Guiding the Way

Looking at Lin Qishuang, who was deep in thought on the screen, Lin Xiao said impatiently, "What, don't you want revenge? If I hadn't arrived in time, you would be dead by now."

Sensing the impatience in Lin Xiao's tone, Lin Qishuang was immediately startled and quickly replied:

"Senior, you misunderstand. I... of course I want revenge, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that I'm not strong enough, and the Lingtian Sword Sect has a large and powerful force..."

As she finished speaking, Lin Qishuang's tone became somber again.

"Insufficient strength, but numerous enough?"

Lin Xiao's tone suddenly turned colder, carrying a hint of disappointment and frustration.

Lin Qishuang trembled, lowered her head even further, and clenched her fingers slightly.

Strangely enough, throughout her life, she was decisive and ruthless, and never afraid of death.

But in front of this mysterious senior, even the courage to raise one's head was somewhat diminished.

"In front of me, lack of strength is never an excuse."

In the void, Lin Xiao's voice rang out again, steady and domineering: "You lack cultivation, so I will give you cultivation. You lack divine weapons, so I will give you divine weapons."

You lack the means for revenge, so I will personally elevate you to a level sufficient to crush the Lingtian Sword Sect!

Lin Qishuang looked up abruptly, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and disbelief, asking, "Senior... are you serious?"

"When have I ever lied to you?" Lin Xiao said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qishuang couldn't help but feel secretly ashamed.

Yes, how could such a wise and accomplished person as the predecessor deceive himself?

Seeing Lin Qishuang remain silent with her head down, Lin Xiao thought for a moment and then asked, "How has your cultivation recovered?"

Upon hearing the question, Lin Qishuang finally realized that something was wrong.

She hasn't checked her body since she woke up.

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's mention of it, Lin Qishuang immediately closed her eyes to sense her own condition.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao did not urge him.

Soon, Lin Qishuang opened her eyes again, looking at the void with surprise and excitement, and said:

"Senior, weren't I on the verge of death? How come my cultivation has improved and I've recovered to the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment realm?"

In the real world, Lin Xiao was also secretly surprised when he saw Lin Qishuang looking up excitedly on the screen.

Unexpectedly, the effects of this Rejuvenating Pill were so good.

Not only did it restore Lin Qishuang, who was on the verge of death, to normal, it even helped her completely recover her Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivation.

In this way, once she breaks through to the Golden Core stage, Lin Qishuang's strength should be enough to take revenge herself.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao deliberately adopted a calm tone and said, "Since your cultivation has recovered to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, then I will assist you in breaking through to the Golden Core Realm!"

"Breaking through to the Golden Core stage?!" Upon hearing this, Lin Qishuang couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Seeing Lin Qishuang's surprised expression, Lin Xiao frowned slightly and transmitted his voice, "What? You're unwilling?"

"But……"

Lin Qishuang recalled the words she had heard when she wanted to break through her limits, and hesitated.

Lin Xiao sensed something was wrong and quickly asked, "What's wrong? Is there something you're worried about?"

Lin Qishuang hesitated slightly, thought for a moment, and then voiced her concerns.

"Senior, back in the Lingtian Sword Sect, I also tried to break through to the Golden Core Realm. But Master..."

At this point, Lin Qishuang paused slightly, as if recalling something from the past, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao did not urge him, but waited for the details to be explained.

After a long pause, Lin Qishuang snapped out of her reverie and continued:

"Master Xuanling said that breaking through to the Golden Core stage is not easy, and I should only attempt it when I am absolutely certain of success; otherwise, I will surely die and my cultivation will be extinguished!"

"fart!"

Even though Lin Xiao was prepared, he still couldn't help but swear after hearing Lin Qishuang's words.

"senior?!"

Upon suddenly hearing such vulgar language, Lin Qishuang was momentarily stunned, almost thinking she had misheard.

Seeing Lin Qishuang stunned by his swearing, Lin Xiao quickly coughed twice and said:

"That old thief Xuanling clearly wants to suppress you, not wanting your strength to surpass his, so he can squeeze every last bit of value out of you!"

"This..." Upon hearing this, Lin Qishuang fell into deep thought again, recalling the various events that had occurred at the Lingtian Sword Sect.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that what the wise elders said makes sense.

Seeing Lin Qishuang's eyes growing brighter, Lin Xiao pondered for a moment before speaking again:

"Besides, the Golden Elixir Path is about defying fate, so how can there be any guarantee of success?"

We cultivators should forge ahead bravely. How can we shrink back because of a few words from others? To do so would be to ruin our future!

Lin Qishuang's body trembled, and the confusion in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a bright and enlightened light.

Throughout her life, she was bound by sect, teachers, and rules.

Despite his unparalleled talent, he was firmly held back at the Foundation Establishment stage by the phrase "you need to be absolutely certain," and dared not cross the line.

Only today, after being enlightened by a senior's words, did she realize how terribly wrong she had been!

"Your advice is correct..."

Lin Qishuang lowered her head deeply, her voice tinged with remorse.

"It was because I was trapped by pointless old ideas that I almost went astray from the great path."

"Now that you understand, it's good. It's not too late to break through!"

Lin Xiao snorted coldly, already cursing Xuanling Zhenren and Lingtian Sword Sect in his heart.

For one's own selfish gain, one delays the path of others!

After they have squeezed all the value out of others, they will not hesitate to take their lives!

This really is a case of gratitude for a small favor, but resentment for a large one!

Decades of effort have only resulted in raising such a bunch of ungrateful bastards!

The people of the Lingtian Sword Sect are all utterly deserving of death.

Just as Lin Xiao was lost in thought, Lin Qishuang in the game had a bright look in her eyes, her mind clearer than ever before.

Taking a deep breath, she banished all past distractions from her mind, then clasped her hands together and sincerely said:

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I will do my utmost to break through this barrier and fight against fate to repay your kindness!"

Lin Qishuang bowed respectfully, her previously dim eyes now shining with an astonishing brightness.

His sword intent was re-condensed, sharper than ever before.

"In that case, you should make preparations first. When you break through to the Golden Core stage, I will personally protect you. Even if it's the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning, I will ensure your safety!"

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, he deliberately left a few unfathomable silences.

Her fingertips were already swiping rapidly across the real-world phone screen, directly tapping the golden dot above Lin Qishuang's head.

[Ding: Lin Qishuang has reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and is ready to break through to the Golden Core Realm!]

Would the host prefer to break through immediately?

Yes or no?
