"I, Su Changqing, I thank you for saving my life, and I promise you that I will repay your saving grace and will not frown when you ask me for any favors!"
Su Changqing bowed with cupped fists, showing her utmost respect for Ling Tian. This man had saved her from certain death, so she would try to repay his saving grace in the future.
A man so young and seemingly about three to five years older than her could get rid of such a powerful attack and easily assassinate that Separation and Reunion realm powerhouse in a matter of seconds, he should be a hidden super powerhouse. Even he could be strong like her master!
Su Changqing looked nervously at Ling Tian as she straightened up again, somewhat sheepishly looking up and wondering if this person was really a hidden powerhouse, an old monster who had lived for a long time and found some natural treasure that granted beauty and rejuvenation for eternity, or perhaps a young man who was just growing up like her but had a very high cultivation level. She had seen many handsome and attractive men by the world's standards, but never anyone like him, with a vastly superior level of beauty.
Perhaps he had a secret beauty and rejuvenation technique of a very high level?
Su Changqing took a deep breath, calming the nerves in her heart, stabilizing it quickly after experiencing shock and tribulation of life, with ups and downs caused by feeling like she was facing certain death for a moment.
Although she did not know how Ling Tian seemed to be so strong that he made everything so easy, Su Changqing did not ask and kept silent, waiting for Ling Tian to speak.
"That token who gave it to you?" Ling Tian asked once again without caring about Su Changqing's slightly embarrassed face. He was almost certain.
"Mhn? Y-yes! That token was given to me by a respectable senior who belongs to the Beyond Above The Heaven Sect, she is an elder from that sect and her name is Gao Yue." Su Changqing was stunned but she quickly answered Ling Tian's question. She stealthily watched his expression as he said the last, wondering if Ling Tian would really have any relation to this sect or that master.
Although the token was gifted by that senior, her master gave Gao Yue a natural treasure as a gratitude, so it could be considered an exchange. Besides, she also got along very well with Gao Yue and had even asked her for advice and guidance!
"Uhm... so it is indeed little Yue." Ling Tian nodded with a faint smile. The aura he had sensed in that token clearly belonged to one of his female disciples - Gao Yue!
Su Changqing's expression remained calm, but inwardly she was shocked to hear how this young man addressed the famous but powerful immortal fairy of the heavens, Gao Yue, in such a manner!
Little Yue... if this senior really dared to call the immortal fairy Gao Yue like that, then he should have a close relationship with her!
"Right, that guy said you had found a spiritual fruit, can I see which one it is?" Ling Tian changed the topic and asks curiously.
Ling Tian had already found the Enlightenment Spiritual Peach in this place, so the chances of finding some other spiritual fruit or grass were not low. If this girl had found some spiritual resource that he needed, then he would be sure to exchange it for another object of value or required for her.
Su Changqing was surprised at this and showed a dubious look before somewhat reluctantly taking out the spiritual fruit from her storage ring.
"I-I had found this spiritual fruit, senior. Although I don't quite know what it is, but when I took it those guys surrounded us right away before they started attacking us."
Su Changqing slowly explained as she extended her hand and deposited the spiritual fruit into Ling Tian's hands, remembering that everything had started with this spiritual fruit once they had been separated from their sect elder, since she was facing several powerful enemies.
Great experts will also be suppressed in this realm, but their stamina and energy reserves is still not something that low level cultivators could match.
Thinking of the former, Su Changqing remembered Jun Zhuyun and she said, "Elder Jun has not returned!" Her gaze fell on Ling Tian. Knowing that her junior sisters were well, she was worried about her sect elder who had not returned.
Su Changqing no longer cared about handing over the mysterious spiritual fruit. Ling Tian had saved her, so he was her benefactor, therefore, once she thought better, he could bestow this spiritual fruit as payment for the saving grace.
"Your sect elder is fine, in fact, she has the upper hand right now, so she's not at risk." Ling Tian casually commented after glancing around with his spirit sense. Then, he looked at the spiritual fruit in his hand and smiled, "Oh? A half heaven spiritual fruit, I didn't think there could be one here."
The atmosphere in this mysterious realm seemed somewhat strange, besides the fact that it supposedly opened every so often, it would be very obvious that the thousands of people who entered would take all the treasures, herbs, fruits and other cultivation resources they found. But on second thought, Ling Tian knew that in this kind of place would be a good harvesting place for these spiritual fruits, where if they were not found in the open time, they would have many years to grow and ripen before the next opening of the realm, ripening for hundreds and even thousands of years if no one found them.
Su Changqing somehow calmed down when she heard Ling Tian say that Elder Jun Zhuyun was fine.
Casually handing back the spiritual fruit that looked like a small crystalline raspberry, Ling Tian smiled at Su Changqing and he told her, "You are very lucky, this spiritual fruit is called raspberry of half heaven, which is of an extreme grade and will help you a lot in cultivation, improve your aptitude and cultivation by leaps and bounds, and allow you to reach the Great Ascension state without any trouble in the future. This spiritual fruit would even help cultivators in the Great Ascension state break their bottlenecks and help them advance in their cultivation, so it is a highly coveted but difficult spiritual fruit to be able to find."
Su Changqing was dumbfounded as she listened to Ling Tian while holding the small spiritual fruit in her hands. This guy wasn't interested in this spiritual fruit?!
Su Changqing was already ready to let Ling Tian keep this spiritual fruit, but she could not understand why this senior did not seem at all interested or greedy upon seeing this spiritual fruit that he said had a very high value even for the powerhouses of the Great Ascension state. Any powerful cultivator, even most powerhouses would desire this spiritual fruit even to improve their abilities! But he was not interested!
Su Changqing's dumbfounded expression was so obvious that Ling Tian could notice it.
Ling Tian smiled and said, "Eat it right now, and once you leave this realm you will see that you will make a breakthrough in your cultivation... but I think it would be better if you suppress your cultivation until you reach your sect to be on the safe side, because I would not be around to protect you." He could see that Su Changqing had a cultivation base at the Nascent Soul state Middle Stage, although she would not face heavenly tribulation to breakthrough to the Late Stage, she would still have to focus on breaking through.
Protect her?
Su Changqing could not say anything else upon hearing Ling Tian's words. This senior wanted to protect her in her advancement? Why would he do something like that? Su Changqing didn't understand why this senior wanted to protect her when he already saved her once, so it would only make sense that he wouldn't do anything else for her anymore, much less if he wouldn't receive something in return.
"Eat it at once before you start to recover." Ling Tian waved his hand to bring Su Changqing out of her stupefaction.
"Ah! Mhmn... I have no more Chi Recovery Pills left." Su Changqing sighed as she searched through her storage ring and found no medicinal pills. Her strength was slowly recovering, but it wasn't enough to be able to move in a short time. She would have to slowly recover with the aura and then move with what little she could gather.
Ling Tian threw several formation flags around, suddenly causing the aura to gather on them quickly. Another defense formation was also raised, doing the same as with Xuan Li and the others.
Taking out three jade bottles and handing them to a stunned Su Changqing as she felt the spiritual aura gathering on her at an incredible speed, Ling Tian added, "These bottles contain medicinal pills for you to recover while I return. I'll go get little Li and the others, don't worry, I added a protection formation as well and no one will be able to break through."
Ling Tian looked at Su Chanqging with a smile before disappearing in front of her. This girl clearly had a close relationship with Gao Yue, so he would protect her.
On the other hand, Jun Zhuyun had the upper hand and if she kept it up, she would win in the end, so there would be no problem at this point. Ling Tian decided to look for Xuan Li, Lang Qingzu and the others.
Su Changqing couldn't get out of her shock when she saw the place where Ling Tian was a few seconds ago, remembering everything that had happened since he appeared. Even this young man like her was a formation master seeing the barrier that existed as well as all the spiritual aura gathering around her!
After a long time of disbelief, she looked at the raspberry of half heaven and ate it, she quickly felt it melt in her mouth before a warm liquid went down her throat into her stomach. Su Changqing even felt her cultivation base tremble and her aura slightly increase, with a sense of relief and clarity filled her mind.
Su Changqing then looked at the jade bottles in her hands and opened one, only to be surprised once to see high quality medicinal Chi Recovery Pills!
She opened the other two jade bottles and Su Changqing was speechless!
"I, Su Changqing, I thank you for saving my life, and I promise you that I will repay your saving grace and will not frown when you ask me for any favors!"
Su Changqing bowed with cupped fists, showing her utmost respect for Ling Tian. This man had saved her from certain death, so she would try to repay his saving grace in the future.
