The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1460: Shortcut to the Golden Core

Wang Sijing had already taken off the phoenix crown on her head and the red bridal robe draped over her body, now only wearing a tight-fitting long robe in vibrant red.

Since it was summer, the robe she wore was very thin, just a bit thicker than mere gauze, and through this red robe, her fair skin could still be seen.

Both Chen Moxiang and Xv Jiazhi recognized Wang Sijing. They had attended her wedding today, and seeing her appear here brought an unconcealable expression of surprise to their faces.

Lin Tian, however, was not surprised. Swapping the cat for the crown prince, so this is where the prince was hidden.

No wonder the lights were on earlier.

Clearly, Wang Sijing was currently in a state of cultivation, and the array beneath her feet was indeed assisting her cultivation, and quite powerfully so. The strange thing was that Lin Tian couldn’t feel any amplification power from this array at all.

Wang Sijing was famously a cultivation fanatic from the Wang Family, something Lin Tian was already aware of. But he didn’t expect that today, right after he told her about the method to cultivate the Golden Core, she couldn’t wait and ran here to cultivate.

"Master." Xv Jiazhi shot a glance at Lin Tian, then made a throat-slitting gesture.

In Xv Jiazhi’s eyes, Wang Sijing was an enemy. She was the most talented of this generation in the Wang Family, and the next patriarch would definitely be her. She was a major threat, and it was best to eliminate her early.

Law? Sorry, in Mr. Xv’s eyes, those two words hold little value in the ancient martial family circle. Even if he kills Wang Sijing now, if the Wang Family finds out, it would only result in their hunt for him, not involving the judiciary.

Xv Jiazhi also knew that today Lin Tian had reconciled with the Wang Family. Saying it was turning hostility into friendship, he didn’t believe such words at all. Absolute nonsense!

Why reconcile? The enmity between both sides had been fermenting for a year and it involved more than one life. Saying it’s reconciliation is just a facade, deep down they must be sharpening their blades.

"Master, this woman must die. If she spreads the word about us breaking into the underground palace today, there will be numerous follow-ups to deal with, it’s best to cut the weeds and pull out the roots now. While she’s in her cultivation, I’ll go give her a slash!"

Upon saying this, Xv Jiazhi reached to his waist, a black folding knife, once the blade was revealed, it gleamed with cold light. This knife was incredibly sharp!

Suddenly, Lin Tian grabbed his arm. "There’s no time."

"What?" Xv Jiazhi asked in confusion. He didn’t understand what Lin Tian meant. Was he hesitant to kill this woman?

"Her cultivation has already ended. If you go now, not only will you fail to kill her, but you might get killed by her with a single palm strike." Lin Tian said lightly.

Xv Jiazhi’s pupils immediately shrank, and when he looked at Wang Sijing again, indeed she had already opened her eyes.

Her eyes were like those of a cobra. Cold-blooded, venomous, devoid of any warmth, seemingly on the hunt for an opportunity to strike fatally.

"Good eye, Mr. Lin," Wang Sijing said coldly, then turned to Xv Jiazhi with a sneering smile: "Didn’t expect the infamous second brother of the Xv Family to be so despicable. Attacking a defenseless woman in the midst of her cultivation; is this the family etiquette of the Xv Family?"

Her words were laced with mockery, but Xv Jiazhi just smiled lightly as if he hadn’t heard. His mastery of Qi Gong was superb, and these words did not stir his anger. Even if he was indeed angry, he wouldn’t show it.

Lin Tian crossed his arms over his chest, eyeing Wang Sijing top to bottom, as if seeing her for the first time.

"Have you formed your Golden Core?" Lin Tian asked.

Individuals who have cultivated a Golden Core emanate a certain aura; unseen and intangible, it warns of danger.

Yet, Lin Tian was not certain, hence his question.

Wang Sijing let out a cold laugh, performing a fist-salute toward Lin Tian with both hands cupping together, she said, "Thanks to Mr. Lin, I have successfully cultivated the Golden Core. The method you provided, indeed, proved effective. Speaking of which, I must thank you."

"You’re truly a martial arts aficionado; seeing the hope of forming the Golden Core, you abandon your wedding and dash to this underground palace. If your family’s two ancestors were to know, they might jump with anger?"

Wang Sijing’s smile grew wider, "The wedding is just a formality, after all. Zhou Chenghang to me is merely a man; is it more important than the path of cultivation? Despite having the title of husband and wife, I won’t let him touch me. I don’t care which woman he wants to find. I came here under the instruction of the ancestors, why not?"

The corner of Lin Tian’s mouth twitched slightly. Mr. Wang instructed it? This is the ancient martial family? A family valuing rules and face over anything?

It makes sense; Mr. Wang is already at the Late Stage Golden Elixir. If not a fanatic with a particular obsession for cultivation, such heights are impossible.

"Half an hour before you arrived here, my Golden Core had already formed. Now it’s merely in a stabilized state."

Wang Sijing’s face displayed an expression of pride as she declared: "Lin Tian, really, your method indeed works wonder. Yesterday, the two ancestors conversed with me, instructing me to offer you a tea tribute today. At that time, I hardly understood, thinking the most detestable being in this world was you, yet my two ancestors wanted me to pay tribute on my wedding day."

"The ancestors explained that only reconciliation with you would enable the Wang Family to reintegrate into the ancient martial circle and not be left behind, offering a chance to overturn the status quo. Additionally, my father might receive your treatment and possibly awaken. At that time, I scoffed at those words, thinking even if reconciled, you wouldn’t treat the Wang Family well. Yet, seeing the expression of the two ancestors, I decided to apologize to you."

"While serving you tea, I stood right before you. In my sleeve was a poisonous needle concealed, and it took me considerable resolve not to shoot it. Because I wasn’t confident, the pressure from a Golden Core expert was immense. As I was about to exit the room, you told me the shortcut to cultivating the Golden Core, at that time I still didn’t quite believe you, but decided to try it, hence had my maid stand in for the wedding ceremony, and came here without delay."

"Cultivating with such doubts and never expected it to succeed the first time. Do you know how grateful I felt towards you then? However, to my further surprise, meeting you here. Huh, a wolf remains a wolf and can never become a friend!"

Wang Sijing spoke lavishly, her eyes filled with growing killing intent. In her view, Lin Tian must die! The Wang Family’s forbidden ground is not accessible to everyone!

Lin Tian remained unmoved, smiling as he said, "You think that having formed your Golden Core, you’re now my opponent?"

Wang Sijing snorted heavily with a ’hiss’, tearing her sleeve on her left hand, although softer in texture, in the hands of a Golden Core expert, it became a short whip! Striking even once would result in serious injury!
