turned to look at Long Xingyu and asked, "Star Universe Hall Master, where is Ye Ling?"

"He is cultivating inside; do you have business with him?" Long Xingyu asked, puzzled.

"Yes, he told me before that while I was evacuating the crowd, I should look for a young girl with a holy and elegant appearance who usually likes to wear white or purple clothes."

"You found her?" Long Xingyu asked, puzzled. "Found her? She delivered herself to my doorstep," Li Xin said helplessly. "While I was evacuating people, she came up to ask me if I had ever heard of Ye Ling."

"I originally thought she was his friend, but to my surprise, upon closer inspection, she was exactly the girl my younger brother described. I settled her in immediately and then came to find him."

Hearing this, Long Xingyu shook his head: "For this, wait for Ye Ling. Since he asked you to do this, he must have his own reasons. You wait for a moment; his cultivation this time won't take too long."

Li Xin nodded.

A moment later, a dragon's roar suddenly came from the quiet room where Ye Ling was cultivating, and powerful Spiritual Power leaked out continuously. That extreme aura of light even caused the Spiritual Power within Li Xin's body to be constantly stirred at this moment.

That was the eruption of the Child of Light! "Younger brother!" Sensing this, Li Xin was naturally somewhat excited. After receiving a confirming look from Long Xingyu, she opened the door immediately and stepped inside in an instant.

She walked back out suddenly after entering.

Her pretty face was flushed red, as if she had seen something she shouldn't have: "Star Universe Hall Master, you go. I'll just wait for him outside."

"Alright." Long Xingyu opened the main door and entered directly.

Before his eyes was a mess, with countless clear liquids flowing on the ground, among which were many wood shavings turned to powder. In the place where the cultivation had just occurred, there was a slightly faded Magic Crystal; it was the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon Magic Crystal.

Behind the Demon Dragon Crystal, Ye Ling was sitting cross-legged on the ground, completely naked. At this moment, he looked around in a daze. As he moved, his toned muscles shifted, displaying an excellent physique.

It was no wonder Li Xin had walked out with a flushed face just a moment ago.

However, Long Xingyu did not mind.

He slowly commented: "Not bad. Although you were unable to completely refine this Demon Dragon Crystal this time, judging from the current situation, the increase in your External Spiritual Power is definitely not small."

Hearing Long Xingyu's words, Ye Ling instinctively brought up his system panel.

【Name: Ye Ling!

External Spiritual Power: 350+ Internal Spiritual Power: 475+ (Innate Internal Spiritual Power 94) (Fused with Light Element Spiritual Stove, promoted by one point of Innate Internal Spiritual Power)

Martial Soul: Six-Winged Angel (Awakened!) (Has not yet reached the level of Divine Favor Awakening.) Soul Skills: First Soul Skill Sacred Light Shield, Second Soul Skill Holy Sword, Third Soul Skill Sacred Blast.

Spirit Stove: Wisdom Spiritual Stove Yue Ming Canghai, Light Element Spiritual Stove Yating.

Items: Spirit Demon Armor, Legendary Spirit Tool Angel Holy Sword, Half-Step Magic Radiant Shield!】

"According to my own calculations, it should have increased by about sixty percent, reaching the range of three hundred and fifty. That's not bad. Once this Magic Crystal is completely refined, my External Spiritual Power should be able to reach the range of five hundred or even six hundred points." Ye Ling nodded. With the sensory ability of the Child of Light, he could see roughly where he stood even without looking at the system.

He was quite satisfied with this improvement; the only pity was that he couldn't improve it all at once, as the medicinal herbs had run out.

He stood up and walked forward. As he walked, a light flashed on his chest, and little Yating, with a flushed face, used Light Spiritual Power to attach to Ye Ling, and a full set of tight-fitting clothes instantly landed on Ye Ling's body.

"Not bad. After this matter is over, I will prepare another session for you when we return to Yulong Pass." Long Xingyu smiled slightly: "Although for ordinary Knights, or even for me, it is impossible to make one's External Spiritual Power equal to one's Internal Spiritual Power, because our talent and potential do not allow it."

"But you, as the Child of Light, are different. You possess the strongest talent in this world, and many things that have never existed before can be absolutely manifested in you."

Long Xingyu said with satisfaction.

Taking this disciple was, in every respect, the best decision of his life.

Soon, they walked out of the door together.

"Sister, Ying Er." Ye Ling walked out and called out immediately.

Li Xin looked at Ye Ling's face, but her own face turned red without her realizing it.

Ye Ling: "???"

Why are you blushing like a teapot?

Li Xin also knew this was not the time for such things, so she cast aside her distracting thoughts and said directly: "The person you asked me to find, I found her."

"That person?" Ye Ling reacted immediately: "Take me to her."

Li Xin nodded and led the way immediately.

They walked to that quiet room, knocked on the door, and after entering, they could see Yue Ye sitting with her legs crossed, holding a teapot in her hand, pouring tea into a cup, and drinking it in a leisurely manner.

She was very confident.

"Ye Ling, it's her," Li Xin said. At this critical moment, there were no relatives, no sister and brother, only superiors and subordinates.

Business is business; this was Li Xin's way of survival.

After receiving a nod from Ye Ling, their years of tacit understanding were displayed.

She turned to Chen Ying'er and led the dazed girl out of the room.

"I heard you were looking for me?" Ye Ling stepped forward. On the way here, Li Xin had already told him everything.

"Yes, after all, you are the hero of the former Battle of Exorcist Pass. My friend participated in that battle and told me about you." Yue Ye smiled without warmth: "As the president of a chamber of commerce, I personally like to make friends with geniuses of the world. After all, more friends mean more paths, don't you think?"

"And a month ago, I used a few connections to learn that you had come to this Haoyue City after the great battle ended, so I intended to talk business with you."

Hearing this, Ye Ling became interested.

This Yue Ye was quite good at finding excuses. If he weren't a transmigrator who understood this woman well, he might have actually been fooled.

As a Demon Witch of the Moon Demon Clan, she wanted to find him? And she needed to use connections? She probably asked that Star Demon God successor to help with a prophecy, right?

Moreover, the timing was pure nonsense. He had only been here for about two days; what was this "a month ago" rubbish?

This art of prophecy was not up to par.

However, since he knew it was Yue Ye, everything became easy to handle.

"If that's what you say, then I understand clearly." Ye Ling smiled slightly; playing with conspiracies was normal.

But in the face of true strength, conspiracies were useless, so he exposed her directly: "President Yue Ye, if you intended to come here to watch a joke, then you have come to the wrong place."

Having said that, Ye Ling flicked his finger, and several streams of Light Spiritual Power surged out, forming a circle that bound the area around Yue Ye, then transformed into a prison, binding Yue Ye and the table together within it.

Seeing this, Yue Ye was stunned, looking at Ye Ling in astonishment. How did he know her identity?

But she still deliberately put on an angry expression: "Hero Ye? What is the meaning of this?"

"I came to find you for cooperation and friendship. If you are unwilling, then we shall part ways. What is this for? Could it be that people from the Knight Temple are so forceful in their dealings?"

However, he saw Ye Ling smile with disdain: "Demon Witch Yue Ye, as the contemporary Demon Witch of the Moon Demon Clan and a Princess of the Demon Race, your name 'Yue Ye' is indeed not very prominent within the Holy Alliance."

"And that friend of yours, is her name Leng Xiao? The true Princess of the Demon Race, the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon King Leng Xiao? Do you really think you are a true clever person, and I am a fool?"

"Speak, what is your objective? Was it you who plotted things for the Wolf Demon God? Tell me, what exactly is it, and do everything that needs to be done."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't mind letting you end up like your little sister, becoming a prisoner, and using you to trade for some resources with the Moon Demon God Agares."
