As he spoke, he added, "When the sun and moon rise together and the golden bridge descends, the old citizens will ascend to the heavens to worship Lord Qingling. By then, you’ll be able to see the ultimate town object, and I will certainly help you achieve great success with one effort!"

Watching the Tribulation Ash Great Elder walk away.

Lin Yan looked down at the bronze token and his gaze sharpened slightly.

This token was a symbol of Chen Long, the reason why the other party had noticed him.

But did the Tribulation Ash Great Elder determine he was one of the Tribulation Ash based on some "Qi Mechanism" within his own body?

Divine Blessing?

Could it be the divine light from the ear of rice when he left Feng City?

"I originally thought the Tribulation Ash was a power formed by all those who wished to destroy cities!"

Lin Yan, recalling the conversation he had with the old garrison commander, fell into thought and muttered to himself, "The inner workings of the Tribulation Ash seem to be different from what I imagined?"

——

It was a long time later.

Lin Yan spent some time cultivating at the residence of the County Magistrate.

He suddenly discovered that when the Three Origin Qi Absorption Five Elements Refining Treasure Record reached the level of Perfection,

Each session of cultivation could refine essence into Qi and increase nine streams of True Qi!

This was Original True Qi!

You should know, in the normal Qi Refining Realm, upon first entering this realm, each essence refining into Qi was extremely difficult.

Many people in the Qi Refining Realm planned to gather nine streams of True Qi to guard their ancestral orifices at the center of their brows to prevent future loss of control, but even after years of effort, success might not be achieved.

Yet Lin Yan could reach this stage in one night... of course, that he could smoothly complete his cultivation was mostly dependent on the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade in his hand.

"The remaining Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade has been used up," he said.

Lin Yan exhaled and thought to himself, "Without treasures like the Phoenix Blood Ancient Jade, even if the cultivation technique reaches Perfection, I won’t be able to refine essence into Qi anymore."

It was as if the physical essence and blood had already been condensed into True Qi.

New essence and blood had yet to be born!

A clever woman cannot cook without rice!

No matter how high the tier of cultivation technique, without essence blood, one cannot produce True Qi.

Unless one absorbs the Qi from the outside world!

But aside from the Qi from the Purifying World Bridge within the ancient relics, any Qi Mechanism in the outside world carries an "odd" breath!

To absorb the strange Qi of the outside world, what is cultivated will only be alien True Qi.

"Although my path forward is already stable enough, I’m afraid there aren’t many among the Human Clan in this era who can be as firm as I!"

Thinking this way, Lin Yan muttered, "Even if I consume the alien Qi from the outside world to cultivate alien True Qi in the future, there probably won’t be any risk of losing control!"

He exhaled, then turned his gaze to the corner of the room.

The Little White Ape squatted on the side, with a gleam in its eyes, keeping watch of the surroundings.

Seeing its master awaken, it scampered over excitedly and said, "Master, you’ve been in closed-door cultivation for about three hours, and quite a few folks have arrived."

"Oh?"

Lin Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, asking, "Has there been any trouble?"

"They all seem quite restrained."

The Little White Ape whispered, "Only four from High Willow City came, but there are many from the Tribulation Ash, along with numerous powerful demons and evil spirits, and some things I couldn’t see through..."

"Understood."

Lin Yan opened his hand.

However, the Little White Ape showed a look of joy.

It quickly patted down its fur and folded its wings, as if to prepare for a very solemn ritual.

It dived in headfirst, overjoyed, burrowing into the palm of the hand.

"Tree bro, I’m coming..."

The voice of the Little White Ape faintly reached Lin Yan’s ears: "Hanging me upside down this time, earlier you whipped the front, now you can whip the back..."

"Ow, that hurts... don’t hit the top, hit the bottom instead; if my face gets ruined, the master will definitely laugh at me."

"Don’t look at him being all serious day-to-day, he’s actually got plenty of tricks up his sleeve, and then dumps all these emotions on me, really ruining my pure reputation."

"It wouldn’t be good for outsiders to see, carrying the bloodline of two ancient races, it would dishonor the reputation of our ancestors. Ow... you can spank my butt, but please don’t hit my face..."

"Eh, why is my head sticking out? Master, why are you looking at me?"

The Little White Ape looked around in bewilderment, then saw a fist coming straight for its face.

After several solid blows, Lin Yan stuffed the Little White Ape back in and huffed coldly as he walked to the door and pushed it open.

Many gazes converged upon the scene.

The ancient "Old Villagers," the enemies of Tribulation Ash, powerful demons, fierce evil spirits, the strong ones from all parts of Qifeng Prefecture, as well as figures from High Willow City.

Within these three hours, the number of people who had come here had exceeded sixty, and together with the original villagers, the total had reached over a hundred.

"There really are quite a few people..."

Lin Yan’s eyebrows rose as he noticed that among the new sixty-odd people, some looked at him with peculiar Mou Guang, the same as the ancient Old Villagers.

It seemed that many of them had been completely assimilated and had truly become Old Villagers.

His gaze swept over and saw that the "one-armed man" had a completely different face.

The one-armed man who had guided him and Lv Tang just now should be a member of the Liu Family from High Willow City, who joined Tribulation Ash to seek opportunities here, lost their self, and became an Old Villager.

Obviously, during the recent ceremony for the competition for the "Human Lord body," he was replaced by the newly arrived "one-armed man."

"That person is..."

Lin Yan’s gaze became focused, falling on the elder.

That elder stood motionless on the edge of the new village.

But Lin Yan recognized his face.

It was the garrison commander from Jinliu Manor, the one who had killed the little Divine Blessing and seized the Original Tree Heart!

This time, the emergence of the ancient relic was also leveraged through the identity and status of this "Elder Ji," taken advantage of by Ji Baochang, the Zhao Ye person, to push forward the destruction of the Nine Pure Lands!

"That’s a tree." Lv Tang approached and said in a low voice, "This old creature somehow disguised as a tree, and all the villagers shun him... After all, it’s just a tree, no real relationships. It is said that when the town underwent turmoil back then, this tree turned into a demon and swept away a lot of children, using them as nourishment."

"It seems that these Old Villagers still have a sense of loyalty, otherwise they would have cut down the tree already."

Lin Yan thought to himself, and as his gaze swept around, he suddenly looked towards another person.

The person looked like a young man, with a handsome and clean appearance, expressionless.

He was from Qifeng Prefecture City, said to be the son of an old incense burner at Wutong Temple.

Being a late child, the young man was highly valued and had reached the peak of his inner strength at a young age, far surpassing Shi Xu in talent!

His coming here was a proactive quest for opportunities in the Refining Essence Realm!

The youthful and prideful young man, holding himself in high regard, viewing all beneath him, considering himself the proud child of the era, had not expected to fall here.

"That’s a person from Prefecture City, like those of us from High Willow City, we’re practically kin," whispered Lv Tang.

"The man is already dead," Lin Yan’s voice was very low, transferring his words through True Qi, "The main body is the sword in his hands!"

"A sword?" Lv Tang was surprised for a moment, then looked at the sword.

"In Qifeng Prefecture, more than two hundred li north of High Willow City, there is a massive evil spirit, positioned among ’strange objects,’ known as Sword Lord."

Lin Yan thought to himself, "The legends say that when the metallic essence in the world is dense and entangled with strange nightly auras, evil spirits are born! Later, for some reason, he preferred to attach himself to the worldly treasured swords... hence the name Sword Lord!"

According to the Observatory’s information, the tier of this Sword Lord was slightly lower than that of the "life-buying silver" from the past.

Yet the Sword Lord was extremely sharp and unreserved, one of the top five "fierce" evil spirits in Qifeng Prefecture!

Many evil spirits of higher tier than him were not as threatening as he was.

It was like Lin Yan, who had recently achieved the Qi Refining Realm, his cultivation not as high as Deputy Commander Zhou Yuan, but in a fight...probably stronger than Deputy Commander Zhou!

"There are quite a few major demons that have come, Goat Lord, Black Tiger King, Mountain Sprites, Green Wolf Lord..."

"Amongst the evil spirits, there are the Sword Lord, Rain Transforming Lord, Myriad Corpse Ghost, Lord Swamp Spirit, and so on..."

"These mighty demons and evil spirits have been a significant concern for the Human Clan in Qifeng Prefecture for many years!"

"Among those new arrivals, it’s hard to tell how many are from Tribulation Ash and how many are from different cities of Qifeng Prefecture, with spies among each other, probably impossible to determine."

With this realization in his mind, Lin Yan was pondering when he heard the old man shout loudly.

"The great day is about to rise, the Golden Bridge is coming, please, County Magistrate, lead the ceremony!"

The old man bowed down, and immediately prostrated himself.

The numerous Old Villagers, one after another, kneeled to the ground.

And some of the figures from the outside world also knelt down following this.

But many others’ expressions changed dramatically.

Lin Yan frowned slightly, suddenly sensing a strange feeling in his palm.

Could it be possible to generate the incense Qi without using the three sticks of incense?

But it seemed the effect would be much reduced?

As he thought this, he heard the old man’s angry voice, "What are you all doing? County Magistrate has finally returned, won’t you pay your respects? Don’t think that just because a thousand years have passed, you have lost your status, forgotten your manners, and broken the rules!"

The next moment, he saw the hundred or so people present, including all kinds of demons and evil spirits, after a moment of hesitation, all knelt down.

"We welcome the County Magistrate!"
