Chapter 717: Extravagant Defiance of Heaven
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Fifth Brother, here…” It seemed like Ling Yun was certainly going to be the fifth brother in this Ling Family.
Ling Xiu’s long black hair was like a waterfall, reaching her waist. Her soft chest was standing tall, and her waist was so slim it looked like a willow. Extending her delicate arms, she handed Ling Yun an ocean bowl that was wider than her waist.
Ling Yun was speechless at how big this ocean bowl was. It seemed a little too big…
At this moment, Chester, Pierce, and the two others managed to s.h.i.+ft the rocks that Ling Yun wanted. They brought so many rocks that they were piled up like a small mountain beside Ling Yun. Each rock was almost as big as a football.
After Ling Yun received the ma.s.sive ocean bowl, he nodded and said, “Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, can I trouble the two of you to bring everyone out of the seventh courtyard for a while? You can wait at the front courtyard.”
When Ling Zhen and Ling Yue saw Ling Yun requesting an ocean bowl and so many rocks, they couldn’t understand what was going on. Wasn’t he just going to heal people? Why did he need all of that?
However, everything that Ling Yun did after his arrival was simply too breathtaking and mysterious. Ling Zhen and Ling Yue knew that Ling Yun had his reasons for doing what he did, so they didn’t question him. They led the crowd out of the seventh courtyard and went to the front courtyard.
“Big Sister, you don’t have to leave…” When Ling Yun saw that Ling Xiu was slightly reluctant to leave, he smiled and told her that.
“That’s more like it!” Ling Xiu was pleasantly surprised because she wanted to see what Ling Yun was up to.
Ling Yun transmitted messages to Chester and the rest. “The four of you shall patrol the surrounding courtyards of the Ling Family. If you spot any intruders, start killing them without discussion and immediately inform me!”
Chester, Pierce, Paul, and Joyce acknowledged their duties.
Currently, Ling Yun, Ling Lie, and Ling Xiu were the only three people left in the seventh courtyard.
“Grandpa, you don’t have to think about anything now. All you need to do is cultivate normally. I’ll set everything up now.”
Ling Yun stood up and executed his Dragon Fish Phantom Ability, spinning around the pile of rocks. He opened up his palms and constantly sent ferocious wind towards the rock to place them where he wanted them to be. The accuracy of his placements was extremely precise.
This move alone was enough to make Ling Xiu’s mouth open wide again. Just how strong was Ling Yun?
While Ling Xiu was in shock, she didn’t realize that the seventh courtyard was already enveloped by a layer of white fog. This dense fog had already separated the seventh courtyard from the outside world.
After isolating the line of sight and sound, only a person who knew how to release the Thirty-Six Armillary Sphere Maze Formation would be able to sneak a peek inside.
“What’s going on? Why can’t I see anything in the seventh courtyard?” A lot of people started exclaiming.
“What a powerful formation…” Ling Yue commented.
Presently, Ling Yun’s performance had crushed every bit of knowledge the members of the Ling Family thought they had. He was simply shockingly unbelievable.
“Fifth Brother, this…” Ling Xiu finally reacted as she looked around dazedly.
“Big Sister, this is a formation called the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation…” Ling Yun stopped moving as he explained things to Ling Xiu with a smile.
“You are really an evildoer…” Ling Xiu didn’t know how to describe Ling Yun, and after a long thought process, this was the best she could come up with.
There were still over ten rocks on the ground, so Ling Yun used these rocks to set up a small Spirit Gathering Formation to prevent the spiritual energy from seeping out. This was when he finally felt relieved.
“This is a Spirit Gathering Formation…” While Ling Yun was setting it up, he didn’t forget to explain it to Ling Xiu.
After all his new and old injuries were healed by Ling Yun, Ling Lie’s meridians were exceedingly smooth, so it didn’t take long for him to reach the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level Three. However, Ling Lie had been stagnant for 18 years, which meant that some of the meridians in his body still weren’t suitable to help him breakthrough into the intermediate stages of the Xiantian Realm. This was why he couldn’t recover his original peak condition.
However, when Ling Yun was healing his grandpa’s injuries, he discovered a pleasant surprise. The Xiantian Black Yellow True Qi in Ling Lie’s body was exceptionally thick!
Just how thick and dense was the Black Yellow True Qi in Ling Lie’s energy center? The Black Yellow True Qi was so concentrated that it couldn’t be compressed any further. Ling Yun even felt that if Ling Lie continued cultivating forcefully, his energy center might just explode!
Ling Lie suffered severe internal injuries and had a few damaged meridians which couldn’t recover. However, his energy center was in good condition. Ling Lie had always been eager to excel, so he had been practicing relentlessly. Because his meridians couldn’t flow smoothly, it didn’t matter how concentrated or dense his True Qi was because he couldn’t use it!
This was like a balloon blown to its limit. The air inside was so compressed that there was no circulation within the balloon. The balloon was no longer able to grow any bigger, and there was no s.p.a.ce for the airflow to escape, so if he continued adding air into it, there would only be one outcome.
Now, Ling Lie’s injuries were healed, and his body returned to its peak condition. With Ling Yun’s help, only an extremely small portion of the Black Yellow True Qi in his energy center managed to flow out to form a circulation. This helped Ling Lie return to the peak of Xiantian Realm Level Three!
In a short period of time, this healing process resulted in a formidable effect, and Ling Lie was already incredibly impressed. However, this was merely the beginning for an exceptional miracle doctor like Ling Yun.
He wanted to help his grandpa go as far as possible!
However, everything that Ling Yun was about to do was related to his true trump card. Therefore, he didn’t want anyone to witness it, which was why he set up the Armillary Sphere Maze Formation.
After setting up the Spirit Gathering Formation, the tremendous amount of Wood Spiritual Energy that was emitted by the Divine Willow Wood was no longer able to escape. The Wood Spiritual Energy in the formation became concentrated very quickly because the Divine Willow Wood was emitting a ton of Wood Spiritual Energy.
“Grandpa, how do you feel now?”
After setting everything up, Ling Yun immediately asked Ling Lie, no longer needing to use his telepathy.
“Yun Er, Grandpa feels like I can break through to Xiantian Realm Level Four any time I wish…” Ling Lie opened up his eyes carefully and looked lovingly into Ling Yun’s eyes.
There was only one such precious grandson in the entire universe!
“That’s perfect! Here!”
Ling Yun was pleased. He arrived in front of Ling Lie and took out a Tianshan Snow Lotus.
This was a gift from Miracle Doctor Xue to Ling Yun when he first opened his clinic.
“This is a Tianshan Snow Lotus, I hope Grandpa accepts it!” Ling Yun handed the Tianshan Snow Lotus to Ling Lie without hesitation.
The clear and sweet-smelling spiritual energy of the Tianshan Snow Lotus was simply too captivating.
“This…”
Ling Yun had just returned home, and Ling Lie had yet to prepare any gifts for him as a grandpa. It seemed a little inappropriate for him as a grandpa to accept Ling Yun’s gift.
“Grandpa, are you really going to stand on ceremony with your own grandson?” Ling Yun chuckled.
“You little brat! It seems like I can’t hide anything from you!” Ling Lie blushed as he accepted the Tianshan Snow Lotus by consuming it.
“This is a two-hundred-year-old Lingzhi Gra.s.s…”
After consuming the Tianshan Snow Lotus, he immediately felt the strengthening of his energy center and meridians. This was especially true for the meridians, which had been stuck for 18 years.
Before he could celebrate, Ling Yun took out another two-hundred-year-old Lingzhi Gra.s.s, which shocked him.
Ling Lie smiled bitterly, but he was exceptionally happy and pleased.
Ling Xiu, who was beside them, started s.h.i.+vering in shock. She was tongue-tied as she watched Ling Yun continue to perform his magic.
When she saw how her grandpa was consuming the Lingzhi Gra.s.s joyfully and in large quant.i.ty, Ling Xiu suddenly understood why Ling Yun wanted her to prepare a big ocean bowl.
“Let me go pour some water for Grandpa…”
Ling Yun laughed and rejected her, saying, “There’s no need for that.”
“Swis.h.!.+”
Another big gourd appeared in Ling Yun’s hand, and he poured out half a bowl of dragon saliva. He presented it to Ling Lie respectfully. “Grandpa, please don’t choke…”
The intoxicating spiritual energy of the dragon saliva spread through the air. It was a perfect alluring mix with the Wood Spiritual Energy as well as the spiritual energy from the Tianshan Snow Lotus and Lingzhi Gra.s.s. The mix of spiritual energy could intoxicate any person’s heart!
“Oh my G.o.d!”
Grandpa Ling Lie would never have imagined himself enjoying this much fortune after such a calamity.
Being able to consume the Tianshan Snow Lotus, Lingzhi Gra.s.s, and dragon saliva… Meals like these weren’t even readily available for the leaders of ancient families and hidden sects!
When the spiritual energy of the Lingzhi Gra.s.s and the Dragon Spiritual Energy entered the body, Ling Lie felt slightly full and couldn’t help but burp. The burp was filled with dense and pure spiritual energy!
This was too extravagant! Way too unbelievable!
“Grandpa, slow down a little. I still have some here…” When Ling Yun saw that his grandpa was becoming full so quickly, he was slightly speechless.
“Ah!”
“This…”
Ling Lie touched his mustache as he said, “Little brat, are you trying to stuff me to death? I still want to carry my great-grandson! I’m not eating anymore!”
Ling Xiu chuckled when she heard their conversation.
“Just a little more… There isn’t a lot…”
After saying that, Ling Yun brought out the two-thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed and ginseng that he obtained from Shennongjia. Kacha, kacha… Ling Yun broke two pieces from them, and each piece was as big as a palm.
“Can Grandpa finish them too…”
“F*ck…”
“Such a ma.s.sive Chinese Knotweed! This… Human-shaped ginseng! How many years has it been growing!”
Ling Lie was an experienced man, so he was stunned when he saw those. He really thought that the previous food was extravagant enough, so who knew it would get even worse!
Ling Lie even started wondering if he was wasting these precious resources!
However, Ling Yun didn’t keep Ling Lie in shock for long. He sweet-talked his grandpa into swallowing both the Chinese Knotweed and the ginseng.
“Grandpa, be careful not to choke. Here, have some dragon saliva…”
