Dragon Monarch
Chapter 14 - Monsters
“Strength!” that was all that Lin Yan could say in his mind after activating the King's Eye.
“Come in, we'll be leaving soon.” Gu Yuena first entered the carriage.
Lin Yan followed from behind ignoring the courier who was looking at him closely.
When he went inside, Lin Yan found Gu Yin who was sitting leisurely while staring out of the carriage window.
“Sit down, make yourself as comfortable as possible.” Gu Yuena said towards Lin Yan with a sweet smile.
Lin Yan gave a small nod and sat down opposite Gu Yuena and Gu Yin. He then went cross-legged and started cultivating again.
“This child!” Gu Yuena pouted for an instant as she looked at Lin Yan who was cultivating.
Gu Yin also looked towards Lin Yan with a puzzled look. From their interactions within a few days, it was very noticeable that Lin Yan was not interested in him or Gu Yuena at all.
The horse carriage instantly moved towards the Star Kingdom. The courier controlling the horse carriage did not care much and was unwilling to interfere in Gu Yuena's affairs as it would cause him trouble. But he would definitely send a message to the Gu clan about this.
Inside the carriage of the horse carriage, Lin Yan was constantly absorbing the qi that was in the air. The absorption speed was so terrifying that it created a phenomenon around Lin Yan's body.
Even for Gu Yuena and Gu Yin was very surprised to see the speed of qi absorption in Lin Yan's body.
“Son, is this just my hallucination?” Gu Yin rubbed his eyes as he stared towards Lin Yan.
“No. What you see I see, I see it too. It seemed that Lin Yan had the recommendation letter not without reason. He must have had blue spiritual roots at the very least. Most likely she has red spiritual roots.” Gu Yuena retorted seriously.
“A-red spiritual root?” Gu Yin stammered because from the information that existed in the Star Kingdom region, every great clan might only have one such genius within a period of one hundred years.
“It is no wonder that he has such a recommendation letter. Although it was possible that Lin Yan was from a village, it was certain that the big sects would try to bring him in.” continued Gu Yuena.
Inwardly, Gu Yuena was a little envious. Although he was called a genius with blue spiritual roots, compared to Lin Yan, he looked extremely pale.
“But the spiritual root only symbolizes the speed of absorption of qi in the air. Not one's true talent, it was only categorized as the fastest cultivator increasing cultivation. Also, do you remember about her having such a quick reaction when at that inn and restaurant?” Gu Yuena continued to speak. He speculated that it was not only because of Lin Yan's spiritual roots that he was highly valued by the Heavenly Dragon sect.
“Yes. His reaction speed as well as his body strength were incredible. Even for first stage Houtian cultivators would not be able to take down someone like that without using qi in their attacks.” Gu Yin nodded in agreement. It was natural for a cultivator to be stronger than a human in general because each of their attacks would be coated by qi that could increase attacks, speed and the others in an enormous amount.
The Qi and Houtian Foundation level was actually not too much different. Only the Houtian level qi was greater by several times. However it was all different if one had already reached the Xiantian level. Upgrade it already has a different world to the previous two levels.
Gu Yuena nodded in agreement. Time continued to pass, the two Gu clan ladies only stared at Lin Yan from time to time.
Lin Yan was immersed in his cultivation. He will continue to inspect the surrounding area. Of course he would not be too trusting of Gu Yuena and Gu Yin who had monstrous couriers. He had been taught by his grandparents not to let his guard down in any situation.
After two days had passed, Lin Yan felt the qi within his body slowly solidify. His muscle tissues seemed to be strengthened slightly. No one knew of it because only Lin Yan felt it.
Also, every cultivator had almost no increase in body strength when breaking through the later stages. Only cultivators above Houtian had such an effect.
“Qi Foundation sixth stage.” Inner Lin Yan while opening his eyes with a small smile on his face.
“Are you done cultivating?” gu Yuena's voice sounded in Lin Yan's ears.
“Ya.” Lin Yan merely nodded his head as he looked towards Gu Yuena.
“What is your cultivation level?” ask Gu Yuena.
“Are you unable to see one's cultivation level?” asked Lin Yan astonished.
Gu Yuena and Gu Yin looked at each other and felt Lin Yan was very strange.
“Of course any Houtian cultivator and the Qi Foundation will be able to detect the cultivation of others if they use qi. To track down directly, perhaps only Xiantian cultivators to the top could.” Gu Yuena said slightly strangely staring at Lin Yan.
“Is that?” Lin Yan tilted his head because he had absolutely no idea about it. He had indeed experienced the same thing before when he had yet to cultivate. But, after he was trained by his grandparents, he was able to track one's cultivation even within certain limits. Like his grandparents, he never knew what level they were at.
“So what is your current cultivation level?” gu Yuena asked ignoring Lin Yan's confused face.
“Qi Foundation sixth stage.” replied Lin Yan.
“What?” Gu Yuena and Gu Yin were surprised to hear that. Did we hear wrong? Just the sixth stage Qi Foundation?
“What spiritual root is yours?” gu Yuena asked hurriedly and still could not believe what she heard.
“Hm.I don't know, my grandparents never said it after they tested my talent. They just said that I am quite talented in the way of cultivation.” Lin Yan shook his head as he was also curious what spiritual roots belonged to him. He never asked because he felt less important after his grandfather said he was quite talented.
“Lumayan?” gu Yuena and Gu Yin's faces were ugly instantly. Anyone would not believe it if it was only at the speed Lin Yan absorbed qi. There was also an awkward one, if Lin Yan had a red spiritual root, it was definitely his cultivation at least the Houtian first stage at the moment.
“How long have you started cultivating?” gu Yuena asked again to justify her speculation.
“At this time it has been two weeks less even though in the past week I did not cultivate because I did not have time while moving to the city of Seijin.” replied Lin Yan.
Gu Yuena and Gu Yin were even more astonished to hear it.
“Then, the first time your spiritual roots were opened, what was your cultivation level?” Gu Yuena continued to shower Lin Yan with questions that made Lin Yan a little uncomfortable.
“Qi Foundation first stage.” replied the real Lin Yan did not want to answer anymore. But he thought that it would be fine to answer such a simple question.
Gu Yuena and Gu Yin fell silent for a moment. Just this time they saw someone who was able to increase his five stage cultivation in just two weeks and a week counted as not cultivating.
Just one word could be said by Gu Yuena and Gu Yin in their hearts at this moment, ‘Monster.’
