“The Karma here is settled. Zhang Liang is dead, and the only one who knows about it is Wang Yun.”
“Let’s see what my fate is first.”
Name: Ye Lin
Cultivation: Qi Training Seventh Layer
Fate: Black (Many disasters)
Destiny: 【Bad Luck】 【Divine Comprehension】
Fate: Zhang Xiao is dead. The only one who knows, Wang Yun, realizing he is not your opponent, swallows the matter and never mentions a single word, fearing he will be killed by you. Three months later, during a Secret Realm treasure hunt, he observes others' Opportunities and discovers the location of the Profound Rank High-Grade Spirit Medicine, Duobao. He then enters the Secret Realm to search for it. After finding it, he is discovered by Inner Sect Disciple Lin Ziyou, who forces him to hand over the Duobao. You refuse to comply, fighting him fiercely, but ultimately you are no match and are killed by Lin Ziyou.
Recent Opportunity: None
【Bad Luck】: Poor luck, for example, you will definitely fall when walking, and you will definitely be cheated on when married.
【Divine Comprehension】: Extraordinary Comprehension Ability, extremely fast at comprehending various Cultivation Techniques. The same Cultivation Technique that takes others three months, only takes you a few days.
“Since you are so sensible, I will spare your life. Anyway, in three months, you still won’t escape death.”
Ye Lin muttered to himself. Wang Yun would die three months later, his essence and blood sucked dry by an evil demon.
At that time, he wouldn't need to act at all.
“Duobao? Lin Ziyou?”
Looking at the panel, Ye Lin muttered to himself. Duobao is a type of Spirit Medicine similar to ganoderma, and it is the main ingredient for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, making it incredibly valuable.
“It seems I need to pay close attention to this Lin Ziyou. The fact that I can fight him means he must be at the Qi Training Ninth Layer, not the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
Ye Lin thought to himself. If Lin Ziyou were at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.
“It seems that in these three months, I must Break Through my cultivation to the Qi Training Eighth Layer, and I also need to seize a few more Opportunities. If I can have a Talisman as a trump card, that would be even better.”
After arriving at his residence, Ye Lin began to cultivate in seclusion, fully focusing on breaking through to the Qi Training Eighth Layer.
Swallowing the Yao Beast core, with the experience from last time, suppressing the Yao Beast core was clearly much easier this time.
A full half month passed, and Ye Lin had completely refined the Yao Beast core.
“Phew, Qi Training Seventh Layer, not far from Qi Training Eighth Layer. Once I seize Wang Yun’s Opportunity, I will go into seclusion for two months and Break Through to Qi Training Eighth Layer in one go.”
“At that time, challenging an Inner Sect Disciple will be just right, perfectly timed for the opening of the Inner Sect Secret Realm.”
Ye Lin estimated that this time, there would definitely be others in the Outer Sect with the same idea as him. The Qingyun Sect had no record of Outer Sect Disciples challenging Inner Sect Disciples within ten years.
This was because the benefits weren't great enough, but this time, with the Inner Sect Secret Realm opening, such benefits were enough to drive people mad.
And that group of people from the Outer Sect who had been in seclusion would definitely begin challenging Inner Sect Disciples one after another.
Zhang Xiao was just the beginning.
“It’s time to seize Wang Yun’s Opportunity.”
Putting away the Mid-Grade Spirit Stone in his hand, Ye Lin quickly left and headed towards the depths of the mountain.
Before leaving, Ye Lin specifically went to the Scripture Pavilion to check the specific methods and steps for refining Spirit Fire.
The Qingyun Sect is located on the outskirts of the One Hundred Thousand Mountains, its purpose being to suppress the Yao Beasts within the one hundred thousand li from invading Human Race territory.
Within the One Hundred Thousand Mountains, Yao Beasts are everywhere, and various treasures emerge endlessly, so this is also a place where countless Loose Cultivators frequently operate.
The Loose Cultivators who come here are all brave and resourceful; those who are brave but not resourceful have all died.
Sheshan is in the middle of the One Hundred Thousand Mountains, and this place is undoubtedly perilous; it is rumored that a Yao King is in charge.
A Yao King is a Golden Core Stage Yao Beast, and once it acts, it can destroy the world.
“Phew, I need to be careful. Once discovered by a Yao King, death is certain.”
Ye Lin leaped through the bushes, moving at extreme speed, not attracting the attention of any Yao Beasts along the way.
The surrounding Yao Beasts were all Qi Training Stage Yao Beasts, simply unable to capture Ye Lin’s traces.
“Here.”
Ye Lin, who was moving at high speed, suddenly stopped. He saw a vertical crack at the bottom of the mountain in front of him. Approaching the crack, a scorching Qi rushed towards him.
“Presumably, the Spirit Fire is inside.”
Ye Lin’s eyes burned with eagerness. He stepped forward and squeezed with difficulty into the crack, slowly walking deeper inside.
Once he achieved Spirit Fire Fusion, even the previous Zhang Xiao would not be his opponent.
Walking into the crack, a deep cave appeared before him. The further he walked, the higher the temperature. Halfway through, Ye Lin was already parched.
Gritting his teeth, he walked to the deepest part, and the scene before him suddenly opened up. In a huge, empty space, a cluster of green flames floated, looking extremely beautiful.
However, beneath this beautiful exterior was a high temperature of up to ten thousand degrees. Of course, this was only the temperature of the Spirit Fire’s core; the outer surface of the Spirit Fire had an extremely low temperature, otherwise the entire mountain would have long since disappeared.
“Phew, what a strong temperature.”
Ye Lin held a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, and a layer of green barrier floated on his body surface. This was the manifestation of Spiritual Qi externalization. With the Spirit Stone’s supply, he could stand here steadily.
“To refine Spirit Fire, I need to swallow it in one gulp. Are you sure this thing won’t instantly vaporize me?”
Looking at the Spirit Fire in the distance, Ye Lin was already doubting life. The books in the Scripture Pavilion clearly stated that after swallowing it, one should circulate the Cultivation Technique to forcibly suppress the Spirit Fire and make it their own.
“Never mind, not taking an Opportunity when it’s there, that’s insane.”
The next moment, Ye Lin grabbed the Spirit Fire and put it directly into his mouth. He immediately sat on the ground, fully absorbing the Spiritual Qi in his hand and began circulating his Cultivation Technique.
The next moment, Ye Lin’s face changed. Pain, it was too painful. His internal organs felt as if they were melting, and a piercing pain directly rushed into his mind.
The spiritual power that was originally intended to suppress the Spirit Fire was directly absorbed by the Spirit Fire, rendering it completely useless.
If one were to look from a distance, Ye Lin’s abdomen was completely red, as if it was about to explode at any moment.
“No, I can’t hold on.”
The immense pain caused Ye Lin’s consciousness to gradually fade. The next moment, Ye Lin collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Three days later, Ye Lin slowly woke up.
“So… such strong power.”
Ye Lin clenched his fist and found that his strength had doubled, and his whole body felt an indescribable sense of comfort.
Not only had his strength increased, but a cluster of green flames quietly floated in his Dantian.
“This is, Spirit Fire? The Spirit Fire has merged with me? Does that mean I can now borrow the power of the Spirit Fire?”
Ye Lin’s face lit up with joy. He then stood up and circulated the Seven Kill Fist. Immediately, a cluster of green flames appeared on his right arm, rotating along his arm.
He punched the nearby wall, and in an instant, the originally solid wall, under Ye Lin’s punch, suddenly had a large hole.
The entire mountain trembled slightly.
Inside the blasted hole, streaks of green flames were scorching the rock wall. The temperature was so high that it was burning the rock like firewood.
Ye Lin reached out his hand. The originally extremely hot flames, upon touching Ye Lin’s finger, playfully acted like a child, floating along Ye Lin’s finger, and Ye Lin could not feel any temperature at all; instead, he had an indescribable feeling.
The next moment, the green flames seemed to have played enough and entered Ye Lin’s skin, disappearing.
