Compete with monsters and freaks for the opportunity of the great road!

“Kid, how exactly do you Cultivate?”

Lin Dong’s actions caused Elder Hu to sober up by three points, as he stared blankly at Lin Dong, as if looking at a monster.

“Cultivate what?” Lin Dong said, “I never Cultivate.”

Elder Hu’s old eyes narrowed slightly, “Don’t tell this old man that you just ate and drank like this normally and then had a Breakthrough?”

Lin Dong said, “Yes, Elder Hu, you shouldn’t be too envious.”

It was false for Elder Hu to say he wasn't envious, “You, kid, it seems you have some Prodigy Physique. Cultivating is like having no Bottleneck.”

Elder Hu came from the central part of Qingzhou and was well-informed, so Lin Dong didn't need to explain at all.

The Nine Provinces are vast, with three thousand Physiques, and all sorts of wonders exist.

Among the Physiques that can strengthen oneself by devouring, there is the Gluttonous Divine Body, which devours everything and refines everything. When it Cultivates to the Major Achievement Realm, it can even feed on stars.

There is also a Cultivation Technique that refines everything, the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Technique!

Devouring all things to strengthen oneself, it was once created by an ordinary Physique and eventually ascended to the position of Great Emperor!!

But no matter what Cultivation Technique or Physique Lin Dong possessed, it was all Lin Dong’s Opportunity.

Elder Hu took a large gulp of wine and smiled leisurely, “Don’t worry, this old man is old and not interested in your secrets.”

Lin Dong said, “This junior naturally believes in Elder Hu’s character!”

If Elder Hu had any designs on him, he had several opportunities to act against him when he was weak. Why wait until now and not act, and even save him multiple times?

“Elder Hu has shown great kindness to this junior and to the Lin family.”

“If Elder Hu needs any help from this junior! As long as this junior can do it, Elder Hu can speak freely! I will definitely not shirk my duty!”

Lin Dong said seriously.

The kindness Elder Hu had shown him and the Lin family was difficult to repay. If there was an Opportunity, Lin Dong would definitely go all out to help.

“It’s enough that you, kid, have this intention!”

Elder Hu stroked his beard and smiled, a complex memory in his cloudy eyes, “It shows that this old man didn’t misjudge the person this time.”

But Lin Dong actually felt a hint of sadness from Elder Hu’s smile. It seemed Elder Hu also had his own story.

Otherwise, why would he not stay at the Qingzhou Main Academy and instead run to the remote Yunlan City?

Lin Dong was sensible and did not ask further, secretly noting this matter, believing that when he had enough strength, he would naturally be able to help Elder Hu.

“Elder, this is dried meat I specifically brought from home!”

“You try it, it’s just right as a side dish for wine! It’s only pseudo-fifth-grade meat, please don’t despise it!”

Lin Dong changed the subject, took out a few catties of dried meat and placed them on the table. The dried meat, roasted from demon beast meat, became more fragrant the more he chewed.

Lin Dong smiled, “Elder, please eat your fill. If it’s not enough, I have more in my storage ring.”

Elder Hu nodded, becoming more satisfied the more he looked at Lin Dong. This kid even knew not to come empty-handed.

It was a pity that Lin Dong, who had both excellent character and talent, was not his Disciple.

The two drank and chatted.

Before long, Elder Hu learned the news of Lin Dong breaking the Azure Dragon Stone Tablet, and the astonishment on his old face could not be concealed.

“You, kid, are truly a Prodigy!”

“I originally thought you were very strong for being able to fight against a Tiangang Realm expert while in the Spiritual Sea Realm.”

“But who knew that your Body Refining Dao was also so monstrous? With ten million catties of strength, even an ordinary Purple Palace Realm might not have a Physical Body as strong as yours.”

The more Elder Hu thought about it, the more amazed he became.

Lin Dong not only had monstrous talent in the Dao of the sword, but he also had such terrifying talent in the Dao of Body Refining, almost like a humanoid Vicious Beast.

“Your talent and combat power… even if you go to the Qingzhou Main Academy, you would still be a top Prodigy. Becoming one of the top ten in the sequence would not be a problem, and you could enjoy the highest resource treatment from the Academy.”

“Are you willing to go to the central part of Qingzhou, to the Seven Stars Academy Main Academy?”

“Yunlan City is too small. Staying too long will bury your talent. With your monstrous talent, you should go to the central part of Qingzhou to have the Opportunity to shine brightly.”

“The central part of Qingzhou has countless resources, and also Legacies from supreme powerhouses!”

“You can compete with so-called peerless Prodigies and monstrous freaks for the Dao Opportunity!”

Elder Hu’s eyes were burning, and he finally stated the purpose of inviting Lin Dong for drinks this time: he hoped Lin Dong would go to the Main Academy to Cultivate.

“Elder, I will go!”

“This old man has a spot and can immediately recommend you to the Main Academy…”

Before Elder Hu could finish speaking, Lin Dong said, “Thank you for your kindness, Elder Hu, but this junior wants to go to the Main Academy through his own efforts.”

“Besides, this junior doesn’t want to go to the Qingzhou Main Academy so quickly.”

“This junior still has matters to deal with. I will participate in the assessment when the people from the Main Academy come to the branch academy.”

Lin Dong’s eyes were sharp, and he was also very grateful for Elder Hu’s kindness; the other party thought of him immediately when something came up.

But he still had matters to deal with.

He still wanted to check the location on the map. He felt that the map on the Dragon bone would definitely yield some extraordinary gains.

The Lin family had not yet been properly arranged.

The Lin family relied solely on Lin Dong’s strength to deter all sides.

If Lin Dong left, the Lin family would soon become an empty shell again, and might not be able to escape their previous fate of destruction.

“So be it.”

Elder Hu did not insist; he just hoped Lin Dong would go to the Main Academy sooner.

The central part of Qingzhou was where the true Prodigies of Qingzhou gathered, and one could even meet Prodigies from other states.

“Is the central part of Qingzhou big?”

Lin Dong felt a bit of longing. A young man’s dream was to conquer the entire vast world, the stars, and the sea.

Big!

Elder Hu’s eyes held a look of reminiscence, “Even this old man, with his Peak cultivation, has not traveled through the entire central part of Qingzhou.”

“Humans under heaven and earth are all as small as ants.”

“If the central part of Qingzhou is like this, let alone the entire vast Nine Provinces!”

“Even a powerful Sage Realm expert, a top powerhouse of a state, cannot step on every inch of land in the world throughout their entire life.”

Elder Hu fell into contemplation, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.

Speaking of Sage Realm experts, his eyes were filled with reverence, and also a strong hint of self-mockery, “Back then, this old man, like you, came from a small place.”

“With the dream of conquering the vast world! I went to the central part of Qingzhou! I thought I would definitely become a peerless powerhouse famous throughout the world in the future!”

“But when I arrived at the central part of Qingzhou, I realized that there are always people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens.”

“My Hua Hai Realm cultivation, which I was so proud of, was commonplace in the central part of Qingzhou, and Tiangang Realm experts were not few. Only then did I realize how naive my thoughts were.”

Elder Hu looked at Lin Dong and said, “But you, kid, are different. The degree of your monstrous talent is something this old man has never heard of or seen before!”

“This old man believes that with your talent, you will definitely become famous throughout Qingzhou in the future.”

In Elder Hu’s words, he placed high hopes on Lin Dong, as if he saw a future rising Ziwei star.

“Thanks to Elder Hu’s auspicious words!”

Lin Dong laughed heartily, “Elder Hu, please rest assured, if this junior achieves anything in the future, I will never forget you, old man. I will travel through all the mountains and rivers of Qingzhou for you!”

“Just having you say that makes this old man very happy.”

Elder Hu said with a smile, “I’m old, and it’s not easy to have someone listen to me, so I couldn’t help but say a few more irrelevant things.”

“Cough cough!”

As he laughed, Elder Hu suddenly coughed violently.

Lin Dong frowned, “Elder Hu, how can you have injuries on your body…?”
