Boarding Life

Even he couldn’t help but feel a bit curious.

Then, with hands behind his back, he somehow made a move and slipped into the courtyard.

"This is... Shrinking the Ground into Inches..."

Many who witnessed Ming Tianhong’s divine skill gasped.

The divine skills of a Nascent Soul master left everyone with envy in their eyes.

Subsequently, they all cautiously entered the courtyard.

Ming Lan was in meditation at that moment, naturally sensing Qin Qi’s presence and the increasing number of energies outside.

Filled with doubt, she stepped into the courtyard.

Seeing Ming Tianhong leading a crowd of people, her pupils constricted in shock, and she swallowed hard.

"Ming Lan, greetings, Family Head!"

Ming Tianhong waved his hand, "Hmm, just wait beside. Today’s event isn’t for you but your companion!"

Ming Lan did not dare to defy, obediently standing aside.

Inside, she was so shocked that her scalp tingled.

Knowing that in the family for so long, unless a major event occurred, she rarely saw Ming Tianhong.

Even when fortunate enough to see him, it was only from a distance.

Such a close view was unprecedented.

Yet he came for Qin Qi.

This made her bite her lip lightly, knowing that Qin Qi’s talent far exceeded her expectations.

And such talent was her only chance to turn her fate...

As he came into the courtyard, Ming Tianhong felt something amiss, "This aura is unusual. This lad is not breaking through to the Core Formation Stage!"

"Family Head, what do you mean by this?"

Several people behind looked puzzled, unsurprised.

Ming Tianhong took a deep breath, squinting his eyes to slits, "We’ve all been deceived by this powerful breakthrough aura. This lad is precisely breaking through to the Fake Core Stage, not Core Formation!"

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the degree of surprise was greater than Qin Qi breaking through to the Core Formation Stage.

"Family Head, how can this be?"

"This aura’s turbulent spread measures at least dozens of kilometers. Even a normal Core Formation cultivator’s breakthrough would be so. You say this lad is only breaking through to the Fake Core Stage?"

"This, this cannot be possible. If the Fake Core Stage breakthrough has such an aura, how thick must the mana within this lad be?"

Ming Tianhong did not explain further and instead looked towards Ming Lan, "Ming Lan, your partner is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage and has yet to step into the Fake Core Stage, right?"

"Indeed, it is so!" Ming Lan replied honestly.

"You heard it!" Ming Tianhong said.

A group of people exchanged glances, their expressions clearly showing surprise, "Breaking through the Fake Core Stage can have such an aura? If he were to someday break through to the Core Formation Stage, what would that be like?"

Ming Tianhong slowly said, "The thicker one’s mana, the harder it is to condense the Golden Core, even the difficulty of the Fake Core is beyond normal comparison!"

"While the lad’s aura during pill solidification is extraordinary, it is extremely chaotic. I suspect that the first time condensing a Fake Core might not be very successful!"

Listening, the crowd began to sense it as well.

Just as Ming Tianhong said!

As the aura gradually intensified, suddenly.

All the aura accompanied by an unusual phenomenon scattered apart.

"Failed..."

Seeing this, many shook their heads.

"It seems just as the Family Head said, despite his strong foundation, even condensing a Fake Core has immensely high difficulty!"

"Heh, most likely stuck at the Foundation Establishment Stage for too long. It’s not unheard of. Some cultivators with low aptitude stuck for decades or a century face continual failure despite causing substantial phenomena each time trying to form the core!"

Many strong ones shook their heads, seemingly concluding Qin Qi’s situation.

"Father!"

At this time, Ming Xueying hurriedly arrived.

Seeing his daughter, Ming Tianhong had a headache, "Why did you follow along?"

Ming Xueying smiled sweetly, "Father, you know it’s not that easy to leave me behind, huh, Ming Lan? Why are you here too?"

"The one attempting the breakthrough is the one you mentioned earlier!" Ming Tianhong explained.

Ming Xueying then realized, "Did he fail in breaking through?"

Ming Tianhong calmly said, "I know you’re curious about types you haven’t encountered. However, this lad isn’t as exceptional as you imagined!"

"Although he has a strong foundation, his chance of breaking through to the Core Formation Stage is very slim. You better not focus your attention too much on him!"

Ming Xueying heard her father’s judgment with some disdain, "Father, you’ve never met him, so how can you come to such a conclusion?"

Ming Tianhong snorted lightly.

With his vast experience?

However, as the thought occurred.

Suddenly, Qin Qi slowly walked out from the room.

"I wasn’t aware my breakthrough caused such a commotion!"

"And attracted so many seniors to watch. Now having failed to breakthrough, I’ve made the seniors laugh!"

After he failed to breakthrough, he sensed the movement outside and naturally faced it first.

As Qin Qi appeared, Ming Tianhong and others all had wide eyes.

They assumed Qin Qi wouldn’t be too young, after all, the Land of Overflowing Spirits only prohibited old Core Formation cultivators.

But did not stipulate for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

No one thought Qin Qi would be so young.

Ming Tianhong surprising asked, "May I ask, young friend, how long have you been cultivating?"

Qin Qi hearing it was puzzled.

How long cultivating?

Are they asking my age?

He spoke, "I am twenty-one this year!"

Upon Qin Qi’s response.

Many strong ones gasped, shocked and dumbfounded, somewhat disbelieving.

"Young friend, this is the Family Head Ming, make sure not to falsely report your age. After all, the Family Head has sharp eyes and won’t be wrong!"

Qin Qi heard this, looking towards the central figure.

"So that’s Ming Tianhong?"

For a moment, thought of Ming Hu’s advice came to mind.

Thinking the person to deliver the letter is right here, he pondered.

Yet, thinking carefully, he decided not to hand over Ming Hu’s letter.

After all, revealing something explosive and not understanding Ming Tianhong well, it’s better not to hasten the situation!

Face crestfallen, Qin Qi said, "Senior, regarding age, this junior wouldn’t forget!"

The crowd exchanged glances not believing much.

To know, though the Ming Family also has many talents, reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment at twenty-one, even over a century is rare!!
