Chapter 197 - 144: The New Melting Method! Incense Divine Spirit! [First Update!]

Chapter 197: Chapter 144: The New Melting Method! Incense Divine Spirit! [First Update!]

Night had fallen.

In a small Pure Land.

A campfire rose, crackling with sound.

This place was relatively secluded, so few people came here.

Instead, the Pure Land was home to many birds and beasts that hadn’t managed to return to their nests.

There were also two horses added to the scene, tied up at the side.

A man and an ape sat by the fire.

Lin Yan had harnessed the Evil Qi he had acquired the previous night and had brought both the Possession Skill and the Mechanical Puppet Technique to Perfection.

As he expected, after achieving the Qi Refining Realm, he had the ability to combine these perfected techniques into one.

The techniques of Creating Paper Horses, Possession, and Mechanical Puppet Technique melded into a new Magic Method.

Creation!

"It’s time to bring the third level of the Thunder Blade to Perfection," he murmured.

Lin Yan slightly closed his eyes, and soon pushed the expertise of the third level of the Thunder Blade to its limit.

As expected, the Blood Refining Divine Blade and Thunder Blade complemented each other, forming a new Sword Skill.

Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade!

"Before the nine streams of true energy in the Qi Refining Realm, I’ve decided to use my own foundation to refine essence and convert it into energy!"

"With the most pure True Qi guarding the ancestral orifice and stabilizing my nature, I should be able to solve the so-called hidden dangers of the Qi Refining Realm in the eyes of the world!"

"Once the nine streams of true energy are condensed, my understanding of the cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm will be rudimentarily formed, and I can compile it into the first volume to be left for future generations."

Lin Yan thought to himself, "Now, it’s time to advance the Three Origin Qi Absorption Five Elements Refining Treasure Record!"

He increased his Golden Body Divine Power to a hundred breaths and then channeled the remaining Evil Qi into his Cultivation Technique.

——

Name: Lin Yan.

Cultivation Technique: Three Origin Qi Absorption Five Elements Refining Treasure Record (212/1000)+

Cultivation: Qi Refining Realm (2/6480)+

Divine Power 1: Devouring Evil!

Divine Power 2: Demon Suppression!

Divine Power 3: Golden Body! (100/1000)+

Techniques as follows:

Blood Slaughter Thunder Blade (1/100)+

Creation (1/365)+

Transformation (13/100)+

Evil Qi: 0

Lin Yan opened his eyes, thinking to himself, "After achieving the Qi Refinement Realm with the Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill, a new Golden Body Divine Power was added!"

"This Three Origin Qi Absorption Five Elements Refining Treasure Record requires ten times the Evil Qi to reach Perfection compared to the Vajra Strong Soul Divine Skill!"

"In the future, could it form a Divine Power more potent than ’Golden Body’?"

There was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He then commenced his cultivation for tonight.

The Little White Ape acted as a protector nearby.

It looked around the Pure Land with a curious expression in its eyes.

As a demon, it naturally feared Pure Lands, and from instinct, it felt afraid and dared not enter.

But having entered a Pure Land twice, it found that it seemed no different from any ordinary cave.

"Come to think of it, didn’t the master always stay in High Willow City and hardly ever leave?"

The Little White Ape vaguely remembered that the night it fell to its death next to its master was said to be the first time the master had ever stayed in a Pure Land outside the city.

Latter on, the master had also mentioned the state of destruction of that resting Pure Land through Mr. Lu.

So, last night by the Dayin River, it was the master’s second stay in a Pure Land.

Then that Pure Land was also ruined.

Today is the third time the master has stayed in a Pure Land.

Based on past experience, the master could be dubbed a destroyer of Pure Lands!

"A veritable disaster!"

The Little White Ape murmured, "If he doesn’t stay in High Willow City and wanders outside, wouldn’t that mean one Pure Land is destroyed every night? If he continues like this, the people of the Human Clan outside the city won’t be able to survive!"

It looked out into the darkness and couldn’t help but feel anxious, thinking, "The master won’t destroy this Pure Land tonight as well, will he?"

Having encountered the attack from the figure in red the night before, it was still scared.

It had developed a sense of fear towards the dark.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Yan opened his eyes and snorted.

The Little White Ape quickly ran over, laughing sheepishly, "I didn’t say much, just that the master is magnificent and his cultivation must have made great progress."

Lin Yan glanced at it and said nothing, only closing his eyes, thinking, "After improving the mastery of the Three Origin Qi Absorption Five Elements Refining Treasure Record, its effect is indeed significant."

After this session of cultivation, he completed his third round of essence refining into energy.

The third strand of True Qi had already taken residence in the ancestral orifice on his forehead.

At this rate, in the next six days, he would be able to complete nine rounds of essence refining into energy, filling the ancestral orifice and stabilizing himself.

By then, he could freely use Evil Qi to increase his True Qi quantity.

"However, each round of essence refining into energy is based on oneself and requires a sufficient foundation," Lin Yan thought to himself. "With two or three more pieces of Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade, there should be no problem!"

Thinking this way, he wasn’t worried about the source of the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade.

He had made a great contribution by investigating the source of the changes in the Dayin River,

Upon his return, he intended to speak frankly with the Commander and exchange merits for Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade, which should be sufficient.

Despite the rarity of the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade, with such merits, it wouldn’t be difficult to exchange for the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade or similar treasures.

"Tonight’s Dayin River will surely be bustling," Lin Yan murmured softly.

"Aren’t you worried, Master?"

The Little White Ape couldn’t help but ask.

"Worrying is useless," Lin Yan said slowly, "Originally, many powerful evil demons entered within a hundred miles of High Willow City, and the city’s upper echelons, without any hesitation, presented them with incense as a gift and asked them to leave. Do you know what that signifies?"

After thinking for a moment, the Little White Ape said, "Recognition of one’s position?"

Lin Yan nodded with a smile, replying, "That’s roughly the meaning. Thus, if the situation at the Dayin River truly spirals out of control, then the city’s upper echelons will definitely choose to compromise, even if it means reluctantly sacrificing a large portion of the outer city!"

"If they choose to compromise, the ’Dayin River Dragon Pillar’ would not be transported out of the city!"

"Since the Dayin River Dragon Pillar was transported out of the city, it proves that the changes in the Dayin River haven’t induced fear in them."

"Furthermore, today, I also informed the Commander about the Netherworld Stone Gate at the bottom of the river."

"However, after becoming aware of last night’s changes, the city’s upper echelons still chose to continue making arrangements at the Dayin River."

"It means they are confident that they can completely suppress the matter of the Dayin River."

"There’s nothing to worry about then," he said.

Hence, Lin Yan slowly continued, "Besides, with the presence of figures such as Mr. Lu in the city, they must have made preparations long ago."

Upon hearing this, the Little White Ape nodded immediately and responded, "That’s true. Instead of worrying about the Dayin River, it’s better to worry about your own marriage, Master. They’re going to demand you return your engagement."

With a smack!

Lin Yan, expressionless, slapped it over.

Subsequently, Lin Yan began rubbing his forehead, feeling a tremendous headache.

He had only seen the red-dressed female ghost once.

It was the night he had acquired the Nirvana Divine Egg.

In that case, could the so-called "engagement" have something to do with the Nirvana Divine Egg?

He vaguely recalled that night, the red-dressed female ghost appeared shy and timid, and at the time, Lin Yan thought he was so seriously injured and near death that he was hallucinating.

Now, upon careful reflection, something indeed seemed off.

"Did she tell you that I had killed my ex-fiancée?"

"Yes, she said she witnessed it with her own eyes, and you even wanted to kill her," the Little White Ape hastily nodded, its eyes gleaming, and said, "Master, are you on the path of using the killing of your wife to prove your dao?"

"..."

Lin Yan rubbed his forehead again and said in a low voice, "That woman was nothing but a human skin. By all logic, it should have been a means of Tribulation Ash... Now it seems, it might not have been Tribulation Ash’s doing?"

The ghost that had tricked his second brother into leaving the city was Chen Jiangbao, but the skin of the young girl was something else entirely.

Now it appears that when Lin Yan severed the skin of that young girl, the red-dressed female ghost was already there.

Was it that he simply had not been able to detect her presence?

Only after touching the Nirvana Divine Egg did she truly appear?

"Nirvana Divine Egg..."

Lin Yan raised his hand and looked at his palm.

Last night, the Nirvana Divine Egg also consumed that piece of the "Netherworld Token."

After the Netherworld Stone Gate, that decaying mysterious existence became extremely furious.

In its speech, the token seemed to symbolize the duty of commanding Yin Souls.

In other words, this token is equivalent to the identity of "Yin Soldiers," akin to the flag of the Observatory!

But the Nirvana Divine Egg cannot be separated from his hand.

He then looked towards the Little White Ape and reached out his hand.

"Are you going into your right hand again?"

The Little White Ape, full of disdain, muttered in its heart, "Who knows if he has the habit of washing his hands after urinating?"

It burrowed into his hand.

A moment later, it suddenly burrowed out again, full of astonishment.

"Did you see the token?" Lin Yan asked in a deep voice.

"I didn’t see it," the Little White Ape shook its head and said.

"Then what do you mean by this?" Lin Yan frowned and asked.

"The tree grew bigger," the Little White Ape spread its hands wide, expressing surprise, "It suddenly grew so much..."

"It grew bigger?" Lin Yan’s expression became contemplative.

"I remember when we left the city, it was still the same as before, just a sapling." The Little White Ape spoke in astonishment, "Master, could it be that you didn’t wash your hands after urinating, which is equivalent to fertilizing it?"

With a smack!

Lin Yan slapped it over, then spread his hand open and said, "Bring it out, let me have a look."

The Little White Ape covered its head, looked at his palm, and with the determination of diving into a urine basin, plunged in.

Subsequently, a small white monkey materialized in Lin Yan’s palm.

Then it pulled out a willow tree from within the flesh and blood and "uprooted" it forcefully!

The Little White Ape pulled farther away until it was a zhang away from Lin Yan.

Only then did the willow tree unfurl, growing to be a zhang tall.

"It grew this big overnight?"

Lin Yan furrowed his brow as he looked at the willow tree before him.

This willow tree originated from the Guardian God of Jinliu Manor—Little Venerate.

And Little Venerate was separated from the main body of Liu Venerate.

For someone born in High Willow City, this was akin to a juvenile divine spirit!

"Ever since you hatched it, Master, it hadn’t grown for many days," the Little White Ape circled the willow tree, clucking its tongue, "All of a sudden, why has it grown?"

"Was it nurtured by the token obtained at the Netherworld Stone Gate?"

Lin Yan approached for a closer inspection but couldn’t detect anything out of the ordinary.

After a moment, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly froze.

In his mind, he visualized that kneeling elder.

"Humans walking the night roads, offending the divine carriage, I now offer three sticks of incense, please Venerate God to accept and forgive the sins!"
