Chapter 1500: Chapter 1391: Rui Xiaoqiao’s Senior Sister
"For a girl to catch your eye, she must be really talented, right?" Rui Xiaoqiao remarked.
"Yes, her talent would surely be considered genius level even among the Ancient Martial World," Kong Ningshuang nodded.
In her heart, Shui Yiyi was not only beautiful and graceful, but also exceptionally talented.
"But I know someone even more talented, definitely more so than that girl you’re talking about. If he’s willing to go back to the Ancient Martial World with you, the sect would be thrilled."
Rui Xiaoqiao’s eyes suddenly lit up as she spoke with a smile.
"You’re talking about that Ye Qingfeng again, aren’t you? Just how great is he to brainwash you like this?"
Kong Ningshuang shook her head helplessly, raising her eyebrows slightly,
"This Ye Qingfeng is too wicked, tricking you out of all your spirit stones. If I ever meet him, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson."
These days, she had heard Rui Xiaoqiao mention that Brother Ye Qingfeng multiple times, feeling quite helpless as Rui Xiaoqiao shifted her admiration from her to an unfathomable idolization of Ye Qingfeng.
Moreover, that guy even tricked Rui Xiaoqiao out of all her spirit stones. The reason Rui Xiaoqiao refused to disclose, making Kong Ningshuang even more exasperated.
Fortunately, Rui Xiaoqiao didn’t suffer any harm, which brought Kong Ningshuang some relief. This Ye Qingfeng might be mischievous, but he wasn’t completely without limits.
"No, the spirit stones were my gift, it has nothing to do with Brother Ye Qingfeng," Rui Xiaoqiao explained hastily.
"Then why did you give him the spirit stones?"
Rui Xiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, but then gritted her teeth and said, "Because Brother Ye Qingfeng saved me. If it weren’t for him, I might have been in trouble. Also, Brother Ye modified our technique after I gave him the Taixu Scripture..."
"What, you gave the ’Taixu Scripture’ to that Ye Qingfeng?"
Kong Ningshuang’s face changed instantly; this was the top cultivation technique of their Immortal Heart Sect, not something you casually hand over to a mundane Martial Artist.
"Sister, don’t worry, Brother Ye Qingfeng didn’t take my ’Taixu Scripture.’ In fact, he modified the cultivation technique so that it could directly absorb the energy from spirit stones."
Rui Xiaoqiao explained quickly.
"He modified the ’Taixu Scripture’ and made it capable of directly absorbing spirit stone energy?" Kong Ningshuang raised her eyebrows slightly, finding it unbelievable.
If anyone else said this, she would definitely not believe it, but Rui Xiaoqiao never lied to her.
"It’s true, though I’ve never attempted it since I gave all my spirit stones to Brother Ye Qingfeng, but I saw him absorb spirit stones himself with my own eyes."
Rui Xiaoqiao spoke up.
Actually, she hadn’t seen Ye Qingfeng directly absorb the spirit stones; it was Little Yue who did. However, the two seemed to be engaged in something she felt too embarrassed to mention, so she merely attributed it to Ye Qingfeng.
"How is this possible?" Even the usually calm Kong Ningshuang couldn’t help but question how someone could possess the ability to modify a cultivation technique, especially the Taixu Scripture, a top legacy from ancient predecessors.
Though missing a part, it’s not something ordinary people can alter. Even her master or the sect’s elders don’t have such capability.
Not to mention, directly absorbing spirit stone energy like that, how can anyone possibly achieve it?
"Try it now and show me," Kong Ningshuang didn’t hesitate, immediately producing a spirit stone and handing it to Rui Xiaoqiao.
"Alright."
Rui Xiaoqiao sat cross-legged and began to cultivate using the revised Taixu Scripture given by Ye Qingfeng, the low-grade spirit stone in her hand.
This was also Rui Xiaoqiao’s first time absorbing a spirit stone. As she operated the technique, she immediately felt a strong, thick energy surge into her body.
The method of directly absorbing spirit stones was incredibly efficient, incomparable to taking pills; she’d never experienced such a fast cultivation method before.
"This... How is this possible? Who on earth is this Ye Qingfeng?" Kong Ningshuang said, slightly wide-mouthed, marveling as the spirit stone gradually dimmed, acknowledging that Rui Xiaoqiao could indeed absorb spirit stone energy.
After more than half an hour, Rui Xiaoqiao finally opened her eyes, the spirit stone in her hand now much dimmer.
"You can really absorb the energy directly from the spirit stone? There are experts like this in the mundane world?"
Kong Ningshuang was shaken, her calm heart now unsettled.
"So, how about it, Sister? Did I tell you or what, Brother Ye Qingfeng is genuinely incredible. Even in the Ancient Martial World, I’ve never seen someone as talented as him."
Rui Xiaoqiao’s face lit up with pride and joy, almost as if boasting about herself.
"Even Ma Gu and Yan Qianjie, the like of geniuses from the Ancient Martial World, might not be a match for Brother Ye Qingfeng."
Hearing Rui Xiaoqiao’s words, Kong Ningshuang chuckled softly, "Being able to directly absorb spiritual power from spirit stones, this Ye Qingfeng is indeed impressive, but saying he’s better than Ma Gu and Yan Qianjie is too naive."
"He may have caught some lucky break, having a unique magic door, but he’s ultimately a mundane person. There’s simply not enough spirit stones in the mundane world for him to absorb!"
"But geniuses like Ma Gu and Yan Qianjie are different; they’re born into top sects in the Ancient Martial World, with unparalleled talent. Mundane Martial Artists, no matter how impressive, can’t compare."
"People in the mundane world can’t compete with Martial Artists from the Ancient Martial World, let alone geniuses like Ma Gu or Yan Qianjie. Even a typical Martial Artist from our world, your Brother Ye Qingfeng, may not match."
Kong Ningshuang spoke candidly; she wasn’t arrogant, just stating facts.
Resources are too scarce in the mundane world, making cultivation nearly impossible, unlike the Ancient Martial World. So, no matter how outstanding someone is, they can’t hold a candle to the geniuses of the Ancient Martial World.
"That’s impossible, I personally saw Brother Ye Qingfeng defeat the Shenhe Sect..." Rui Xiaoqiao, in her excitement, blurted out and then quickly shut her mouth.
"He defeated someone from the Shenhe Sect?" Kong Ningshuang paused, "This person can defeat someone from the Shenhe Sect? Though not a top sect, their disciples aren’t pushovers for just anyone. Xiaoqiao, who did you say Ye Qingfeng defeated from the Shenhe Sect?"
"I... I don’t know, I know nothing," Rui Xiaoqiao suddenly shook her head and quickly ran up the mountain.
That was close, almost spilled the beans!
