Zhong Lingxin frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Master, let me think about it some more. I'll tell you and Uncle Xuanyuan when I've made up my mind."
Qingyang Zunsheng nodded.
Zhong Lingxin silently withdrew.
Xuan Yuan said anxiously, "Aren't you worried at all? She's just a little girl, and there are six of them, each of them is higher level than her, including some Foundation Establishment cultivators. They could crush her with a single finger."
Qingyang Venerable Saint lowered his eyelids: "She will have to face the future alone. Now that we are watching over her, we won't let anything happen to her. Let her practice on her own. These next few days, as long as she leaves the back mountain, you follow her with your divine sense."
Xuan Yuan slumped his shoulders and said sullenly, "Well, sometimes I really wish she were like that Qu Xin, with ten or twenty servants following her everywhere she goes, and she could get whatever she wanted just by glancing at it."
Qingyang Venerable Saint's eyes turned cold: "That Qu Xin is courting death. I heard she said she would humiliate my disciple to death!"
Xuan Yuan sneered: "Her? If she pushes us too far, I'll wipe out her entire Qu family!"
And her mother.
Xiaoxin'er is right. It's just a mount, yet it acts all high and mighty, and even has the nerve to send people to deliver this and that to Qu Xin all the time.
"How could Yu Wuqing tolerate her acting so recklessly? It's just making her look bad."
A smile appeared in Qingyang Zunsheng's eyes: "Yu Wuqing is a smart woman. She is eager to ascend to immortality, but she has no choice but to marry Feng Yu to protect her family's interests. It's enough for everyone to maintain a superficial marital relationship. As long as Feng Yu doesn't cause too much trouble, Yu Wuqing won't say anything."
Xuan Yuan curled his lip: "That Feng Yu is also clueless. His family went to so much trouble to get him into the Law Enforcement Association as the president, but he got his mount in as the presiding judge. I think that mount of his is probably because Yu Wuqing has been too lazy to deal with her all these years, and she's got too much on her own!"
Qingyang Zunsheng continued brewing tea, too lazy to concern himself with other people's gossip.
Xuan Yuan continued, "Zi Chen, Qu Xin is acting like a madwoman, spreading rumors everywhere that she wants to kill Xiao Xin'er. You should be more careful."
I've seen that the mount sent so many people, it must know about this matter. Maybe Feng Yu knows about it too.
"You've kept a low profile for so many years, has Feng Yu forgotten how to take a beating, or does he want to die?"
Qingyang Zunsheng paused.
If Feng Yu and Qu Yao don't interfere in the affairs of the younger generation, he naturally has no worries about his little disciple.
If Feng Yu and Qu Yao get involved, the little disciple might really encounter danger when he goes out to train.
Even if others were trying to curry favor with Feng Yu and Qu Yao, they would still target his disciple.
Putting everything else aside, there's a group of servants following Qu Xin, some of whom are Nascent Soul stage cultivators. My little disciple has no chance against them; a single wave of pressure could crush her into mincemeat.
It seems I need to give Feng Yu a heads-up.
Xuan Yuan and Qingyang Venerable Saint were of one mind. Seeing that Qingyang Venerable Saint had thought of this, he sat down with peace of mind and continued drinking tea.
Xiao Xiao'er, you've been by their side for six years.
Such a bright and clever child.
Over the years, it has always brought him great comfort.
He couldn't bear to see the child suffer, not even a single hair on his head!
Zhong Lingxin, who had returned to the left wing, was unaware of the discussion between her master and Master Xuanyuan by the Jade Lotus Pond.
She was taking out all her magical weapons, thinking about how to deal with the people who wanted to rob her.
She has quite a few talismans, all given to her by her master and Uncle Xuanyuan.
Especially Uncle Xuan Yuan, who specially drew many second and third grade talismans for her so that they would be useful to her, including explosion talismans, invisibility talismans, Vajra talismans, blazing fire talismans, and boulder talismans... you name it.
If necessary, she could kill them with these talismans.
There's also the array plate; my master is a grandmaster of array formations, something few people know.
Her master gave her dozens of eighth and ninth-grade array plates, including defensive arrays, trapping arrays, killing arrays, illusion arrays, and so on.
Next were the pills, all of which she refined herself. The highest grade she could reach was third rank, but their quality was poor; in her master's words, they were useless pills. However, she believed that a pill was good as long as it was usable, and its quality didn't matter. Most of these pills were spirit-replenishing pills, injury-healing pills, and blood-replenishing pills, which were not very useful in combat.
Finally, there were the magical artifacts. Together with Uncle Xuanyuan, she crafted a black pouch and a brick. The black pouch could isolate divine sense. Unfortunately, there were six of them, and she only had one black pouch, which couldn't hold them all, a bit of a pity.
Then there are some robes. These robes are all of a relatively high level. These days she has to wear these robes under her clothes so that she doesn't get beaten up before she can hit anyone else, which would be a huge loss.
Thanks to her experience in the Four Seasons Formation, she is now extremely resilient.
In Uncle Xuan Yuan's words, she was incredibly resilient. With her Qi Refining Level 8 cultivation, she could withstand the wind, thunder, water, and fire of the early Foundation Establishment stage within the Four Seasons Formation, and she wouldn't die even if she was hit by a boulder twice.
Therefore, she seriously suspected that she had undergone physical training, or even physical cultivation.
Finally, her gaze settled on the jade slip of "Silent God".
Perfect timing, she was planning to learn sound attacks.
In the initial learning stage, she should just sit there and play obediently.
She made a decision: to lure a few small pieces of trash into the trap and let them enjoy her musical service.
Thinking of this, Zhong Lingxin quickly put the "Silent Soul" book on her forehead.
A series of musical notes flowed down his forehead and into his mind.
These musical notes swirled in my consciousness, and finally, disappeared into the depths of my consciousness.
Zhong Lingxin was overjoyed and, with a thought, summoned the Phoenix Zither.
With a gentle pluck of the strings, a clear and melodious sound emanated from the left wing.
The Soul-Souling Technique is divided into three stages. The initial stage is Soul Sleep, which simply means putting a person into a deep sleep. The intermediate stage is Soul Illusion, which causes various hallucinations and eventually disrupts a person's consciousness, essentially driving them insane. The advanced stage is Soul Annihilation, which is easy to understand; it means causing a person's soul to dissipate.
Each stage is further divided into three sub-stages.
Zhong Lingxin is currently at the eighth level of Qi Refining and can learn the first minor stage of Soul Sleep.
Once she has established her foundation, she can learn the second minor stage.
Perhaps because Zhong Lingxin had a musical background, she learned very quickly.
The musical notes that entered her mind flowed naturally from her fingertips and played on the phoenix zither.
The Phoenix Zither seemed to sense Zhong Lingxin's playing, its strings trembling slightly in response.
As musical notes drifted out, the entire air seemed to become languid.
Qingyang Zunsheng and Xuanyuan, who were drinking tea, both looked up at the left wing.
Xuan Yuan praised, "The Phoenix Zither seems to be rooted in Xiao Xin'er's heart; it has an effect as soon as she plays it."
Qingyang Zunsheng nodded and continued drinking his tea.
Zhong Lingxin found herself playing more and more skillfully, feeling as if she had returned to Pingchuan City and was playing the guqin at home.
When she was about to leave the sect, her mother was reluctant to part with her and wanted her to bring her guqin with her.
Her father stopped her, saying that she hadn't even joined the sect yet, and that bringing Zhang Qin would be too conspicuous.
For a junior disciple with no connections or background, it's better to keep a low profile.
