第五卷 天云十二州 第一千一百三十三章 三十六天

, The spirit of the demon infant was weak and the amount of essence qi it had wasn't much. But the top-grade crystal stones were indeed different from ordinary ones. After some hesitation, Lin Xuan still put them away in his storage bag.

The array stopped, and the spiritual light and mist dispersed, revealing the face of the refined demon infant after its hundredfold refinement.

Compared to before, it had clearly grown stronger, though its body was still as black as ink. The crimson runes that used to cover it were no longer visible.

Opening his eyes, a faint glint of brilliance could be seen within them, and his realm had reached the peak of the initial stage.

Don't underestimate this; it's an unexpected joy, making Lin Xuan extremely happy.

The demon infant was a cleverly obtained item. Its original realm was between the元婴期 (Yīnyīngqí) and the top of the 凝丹期 (Níndānqí), a special existence in itself.

Not only had he eliminated its隐患, but Lin Xuan didn't need to hide anything. He recounted the details of what happened.

Balancing both good and evil cultivation techniques, this secret technique was no less powerful than the second元婴. The two women's mouths widened as they listened, almost thinking that Lin Xuan was exaggerating his abilities.

"Brother Lin, you practice the orthodox sect’s arts but also know how to control corpses, which is a dark art. This explains everything."

"Yes, the dual元婴 technique finally makes sense to me. When Master Sister was still at the中期 (Zhōngqī) of the元婴 stage during our time on Cloud Ridge Mountain, why could her powers catch up with those of major cultivators?"

The admiration on Wu Yun'er's face deepened as she finally understood a long-standing mystery.

Lin Xuan and the two women chatted for a while. Then, Wu Yun'er suddenly said softly, "Master Brother, there is something I want to say but am not sure if it’s appropriate."

"What is it?"

"Master recently has been suffering from poison attacks more frequently. If this continues, it won't be good. Do you think..."

"Don't worry; I have a lead on the antidote for Sister Qinxin's poison. I will fetch it for her. But now isn't the right time, so don't rush."

"Ah, that makes sense."

Wu Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief, while Qinxin remained silent. Great kindness doesn't require gratitude; but with Lin Xuan’s current abilities, repaying such kindness seemed to be limited to one method. Thinking about it, her face turned slightly red, hoping no one noticed.

"Speaking of which, this time my retreat was shorter than expected. This extra free time can be used for something else. Wu Yun'er, I have heard that the monks from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect are still at the former headquarters of Bìyún Mountain," Lin Xuan said thoughtfully.

"Master Brother wants to take revenge on us; that’s great! I indeed heard about this. Although it's been several months, those monks haven't left."

"Oh?" Lin Xuan was surprised by this unexpected news: "They didn’t leave? Is there something they want?"

"I’m not sure," Wu Yun'er said apologetically.

"It doesn’t matter; knowing they are still there is enough. Lin Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp look. He and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect had an unbreakable enmity, but as one of the Seven Great Sects, his current strength was far from enough to take on their main headquarters.

However, destroying one of their branches would be satisfying. Moreover, this could also avenge Qinxin and Bìyún Mountain, achieving two goals at once.

Wu Yun'er was excited, but Qinxin's expression was mixed with uncertainty. After some hesitation, she finally said, "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Lin, but the rise and fall of cultivation sects is normal. Every year, many families lose their lineages. You don’t need to offend the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect because of us."

"Master," Wu Yun'er was stunned, and so was Lin Xuan. But after some thought, he understood why Qinxin said this: she was thinking about his safety in Yunzhou, where major cultivators were still too powerful to attract such a sect.

Lady Ranyan’s legend was known to Qinxin; she didn’t want Lin Xuan to be targeted by such an old monster.

Unfortunately for Qinxin, Lin Xuan had no other choice. After all the changes he experienced, his enmity with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect was unbreakable. It would either be him or them.

"Qin, I understand your kindness, but there is a history of grudges between us. So you don’t need to persuade me," Lin Xuan said slowly, his eyes filled with a hint of killing intent.

Lin Xuan and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect had an unbreakable enmity; he would eventually extract their souls and spirits one by one.
