Chapter 16: Tu Qing Breaks Through to the Spirit Severing Stage

"I feel that I..."

Not knowing how much time had passed, Qin Miaoyin opened her eyes with an excited expression, but halfway through speaking, she realized Jiang Xun was cultivating and hurriedly shut her mouth.

She sat quietly to the side, watching Jiang Xun, waiting for him to wake up.

"Looking at it this way, Senior Lin Ye is actually quite handsome."

Qin Miaoyin leaned close to Jiang Xun's face to observe carefully; although he had white hair, white eyebrows, and a long white beard, his entire face had fewer wrinkles now that he had returned to the Golden Core stage.

It was just that his appearance looked a bit aged.

He certainly looked like he possessed the bearing of an immortal.

If Jiang Xun were willing to dress up, he would surely still be a handsome old man.

Now, with his hair draped loose and his whole body radiating Spirit Energy, he had the demeanor of an expert and a great sense of presence.

Even if he was old, Jiang Xun was, after all, born with a Natural Charm Bone; as long as one felt Jiang Xun was handsome in a certain moment, they would be captivated forever.

Boom!

A moment later, a powerful aura erupted from Jiang Xun's body.

His whole person began to withdraw his cultivation.

Just as Jiang Xun had expected, his cultivation had indeed been scattered by the Heavenly Tribulation; apart from his body being in a mess from being struck, there was also his Spirit Energy and soul that had not completely dissipated here on Lingxiao Mountain.

That Top-grade Soul Gathering Pill from just now had allowed Jiang Xun to recover all the cultivation he could, and his soul was also replenished to completion.

If his soul had not been fully replenished, Jiang Xun would have shattered at the slightest touch if he encountered a Divine Soul Attack technique.

After recovering all his scattered cultivation, Jiang Xun had gone from the early Golden Core stage to the late Golden Core stage; if he hadn't recovered it so late, there might have even been hope of reaching Golden Core Great Perfection directly.

"Hoo..."

Jiang Xun exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

Just as he opened his eyes, Jiang Xun saw Qin Miaoyin squatting in front of him, looking at him eagerly, so he asked.

"Old man, you are so handsome."

Qin Miaoyin looked at Jiang Xun with an adoring expression and said with a blushing face.

Jiang Xun raised an eyebrow upon hearing this; this young lady had fallen for his Charm Technique.

"Is that so? You like it?"

Jiang Xun simply hooked Qin Miaoyin's chin.

"I like it, I want it."

Qin Miaoyin nodded with a dazed expression.

"Want it? Want what?"

Jiang Xun laughed.

"Don't tease Miaoyin anymore..." Qin Miaoyin's little face turned red, she closed her eyes, and slightly pouted her lips.

Seeing this, Jiang Xun smiled and kissed her.

After a moment of intimacy, Jiang Xun and Qin Miaoyin both left the Wall Realm.

Just as he opened his eyes, Jiang Xun heard Heavenly Thunder outside; it must have been going on for some time, only Jiang Xun hadn't known.

Listening to the movement of the Heavenly Thunder, it should be a Nascent Soul cultivator undergoing Tribulation Transcendence; it was Tu Qing who was about to break through.

Jiang Xun took his cane and walked out of the small hut.

"Grandmaster! Look, it is the Sect Master undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation on the mountain!"

Lin Qingwan saw Jiang Xun come out and pointed at the mountain peak, shouting.

"Mm." Jiang Xun nodded, looking up at the sky, where purple lightning was continuously falling, striking the mountain peak.

On the mountain peak, a verdant green barrier was resisting the lightning; that was Tu Qing's protective Dharma Artifact.

Tu Qing held the Treasure Grade Jinghong Yuansheng Zither, the protective Green Jade Stone at her waist was shining brightly, and the bracelets on her left and right wrists were also flashing with light, protecting her body; sweat fell from her forehead as she resisted the Heavenly Thunder with all her might.

Boom!

Another bolt of Heavenly Thunder descended, and Tu Qing's protective Dharma Artifact was shattered directly.

"Which bolt is this?" Jiang Xun did not panic upon seeing this, because panicking would be useless.

"The eighth," Lin Qingwan said nervously, while also glancing at Jiang Xun with some tension.

Back then, it was Jiang Xun who had failed to withstand the ninth bolt of Heavenly Thunder.

Boom!

The ninth bolt of Heavenly Thunder sounded.

Tu Qing circulated her technique with all her strength and plucked the zither strings; a wave of red light headed toward the Heavenly Thunder.

Tu Qing's Nascent Soul was also ready to escape at any moment, to avoid being struck into complete annihilation of body and soul.

Standing to the side was Nanshan Peak Elder Li Mengqiu; if Tu Qing failed her Tribulation Transcendence, she would immediately seize Li Mengqiu's body.

Li Mengqiu was at the Nascent Soul Mid Stage and was Tu Qing's disciple; she was as loyal to Tu Qing as Gu Qing was to Jiang Xun.

The next moment, the Heavenly Thunder shattered Tu Qing's full-force strike and struck toward Tu Qing's head.

No one dared to help Tu Qing resist the Heavenly Tribulation.

Because once someone helped, the target of the Heavenly Tribulation would no longer be just the person undergoing the tribulation, but also the person helping her, and the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would become even greater; in that case, the tribulation would definitely fail.

"Urgh!"

Tu Qing was hit by the Heavenly Thunder and immediately let out a painful howl.

The Dharma Artifact in her hand was also shattered into pieces, but fortunately, the two jade bracelets ultimately saved Tu Qing's life, even though they broke into two halves.

Bang!

Afterward, a very powerful aura erupted from Tu Qing's body, and everyone nearby was blown away by this aura.

The injuries hit by the heavenly lightning were also recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The sky returned to calm, the clouds parted and the sun appeared.

A surge of Spirit Energy shot up from around Tu Qing, piercing through the cloud layer and forming a pillar of light visible to the naked eye.

It was as if it were announcing to the world the arrival of yet another Spirit Transformation Stage powerhouse.

Without the slightest hesitation, once her injuries had recovered, Tu Qing immediately used Wind Control to rush down the mountain, arriving before Jiang Xun in the blink of an eye.

"Sect Master!"

Seeing this, Lin Qingwan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly knelt down.

Tu Qing paid her no mind, quickly running up to Jiang Xun and pulling him into an embrace: "Senior Brother! Senior Brother!!"

Tu Qing's face was full of excitement as she shouted twice at Jiang Xun; even without extra words, Jiang Xun could tell what she wanted to say.

"Impressive, I knew you could do it."

Jiang Xun wrapped his arms around Tu Qing's slender waist and smiled.

Seeing this situation, Lin Qingwan was quite tactful, quietly turning around to leave the small house for a while.

"Senior Brother, hurry and help me stabilize my cultivation technique." Tu Qing raised her eyes, looking at Jiang Xun with eager anticipation, her face flushed with passion.

"Alright, today I shall tame you, this little Spirit Transformation Stage monster!"

Jiang Xun threw away his crutch and swept Tu Qing up in a bridal carry; this action gave Tu Qing quite a start.

"Senior Brother, you have this much strength now?" Tu Qing laughed, wrapping her arms around Jiang Xun's neck.

"I've always had it." Jiang Xun smiled, then carried Tu Qing as he walked into the house.

After entering the small house, Tu Qing waved her hand to shut the door, and before long, the unrestrained sounds of Tu Qing's pleasure drifted from within.

This Spirit Transformation Stage Tu Qing was indeed extraordinary, nearly snapping Jiang Xun's old waist—four whole hours!

A whole day had passed!

Who else would dare to toss one about like this?

"I heard that the Baiyun Sect has already set off for Xuwang Mountain. Since you have successfully broken through, I will set off tomorrow with Gu Qing and Liu Ruoyun."

Afterwards, Jiang Xun said while holding Tu Qing in his arms.

"Are you really not going to take Li Mengqiu and Xie Leng?"

Tu Qing asked with concern.

"Really, no need."

Jiang Xun nodded.

"Then, if there is trouble, use a Transmission Talisman to find me, and I will rush to Xuwang Mountain immediately."

Seeing this, Tu Qing had no choice but to say.

"If you go, this matter will escalate into a sect war, and by then I fear our Lingerie-Sect will be besieged. Listen to me, stay on the mountain obediently and protect the Lingerie-Sect well."

Jiang Xun gave Tu Qing's bare bottom a pat and smiled.

"Ah..." Tu Qing was also made to blush by Jiang Xun's slap.
