Otherwise, should I fly slower in the sky?

Looking at the two boxes in his hands, Jing Pu sighed helplessly and turned into the courtyard.

Jing Pu planned to return these shoes when he had free time, and also explain to Ling Ju that he really didn't know anything.

After returning, Jing Pu put away Ling Ju's shoes and went to the study to make his shopping list. Jing Pu also ate the small snacks Ling Ju gave him, and they were really good.

They were quite delicious. Jing Pu really didn't expect that Ling Ju, who looked like a high and mighty fairy, could actually make such things.

The next morning, after another round of Ling Jing's hoarse shouting, Jing Pu opened the door to find Ling Ju and the other two standing outside.

Ling Ju was even more shy today than yesterday, standing behind the other two, lowering her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

After bringing the three of them in, Ling Jing excitedly looked at Jing Pu and said:

"Senior, what should we do next?"

Jing Pu pointed to the courtyard and said, "You guys continue to compact the ground here. I have something to do today and will be out. I'll be back in the evening."

Ling Jing and Lie Chun had no objections and immediately nodded, preparing to get the tools from yesterday. As for Ling Ju, she lowered her head, her face flushed red, and came before Jing Pu, her voice barely audible:

"Senior..."

Seeing Ling Ju like this, Jing Pu looked embarrassed. This... it was all Ling Jing's fault, that fool. Jing Pu had to explain this matter clearly to Ling Ju.

Otherwise, he would really become a pervert.

However, Lie Chun was still here. Jing Pu absolutely would not let anyone know about the shoes. Jing Pu immediately said:

"Um... I'm going to Qinghe Town today to buy some things. Do you want to come along? We can be back by evening. Mainly... I have some things I want to say to you."

Ling Ju was stunned. She looked up at Jing Pu, then her exquisite face turned away, blushing slightly as she nodded.

Jing Pu looked at Ling Ju's appearance with some helplessness. He had to explain clearly quickly...

Jing Pu immediately took Ling Ju to the backyard. As they passed Ling Jing and Lie Chun, Ling Jing stood with her hands on her hips, looking satisfied, thinking to herself that she was truly a little genius.

Upon arriving at the backyard, Ling Ju was stunned by everything there. The Spiritual Power and True Qi here were extremely abundant. The Spiritual Power and True Qi contained here were hundreds of times more potent than any immortal blessed land Ling Ju had ever seen.

And all this Spiritual Power and True Qi were emitted by these seemingly ordinary plants in the backyard.

However, Ling Ju dared not enter. Ling Jing had explained a lot to her before, and there was one thing Ling Ju remembered very clearly: Ling Jing said that Senior did not allow others to go into the backyard. For a moment, Ling Ju stood at the entrance of the backyard, unsure whether to go in or retreat.

Jing Pu, who was walking ahead, suddenly turned back and looked at Ling Ju, who was standing at the entrance, and asked strangely:

"Aren't you coming in?"

Ling Ju looked at Jing Pu, flustered, and said:

"Ling Jing said... Senior, you don't allow others to enter the courtyard..."

Hearing this, Jing Pu smiled helplessly and said, "You're not just anyone. Come in."

Jing Pu said this mainly because during those days, Ling Jing and Lie Chun had been carrying hoes and digging everywhere. At that time, Jing Pu had just planted seeds in the backyard, and he was afraid that these two would run in and dig up his backyard, so he had said that sentence very seriously.

After Jing Pu said this, the already flustered Ling Ju seemed even more flustered, her mind filled with thoughts about what Jing Pu's "You're not just anyone" meant.

Seeing that Ling Ju was just standing at the entrance and not coming in, Jing Pu didn't say anything else. He immediately went to get the horse, planning to explain to Ling Ju on the way.

Half a minute later, Jing Pu came out with the imposing Dragon Horse. Jing Pu found that this Dragon Horse was becoming more and more like a Dragon. At some point, it had even grown dragon whiskers next to its nose.

The Ling Ju, who had been lost in thought, was immediately captivated upon seeing the Dragon Horse.

Is... is it a Primal Beast... No... it's almost become a Spirit Beast!

On the Lower Realm Continent, mounts for cultivators are generally divided into five types. The first type is the most common, like the Jade Horse of the Divine Sword Sect, which is the most common.

Above that is the Primal Beast, a mount that only Elders of sects are qualified to ride. Above that is the Spirit Beast, which only clan leaders are qualified to have.

Above that are the Sacred Beast and Immortal Beast. Ling Ju's father, the Emperor, and her Master both have Sacred Beast mounts. As for Immortal Beasts, there are only five people on the Lower Realm Continent who possess Immortal Beast mounts.

Ling Ju was not surprised that Jing Pu had a mount that was close to becoming a Spirit Beast. After all, with Senior's strength, even an Immortal Beast would be nothing.

However, on this Dragon Horse, which was close to becoming a Spirit Beast, the saddle was still the ordinary saddle from the Divine Sword Sect. This meant that this Dragon Horse was previously the most ordinary Jade Horse of the Divine Sword Sect.

Ling Ju knew that Jing Pu had only arrived at the Divine Sword Sect one day before her, which was about a week ago.

In one week, Senior was able to transform an ordinary mount into one that was close to becoming a Spirit Beast?!!

Ling Ju knew how difficult it was for ordinary mounts to advance, comparable to the difficulty of cultivators advancing their realms, and even more difficult.

Take her own Wind Spirit Beast, for example. It was originally a very ordinary Griffin. When it was about to die at a hundred years old, it suddenly gained enlightenment and its bloodline advanced, becoming a Wind Spirit Beast, a Primal Beast.

However, Ling Ju quickly reacted. After all, in such an immortal blessed land with abundant Spiritual Power and True Qi, even an ordinary domestic pig would probably have its bloodline advanced.

Still, the appearance of the Dragon Horse was truly beautiful. Its snow-white scales shimmered with gold under the morning sun.

Ling Ju really didn't know what bloodline the Dragon Horse had advanced to or in what direction it was evolving. After all, ordinary mounts gained enlightenment from different heavenly secrets, and their evolutionary directions and appearances were also different.

But looking at the Dragon Horse's appearance, and being Senior's mount, even if Ling Ju didn't know for sure, she understood that it couldn't be ordinary.

Ling Ju somewhat forgot about what had happened before and, with a look of admiration, reached out her jade-like hand to stroke the scales on the Dragon Horse's body.

The Dragon Horse was also intelligent and allowed Ling Ju to stroke it.

Jing Pu, standing beside her, watched Ling Ju stroke the Dragon Horse for a while and then said with a smile:

"Shall we go then?"

Ling Ju, snapping back to attention, blushed again and nodded slightly. Then, a ball of green light suddenly appeared in her hand, and she softly called out to her Wind Spirit Beast.

After calling out twice, Ling Ju looked at Jing Pu beside her in astonishment and said:

"My... Wind Spirit Beast is scared..."

Scared?

What did that mean?

Jing Pu didn't quite understand. He wasn't familiar with these matters. Ling Ju called out to her Wind Spirit Beast again softly, but there was still no reaction. Ling Ju looked at the incredibly beautiful Dragon Horse beside her in astonishment.

This... Senior's Dragon Horse... what kind of bloodline did it possess... Her Wind Spirit Beast's bloodline was already quite high. Even if the Senior's Dragon Horse bloodline was an extremely powerful one, it shouldn't be... so terrifying that it wouldn't dare to come out at all, right?

Jing Pu paused for a moment before suddenly saying:

"Then why don't you just fly on your sword? Qinghe Town isn't far anyway, it'll only take an hour or two."

As he said this, Ling Ju shook her head with some difficulty.

"I... I don't have a Flying Sword... Besides, riding a Flying Sword with my feet is ungraceful..."

Riding a Flying Sword with your feet is ungraceful?

Jing Pu heard this for the first time. He thought riding a Flying Sword with your feet looked pretty cool.

However, Jing Pu immediately raised an eyebrow and asked:

"Then you should be able to fly directly, right?"

Jing Pu wasn't sure of Ling Ju's cultivation level, but he felt she was likely very powerful. She should be able to fly directly through the air, right?

Ling Ju shook her head again.

"To fly through the air... one must reach the Nascent Soul stage... I'm only at the late Golden Core stage... not yet Nascent Soul..."

After saying this, Ling Ju suddenly seemed to realize something and her face flushed with embarrassment. She didn't dare to look at Jing Pu anymore.

Jing Pu nodded seriously. She couldn't fly... and couldn't ride a Flying Sword... her mount wouldn't come out... Then... right!

Jing Pu immediately looked at Ling Ju, whose face was flushed red, and said seriously:

"Then how about you run below, and I'll fly slowly in the sky and wait for you?"

Ling Ju: "Huh???"
