C25 (1/2)
Silence, a deathly silence, and no one saying a word anymore. Everyone was staring at the crystal in the youth's hand with eyes filled with fear.
Lian Chengyu also looked at Hong Ling in shock at this moment. Everyone knew, with a purple talent, even if it was in the entire Great Chu Empire, there definitely wouldn't be many people with a purple talent.
”Young City Lord, please allow me to speak!” Hong Ling said to Lian Chengyu.
Lian Chengyu nodded and followed Hong Ling onto the ice bridge. The man walked to the center of the bridge and gave him the crystal ball apologetically. Lian Chengyu was startled.
was stunned. He had thought that Hong Ling would make some demands of him, but he didn't expect that he would just return the crystal ball to him.
Just as Lian Chengyu was about to put it back into his spatial ring, suddenly, that crystal made a snapping sound. His expression instantly changed as he looked at Hong Ling with shock.
The crystal ball was broken, it was an alchemy product that he bought with a lot of money, but that was not the important point, the important point was, the hardness of the crystal ball was extremely high, even with Lian Chengyu's current strength, he could not shatter it, so the only explanation was that there was a problem during the talent test.
”Hiss!” Lian Chengyu gasped, ”Sir Hong Ling, your talent, your talent, could it be that it has already exceeded the limit of what this crystal ball can test?!”
Hong Ling nodded his head, his eyes full of smiles.
I hope that Young City Lord can keep this a secret. After all, the clan elders do not wish for me to reveal too much of my talent.
The youth made up some nonsense, causing Lian Chengyu to be startled. The way he looked at Hong Ling changed completely, as he nodded his head in panic.
Lian Chengyu knew that as Hong Ling's talent was leaked, the youth in front of him was already an existence that he couldn't afford to offend. Of course, being unable to offend him didn't mean that he couldn't befriend him.
”Sir Hong Ling, I wonder if you would be interested in coming to my Heavenly Desolate Martial Meet to play?” Lian Chengyu's tone was trembling, but it seemed as though he was looking forward to it, as he became heavier and heavier.
A Unique Aristocrat with a talent that might have surpassed the seventh stage, if he was truly able to represent his City Lord's Mansion and participate in the Heavenly Desolate Martial Conference, even if his cultivation was a little low, it would still be an earth-shattering good thing for Lian Chengyu.
Hong Ling nodded his head. After he saw the Desolate Heavenly Pellet, he had already had the intention to participate in the Martial Arts Competition, and now that Lian Chengyu had invited him to represent City Lord's Mansion, he naturally wanted to participate.
”Alright, since that's the case, these two Heaven Desolate Qi Pills will be available soon. I hope that after three days, the young master can represent my City Lord's Mansion and fight against the disciples of the three great families!”
Lian Chengyu immediately took out two jade bottles from his spatial ring and handed them over to Hong Ling, without mentioning any other conditions.
He had thought that he would still have to defeat a cultivator in the middle stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi in order to pass. He never expected that Lian Chengyu would directly give him a spot and even give him two Qi Transformation Pills.
When Hong Ling and Lian Chengyu took their seats again, the looks in the eyes of the crowd had changed. Everyone knew what it meant to be a youth with a talent at the seventh level; as long as he did not die in the future, his achievements were not something people like them could compare to.
The difference between the nine levels wasn't something that could be made up by other external forces.
”Everyone, I, Lian Chengyu, solemnly announce that Sir Hong Ling will represent my Tianhuang City and will participate in the Heavenly Desolate Martial Conference. As for the remaining candidates, I will give them four more slots.
At this time, Lian Chengyu was not worried at all that these people would leave the City Lord's Mansion and join the Three Great Families. With Hong Ling, a Unique Aristocrat with a talent at the seventh level, if these people still wanted to join the Three Great Families, then there must be something wrong with their heads.
As for the three great clans, even if they obtained the top position in the Martial Competition this time, they would not have any influence on the current City Lord's Mansion, and would not be able to do anything to the cultivators with seven levels of cultivation Inherent Skills.
They naturally had no objections to Hong Ling taking away a spot for himself. After all, he was a youth with a seventh stage Inherent Skill and his future was limitless, so they did not dare to casually provoke him and cause him displeasure.
One had to know, Hong Ling's follower, Canfeng, was a powerful Qi Refinement into Spirit cultivator, and he possessed a Bloodline Inherent Skill. No one was sure if he also had a strong bloodline talent, but there was a high chance of that happening.
In addition to talent, it was also important for the youth to have a strong foundation in order to tame a bloodline cultivator who was one stage higher than himself.
Hong Ling did not continue watching the competition for the spots. To him, taking the Desolate Heaven Transforming Qi Pill was the most important thing, and once he broke through to the middle stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi, then these people, even Lian Chengyu, who was a maid at the great circle of the Essence Refinement into Qi, would not be his match.
Lian Chengyu could not stop him. As matters stood, even if Hong Ling's cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi, he did not have high hopes for the young man's achievement in the Heavenly Desolate Martial Meet.
The strongest practitioner who represented the three great families this time had reached the great perfection of the Essence Refinement into Qi. Even if Hong Ling broke through to the middle stage of the Essence Refinement into Qi, at most, he could only contend against late stage Essence Refinement into Qi cultivators.
In the face of absolute strength, talent could only determine one's future achievements. It could not represent one's current battle prowess.
Hong Ling naturally did not guess at Lian Chengyu's thoughts, but he knew that this person did not think highly of him. This young city lord only wanted him to display his talent to his heart's content during the Heavenly Desolate Martial Meet, and to suppress the arrogance of the three great families.
As for the real fight, they still had to rely on the strongest fighting force sent out by the City Lord's Mansion. These rogue cultivators, they only wanted to show off to the people outside and let everyone know that they only had to rely on the majority of the rogue cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion.
As for the Desolate Heaven Transforming Qi Pills that he gave away, one reason was to create a good impression of people in the future when recruiting talent for City Lord's Mansion, and another reason was to raise the cultivation of the loose cultivators in the City Lord's Mansion team by a level. When facing off against the disciples of the three great families, they wouldn't lose so badly.
Hong Ling sat on the soft bed in the top class room of the Desolate Sky Restaurant. He casually grabbed a broken jade bottle, took out the Desolate Heaven Transforming Qi Pill and threw it into his mouth.
The pill dissolved when it entered his mouth, and before he could react, the immense medicinal power exploded in his body. The young man's expression instantly changed as he quickly activated his mystical technique to dissolve the berserk medicinal effect.
The medicinal power of the Desolate Heaven Transforming Qi Pill was incomparably enormous, but for a monstrous genius like Hong Ling, it wasn't too much of a burden. His body was already incomparably strong, and with the profound mysteries of the Jiuzhuan Profound Technique that he had personally cultivated, he naturally wouldn't feel distressed just because of the immense medicinal power.
