Chapter 12


    Chapter 12: I Have an Elder Brother? (1)


    From the moment you became a Spiritual Monarch and the following stages of Spiritual Sovereign,


    Spiritual Supremacy, and Spiritual Deity, they each had the level of elementary, intermediate,


    advanced, and peak. Once your spiritual power was fully saturated, advancement would happen


    automatically. However, heaven and earthws would not descend for the advancement to the


    intermediate, advanced, and peak levels. Heaven and earthws would only descend for the


    advancement to Spiritual Monarch, Spiritual Sovereign, Spiritual Supremacy, and Spiritual Deity.


    Although Leng Ruoxue’s advancement was sessful, and she had stopped absorbing spiritual


    energy, she did not immediately leave the secret room. Instead, she began to cultivate advanced


    spiritual skills. You could only cultivate heavenly spiritual skills at the Spiritual Sovereign stage, so she


    nned to finish cultivating the advanced fire and wind element skills before leaving. This way, she


    would at least have the ability to protect herself.


    The advanced fire-element spiritual skill ‘Prairie ze Spark’ was one of the most powerful advanced


    fire-element skills. Moreover, it was a group-attack skill. It could be considered as the upgraded version


    of the ‘Explosive mes Art’, but its power was several times stronger. ‘me Feathers’ was also one


    of the mightiest advanced fire-element skills, but ‘me Feathers’ was a single-target skill. The


    advanced wind-element skill ‘Wind Chasing Art’ was primarily used to increase movement speed


    duringbat, and it was the upgraded version of the ‘Quick Wind Art’. These advanced spiritual skills


    were the ones that piqued Leng Ruoxue’s interest, so she cultivated them first. After learning these


    skills to a point where she was fluent, she intended to leave seclusion, lest her grandfather and the


    others have to wait for her anxiously. She decided to cultivate other skills at her own paceter.


    When Leng Ruoxue opened the door of the secret room, a fluffy little beast jumped into her arms.


    !!


    “Big Sister, Baby missed you so much!” Babyid needily in her arms.


    Leng Ruoxue looked somewhat helplessly at Baby lying in her arms, oblivious to why this little thing


    loved sticking to her.


    “Big Sister missed you too,” Leng Ruoxue coaxed. “When Big Sister wasn’t around, was Baby a good


    boy?”


    “Big Sister, Baby was a very good boy!” The little beast raised a small paw, as if he was swearing.


    “Miss, Baby said he wanted to protect you and was unwilling to leave the door of the secret room,” Cui


    Zhu said to her young miss with a look of adoration on her face.


    Leng Ruoxue looked down at the shy little beast in her arms. She initially thought that this little thing


    just said it casually, but she didn’t expect him to really not move an inch and protect her at the door of


    the secret room. Even without doing this, just his intention was enough to touch her heart, and the


    initial annoyance she felt slowly faded away. From this moment on, she decided to love Baby as her


    little brother.


    “Where is Grandpa?” Leng Ruoxue’s beautiful eyes nced around.


    “Old Master is in his study,” Lü Tao answered.


    “I’ll go see Grandpa.” Holding Baby in her arms, Leng Ruoxue walked toward the study.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “Old man, your darling granddaughter is finally clear-headed. Are you very happy?”mented the


    middle-aged man sitting opposite Leng Qingtian in the study.


    “Of course I’m happy.”


    “You must be so happy that you forgot you had a grandson! Hmph.” The middle-aged man snorted, a


    displeased look on his face.


    “How could I forget? Ruohan is the grandson I’m proudest of!”


    Leng Ruoxue heard the voicesing from the study and stopped in her tracks. Grandfather has a


    guest? While she was contemting whether to go in or to returnter, the door of the study opened.


    “Xue’er! Hahaha, Grandpa’s dearest is finally out. Come! Let Grandpa take a good look at you.” When


    Leng Qingtian saw his precious granddaughter standing at the door, his face lit up, and a wide smile


    crept up on his face as he hugged her.


    “Hmph!”


    “Grandpa has a guest?” Upon hearing the snort, Leng Ruoxue turned her gaze toward the source. She


    saw a middle-aged man who wasn’t particrly handsome but had an extraordinary presence. At first


    nce, she could tell that he had been in a high position for a long time. Although he was restraining


    his imposing manner currently, no one would doubt that he was a powerhouse. However, this person


    didn’t seem to like her, so she began wondering if she had offended him somehow before.


    “Xue’er, he is Grandpa’s old friend. Just call him Grandpa Lin,” Leng Qingtian introduced simply.


    “Hello, Grandpa Lin,” Leng Ruoxue greeted politely.


    “Well, old man, no wonder you dote on this granddaughter so much. Unexpectedly, your granddaughter


    is such a rare genius. She’s already a Spiritual Monarch at such a tender age.” Lin Liang’s sharp eyes


    sized up Leng Ruoxue with an intense gaze.


    “Grandpa Lin, Xue’er is ttered. I was only able to advance so smoothly because of a spiritual


    essence pill,” Leng Ruoxue exined with the reason she had discussed with her grandfather


    beforehand.


    “Spiritual essence pill? No wonder. With a spiritual essence pill, you can be a Spiritual Monarch


    even with poor aptitude! Old man, you’re so biased. When Ruohan advanced, you were unwilling to


    give him a spiritual essence pill!” Lin Liang shouted in discontent.


    “Ruohan is a genius. Even without a spiritual essence pill, he still advanced smoothly. Furthermore,


    with you, his master, beside him, how could he have been in any danger? It’s not like you don’t know


    that using a spiritual essence pill to advance is thest resort. Which genius do you know that has used


    a spiritual essence pill?” Leng Qingtian roared back, unwilling to be outdone. Those who reached


    Spiritual Monarch using a spiritual essence pill would cultivate much slower than those that reached


    Spiritual Monarch by themselves. Even so, spiritual essence pills were extremely rare and precious.


    Not only could spiritual essences pills help with advancement, but they could also reduce the risk.


    However, only Great Spiritualists could use them. Since ancient times, countless spiritualists had hit a


    wall and were unable to advance to Spiritual Monarch. The Great Spiritualist stage was a considerably


    important obstacle that spiritualists had to face. The status of ‘Great Spiritualist’ was only marginally


    more prestigious than ordinary people, but the moment you advanced to Spiritual Monarch, your status


    and standing would rise significantly. This was why spiritual essence pills were priceless and couldn’t


    be found on the market.


    “Anyway, you’re too biased!” Lin Liang hollered.


    “Grandpa, since you have a guest, Xue’er will visit youter,” Leng Ruoxue said. At times like this, she


    should steer clear to prevent herself from bing a target.


    After returning to Listening Snow Pavilion, Leng Ruoxue immediately called for Lü Tao and directly


    asked, “Lü Tao, do I have an elder brother?”


    “Miss, did you recall Young Master?” Lü Tao asked, a little unsure.


    “Nope. I really have an elder brother? Why hasn’t anyone raised him with me?” Leng Ruoxue said with


    displeasure.
