Chapter 12 His Best Friend
Just as Ling Yun was about to head to the gym equipment area, a man called out to him. "What a surprise to see you in this place, Brother Yun."
Ling Yun turned towards the voice, and said with a laugh. "Haha. I didn't expect to meet you here, Zhang Bing. I thought you were still on vacation?"
"I just came back last night, Brother Yun. But I have to leave again tomorrow for my mother's family gathering." Zhang Bing replied, as he walked over to Ling Yun. "So you want to do workout now, Brother Yun?"
"En." Ling Yun nodded to him. "I felt my body was too weak and stiff, so I wanted to build my body, that's why I joined this gym."
"You should have told me first, if you wanted to join this gym, Brother Yun!" Zhang Bing said with a shake of his head, as he patted Ling Yun's shoulder lightly, then he turned to the young woman at the front desk. "He is my brother, Wei Lan. If he needs anything, then you can help him directly, and you don't have to charge him anything."
"Alright." Wei Lan nodded in agreement, as she looked at Ling Yun with full of curiosity.
"I will guide you, Brother Yun." Zhang Bing said, then led Ling Yun to the gym equipment area.
Ling Yun nodded in agreement, since he was a beginner and had never been to a gym before, so he did need someone to guide him.
Zhang Bing didn't immediately let Ling Yun do direct workout, and he explained to him the uses of the gym equipment one by one, and also how to use each equipment properly.
After he finished explaining everything, Zhang Bing started to guide Ling Yun to do the workouts, and he guided him to do some light exercises first. About thirty minutes later, he suggested to Ling Yun to do an intermediate workout, as he continued to watch him do the workout. 'Hmm? As I recall, Brother Yun has never practiced before, but he can adapt well.'
But alas, Zhang Bing did not know that Ling Yun was now a cultivator. Even though he was still a novice cultivator, his body that had been tempered by Qi was definitely stronger than an ordinary human. Moreover, he had swallowed the Bone Tempering Pill combined with his bloodline, all of which made his body extremely strong for ordinary physical training.
An hour later, Zhang Bing asked him to stop, because the normal time for beginners was about 60 minutes. (A/N: I don't know the exact time limit, because I never go to the gym myself.)
However, Ling Yun refused. "You take it easy, Zhang Bing. I can still do more strenuous exercises, so you'd better guide me to do them."
"Why are you suddenly forcing yourself to workout this hard, Brother Yun?" Zhang Bing curiously asked.
"There's no particular reason, Zhang Bing. I just want to build my body faster." Ling Yun said with a chuckle. "Moreover, you can see for yourself that I'm not exhausted yet, so I still have plenty of energy to do it."
"Alright then." Zhang Bing nodded in agreement, then he started guiding him to do more strenuous workouts. Another hour later, he looked at Ling Yun with his mouth agape. 'How can Brother Yun be this strong? Even though he's been working out hard for two and half hours straight, but he still doesn't look exhausted at all.'

Hotel Room
After meditating for more than two hours, Ling Yin slowly opened her eyes, and stared at her niece in disbelief. At first, she couldn't believe her niece's story and explanation, but now she had experienced the results herself.
"How are you feeling, Aunt Yin?" Ling Ling asked with a broad smile.
"Unbelievable!" Ling Yin said quietly, as she continued to stare at her niece. "Does this mean I'm already a cultivator, Ling'er?"
"En, you are already a cultivator, and your current cultivation is at the Lower Spiritualist Realm, Aunt Yin. But I didn't expect that you would awaken Lightning Spiritual Veins." Ling Ling replied with a nod. "Although Lightning is one of the basic elements, but it is the strongest element, and it has considerable destructive power. Unfortunately, I do not have a cultivation technique suitable for you, Aunt Yin."
"The strongest element?" Ling Yin said in surprise. "How many basic elements are there, Ling'er? And what is your element?"
"There are a total of 8 basic elements, Aunt Yin. They are Lightning, Fire, Water (Soft)+Ice (Hard), Wind, Earth, Light, Dark, and Poison." Ling Ling then stretched out her hand, and a bluish white Qi appeared in her palm. "My element is Ice, Aunt Yin. I myself have been a cultivator for quite some time, and it was my Master who taught me the Ice technique."
Ling Yin was really surprised to see Ling Ling's Qi. "Then where can I get my cultivation technique, Ling'er?"
"Unfortunately, I don't know, Aunt Yin." Ling Ling shook her head at her aunt. "My sect is an Ice Sect, so I have no connections regarding the Lightning Element. Anyway, you have to be careful with that bastard, Aunt Yin. Because he is also a cultivator, and he is very strong."
"Eh?" Ling Yin was stunned for a moment, then she exclaimed. "You mean my stupid brother is a cultivator like us, Ling'er?"
"Yes." Ling Ling nodded to her. "Not only him, even the entire Ling Clan are cultivators, and they are quite strong."
Ling Yin's expression became gloomy as soon as she heard that, because her family had never said anything to her about it, and it was only today that she found out the truth. "No wonder they are rarely seen, it turns out that they are cultivators."
"That's because they don't live here, Aunt Yin. And they live in the Cultivator Realm." Ling Ling then explained to Ling Yin about their family, and she also explained to her about the Cultivator Realm. "Anyway, if my guess is correct, Mo Chen is also a cultivator, or rather he is a dual cultivator."
"Dual cultivator?" Ling Yin asked in confusion.
Ling Ling sighed softly. "Dual cultivators are cultivators who utilize Yang and Yin Qi at the same time, Aunt Yin. If a man is Yang, then a woman is Yin. Mo Chen, he cultivates using Yang Qi, but he also uses Yin Qi from women, that way his cultivation can increase even more fast."
"I see." Ling Yin nodded in understanding, then she fell silent thinking about Ling Yun's strength on the bed.
Ling Ling just shook her head, then pulled her aunt to her feet. "You don't need to think about it, Aunt Yin. You can ask him directly later, but now let's go for a walk first."
"Alright then." They then left the hotel room.
