Harness Cultivator

"If the Young Master says it's not reliable, then it's not." Tang Lingling replied.

Lee Tao smirked as he released his hand and stared at Lin Cheng. "Welp, you heard my servant. Your map is trash, so we're going to split up."

Lin Cheng twitched his brows as he tried his best to remain calm.

Lin Cheng then held an awkward smile as he nodded his head. "Since Brother Lee Tao seemed prejudiced against me, then I shouldn't convince you further."

Afterward, Lin Cheng cupped his fist as he walked away.

"Why are you always so unreasonable?" Yao Meixiang suddenly said when Lin Cheng was far away.

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders.

"Why do you care if I'm reasonable or not? Don't think you can judge me just because you were humiliated about being my fiance." He then said in a fierce tone.

"Let's go, Tang Lingling. Time to explore the cave." Lee Tao added as he walked toward the opposite path.

Tang Lingling didn't say anything else as she followed behind Lee Tao.

Meanwhile, Yao Meixiang's face was flushed in anger as she stomped her foot grumpily and returned to Lin Cheng's group.

Sometime later, Lee Tao began inspecting the wall structure around the cave.

'Hmm, these walls could be used in the future.' Lee Tao smiled wickedly. He paused his footstep as he turned around and faced Tang Lingling.

"Tang Lingling, go and dig out these walls." Lee Tao ordered.

Tang Lingling was dumbfounded as she glanced at the thick walls. "A-Are you being serious?"

"Do I look like the type to joke?"

Tang Lingling shook her head.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and dig them up." Lee Tao raised his tone.

Tang Lingling smiled bitterly at his command. She extended her hand out and touched the thick wall.

Feeling the thick wall and the durableness of it, Tang Lingling fell into despair.

'How am I supposed to dig up the walls?' Tang Lingling cried inwardly. She didn't have a shovel in her spatial ring nor any tools for digging.

"Y-Young Master, why do you need these walls?" Tang Lingling asked awkwardly.

Lee Tao became irritated as he snorted. "Why are you asking so many questions? If you're not willing to assist me, then scram to that lass Yao Meixaing's side."

Hearing his irritated tone, Tang Lingling no longer delayed her movement as she coated her hand with profound qi.

Afterward, she began slicing the walls down with the profound qi acting as the blade.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao yawned as he walked toward the edge and sat down.

"Make sure to dig as many walls as you can. In the meantime, I'm going to take a nap." Lee Tao said as he closed his eyes.

Tang Lingling held a resentful gaze at Lee Tao, who had quickly fallen asleep.

"I was a complete fool." Tang Lingling muttered as she began digging the wall. "I thought he was being compassionate and caring when he held my waist in that space fluctuation."

While Tang Lingling continued to regret her decision on following Lee Tao and somehow became his miner. Lin Cheng had begun leading the rest of the group in the opposite direction of Lee Tao.

"The map stated that there would be a pond up ahead, and we can bathe in it to improve our cultivation." Lin Cheng said as he pointed ahead.

"Hmm, is it one of those miraculous ponds that can extract the impurities of our body?" Meng Xue asked.

Lin Cheng curled his lips upward as he nodded his head.

"That's one of the main reasons why we're exploring this ancient ruin." He then replied.

Meng Xue nodded her head as she skipped happily, as they advanced forward.

However, their movement came to a halt when Yao Meixiang paused her footsteps.

"How did you come to know about this ancient ruin?" Yao Meixiang suddenly asked

It was a question she had been wanting to ask ever since she recalled Lee Tao's attitude had changed when he met Lin Cheng.

"Hmm, would you believe me if I had said that I got the ancient ruin location and map from a mysterious woman?" Lin Cheng stopped his movement as he turned around and replied to her question.

"A mysterious woman?" Yao Meixiang raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, a mysterious woman. Although I'm not sure why she gave the map to me, her cultivation realm was no joke, and I don't see a reason for her to harm me."

"What's her cultivation realm?"

Lin Cheng held a profound gaze as he paused for a moment. After that, he opened his mouth, and in a low voice, he whispered softly, "If my sense wasn't wrong, then I suspect she was at least in the Heaven Spirit Realm."

"WHAT??!"

This time, it wasn't just Yao Meixiang alone being shocked. Jia Qiu, Meng Xue, and the rest of the members were also deeply shocked when Lin Cheng said the mysterious woman had a Heaven Spirit Realm cultivation.

"H-How is that possible?" Meng Xue asked in a dumbfounded tone.

"The Heaven Spirit Realm is rare enough to even appear in the Tianyun Kingdom, so how did you manage to encounter one?" She added.

The Heaven Spirit Realm was 5 realms above the Elementary Spirit Realm. It was unimaginable for them to believe such a person would hand out an ancient ruin without any payment.

Lin Cheng shrugged his shoulders.

"If I had known the answer to that question, then I wouldn't be exploring the ancient ruins with everyone else." Lin Cheng said as he cupped his fists.

And he continued, "I know that Brother Lee Tao had his doubts on me and it's completely understandable. However, I hope that we can trust each other from this point forward."

His words were obvious enough that they were directed at Yao Meixiang, who had created the fuss.

Meanwhile, Yao Meixiang held a complicated expression as she cupped her fist slightly at Lin Cheng.

"Sorry Senior Brother Lin Cheng, Yao Meixiang simply wanted to clear some of her doubts and didn't mean to offend Lin Cheng." Yao Meixiang apologized.

Lin Cheng smiled briefly as he nodded his head.

"Since everyone is now clear, we shall head to the ponds to enjoy the benefits."
