Chapter 317: Chapter 85 Contact

Lin Yuan’s courtyard.

Everything happening in the Martial Academy seemed completely unrelated to Lin Yuan.

He has now fully immersed himself in cultivation.

With the arrival of the incense holder drawing ever closer, Lin Yuan was becoming increasingly eager to enhance his cultivation.

The feeling of being powerless and unable to control the situation yesterday was truly unbearable for him.

To take initiative, to avoid being restrained, requires more formidable strength.

After finishing his cultivation, just before dusk, a servant came to inform him that the Long-Brow Taoist was coming to see him.

Lin Yuan’s eyes showed a hint of doubt.

Why would Master come at this time? Did something unexpected happen?

With some speculation in mind, he immediately stepped out to greet.

Soon, he saw the Long-Brow Taoist followed by senior disciple Xu Ling, along with others, and beside him was a very voluptuous matron exuding a captivating charm that was almost intoxicating.

"Who is this woman? Such a strong presence."

Although the woman seemed delicate, her aura was not far weaker than Master’s, making Lin Yuan inwardly vigilant.

As they approached, Lin Yuan also gathered his thoughts and greeted respectfully, "Master."

"Disciple, come, come, this is Uncle-Master Ru Yan, and this is your Senior Sister, Xi Yuanrong," Long-Brow Taoist introduced with a smile.

At this moment, Lin Yuan looked up and met the gaze of Ru Yan.

Ru Yan felt the aura from Lin Yuan and was suddenly shocked: "What a strong presence."

"In just two months, Lin Yuan has reached such a level."

She was stunned by Lin Yuan’s cultivation at that moment.

"Has it reached fifty acupoints?"

Two months ago, Lin Yuan’s cultivation, which she had seen with her own eyes, was only in the tens, but in two months, it nearly reached fifty.

Nearly one acupoint every two days; even she had never heard of such speed.

At this moment, the impact from Lin Yuan made her heart tremble fiercely, almost losing control.

Fortunately, she had a solid foundation and no one noticed anything unusual.

But Lin Yuan sharply detected the fleeting ripple of aura in this Ru Yan.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan felt puzzled but still greeted respectfully, "Greetings Uncle-Master Ru Yan, greetings Junior Sister Yuanrong."

While speaking, Lin Yuan set his gaze on the woman who appeared weak.

Aside from the slightly bright eyes, everything else seemed ordinary.

Meanwhile, the sallow-complexioned Xi Yuanrong, upon seeing Lin Yuan’s face, was equally deeply shaken inside: "Is it him?"

"Cough, cough." Xi Yuanrong coughed twice, quietly responding, "Greetings Senior Brother Lin."

After greeting each other, the Long-Brow Taoist instructed, "Disciple, Uncle-Master Ru Yan is a distinguished guest from Hongnan City and resides on the same peak with me in the Fire Crow Sect."

"Her residence is adjacent to yours. Lu Angzhou’s death is mysterious, and in a realm above spiritual essence, one must be cautious. With your uncle-master stationed here, it solves my pressing concern. You may seek her guidance if needed."

"I will comply with Master’s arrangements."

Lin Yuan respectfully replied.

Lu Angzhou is dead. To counter those hidden in the shadows, the Martial Academy gathered the younger disciples to live together, with protection from a martial artist in the spiritual essence realm, to stabilize morale.

Killing Lu Angzhou barely postponed Ning Guisheng from taking action.

What he needs to do now is delay Ning Guisheng’s aggression; the later it happens, the stronger he will be.

Ultimately, killing Ning Guisheng will completely resolve this trouble.

This is why he immediately killed Lu Angzhou.

Though Uncle-Master’s arrival is mysterious, he need not worry. He now practices alchemy daily and accumulates vital energy, rendering Uncle-Master Ru Yan’s influence minimal.

After everyone left, Ru Yan chuckled softly, "Nephew Lin, your martial arts cultivation is truly surprising to Uncle-Master. Hehe."

The charming and alluring laughter echoes in Lin Yuan’s ears, constantly teasing his heartstrings.

"How can this Uncle-Master Ru Yan be so."

Lin Yuan’s gaze darkened, he thought to himself, "So improper?"

Clasping his fists, Lin Yuan calmly said, "Forgive me, Uncle-Master, I have a few moves yet to comprehend. I wish to go back and ponder."

"Hehe, go on."

Ru Yan waved her hand, laughed once, and watched Lin Yuan turn around.

"Such a serious person; even my teasing didn’t shake him at all."

Meanwhile, the sallow-complexioned Xi Yuanrong gazed at Lin Yuan’s back with some curiosity: "This person has rather ordinary talent, yet how did he attain the third realm in such a short time?"

Following Ru Yan, they arrived at the courtyard next to Lin Yuan’s.

In the quiet room.

"Yuanrong, after observing Lin Yuan earlier, what do you think?" Ru Yan asked while sitting at the desk, reviewing the intelligence gathered today.

"Cough, cough." Xi Yuanrong coughed gently, then said, "He has a good gift, if he’s of humble origins, he could be recruited. But looking at now, the Long-Brow treats him really well."

"I estimate his respect for Long-Brow Taoist is sincere."

Ru Yan nodded in agreement, "Two months ago, I saw this child’s extraordinary talent. You know, when I first saw him, his cultivation was only about ten acupoints strong."

Ru Yan took a deep breath, her chest swelled with pride, "This child’s talent exceeds my expectations manyfold."

"I plan to promote his potential rank to Wolf-level." Ru Yan said, looking at the sallow-complexioned Xi Yuanrong, teasingly, "How about it? You should work harder; if I give this spot to him, you’ll miss out."

"Cough, cough."

Xi Yuanrong coughed once, without reply.

After pondering for a moment, Xi Yuanrong said, "Lin Yuan’s talent, joining our Sacred Sect, could become a pillar. Killing him would be a real pity."

"In a couple of days, I will visit and see if I can persuade him to join the Sacred Sect."

"Oh?"

Ru Yan expressed curiosity.

The Xi Yuanrong before her came from the refugees of Hongnan City. Her spiritual strength was incredibly powerful, nearly breaking through to the acupoint realm before becoming an official martial artist.

At that time, Ru Yan was selecting new seeds for the Sacred Sect, seeing her remarkable talent and decided to keep her close.

But this woman succeeded and failed all because of the spiritual strength.

Excessive spiritual power leads her body to weakness, nearly incapable of containing the vast supply from the spirit.

It signifies her talent is extremely rare; once her body can sustain the spirit, her martial path may advance rapidly, even potentially exceeding the spiritual essence.

Apart from the spirit talent, this woman has a tranquil nature.

She shows little interest in worldly affairs and people besides cultivation.

Yet now she has suggested personally engaging Lin Yuan.

It greatly exceeded Ru Yan’s expectations.

"Alright. Interact more with this Nephew Lin and uncover his little secrets," Ru Yan smiled softly.
