iao Jingru reluctantly released her daughter and stood aside. Xiao Yu then pulled out a gold needle and said to Jinxialin, "President Jin, please find some gasoline and a metal basin!""Okay..."Jinxial...Chapter 711: Meeting
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Wang, it's been ten years since we last met. Congratulations on advancing in cultivation!" The old man chuckled after seeing Wang climb up the mountain.
The moment this elderly figure finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Xiao Yu and others were still there, causing him to frown involuntarily as he glanced at them. After all, these matters should not have been something ordinary people ought to know about in the first place.
"Fellow Daoist Wang!"
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xiao, you've truly surprised us old folks!"
When that elder looked at Xiao Yu, he suddenly heard Xiao Yu and Wang greet each other. This unexpected scene left him momentarily stunned; even his cultivation level and temperament could not help but be bewildered.
At this moment, the rest of the elders had also climbed onto the platform. Upon seeing the elderly figure walking out from within the cave standing there, they all greeted him one after another. Once they were done with their greetings to him, they then proceeded to bow and greet Xiao Yu respectfully.
Seeing this, the elder noticed Wang and others greeting Xiao Yu in turn while treating him on equal footing. This situation felt strange to him; after all, from his perspective, Xiao Yu was just an ordinary person. As for Wang and the rest, being among the pinnacle individuals of the Chinese cultivation realm, they naturally possessed a certain sense of pride. To think that even a middle-stage cultivator might have been met with indifference by them, let alone an ordinary person! Therefore, witnessing their respectful treatment towards Xiao Yu left this elder rather puzzled.
Moreover, by the way they addressed him, Xiao Yu clearly seemed to be a cultivator. However, both Xiao Yu and that little girl were thoroughly ordinary people in his eyes, even though Xiao Yu's aura looked quite extraordinary. No matter how good his aura was, it couldn’t change the fact that he was an ordinary person.
The old man was very confident about his cultivation level. In the past, his cultivation might have been mediocre at best, but now he had become the top cultivator in the entire Chinese world of cultivation, and he was confident that no one could deceive him with their eyes. Therefore, when he heard them greet Xiao Yu, he felt quite puzzled.
The old man looked at them curiously as they greeted each other. After they finished greeting, he turned to Wang Xiaozhe and said, "Daoist Brother Wang, this is…"
"Senior Li, this is Daoist Xiao. Don’t let his young age fool you—he has extremely high cultivation!"
"Daoist Xiao, this is Senior Li Qiong. He reached the peak of the Spirit Formation realm seventy years ago!" Upon hearing Li Qiong's question, Wang Xiaozhe quickly introduced them to each other.
"Hello Daoist Li, I'm sorry for disturbing your seclusion."
"Haha, nice to meet you, Daoist Xiao."
Li Qiong lightly smiled and greeted Xiao Yu. Though there was a smile on his face, a hint of confusion could be seen in the depths of his eyes.
Follow Wang Xiong's implication. Xiao Yu is also a cultivator, and judging from the way they treat him, he should be at the same level as Wang Xiong and his companions. This is precisely what puzzles him, given that in his eyes, Xiao Yu appears to be just an ordinary person without any essence energy.
"Greetings, esteemed seniors," after Xiao Yu had exchanged greetings with these elders, Dai Yuxin also bowed respectfully to them.
“Heh heh, hello! Hello!” Upon hearing Dai Yuxin's greeting, the elders did not show any disrespect; they promptly returned her greeting. Although Dai Yuxin was only sixteen or seventeen years old, her master was formidable, and thus these elders could do nothing but treat her politely. After all, Xiao Yu reached the peak of the Condensation Qi stage at around twenty-five years old in his life, and this era had rarely seen anyone reach such a level for nearly a century, so they were extremely courteous even when dealing with Dai Yuxin.
Li Qiong watched them from behind, growing increasingly puzzled. If the elders treated Xiao Yu that way, he could understand; but their attitude toward Dai Yuxin was also this polite and respectful, which left him feeling very perplexed.
Wang Xiong and his companions noticed Li Qiong's confusion, so they explained to him: "Senior Li, you're unaware that Fellow Daoist Xiao is also at the peak of the Condensation Qi stage, just like you!"
"What!" Upon hearing Wang Xiong’s words, Li Qiong immediately exclaimed in amazement.
Given that he was nearly a hundred and fifty years old with over a century of cultivation experience, he knew well how difficult it was to reach the peak of the Condensation Qi stage. But now, hearing Wang Xiong's words, could Xiao Yu have reached such an advanced level at around twenty-five Was this possible
Actually, apart from Li Qiong, no one else knew about his origins. Back in those days, he was a named disciple of the major sect Kunlun Sect. During that great war, he suffered serious injuries and couldn't return to the mountain when the sect sealed it off, so after sealing the mountain, he ended up wandering outside.
Although he was a nominal disciple of the Kunlun Sect, he knew much more about these major sects than Wang Xiong and his companions. Many large sects had their own Cavern Heavens and Auspicious Lands where the density of primordial qi was at least ten times that of the outside world. Even so, no one had ever heard of a sect having such an exceptionally young cultivator in the late stage of the Breath Condensation realm. If Xiao Yu were merely just entering the late Breath Condensation stage at this age, it would have been surprising but not astonishing. But now, Xiao Yu’s status as a peak-stage Breath Condenser exceeded his imagination.
The Kunlun Sect was considered one of the strongest sects, yet even its disciples wouldn’t reach the peak stage of the Breath Condensation realm until they were around forty years old—assuming they were being specially cultivated by their sect. Even then, it would only be possible with the help of a Cavern Heaven or Auspicious Land.
Moreover, these major sects could only gather primordial qi from their surroundings in their Cavern Heavens and Auspicious Lands. Since there was little primordial qi to begin with, even those places couldn’t supply enough for all of the disciples to use; only a few true prodigies were allowed.
Therefore, when Li Qiong heard Wang Xiong’s words, he could no longer contain his shock. The more he learned about these major sects, the greater his astonishment became.
"Are you really at the peak stage of the Breath Condensation realm" After a while, Li Qiong’s surprise gradually subsided as he looked at Xiao Yu with both wonder and suspicion.
He couldn’t help being suspicious. A Breath Condensation Realm cultivator who was so young had never been heard of in those sects that sealed their mountains. Not even the records of these major sects mentioned such a person for two or three hundred years. Even if there were any, they would be specially cultivated prodigies aiming to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm. Although some geniuses like this had appeared one or two centuries ago, none of them had succeeded.
Now that all these sects’ mountains were sealed and even he couldn’t find an entrance into a mountain, there was no way Xiao Yu could have been cultivated by the major sects intentionally. That’s why Li Qiong felt very puzzled in his heart.
Even if Xiao Yu really was at the peak stage of the Breath Condensation realm, Li Qiong should be able to see through him because he wasn’t like Wang Xiong and those other scattered cultivators who had lost some secret methods. When he was on Kunlun Mountain, he had indeed learned a lot of secret techniques. Relying on these techniques, even if someone were one realm higher than him, Li Qiong could still see through them. But at this moment, Xiao Yu appeared to be an ordinary person in his eyes. It was worth noting that the secret methods for hiding one’s cultivation level weren’t absolute secrets of those major sects; only their formal disciples could learn them. Therefore, this elder felt very puzzled about it all. (To be continued)host’s soul to disintegrate."Um.........."A soft sound was made as the female ghost woke up."Ah.......
