"You are the Blazing Star Envoy!!"
Looking at the Dark Star insignia in his hand, the black star buried in flames, this exactly represented the identity of the Blazing Star Envoy.
Lin Sheng flicked his hand and shot the insignia back. At this moment, he basically believed the other party's identity.
The Blazing Star Envoy is definitely considered a high-level member of the Dark Star Organization. The petite and frail-looking woman in front of him should also be a God-Form Martial Artist.
No wonder he only sensed her aura when she entered the courtyard.
Besides God-Form Martial Artists, there should be no one else who can do this.
Moreover, he could feel an indescribable sense of danger from the petite woman in front of him, all of which proved her extraordinary strength.
"That's right." The petite woman nodded with a smile, her two lively eyes constantly scanning Lin Sheng up and down. "I heard you're not even 20 yet, I didn't expect you to be so strong, tsk tsk, no wonder Sister Qi values you so much."
"Might I ask why Senior has come this time?"
Lin Sheng didn't mind the other party's slightly teasing words. He cupped his hands in a salute and asked directly.
"Don't call me Senior, you're making me sound old. My name is Lan Man, you can call me Lan Jie." Seeing Lin Sheng so serious, the petite woman covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Uh... Lan Jie."
Lin Sheng was a bit speechless, but he still changed the address as requested.
"Not bad, not bad, the youth is teachable." Lan Man had a smile on her face and quickly waved her hand again. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Naturally, I came here for you this trip."
"For me?" Lin Sheng was startled, already having a guess in his heart.
"That's right, I came for you, specifically to clean up your mess. To have a dignified Blazing Star Envoy like myself clean up after you, a Hidden Star, you kid are the first one in the organization."
Lan Man spoke with her arms crossed, looking amused.
After speaking, her figure flickered and she was already by the stone table, sitting opposite Lin Sheng.
"You caused such a stir in Luoshui County, killing even the Imperial Court's officials cleanly. Especially those Martial Artists the Prefecture Yamen painstakingly gathered, you killed some and released others. You really stirred up a hornet's nest this time."
Speaking of this, Lan Man paused, then picked up the teapot on the stone table and poured herself a cup of tea.
"That person from Tianhong Pavilion values the Martial Artists of the Beast Suppression Army very much. This time, there might even be a God-Form Martial Artist who comes personally. Sister Qi has already gone to Nanli and will only return after some time. To prevent any accidents from happening to you, she asked me to personally make a trip."
"Divine Transformation Realm?"
Hearing this, Lin Sheng's face showed a slight change, but upon careful thought, this possibility was indeed very high. After all, a few days ago in the County Yamen's prison, it would have been difficult for Bones Transformation Martial Artists to deal with those beast-transformed Martial Artists, especially the last one, Tie He.
Considering this, it was quite normal for a God-Form Martial Artist from the Prefecture Yamen to come personally.
Thinking of this, Lin Sheng couldn't help but feel a bit more grateful towards Qi Ning. For her to invite a God-Form Martial Artist to resolve the matter, she must have paid something.
"Then thank you, Lan Jie."
"Alright, I will stay in Luoshui County for a few days to help you resolve the trouble."
After speaking, Lan Man had already finished the tea in the cup in one gulp. As the last word fell, her figure had already disappeared beside the stone table.
"Such fast speed."
Witnessing her figure disappear, Lin Sheng couldn't help but exclaim.
The faint sense of danger emanating from Lan Man was slightly less than that from Qi Ning, roughly comparable to the Divine Transformation Realm elder from the Reverse Tenth Floor in the Congyun Mountains back then.
However, her speed was extremely fast, and her concealment methods were also quite superb.
Judging from her techniques, she was somewhat similar to Qi Ning, likely excelling in speed and burst like an assassin.
However, judging from the information the other party just revealed, her relationship with Qi Ning should be quite good.
Lin Sheng rubbed his nose, released his senses, and after confirming that the other party had indeed left, he turned back to his room and immersed himself in cultivation again.
Although Lan Man was here to resolve this matter and he shouldn't have any worries, he was used to considering the worst-case scenario for everything.
Therefore, it was best to increase his strength as quickly as possible.
On the other side, at the top of the tallest pavilion building in Luoshui County, Lan Man's figure appeared.
She held a black umbrella to block the great sun in the sky, her eyes gazing into the distance, landing on Lin Sheng's residence.
"Tsk tsk, so young, yet possessing such strength. The ancestral Bloodline is truly remarkable. What's strange is that I didn't sense the aura of an ancestral Bloodline user from him."
A look of doubt appeared on her charming face. Her Bloodline was the Ten Thousand Senses Spirit Fox, extremely sensitive to the aura of various powerful exotic beasts, and she could even directly sense the Bloodline type of a Martial Artist.
However, she didn't sense anything from Lin Sheng.
"No, it's not that there were no findings. This kid's aura is quite strange, like various Bloodlines exist. How could this situation occur? I must have sensed it wrong, perhaps it's related to the martial arts he Cultivates."
After thinking for a long while, Lan Man shook her head slightly, her gaze falling on the location of the County Yamen in the city.
"Although a few days have passed, there should still be some traces left. Let me see if there are any additional findings."
As her murmuring voice fell, her figure had already disappeared from the rooftop.
Time flowed, and three days quickly passed.
In the quiet room.
A white halo emerged from Lin Sheng, illuminating the dim quiet room. An inexplicable heavy aura emanated from his body. The figure shrouded in white light looked less like a person and more like a stone mountain.
Half an hour later, the white halo quickly submerged into his body. Lin Sheng opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.
"The sixth layer of Bai Xiang Zhen Yue Gong (White Elephant Mountain-Suppressing Skill) is complete. It's a bit faster than expected, and now it's catching up to the progress of Chasing Star Finger."
He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, a smile appearing on his face.
He stood up, and a series of muscle and bone crackles immediately came from his body.
He put the Ling Shu Yu Po Xiang Yan in his hand into his embrace.
An impromptu attempt led him to discover that cultivating Bai Xiang Zhen Yue Gong (White Elephant Mountain-Suppressing Skill) while holding the Yu Po Xiang Yan had a good amplifying effect.
That's why he broke through to the sixth layer ahead of time.
"It's just a pity that the activation progress of the fourth mark has inevitably stalled."
Because the manor had been relocated and the Haihe Gang's Red Flower House was no longer there, it was no longer realistic to purchase Spirit Beasts.
"Should I go to the Congyun Mountains again?"
This thought popped into his mind, but he quickly dismissed it.
"There's no news from Sun Hai's side, so it's likely he hasn't found the exact location of high-level Spirit Beasts. Even if I go now, it will take time to search. It's better to wait and go later. It won't be a waste of time after news arrives from there."
With this thought in mind, he focused his thoughts and prepared to begin cultivating Qingniao Chasing Star Finger.
He had already cultivated this martial art to the seventh layer. To completely finish cultivating it, he only needed the 8th and 9th layers, and finally, complete mastery – these three steps.
However, after entering Bones Transformation, he could clearly feel his cultivation speed slowing down, far incomparable to before Bones Transformation.
This was naturally because the difficulty of cultivating in the Bone Transformation Realm far surpassed Blood Transportation.
Compared to the Blood Transportation Realm, cultivating in the Bone Transformation Realm is more like grinding away with water, requiring a lot of time to condense Bone Strength.
At the same time, using his own Bone Strength to nourish and strengthen his entire body, allowing his physical quality to improve significantly.
The seven layers of Bones Transformation are divided according to the degree of strengthening. This is the so-called Bones Transformation Seven Layers.
And he was currently just entering Bones Transformation.
Depending on the cultivation method, the various types of strength condensed will have greatly different effects in nourishing and strengthening the body.
The main direction of strengthening for Qingniao Chasing Star Finger is the hands and legs.
Although there is a considerable increase for the entire body, the greatest degree of strengthening is undoubtedly on the hands and feet, corresponding to the speed and burst characteristics of Chasing Star Finger.
Compared to other Bones Transformation Martial Artists, he no longer needed mental condensation. The only steps missing were condensing strength and strengthening the body.
Therefore, when truly calculated, his cultivation speed in the Bone Transformation Realm was not slow at all. It even surpassed over 99% of Martial Artists.
It's just that this cultivation speed was naturally somewhat unsatisfactory for him.
"After the fourth mark is activated, it's time to look for compatible high-level Spirit Beasts again."
In fact, the highest grade exotic beast currently integrated into his body was undoubtedly the Scarlet Eye Flame Dragon.
It was considered a top-tier among demonic beasts, and undoubtedly had an amplifying effect on his cultivation far exceeding that of high-level Spirit Beasts in terms of cultivation methods. It's just that he didn't have a Peerless True Art related to dragon forms.
Let alone a Peerless True Art, he didn't even have a single ordinary true art related to dragon forms.
Compared to other exotic beasts, the number of dragon-type exotic beasts is quite scarce, and even the number of those with dragon-type exotic beast Bloodlines is very small.
Therefore, cultivation methods of this type are also quite rare.
He did know of a dragon-type Peerless True Art, which was the Dragon Demon Lord's Earth Fiend Dragon Demon Skill.
The grade of this cultivation method among Peerless True Arts should not be low, at least much stronger than the Peerless True Art of the Seven Forms Sect.
Unfortunately, he could only think about it. This Peerless True Art is definitely a top priority for the Northern Yan Imperial Court. It's basically impossible for him to Cultivate this Peerless True Art unless he chooses to join the Dragon Demon Army. However, with his many secrets, joining the Dragon Demon Army would be tantamount to seeking death.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he rummaged under the windowsill on one side and pulled out two items.
A dark green hard paper, and a crystalline jade stone.
Both items were covered in densely packed words. The font was very small, like ants, and the strokes were quite complex. An ordinary person might not be able to recognize what was written on them even after looking for ten days to half a month.
These two items were the Yin Harmonization Skill and Yang Extremity Art he obtained when he killed the Jade Faced Man Kong Qi in Zhoushan County back then.
They were also rare true arts that could break through to the Bone Transformation Realm without needing Bloodline potential.
According to the old man and the young one back then, they should have originated from a force called Qian Kun Palace, but that force had long been extinct for many years.
Speaking of these two cultivation methods, he was quite impressed at the time.
But since obtaining them, he hadn't started cultivating them. After all, with the mountain and sea scroll, he had unique advantages in cultivating Bloodline true arts.
According to the old man, these two cultivation methods combined form a complete true art called Yin Yang Harmonization Flow.
He picked up the jade stone, which recorded the Yang Extremity Art.
Yang Polarity, domineering, scorching, naturally belongs to the fire element category.
"Although the Scarlet Eye Flame Dragon is a dragon-type exotic beast, it also excels in fire and lives year-round in underground lava. Perhaps it can provide significant assistance to this Yang Extremity Art."
Lin Sheng stroked his chin and murmured softly.
The Seven Forms Sect's martial arts are missing two of them. Although this doesn't hinder entering the Divine Transformation Realm, he naturally wants to pursue perfection.
If it can indeed provide a good amplifying effect on the Yang Extremity Art, then perhaps this Yin Yang Harmonization Flow can also be fused together?
Of course, this was just a sudden thought that popped into his mind.
After completely memorizing the content on the jade pendant, Lin Sheng picked up the other hard paper and also completely memorized the Yin Harmonization Skill on it.
"I can try cultivating them in the future."
Activating the strength in his hand, he directly shattered these two items into fine powder.
At the same time, his gaze turned towards the courtyard. He stood up, put on his outer robe, opened the door, and stepped out.
A faint smell of blood rushed into his nostrils. On the stone table in the courtyard were two human heads.
The heads had their eyes open, and their faces still wore smiles, as if they were quite happy when they died. Of course, it was also possible that their heads had fallen before they could react.
After glancing at the two heads, his gaze fell on the petite figure in the courtyard who was stroking Big Yellow.
"Lan Jie."
"Haven't seen you in a few days, your aura seems to have gotten a little stronger."
Lan Man turned her head, a smile appearing on her face, and stood up to sit beside the stone table.
Big Yellow suddenly stood up with a whoosh and darted out of the courtyard like flying. As for Little Black, it was already gone.
"These two are Silver Badge Constables from the Prefecture Yamen. Their strength is not weak, and they are especially good at tracking. They had already vaguely guessed quite a few things, especially finding some traces of that place called Red Flower House or something. So I just killed them for you."
Lan Man pointed at the two heads and said with a smile.
If you disregarded the two bloody heads, the smile on her face was still quite cute and lively.
Hearing the other party's words, Lin Sheng was startled. He didn't doubt the truthfulness of her words, but he didn't expect the people from the Prefecture Yamen to have actually found traces of the Red Flower House.
This was also due to his carelessness. The Red Flower House had quite a few people. Even if Mei Sanniang only brought some trusted elites, the number was still considerable.
He had only controlled Mei Sanniang using the Seed Devil Secret Art, but not the others in the Red Flower House.
Even if these people were controlled, they still had to eat, drink, and excrete. Contact with others couldn't completely rule out the possibility of exposure.
Although the people from the Red Flower House were not together with the people from the Seven Forms Sect.
But if they were captured, it would also be quite troublesome.
After all, Mei Sanniang was very clear about the matter at the manor.
Thinking of this, he immediately bowed in salute and sincerely thanked her.
"Thank you, Lan Jie."
"You're welcome. I haven't seen any sign of that old fellow He Lanjiang these past few days, so he probably won't be coming. I'll stay for two more days. If there's nothing else, I'll leave. You should be careful then, and it's best to leave this place."
Lan Man waved her hand and spoke with a smile.
While speaking, she had already picked up the two heads, and her figure instantly disappeared.
