441: Fifth level of the Void Realm

"This kid really looks like a pretty boy," Su Yuyan secretly assessed Yang Lingchen.

"Senior Sister Su, what do you think? Just based on looks, isn't this your type?" Yang Lingchen flashed a smug smile.

"You look decent, but your mouth is too glib; you're not my type." Su Yuyan pouted and said.

"Alright!" Yang Lingchen gave an awkward smile. "Senior Sister Su, you have to look out for me in Wentian Palace from now on!"

"If the younger generation causes you trouble, I can indeed protect you, but if you offend the Sect higher-ups, I won't be able to save you." Su Yuyan replied.

"Okay, I feel relieved having Senior Sister Su's word." Yang Lingchen said with a laugh.

Ten days passed in a flash.

On this day, Yang Lingchen and Su Yuyan finally returned to Wentian Palace. Before parting ways, the two exchanged sound transmission jades again.

"If anything happens, you can Sound Transmission me." Su Yuyan said.

"Then, when nothing is happening, can I Sound Transmission you?" Yang Lingchen smiled awkwardly.

"Suit yourself." Su Yuyan smiled faintly, then turned and flew toward her own mountain peak.

Gazing at Su Yuyan's receding figure, Yang Lingchen smiled knowingly, and immediately flew toward Xuanbing Peak as well.

"Holy crap, who is that guy?"

"Isn't that Yang Lingchen? How does he know Senior Sister Su?"

"Exactly! Senior Sister Su is the First Goddess of our Wentian Palace! We've never seen her smile at any man over the years."

"Didn't this Yang Lingchen have rumors with Li Hanyan before?"

"That's right, it's him. This kid is really talented; the two greatest beauties of our Wentian Palace actually both know him."

"What can we do about it? Who told him to look like a pretty boy?"

Shortly after Yang Lingchen left, the Wentian Palace Mountain Gate Plaza was abuzz with discussion.

As the matter concerning Yang Lingchen and Su Yuyan spread, the rumors quickly spiraled out of control.

In the end, it was even rumored that Yang Lingchen and Su Yuyan had kissed goodbye at the Mountain Gate Plaza.

Hantian Peak.

Xu Shaotang was practicing his sword in the courtyard where he lived.

Just then, Black Cloud rushed in and said, "Senior Brother Xu, Yang Lingchen has appeared, and he returned from outside with Su Yuyan."

"Is that true?" Xu Shaotang frowned.

"This matter is absolutely true. It is said that the two even hugged and kissed before parting." Black Cloud stated.

"Impossible. Given Su Yuyan's personality, how could she hug and kiss a man in public?" Xu Shaotang shook his head.

"I don't know about that, but that's what everyone outside is saying." Black Cloud replied.

"This kid is as cunning as a monkey. He probably won't leave the Sect for a while. Find a few top-ranked Outer Sect Disciples to challenge him, and make sure they break his limbs for This Young Master." Xu Shaotang said coldly.

"Yes, Senior Brother Xu." Black Cloud respectfully acknowledged... Wentian Palace Main Peak.

After a period of searching, Tan Shaodu ultimately failed to find any trace of Su Yuyan. Helpless, he could only return dejectedly.

"Senior Brother Tan, Su Yuyan has returned."

Just then, a young man wearing the robes of a Core Disciple walked in.

"Who did she return with?" Tan Shaodu asked in a deep voice.

"An Outer Sect Disciple named Yang Lingchen," the Core Disciple replied.

"Who is Yang Lingchen?" Tan Shaodu asked casually.

"I heard he is Li Hanyan's man," the Core Disciple said.

"I see. You may leave!" Tan Shaodu waved his hand.

"Senior Brother Tan, there... there's one more thing...!" The Core Disciple hesitated.

"What is it? Speak!" Tan Shaodu said indifferently.

"Rumor has it that when Su Yuyan and Yang Lingchen returned just now, they hugged and kissed at the Mountain Gate Plaza."

The Core Disciple spoke cautiously, secretly observing Tan Shaodu's expression.

"Snap...!"

A cold glint flashed in Tan Shaodu's eyes, and he slammed his palm onto the Tea Table, instantly reducing the entire table to powder.

At this moment, a bone-chilling Killing Intent emanated from Tan Shaodu's body.

"Do you have any information on this Yang Lingchen?" Tan Shaodu asked coldly.

"Yes." The Core Disciple quickly took out a small Booklet and handed it over, saying, "This contains all of Yang Lingchen's information, as well as his Portrait."

Tan Shaodu took the Booklet and examined it carefully. When he saw Yang Lingchen's Portrait, he immediately fell into deep thought.

"Why does this kid look so familiar?" Tan Shaodu murmured softly.

"Lingchen, Yang Lingchen, so it was you." Just then, Tan Shaodu finally remembered who Yang Lingchen was.

"Little Bastard, I didn't expect that you not only survived This Young Master's sword attack, but you even slept with the woman This Young Master favored! You truly deserve ten thousand deaths!"

At this moment, monstrous fury surged within Tan Shaodu.

"Senior Brother Tan, you know this kid?" the Core Disciple asked cautiously.

"Junior Brother Ji, keep an eye on this kid. If he dares to leave Wentian Palace, cripple him immediately and bring him back to This Young Master. This Young Master will personally torture him to death." Tan Shaodu's eyes revealed a sinister Killing Intent.

"Yes, Senior Brother Tan." Ji Bochang respectfully acknowledged... Yang Lingchen took a trip to the Mission Hall and submitted all the missions he had completed during his outing.

After gaining contribution points, Yang Lingchen exchanged for many Alchemy Medicinal Materials at the Wentian Palace Treasure Pavilion.

Now that he had the Pill Formula for the kōnglíng pill, the next step was naturally Alchemy.

Three months passed in a flash.

During these two months, Yang Lingchen had been Cultivating inside the haotian jade space.

Aided by the kōnglíng pill, his cultivation level soared, rising directly from the Third Level of the Kongling Realm to the Fifth Level of the Ethereal Realm.

"This Cultivation really consumes too many resources!" Yang Lingchen sighed internally.

Looking at the only ten supreme grade kōnglíng pills left in his hand, a plan immediately formed in his mind. He muttered, "It looks like I need to take a trip to the Sect Trading Plaza."

The so-called Sect Trading Plaza is actually a place where Disciples trade among themselves.

General Sect powers will provide a place for their Disciples to trade.

After all, the Disciples under the major powers are numerous, and everyone will have some things they don't need, but which others desperately require.

Therefore, the Trading Plaza has also become a place for many people to find overlooked treasures.

Even some Sect higher-ups sometimes set up stalls at the Trading Plaza to sell small items they don't need.

Yang Lingchen left his Residence and walked all the way down Xuanbing Peak.

Just as he arrived at the base of Xuanbing Peak, a long Challenge Banner caught his attention.

"Fuck, it's actually challenging me."

Yang Lingchen's expression was extremely awkward, because the slogan on the banner was: Yang Lingchen, you Coward, if you have guts, come out and fight fairly.

"This Yang Lingchen is really embarrassing for our Xuanbing Peak. People from other peaks have already hung their Challenge Letters below our Xuanbing Peak, yet he doesn't even have the courage to accept the challenge."

An Outer Sect Disciple from Xuanbing Peak said.

"I know! I wonder what exactly Senior Sister Li Hanyan and Senior Sister Su Yuyan see in him?"

Another Xuanbing Peak Outer Sect Disciple said.

"I think this kid doesn't seem to have any special qualities besides being handsome!"

"Then have you ever considered that his specialty might be in that area? Otherwise, how could Senior Sister Su and Senior Sister Li both be interested in him?"

Just then, Yang Lingchen walked over. Hearing the discussions of others, he was quite speechless... To be continued!
