Ling Qingzhu

"Great Accomplishment of Shaping Realm!"

Feeling his current strength, Lin Langtian smiled faintly and said with satisfaction.

In truth, he had just had the chance to break through into the Qi Shaping Realm in one go, but cultivating too quickly was not necessarily a good thing. If his foundation became unstable, it would be a tremendous loss.

In less than a month, he had risen from the Grand Perfection of Yuan Dan Realm to the Half-step Qi Shaping Realm. That was already an immense leap; excess was as bad as deficiency.

"This Golden Spirit Wheel Mirror truly is extraordinary..." Recalling that terrifying Devouring Power, Lin Langtian could not help but sigh.

He had finally gotten a taste of protagonist treatment...

After his breakthrough, Lin Langtian did not leave the Clan Treasury immediately. Instead, he remained inside and began consolidating his realm.

Another three days passed. When Lin Langtian opened his eyes again, the powerful aura within his body was finally under his complete control. His entire person seemed to have been stripped of all outward splendor; even a Nirvana Realm expert would be unable to discern his current strength.

"Alright, it's time to go out..." After concealing the aura of his breakthrough, Lin Langtian smiled faintly and murmured to himself.

Half a month ago, he had only broken through to the Minor Accomplishment of Shaping Realm. If people discovered that he had now reached the Great Accomplishment of Shaping Realm, it would inevitably arouse the clan's suspicions.

Although he was currently the strongest of the Lin Clan's Young Generation, and the clan treated him quite well, human sentiment was worthless in the face of profit.

Thus, to prevent such a situation, Lin Langtian had stayed in the Clan Treasury for several more days, specifically to conceal the aura of his breakthrough.

Outside the Clan Treasury, as Lin Langtian emerged from seclusion, the stone doors that had remained shut for over half a month finally rumbled open slowly.

"How was it, Langtian? What grade of Spirit Treasure did you obtain?"

The instant the Clan Treasury's stone doors opened, Lin Zhi and the others hurried forward and spoke to the Young Figure slowly walking out.

"Heh, I did not disappoint. I obtained an Earth-grade Spirit Treasure, the 'Spirit Wheel Mirror.'"

As he mentioned the Spirit Wheel Mirror, Lin Langtian's gaze flickered. Clearly, he had not revealed the unexpected changes that had occurred within.

Naturally, Lin Zhi and the others did not press him for details. Instead, they congratulated him, "Congratulations, Langtian. To wield an Earth-grade Spirit Treasure at such a young age, you are an Outstanding Person even among the Great Yan Empire's Young Generation.

One day, you will surely become the Great Yan Empire's number one Genius."

Lin Langtian merely smiled at Lin Zhi and the others' flattery, not taking it to heart.

What was the Great Yan Empire worth? His ambitions had long since extended beyond it.

However, just as Lin Langtian was about to bid them farewell, Lin Zhi suddenly recalled something and stopped him. "Oh, right, Langtian. There was something I needed to tell you, but when I learned of your breakthrough, I was so delighted that I forgot.

Now that you have spent over half a month in the Clan Treasury, by my reckoning, that person should be arriving soon."

"Oh? Who is it?" Lin Langtian asked in confusion.

"A disciple sent by a Super Sect to the Great Yan Dynasty. Her name seems to be... Ling Qingzhu," Lin Zhi said slowly.

"Ling Qingzhu?"

Hearing that name, Lin Langtian froze for a moment, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

Naturally, he was no stranger to that name. She was the female lead of the Original Timeline, Lin Dong's lover. Not only did she possess a powerful background, but her talent was astonishing as well. She was practically the dream goddess of countless Males.

Lin Langtian searched through the memories in his mind. If nothing unexpected happened, this proud daughter of heaven, Ling Qingzhu, was indeed about to arrive in the Great Yan Empire and, guided by fate, form a connection with Lin Dong...

"Yes. Ling Qingzhu seems to have considerable standing within that Super Sect, and she also maintains certain ties with the Great Yan Empire's Imperial Family. More than half a month ago, the Imperial Family began preparing a welcoming ceremony.

They are even holding a grand auction in the Imperial Capital a month from now specifically to welcome this Super Sect disciple, inviting all the empire's upper echelons. An invitation has been sent to you as well.

If you have time, Langtian, you should pay her a visit. After all, if you successfully pass the Hundred Dynasties War challenge, you will likely join one of those Super Sects too. It would be good to make an early acquaintance with this Super Sect disciple," Lin Zhi suggested.

At this, Lin Langtian frowned slightly, clearly not agreeing with Lin Zhi's view.

Who was Ling Qingzhu? She was the successor to the next Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, a Super Sect. Both her background and talent were exceptional.

In her eyes, the Great Yan Empire was likely as insignificant as dust, while its so-called Geniuses were merely ants with a little talent.

With Lin Langtian's current strength, although he was undoubtedly first-rate within the Great Yan Empire, he was still far from worthy of Ling Qingzhu's notice.

Therefore, Lin Langtian naturally had no intention of fawning over someone who would only give him the cold shoulder, even if that person was Ling Qingzhu.

Still, though he had no interest in attending Ling Qingzhu's welcoming ceremony, Lin Langtian decided to make the trip to the Imperial Capital.

After all, he had quite a few ideas about the auction the Imperial Family was holding.

Since it was an auction specifically organized to welcome Ling Qingzhu, the Imperial Family would surely bring out some of its prized treasures. Otherwise, it would be far too shabby, and they would be unable to present them before a proud daughter of heaven like Ling Qingzhu.

Given such an opportunity, he would go and see whether he could pick up anything useful.

"Mm, thank you for informing me, Elder Lin Zhi. Once I have rested for a while, I will set off for the Imperial Capital," Lin Langtian said, cupping his hands toward Lin Zhi in thanks.

"Heh, no need to be so polite." Lin Zhi smiled and waved his hand.

When Lin Zhi mentioned Ling Qingzhu, Lin Langtian suddenly thought of something and asked him another question.

"Does the clan have any healing pills that can restore someone whose body has been ravaged by Yuan Power, leaving them unable to cultivate?"

"Oh, unable to cultivate because the body was ravaged by Yuan Power?" Lin Zhi was taken aback. After pondering for a moment, he said, "If that person's strength is below the Yuan Dan Realm, the clan's Azure Wood Spirit Pill can help them heal and recover.

But if their strength is above the Yuan Dan Realm, then I'm afraid only the Imperial Family possesses such pills."

"Below the Yuan Dan Realm... the Azure Wood Spirit Pill..."

Lin Langtian murmured softly. Then delight flashed in his eyes. If he remembered correctly, Lin Dong's father, Lin Xiao, was at the Heavenly Yuan Realm and had not exceeded the Yuan Dan Realm.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian said to Lin Zhi again, "I have something to trouble Elder Lin with. Could you help me find someone in the main clan who has close ties with the Lin Family Branch of Yan City?

Please find that person for me, Elder Lin. I need to instruct them to handle something for me."

"The Yan City Branch Family?" Hearing Lin Langtian's strange request, Lin Zhi was startled. He gave the former a surprised glance before nodding.

Though he did not know the reason behind it, since Lin Langtian had given the instruction, as someone from his faction, he naturally would not refuse.

"Alright, leave it to me..."
