The person who walked in was Ling Xiao. His face was full of sorrow.
Even though the old man lying in the hall had not taught him much, the old man's love for him was undeniable.
When he heard that the old man had passed away, he immediately rushed over. He did not want to see the old man pass away like this. No matter what price he had to pay, he had to save the old man.
Even though he did not have the confidence, he would not give up until he tried.
"Xiao Er, the Grand Elder has already passed away. Don't disturb him," Ling Cang comforted.
Ling Xiao did not respond to Ling Cang. Instead, he glared at Ling Yan and yelled, "If the old man really does not wake up, I will make sure your entire family dies with him."
If it was before, Ling Yan would definitely have yelled at Ling Xiao, and even taught him a lesson.
However, there was only guilt in his heart now, and he couldn't say anything to Ben.
Indeed, if it were not for the two brothers plotting a rebellion, the Li and Lan families taking advantage of the situation, the Ling family would not have met with such a disaster.
"Alright, stop arguing here. Hurry up and let the old man enter the coffin," Ling Chen said unhappily.
Even though he knew that Ling Xiao was the Grand Elder's disciple, seeing this brat being so arrogant made him slightly unhappy.
"I said that I can save the old man. No one is allowed to touch the old man," Ling Xiao said calmly as he bent down to look at the Grand Elder.
"Bastard, don't think that just because you are the Grand Elder's disciple that you can disrespect your elders. The Grand Elder's breath is already gone. Even a heaven-defying pill cannot bring him back to life, let alone a brat like you. Ling Cang, chase him out, don't let him delay the Grand Elder's rest." Ling Chen slammed the table and yelled.
Even though Ling Cang was the Clan Leader, the authority of the previous generation's Grand Elder was not lower than his. He was about to go over and persuade Ling Xiao to leave.
"Wastrel, Xiao Jin!" Ling Xiao called out with a frown.
The Spirit Beast Bracer flashed, and the Fire Qilin and the Golden Wolf King appeared on either side of Ling Xiao.
The two Spirit Beasts sensed Ling Xiao's anger and glared at the group. As long as Ling Xiao gave the order, they would pounce and kill them.
All the elders looked at Ling Xiao's two majestic spiritual beasts and their hearts were filled with awe!
For a moment, no one dared to move, even Ling Chen shut his mouth, his mind was filled with thoughts, "This guy can't be the legendary Beast Tamer right?"
Beast Tamers were extremely rare in the entire continent. They were people with extraordinary talents in Tenbin.
They could work with the Spiritual Beast Sect and tame Spiritual Beasts.
Every Beast Tamer was also divided into ranks. Those who could tame Rank 1 Spirit Beasts were Rank 1 Beast Tamers, those who could tame Rank 2 Spirit Beasts were Rank 2 Beast Tamers, and so on.
The higher the rank of a beast tamer, the more fearsome he was. He might not be very powerful, but he could make a large group of spirit beasts follow him. With high-rank spirit beasts by his side at all times, who would dare to disrespect him?
It could be said that Beast Tamers were even rarer than alchemists and blacksmiths.
"Elder Chen, let Xiao Er try. He … he's a Rank 2 Alchemist, maybe he has a good idea." Ling Cang said to Ling Chen.
He only said this to give Ling Chen a way out of this embarrassing situation.
"Rank 2 Alchemist?" All the elders were shocked, but in their hearts, they would not believe it even if they were beaten to death.
"Sigh, alright. Since this kid is the Great Elder's disciple, I believe the Great Elder will not blame him for venting his sins." Ling Chen sighed.
All the elders turned their faces away. None of them believed that Ling Xiao had the ability to bring the dead back to life. Unless he was at the legendary Refined Saint Stage or Godly Stage, then there might be a glimmer of hope.
However, Ling Xiao himself was also not 100% confident. It could only be said that there was a glimmer of hope.
Ling Xiao gathered his thoughts and continuously called out in his heart, "Elder Lu, quickly come out and save him."
Of course, Lu Weng, who was in Ling Xiao's sea of consciousness, could feel the urgency in Ling Xiao's heart. He immediately replied, "Little friend, although this old man has some ability, you can't keep tormenting this old man like this. I've only recovered a little bit of vitality during this period of time, and now you want to exploit me again!"
"Elder Lu, I've never thought of tormenting you. I just want my drop of Ten Thousand Year Tree's Milk back. Don't tell me you want to go back on your word?" Ling Xiao said.
A few days ago, Ling Xiao had helped Lu Weng auction off the Green Needle Silver, and Lu Weng had promised Ling Xiao a drop of Ten Thousand Year Tree's Milk.
Right now, Ling Xiao was planning to use this drop of Ten Thousand Year Tree's Milk to save the Great Elder.
Ling Xiao had consumed the Ten Thousand Year Tree's Milk before, so he felt that its effect should not be as simple as increasing one's lifespan by 100 years. He believed that it definitely had the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
Otherwise, how would Lu Weng have been able to make all the plants in the Illusionary Valley grow again in such a short period of time?
Lu Weng shook his head. He had originally wanted to earn some of Ling Xiao's money, but he didn't expect that he would have to spit it out now. He smiled bitterly and had no choice but to contribute a drop of Crystal White Tree's Milk.
Every drop of Ten Thousand Year Tree's Milk was the location of his Profound Qi, and he didn't know how long it would take for him to condense a drop of Crystal White Tree's Milk. However, since he had previously promised Ling Xiao, he wouldn't go back on his word. Moreover, Ling Xiao didn't know the value of the Green Needle Silver that Lu Weng had obtained. Otherwise, Lu Weng wouldn't have used a drop of Ten Thousand Year Tree's Milk to ask Ling Xiao to help him auction it.
Ling Xiao placed his finger on the Grand Elder's dry lips and guided Lu Weng's drop of Ten Thousand Year Tree's Milk into his mouth.
Ling Xiao looked at the Grand Elder and softly said, "Grandfather, I know that you won't die so easily, right? You still haven't taught me to become a King. You're too useless as my master. If you don't wake up, I won't acknowledge you as my master in the future. That's too shameful."
The Elders in the hall all mistakenly thought that Ling Xiao couldn't accept the fact that the Grand Elder had passed away.
Ling Cang felt very gratified in his heart. At least his grandson was loyal and loyal.
No one knew that while Ling Xiao was speaking, he had already dripped the Ten Thousand Year Tree's Milk into the Grand Elder's mouth.
At this moment, a pure and vast energy spread out from the Grand Elder's lifeless body, and the wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The energy that spread out gave the Elders in the hall a big fright.
"This … What's going on?" Ling Chen looked at the Grand Elder, who was undergoing a strange change on the ground.
"So pure, so powerful." Ling Cang muttered as he felt the energy that the Grand Elder was emitting.
All the Elders looked at the scene in front of them with faces full of shock.
They saw that the Grand Elder was wrapped in a ball of green light that was full of vitality. The green light emitted a dazzling light that made people unable to look directly at it.
Gradually, the Grand Elder's wounds not only recovered under the nourishment of the green light, but also underwent an astonishing change. His originally white hair gradually turned black, and his withered old skin became firm and ruddy.
Everyone stared at the scene in disbelief. Even Ling Xiao himself was startled by what he saw.
"Could it be that the Ten Thousand Year Tree's Milk also has the effect of rejuvenating one's youth?" Ling Xiao wondered in his heart.
Not long after, the Grand Elder's changes gradually stopped, and he actually returned to his middle-aged appearance. His heart also began to beat, and his aura gradually became stronger.
Just at the moment when the green light disappeared, the Grand Elder opened his eyes. His eyes were incomparably sharp, and a powerful aura spread out, causing everyone to take a few steps back.
Waves of powerful spiritual energy from the surroundings surged towards the Grand Elder. He was no longer surrounded by the green light, but by a golden light like the sun, appearing extremely holy and inviolable.
The Grand Elder's aura became stronger and stronger, and the temporary meeting room was immediately crushed by the spiritual energy that rushed over.
Everyone hurriedly ran out of the meeting room.
"Grand … Grand Elder broke through!" Ling Chen said with his mouth wide open in disbelief.
For a moment, Ling Cang and the other Elders' hearts were thrown into a storm. They actually could not help but want to worship the Grand Elder who was emitting such a powerful aura.
Luckily their consciousness was still quite strong, otherwise they really would have knelt down.
The surrounding Ling family members who were cleaning up the mess were all forced to the ground by the Grand Elder's powerful aura, their hearts filled with reverence.
Suddenly, the Grand Elder, who had been standing all this time, emitted an ear-piercing crackling sound. Then, he let out a hearty laugh, and then pushed himself up from the ground.
"I've finally broken through!" The Grand Elder's voice was like a morning bell, ringing in the hearts of every Ling family member.
At this moment, the Grand Elder finally became the protector in the hearts of everyone in the Ling family. They firmly believed that as long as the Grand Elder was still alive, the Ling family would definitely continue to prosper.
Ling Chen, Ling Cang, and the other Elders all bowed to the Grand Elder in midair, and said, "Congratulations to the Grand Elder for successfully breaking through and becoming a King."
Ling Xiao looked at the Supreme Elder in midair as well, and he couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart as he sensed the powerful pressure emanating from the Supreme Elder. "Is this the pressure of a King Rank expert?
Normally, when a Martial Artist reached the Spirit Master level, they would be able to produce an aura and use it to shock their opponents. However, that had to be done on purpose. Right now, the Grand Elder only had to stand there, and everyone below the Spirit Master level felt a sense of pressure. If the Grand Elder deliberately released his aura, then anyone below the Spirit Master level would be heavily injured, and anyone below the Mystic Knight level would immediately die.
This was the terrifying thing about a King Level Expert.
"You can all pass." The Grand Elder said as he slowly descended from midair.
After the Grand Elder stood still, his gaze fell on Ling Xiao. In a flash, he appeared beside Ling Xiao and heavily patted Ling Xiao's shoulder, saying, "Xiao Er, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I really would have gone to see the King of Hell."
"Hehe, that's because my life is tough. Even the King of Hell wouldn't dare to take you in." Ling Xiao laughed heartily.
This time, Ling Xiao was really very happy. He had finally saved the Grand Elder.
"Alright, I won't be unreasonable anymore. Then, do you still feel that having a master like me is a disgrace to you?" The Grand Elder couldn't help but tease him. He was very happy in his heart!
In fact, long ago, the Grand Elder knew that his time was coming. Only by breaking through to the King Level could he extend his lifespan by two hundred years. Unfortunately, his body had suffered many injuries in his early years, and he had many hidden injuries. Thus, he had never been able to break through from half-step King Level to the true King Level.
This was also the reason why he was in a hurry to choose a successor. He only hoped that in the last two years, he could help the Ling Clan cultivate a successor who could protect the Ling Clan in the future.
Who knew that Ling Mo and Ling Yan would betray him, causing him to fight Hun Ming, and both of them would die in battle.
Fortunately, he had cultivated the Vajra Five Transformation Technique, which allowed his internal organs to still have vitality for a certain period of time.
If Ling Xiao had saved him a little later, when all the muscle cells in his body had died, even the milk of the Ten Thousand Year Tree wouldn't be able to bring him back to life.
The Grand Elder looked around at the miserable state of the Ling Clan. He frowned and looked at the group of Elders. Finally, his gaze fell on Ling Yan.
Ling Yan stepped forward and knelt in front of the Grand Elder. He repented, "Ling Yan has failed the Ling Clan. Grand Elder, please grant me death."
