Boom!

  A bolt of lightning struck!

  A torrential downpan!

  The rain fell in dense sheets!

  Amidst this seemingly apocalyptic rain, a man and a woman were making their way through.

  Yesterday, iemple, Lin Hao and his panion hadn't gotten enough rest, and their spiritual energy hadn't fully recovered.

  Moreover, after traveling through the rain all night, Ning Qingxue was starting to feel exhausted.

  Seeing the beauty retract her spiritual energy and her clothes gradually getting soaked, Lin Hao hurried forward and tossed out a water-repelling talisman.

  "Thank you."

  Ning Qingxue was someone who distinguished clearly between gratitude and grievances, never hesitating to express thanks when due.

  "It's nothing. We're fellow disciples; we should look out for each other when we're out."

  These words brought a slight warmth to Ning Qingxue's heart.

  However, the warmth sted only a sed before she felt the man's gaze drifting over her.

  She realized her clothes might bee slightly transparent whe, and she uood the man's little thoughts.

  "Hmph!"

  With a cold snort, she transformed into a streak of light and fled far away.

  "Hey, Fairy Ning, why are you running again? Wait for me!"

  Lin Hao hurriedly chased after her.

  The two flew hundreds of miles through the rain, which showed no sign of letting up, and they had already used three water-repelling talismans.

  Suddenly, Ning Qiopped. This was the pce reted to her mission, where the identity token of the missing fellow disciple was st seen.

  Her beautiful eyes sed the surroundings but found nothing, mainly because the rain was too heavy to duy iigation.

  Lin Hao caught up and stood beside her.

  "Fairy Ning, the rain is too heavy to find any clues. Let's e back when it stops."

  Ning Qingxue nodded coldly, feeling unfortable in her soaked clothes.

  She remembered that there should be a seearby, a subsidiary of the Xuan Yi.

  This sect was called the Qingyu, and its leader was a Golden Elixir cultivator.

  They could take shelter there, avoid the rain, and gather some information.

  The two immediately transformed into streaks of light and flew towards the Qingyu.

  As soon as Lin Hao and Ning Qiepped into the Qingyu's mountain gate, a male and a female cultivator approached on flying swords.

  "Who are you, and what is your purpose here?" The male cultivator, slightly higher in cultivation, asked loudly.

  Ning Qingxue didn't waste words and directly took out a token.

  The faces of the two Qingyu cultivators ged instantly, almost bowing to the ground, and they said respectfully, "We didn't know the esteemed cultivators were visiting; please five us for not weling you from afar!"

  These two cultivators were only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and they couldn't help but tremble in the presence of such high-level cultivators.

  "Bring out your sect leader," Ning Qingxue's voice was cold as ice, exuding the demeanor of someone in a superior position.

  The two cultivators dared not show any dissatisfa and quickly returo the sect to fetch their leader.

  Moments ter.

  An elder in a green robe flew out from the sect.

  "I, Wang gqing, greet the esteemed cultivators."

  Lin Hao's eyelid twitched slightly, thinking to himself: This old man is quite senior, yet only at the Golden Elixir stage, though his name is quite imposing.

  gqing.

  Does it meaernal youth in the Immortal Path?

  Although Wang gqing's cultivation was higher than Lin Hao and Ning Qingxue's, his attitude was extremely respectful, almost like a junior.

  It wasn't his fault; if it were just people from the Xuan Yi, he wouldn't be so humble.

  The main reason was that these twolden Elixir seeds of the Xuan Yi, with araordinary status.

  He couldn't afford to offend them.

  Uhe elder's wele, the two ehe Qingyu.

  Wang gqing asked cautiously, "I wonder if there's anything our sect assist the esteemed cultivators with?"

  "Have you seen this person?"

  Ning Qiook out a rec stone, which taihe image of the missing fellow disciple.

  After viewing the rec stone, Wang gqing replied without hesitatioeemed cultivator, Zhang stayed in our sect for two days but left ten days ago. What happened?"

  "Oh, he disappeared, or he might be dead."

  "Dead?" Wang gqing was shocked, his beard trembling, aammered, "What... what happened?"

  "I was going to ask you!" Ning Qingxue's eyes carried a hint of ess as she said, "He disappeared around here. Did you notiything unusual?"

  "No... no... I haven't received aed news."

  Seeing that nothing useful could be extracted from the elder, Ning Qingxue coldly said, "Prepare two upper rooms for us."

  "Yes."

  The elder quickly instructed his disciples to make arras.

  "Esteemed cultivators, please move to the guest hall for a short rest while I have a spiritual feast prepared."

  "No need," Lin Hao deed directly, then said, "Sect Leader Wang, I wonder if the awakening crystal in your sect is avaible for use."

  A fsh of surprise crossed Wang gqing's eyes; he didn't know why the other party was asking this, but he still replied respectfully, "It be used."

  "Take me there."

  Wang gqing dared not dey and quickly led the way.

  Ning Qingxue frowned slightly, w why this rascal was ied in the awakening crystal. Did he want to test his own stitution? Why not test it in the sect?

  Her heart was full of doubts, so she decided to follow and see.

  As they walked, they didn't see a single disciple, which made Ning Qingxue frown.

  The Qingyu gave her an overall strange feeling. It was somewhat eerie.

  Without much time to think, the three arrived at a quiet chamber.

  The Qingyu didn't have many disciples, and the awakening ceremony was held only once every three years, so the crystal was covered in dust.

  "Esteemed cultivators, this is our sect's awakening crystal."

  "Okay, you leave now."

  "Yes."

  Wang gqing plied.

  Lin Hao gnced bad saw Ning Qig him with folded arms. He thought to himself that the sect's higher-ups probably already knew his stitution but kept it from him.

  So there was o hide it from this woman.

  He pced his palm on the crystal, and shortly after, it burst into brilliant light!

  The crystal was enveloped in a scarlet fme, causing the temperature in the chamber to rise suddenly.

  A wave of heat hit them, and Ning Qingxue was astohis rascal's stitution could cause such a otion?

  After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

  The scarlet fme dissipated, and fe characters appeared on the crystal.

  Pure Yang Body!

  Such a stitution!

  Both were shocked.

  Lin Hao knew his stitution was extraordinary, but he hadn't expected it to be the Pure Yang Body!

  This stitution was one of the top immortal bodies in the cultivation world, beiremely yang and domineering, requiring the yin energy of women to bance, making it suitable for dual cultivation.

  No wonder his cultivation speed was so fast on the dual cultivation path!

  However, a doubt arose in his heart.

  With such a good stitution, why did the sect keep it a secret?

  If it was to protect him from being targeted by rival sects, they should have hidden and nurtured him.

  But the sect let him fight for his life in the cultivation world, which didn't seem like prote!

  uzzled him most was that his master should have discovered his stitutiht?

  Why hadn't it beeioned?

  Filled with questions, Lin Hao couldn't wait to return to the sed ask his master for crification.
