第四卷 七星岛 第七百零七章 天才再现

For Xin, Lin Xuan's eyes widened in surprise when he read this. But after the initial shock, there was a sense of relief.

Unlike humans, while妖族 transformed beings would also use talismans and external objects, they placed great emphasis on cultivating their own bodies as well.

Some even trained their natural sharp teeth and claws to an incredible degree, making them capable of breaking through metal and stone like cutting tofu with a knife. They could directly withstand the power of boundary-defining talismans.

Although human bodies were inferior to those of妖族, it wasn't strange that one could match ordinary talismans in hardness by refining their techniques to their utmost depth, even if they fell short of the latter's natural abilities.

Lin Xuan sighed. The path of cultivation was indeed mysterious and unpredictable. Even he himself had only just scratched the surface.

Putting down his book, he noticed it was already late. The sun had set behind the hills. Lin Xuan began to sit cross-legged in meditation. He hadn't properly cultivated for several days, so he needed to catch up on his training.

This place was a prime location for妖脉, but its essence was incredibly thin, unsuitable for cultivators like him. Earlier, he could rely on various spirit herbs and medicinal materials to support his cultivation. Now, he had to depend more on his own efforts.

Lin Xuan wouldn't be bored enough to eavesdrop on two low-ranking disciples, but their situation seemed peculiar. The girl's face was filled with anger while the man next to her looked around 30 years old and handsome, though there was a hint of evil in him.

Rescuing a beauty wasn't Lin Xuan's interest, but he learned from yesterday that she had given him a book. He felt a bit grateful towards her. If she truly needed help, he wouldn't mind lending a hand; it would be just a breath for him.

Not all cultivators were cold-hearted. Sometimes, Lin Xuan did good deeds as well.

"Gold family, you shouldn't bully people too much!" the girl named Ye Ping'er said angrily.

"I'm Miss Ping'er, and your words are unjustified. I have deep feelings for you and hope to become your partner in cultivation," the man stepped forward with a smile on his face, but it was clear he wanted to beat him up.

"Partner in cultivation?" Ye Ping'er's face turned red, adding more charm. Despite not being an absolute beauty, her natural allure was enough to captivate Lin Xuan from afar. He couldn't help but think that this girl was a祸国殃民的尤物, which explained why the man was so infatuated with her.

However, Ye Ping'er quickly vanished and replaced by a determined expression: "Gold family, don't have such foolish thoughts. Even if I marry a pig, I won't be like you!"

Her words were a metaphor, but they showed how much she disliked this man. He had already ruined the purity of many women before being taken under the wing of Kun Nan.

The man named Gold's eyes flashed with anger, but he quickly restrained himself and hardened his tone: "Miss Ping'er, I sincerely want to be your cultivation partner. Why reject me? The Ye family is in decline, you're no longer a prominent lady. As an ordinary cultivator, I have my ancestors' support, and my techniques are about to reach their peak..."

"Stop! Even if the Ye family has declined, Ping'er won't lose her honor by doing such things," Ye Ping'er said firmly.

"You're Kun Nan's heir, so you don't need to use his name to intimidate me. Hmph! Gold family, do you think I'm ignorant of your history? You've been a womanizer since before entering the cultivation path. You've ruined many women and even used them as鼎炉," Ye Ping'er said.

"Ridiculous!" The man named Gold's face turned lecherous: "Since you're not wise, I'll make you my鼎炉."

With that, he revealed his true colors, no longer pretending to be a righteous person. He began to openly admire the girl's beauty.

"Perverse!" Ye Ping'er was both ashamed and angry. She stomped her foot and summoned a few black balls of light from her palm—妖弹术, a初级法术, similar to fireballs in human realms.

Ye Ping'er was only中期灵动, so she couldn't summon more powerful talismans. The small black balls of energy flew towards the man with all her might!

"Ha! A petty trick. You dare defy my will despite your low cultivation level."

The man named Gold sneered and released a black aura. He remained unmoved as his transformed arm suddenly grew larger, muscles bulging.

"Jin transformation technique!" Ye Ping'er was terrified but didn't show it on her face. She pulled out a sharp dagger from her storage bag.

"Ah, a mid-rank灵器, it seems Lady Ye has some good things at hand," the man named Gold said casually, though his expression turned serious. A mid-rank灵器 wasn't something to be taken lightly.

"Quickly!"

Ye Ping'er threw the dagger towards the man, who caught it with his transformed arm. But Lin Xuan, hiding in the shadows, noticed a trick.

Sure enough, as the dagger approached the monstrous arm, several small tentacles suddenly emerged from it, wrapping around the blade like venomous snakes.

For Lin Xuan, this was just another trivial matter, but he marveled at the complexity and mystery of妖修 techniques.

"Ah!" Ye Ping'er screamed. The transformation caught her off guard, and she couldn't change tactics in time. The dagger was trapped by the tentacles.

Ye Ping'er's face turned pale, but she didn't give up. She formed a hand seal and the dagger glowed with妖光, trying to break free.

But the tentacles were incredibly strong and slippery, offering no points for leverage. Despite its sharpness, the dagger was completely trapped.

"Little girl, stop wasting your energy. Come with me, and you'll suffer less," the man named Gold said seductively, though his expression showed he thought himself magnanimous.

"Ugh!"

Ye Ping'er remained unmoved. She flicked her wrist and another talisman appeared, but she didn't release it. Instead, she stuck it to herself, transforming into a green light that broke through the air and flew away.
