The old monk was waiting outside, having his wine. However, when he detected the strange vibe from the room, his originally lazy expression quickly changed as he immediately jumped up and waved his hand, encompassing the entire premise with a barrier.
His expression turned serious, and he briskly walked towards the room.
Inside the room, he saw the little girl, dressed like a monk, sitting cross-legged on the bed, a layer of gold light covering her body. Her delicate features, gorgeous face, and her appearance as she was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, all made him feel like an extremely powerful and holy vibe was exuding from her.
Looking at the scene, the old monk became anxious. But more than anxious, he was in disbelief.
Even though he knew that she was most probably the person he was looking for, looking at this scene still made him feel surreal. Because before finding her, he had never thought that the person he was searching for was just a little 13 or 14-year-old girl.
To prevent any accident happening at this moment, the old monk started guarding her on the side, while also paying attention to her condition.
Due to the surging gold light around her body, the entire room was filled with a powerful and oppressive presence. This aura was akin to that of a powerhouse, even making the old monk break into cold sweat under this breathtaking presence. Even the barrier encompassing the premise was beginning to waver with the powerful presence.
The holy power expanded along with the flow of the soul force energy, and Tang Ning felt as if she was being grilled above a fire. When the old monk saw Tang Ning was turning red and there were signs of her exploding to death, the old monk immediately voiced out in shock.
"Don't suppress the energy, but feel its presence. Use your mental cultivation method to guide the energy along the vessels in your body and merge them into your Dantian…"
Tang Ning couldn't think straight due to the torture she was experiencing, so when she heard the old monk's voice, she didn't think much and followed what the old monk said.
As the mental cultivation method continued, the gold light around her gradually seeped into her body, and the soul force energy in her body flowed through her expanded vessels and then entered her Dantian. At this moment, she slowly exhaled and opened her eyes to look at the old monk before her.
"How is it? Are you okay?" The old monk asked worriedly. He went forward and placed his hand on her wrist to take her pulse and check the condition of her body.
The old monk was stunned after he checked. He could not help but praise. "The vessels in your body are expanded, and the soul force energy is so abundant that your body has become a holy vessel. No one would be comparable to you when you cultivate in the future."
Looking at her indifferent expression, the old monk could not help but say, "Do you know that there exists the deities in this world who can ride the clouds and mist?"
Tang Ning looked at him weirdly and asked, "You've seen one before?" According to her memory, such deities were nothing more than legends. Even as a member of a noble family, she had never seen one before.
The old monk curled his white brows with his fingers and smiled. "The Qi refinement can strengthen your muscles, the spirit master increases your longevity, the foundation establishment makes you immortal, and the way of the sword empowers you to ride the clouds. Once you reach the golden core, one becomes a Master, where they gain control over a territory. Obtaining the nascent soul increases your lifespan up to 300 years, and your soul would be able to travel everywhere. Though flying deities were rare even in the past, bowing to the celestial door will open the path."
The old monk paused for a moment, looked at her, and smiled while asking, "Are you willing to follow me to the land of the deities?"
After listening to his words, Tang Ning chuckled, as her beautiful eyes bent into a crescent. Her exquisite looks were so pleasing, no matter how one looked at her.
Just when the old monk thought that she would agree and was feeling delighted, the smile disappeared from Tang Ning's face, and she immediately replied, "No!"
The old monk's breath was stuck in his throat as if he forgot to breathe. He stared at her and said, "This is such a good opportunity, how could you not understand my efforts!"
Tang Ning's mouth twitched, and she replied. "You mean a Greek gift with no good intention."
