Chapter 441: The Excited President

However, after thinking about it.

Earlier, Zhang Qili, for the Pure Yang Jade Pendant, had appeared in Jinling.

It's normal for the Zhang Clan to appear at this gathering.

The girl looked at Lin Yang and snorted.

"I am Zhang Qiling, Zhang Qili is my brother!"

Lin Yang nodded and said.

"So, you came to regain face for your brother?"

"Or are you planning to cling to the Jiang Clan's thigh to come seek revenge on me?"

Zhang Qiling glanced at Jiang Fei, then spoke softly.

"I just happened to meet him; our Zhang Clan handles things without relying on others."

Lin Yang nodded and said: 'That's not bad.'

Upon hearing, Zhang Qiling's beautiful eyes widened as she stared at Lin Yang.

"Can you evaluate our Zhang Clan?"

"Apologize quickly!"

Seeing Lin Yang just smile and not give her face, Zhang Qiling angrily raised her hand.

"You're asking for me to teach you a lesson!"

She had just finished speaking when Jiang Fei stood beside him.

"Ling'er, let me handle this brat."

"Don't let him dirty your hands."

Hearing Jiang Fei call her Ling'er, Zhang Qiling frowned slightly and said.

"Jiang Fei, you should call me by my full name; we're not that close."

Zhang Qiling's words left Jiang Fei feeling embarrassed.

Looking at Jiang Fei's appearance, Lin Yang laughed and said.

"Do you know? A sycophant who licks to the end ends up with nothing."

"You'd better stop licking."

Jiang Fei, upon hearing, angrily shouted.

"Shut your mouth!"

"Even if it's not for Ling'er, I will still deal with you!"

"You are an enemy of our Jiang Clan!"

Saying that, he was about to make a move.

Just as everyone looked expectant, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Everyone, today is the exchange meeting; the exchange hasn't even started yet, and you're planning to start fighting?"

A voice came from the heavens, causing many to look up.

Only seen was an old man with white hair and a goat beard descending from the sky.

After the old man landed, Ding Biao beside him exclaimed in disbelief.

"President, you have returned!"

The old man laughed and said: 'Today is the grand gathering of Jinling cultivators; as the host, how could I be absent?'

Seeing the old man descend from the sky, many narrowed their eyes.

They knew the old man wasn't capable of sustained flight, but he had managed a brief levitation.

This strength likely means he has reached Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

If he could complete Jié dān in his remaining days, the old man could live several more decades!

Moreover, the longer a cultivator lives, the more formidable they become.

Such a promising cultivator is still best not to offend lightly.

After having second thoughts, everyone smiled and clasped their fists, saying.

"As expected of the association president, indeed impressive."

"At this age, already seeing the path to Golden Core."

"President, rest assured, we are people who understand the rules; naturally we know what to do!"

Hearing everyone's words, the old man smiled satisfactorily.

He walked to Jiang Fei's side and said with a smile.

"Young Master Jiang, aren't you planning to give me face?"

Although Jiang Fei is arrogant, he also knows that it's best not to offend the old man before him.

He looked at Lin Yang, gave a cold snort, and said.

"Let you live a little longer; after the exchange meeting ends, you will know how formidable our Jiang Clan is."

Zhang Qiling looked at the old man and showed a sweet smile.

"Grandfather Wu, hello."

The old man laughed heartily and said to Zhang Qiling.

"I didn't expect that the one coming to our Jinling is Ling'er."

"If I had known, I would have returned to Jinling with you."

Upon hearing, Ding Biao's heart jolted.

Could it be that during the president's disappearance, he was with the Zhang Clan all along?

As he was thinking that, the old man turned his gaze to Ding Biao and said.

Ding Biao, I remember you; when you first joined the association, you were just a newcomer.

Now, you've actually reached late-stage Liàn qì, and you'll soon achieve Zhù jī.

It seems our association has produced a genius.

Ding Biao, hearing that, immediately shook his head and said.

What genius am I? This is all thanks to Mr. Lin's help.

It's he who made my progress so rapid.

Upon hearing it was Lin Yang who did it, the old man looked at Lin Yang with some surprise.

Lin Yang, I've heard your name; I know you're formidable and skilled in Formation (Array). Could it be you're also adept at guiding cultivation?

Lin Yang, hearing that, gave a slight smile and said.

I'm not skilled at guiding cultivation; I merely provided him a place to cultivate.

Plus, some pills I refined myself.

Upon hearing Lin Yang could refine pills, Zhang Qiling showed some surprise.

You can also refine pills?

What's so hard about that?

Lin Yang countered.

Hearing Lin Yang's counterquestion, Zhang Qiling stared at him as if seeing a ghost.

Not to mention places like Modu, teeming with hidden talents; even Jinling has plenty of cultivators.

But cultivators who can refine pills, especially those that aid cultivation, are as rare as one in a thousand li.

That's still picking from among a thousand cultivators.

Once one appears, the great clans will all treat him as an honored guest.

She looked at Lin Yang and said, "Do you genuinely not know, or are you just showing off?"

Do you know how difficult pill refining is?

Seeing Zhang Qiling's earnest expression, Lin Yang said.

Is it that hard? If you want to learn, I can teach you.

Zhang Qiling, who had intended to retort Lin Yang a few lines, upon hearing this, immediately said excitedly.

Really?

Just after saying that, he became a bit annoyed.

This guy, he's not just trying to make himself happy, is he!

The old man beside him also said to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang, refining pills is no child's play, let alone teaching others...

Lin Yang looked at him and said, "Refining pills really isn't difficult; when my master taught me medical arts, he said a good doctor must know how to refine pills."

The old man, hearing that, couldn't help but frown and said.

You also know medical arts?

Yes.

Seeing Lin Yang nod, the old man asked.

Then take a look at this old man; see if he's ill.

He was testing Lin Yang to see if he truly was as he claimed.

If it's true, then tonight he will protect Lin Yang.

If it's false, then let him live or die on his own.

Lin Yang looked at Lin Yang, gave a slight smile, and said.

You have an illness, and it's an old injury.

The old man, hearing that, narrowed his eyes and said.

Please continue.

Your injury has damaged your internal organs; thus, whenever you exert your full strength, you feel unbearable pain in your five viscera.

So, over these years, whether cultivating or fighting others, you've been extremely cautious.

This has caused you to develop a psychological block, which is one of the reasons you cannot enter Jié dān.

Upon hearing that, the old man's pupils contracted.

What Lin Yang said is basically true.

Over these years, he avoids physical confrontation whenever possible.

This is because he worries about his injury.

But this prevents him from breaking through to Jié dān, something he never expected.

He, feeling somewhat excited, said to Lin Yang.

So, if I exert my full strength, can I break through to Jié dān?

Lin Yang shook his head and said, "No."
