Chapter 257 - Half-step Jindan

"Patriarch!"

Upon seeing the newcomers, the Ling Family members were greatly shocked, immediately standing up and shouting.

The person was dressed simply, with a stooped back, and a head of white hair. At first glance, he gave off the impression that he was an old man in his forties or eighties, with one foot in the coffin. However, his aura and steps were calm and powerful, neither hurried nor impatient.

On Qiankun Continent, the lifespan of warriors below the Innate Realm was around 60 to 70 years, but when the Innate Realm reached the Innate Realm, the lifespan of warriors below the Innate Realm would increase exponentially, and it would not be difficult to live for 150 years. When the warriors reach the Core Formation Stage, their lifespan would exceed 300 years.

Once one reached the Innate Realm, it could delay aging, and even 10% of the Jindan Stage could greatly delay aging.

The upper echelons of the Ling Family only looked to be around fifty or sixty years old, but their actual age was more than seventy. There were even some who were close to a hundred years old.

The actual age of the Ling Family's Ancestor was probably over one hundred and fifty years old, and his Jindan cultivation was comparable to a first transition. If there were no surprises, he could live another hundred years, and in terms of seniority, he would at least be Ling Yan's grandfather.

Although the cultivation environment of the Lingyun City was better than that of the Tianhe City and White Sand City, it was still very limited. Once one reached the Jindan Stage, it was even impossible to advance within a hundred years.

It was true that there was a limit to one's talent, but most of the factors were still cultivation resources.

In the large Ling Family, there were a lot of high-level Xiantian master, but only Ling Yan could be considered to be half a step into the Jindan Stage.

In his body, there were 12 main meridians, and one of them had a main channel that had the true energy liquefied into true energy, which was called the half-step golden core. In battle, one could directly use true essence without needing to use the liquid true energy again, but without a golden core to replenish the true essence, the main channel would have less true essence, and after using it, one's cultivation would drop to the half-step golden core.

For a peak Xiantian master, the Zhen Qi in the meridians had already been saturated, and the meridians were basically shaped, making it difficult to expand any further. If one wanted to advance further, they would need to continuously compress and liquefy their Zhen Qi, making it into true essence. However, even with the speed at which their true qi was replenished, most people's twelve main meridians might not be able to liquefy even one main meridian's true energy.

In Ling Yan's situation, the primeval essence in one of the main meridians had already reached 90%. But if he did not continue to liquefy his primeval essence, within half a month, his primeval essence would not even reach 10%.

If his own Innate Qi was insufficient and his Qi was replenished too slowly, then he would need to borrow help from outside. For example, in the case of the Zhen Qi Dan s like Ling Yan, if she had another Zhen Qi Dan as support, she might even be able to fill a main vein with True Essence.

It was a pity that with the Lingyun City's strength, obtaining Zhen Qi Dan s was still extremely difficult. The most common cultivation resources were some heavenly and earthly treasures that were similar to Zhen Qi Dan s, although they were called heaven and earth treasures, they were actually just some medicinal herbs, their effects were not even a tenth of the Zhen Qi Dan s strength.

"Cousin, the Patriarch is here. Hurry up and greet him!"

Seeing that Wang Hao was still seated, Ling Ling immediately pulled on Wang Hao's sleeves and said softly, as she was afraid that Wang Hao might cause trouble for the ancestor.

Wang Hao raised his head, and smiled at Ling Ling, but did not get up.

"Sit down!"

The Ling Family Patriarch spoke up at this time, asking everyone to sit down. Then, he looked at Wang Hao, and his turbid eyes shone brightly as he released the pressure of his Jindan and questioned, "Little friend, just who are you?"

Sensing the might of the Jindan cultivator, the Ling Family members immediately went silent and sat down obediently, not daring to interrupt.

Ling Ling's beautiful face changed, as she kept giving Wang Hao meaningful looks with her head lowered.

In her opinion, even if Wang Hao was a genius of the sect, he was still at the Innate Realm.

Wang Hao frowned, the Nine Heavens Qigong secretly activated it, the Jindan Stage pressure, no matter how weak the Jindan Stage pressure was, was not something an Innate Ranker could easily resist, the abnormal Wang Hao would definitely take it seriously.

Turning his head to meet the gaze of the Ling Family Patriarch, Wang Hao asked in a cold and fearless voice, "What do you mean by this?"

Towards the Ling Family, Wang Hao did not have a good impression of them in the first place. Although the Ling Family's ancestor was the Jindan cultivator, and was considered to be the ancestor of Wang Hao's body in terms of bloodline, with Wang Hao's current cultivation and background, there was no harm in not bowing to the Ling Family's ancestor.

This old man has heard what you said just now. Little friend, your cultivation is not bad, and your Zhen Qi is at the peak of the Xiantian realm, and your cold attribute cultivation technique is probably at the top of the Xiantian realm. Moreover, you have cultivated it to the peak of the Xiantian realm.

Even the most peerless genius would be around twenty years old when he reaches the Innate Realm. For example, when he reaches Innate Realm, he would be twenty years old when he reaches the Innate Realm, and to reach the level of Xiantian sixth stage, even if the sect has plentiful resources and unlimited supplies, it would still take at least three years. So, no matter how much this old man overestimates you, you are at least twenty-three years old, you are definitely not past fourteen, and you are definitely not fit to be Qing Xue's child. "

"Speak, who exactly are you? What is your purpose for coming to my Ling Family? "

The Ling Family's Ancestor gave a stern shout, and his aura surged. He didn't look like an old man at all.

When the Ling Family higher-ups heard their own Patriarchs' analysis, their expressions also changed slightly. They suddenly came to a realization: That's right! How could a fourteen year old Innate Ranker possibly exist? In all of history, there had never been such a genius, not to mention, his Xiantian sixth stage was at the peak of the realm, and his true qi was comparable to the peak of the Innate realm.

In practically an instant, the Ling Family members had rejected the possibility of Wang Hao being Qing Xue's son. Even Ling Ling felt that it was impossible.

However, in Ling Ling's eyes, it was not important whether or not Wang Hao was the son of an aunt. No matter who Wang Hao was, he was still her savior.

"Ancestor, Wang Hao, he …"

Ling Ling mustered the courage to speak, wanting to explain that Wang Hao had saved her.

The Ling Family Patriarch usually did not do anything, and was startled by the sudden loss of control of Wang Hao, so he did not know that Wang Hao had saved Ling Ling.

However, Wang Hao pressed down on Ling Ling's shoulder, looked at the Ling Family's Ancestor coldly and said: "Don't use your ignorance to guess at me. There are some things that you cannot understand, and even more so that you cannot come into contact with."

"You!"

The Ling Family's Ancestor was in a bad mood and seemed to be on the verge of attacking the Ling Family, causing the Ling Family to become extremely nervous.

However, Wang Hao seemed to turn a blind eye, and continued to speak in a neutral tone: "Of course, whether you want to believe it or not, I don't plan to be related to you guys, my visit tonight was just for Ling Ling's sake."

"Now that you've drunk the wine and talked about it, I'll take my leave!"

With that, Wang Hao got up and left.

When the Ling Family higher ups saw that Wang Hao was about to leave, their expressions became hesitant. After all, Wang Hao's strength and background was not to be underestimated.

Ling Ling anxiously pulled on Wang Hao's hand. However, if Wang Hao wanted to leave, no one present could stop him. Naturally, Ling Ling's jade hand had missed its target.

"If you want to come, then come. If you say you want to leave, then leave. Do you take this old man as a decoration?" Even if you're a genius of the sect, you still have to first confirm your identity and explain things before leaving! "

The Ling Family Patriarch's figure flashed, and stood in front of Wang Hao, blocking right in front of Wang Hao.
