Chapter 112

"Safe travels, Senior!"

At the edge of the sea of clouds, He Pingsheng respectfully bowed to the flying boat that had already started moving forward.

On the flying boat sat three people.

Seeing Qiao Huizhu, the Daoist nun Qiao, and a male disciple.

The Daoist nun Qiao looked at He Pingsheng with a smile and said, "You're already engaged, are you still calling me Senior?"

Yu Ning reached out and pinched He Pingsheng's arm hard.

He Pingsheng hurriedly changed his words: "Safe travels, Aunt!"

"Good, good, good..." The Daoist nun Qiao nodded while smiling: "Young man, cultivate diligently!"

"Although you and Huizhu have set a marriage contract, if you cannot break through to the Golden Core Stage in this life, this marriage contract will ultimately be nothing but a moon reflected in water or a flower in a mirror!"

"Remember this, remember this!"

"We're leaving!"

The old woman waved her hand, and the flying boat beneath her feet automatically rose, slowly heading toward the sea of clouds.

The Daoist nun Qiao was opposed to the marriage between her niece Seeing Qiao Huizhu and He Pingsheng.

Not only was she opposed, but the entire upper echelon of Mount Tianqiang was opposed.

Why?

Our family's disciple is so outstanding, a heaven-defying disciple of Mount Tianqiang, and even holds the reputation of being the number one beauty of the Dao Xuan Alliance; why should she marry an ordinary little cultivator who is unknown?

The key was that this guy also had average looks and average aptitude.

But there was no help for it!

Who told her niece to encounter an inner demon when breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage?

Although He Pingsheng didn't matter, her niece's inner demon was a major issue.

The upper echelon of Mount Tianqiang had also thought about killing He Pingsheng to end the inner demon once and for all.

But they were afraid.

First, although He Pingsheng was insignificant, he was, after all, a disciple of Tai Xu Men.

There was no benefit in easily offending a large sect.

Second, what if killing He Pingsheng made her niece's inner demon even worse?

Who could guarantee that killing someone would remove an inner demon?

They didn't dare to gamble.

So, after several discussions by the upper echelon of Mount Tianqiang, they adopted this current method.

Marry first, but set a condition you can never reach.

Golden Core Stage?

Hehehe...

On the flying boat, the corner of the Daoist nun Qiao's mouth revealed a sneer: Someone who takes three years to break through from the seventh to the eighth layer of Qi Condensation will struggle just to reach Foundation Establishment in this life.

Still want to break through to the Golden Core Stage?

Forget it.

Once his lifespan is exhausted, he will naturally perish, and her niece's love tribulation will be over.

It doesn't matter.

It's just a piece of paper for a marriage contract.

"After you go back, can you cultivate with peace of mind?" The Daoist nun Qiao looked at Seeing Qiao Huizhu.

Seeing Qiao Huizhu nodded.

Xiuzhu Peak!

The warmth on Yu Ning's face instantly turned to ice.

"Hmph..." she snorted coldly.

Beside her, He Pingsheng asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Yu Ning said, "Old Nine... do you think they came to marry you in good faith?"

He Pingsheng looked blank: "Why... is it not in good faith?"

"You are confused!" Yu Ning poked He Pingsheng's head hard with her finger and said, "If they were marrying, they would marry; why set a condition for you to reach the Golden Core Stage before you can be wed? What does that mean?"

"Isn't this just playing with you?"

"Do you think you have a chance to reach the Golden Core Stage in this life?"

Golden Core...

This is a dream beyond the reach of countless cultivators.

Most of the heaven-defying geniuses in those sects cannot even enter the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Some who luckily step into the Foundation Establishment Stage then fade into the crowd, unable to break through a single layer for decades.

Let's put it this way: entering Foundation Establishment relies on talent.

But if you want to enter the Golden Core Stage, you must not only have talent, but also perseverance, luck, and opportunity.

Not one can be missing!

Otherwise, why would the vast Tai Xu Men, with thousands of inner sect disciples and tens of thousands of outer sect disciples, only have a few Golden Core cultivators?

The difficulty of this can be imagined.

"I think..." He Pingsheng scratched his head and said, "I should be able to!"

"Hah..." Yu Ning was so angry she laughed and said, "You kid are quite confident... forget it, forget it, you are young and don't know the hardships of cultivation!"

"When you reach Foundation Establishment..."

Having said this, Yu Ning felt it wasn't good to convey these things to her disciple as a Master, so she changed her words: "I hope you can, I hope you ultimately win the beauty's heart!"

"Thank you, Master!" He Pingsheng smiled brilliantly.

But in the blink of an eye, he asked with some seriousness: "Disciple has a question and would like to ask Master to clear up my confusion!"

Yu Ning said, "Go ahead and speak!"

He Pingsheng asked, "Master, do you know what a Void Linggen is?"

Seeing Qiao Huizhu had said that Xiao Xuan, a disciple of the Bingji Immortal Sect, was a Void Linggen.

So He Pingsheng went back and looked it up in the 【Miscellaneous Notes on Cultivation】.

He did indeed find something about the Void Linggen, but the record in the book was too brief, only stating that this Void Linggen was extremely rare, highly plastic, and a type of Linggen encountered once in ten thousand years.

There was no further description.

After reading these introductions, He Pingsheng was still confused and had no concept, so he asked Yu Ning.

Yu Ning looked up and said, "Void Linggen, why are you suddenly asking me about this?"

He Pingsheng said, "Disciple heard that this Bingji Immortal Sect has produced a Void Linggen!"

"Yes!" Yu Ning nodded and said, "I heard about it a while ago; it is said that it only took him three years to go from having nothing to reaching the tenth layer of Qi Condensation!"

"As for what a Void Linggen is?"

"Let's put it this way!"

Yu Ning organized her words slightly before saying, "Void means nothing; under normal circumstances, when using ordinary means to test, a cultivator with a Void Linggen will test as a mortal with no Linggen!"

"But they are not without a Linggen; it's just that this type of Linggen cannot be detected by you!"

"So... this disciple of the Bingji Sect was thought by everyone to have no Linggen at the beginning, and he remained an ordinary mortal until he was twenty!"

"Even he himself didn't know he had a Linggen!"

"Later, at twenty, this disciple accidentally saw a cultivation technique, and upon trying it, discovered he could actually cultivate, and he broke through to the first layer of Qi Condensation in half an hour; only then did the people of the Bingji Sect realize it!"

He Pingsheng nodded.

The so-called first layer of Qi Condensation is just guiding Qi into the body.

For a genius, this is very easy.

However, half an hour is too easy.

I spent many days just finding the sensation of Qi.

"Void does not mean truly nothing!" Yu Ning continued. "It means formless and imageless!"

"All formless and imageless things have one characteristic, which is that they have ten thousand forms and ten thousand images!"

"Take this Void Linggen as an example: when he cultivates a fire-attribute technique, this Linggen becomes a single fire Linggen; when he cultivates a wood-attribute technique, it becomes a single wood Linggen; and so on!"

"He can simulate all the Linggens in this cultivation world!"

"And it is not limited to the five elements; any Linggen can be simulated!"

"Moreover, when simulating other attribute Linggens, the efficiency is not inferior to those single fire or single wood Linggens, and it is even higher!"

Hiss...

Hearing Yu Ning's introduction, He Pingsheng gasped: This is too damn strong, isn't it?
