The five disciples of Shushan were worried, and Li Lingfeng had already exchanged greetings with Master Xuanling.
He turned his head, glanced at the five people, and reprimanded: "You guys are still my Shushan disciples, but you are so rude to Master Xuanling. Where have I left all the teachings I usually give you? Take a look. You, what did you look like just now? All of you are arrogant and domineering, with no one in your eyes, how can you have the air of a famous family?"
Although Li Lingfeng's expression was mild, his intention of reproach was fully revealed.
When the five Shushan disciples heard this, they couldn't help but panic. The Shushan Sword Sect has strict rules, and if they break the rules, the punishment will be very severe.
They hurriedly pleaded to Li Lingfeng: "Master, we know we were wrong, please show mercy and forgive us once."
Li Lingfeng grimaced, snorted, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "It's useless for you to plead with me, Master Xuanling must forgive you."
The five Shushan disciples turned around quickly, apologized and pleaded with Master Xuanling, hoping that Master Xuanling would let them go.
Master Xuanling is highly respected in the cultivation world, so naturally he doesn't care too much with these juniors.
Besides, these Shushan disciples are also under Li Lingfeng's sect, so it is even more difficult to pursue them.
So, he smiled and said: "Ling Feng, you don't have to punish these disciples anymore. Those who don't know are not guilty. Since they have already admitted their mistakes, forget it."
Li Lingfeng originally intended to punish him, but seeing Master Xuanling begging for mercy, it was not good for Master Xuanling's face, so he reprimanded several disciples: "Since Master Xuanling pleaded for you, I will forgive you for the time being, but next time If you commit the crime again, you will never be forgiven, understand?"
The five Shushan disciples lowered their heads, thanked them repeatedly, and promised not to do it again.
"It's okay, you all step back." Li Lingfeng ordered.
The five Shushan disciples thanked them as if they had been pardoned, and hurried away.
"Hmph, it would be too cheap for them to just let those boys go. If it falls into my hands, I have to toss them hard." Dunche seemed a little dissatisfied with the result, and kept mumbling .
Seeing Dunche's straightforwardness, Li Lingfeng just smiled and didn't care.
Li Lingfeng led the three of them into the Golden Lotus Hall.
The Golden Lotus Hall is divided into the front hall and the back hall.
The front hall is the center of Shushan Sword Sect, where Li Lingfeng handles affairs.
The front hall covers a vast area, and there are Shushan disciples and elders coming and going in and out of the hall from time to time.
As soon as they saw Li Lingfeng, these Shushan sects saluted Li Lingfeng one after another, not daring to be disrespectful.
And Li Lingfeng nodded slightly as a return gift.
Passed through the front hall and came to the back hall.
The apse is Li Lingfeng's residence, and there are also some Shushan disciples who work in the Golden Lotus Hall.
Although the area is relatively small, the scenery is very beautiful. When you open the window, you can see the green forests all over the mountain, which is refreshing.
Li Lingfeng invited the three of them into his study, and immediately a boy came up to serve tea.
Li Lingfeng took a sip of tea, moistened his lips, and then talked about friendship with Master Xuanling, and the topic gradually shifted to Zhao Rui.
"Zhao Rui, I heard from Master Xuanling that you entered the realm of cultivation for a very short time, but how short it is is not very detailed. Can you tell me how long it has been since you began to cultivate?" gone?"
Zhao Rui held the celadon tea bowl and spun it slowly, thinking whether he should tell the truth.
It has only been a few short years since he practiced the "Eight Desolation Killing Immortal Art", if he really revealed this time, it would be too shocking.
However, if you don't explain it truthfully, make up a random time, and if you rush, you may reveal your secrets.
After all, Master Xuanling was by his side and knew him quite well.
Zhao Rui was hesitating, but Li Lingfeng seemed to have seen through his worries, and smiled: "Fellow Daoist Zhao Rui, just tell me the truth, I, Li Lingfeng, am not a talker, I don't spread the word everywhere, I'm just really curious. If it’s really inconvenient to say, Fellow Daoist Zhao Rui, that’s okay, I won’t ask.”
When Li Lingfeng said this, Zhao Rui felt a little embarrassed. If he kept hiding it, it would appear that he was too petty, so he said truthfully, "It's been about a few years."
"What? How many years!" Li Lingfeng's calm face showed a look of astonishment for the first time, thinking that he had missed it.
Not only Li Lingfeng, but Master Xuanling also had the same idea, and asked tentatively: "Fellow Daoist Zhao Rui, did it take you hundreds of years or... a few years to cultivate to the realm of the Transcending Tribulation Stage?"
"A few years!" Zhao Rui replied very positively.
The tea cup in Li Lingfeng's hand shook, and the tea in the cup spilled all over the table, but he didn't notice it at all.
In a few years, he has cultivated to the realm of crossing the tribulation period!
How can this be!
This is even more legendary than the legend!
The journey of cultivation is full of difficulties and obstacles. Even for a talented person with excellent bones, if he wants to succeed in cultivation, it will take at least thousands of hours to make it possible.
If you want to ascend to immortality, besides personal aptitude, you also have to rely on luck.
If one can cultivate to become an immortal within thousands of years, that would be a godlike speed.
It is also because of this that from ancient times to the present, there have been few practitioners, and even fewer people who can become immortals.
He, Li Lingfeng, is known as the most talented cultivator in the realm of cultivation. It took him thousands of years to reach the stage of crossing the catastrophe, and another five or six hundred years to reach the stage of Mahayana.
Even so, his cultivation speed, in the eyes of other cultivators, can be called divine speed.
But now, Zhao Rui said that it only took him a few short years to reach the stage of crossing the catastrophe!
For a cultivator, a few years is no different from taking a nap.
But in such a short period of time, Zhao Rui has already cultivated to the realm of crossing the catastrophe!
This is too incredible, too unbelievable!
Even though Li Lingfeng had already reached the stage of Mahayana stage and had already been able to be immovable by the eight winds, he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Zhao Rui's words now.
However, his concentration is far higher than others after all. After a brief moment of amazement, he quickly regained his composure, and said with a smile, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would really find it hard to believe that Fellow Daoist Zhao Rui's cultivation progress is so fast. I don't know where the teacher came from, Fellow Daoist Zhao Rui, and what kind of magical art is he practicing, which has such a miraculous effect?"
"Eight Desolation Killing Immortal Art."
"Eight Desolation Killing Immortal Art?"
Li Lingfeng and Master Xuanling looked at each other, both looking a little confused. None of them had heard of such a formula in the cultivation world, but judging from the name, this formula seemed to be extremely overbearing, and it was named Killing Immortal Jue, which was truly murderous.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao Rui, we have never heard of the formula you cultivated. However, since it allows you to cultivate to such a level in such a short period of time, it must be miraculous."
Zhao Rui explained: "Although the Eight Desolation Killing Immortal Art is wonderful, if I practice it step by step, it is not enough for me to cultivate to the realm of transcending the tribulation period in less than ten years. I am lucky and have many adventures. That's why the progress of cultivation can be so fast."
Li Lingfeng stroked his long beard and said, "Even so, reaching the realm of crossing the catastrophe within ten years is enough to shock the world. Fellow Daoist Zhao Rui, your future is truly limitless! If you continue to practice at this pace , maybe, you were able to ascend to the Dao before me."
Zhao Rui said with a smile: "Headmaster Li praised you absurdly. Your strength is far beyond my reach. As one of the four peak powerhouses, it may be impossible for you to cultivate and ascend before you."
Li Lingfeng shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Although I am the youngest among the four Mahayana cultivators, there is still a gap between me and the other three cultivators in terms of cultivation base and strength. The gap, especially the Demon Emperor of the Demon Sect, is actually no less talented than me, but he is usually low-key and mysterious. Now no one knows what level his cultivation base has reached.
As for Zhang Songli, the dragon and tiger celestial master of Longhu Mountain, it is said that he is currently practicing the dragon and tiger against the heavens in seclusion. Once the cultivation is successful, the ascension to immortality is just around the corner. Compared with these two, I am still far behind! "
Master Xuan Ling smiled and said: "Ling Feng, you are too humble. Your strength is not much worse than the other three strong men. Besides, you are extremely talented and relatively young. It is just around the corner to surpass them." Hehe, the two friends I made are both talented people, so I am lucky."
Dun Che was on the side, listening to the three people complimenting each other, but he was left alone, and could not help complaining: "I have also cultivated to the stage of crossing the catastrophe in a few hundred years! Why don't you praise me?"
Master Xuanling and Li Lingfeng were startled for a moment, then burst out laughing.
"Yes, yes, we forgot one more." Master Xuanling smiled, "This dunche is also a highly qualified demon spirit."
Li Lingfeng also nodded, feeling that Dunche, a demon spirit, was indeed of a different kind. After hundreds of years, he had cultivated to the stage of crossing the catastrophe. Apart from luck, his roots were unique among monsters.
If Zhao Rui's cultivation progress was not so amazing, this Dunche would definitely surprise him.
After a few compliments to Dunche, to calm down Dunche's little resentment, Li Lingfeng turned to Zhao Rui and said, "Friend Zhao Rui, are you interested in competing with me?"
Fight against the top!
Zhao Rui was slightly taken aback, and then a surge of excitement rose in his heart.
From the day he stepped into the cultivation world, he heard legends about the four peak powerhouses from time to time.
For him at that time, these four peak powerhouses were too far away, so far away that he felt too illusory.
However, he has always been full of longing in his heart, hoping that one day he can compete with these peak powerhouses.
Now, this opportunity suddenly popped up automatically, before his eyes.
How could this not excite him
Fighting against the peak powerhouse is simply a supreme honor for other practitioners in the cultivation world.
Even if he failed, it would be enough to make him famous and become the object of admiration of countless practitioners in the cultivation world.
Because, these four peak powerhouses will not fight with others at will, and they even disdain to fight with low-strength cultivators.
If you are lucky enough to face off against the peak powerhouse, it means that the peak powerhouse's affirmation of your strength is an honor even if you lose!
