So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed quietly.

Ever since Ling Jiuze began to practice by relying on elixirs and absorbing the cultivation of others, his cultivation has progressed rapidly and he has already broken through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage.

He was not satisfied with this, and immediately took another precious pill. His cultivation level jumped to the middle stage of Nascent Soul and his strength increased greatly.

Ling Jiuze was naturally very satisfied with this. A smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and greed and ambition flashed in his eyes.

He looked at the empty yard, smiled coldly, and talked to himself.

"As long as I can become stronger, what does it matter if I practice magic? Now I am already a master in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. Even Ling Jiucheng is no match for me."

The thought that his elder brother, who had suppressed him for so many years, could no longer be his opponent made Jiuze's expression become extremely crazy. He laughed loudly towards the sky, vaguely foreseeing the day when he would stand at the top of the family.

One night later, Madam Lan sent someone to summon Ling Jiuze to her yard.

When Ling Jiuze heard this, he quickly put his clothes in order and rushed to Madam Lan's residence.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Mrs. Lan sitting leisurely at the stone table, sipping tea, looking relaxed and contented.

Ling Jiuze hurried forward and bowed respectfully to Madam Lan.

"Mother, are you looking for me?"

Mrs. Lan smiled and motioned for him to sit down.

"How is your cultivation now? I calculated the time. Ling Jiuan should be back in half a month at most. I really can't understand why she has to walk back when she is obviously accompanied by Chen Yan. Her walking all the way has caused a lot of trouble for our assassins."

When Ling Jiuze heard this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he sneered.

"Don't worry, mother. I am already a mid-Nascent Soul expert, and I am more than capable of dealing with Ling Jiuan. Her return on foot provides us with more opportunities. I will arrange more assassins to ensure that she cannot return to Xinghuo City alive."

Mrs. Lan nodded with satisfaction. She stroked the teacup and spoke lightly.

"Very good, I trust you to do the work. As long as we can get rid of Ling Jiuan and deal with Ling Jiucheng, your position in the family will be more stable. By then, the entire Ling family will belong to us, mother and son."

When Ling Jiuze heard this, excitement flashed in his eyes and he quickly nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, mother. I will do my best to get rid of Ling Jiuan and will not let you down."

After saying this, he stood up, bowed and left, ready to continue his conspiracy plan.

After Ling Jiuze walked away, Mrs. Wang beside Madam Lan spoke with some concern.

"Madam, the aura of the Second Young Master seems to have become much darker, which makes people feel a little uneasy."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lan nodded thoughtfully.

"The aura of a demon cultivator is naturally different from that of others. Since he has chosen this path, he is destined to walk a different path."

Upon hearing this, Mother Wang sighed, her eyes full of worry.

"Is this... really okay? The Second Young Master is so obsessed with the way of magic cultivation, will there be a day when..."

Mrs. Lan shook her head gently and interrupted Mother Wang. She sighed.

"Forget it, there's nothing we can do about it. Jiuze has his own choice, and we can only support him as much as possible. As long as he can become stronger and bring glory to our family, nothing else matters."

After saying that, Madam Lan stood up and slowly walked towards the inner room.

Her back seemed somewhat lonely and heavy, carrying unspeakable secrets and burdens.

Mother Wang looked at Mrs. Lan's back, with a trace of sympathy and helplessness in her eyes.

Her young lady has suffered a lot, year after year.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and Jiuxi rushed into Madam Lan's yard happily, with an unconcealable joy on his face.

"Mom, I have good news for you!"

As she shouted, she walked quickly towards Mrs. Lan.

Mrs. Lan was just about to take a nap when she heard her daughter's voice and immediately came out with a bit of tenderness and expectation in her eyes.

"What's the matter? What makes you so happy?"

she asked softly.

Although the existence of the daughter is, in a sense, to pave the way for the son.

But isn’t this daughter the apple of his eye?

Ling Jiuxi spoke happily.

"Mother, I have achieved a breakthrough!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lan was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears of joy. She held Ling Jiuxi's hand tightly, extremely excited.

"My son! You have suffered so much. If it weren't for that loser Ling Jiuan who ruined you, how could you have gone through so much hardship... But now, you have finally broken through to the Golden Core stage. Mother is proud of you!"

Even though it was an unconventional method, she was very proud of it.

Her daughter was destined to be a phoenix soaring in the sky.

When Ling Jiuxi heard this, her face darkened and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.

"Don't be sad, mother. I will repay her one by one when she comes back. She is a waste without spiritual roots. Even if she has established her foundation, what does it matter? She is still a waste and is destined to not escape the natural barrier of the Golden Core. I will let her know that I, Ling Jiuxi, am not someone she can bully at will!"

Mrs. Lan looked at her daughter with mixed emotions in her heart.

She knew that Ling Jiuxi's hatred for Ling Jiuan was deep-rooted, but she also understood that this hatred would only make Ling Jiuxi stronger.

She patted Ling Jiuxi's hand gently.

"Okay, mother believes in you. You will make her pay the price."

Ling Jiuxi looked at his mother, his eyes gleaming with eagerness to try.

"Mother, I want to bring people to rob and kill Ling Jiuan. I want to let her know that I, Ling Jiuxi, am no longer the useless person I used to be. Now I have the ability to make her pay the price."

However, Mrs. Lan immediately shook her head, her face full of worry.

"No, your realm is unstable, it's too unsafe to do this. Ling Jiuan, that bitch, is still in the foundation-building stage, but he can kill Jindan masters by leaps and bounds. Your foundation is too poor, and you are not a match for the battle-hardened Ling Jiuan. If you act rashly, you will only put yourself in danger."

When Ling Jiuxi heard this, his eyes were filled with resentment and anger.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her flesh, but she was completely unaware.

"Damn Ling Jiuan, how could she become so strong? How could she, a useless person without any spiritual roots, kill a Jindan master? I won't accept this, I won't accept this!"

Mrs. Lan looked at her daughter's angry and unwilling expression, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

She understood her daughter's feelings and knew how deep her hatred for Ling Jiuan was.

But she knew better that Ling Jiuxi was no match for Ling Jiuan at the moment.

She stroked Ling Jiuxi's hair and comforted her softly.

"Xi'er, don't worry. Mother will find a way to deal with Ling Jiuan. The most important thing for you now is to stabilize your realm and improve your strength. When you are strong enough, it won't be too late to settle the score with Ling Jiuan."

Ling Jiuxi was convinced after hearing this.

"Don't worry, mother. I will work hard to improve my strength. When my realm is stable, I will kill that bitch Ling Jiuan with my own hands!"
