Chapter 204: The Water Qilin’s Secret and Rising Suspicion
Fu Young glanced at the others whose thoughts were practically written on their faces, then he casually picked up the child that was hanging onto his leg and tossed him back into the water.
He then turned back to Xiao Shou with the same bright sunny smile as always.
"Master, let us go take a look inside. It seems there might be a surprise waiting."
"Young’er."
For the first time, Xiao Shou felt that his cute disciple’s personality seemed a little strange.
But before he could finish speaking, the child who is the incarnation of the Water Qilin once again ran back up in a few quick steps and firmly hugged Fu Young’s leg again as if nothing had happened.
"Lord Fu Young, let me be your mount please! I am really very fast at flying!"
"Impressive. Even after being ignored, he can still act like nothing happened and run back again," Gou Guangming said in admiration.
So enviable.
He also wanted to rush over and hug the protagonist’s thigh, but he did not dare to do it.
Gou Zhi nodded in agreement.
Gou Heng also nodded.
Gou Yue was about to nod as well, but the Water Qilin turned its head and glared at him.
The pressure of a divine beast was released and then withdrawn in an instant, freezing Gou Yue in place.
Seeing this, Xiao Shou inwardly cursed the author for poor taste.
Was this really the Water Qilin described as gentle, righteous, and loving all beings?
It mocked, it taunted, and it even threatened people.
It was simply unbelievable.
But why was it trying to please Fu Young?
It’s so annoying.
A look of disdain flashed in the child’s eyes.
Then he looked at Gou Guangming and the others and smiled cutely, he opening his small mouth to speak.
"As expected of the spirit energy from low-grade spirit jade. I only absorbed some of the white mist spiritual energy that drifted from the spirit spring inside the cave, and most of my injuries were already healed. That was enough for me to break out of the egg. What about you all?"
"Ah! When did I reach the Deity Transformation stage? I did not feel anything at all."
Upon hearing this, Gou Heng checked his cultivation and jumped in shock.
Was it not said that advancing from Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation was extremely difficult?
Some people took five hundred years, others even over a thousand years.
How did he suddenly break through without noticing anything?
Gou Yue also looked strange and said, "I have also reached Deity Transformation."
"It is nothing special. This is normal. Stop worrying about it and stabilize your cultivation first."
Unlike the others who were overreacting, Gou Guangming reacted immediately and sat down cross legged to stabilize his newly advanced cultivation.
The other two quickly followed.
Gou Guangming had read the full novel Against the World, so he understood the current situation very well.
The Spirit Realm was a world rich in resources with vast land.
There, upper, middle, and lower grade spirit stones were as common as ordinary rocks in this world with no value and can be found everywhere.
Top-grade spirit stones, which were extremely precious here were only as valuable there as spirit beads were here.
From this, one could imagine how dense the spiritual energy of the Spirit Realm was.
Because of that as long as one had cultivation talent even sleeping would increase cultivation.
With abundant resources and dense spiritual energy, cultivators in the early and middle stages rarely needed to fight for resources, so karmic burdens were few and inner demons were rare.
As a result, cultivation speed was generally much faster.
Ordinary cultivators often reached Nascent Soul at a hundred years of age, while geniuses could reach it even upon adulthood.
Even a body without cultivation talent in the Spirit Realm was far stronger than cultivators here.
One could say that if an ordinary adult from the Spirit Realm came to the lower world, they could defeat a Deity Transformation cultivator in pure physical combat.
In contrast, this world had thin spiritual energy and a difficult Dao.
In such conditions, those who could reach Nascent Soul were already considered geniuses.
When they were suddenly exposed to such dense spiritual energy for the first time, it was the first time in their lives that they could freely satisfy their demand for spiritual energy.
It was only natural that they would break through.
The Water Qilin saw that a single sentence had shut up the four members of the Gou family and proudly smiled.
Just as it was about to continue driving Xiao Shou away, it suddenly felt its neck tighten.
That familiar sensation told it that it had been lifted again by Fu Young.
It quickly put on a pitiful expression and looked at Fu Young ingratiatingly.
"Why?" Fu Young asked with a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely dangerous as he stared at the Water Qilin.
He had a very unpleasant feeling.
He did not want to hear what came next.
However, just now when the Water Qilin released its pressure, he had clearly sensed it.
The divine beast pressure that once could give him some resistance now had no effect on him at all.
Instead, it had triggered something deep within his bloodline, a faint stirring sensation.
It felt as if, once released, he could easily suppress the divine beast pressure.
More importantly, he could sense that the Water Qilin seemed to know something.
That was why he asked.
As he standing behind Fu Young, Xiao Shou could not see his expression, but he could clearly feel that Fu Young’s aura had become unusual.
He could not help but feel worried.
"Young’er!"
"Master, don’t worry. I am fine. I am just playing with this little guy."
Upon hearing Xiao Shou’s voice, Fu Young stiffened slightly, then quickly changed his expression.
He put on a clean and bright smile again while casually holding the Water Qilin and asking gently, "How are your injuries? Are they fully healed? Was breaking out of the egg so early going to cause any problems?"
