Chapter 576: The Guide to the Great Thousand World

Later that evening, Xiao Ming and Ying Huanhuan slowly descended the hill, with the latter's aura still somewhat unstable.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"Master, why did you put the Ancestral Stone back again? It's the second-ranked divine item on the Ancient Divine Item List! Are you really just letting it go like that?" Ying Huanhuan's face was filled with distress.

Such a waste! This Master of hers was really too extravagant! If he didn't want it, he could have just given it to her. She wouldn't have minded at all!

"The Ancestral Stone places a heavy emphasis on compatibility. If the compatibility isn't high, taking it won't be of much use," Xiao Ming said indifferently.

The Ancestral Stone was of no use to him, and likewise, it wouldn't be of much use to Ying Huanhuan either. Furthermore, he gained a deep understanding of the Symbol Master profession by studying the Ancestral Stone, a culmination of the Symbol Ancestor's thoughts. He could eventually create his own Ancestral Stone if he so desired. Therefore, he decided to put it back.

Ying Huanhuan shook her head in disbelief. Even if their compatibility wasn't high, he could have let someone else try instead of just leaving it behind, right?

Wasn't she supposed to be the capricious one here? Why did her Master's actions seem even more capricious than hers?

Lost in thought but continuing her steps, Ying Huanhuan followed Xiao Ming down from the top of the cliff. By the time they reached the middle of the hill, they had come upon some familiar faces.

"Big Brother, you're coming down the hill!"

Xiao Ming and Ying Huanhuan heard the call and turned around to see the young boy they had met earlier, Lin Dong. He was wearing training clothes and practicing martial arts with his father, Lin Xiao, while Qing Tan was sitting not far away.

Upon noticing Xiao Ming and Ying Huanhuan, the father and son duo stopped their martial arts practice, and Qing Tan quickly ran over to them.

"Mr. Xiao, did you find what you were looking for?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.

"Fortunately, I did," Xiao Ming replied with a light laugh.

"In that case, I would like to congratulate Mr. Xiao. By the way, Mr. Xiao, you lent a helping hand this morning, and I haven't had a chance to thank you properly. Please, come to my humble abode. I would like to host a small banquet in your honor."

Xiao Ming was a bit surprised by the sudden warmth in Lin Xiao's tone. This morning, Lin Xiao had been as cautious as if he were guarding against a thief. Now, he had become so hospitable all of a sudden?

In the midst of his surprise, Xiao Ming noticed Lin Xiao glancing at Qing Tan, whose cheeks were flushed, and the happy expression on Lin Dong's face. He had a hint of understanding in his mind. However, he still chose not to accept the invitation.

"The sky is getting dark, and it might be inconvenient."

"I was just thinking about the information regarding Qing Tan's special constitution. In fact, it's a top-tier Yin-natured body. The flare-ups of chilling cold are simply due to it not being properly controlled."

Lin Xiao and his family were overjoyed to hear this. Lin Dong, who was especially excited, asked, "Can Big Brother solve this constitution issue?"

"It's not difficult to do so," Xiao Ming explained, "Even removing this constitution is possible. However, since it's a top-tier constitution, I don't recommend doing that. With the right guidance, Qing Tan could break through to the initial Yuan Dan Stage in less than a year. Becoming one of the strongest in this world is only a matter of time."

Lin Dong and Lin Xiao were thrilled by this revelation. They had originally thought that Qing Tan's condition was a disease, but they had never imagined that she was such a great genius!

What was the concept of breaking through the initial Yuan Dan Stage in less than a year?

The most talented person they had heard of was Lin Langtian from the main family.

He started cultivating at the age of 10, broke through to the Tempered Body 9th Layer at 12, entered the Earthly Yuan Stage at 14, advanced to the Heavenly Yuan Stage at 15, and at the age of 20, the Yuan Power in his body exchanged Yin and Yang, and finally succeeded in forming a Dan.

He leaped like a carp transforming into a dragon, becoming one of the rare few in the Great Yan Empire who had ever formed a Yuan Dan before the age of 30!

It was this Lin Langtian who had defeated Lin Xiao in a single move at the clan gathering ten years ago!

Yet Qing Tan could achieve such a feat in merely a year, making her many times more talented than him!

Even if Mr. Xiao's words were somewhat exaggerated, Qing Tan's constitution was undeniably extraordinary.

Xiao Ming was not surprised to see Lin Xiao and his son's keen interest in Qing Tan's potential to reach the initial Yuan Dan Stage that quickly. He had mentioned it that way on purpose. Lin Dong had not yet risen to the top, and their perspective was still limited to the small Qingyang Town. They didn't have much of a concept of higher cultivation stages.

When Qing Tan saw the joyous expressions on the father and son duo, she smiled as well. However, her smile was not for her own happiness. In fact, she didn't particularly enjoy cultivating. She was happy simply because her family was happy.

Lin Dong suppressed his excitement and asked, "Then, can Big Brother take Qing Tan as a disciple?"

He was quite clever not to ask where Qing Tan could find a Master. After all, what would they do if that place was too far away? Instead, he asked directly if Xiao Ming could accept Qing Tan as his disciple. He had a hunch that the extraordinary-looking 'Big Brother' in front of him was an incredibly powerful figure.

Xiao Ming, upon hearing this, subconsciously touched the little head of his first disciple beside him.

'Why does it seem like I came to the Tian Xuan Continent just to accept disciples...'
