Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator

Chapter 159 Late Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator

Xin Ruyin could not refuse Lu Jianghe's decision and finally accepted the restriction token.

From then on, for four or five hundred years, she was the undisputed master of this cave.

In addition, that small shop, if the opportunity arises, could also have Zhuang Huayi, a protector who is both a teacher and a friend.

With dedicated cultivation, the probability of achieving Nascent Soul formation is likely to be around 30% to 40%.

After giving away the cave dwelling token, Lu Jianghe was truly ready to get up and leave.

He moved slightly, took one step, and after two steps, his figure blurred in the corridor of the Xieshan Pavilion.

Seeing Lu Jianghe leave, Han Li felt it was inappropriate to stay any longer, and hurriedly bowed to everyone in the pavilion to say goodbye.

Only four women remained in the pavilion at that moment.

The atmosphere instantly became somewhat subtle and quiet. Just now, when Lu Jianghe was there, there was still an invisible central connection, but now that he had suddenly left, it was as if some key had been removed, leaving the four of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

It seemed as if endless words were swirling in my mind, yet I didn't know where to begin, and for a moment I fell into silence.

Zhuang Huayi sat upright to one side, her expression calm and composed, but she felt a slight sense of emotion in her heart.

Yuan Yao happened to be managing that small shop these past few days.

If she were here now, there would be five women in this pavilion.

As the saying goes, two women make a drama, let alone four or five women with different thoughts and ideas gathered together.

However, most of the time, everyone's attention still involuntarily fell on Zi Ling.

But she sat upright as usual, her back straight, her beautiful eyes sweeping around, her demeanor calm and dignified, very much like the posture of an "empress".

After a short while, Zi Ling prepared to take her leave.

Before leaving, she specifically explained the reasons for the previous two visits to Yan Ruyan and Xin Ruyin in detail.

His words were completely unembellished, and he frankly admitted his own mistakes, explaining them clearly.

The two of them naturally didn't say anything, only that everything was fine and they would visit Miaoyin Sect again when they had time in the future.

After leaving the fiftieth level of the cave, Zi Ling did not immediately return to the Miaoyin Sect.

Instead, they went to the temple.

The matter of Scorpion Island must have already reached Jin Kui's ears.

Decades ago, she had been uttering strange words, but only now did she realize that the root of the problem lay here.

I never saw through it at all back then.

Looking back now, Zi Ling realizes how ridiculous her so-called "little temper" and grievances were back then.

Upon arriving at the temple, Jin Kui was indeed already waiting inside, as if he had known she would come.

Jin Kui turned around, his gaze falling on her, and spoke first: "How are you feeling?"

Zi Ling's posture was respectful, yet without the slightest hint of humility. "In the end, man's plans are no match for God's. No matter how much you scheme or plot, in the end, it all depends on fate."

Jin Kui chuckled softly, his laughter echoing in the empty hall, tinged with amusement.

"I thought that with such a great support you've gained this time, you'd feel quite proud, perhaps even—"

"I didn't expect you to be so clear-headed, even if I said something different to this old man."

Zi Ling immediately shook her head, "This humble woman would never dare to do that. Senior Lu's existence is also a matter of chance for me. Furthermore, external objects and forces are ultimately just external objects and forces. No matter when or where, the foundation of a cultivator's existence is ultimately their own cultivation. I have never dared to forget the teachings of the Grand Elder."

Jin Kui smiled.

Whether a person has confidence or not can be discerned simply from the weight of their words.

This girl now has something to rely on. Although she tries her best to keep it hidden, the confidence that is quietly growing in front of an old monster like him cannot be faked.

I never expected that person would suddenly lend a helping hand.

The sword strike on Scorpion Island has now spread far and wide among high-level cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea.

Although the Star Palace intended to suppress and block the news, how could such an earth-shattering event as a Nascent Soul expert annihilating the divided soul of the Extreme Yin Ancestor, the Crimson Fire Old Monster, and the Hidden Fiend Sect Master with a single sword strike truly be kept secret?

Although his exact level is unknown, it is certain that he has reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Now it seems—heh, there's no need to rush things regarding the Myriad Sounds Sect.

Since Zi Ling has gained that person's favor, then the Miaoyin Sect will not make any moves for now.

As long as the foundation remains intact, the overall pattern of this chaotic starry sea will ultimately be determined by the star palace.

As for the resources and authority of the Miaoyin Sect, they are merely pawns on the chessboard. Let's put them aside for now, observe the situation, and make a decision later.

"Alright, alright, no need to fawn over this old man."

Jin Kui waved his hand.

"However, I must remind you that what cultivators seek is nothing more than resources and cultivation level. If he can sincerely be your support and not covet the foundation of your Wonderful Sound Sect, even if it is just a fleeting romance, it will be an immense blessing for you."

Zi Ling remained unfazed, as if the explicit implications in Jin Kui's words had not touched her heart in the slightest.

She simply lowered her head slightly, gently steer the conversation toward the core issue.

"May I ask, Elder, what exactly is Senior Lu's cultivation level?"

She secretly pondered Lu Jianghe's level of skill.

Mid-stage Nascent Soul?

After all, even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator would not be so "easy to talk to" by Jin Kui in this Tianxing City.

Jin Kui smiled. "Why don't you ask him that to his face?"

Zi Ling lowered her head slightly and said truthfully, "I wouldn't dare."

"Oh."

Jin Kui let out a soft, ambiguous laugh.

"You're quite honest."

Jin Kui spoke again, his tone calm, yet every word struck Zi Ling's heart like a heavy hammer.

"The one you now want to rely on has a cultivation level that even I cannot match."

Zi Ling suddenly looked up.

Jin Kui's next words completely overturned her expectations.

"The Senior Lu you mentioned is a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator."

To his slight surprise, the little girl did not show the great astonishment he had expected after hearing this.

Although he was surprised for a moment, it was far less intense than he had imagined.

Ok?

Such a temperament is even more resilient and calm than many Nascent Soul cultivators upon hearing this matter.

In reality, when a person is no longer just seen as aloof and unapproachable in your mind, but is mixed with other things, everything changes.

Just like Zi Ling at this moment.

For her, he was first and foremost "Lu Jianghe," and only then "Nascent Soul cultivator."

Rather than the person named "Lu Jianghe" under the title of "Nascent Soul Cultivator".

The distinction between primary and secondary matters is that simple.

In truth, Zi Ling's inner shock was far less than it appeared on the surface.

A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Such a person, if not for that inexplicable connection with her, would be far too distant and unattainable for her.

As far as she knew, there were only four Nascent Soul stage cultivators openly known throughout the entire Chaotic Star Sea.

Oh no, now if you include him, there are five.
