Chapter 1765: Remember One Thing

Therefore, he must restore his strength as soon as possible.

Just at this moment, he suddenly felt a disturbance. He hurriedly leaped up and slashed with his palm.

A long spear was knocked flying by him and landed in the distance.

"Who?" Zhao Yang shouted loudly. He stared tightly at the distant tree and said sternly: "Get out here!"

A young man walked out from the dense forest. He looked at Zhao Yang with a relaxed expression, completely unaffected in the slightest.

Seeing this, Zhao Yang was stunned. He never expected to encounter a young man around his own age.

This young man's appearance was extremely beautiful; even in Zhao Yang's memory, he had never seen a girl as pretty as her.

"You..." He opened his mouth, Zhang Zui, but ultimately did not speak the words.

He was not a fool and naturally guessed that this young girl must have followed him here. However, he was unclear why she wanted to help him.

"My name is Qin Shuang'er." The young girl walked over slowly. She looked straight at Zhao Yang and said: "You saved my father; I should repay your kindness."

"You know the Head of the Zhao family?" Zhao Yang said in surprise.

"Mm." The young girl nodded.

"I see." Zhao Yang suddenly understood.

"You saved my father; I owe you a life. Today I help you defend against enemies, so let's call it even." Qin Shuang'er said.

"How did you know I was here? And waited here specifically?" Zhao Yang asked. His expression became solemn; he vaguely felt the other party was not simple.

"Just now someone was spying on you nearby; I was just about to deal with him!" Qin Shuang'er's tone was cold, as if recounting something trivial.

Zhao Yang's pupils shrank slightly; the other party actually knew even such secret matters. It seemed he truly underestimated Qin Shuang'er. He secretly rejoiced in his heart that the other party did not act directly; otherwise, today he would probably find it hard to return alive.

Qin Shuang'er seemed to sense his thoughts and smiled: "Rest assured, I will not kill innocents indiscriminately."

Hearing the other party's promise, Zhao Yang relaxed slightly. He looked at Qin Shuang'er and said: "Thank you, Miss, for your assistance. I am Zhao Yang; I do not know your honorable name."

"My name is Shuang'er; you may call me Shuang'er in the future." Qin Shuang'er said: "I originally intended to teach a lesson to that black-clad man who ambushed you, but seeing you had already subdued him, I did not act."

Zhao Yang gave a bitter smile; he never expected that while he was worrying she would act, she simply found him unworthy of attention. He felt somewhat embarrassed in his heart. "By the way, why were you following me?" Zhao Yang asked in confusion.

"My father's cultivation has been sealed; he cannot continue cultivating. This time I am going to Juncheng to find some spiritual herbs to repair the seal." Qin Shuang'er said: "I could sense a strong aura nearby that did not belong here, so I followed. I originally wanted to stop you, but I did not expect you to be so useless, getting ambushed by someone at the third level of the Qi Condensation realm."

Zhao Yang's face looked somewhat ugly; although the other party spoke quite elegantly, he heard the word "useless" clearly.

"However, you managed to drive back the black-clad man, which counts as some skill." Qin Shuang'er continued: "If you are willing, you can return to Juncheng with me. I know a pill alchemist proficient in seal repair; he should be able to repair my father's seal."

Hearing this, Zhao Yang felt a joy; this was a good opportunity for him. With this young girl's help, he would not have to worry about being ambushed. Moreover, this young girl was also a pill alchemist, which was equally very beneficial to him.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry and come with me!" Qin Shuang'er frowned and urged.

Zhao Yang bitterly smiled in his heart; he had been saved by a young girl, and now he had to flatter her in return. If this got out, he would probably be laughed at until his teeth fell out.

However, he held back this anger, handed the black-clad man in his arms to Qin Shuang'er to deal with. He himself walked to the big tree and picked up that long spear.

This long spear was made of refined iron, and it also carried a layer of spiritual energy fluctuation. Even with Zhao Yang's eyesight, he could see the extraordinary nature of this long spear.

"You are lucky; this long spear is a spiritual artifact." Qin Shuang'er said: "However, it has already recognized a master; you cannot unleash its full power."

Zhao Yang held the long spear, feeling somewhat reluctant in his heart. He originally intended to claim this long spear as his own; now it seemed that idea would come to nothing.

"If you are willing, I can have my father forge a better weapon for you." Qin Shuang'er seemed to see through his thoughts and said.

"Then thank you." Zhao Yang was overjoyed; what he lacked most was a weapon. Moreover, his strength had already fallen to the bottom. If there was an opportunity, he would naturally want to restore his strength to the fourth level of the Body Tempering realm or even higher.

Qin Shuang'er brought Zhao Yang into a spatial ring where a strong person was sealed. After she took the black-clad man out of the spatial ring, she put Zhao Yang back in.

"In three days, we can return to Juncheng." Qin Shuang'er said: "This journey is very long; you no longer need to waste time cultivating. Just behave yourself!"

Zhao Yang bitterly smiled in his heart; it seemed that he, this useless person, would forever be useless in the other party's eyes. He did not want to provoke the other party's anger, so he said nothing.

Qin Shuang'er seemed to have a very good impression of Zhao Yang; she talked a lot along the way. It seemed she had not spoken to anyone for a long time, and Zhao Yang was the only one speaking with her.

Three days passed very quickly; when Zhao Yang was let out, they had already arrived outside Juncheng.

"This is the courtyard where my father is located." Qin Shuang'er pointed to a large courtyard ahead and said: "Come with me."

Zhao Yang followed Qin Shuang'er into the courtyard. In the courtyard, a middle-aged man was refining pills. Seeing Qin Shuang'er, he immediately put down his work and walked over.

"Shuang'er, you are back." The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Who is this?" He looked at Zhao Yang in confusion, as if asking who this strange young man was.

"This is Zhao Yang; he saved my life." Qin Shuang'er said: "I will introduce you to him. Zhao Yang, this is my father, Qin Tian."

"Qin Tian?" Zhao Yang was startled in his heart; this middle-aged man was actually the famous pill alchemist of the Qin family, Qin Tian. He never expected to have the opportunity to know such a great figure.

"Mr. Qin, hello." Zhao Yang immediately clasped his hands in a bow. He knew Qin Tian's status was no small matter; if the other party wanted to kill him, he absolutely had no ability to resist.

"Oh? This young brother actually knows me?" Qin Tian said with some surprise.

"I have heard others mention Mr.'s name and have always admired Mr." Zhao Yang immediately said.

Qin Tian smiled slightly, nodded, and said: "Come with me; let us go to the study to talk."

Zhao Yang knew Qin Tian wanted to talk to Qin Shuang'er alone; naturally, he would not object. After all, he was just about to use this opportunity to ask some things he wanted to know.

In the study, Qin Tian and Zhao Yang sat opposite each other.

"Young brother, I do not know when you and Shuang'er met, nor do I interfere." Qin Tian said bluntly: "However, I must remind you that Shuang'er is not an ordinary girl. She is very favored in our Qin family and has also been hated by many people."

"Is Mr. worried about my safety?" Zhao Yang thought silently in his heart. Although he thought this, he said: "Mr., you do not need to worry about my safety. I will naturally find a way to protect myself."

Qin Tian smiled slightly; he knew he had not misjudged the person. If it were anyone else, they would probably immediately pat their chest and promise to protect Shuang'er. However, Zhao Yang did not do this; he knew Shuang'er's identity was special. If anyone really needed to protect Shuang'er, then it should be him.

"I need to know some things." Zhao Yang looked at Qin Tian and said seriously: "Above Body Tempering, are there still realm divisions?"

Qin Tian was slightly stunned; he never expected Zhao Yang to ask this question. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Yes, above Body Tempering there are seven realms: Qi Condensation, Spirit Transformation, Conceptual Realm, Saint Entry, Void Breaking, Half-God, and Return to One."

Zhao Yang was startled in his heart; this realm division was consistent with what he saw in the library. He then asked: "Is there any basis for these realm divisions?" Qin Tian looked at Zhao Yang, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. He seemed to be considering whether he should tell Zhao Yang these things. After a while, he finally spoke: "These divisions are actually humanity's understanding of their own cultivation. Body Tempering is the foundation; it represents our control over the body and mastery of strength. Qi Condensation is the condensation and application of internal energy. Above that, every realm is a deeper layer of application and control over one's own power."

"What about Spirit Transformation?" Zhao Yang asked.

"Spirit Transformation is the cultivation and control of one's own spirit. People who reach this realm can influence reality through spiritual power and can even temporarily detach from the body, existing in the form of spirit." Qin Tian explained.

"What about Conceptual Realm?"

"Conceptual Realm is an understanding and realization of the world. Every Conceptual Realm has its unique concept; only by truly understanding this world can one enter this realm." Qin Tian said.

Zhao Yang fell silent, digesting everything Qin Tian had said. The world he knew and the true face of this world seemed to have a huge difference. And this difference, he needed time to adapt to and understand.

"Entering Saint, Breaking the Void, Half-God, Returning to One—what realms are these?" Zhao Yang asked.

Qin Tian looked at Zhao Yang, a flicker of appreciation passing through his eyes. He continued, "These are far more profound realms; you do not need to know them yet."

Zhao Yang asked no more, knowing he still had much to learn and understand. Such things could only be gained through his own efforts. He thanked Qin Tian for the information, then stood up to leave.

"Zhao Yang, remember one thing," Qin Tian said, looking at him. "This world is vast; what you know is but a Bingshan. Always maintaining curiosity and awe will do you no harm."

Zhao Yang took a deep breath and nodded. He knew he faced a brand new world, one filled with the unknown and possibilities.

"I will. Thank you, Mr. Qin," he said to Qin Tian.

Watching Zhao Yang's retreating figure, a resolve flashed in Qin Tian's eyes. He knew this young man would go far, farther than he could imagine. Zhao Yang left the courtyard of the Qin family, his mind full of thought. He had originally believed he understood this world, but now he realized he knew far, far too little.

He decided that from now on, he needed to cultivate even harder. He needed to understand the rules and mysteries of this world more deeply.

Just as Zhao Yang was about to go chat with Qin Shuang, an unexpected voice sounded behind him.

"Little brother, what a coincidence." Zhao Yang turned around and found a middle-aged man in a green long robe smiling at him.

"So it is Master Lin." Zhao Yang recognized the man; he was an alchemist in Juncheng, and with Qin Tian 8;'
