752: If you protect me for three years, I will protect you for life.

"Yang Lingchen, how on earth do you Cultivate?"

After the class ended, Chu Yuechan called out to Yang Lingchen.

She really couldn't understand how, in just one month, his cultivation level had broken through from the First Layer of Profound Immortal Realm to the Seventh Layer of Profound Immortal Realm.

Such a terrifying cultivation speed was absolutely comparable even to those legendary top-tier experts.

"Mentor, the reason this Disciple could break through so quickly is actually just luck."

Then, Yang Lingchen recounted what he and the Huang Ruoyu siblings had encountered in the Kongling Secret Realm.

"Your luck is too good, right? You actually encountered the rare and sought-after immortal spirit milk pool."

A glimmer of envy flashed in Chu Yuechan's eyes.

"Yes! That's why the three of us were able to improve our cultivation level so quickly."

Yang Lingchen said.

"Breaking through is a good thing, but your ability to stir up trouble, you Stinky brat, is truly not ordinary."

Chu Yuechan shook her head helplessly.

"This Disciple is also very helpless! I have been very low-key, but these idiots insisted on shoving their faces right into my fists."

Yang Lingchen said with a helpless expression.

"The others don't matter, but you must be careful of Jun Lingyu. This person is petty and vengeful, and he is a Genius ranked tenth among the Core Disciples. If he makes a move against you, the academy might not necessarily punish him."

Chu Yuechan said in a deep voice.

"Can Core Disciples just do whatever they want?"

Yang Lingchen frowned and asked.

"Core Disciples are carefully nurtured by the academy; they represent the future of the academy. Therefore, as long as they don't commit any principled errors, the academy generally won't punish them."

Chu Yuechan said.

"In other words, even if he really killed me, the academy is unlikely to punish him."

Yang Lingchen asked.

"Correct. You are currently just an Outer Court Disciple, while Jun Lingyu is a Core Disciple of the academy. The value of both sides is completely in different dimensions. If he really killed you, he would at most receive some verbal warnings."

Chu Yuechan said.

"Then wouldn't I be in great danger?"

Yang Lingchen frowned, his expression gradually becoming serious.

"Know fear now, do you?"

Chu Yuechan's exquisite crimson lips curled into a faint arc.

"How could I not be afraid?"

Yang Lingchen smiled helplessly and said, "Mentor, I am, after all, a Disciple of Jade Maiden Peak. Can't you protect me a little?"

"Jun Lingyu is a Genius ranked in the top ten of the Core Disciples. If I protect you, there is no benefit to me."

The corners of Chu Yuechan's mouth curled into a faint, elusive smile.

"Mentor, what do you think of this Disciple's talent?"

Yang Lingchen asked.

"I have to say, your talent is indeed quite good!"

Chu Yuechan said.

"How about compared to Jun Lingyu?"

Yang Lingchen asked.

"In terms of talent alone, Jun Lingyu isn't even fit to carry your shoes."

Chu Yuechan said seriously.

"Mentor, have you ever thought about making a venture capital investment?"

Yang Lingchen chuckled.

"Venture capital? What do you mean?"

Chu Yuechan raised her willow eyebrows.

"Venture capital means making an investment, but it carries a certain amount of risk. Of course, the returns are also very generous."

Yang Lingchen said.

"Then I would like to hear what the returns are."

Chu Yuechan smiled lightly.

"Mentor, if you protect me for three years, I will protect you for a lifetime in the future."

Yang Lingchen said seriously.

"Pfft...!"

"Protect me for a lifetime?"

"Stinky brat! That is quite a big promise to make!"

Chu Yuechan burst into laughter, looking radiant and very alluring.

"Mentor, if you think I'm just making empty promises, then just consider that I said nothing!"

Yang Lingchen said after a moment of contemplation.

"Stinky brat, you have quite a personality!"

Chu Yuechan raised her eyebrows and said, "I'll accept this promise! I don't need you to protect me for a lifetime; I just need you to promise me one thing, and I will protect you for three years."

"Mentor, please speak."

Yang Lingchen asked.

"You should focus on your Cultivate first! When you have the ability, I will naturally tell you. If you really don't have that ability in three years, then just consider my investment a failure!"

Chu Yuechan said after a moment of contemplation.

"Mentor, rest assured, investing in me will definitely be the wisest investment of your life."

Yang Lingchen's eyes shone with a glimmer of confidence.

"Stinky brat, you are quite confident!"

Chu Yuechan smiled lightly and said, "I hope you don't disappoint me. As for Jun Lingyu, I can guarantee that he definitely won't dare to make a move against you within the academy."

"However, you had better raise your cultivation level to the Earth Immortal Realm as soon as possible. Only by becoming an Inner Court Disciple will no one dare to recklessly make a move against you."

"Thank you, Mentor, this Disciple understands."

Yang Lingchen thanked her.

In Tianxin Academy, there are tens of thousands of Outer Court Disciples, but only a mere five thousand Inner Court Disciples.

Therefore, the status of an Outer Court Disciple is relatively low. Only by becoming an Inner Court Disciple can one truly be valued by Tianxin Academy, and one's safety is also more guaranteed.

"By the way, Mentor, is there any way to quickly obtain contribution points?"

Yang Lingchen asked.

"If you want to quickly obtain contribution points, you can participate in the Outer Court's profound immortal ranking list. In this ranking list, for every victory you win, you can obtain corresponding contribution points."

"Outer Court profound immortal ranking list? What do you mean?"

Yang Lingchen asked in confusion.

"In Tianxin Academy, there are different ranking lists. The Outer Court has the profound immortal ranking list, the Inner Court has the Earth Immortal ranking list, and the Core Disciples also have the Heavenly Immortal ranking list. These ranking lists represent personal honor."

Then, she told Yang Lingchen about some matters related to the profound immortal ranking list.

"Thank you, Mentor."

Yang Lingchen's eyes shone with a glimmer of brilliance.

He was very interested in this profound immortal ranking list because participating in it would not only enhance his personal combat ability and help consolidate his cultivation level, but also allow him to earn a large amount of contribution points. To him, this was simply a windfall and a task that killed two birds with one stone.

After bidding farewell to Chu Yuechan, Yang Lingchen walked towards the venue of the profound immortal ranking list.

Now, he was desperate to improve his strength.

After coming to the Myriad Heavens Immortal Realm, Yang Lingchen had been constantly worried about his wife and children in the Realm of the Gods, and at the same time, Xing Xiyao was someone he had to find, because this woman had sacrificed too much for him.

There was also that fated enemy, Yang Haotian, who directly told Yang Lingchen that there would eventually be a battle between them in the future.

"Stinky brat! Let's see where you run this time!"

Suddenly, a burly figure blocked Yang Lingchen's path; the person who arrived was none other than Guo Peng.

"Senior Brother, is there something you need from me?"

Yang Lingchen asked with a puzzled expression, while also quietly activating the sound transmission jade that Chu Yuechan had left him.

Guo Peng's cultivation level had already reached the Ninth Layer of Earth Immortal Realm. With his current strength, it was impossible for him to be his opponent; even escaping was a luxury. Therefore, all he could do was try to stall for time and wait for Chu Yuechan to arrive.

"Kid, daring to toy with Senior Brother Jun, you are the only one in the entire Tianxin Academy to do so. Therefore, to show my respect for you, I have decided to break your limbs."

Guo Peng's voice was cold and ruthless, his sharp eyes filled with bloodthirsty Killing Intent.

"Senior Brother, I have ten million immortal spirit crystals. As long as you let me go, I can give them all to you."

Yang Lingchen said in a humble tone.

"Kid, are you sure you have ten million immortal spirit crystals?"

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Guo Peng's eyes.

"How would this Junior Brother dare to lie to you? These immortal spirit crystals were all obtained by me in that ruin."

After Yang Lingchen finished speaking, he threw a box of immortal spirit crystals towards Guo Peng. "Senior Brother, the quality of these immortal spirit crystals is quite good, right?"

"Kid, don't say I didn't give you a chance. As long as you can produce ten million immortal spirit crystals, I will let you go today."

A trace of cunning flashed in Guo Peng's eyes. He had already made up his mind: once he got the immortal spirit crystals, he would immediately cripple the other party's limbs and then take him back to Jun Lingyu.

"You will really let me go."

Yang Lingchen asked nervously.

"Stop the nonsense! If you keep yapping, I will cripple you immediately."

Guo Peng shouted coldly.

"Senior Brother, please don't be angry, I will give them to you now."

Yang Lingchen's voice was trembling. After speaking, he threw the two boxes filled with poison pills directly towards Guo Peng.
