BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114 - 114: Defying Fate_l
However, Mu Ling’s situation should be considered first.
This girl looks like she’s twenty, but her age isn’t much younger than him, the key is her excellent talent and high level of cultivation, which makes her look
young.
A Tier 5 Medium Grade Spiritual Root, Golden Elixir Tier 5 cultivation, and a Third Grade Middle-Level Formation Master.
Actually, considering her spiritual root and cultivation alone is pretty good, but the key is her terrifying achievements in Array Formation.
To know that even after Qin Changqing has absorbed a hundred years of experience, he is only at the Third Grade Upper-Level, this girl has probably been learning Array Formation for just over thirty years, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will at least become a Fifth Grade Formation Master. Perhaps if fortune comes, she can even try to break through to the Sixth Grade.
A Sixth Grade Formation Master, even a powerful being at the Divine Transformation Realm would have to bow down to her.
Not marrying such a girl into the Qin family would simply be a violation of the natural order!
That being said, there are many factors to consider when marrying the daughter of Peak Master Mu.
One must first see if the other party is willing.
Secondly, one must also see if her father is willing.
Qin Changqing wasn’t in a hurry, he let Mu Ling stay in the Qin family for two months, letting her experience the beautiful and harmonious atmosphere of the family before talking about the matter.
However, he soon realized that his calculations were off.
Because Mu Ling doesn’t communicate with other people at all!
For a full two months, Mu Ling didn’t step out of the courtyard, she didn’t eat, she barely left her room, researching Array Formation by herself in her room!
Oh right, occasionally she would ask, ‘Brother Qin, have you finished your work?’, and when she got the reply that he hadn’t finished, she would say,
“Alright, I’ll wait.’
It was quite frustrating.
“Pffft, hahaha! Husband, you miscalculated, right? Sister Mu Ling is famously hardworking in the Sect, she rarely concerns herself with worldly affairs, and spends her days secluded in meditation except for important matters.” Liu Siqi was about to die laughing.
Husband, you’re so silly, didn’t you do your research on this?
She knew exactly what kind of calculations Qin Changqing was making.
All the women of the Qin family knew about it.
She laughed, they had fun, and then they were all taken to Qin Changqing’s room for a thorough application of family discipline.
Then, one day, Mu Ling finally took the initiative to come and find him.
“Brother Qin.” Mu Ling got straight to the point, “I’ve found that the entire Qin family is covered by a powerful Array Formation.”
“Oh, there is indeed an Array Formation, what’s wrong?”
“I’ve studied it for two months and found four Array Nodes, but there should be a core Array Node here, which I haven’t been able to find. Where have you hidden it?”
As expected of an Array Formation genius, she immediately grasped the key points.
Qin Changqing laughed, “There is indeed another one.”
He revealed the secret of the Heaven and Earth Qianhe Array to Mu Ling.
“So that’s how it is!” Mu Ling’s eyes lit up, “This Array Formation is indeed ingenious. Although it seems to be based on the power of the Five Elements, in fact, the element of Earth is the core of the Array Formation. Without understanding this, even if you want to break the other Array Nodes, it would be difficult.
“Each Array Node is connected to the core, with the Earth Node being in control of trapping and defending. With this Array Node, breaking the formation becomes difficult.
“To find this Array Node, you need to first break the other Array Nodes, and then reverse the process and unlock the core rules. This design is truly ingenious, and this set of Array Formation is already top-notch among Tier 3 Formations. Brother Qin, I admire your ability to set this up.”
Mu Ling bowed to Qin Changqing.
Qin Changqing stroked his chin.
He suddenly, seemingly, perhaps, began to have a bit of an idea of how to get along with Mu Ling.
Lingxiao Sect, Xuanyi Peak.
Inside Qin Lingshuang’s cave dwelling.
She sat cross-legged on a cushion, with golden light flowing over her body like ripples on water, quite peculiar.
Within the golden light, a white gold light orb slowly condensed in her arms.
This light orb formed a subtle connection with the spiritual qi inside her body, with energy circulating continuously.
This process has been going on for almost three months now.
At the side, MO Jiuzhou furrowed his brows.
“Really greedy.”
Based on Qin Lingshuang’s current situation, she could form her Golden Elixir now.
However, if she were to stop at this point, the quality of her Golden Elixir would only reach the Sixth Grade.
Although it’s not bad, it’s still far inferior to those heavenly talents.
There’s no other way since her innate Spiritual Root isn’t high. To truly change her fate, she must wait until the Nascent Soul Stage later on.By the Nascent
Soul stage, it is possible to improve one’s aptitude by refining the Nascent Soul. Although this kind of elixir is extremely rare, at least it gives people hope, right?
But right now, the difficulty of Qin Lingshuang trying to defy the heavens and change her fate is too high.
Fortunately, she has the support of the Sword Body, otherwise her Golden Elixir quality would be no more than Tier 8 at most.
“Girl, if you continue like this, the spiritual Qi won’t be able to hold on any longer,” MO Jiuzhou reminded her.
Qin Lingshuang clenched her teeth and didn’t say anything, but she still persisted without solidifying her Golden Elixir.
“With your sword body, even if the quality of your Golden Elixir is a little lower, it is enough to make up for the gap. At least it should be far more than enough compared to your sister.”
“Master, I don’t want to compete with anyone. I only want to guard and protect Senior Brother in this life,” said Qin Lingshuang with difficulty.
MO Jiuzhou was taken aback.
He initially thought Qin Lingshuang was so desperate to prove something to her family.
He didn’t expect it to be just for Qin Changqing.
MO Jiuzhou shook his head and sighed. “Forget it, you all have such stubborn personalities.”
He took an elixir out of his storage bag.
He stared at it for a while.
“Originally, it was prepared for that kid, but it seems like he has his own adventures too… doesn’t matter, giving it to my disciple-daughter is the same,” MO Jiuzhou said to himself as he crushed the elixir with his power. He then flicked the powdery mixture into Qin Lingshuang’s body with his finger.
Immediately after, a massive amount of spiritual Qi surged towards Xuanyi Peak from all directions, forming a terrifying vortex under MO Jiuzhou’s control.
Rumble, rumble, rumble…
The vortex stirred the air in the cave, as turbulent as a raging sea.
Qin Lingshuang was in the vortex, feeling the spiritual Qi surging like an ocean or tide, never running out!
“Master… ”
“Don’t get distracted. Focus on the breakthrough with the help of the elixir. Remember, a Tier 4 Golden Elixir is the baseline; don’t disappoint me.”
Fourth Grade Golden Elixir!?
Qin Lingshuang was shocked beyond belief.
She never dared to think about it before.
If it weren’t for MO Jiuzhou saying it, she might not dare to believe it.
But Senior Brother said, ‘Although the old man is usually not serious, he is definitely reliable,’ so she believed what MO Jiuzhou said.
The majestic spiritual Qi flooded into the platinum light sphere.
At the same time, the mysterious power created by the elixir quickly purified the quality of the Golden Elixir.
The effect was more than ten times faster than when Qin Lingshuang was refining it by herself earlier!
What kind of elixir is this!?
But there was no time to think about it now.
Qin Lingshuang calmed her heart and focused on breaking through to the Golden Elixir Realm with this opportunity.
The commotion on Xuanyi Peak caught the attention of many people. “It’s Senior Sister Qin’s cave, what’s with all the commotion?”
“Could it be that Senior Sister Qin is trying to break through to the Golden Elixir stage?”
“How is that possible? Senior Sister Qin just entered the Tier 8 Foundation Establishment during the Sect’s Grand Competition. How could she progress so quickly?”
“Hard to say, she did receive guidance from the Sect Leader.”
Everyone’s attention was focused on the direction of Qin Lingshuang’s cave as the spiritual Qi surged like ocean waves.
However, even though they were curious, no one went over.
After all, everyone knew that the most taboo thing during a breakthrough is to be disturbed by others.
The phenomenon lasted for three days before it finally stopped.
Three days later, as the surging of spiritual Qi subsided, a powerful sword intent soared into the sky in its place!
Clang!
The clouds in the sky were spread apart by the sword intent!
The sound of the sword’s hum was not loud.
But it seemed to have ‘cut’ the sky into two halves!
