My Son Turned Out to Be an Unparalleled Expert
In the Liang Kingdom, an army of mortals is besieging a massive Hui Serpent Hui Serpent spews black venom.
Any ordinary soldiers or warhorses splashed with the venom were quickly corroded, leaving only rotting bones.
"Ah!"
A general at the Qi Condensation Realm was splashed with a few drops of poison, and his arm quickly turned black.
The general gritted his teeth, made a bold decision, and severed his own arm with a single stroke!
He quickly swallowed a hemostatic pill to stop the gushing blood. "This beast has destroyed more than a dozen villages and still wants to attack the city. Fire arrows!"
Thousands of archers drew their bows and nocked arrows, unleashing a dense rain of arrows that fell upon the Hui Serpent's head, only to be blocked by its chilling, layered, emerald-green scales.
Enraged, the Hui Serpent opened its blood-red maw, emitting a foul stench, and swallowed several archers whole!
"Fight this beast!"
Several Qi Condensation Realm generals joined forces, their broadswords unleashing several-foot-long blades of energy that slashed towards the giant serpent.
The Hui Serpent shook its head, showing no fear whatsoever. Its enormous head simply took the brunt of the blade's energy and charged forward.
"Puff!"
A Qi Condensation Realm was struck by the snake's head, coughed up blood, and died.
The other Qi Condensation Realm generals were also affected and were all seriously injured.
The Hui Serpents continued their rampage, and hundreds of soldiers were killed by the ferocious giant snakes.
"No, it still won't work. This beast has already formed its Nascent Soul. Unless we bring Dao cultivation a highly skilled cultivator, we can't stop it from entering the city."
The commander of this mortal army was a burly middle-aged man with a cultivation level of the Fifth Layer of the Golden Core Realm. His face was covered with scars, and he had been through countless battles. However, he was helpless against the Nascent Soul Realm Hui Serpent Realm viper.
As the Hui Serpents raged, two streaks of light appeared in the sky and stopped. They were a young man and woman flying on swords. "These are Hui Serpents. According to the Shushan records, a serpent transforms into a dragon after a thousand years, and a dragon transforms into a dragon after ten thousand years."
Upon seeing the two cultivators passing by, the army commander quickly shouted, "I am Lin Liangcai, the Zhenhai Army of the Liang Kingdom! This demon intends to attack the city, which will surely cause widespread death and destruction. I implore you two experts to slay this demon, and I will reward you handsomely!"
The man flying on his sword seemed to have heard the general's words. Azure Sword Qi soared into the sky, carrying a vast and mighty Sword Qi, and slashed towards the Hui Serpent.
The snake-child of the Hui Serpent showed a hint of fear and tried to dodge, but it was too late.
The cyan Flying Sword slashed down, cutting the Hui Serpent in two. Purple blood splattered, and the snake's head and tail were still struggling violently. The surrounding soldiers hurriedly took cover.
The man slapped out two palms, his True Qi transforming into flames that incinerated the Hui Serpent's corpse.
A golden pill flew out and was caught in the man's hand.
The mortal soldiers, who had been slaughtered by Hui Serpent not long ago, fell silent.
Nascent Soul Realm Hui Serpent was killed so easily and cleanly?
"Thank you so much for your help, sir."
"If not for a master, we would surely have died at the hands of this monster."
The mortal soldiers below all bowed to the passing male and female cultivators.
The two cultivators landed from the sky, their Flying Swords returning to their sheaths.
"I, Lin, repeatedly thank the master for his help... You... you are Qingzhi?"
Lin Liangcai was about to express his gratitude when he was greatly surprised when he saw the appearance of this extraordinary master.
The expert who slew the Hui Serpent was actually an orphan he had adopted before.
"Father, how have you been lately?"
Lin Qingzhi's cultivation reached the Nine Layers of the Nascent Soul Realm, where he encountered a bottleneck. Therefore, he went down the mountain to gain experience and returned to the Liang Kingdom.
"Haha, Father is doing very well. But Qingzhi, you've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."
Lin Liangcai gave Lin Qingzhi a bear hug, then looked at the much-changed Lin Qingzhi with satisfaction.
Lin Qingzhi Immortal Bearing, like a highly accomplished Daoist master.
"When I learned that you had joined the Shushan, I was so excited that I drank with the soldiers for three days and three nights. I never imagined that in just over a decade, your cultivation would be so profound. I remember that Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could become Elder in the Shushan. I wonder what level of the Nascent Soul Realm you are at now, Qingzhi?"
"Nine Layers."
"My son's cultivation level is so high!"
Lin Liangcai was dumbfounded. Was this still the same Lin Qingzhi who had no cultivation at all back then?
Lin Qingzhi was originally of mediocre talent, so Lin Liangcai arranged for him to be the attendant of the Third Prince, hoping that he might have a chance to become a minister of the Liang Kingdom.
Unexpectedly, Lin Qingzhi was accepted as a disciple by an Elder of Shushan during the Shushan Apprentice-Selection Ceremony thirteen years ago.
Now that Lin Qingzhi has returned, he has reached the Nine Layers of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Lin Liangcai was Rogue Cultivator, and he knew what the Nine Layers of the Nascent Soul Realm meant.
Lin Liangcai's men were also stunned.
Their general's adopted son from many years ago has now become Shushan Elder at the Nine Layers of the Nascent Soul Realm, a peerless master!
Congratulations, General.
"Since the general's son is an unparalleled master, no prince or nobleman will dare to raise their voice at the general from now on."
"Hahaha, men, withdraw the troops and return to camp! Reward the army!" Lin Liangcai was in high spirits. "Qingzhi, let's have a good drink together. Yi? Could this lady be our Lin family's daughter-in-law?"
Lin Liangcai noticed Chen Yao, who appeared with Lin Qingzhi.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she shook her head in denial. "I'm just his Senior Sister."
"Qingzhi, since you've made the rare trip back to the Liang Kingdom, I plan to take you back to the Lin residence to visit your mother. What are your Senior Sister's plans for this?"
Having lived for decades, Lin Liangcai realized that Chen Yao had feelings for his son, so he instructed Lin Qingzhi to take Chen Yao to the Lin residence for a temporary stay.
"Why don't you come with me to the Lin residence, Senior Sister? Our Lin residence is quite large."
"Um."
Chen Yao accepted Lin Qingzhi's invitation.
When Lin Qingzhi went down the mountain for training, Chen Yao knew that Lin Qingzhi still had something on his mind and had not yet broken through to the Dao Palace Realm, so she specially accompanied Lin Qingzhi down the mountain.
Lin Liangcai whispered to Lin Qingzhi, "If your mother knew you brought back a fairy maiden from Shushan, she would be overjoyed. She's always worried about you being all alone."
Lin Qingzhi and Chen Yao stayed at the Lin residence in the Liang Kingdom for ten days.
For the past ten days, Lin Qingzhi has not cultivated; he has simply lived the life of an ordinary person, as if he had returned to his childhood.
The Lin residence was bustling with activity after Lin Qingzhi's return.
Chen Yao was treated as the young mistress and experienced the life of an ordinary person with Lin Qingzhi.
Ten days later, Lin Qingzhi left behind a bag of Medicinal Pills and bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Lin Household.
The Lin Household couple Yiyi, and Mrs. Lin, with tears streaming down her face, sobbed in Lin Liangcai's arms.
Lin Liangcai stroked his wife's hair and sighed helplessly, "Qingzhi has grown up and embarked on the path of immortality. He is destined to be different from us mortals. We should let go. As long as Qingzhi is doing well, we will have no regrets."
After leaving the Lin residence, Chen Yao continued her training with Lin Qingzhi. This time, Chen Yao noticed a subtle change in Lin Qingzhi's aura.
"Junior brother, have you let go of your worries?"
"Yes, I plan to go into seclusion for ten days to try and break through to the Dao Palace Realm."
Having completed a mental transformation and solidified his resolve in the Dao, Lin Qingzhi began his seclusion.
