Chapter 012: Wasting Heavenly Resources

Cultivation!

Cultivation!

I’m seriously cultivating!

Lu Ye couldn’t care less about Chu Ling’s life or death. If she dies, she dies—no big deal.

His current focus was on training hard, surpassing everyone in one breath, reaching heights that those women would never attain.

This way, nobody would bother him anymore.

Time would dissolve all karmic ties.

Height would bury all regrets.

The Holy Dan kept getting more brilliant, continuously growing larger and larger.

True Essence compressed, compressed, and then compressed again.

He wanted to firmly establish his foundation: be weak one step, be weak all the way; be strong one step, be strong all the way.

At this moment, he sensed a figure appear outside his room.

But he didn’t care; he knew without looking that it was Chu Ling. She’s not dead?

What a lucky gal!

Chu Ling had already recovered from her injuries, sitting cross-legged right at Lu Ye’s door to cultivate.

Chi Xia Peak.

Bai Lan Peak and Chi Xia Peak were both among the peaks of the Grand Dao Sect, which had nine main peaks and seventy-two subsidiary peaks.

To occupy a subsidiary peak, one must at least be a Virtual Refinement strong person, so it’s clear that the Grand Dao Sect is really strong on this first tier.

Because Chi Xia Peak was behind Bai Lan Peak, and since Yue Hongling was confined in the back mountain, some people on Chi Xia Peak could see Yue Hongling at the back mountain.

Yue Hongling felt a lump in her heart.

There was no way she’d apologize to that annoying Senior Brother!

But then again, did that annoying Senior Brother really treat her that well?

She wasn’t particularly foolish; after being reminded by her Master once, she began to ponder, with the vision of a Great Emperor, about her breakthrough moments, where energies were layered to assist her step by step.

The more she analyzed, the more alarmed she became.

Difficult!

Ridiculously difficult!

Because Yue Hongling wasn’t Lu Ye himself, to perfectly help him break through, she would need to calculate everything incredibly precisely.

Not just the pills and treasures but also changes within herself—how crazy was the amount of calculation involved?

She had never really noticed it before.

Hmph!

Even if he treated her well…

Hmm…

A hint of melancholy suddenly appeared on Yue Hongling’s face.

If Feng Wuxie hadn’t died, maybe she and Feng Wuxie wouldn’t have wound up like this. Senior Brother wasn’t too bad, aside from being a bit of a flirt.

The main issue was Feng Wuxie’s death.

It was still because Senior Brother stopped her from saving him that led to Feng Wuxie’s demise.

The death of Feng Wuxie became an eternal thorn in her heart.

As time passed, this thorn grew deeper and deeper, eventually turning into a psychological burden.

General MacArthur once said, “The dead white moonlight is the real white moonlight.”

Lu Xun wrote in his version of Water Margin that “the things not obtained in youth will eventually haunt you for a lifetime.”【Dog Head】

It was exactly like this.

The more Yue Hongling thought, the worse she felt, so she simply started cultivating.

The technique she practiced was called “Ancient Reversal Dao Scripture,” created by the Fearless Great Emperor. She opened her stance, executing the Fearless Fist with vigorous movements.

Dressed in red, her fists embodied the Dao.

Amid the green mountains and trees, she danced gracefully.

On Chi Xia Peak, a young man with an imposing aura and bright eyes saw this scene, and his youthful heart raced.

So beautiful!

So handsome!

The Grand Dao Sect actually had such a stunning woman.

He suddenly soared into the air, a long sword falling at his feet, taking flight towards Yue Hongling.

Yue Hongling?

She stopped her training and glanced at the young man.

“Greetings, Junior Sister. I’m Linghu Wushuang, the new top disciple of Chi Xia Peak. I saw your exquisite fist technique. May I ask for some guidance?” Linghu Wushuang inquired.

Yue Hongling pondered for a moment.

Linghu Wushuang… such a distant name. It seemed that after her Senior Brother refused the position of Saint Son, he became the Saint Son of the Grand Dao Sect.

He later cultivated to a strong level but stopped at the Eighth Heaven, dying in the dark turmoil.

Speaking of which, he was quite a remarkable figure.

However, Yue Hongling had seen too many talented individuals; she even knew a whole bunch of Great Emperors.

“Little brat, you can’t beat me anyway. Just forget it.”

Yue Hongling pouted.

“Uh…”

“You seem younger than me anyway.”

“Then in front of me, you’re still a little brat!”

Seeing Yue Hongling had no intentions of fighting him, Linghu Wushuang also didn’t press the issue; after all, starting a fight upon first meeting wasn’t really appropriate.

“Why are you alone in the back mountain? It’s the area with the weakest spiritual energy, not suitable for cultivation,” Linghu Wushuang asked.

“Punished by my Master,” Yue Hongling said listlessly.

“Oh? What did you do wrong?”

In Linghu Wushuang’s eyes, them being new and already being punished by their Master was a serious matter.

If the Master really got mad at you and refused to pass on teachings, your path of cultivation would be thousands of times harder than others.

“Hmph, I didn’t do anything wrong. It was all my Master’s fault for not discerning the truth and favoring my annoying Senior Brother. Once I’m out of this confinement, I’ll definitely tickle her until she apologizes!” Yue Hongling huffed.

Linghu Wushuang?????

Wait, are you serious? You just joined and you’re already this fierce?

You think you can tickle the Master? No wonder you got punished!

But Linghu Wushuang had initially approached to get to know Yue Hongling; he had thought her stunning, and now after a few words, he realized she was not only beautiful but also lively and cute.

“What do you mean your Master favors your Senior Brother? Since it’s boring in the back mountain, why not tell me about it?” Linghu Wushuang said with a smile.

“Fine, I’ll tell you, you little brat!”

“Recently, I broke that annoying Senior Brother’s door, and he actually grabbed my neck and made me fix it. I refused, and he wanted to choke me to death—like actually kill me!” Yue Hongling complained.

Linghu Wushuang?????

“How can someone be like that? Just for a broken door, he wants to kill someone, and it’s his own Junior Sister?” Linghu Wushuang felt a fire ignite within him.

This is outrageous! This is the Grand Dao Sect, not some demonic cult—demonic cults prohibit such internal violence!

“Exactly!”

“Also, after I fixed the door for him, when I needed to find him, I knocked on his door, and he just punched me in the eye! My eye turned into a panda eye right then, and there are still subtle marks now.”

Linghu Wushuang quickly took the opportunity to look… what beautiful eyes! In them seemed to be a starry sky, but one eye still had noticeable purple bruises.

Linghu Wushuang was furious—how could someone treat such beautiful eyes like that?

What a waste!

This is intolerable!

“And another thing!”

Another thing???

Damn, they’ve only just joined the sect and this gorgeous girl has already suffered such bullying.

“He said he would give me something, which he already gave me, but then he wanted it back! When I refused to comply, he wanted to fight me!”

“Preposterous! I’m furious! What’s his name?” Linghu Wushuang asked loudly, his anger rising.

“Lu Ye!”

“Good old Lu Ye. Junior Sister, just wait; I will definitely avenge you, defeat Lu Ye, and make him apologize to you!” Linghu Wushuang shouted.

Who would have thought that Yue Hongling would suddenly fall silent upon hearing that.

“Junior Sister, what’s wrong?”

Yue Hongling…

You, fighting Lu Ye?

Don’t joke!

You can’t even beat me, and you want to fight Lu Ye?

In the past life, some doubted Lu Ye’s character, others doubted his nature, and some even suspected he had his soul replaced…

But one thing was never in question: Lu Ye’s strength.

He was truly strong!

“Let’s forget it; you can’t even beat a single finger of his.”
