Chapter 24 — Kicking the Iron Plate, He’s the Stepson of Our Saint!

…

“My lord, Miss Qing’er has finished washing up!”

Yang Chen watched the figures of Lin Yan and Shen Xueyan leaving, and heard the voice of the maid behind him.

He turned around.

Yang Chen’s eyes lit up.

After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Qing’er looked very different from before.

The dirty little girl had become clean and pretty.

However, she lacked nutrition, her body was too thin, and her complexion was somewhat pallid. But from her delicate features, it was clear that this girl was definitely a beauty in the making.

“Brother, brother!” Qing’er called softly. Her face was slightly blush, seeming a little embarrassed.

Yang Chen smiled slightly, asked the maid to leave, and then took out a pill and handed it to her.

“Qing’er, this is a Yuan Spirit Pill, it can improve your physique, so eat it quickly!”

Qing’er reached out her slightly rough hand, which was often used for chores, and took the pill.

“Thank you, brother!”

“Silly girl, why are you thanking your brother?”

“Hurry up and eat it!”

Yang Chen said, patting her little head.

“Mm!”

Qing’er nodded heavily, her eyes showing some emotion. As an orphan since childhood, this was the first time she had felt cared for. Moreover, her brother’s big hands were so warm.

Qing’er consumed the pill.

Immediately, a white light radiated from her body.

“Brother, what’s happening to Qing’er? Why is my body glowing? And, my body feels a little warm!” Qing’er hurriedly said.

“It’s okay, Qing’er, you have been malnourished for a long time, your physique is a bit weak, the pill brother gave you can restore your physique! Now, brother will impart a cultivation technique to you, and you can start cultivating!”

As Yang Chen spoke, he pointed his finger at Qing’er’s forehead.

A superior cultivation technique of the Xuantian Sect was imprinted in her mind.

Qing’er closed her eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to cultivate.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to gather towards her body.

Yang Chen watched for a while, his eyes showing some shock.

Indeed, she was a Pure Spirit Holy Body, the speed at which she absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was astonishing. And the most terrifying thing was that after Qing’er absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, she could directly fuse it.

There was no need to refine it like other people.

…

Five days in a row, the volcanoes in the Red Cloud Mountains continued to erupt without stopping.

“Brother, Qing’er has reached the Third Stage of Foundation Establishment!” Behind him, Qing’er said cheerfully.

Yang Chen turned around.

Looking at Qing’er, who had been nourished by spiritual energy, her skin was now fair, her eyes were bright and spirited, her eyelashes were long, and two small dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, making her look completely different from five days ago.

Now, Qing’er looked like a little fairy with an immortal aura.

The Pure Spirit Holy Body was extremely compatible with the Heavenly Dao, and was favoured by the Heavenly Dao. So, as long as she started cultivating, her whole person would gradually merge with the Heavenly Dao, exuding an immortal-like aura.

This was also an external characteristic of the Pure Spirit Holy Body.

Moreover, perhaps due to the supplement of nutrients.

The chest of this little girl had actually started to bulge.

[TN/ED: WTF author??? (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻]

“Not bad, Qing’er’s cultivation speed is very fast! In the future, she will definitely become a great cultivator of heaven and earth! By then, brother might need you to protect him!”

“Really, brother?” Qing’er’s eyes sparkled with joy.

Yang Chen patted her little head. Her black hair was smooth and silky, without the coarseness like before.

“Of course, Qing’er is very talented!”

“Hehe!”

“In the future, when I become a great cultivator, I will protect brother! Whoever dares to offend brother, I will fight them until they’re convinced!”

Qing’er smiled triumphantly, waving her small fist excitedly.

After five days of getting along, she had already regarded Yang Chen as her real brother, with a strong dependence and no longer having any constraints with him like earlier.

At this time.

In the Treasure Pavilion of Red Cloud City.

Lin Yan, who had been accompanying Shen Xueyan in searching for the Red Cloud Grass, finally found a Red Cloud Grass.

“Sister Xueyan, I told you I have very good luck! With me here, you won’t have trouble finding the Red Cloud Grass!” Lin Yan touched his nose, proudly saying.

He had helped Senior Sister Xueyan find the Red Cloud Grass she had been looking for.

Senior Sister Xueyan should thank me properly. In the future, she won’t be as be as cold to me anymore.

Shen Xueyan looked at the Red Cloud Grass in her hand, her expression filled with joy.

After five days of searching, she finally found it.

The Red Cloud Grass was different from other spiritual herbs.

There was nothing special about it, it was no different from ordinary Red Flame Grass. There were plenty of Red Flame Grass, a very low-grade spiritual herb. The Red Cloud Grass was mixed among the Red Flame Grass. It was almost impossible for ordinary people to find it.

But at this moment, an untimely voice sounded: “Boss, I’ll take this Red Cloud Grass!”

“It’s one hundred spiritual stones!”

A bag of spiritual stones was thrown on the counter.

Then, before Shen Xueyan could react, a big hand snatched the Red Cloud Grass from her hand.

“You!”

Shen Xueyan was immediately furious.

“Give me back the Red Cloud Grass!”

“That’s mine!”

“Yours?”

The one who snatched the Red Cloud Grass was a pale-faced young man, his gloomy eyes staring unscrupulously at Shen Xueyan, teasing: “Have you paid for it?”

“If you haven’t paid, then this still belongs to the boss (referring to the seller)! I paid the him and bought it. What’s the problem, little beauty?”

“Bastard!”

Although Lin Yan cursed beside him, he was overjoyed in his heart.

Damn, finally a fool had come to cause trouble. It’s time for me, Lin Yan, to show off. Watch how I stand up for Senior Sister Xueyan and take back the Red Cloud Grass. By then, Senior Sister Xueyan’s attitude towards me will definitely return to what it was before. It might even get better.

“You’d better return the Red Cloud Grass as soon as possible! Otherwise, I won’t let you leave this place!” Lin Yan said sternly, full of momentum.

“Where did this stray dog come from? Just at the Fourth stage of Foundation Establishment realm, and he wants to show off in front of a beauty?”

The pale-faced young man’s face was full of disdain.

Without even looking at Lin Yan, his eyes were fixed on Shen Xueyan.

Lin Yan had long regarded Shen Xueyan as his forbidden fruit. How could he allow others to look at her like this? He was immediately enraged.

“Courting death!”

He directly slapped the young man.

Bang!

The young man casually took it. But he was somewhat surprised.

“Not bad, a mere Fourth stage of Foundation Establishment realm, but you can bring out the strength at the Sixth stage of Foundation Establishment realm!” The young man said.

With this statement, many people in the Treasure Pavilion showed different expressions.

“A cultivator at the Fourth stage of Foundation Establishment realm can burst out with the strength of the Sixth stage Foundation Establishment realm!? What kind of monster is this? Is he the Holy Son of some sect?”

“Even if not, he is at least outstanding among the true disciples!”

“Look at that female cultivator, so beautiful, like an immortal descended on earth, I have never seen such a beautiful woman!”

“These two people must have a big background!”

“Today’s going to be interesting!”

In the Treasure Pavilion, most of the people gathered were disciples from various major sects who had come to Red Cloud City.

At this moment, they were all attracted over. Among them were disciples of the Xuantian Sect. Immediately, someone recognized Lin Yan and Shen Xueyan.

“What would you guys know? That fairy is our Xuantian Sect’s Fairy Shen Xueyan, the number one beauty in the Inner sect. It’s normal for you little sect disciples to have never seen such a beauty! As for that person, his name is Lin Yan. Don’t underestimate him just because he’s only at the Fourth stage of Foundation Establishment realm! His background is quite impressive!”

“Oh?”

Suddenly everyone became curious.

“Quite impressive? Could it be that he’s the Holy Son of your Xuantian Sect?”

“How dare your!” The disciple of the Xuantian Sect immediately shouted: “Our Xuantian Sect’s Holy Son has already reached the Seventh stage of Golden Core realm, enough to crush the younger generation of the Northern Spirit Realm. If he were here, who would dare to be so presumptuous!?

“However, you were right about one thing! Although Lin Yan is not our Holy Son, he is his step son! Hmph, to tell you the truth, our Holy Son dotes on this stepson very much! This time, the guy who snatched the Red Cloud Grass has kicked an iron plate!”
