Chapter 313: Ling Xueqing

Lin Qing was about to reach the cave, but the octopus demon was too fast. Lin Qing's face changed drastically, and before he could react, a huge tentacle slapped him and Ling Fellow Daoist.

Lin Qing's water shield took the hit, but it immediately shattered. However, Lin Qing quickly conjured a new water shield.

What he didn't expect was that, despite being unharmed by the slap, he had been pushed towards the cave. Lin Qing's hand had already touched the blue light in the cave.

To his horror, his spiritual energy rapidly drained from his body, seemingly drawn towards the blue light.

For a moment, the blue light absorbed Lin Qing's spiritual energy and shone brightly underwater, spanning over ten zhang. The octopus demon hesitated for a moment, as if witnessing something terrifying, before immediately fleeing the scene.

However, Lin Qing and Ling Fellow Daoist were sucked into the blue light and fell into the cave.

Inside was nothing but a three-zhang-sized cave, with only a stone table and stone stools.

As soon as they entered the cave, Lin Qing, who had lost all his spiritual energy, fell to the ground.

"Hmm?"

Just as Lin Qing, filled with anxiety, was about to immediately restore some spiritual energy, he was startled when he looked at the person beneath him.

It was indeed Ling Fellow Daoist. Throughout the process of absorbing Lin Qing's spiritual energy, Ling Fellow Daoist, who had been holding onto Lin Qing tightly, had absorbed all of it. As a result, the disguise he had been using with his cultivation technique was revealed.

It turned out to be a woman, and a beautiful one at that. At this moment, her delicate expression carried a natural charm.

"Disguised as a man? No, it should be a cultivation technique, and a highly advanced one at that." Lin Qing immediately understood the reason. If it were just a woman disguised as a man, it would never have fooled his spiritual sense.

With her true female identity restored, Ling Fellow Daoist couldn't move under Lin Qing's pressure.

Facing this senior expert, Ling Fellow Daoist didn't dare to say much and could only silently look at Lin Qing. Lin Qing, on the other hand, took a deep breath. Ling Fellow Daoist's body was incredibly soft, like water. With just a slight pressure, he could feel everything, making him somewhat indulgent in tenderness.

But when he thought of the octopus outside, Lin Qing quickly regained his senses and got up.

As he got up from Ling Fellow Daoist's body, their bodies unavoidably touched. Ling Fellow Daoist's face turned red, and even Lin Qing felt a little embarrassed.

After getting up, there was still a trace of spiritual energy in the cave. Lin Qing immediately absorbed it and then opened his storage bag, taking out a high-grade spirit stone that he hadn't used before to restore himself.

While Lin Qing was recovering, Ling Fellow Daoist also sat up. He was still dressed as a male cultivator, but now that she had regained her female form, it seemed a bit oversized.

Wanting to learn from Lin Qing and restore her spiritual energy, Ling Fellow Daoist frowned after a short while.

There was no spiritual energy in the cave at all.

Seeing her expression, Lin Qing took out a spirit stone and tossed it to her. "Use this one to restore yourself first."

"Yes, senior."

After receiving Lin Qing's spiritual stone, the woman immediately recovered. As for why she couldn't absorb any spiritual energy, it was because Lin Qing had already absorbed all of the spiritual energy from the Gold Core. How could she, with only a Purple Mansion, absorb even a bit?

After a quarter of an hour, some spiritual energy had been restored in her body. Lin Qing thought of the octopus monster and immediately got up to look outside.

To his delight, it seemed that the octopus monster didn't dare to come here. It just watched from a distance without any intention of approaching. He could reach through the blue light with his arm, and the blue light didn't hinder him.

While Lin Qing was observing, Ling Fellow Daoist next to him also recovered a bit. Curiously, she asked, "May I ask, senior, where are we? How did we end up underwater?"

Facing her question, Lin Qing couldn't avoid answering since they had just made contact. He said, "I don't know either, but based on my guess, this should be the place of a senior expert. As for that monster, it's probably the senior's spiritual beast. It was probably restricted before, so it didn't dare to come in."

Lin Qing's words were just speculation, but undoubtedly the most likely possibility. Ling Fellow Daoist nodded after hearing it.

"Then, senior, do you know when we can leave?" Ling Fellow Daoist asked again.

Lin Qing shook his head and looked at the octopus monster outside, which was in a defensive posture. He didn't know the answer to this question either. It would be best to restore all of his spiritual power.

Before restoring it, he turned to Ling Fellow Daoist and became curious. "What kind of cultivation technique are you using? I can't even see a trace of it."

Being asked by Lin Qing, Ling Fellow Daoist felt a little embarrassed and said, "Senior, because I am a woman, I entered the path of cultivation to prevent other male cultivators from bothering me. I diligently practiced several disguising techniques. After becoming a Purple Mansion, I refined these techniques into one, which is even more powerful. It's normal that senior can't see it. As for what the technique is, the original ones are all there, but I don't even know what it is after refining it."

"I see." Lin Qing didn't ask her for the original techniques. He was just curious and asked.

At this moment, looking at Ling Fellow Daoist, who had a beautiful appearance and a hint of charm, Lin Qing could understand. After all, a female cultivator like her would definitely attract the attention of many male cultivators. It was understandable.

For some reason, Lin Qing suddenly thought of the scene just now and was moved for a moment.

"By the way, you said you are a wandering cultivator. Where do you cultivate?" Lin Qing asked again.

"Senior, both Zhao Fellow Daoist and Wang Fellow Daoist, who were with me before, are also wandering cultivators. The three of us practiced in Tianyun Cave, which is 4,000 miles away from here. It is a holy land for wandering cultivators in a radius of tens of thousands of miles. Although it is called Tianyun Cave, it is actually similar to a city. There are five Purple Mansion stage cultivators there, including me and the other two Fellow Daoists, as well as one in the mid-Purple Mansion stage."

Hearing this, Lin Qing secretly marveled at the prosperity of the cultivation world in this Zhongyun State. Not only were there wandering cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage, but there were also as many as five in just one Tianyun Cave. It was unimaginable in the Zhao Kingdom.

Lin Qing nodded and curiously asked, "I wonder what your full name is? Is your surname Ling? Don't tell me even your surname is a disguise."

Hearing Lin Qing's words, Ling Fellow Daoist smiled embarrassedly and said, "Senior, you're worrying too much. My surname is indeed Ling, and my full name is Ling Xueqing."

"A good name." Lin Qing nodded.

At this moment, Ling Xueqing asked again, "I don't know how to address you, senior?"

"Just call me Senior Lin." Lin Qing said.

"Yes, Senior Lin." Facing Lin Qing, Ling Xueqing was extremely obedient. After all, not to mention that Lin Qing's cultivation level far surpassed hers, even if she wanted to escape from here now, she had to rely on Lin Qing. Looking at the octopus monster outside, which was in a defensive posture, and thinking about its power just now, Ling Xueqing's face turned pale again.
