Chapter 66: Another Display of Power

  Lü Su'e?

  Zhou Heng immediately understood why the beautiful woman was staring at him with such a strong killing intent, and it turned out that she was the mother of Jin Xiulang's brothers!

  "Niu Shixiong, shouldn't she be almost sixty years old? How come she looks so young?" Lin Fengxiang asked hastily. As a woman, especially a beauty, she naturally attaches great importance to her appearance.

  According to the rules of Heishui Temple, only those who break through the Jiling boundary can become inner temple disciples. Logically speaking, this time there should have been only one person, Zhou Heng, who met the requirements. However, Jing Tian and Lin Fuxiang's situations were both special: one had seen the opportunity to break through before turning twenty, while the other had a grandfather who was a White Silver Elder, so they were both absorbed as inner temple disciples, on par with Niu Leping.

  Niu Li didn't dare to slack off in front of Lin Fengxiang, and the White Silver Elder in the Black Water Temple had a lot of power. "She must have taken the Ever Spring Pill when she was young, which can keep her youthful appearance!"

  "Wow!" Lin Xiang suddenly showed a look of admiration and envy, her beautiful eyes fixed on Zhou Heng's body.

  What's the point of looking at him? Zhou Heng was taken aback, but thinking that Lin Fengxiang's beauty would be a waste if it were ravaged by time, he nodded and said, "If I get the chance, I'll get one for you!"

  Lin Fengxiang suddenly smiled sweetly, thinking that this silly boy actually had a considerate moment, but didn't know it wasn't the case at all.

  Lü Su'e's eyes were cold and piercing, staring tightly at Zhou Heng. After a while, she reached out to wipe her neck with one hand, making a wiping motion, turned around and left, her figure quickly disappearing into the white walls and black tiles.

  "Huh? Brother Zhou, didn't you offend her before?" Niu Li turned his head towards Zhou Heng.

  "There was a bit of a small incident!" Zhou Heng lightly brushed it off.

  "You'd better be careful, Lü Su'e is a disciple of Zhu Xuan's, and it's said... heh heh, you know what I mean. If it's just a small matter, you'd best prepare some gifts to apologize to her, or else there'll be endless trouble!" Niu Li said - not many people in the Black Water Temple knew that Lü Su'e was the mother of Jin Xiulang and his brothers.

  Do you understand?

  Zhou Heng didn't understand at first, until he saw Lin Fengxiang blush and then realized that Lv Su'e had encountered the same situation as Bai Yugu, being taken to bed by her master!

  It's a pity for this woman, but the feud between Zhou Heng and her cannot be resolved. The hatred of killing one's child is heart-wrenching, even if those two sons were not born by Lv Su'e's will.

  Make amends with a gift? Easy, just send Zhou Heng's head over and this grudge will naturally be dissolved!

  Unfortunately, Zhou Heng showed no intention of yielding his position as the top student.

  Then let's have a fight!

  In the Black Water Temple, it is also forbidden for fellow disciples to kill each other. Therefore, when he was in the Black Water Temple, Lü Su'e could only give him a hard time, and only after he left could she make her move against him, and even then, she couldn't let others know about it!

  Zhou Heng sneered inwardly. Lv Su'e wanted to kill him, and he didn't mind taking out the last person related to the Jin family, eliminating any future troubles.

  The cow led the three people to take out their identity tokens, which were much higher than those of the Jiuling Sect. The token had a small array that could truly distinguish each person's identity and also had a recording function, with specific merits and demerits.

  Like Jiǔ Líng Zōng, Hēi Shuǐ Diàn also has a contribution value system, which is recorded on the Identity Token. Contribution value can be exchanged for martial skills, internal skills, and elixirs, but most importantly, it can also be exchanged for Spirit Stones.

  "Niu Shixiong, what is a Ling Stone?" Zhou Heng asked, not understanding and not pretending to understand.

  "After entering the realm of gathering spirits, it's about absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. You should know that the thicker the spiritual energy is, the faster the cultivation will be! And the spirit stone is a gift from heaven and earth, it's solidified spiritual energy, extremely thick, can double the speed of cultivation!" Niu Licheng said without hesitation, anyway this wasn't some kind of secret.

  Doubled again! That's three times the normal cultivation speed!

  Others may need ten years to reach the peak of a realm, but with a spiritual stone, it would only take three years or more!

  Although it's not the accumulation of cultivation that has been advancing the martial artist since the Congregation Realm, but rather the breakthrough of their realm. However, the shorter the time needed to accumulate cultivation, the more time can be used to break through realms, which is equally significant!

  "Niu Shixiong, I heard that Ling Stones also have different grades, is that true?" Lin Fengxiang interrupted.

  "Not bad, the Spirit Stones are divided into four grades, with the highest being the Extreme Grade, followed by the High Grade, then the Medium Grade and the Low Grade! The Spirit Stones we can obtain are only of the Low Grade, which can increase our cultivation speed by two times. The Medium Grade Spirit Stone is three times, the High Grade is five times, and the Extreme Grade is ten times!"

  Tenfold!

  Even someone like Ren Jing Tian, who seemed lazy and unflappable, couldn't help but reveal a hint of shock.

  "Moreover, it's said that the top-grade spirit stone is extremely pure, and absorbing its spiritual energy can even allow one to communicate with heaven and earth, comprehend the great dao, and long-term use of this spirit stone for cultivation would be equivalent to merging with the dao, greatly reducing the difficulty of breaking through!"

  Is there such an amazing effect?

  Lin Feng immediately said: "Niu Shixiong, how can we get the top-grade spirit stone?"

  "Lin Shimei, you're thinking too much!" Niu Li smiled wryly. "The entire Han Cang country only has one low-grade spiritual stone mine, which is controlled by the Tian Xing Sect. The spiritual stones we get are all exchanged for spirit grass and precious iron!"

  "What a rare and precious spirit stone! It's said that even on the entire continent, it's extremely hard to come by. I don't know which superpower has control over it, but without a strong expert at the Divine Infant Realm level to guard it, it's simply impossible to keep it safe!" Niu Li sighed and shook his head.

  "Never mind, never mind. Let's start with the low-grade spirit stone first. Once we've cultivated the ultimate divine technique, we can go after the top-grade spirit stone!" Lin Fengxiang said in a very bandit-like manner.

  Zhou Heng and Jing Tian both smiled slightly, with a fierce battle intent flashing in their eyes. They were not intimidated by the strong God Infant Realm cultivators, but instead, their battle intent was ignited a hundredfold.

  Niu Li couldn't help but smile wryly. These two guys were indeed fearless like newborn calves not afraid of tigers! However, these two were also truly abnormal - one had seen the opportunity to break through to the Congregating Spirit Realm before the age of twenty, and the other was even more terrifying, already in the Congregating Spirit Realm!

  Who knows if these two can really defy the heavens!

  "Come on, I'll take you to where we're staying!"

  "Sorry to trouble you, Master Niu!"

  The cow led the three people to a huge courtyard, which was divided into small courtyards, each with its own gate and planted with all kinds of flowers, like a paradise on earth.

  The three of them were each allocated an independent courtyard, interconnected with one another. Lin Fengxiang chose the middle one, while Zhou Heng and Jing Tian took the left and right ones respectively, as if they were this young lady's bodyguards.

  After everything was arranged, Niu Li bid farewell and left. Zhou Heng and the other two saw him off, sending him all the way to the outermost gate of the courtyard before waving goodbye.

  They had just turned around and wanted to go back, but saw a young man of about 27 or 28 years old walking towards them, wearing a strong suit, with a spirited and vigorous appearance.

  "My name is Bi Hecheng!" He stopped at a distance of one zhang from Zhou Heng and the other two, "Which one of you is Zhou Heng?"

  "What advice do you have?" Zhou Heng took a step forward.

  "Ah, it's you!" Bi Hecheng shook his head and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. "Let me tell you some bad news, you've offended Master Lv's sister, so I'm going to teach you a good lesson!"

  Lü Shi Jie? Lü Su E! This woman is indeed unwilling to be obedient!

  It's just that Bei and Cheng are a bit too weak!

  Zhou Heng waved his hand and said, "You're not my opponent, just stand aside and don't look for trouble!"

  What!

  Bi He and Cheng Qi's seven orifices emitted smoke, he was an existence at the peak of the first realm of Jiling, and had already set foot in the second realm of Jiling. He could look down on his peers with pride, yet he was actually looked down upon by a younger junior!

  Originally, he just wanted to please Lv Su-e, but now he is really angry!

  "I originally only intended to break one of your hands, but now I've decided to break both! It's for the best, that way I won't have to consider whether to break your left hand or right hand!" Bijou said with a grin.

  At this time, many small courtyards had already come out with people, some walked over, and others stood on the wall, all of whom were beings in the realm of gathering spirits, with different ages, both male and female.

  They were naturally all inner disciples of Hei Shui Dian and were completely nonchalant about the sudden battle at the entrance, instead revealing an expression as if they were watching a show.

  Every time there are new inner disciples, this scene will definitely be staged. This is to give newcomers a warning, so they won't become arrogant and complacent.

  "It's Bi Hecheng again, this guy is quite ruthless!"

  "That's natural, this person has a narrow mind and must take revenge. When he first came in, he was taught a lesson by Shifu Water. He didn't dare to challenge Shifu Water, every time he would vent his anger on the new junior brothers and sisters!"

  "But Bi He and Cheng Tian have very high innate talents, and in just two years after entering the temple, they went from being at the initial stage of the first heaven of Jiling to reaching the peak, and even saw hope for a breakthrough!"

  "Uh-oh, his opponent is in trouble!"

  In the midst of all this discussion, Bi He and Cheng had already taken big strides forward towards Zhou Heng, while Jing Tian and Lin Fengxiang voluntarily retreated. They weren't worried about Zhou Heng because Jin Xiulóng wasn't at the same level as Jí Líng's peak, and Zhou Heng hadn't even used his full strength to defeat him!

  Zhou Heng's eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent, and he secretly lamented that it was a pity he couldn't kill anyone in the Black Water Temple.

  Frustrated!

  Since you've made me depressed, you'll be even more miserable!

  "Little kid, let you see——" Bi Hecheng was still preparing to say a lengthy pre-battle declaration, but didn't expect Zhou Heng to directly attack him. Before he could react, a massive fist came hurtling towards his face.

  Boom!

  He was knocked flying.

  After a brief silence, bursts of laughter erupted from all around. Who would have thought that Bi Hecheng's attempt to act cool would backfire?

  "Bastard!" Bi and Cheng jumped up, after all, he was a Spirit Gathering First Heaven Peak, if Zhou Heng didn't use the Black Sword, or mobilize his Bloodline's power, one strike wouldn't be enough to knock him down.

  "Haven't you learned your lesson yet?" Zhou Heng said coldly and pounced out.
