Chapter 280: Chapter 375: Liu Qianqian's Breakthrough_1
Liu Qianqian, who was sitting quietly in her room cultivating, belonged to the third category of people. While Jiang Ling was very powerful, she wasn't at a point where she found it unacceptable.
Although she didn't possess the formidable strength of Mu Huanqing, she had a talent that could turn everything upside down. Perhaps in the eyes of the masses, the fact that Fang Ren could cultivate to the Peak of the Blue Sky Realm in less than three months was a one-in-a-billion occurrence. Then, how should one describe Liu Qianqian's talent?
Half a month had passed since Fang Ren fed her that fruit, and now, in just half a month's time, she had cultivated from an ordinary person to the same Early Stage of the Blue Sky Realm. Although she was still in the early stages, there was no doubt that given another two months, she would far surpass Fang Ren by a great margin.
It was precisely because of her absolute talent that Liu Qianqian had only one idea concerning Jiang Ling, to slaughter him and the entire Nightfall Organization within half a year.
Assassinating the Tianjiang Genius and attempting to instigate conflict between the Tiandao Sword Sect and the Tianjiang Clan—this was a matter Liu Qianqian didn't care about. But the one who was assassinated was Fang Ren; she was determined to make those responsible pay, even if it meant risking her life.
This resolve wasn't just because Fang Ren had enabled her to cultivate. In this respect, she, just like Bai Qi, harbored strong personal emotions beyond gratitude for his kindness.
To this day, her heart still held many pieces of the past, of those days when all she needed to do was agree, and she could have been with Fang Ren.
Unfortunately, she was too concerned for Fang Ren's safety back then, resulting in everything that happened today.
Her resentment towards the Liu Family had reached an extreme level, even sparking a hint of hatred. They never considered her feelings. Had they not treated her that way, how could she have missed out on Fang Ren?
The Liu Family, in her eyes now, had lost much of its importance, but Fang Ren had become even more significant than before.
Because now she finally had the power to protect him. Those who wished to kill him, including the Void Realm, she could kill them all.
Snap!
Suddenly, the cyclone of Spiritual Energy gathering around Liu Qianqian was crushed by her bare hands.
After two days of cultivation, she was at the point where she could break through to the next realm. However, achieving a breakthrough here was clearly not feasible, as the vast amount of Heaven and Earth's Qi she was gathering could destroy the buildings within a radius of one kilometer.
In this hotel, all her classmates and teachers from class three of the medical school were staying, so she needed to leave this place.
Her figure became ethereal inside the room, and the next second, she appeared a hundred meters high in the air, flying towards the outskirts of Tianjiang City.
Although she only had the strength of the Early Stage of the Blue Sky Realm, some of her abilities could now match those of someone in the Yingyue Realm, like this instantaneous movement. Her speed was already comparable to that of the Yingyue Realm.
The reason for this was that she was not using True Qi, but rather Heaven and Earth's Qi. Once she activated her energy flow, it integrated impeccably with heaven and earth. Ordinarily, a cultivator moving through the air would experience resistance as if running through waves, but her movements encountered no such hindrance, and she could even use Heaven and Earth's Qi to aid her own force.
This ability was even stronger than that of an average Wind Attributed Spiritual Root Cultivator, considering her constitution could, in the future, traverse the Void.
As she reached the outskirts of Tianjiang, although there were many soldiers patrolling the skies, they didn't affect her, at least not during her breakthrough.
Tianjiang was an inclusive vast territory. Many practitioners did not avoid others during their breakthrough because the region was filled with powerful beings, each striving to gain strength every second. No one paid too much attention to the process of others getting stronger; they only cared about their own progression.
However, this was a special period. Soldiers would definitely come to verify her identity after she made her breakthrough.
Having found an open space, Liu Qianqian began her breakthrough, with Heaven and Earth's Qi powerfully converging upon her, attracting some gazes from the sky; after all, such a large gathering of Heaven and Earth's Qi is not something ordinary practitioners can achieve.
Two soldiers descended from the sky and landed not far from Liu Qianqian. They did not disturb her but quietly waited for her breakthrough to end. Appearing on the outskirts of Tianjiang, they had to investigate this person, but disturbing someone's breakthrough was a grave offense.
After about ten minutes, the cyclone of Qi around Liu Qianqian suddenly became violent, drawing the Heaven and Earth's Qi from a mile around into her body. The two soldiers also quickly retreated. Liu Qianqian's breakthrough exceeded their understanding of a practitioner's breakthrough in the Blue Sky Realm; even the violently fluctuating Qi was stronger than that of the Yingyue Realm.
After some time, Liu Qianqian completed her breakthrough, reaching the mid-stage of the Blue Sky Realm.
Yet, a hint of disappointment was evident on her face, as she had just been hoping to break through to the Peak of Azure Sky in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, her heart was still too anxious due to the influence from the stab wound inflicted by Fang Ren, ultimately causing her to stop at the mid-stage of the Blue Sky Realm.
"Miss... Miss Liu?"
The two soldiers who saw that Liu Qianqian had finished her breakthrough flew over. Originally intending to confirm if she was a suspicious character, it was only upon closer inspection that they recognized her as the Liu Family's Miss who supposedly lacked cultivation ability.
"Patrolling must be hard," Liu Qianqian nodded to the two soldiers.
"No, it's nothing, Miss Liu. The area outside of Tianjiang is very dangerous, you should hurry back," said one of the soldiers.
Liu Qianqian didn't say much and flew toward Tianjiang City. Her speed in that instant, covering hundreds of meters, left the two soldiers dumbfounded. Was this really the Liu Family's Miss who couldn't cultivate?
Their strength was likely even stronger than that of the two soldiers.
Could it be... that the Fang Family concealed a Fang Ren, and the Liu Family had hidden Liu Qianqian?
It seemed the heads of Tianjiang's great houses really knew how to play the game.
Meanwhile, inside Tianjiang City, the inn where Fang Ren had previously stayed had now become ruins. Many high-level alchemists were gathered around the site, among them some Grandmasters from the first domain.
"Is this the address left by Master Qing'an?" asked an alchemist with a frown.
Another alchemist checked the forum on his phone and confirmed it was the right place: "It seems that the Nightfall Leader's attack on Fang Ren was not just to incite internal strife between the Fang Family and the Tiandao Sword Sect."
"Master Long Ming, what is your view?"
All eyes of the alchemists turned to an old man in the sky.
The old man was dressed in simple, ancient clothing and had a deeply furrowed brow. He was one of the top-level Alchemy Grandmasters from the first district—Long Ming.
He was also the elder who often asked Master Qing'an questions about difficult alchemy problems online.
"I just went to inquire with the inn's staff, and that room number was the place where Fang Ren stayed. It's not difficult to understand why Fang Ren, at such a young age, could produce a fourth-rank top-level elixir. Master Qing'an asked him to receive medicinal materials... There's only one possibility, and that is Fang Ren is a direct disciple of Master Qing'an," Long Ming said seriously.
