Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Ancient Martial Artist and Martial Cultivator

An Yiqing suddenly snapped back to her senses, recalling how she had just addressed the man, a blush tinting her cheeks. Nevertheless, she still flashed a brilliant smile, her gaze intently fixed on Gu Yelin’s deep black eyes, "Ah Lin! Ah Lin! You are my Ah Lin!"

Upon hearing the girl’s tender call, Gu Yelin lost control, wrapped her in his arms, and planted a crazy, scorching deep kiss.

He was absolutely in love with that sweet, tender little mouth! He was head over heels for this tender, tempting girl!

Ignoring the astonished and envious glances of the people around, the arrogantly domineering man tightly embraced the soft, beautiful girl next to the romantically colorful fountain, melding their kiss into their souls, into their very bones!

After the kiss ended, the dazed An Yiqing was led out of the amusement park by Gu Yelin, who hadn’t forgotten to buy her the ice cream she wanted to eat.

"What do you want to eat for dinner?" Gu Yelin asked considerately, fastening An Yiqing’s seat belt and staring at her kiss-reddened lips, his eyes gradually darkening.

"No more kissing!" Sensing the aroma of a lone wolf in heat, An Yiqing quickly covered her mouth, watching Gu Yelin with a guarded expression on her face.

Gu Yelin couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the sight of the girl guarding against wolves, his large hand affectionately ruffled her hair, "I’ll let you off today, think about what you want to eat."

"I want to eat the food you cook." An Yiqing’s eyes lit up, remembering the delicious meal from the morning, she felt hungry again.

"Alright, let’s go home." Ignition, gear shifting, acceleration – all done in one smooth motion!

—— Foodie Divider Line ——

Although Gu Yelin had only studied cooking with Old Zhang for half a month, some people are simply favored by heaven. Gu Yelin’s culinary skills had reached perfection, prompting Old Zhang to lament continuously that it was a crime against heaven for him not to pursue a career in the food industry.

The dinner tonight was sumptuous, with braised pork ribs, Coca-Cola chicken wings, and a refreshing garlic-sprinkled lettuce dish. These were all ordinary homestyle dishes, but once transformed by Chef Gu’s meticulous preparation, they became something extraordinary. The braised pork ribs had a rich sauce, the Coca-Cola chicken wings had a perfect sweet and crispy tenderness, while the garlic-sprinkled lettuce was refreshingly delicious and paired well with rice. Foodie An Yiqing sat at the dining table, her mouth continuously munching cutely like an adorable chipmunk.

Watching the girl eat with such relish, Gu Yelin nodded with satisfaction. He indeed wanted his little white rabbit to plump up a bit.

"Mm, by the way, who did you find out the murderer is?" An Yiqing suddenly remembered the previous incident, stopped her chopsticks, and looked up to ask.

"A ninja from Country Bai." Gu Yelin added another chopstick of food to An Yiqing’s bowl.

"A ninja?" An Yiqing was somewhat surprised, "Are there really ninjas? I thought they were already a lost art."

"In the world that most people can’t see, there are many incredible existences."

"Like what?" An Yiqing’s interest was piqued, and she pursued the topic.

"Like ninjas, Onmyojis, Martial Cultivators, vampires, and so on." Gu Yelin dropped a bombshell.

"Martial Cultivators?! Vampires?!" An Yiqing exclaimed in shock, realizing that the legends recorded in the Medicine Sect’s ancient books still existed in reality.

"Yes." Gu Yelin affirmed with a nod, "Ancient martial arts is just the first step on the path of the strong. Beyond that, there are even higher peaks."

After Gu Yelin’s detailed explanation, An Yiqing understood that ancient martial arts was simply the first step on the path to becoming a formidable individual. Martial Cultivators weren’t like Sun Wukong from Journey to the West who could transform in seventy-two different ways. Martial Cultivators were just a general term for those who practiced ancient martial arts. The entire process was divided into six stages: Qi Refinement, Transformation, Great Achievement, Innate Realm, Demigod, and Breaking Void to Divinity. Before reaching the Innate Realm, one was known as an Ancient Martial Artist. After reaching the Innate Realm, one was revered as a Martial Cultivator. Her own strength had just reached the peak of Great Achievement.

"So at which stage are you now?" An Yiqing asked curiously.

"Mid-level Demigod."

"Mid-level Demigod?!" An Yiqing was unsettled, "Are there many people at the Mid-level Demigod stage?"

"Just a handful." Gu Yelin calmly dropped another bombshell.

An Yiqing sat staring blankly at the man in front of her, no wonder! No wonder he established "Red Thorn" right under Tianzi’s feet without dissent, and moreover, he was so highly valued by the authorities! It turned out he possessed such formidable strength! Mid-level Demigod! That was practically a demi-god!

"After reaching Breaking Void to Divinity, can you really live forever?" An Yiqing suddenly remembered Shennong Shi from the Ancient Space.

"No. Reaching Breaking Void to Divinity just means having a longer lifespan than ordinary people. It doesn’t grant eternal life."

"Then what comes after Breaking Void to Divinity?" An Yiqing asked further.

Gu Yelin shook his head, "Up to now, no one has achieved the peak of Breaking Void to Divinity, so what lies beyond is unknown to anyone."

"Are the Ancient Great Gods of legend really existent?"

"Correct. Shennong, Zhurong, Gonggong – these great gods were people who achieved Breaking Void to Divinity, but because they didn’t break through the peak, they fell into the cycle of rebirth."

An Yiqing tried hard to digest the shock brought by Gu Yelin’s revelation, realizing that the world contained such powerful beings, then... "If that’s the case, why hasn’t my master ever told me about this?" Moreover, there was no mention of such things in the Medicine Sect’s ancient books.

"According to the Gu Family Ancient Records, the Medicine Sect does indeed have ancestors who are still among the living. However, neither your master nor any of the previous Sect Leaders have reached the Demigod stage after breaking through the Innate Realm, hence they are unaware. You must know, if everyone were to learn of these things, chaos would ensue."

"That makes sense, yearning for a height that one cannot achieve is a painful matter," An Yiqing nodded in agreement, yet with a trace of confusion, "But why haven’t I ever encountered ninjas, Onmyoji, or the like until now?"

"The Innate Realm is a hurdle. Only after crossing this threshold does one get recognized as a Martial Cultivator. There is an unspoken rule within the circle that Martial Cultivators cannot expose themselves in front of ordinary people and Ancient Martial Artists. That is the only way to maintain the balance." Gu Yelin provided a thorough explanation for An Yiqing.
