Chapter 607: Chapter 483: Advancing on Hidden Dragon Stream (Part 2)

"Now, of course, I must properly celebrate my senior sister." Lu Qian smiled, clutching Jiang Qingfeng’s delicate hand, "From now on, senior sister, you need not belittle yourself all day long."

"Even if we give up cultivation from now on, we still have over three hundred years to be together."

Jiang Qingfeng’s eyes sparkled, her heart filled with sweetness, and she whispered, "I’m afraid that it’s too long, and you’ll grow tired of looking at me."

Lu Qian shook his head, "Without senior sister by my side, even with a thousand years and eternal life, alone and solitary, what meaning would it have?"

Little did he know that not confessing his heart might have been better. This heartfelt confession made Jiang Qingfeng give him a playful glare: "Without me, it’s no big deal; you still have Fairy Jingxia to accompany you."

Lu Qian couldn’t help but feel a headache. Jiang Qingfeng watched his stunned and mute expression and suddenly smiled, appearing like a blooming peony, exquisite and beautiful.

"Alright, I understand your intentions." Senior sister slowly said, "From the day we became Dao companions, I had thought it all through."

"No matter how Elder Guh acts, as long as I can stay by your side, I am content."

Looking at his senior sister, elegant and graceful yet with eyes full of longing, Lu Qian’s heart was stirred, and he lowered his head to kiss her, but Jiang Qingfeng gently avoided it.

"There’s another piece of good news I haven’t mentioned yet."

"Xiaolin has now advanced to the Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation, and his Divine Sense has stabilized." Facing Lu Qian’s puzzled gaze, she spoke seriously, "He possesses Consciousness Collection."

Lu Qian widened his eyes.

Half an hour later, a banquet was held at Minglong Mountain, the atmosphere was lively. But Lu Qian only attended at the beginning and after briefly mingling, he led Lin Le into a quiet room.

Listening to Lin Le recount the events again, the story was still the same, but Lu Qian’s heart remained excited and joyful, unable to calm down.

He was one of those on Yun Mountain who knew Lin Le best, no one felt more regret and sorrow over Lin Le’s Spiritual Root, nor could anyone be happier hearing about Lin Le’s Consciousness Collection.

Lu Qian gently tapped Lin Le’s forehead, exploring his talent for Consciousness Collection, now just entering the Mid-Stage Qi Cultivation, his Spiritual Sense Strength was nearly reaching Late-Stage Qi Cultivation.

The strength of Consciousness Collection varies. Lin Le’s Consciousness Collection is by no means inferior to his own.

From now on, Lin Le’s cultivation will focus on developing Consciousness Collection, fundamentally changing guidance and nurturing along the Dao path.

For instance, Lin Le will also begin to study Array Dao.

Compared to Lu Qian’s exhilaration and excitement, Lin Le seemed much calmer.

In the past two days, he had thought a lot and had already calmed down from the initial complex emotions.

Now, listening to Lu Qian’s rare rambling about how to make use of this Consciousness Collection, Lin Le felt grateful and moved, and he knelt down.

"Sect Leader, never could I imagine in my dreams having such a talent. But, with my Spiritual Root, this Consciousness Collection seems like casting pearls before swine. If this Consciousness Collection could be transferred to Sister Yann, then it would truly be put to good use."

"What nonsense are you talking about." Lu Qian shouted angrily, "For you to possess Consciousness Collection is a gift from the heavens. In the past, on the Dao path, I did not have many demands on you, but from now on it’s different. You should focus more energy from sect affairs onto personal cultivation."

"Whether it’s management or intelligence, things have now hit their stride, and you’ve gradually cultivated some key personnel; you don’t need to do everything personally anymore."

"So what if you earn a few tens of thousands fewer Spirit Stones? To me, it’s far less important than your Dao path."

Lin Le’s eyes reddened, his throat tightened, and he choked out, "Sect Leader, I can’t express your great kindness in words. But with my Spiritual Root, progress is really difficult..."

Lu Qian smiled and shook his head, "Spiritual Root may be hard to change, but in other areas, there are always winding paths."

"For example, some Secret Techniques and Spiritual Medicines can improve your Body Veins and speed up your cultivation."

"Also, there exist Divine Formula Wondrous Methods to extend lifespan. Pseudo-Spiritual Root takes two hundred years just to reach Late-Stage Qi Cultivation, but what if lifespan is extended to three hundred years? Isn’t Foundation Establishment possible?"

"And if there really is no way, between heaven and earth there is Innate Spiritual Qi, a divine substance that can directly enhance your cultivation!"

Lu Qian spoke earnestly, and Lin Le’s eyes gradually brightened.

"The achievements others can accomplish in one year, at most, we will take ten or twenty years! A snail slowly crawls, but it eventually reaches the end."

"The heavens granted you such a talent, you must cherish it. Shall we set a small goal first?"

"With the strength of your Consciousness Collection, when you reach Late-Stage Qi Cultivation, your Spiritual Sense Strength can rival Foundation Establishment. Once you begin studying Array Dao, you will be able to exert Foundation Establishment Level combat power and become an essential figure in the sect."

"Don’t belittle yourself, Xiaolin." Lu Qian smiled, "I am determined to see the day you shine brightly."

Lin Le’s eyes glistened with tears, and he bowed deeply.

"Yes, Sect Leader."

Seeing Lin Le revitalized, Lu Qian hesitated for a moment but refrained from advising him to mend relations with Wu Yan. He knew Lin Le held onto his own convictions.

First, do everything possible to help Xiaolin achieve Foundation Establishment, then talk about other matters.

After sending Lin Le away, Lu Qian visited the recovering Li Da and Wang Ruoyu late into the night.

Li Da’s condition was manageable, with no major injuries, but Wang Ruoyu was hurt quite badly and wouldn’t be able to leave the infirmary for at least half a month.

However, both of their spirits were good; upon the Sect Leader’s personal visit, they were very excited. Wang Ruoyu even attempted to rise from the sickbed to salute but was stopped by Lu Qian.
