Chapter 1407: Chapter 46 Uproot_2
Daoist Yuanci and Qin Lingxiao were both overjoyed beyond measure.
They repeatedly bowed in thanks.
But the old crone waved her hand dismissively, looking at Qin Lingxiao with a kind face:
“I originally intended to cultivate you to Class V, and then have you replace me here, but now my wish has been fulfilled, and I need not do so.”
“Do you still wish to be my disciple?”
Qin Lingxiao hesitated slightly, glancing at Daoist Yuanci before whispering:
...
“I… My talent is dull, far inferior to his.”
“Him?”
The old crone glanced at Daoist Yuanci and unreservedly shook her head:
“His talent isn’t necessarily higher than yours, it’s just that the foundation of his true form is too profound. Even if he transformed to learn the Yuanci Path, he would quickly become adept at it, there’s no need to compete with him in the short term.”
Hearing this, Daoist Yuanci’s heart remained undisturbed.
Because what was said was indeed extremely fair.
His this incarnation indeed had a profound foundation, and his talent was extraordinary, but his current realm was largely due to the foundation brought about by the cultivation methods practiced by his true form.
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Lingxiao immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times to the old crone.
Seeing this, the old crone joyfully lifted her hand to help Qin Lingxiao up.
“Very good, very good!”
Then she said softly:
“The Yuanci True Method left by my husband for you all is not perfect. It is extremely difficult for you to cultivate to Class V or even higher through it. I have a more complete inheritance here, as well as many Dharma of the Yuanci Palace. Today, I will hand them all over to you.”
With that said, a stream of light flew straight into Qin Lingxiao’s brow.
Then the old crone looked at Daoist Yuanci:
“If you wish to learn, you can simply go and find her.”
Daoist Yuanci was slightly startled, then nodded silently.
Meanwhile, Qin Lingxiao had successfully received the inheritance given to her by the old crone.
The old crone looked at Qin Lingxiao with a face full of gratification, and then said:
“You are only my second disciple; you also have a Daoist sister, who is also my daughter, Yu Wuheng.”
Qin Lingxiao was visibly moved, recalling the name that had been briefly mentioned when she had asked the other about the Yang Fruit.
“After taking the Yang Fruit, she has been gone for many years. I have always stayed here, occasionally borrowing the bodies of inadvertently trespassing mages, summoning some Saint Mages to supplement this place, not really for Zhongsheng Continent, but to wait for her… If she can return, this place is the most accessible.”
The old crone revealed a look of lament:
“However, waiting for so many years, I know that it’s not likely possible anymore.”
Both Qin Lingxiao and Daoist Yuanci fell silent upon hearing this.
Outside the realm, dangers lurk; even Shangguan Renci, an Invincible being amongst those who achieved Immortal Ascension, perished upon leaving the realm, let alone others.
So many years without returning, she has likely perished beyond.
Yet neither had the heart to say anything.
The other’s life seemed to be all about waiting.

Waiting for her husband, waiting for her daughter.
Even for a Refining Void Cultivator with a high realm, such a life was also too much to bear.
At this moment, the old crone changed the subject:
“Even so, I would like to entrust you two, to come and check on this place from time to time, to see if my daughter has returned… If she has, tell her…”
“I have always been thinking of her in my heart.”
The two nodded slightly.
Although they didn’t understand the conflict between the mother and daughter, such an entrustment was simply not something they could refuse.
However, Qin Lingxiao quickly realized something and her expression tightened:
“Teacher, you…”
The old crone smiled, looked at Qin Lingxiao, her eyes tinged with regret:
“I’ve already said, I’ve survived here for ten thousand years, and now my lifespan is not much… These years, I have been trapped guarding this place, and now I also wish to live for myself.”
“Only, I’m afraid there’s no time to teach you now.”
A smile appeared on her face:
“You won’t blame your teacher, right?”
Qin Lingxiao shook her head repeatedly.
The person before her had not long ago made her feel apprehensive and wary as a tiger.
Yet now that she knew the other was about to leave, she felt an inexplicable sense of reluctance in her heart.
The old crone looked at her gently.
With an implied meaning, she said:
“That’s all I can help you with.”
With that said,
The one who had been sitting cross-legged at the mouth of the cave finally slowly stood up.
As she stood up, the whole cave suddenly began to shake violently!
And behind her, the deep cave also started spewing a large amount of corrosive aura.
The Primordial Spirits that had been originally closing their eyes in silence all began to awaken, crying and struggling in the corrosive aura.
In an instant, the cave seemed to turn into an endless hell!
Seeing this scene, Qin Lingxiao was suddenly moved.
She woke up to the realization that the kind-faced old crone before her had never been a beneficent person.
But at the same time, she realized the importance of the old crone guarding this place.
Daoist Yuanci also watched the cave entrance with a grave expression.
But the corrosive aura blowing out of the cave had not reached him before being dispelled by a wave of the old crone’s hand.
“What is she going to do?”
Daoist Yuanci pondered in his heart.
The old crone’s gaze swept over the struggling Primordial Spirits all around, a hint of apology flashing in her eyes:
“These years, I’ve given you a hard time, accompanying me in guarding this place…”
But the momentary look of apology soon disappeared, replaced by a hint of ruthlessness:
“Since that’s the case, then contribute one last time.”
She raised her hand in a grasping gesture.
The Primordial Spirits that had been struggling and crying out instantly fell silent.
The Primordial Spirits remained in their previous actions and postures, but the spirit in their eyes had quietly vanished.
The consciousnesses of these Primordial Spirits had been wiped out by her in that instant.
