These bystanders, if they resonate with Lin Qi's teachings, can also be influenced and follow his path.

Therefore, many people spontaneously gathered around Lin Qizhou.

Envy and excitement were mixed together.

Many people quietly withdrew their gaze and continued doing their own things.

Nangong Yuan is one of them.

She just glanced at Lin Qi, and continued with her own business.

It was Nangong Zhan who couldn't help but sigh.

She is only in the mid-stage of Jindan now, at her current cultivation speed, by the time the Five Continents Grand Competition opens, she will probably have reached the peak of Jindan.

"The first time I saw her, if it weren't for that 'hero saving the beauty' incident, we wouldn't have even noticed such a small character."

"...In just a few years, she may be able to stand beside us, or even surpass us..."

He sighed, "Such talent and luck are truly terrifying."

Nangong Yuan was unusually calm: "Although Nanbei Prefecture is resource-poor, it produces one or two astonishing geniuses every hundred years. Don't underestimate any place or person."

"Anyone can be a genius, why can't it be Lin Qi?"

Nangong Zhan was a little surprised, "You think so highly of her?"

Nan Gong Yuan calmly said, "It's not that I think highly of her, but that I see the situation clearly."

Lin Qi displayed talent, character, and opportunity that were the best among his contemporaries, even surpassing those from decades or centuries past.

Such a person, gathering the spiritual energy of an entire continent, must be extraordinary.

Nangong Yu smiled rarely. "Isn't it interesting to be alive in the same era as such a genius?"

She laughed, a grand and arrogant laugh. "To surpass such talent would be all the more interesting!"

She is never afraid of others being stronger than herself.

Only with strong competitors can she become stronger!

Nangong Zhan knew what she was thinking, and couldn't help but shake his head with a sigh.

"You demons, you're all demons!"

I'm not going to participate in this demonic brawl.

After the two had finished their discussion, they noticed that Tang Xiao was sitting beside them, chin resting on her hand, staring blankly at Lin Qi and smiling foolishly.

It seems like they weren't praising Lin Qi, but Tang Xi instead.

Nan Gong Zhan couldn't bear it anymore and tapped him on the head with his fan.

"Still smiling? You're about to drool."

When Tang Xiao was flustered, she blushed and touched her lips. She realized that Nan Gongzhan was teasing her, so she kicked him angrily.

A graceful woman is what a gentleman desires, is there any problem?

Nan Gong Yuan's cold and rational eyes fell on him.

"You shouldn't keep daydreaming, Lin Qi won't ever look at you!"

When Tang was young, he wouldn't accept it. "How can you be sure she doesn't like me? Even if she really doesn't like me, I want to hear her say it herself!"

Nangong Yu coldly smiled and said, "Because I also don't look down on you!"

She raised her chin, quite proudly stating: "Lin Qi and I are the same kind of people. We only like strong individuals, we only pursue strength, the weak will never deserve us to lower our heads."

When she said that, the smile on his face immediately vanished.

Because he knew that what Nan Gong Yuan said was true.

Everyone admires the strong, and no one is willing to bend for the weak.

When Tang Xi's momentum weakened, he muttered: "Isn't it just about cultivating to become stronger? I'll work hard on cultivation when I get back!"

As soon as he thought about seeing Lin Qi again in two years, he couldn't help but get excited.

You said that before we parted ways this time, I expressed my feelings to Lin Dao-you, and there's a slight possibility...

Before he could finish his words, Nangong Yuan cut him off decisively.

"Impossible!"

"What a daydream!"

Nangong Zhan sighed and said softly, "When you were a child, did you know what this is called?"

When he was a child, Tang was deeply affected. "What's his name?"

"

Delusions of grandeur.

"......Are you still my friends?"

Nangong Yu coldly and ruthlessly said, "I only befriend the strong. If you return to Zhongzhou and your cultivation remains stagnant, we won't be friends anymore."

"You're frighteningly cold."

Nan Gong Yuan ignored him anymore, because she found the Dao intent cloud she wanted and vanished on the spot to capture it.

Nangong Zhan dragged a lovestruck Tang Xia away from the spot.

During this period, Tan Yueqing finally got a share of Luoci's good fortune and even found a branch of the frost-infused Dao Intent tree in the sparse Dao Intent Sea.

A sudden cold snap fell, like a shower of divine intent.

She immediately had a breakthrough and attained enlightenment by kneeling down on the spot.

Everyone has their own path, and time flows by the same for all.

Along the way, some people fall behind, while others emerge anew.

After much searching and wandering, there are few who can truly walk beside you or perhaps none at all.

In the boundless ocean of Dao, one loses track of sun and moon. Lin Qi's comprehension of the Dao's essence amidst the cold air advanced a thousand miles in a single day.

On the day she broke through to the later stage of Jindan, she suddenly had a strange feeling.

One's own comprehension of the Dao even surpassed the depth that a Yuan Ying cultivator should possess.

Some of my own ideas are gradually taking shape.

All the spirit stones I had painstakingly saved were consumed in this breakthrough.

Lin Qi looked at the empty storage bag and couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder they say cultivators become poorer the more they practice. I sold so many formations, but the spirit stones I got only enough for one breakthrough."

The higher the level of cultivation, the more spiritual energy required to break through increases almost tenfold or even a hundredfold.

Lin Qi was seriously suspecting that her next breakthrough might require absorbing a spiritual vein.

She had just broken through, and not far away, an ice and snow vision appeared in the distance, the aura was a little familiar.

Lin Qi saw many people rushing in that direction, packed up her belongings, and immediately followed them.

Every step forward, you see the breaking through of Tan Yueqing.

Two cultivators lurking in the shadows are about to attack her.

Lin Qi just broke through and his fighting spirit was high. He also wanted to take this opportunity to test the power of the thunderclap in his palm.

So with a roar, "What's the point of sneaking around? If you want to fight, do it openly!"

Her voice was like thunder exploding in the ears of the two people who were ambushing them.

Their gazes shifted, landing on Lin Qi. Their eyes flickered with astonishment, fear, or a surge of murderous intent; their attacks showed no sign of ceasing.

Tan Yueqing, who was advancing while on guard, smiled faintly and pressed down on the hilt of her sword concealed at her waist.

A silent understanding flowed between the two.

Lin Qi pulled at the void, a bolt of lightning condensing instantly in his palm into a blade.

A terrifying sword forged from compressed thunder, a single glance at which reveals the terrible pressure emanating from it.

Lin Qi's figure moved as fast as lightning, wielding the Thunder Sword in his hand and sweeping out a blast of air. Dozens of thunderbolts darted from the blade, shocking the limbs of the two attackers who were trying to ambush him.

Pain and screams followed, two breaths tearing into each other, distorting the spatial power around them.

The Blazing Sword struck again, deflecting both of their attacks.

The third sword, a void cast, flipped backhand to draw a flower of blades.

One meaning, one etiquette, two paths of thunder and frost-covered sword intent surged out, its sharpness captivating.

Only a flash of white light was seen across the heavens and earth.

Blood and a low, muffled moan arose.

When he opened his eyes again, there was only a bloody ruin left.
