Chapter 121: As Long As You Are Bold Enough, Even the Grandmaster Can Be Taken Down!

"Dao Child, you have returned."

When he returned to Qixia Courtyard, it was already late at night. Qi Yuan looked at the Taixuan Holy Land Disciple who came to greet him, and he actually felt a sense of living in a different lifetime.

Thinking about his previous actions, it could no longer be called dancing on the edge of a cliff; it was more like bungee jumping off a cliff, and the kind without a rope at that. Surviving it was entirely due to having a tough life…

Qi Yuan secretly rejoiced; fortunately, the result was good, it was just a bit too much to handle.

He only now knew that riding the Mythical Beast once did not extend one's Lifespan, but could rapidly replenish the vitality and Qi and blood within the body.

Just staying on the back of the Mythical Beast for a while, he felt as if he were about to be filled with Qi and blood, narrowly avoiding shooting blood from his nose on the spot.

Now, the strength of the Qi and blood in his limbs and bones was extremely vigorous, and he wished he could drag Ji Tianpeng over to have another big battle.

Of course, having such an effect could also be said to be very awesome, but Qi Yuan did not want to try it again.

Although the Mythical Beast's true form looked quite handsome, it had several pairs of hard horns on its back, and sitting on it was really uncomfortable.

Legend has it that the Mythical Beast can help people increase their Lifespan, and this is true, but it requires the Mythical Beast to use one of its innate Divine Ability.

Every time this Divine Ability is used, the Mythical Beast consumes a certain amount of Origin essence and blood, which requires a long time to recover afterwards.

The Heavenly Dao is impartial, and Lifespan is even more so. Extending someone else's Lifespan must come at a corresponding cost, even for the Innate Divine Beast, the Mythical Beast, it is no exception.

If not for this, wouldn't everyone in the Linglong Holy Land be able to live forever?

To want to borrow the hand of the Mythical Beast to extend one's Lifespan, one must let the Mythical Beast willingly make a huge sacrifice, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible.

In fact, even with the instructions left by Fang Lan before she left, in the past one hundred thousand years, fewer than ten Cultivators of the Linglong Holy Land had enjoyed this life-extending Divine Ability, among whom three Mahayana Realm Cultivators were born, which was quite a harvest.

Because Cheng Feihuang had only recently extended the Lifespan of the fourth Mahayana Cultivator of the Linglong Holy Land by a thousand years, she could not use this Divine Ability again for a short time, and someone could only express regret about this.

However, Qi Yuan was not very disappointed; after all, he was only in his early twenties and was already at the Nascent Soul Mid-stage, and he would be able to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Late Stage before long.

Even if he directly gave up and laid flat, he would still have at least several thousand years of Lifespan; by then, Cheng Feihuang would have long since recovered, and there was no need to worry about the Lifespan issue at all.

Moreover, he was not without gains. Not only did he get the Materials and Pill Formula for refining the creation mending heaven pill, but he also gained the maximum favor of the first Grandmaster of the Linglong Holy Land, so he could basically walk sideways in the Linglong Holy Land from now on.

Now, even if that woman Qiu Xuanji came in person, she would have to politely call him Your… er, no, that's wrong, it's Guest Elder Qi.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan couldn't help but laugh again.

That's right, after the personal appointment by the first Grandmaster of the Linglong Holy Land, he was now a Supreme Guest Elder of the Linglong Holy Land!

Although it was only an honorary title, the benefit was that he didn't have to bear any obligations, yet he could use the various resources of the Linglong Holy Land at will. It was simply a perfect position tailored for him.

Because he was a Guest Elder, it would not affect his position as the Dao Child of the Taixuan Holy Land in the slightest, nor was there any suspicion of betraying the Sect.

On the contrary, the Taixuan Holy Land would definitely be happy to see it happen.

Their own Dao Child becoming a Supreme Guest Elder of the Linglong Holy Land meant that the relationship between the two Holy Lands had taken a step further, and there was a faint sense of the Taixuan Holy Land having the upper hand over the Linglong Holy Land.

In fact, it was so. Just now, when he reported this matter to his Master, Heng Zhen, the surprise in Heng Zhen's tone could be heard through the communication talisman; he was probably grinning from ear to ear.

As long as you are bold enough, even the Grandmaster can be taken down!

Just at this moment, a timid figure suddenly appeared in front. Seeing Qi Yuan, this figure's eyes lit up, and he rushed up in a hurry: "Junior Brother Qi, you have finally returned!"

Seeing this figure clearly, Qi Yuan was slightly stunned, and then he frowned.

Oh no!

The Senior Brother was infatuated with the Linglong Saintess. If he let him know what he, this Junior Brother, had just done to the Linglong Saintess, would he fight him to the death?

"Ahem… Senior Brother, why are you here?"

Qi Yuan coughed twice, pretending nothing had happened, "Didn't I tell you to stay honestly in the backyard?"

"There are quite a few Linglong Holy Land Disciples patrolling outside. You don't have an invitation letter. If you get caught again, I won't be able to help you."

Hearing this, Lu Changfeng scratched his head a little awkwardly, his tone filled with a guilty conscience:

"I'm sorry, I don't know why the guards of the Linglong Holy Land suddenly became so strict, even the Sect formation was fully activated."

"I was caught just as I approached the outermost perimeter. I was really unlucky."

While speaking, he smiled sheepishly and begged:

"Junior Brother Dao Child, please, don't mention this matter to Master. He warned me just a few days ago. If I commit the offense again, I'm afraid I will really be expelled from the Sect."

Qi Yuan looked at him speechlessly:

"I'm too lazy to snitch on you. If you don't want to be exposed, it's best to go and talk to Hall Master Song."

"Those who came this time are all Disciples from the External Affairs Hall. Only if he speaks up will those accompanying Disciples not go out and talk nonsense, otherwise, you can just pray for your own luck."

Lu Changfeng's face turned bitter upon hearing this.

How could he not have thought of this? It's just that Song Cheng looked kind and benevolent on the surface, with a slick and worldly appearance, but in reality, he was loyal to the Holy Land and never practiced favoritism.

Sigh!

I just hope that Master, for the sake of our Master-Disciple relationship, won't really expel me from the Sect…

Immediately after, Lu Changfeng suddenly perked up, staring at Qi Yuan with glowing eyes:

"Junior Brother, I heard that you went out with Fairy Xiao this time. Did you ever tell her that I am innocent? Also, did she have any words for you to pass on to me?"

Qi Yuan curled his lips, "No, but she once said that you look honest and steady on the surface, but secretly harbor dirty and vulgar thoughts. Her impression of you is probably negative."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think to himself.

After his previous actions, he estimated that his impression in the heart of the Linglong Saintess was probably not even as good as Lu Changfeng's now.

After all, no matter what, Lu Changfeng was just a humble bootlicker with limited aggression, while he was playing for real…

"What?"

Hearing these comments, Lu Changfeng's expression instantly collapsed, his face filled with hopelessness, "Sigh, it seems that Fairy Xiao is determined not to forgive me. If I lose Fairy Xiao's trust, what is the meaning of my life?"

Qi Yuan shook his head and sighed, patting his shoulder:

"It's not that I want to discourage you, but even if the matter with the shadow recording talisman hadn't happened, you wouldn't have a chance. Forget her!"

Looking at Qi Yuan's earnest advice, Lu Changfeng's heart seemed to be touched, and his entire eye sockets turned red:

"Ask the world, what is love? I know that Fairy Xiao has no feelings for me, but I always unconsciously want to get close to her. Perhaps the ignorant love of youth is destined to be unforgettable…"

The ignorant love of youth?

Qi Yuan's mouth twitched, and he almost vomited.

You are already nearly a hundred years old, and you still have the face to be self-moved here?

Here, Lu Changfeng had tears in his eyes, looking desolate and tragic:

"Junior Brother, you are right. I cannot let Master down again. From today on, I, Lu Changfeng, want to be a Taixuan Holy Land Senior Brother who focuses on cultivation."

Saying that, he tremblingly took out a jade bottle from his storage bracelet and held it tightly in his hand:

"I know that I really can't forget Fairy Xiao, so I prepared a heart-severing pill in advance. As long as I take this pill, I can cut off love and desire, and my heart will be as still as water."

Is he this ruthless?

Qi Yuan was stunned, clearly not expecting Lu Changfeng to be so determined.

As expected of a Personal Disciple once favored by the Sect Master of the Holy Land, he really had guts.

However, something like the heart-severing pill acts directly on the Divine Soul. Although the effect is excellent, the sequelae are also huge. If one is not careful, it is possible to extinguish one's original heart, fall into the Demonic Path, and then there will be no room for regret.

"Senior Brother, think twice!"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

Unexpectedly, Lu Changfeng snorted coldly and resolutely opened the bottle cap:

"Junior Brother Qi, I know you are a good person, but you don't need to persuade me anymore. If I don't take this pill, my heart will never be at peace…"
