I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 257 Ye Nantian's Backer!

Su Yuqing raised her beautiful eyes slightly, looking at Xie An with surprise, "You don't quite trust Bai Yujing?"

Xie An didn't hide anything, "I've only met my master twice, so I really can't be sure. Besides, my master's strength is too terrifying. Even though I've reached the fifth level of Qi Refining now, I still can't see through my master's cultivation level at all. When I see her, I even feel like an ant. If I don't know some of my master's background, I really can't feel at ease."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuqing's expression also became serious. "Although I have communicated with Bai Yujing quite a bit, I have never seen her true face."

Xie An was greatly surprised to hear this.

It should be noted that Xie An became Bai Yujing's apprentice through the middleman Su Yuqing.

In addition, since Bai Yujing was the head of the Taoist sects in the world, and the Taoist sects had jointly established the Demon Suppression Bureau with the royal family, Xie An assumed that Su Yuqing, who came from the royal family, had considerable knowledge of Bai Yujing.

Unexpectedly... even Su Yuqing had never seen Bai Yujing's true face.

This put Xie An under a lot of pressure.

Could it be that the Bai Yujing I saw wasn't the real Bai Yujing?

Thoughtful...

Seemingly sensing that Xie An was under great pressure, Su Yuqing comforted him, "However, Bai Yujing has been stationed at Yujing Mountain in the capital for many years. She does have some dealings with the royal family. I have visited her many times before, and I feel that she is a person who is detached from worldly affairs and does not care much about worldly power and interests."

Saying that is as good as saying nothing...

It seems unrealistic to expect to learn anything about Bai Yujing from Su Yuqing.

It makes perfect sense when you think about it...

Xie An quickly adjusted his mindset and stopped dwelling on Bai Yujing's question. Instead, he inquired about Su Yuqing's cultivation level.

It's definitely inappropriate for outsiders to ask about such private matters.

But Xie An's question is not a problem.

Su Yuqing didn't hide anything and told her frankly, "About the same as you, Qi Refining Level 5."

Xie An was secretly shocked when he heard this.

This is an incredibly significant improvement.

Xie An entered the Qi Refining stage much earlier than Su Yuqing. He also received nourishment from the Iron Spirit Kunmu in the Kongsang Ancient City and spent ten years in seclusion before reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Su Yuqing reached the fifth level of Qi Refining simply by absorbing spiritual plants at Seven Star Village.

Is this the power of transformation?
Is the orthodox approach simply about being aggressive?
Xie An felt that his conjecture was not without merit. Those who had undergone a transformation were exceptionally talented, and because they followed the orthodox path, their cultivation speed would be very fast.

Chen Yuer was like this, and so was Su Yuqing.

This puts Xie An in the middle, putting him under a lot of pressure.

Each one is more perverted than the other.

However, compared to Chen Yuer's seventh level of Qi Refining, Su Yuqing is still closer to him.

Seeing that Xie An remained silent for a long time, Su Yuqing glared at him and asked, "What's wrong? Feeling a lot of pressure?"

Xie An laughed and said, "What are you saying? I'm overjoyed that you have such cultivation."

Xie An was telling the truth.

He's long past the age of competing with others.

Besides, Su Yuqing isn't an outsider.

She's awesome, which is equivalent to me being awesome.

There's absolutely no need to worry about saving face or being superior. And there's no need to feel like you've lost face as a man if you didn't outdo the other person.

Xie An's ambition was immortality; all other matters were minor incidents.

Su Yuqing smiled and said, "That's good. I owe my current cultivation level to your spiritual plant."

"Without your help, we wouldn't have been able to get this batch of spiritual plants. We're all on the same side, no need to be so formal. By the way, I heard from White Fox that Ye Nantian wanted to discuss something with you tonight?"

Su Yuqing said, "My master summoned me to the Demon Suppression Division for a meeting tonight. I'm a little uneasy."

"disturbed?"

Su Yuqing directly voiced her suspicions about Ye Nantian, concluding, "Hua Yunfeng and Li Chungang both entered the Qi Refining stage with their master's help in their early years. They didn't undergo a reverse transformation..."

Xie An also realized the seriousness of the matter: "You mean, Ye Nantian also knows how to replace Ni Tui?"

Su Yuqing said, "That's right. The backer behind Master is extremely powerful."
