"I am Bai He, a disciple of the underworld clan of the Heavenly Desolate Domain. I feel that you have the Purple Gold Divine Token that I have been pursuing for a long time in your possession, so I am extremely grateful that you have come to hand over the Purple Gold Divine Token." Bai He cupped his fists in greeting, but didn't get up. Instead, he sat down on a chair with a proud expression on his face.

Hong Ling frowned, he looked at the Bai He River whose nose was facing the sky, and was unhappy in his heart. This Bai He, not only did he barge into the private room he had booked, he even spoke rudely and asked him to hand over the purple gold holy order. Did he really think he was that easy to handle? As for the so called underworld clan, in Hong Ling's opinion, it was only because the clan had a Spirit Refinement cultivator that they dared to be so arrogant. Hong Ling once again sat alone on the railing, the wine pot in his hands gently drank a mouthful of wine, closed his eyes and carefully savored the rich and good wine. He indulged himself, leaving Bai He and his three subordinates to the side. After a long time, when Bai He couldn't help but be on the verge of erupting, he finally exhaled a long breath of turbid alcohol.

"My apologies, but I have a Purple Gold Divine Token with me. I can't give it to you. Please leave on your own!" Hong Ling said without lifting his head, and when Bai He saw him like that, he suddenly stood up and slapped the table hard with his palm. Bang! The dishes and wine cups on the table were instantly sent flying by his palm and then fell.

Bai He's eyes flashed with anger and his face became incomparably cold. He gloomily said, "You actually dare to mess with me? Do you know who I am? "

"I don't care who you are, and I don't want to know who you are!" However, Hong Ling ignored him, and looked at the bustling crowd below, then looked at Canfeng, signalling him to make a move to chase him away.

"Canfeng, bring this Young Master White River and his three subordinates downstairs. I'm a bit tired, I need to rest for a while."

"Yes, young master!" Hearing that, a tyrannical Qi exploded out from Canfeng's body, directly enveloping Bai He and his three subordinates. His tone was icy cold without a shred of emotion, and he casually stretched out his hand to stop Bai He who wanted to move forward.

"Young Master White River, there are still three people remaining. My family's young master is tired, please leave now!" He bowed respectfully, neither servile nor overbearing. However, the pressure he exuded was so oppressive that no one could breathe.

Bai He's three late stage Qi Refinement into Spirit s instantly paled. Suppressing the fear in their hearts, they joined hands to block Bai He, protecting him, and stared fixedly at Canfeng, their eyes filled with dread.

"Young master, quickly leave. This lord is a great cultivator that has yet to reach the Soul Refining stage. He is a great figure on the same level as the Patriarch!"

Bai He's complexion instantly changed. He originally thought that his name would be renowned throughout the world after coming out of the family. He didn't expect that the first time he was prepared to make a move, he would kick a metal board. He gritted his teeth as he led the three of them and quickly left. However, Hong Ling could feel the arrogance on his body. However, Hong Ling didn't want to make a move for the time being, because the people who would be the first to make a move, were usually helping others.

"Dammit, how could this guy have the protection of a great cultivator that can refine the spirit but is still hollow? He's simply cheating!" Bai He who was standing below the restaurant stared hatefully at Hong Ling who was leaning on the railing and tasting the fine wine, flames about to spew out of his eyes. At this moment, his heart was sour and bitter, he could not believe that his clan had only sent out three late stage Qi Refinement into Spirit s to act as his guards. However, the first youth he met had actually had a grand cultivator that was only at the Spirit Refinement realm to protect him. The huge difference between the two of them had caused Bai He to feel upset. Since when did a Spirit Refinement cultivator become a willing servant?

For a few days, people kept on looking for him, but they were all sent away by Hong Ling. Very quickly, after a careful inquiry, everyone came to know that the youth that lived in the Eternity Restaurant was precisely the person in charge of this year's Martial Competition. Amidst everyone's praises, they could not help but feel a deep jealousy towards Hong Ling. A youth who had the protection of a great spirit refining cultivator was truly too eye-catching. Even Young City Lord Lian Chengyu himself, who possessed Tianhuang City, did not receive such treatment. This made everyone even more curious about Hong Ling's birth. However, Hong Ling's life was just like a mystery, even his City Lord's Mansion was unable to detect any clues.

In the private room, in front of Hong Ling, a diamond shaped crystal the size of a lychee quietly floated. The milky-white Spiritual Power was currently being continuously extracted from within and pouring into Hong Ling's limbs and bones, being refined into a pure Authentic Qi by him. This was the low rank spirit stone that Hong Ling had obtained from the spatial rings of the four elders from the Four Major Sects. After all, Hong Ling had just broken through to Qi Refinement into Spirit not too long ago, and currently, he urgently needed to consolidate his own cultivation, so as to not be at a disadvantage during the Heaven Assembly Trial.

Kacha, the spirit stone in front of him shattered into a pile of powder and landed on the ground in front of him. With a thought, Hong Ling took out another spirit stone, and then refined the Spiritual Power inside it. One after another, the spirit stones turned into fine powder, and Hong Ling's cultivation began to slowly consolidate. Three days later, Hong Ling's spatial ring had been completely used up of over a thousand spirit stones. The young man exhaled a cloud of turbid white Qi, stood up, and brought Canfeng downstairs.

"Young master, the young master of Lian City sent someone to deliver the invitation, I hope young master can come to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss the important matter!" Canfeng took out a golden invitation card and handed it over to Hong Ling.

Hong Ling casually opened the invitation and kept it, a smile flashing past his eyes. Lian Chengyu had sent over an invitation at this critical moment, stating that many of the hermit clan's heaven's pride level experts were already gathered at City Lord's Mansion. It was obvious that they wanted him to join in on the fun, which meant that he was going to look for someone to work with.

"Since Young Master has personally invited us, we naturally cannot be negligent. Prepare the carriage, we will go meet with the heaven's pride level experts of the underworld who are gathered in City Lord's Mansion!" Hong Ling didn't have much of an aversion towards Lian Chengyu, and because of his relationship with Lian Chengyue, every time he saw Lian Chengyu, he would feel as if he was seeing his own uncle. Even Canfeng would subconsciously think highly of Lian Chengyu when he saw him, mainly because Lian Chengyu was extremely likely to become his son's relative.

"Young master, I heard that the old man who brought Miss Lian Cheng away was giving City Lord's Mansion two pellets that could change one's aptitude. From what I know, the current Young Lord of Lian City seems to have broken through the seventh level of World Barrier and his maid Zhihuo also appeared to be like this.

Canfeng told Hong Ling all the information he had, causing the youth's gaze to go cold. The power that could so casually send out a pill to raise a cultivator's aptitude definitely contained a power that could not be compared with any other power that Hong Ling had come into contact with. Hong Ling believed that once Lian Chengyue's talent was exposed after returning to the clan, he would be highly valued. Even in the era of the Ancient Desolate King, people who could break through the barrier of the Tenth Heaven, and even devour fated star above the 33 Layered Heavens, were almost peerless heaven's pride experts of the same generation. Then, would Lian Chengyue, who was in the other world, become so strong that the gap between her and Hong Ling would be like a chasm?

Hong Ling did not dare to continue thinking about it. At this moment, he could only do his best to see what was happening before him. Only then would he have the power to face the challenges of the future. However, no matter how strong the power Lian Chengyue possessed was, Hong Ling himself was not someone to be trifled with. With his talent and bloodline, he was confident that he could compete with anyone, on the premise that he could smoothly grow up.

Lian Chengyu sat in the great hall of the City Lord's Mansion, beside her stood the charming Zhihuo, the two of them had extremely tyrannical auras, adding that they were a perfect couple, they were simply a perfect pair. At this time, Lian Chengyu had once again become a heaven's pride expert who looked down upon his peers. After his natural talent increased from the Fifth Heavenly Layer to the Seventh Heavenly Layer, his strength had once again risen to another level. In addition to the fact that he had comprehended sword intent, it caused Lian Chengyu's strength to be among the top of the bunch, even among the younger generation in Tianhuang City. However, the more it was like this, the more Lian Chengyu was wary of the youth who destroyed the testing crystal.

He had merely raised his talent to the seventh stage, however, it could already be said that he was looking down on his peers, so what about Hong Ling who had shattered the test crystal? Now that he had also been promoted to the realm of Qi Refinement into Spirit, just how powerful would he be? Not only did he have this thought, even the Zhihuo who had a completely different identity was thinking the same thing. Hong Ling's talent was definitely above the both of them. Even if he had already broken through the seventh stage of the World Barrier, they still could not shatter the testing crystal.

That Hong Ling fellow is truly a monster!" Lian Chengyu muttered. He was currently dressed in green and had an elegant demeanor, but when he saw Hong Ling enter the main hall, he was still somewhat stunned. From Lian Chengyu's perception, he could tell that Hong Ling's originally somewhat weak cultivation level was now incomparably high, causing him to nearly drop his jaw in shock. Once a cultivator advanced to the Qi Refining stage, it was almost impossible to improve in a short period of time. In addition, the higher the innate talent, the harder it was for them to raise their cultivation. However, Hong Ling had only been gone for half a month. His cultivation had already completely stabilized at the early stage of the Qi Refining stage. This made Lian Chengyu cry out that it was impossible.

"Hong Ling, you're here! Come quickly, sit over here!" Lian Chengyu stood up with a smile, and smiled at Hong Ling, as if he was his first uncle looking at his brother-in-law.

When Hong Ling saw that the seat that he was pointing to was right beside the main seat, his heart skipped a beat. That position was the only one that showed his identity the most apart from the main seat. Once he sat on it, it would definitely attract the attention of others. However, seeing that there was already a youngster slightly older than him sitting on a seat opposite of him, Hong Ling didn't continue to be courteous. He wasn't afraid of the stage no matter what.

As expected, there were quite a few experts in the underworld clans with Tianhuang City. Hong Ling subconsciously took a glance around, and discovered that there were at least fifty people here, and they were all cultivators of the early stages of Qi Refinement into Spirit. If this was only cultivators that had not yet reached twenty years of age, then how many cultivators were there in the Qi Refinement into Spirit that had exceeded that age? Hong Ling almost did not dare to imagine it.

You are Hong Ling? The champion of this year's Heavenly Desolate Martial Meet? And the young man who possesses a cultivation of the Spirit Refinement Realm and is a great cultivator that has yet to reach the Emptiness Realm? " The young cultivator sitting across Hong Ling asked with an arrogant tone. He was a bit unhappy with a cultivator like Hong Ling. "This youngster who was even younger than him actually wanted to bring a spirit refining and hollow dao protector when he was away. What a waste.

"It's me. What can I do for you?" Hong Ling frowned, his tone slightly displeased. He did not like the condescending, arrogant tone of the other party.

Not exactly, but it's okay!" "Go down and find yourself a seat. Your current position is not one that a person like you can sit in!" The cultivator picked up the teacup with one hand and the other with the other with the other with the other with the other with the other.
