Chapter 165 How about giving me your compensation, Senior Sister?

"Golden-crowned python, two-headed strange beast...it seems your journey has been quite exciting."

Yin Daoyan glanced at Zhong Lin with a strange expression. He didn't expect that Zhong Lin would encounter two of these strange beasts that he had difficulty seeing, and one of them was a mutated two-headed beast.

Considering the rarity of exotic beasts, encountering one is even rarer than killing one.

Zhong Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Disciple didn't expect his luck to be so good, but it's a good thing. It can help me gain some combat experience."

But it's not just combat experience. The two beads of unknown origin in the body of the two-headed monster are also the basis for Zhong Lin to integrate the "Five Elements Hunyuan Gong", which is of great help.

Suddenly, Yin Daoyan's expression became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "So you have found the Xuanbing Flower?"

"Ah."

Zhong Lin took out a jade box from his arms. When he opened it, a palm-sized black ice flower with a faint orchid color appeared in front of the two of them, accompanied by a chill.

"It is indeed the black ice flower. I didn't expect that such a precious material would be found in an ordinary mountain. It's a pity that I have been searching for it in the snow-capped mountains for so many years." Yin Daoyan complained helplessly.

Zhong Lin also smiled and said, "Master, the only materials left for refining the Barrier Breaking Pill are the Tianyuan Fruit and the Seven Star Grass. As long as we gather all the materials, with our alchemy abilities as master and disciple, refining the Barrier Breaking Pill will be a piece of cake."

Tianyuan Fruit is a magical fruit that can prolong life. It grows in the deserted mountains where few people or animals go. One fruit is said to extend one's life by ten years.

Seven-star grass is a medicinal herb with golden star spots on its leaves. This plant is not rare, but the seven stars are rare.

Seven-star grass will produce a golden spot on its leaves every hundred years. It takes seven hundred years to reach seven stars, so it also takes a lot of effort to find it.

If these two materials could be found, Yin Daoyan and Zhong Lin were both fourth-grade alchemists, and with the cooperation of master and disciple, the Barrier Breaking Pill would be just a fourth-grade pill, so they could naturally refine it.

Yin Daoyan smiled slightly. "Only the Tianyuan Fruit is left. I found the Seven Star Grass three years ago. I also have clues about the Tianyuan Fruit. I just haven't found the right person to help me get it. There's a strange beast guarding the Tianyuan Fruit."

Zhong Lin's eyes lit up, his body shook violently, and he asked in surprise, "Really?"

Zhong Lin couldn't help but be excited. This was the Barrier Breaking Pill, an unparalleled pill that could help one break through to the first level and become a Grandmaster.

Although Master Yin Daoyan said that the sect has a method for breakthrough, the breakthrough rate must be extremely low. Otherwise, why are the three great elders and the eldest senior brother Shi Yunyi, whom he has never met, still stuck in the first-grade pure Yuan realm?

But the Barrier Breaking Pill is different. Only one pill is needed to easily break through the realm. Now the only material missing is a Tianyuan Fruit. Zhong Lin is naturally very excited.

"of course it's true."

Yin Daoyan smiled and said, "I discovered this Tianyuan Fruit two years ago, but it's not yet ripe. Calculating the date, it should be ripe in the next two months. I was thinking of returning to the sect to ask the Grand Elder or the Sect Master for help, but I didn't expect you to have already reached the first level. This is enough, so there's no need to return."

"That's great, Master. When are we going?"

Zhong Lin's face was full of excitement, and he couldn't wait to pick the Tianyuan Fruit.

"Don't worry. Wait until your master is ready before setting off to ensure that everything goes well. This is related to your future path in martial arts, and there must not be the slightest mistake." Yin Daoyan said solemnly.

"Ah."

Zhong Lin also nodded. It is indeed necessary to be well prepared and have all the necessary measures.

While the two were talking, the door was suddenly pushed open and a fragrant breeze blew in. They subconsciously looked up and saw that the person who came was Gu Yourong.

"Zhong... Zhong Lin, when did you come back?" Gu Yourong looked at Zhong Lin in the room with surprise, his face full of astonishment, but more of joy.

"Sister."

Zhong Lin also stood up slowly and looked at Gu Yourong with a smile on his face.

Yin Daoyan, who was standing aside, looked at the two of them with an auntie's smile, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I don't need anyone to accompany me here, you young people can go out and have a look by yourselves!"

Zhong Lin bowed to Yin Daoyan and stood up to take his leave. Gu Yourong also suppressed his inner joy and walked out as well.

"Zhong Lin, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Gu Yourong said with a little dissatisfaction.

Zhong Lin smiled slightly, stepped forward and blocked Gu Yourong's way, and asked irrelevantly, "It's been more than half a year since we last met. Senior Sister, do you miss me?"

The sudden approaching masculine scent made Gu Yourong's heart beat wildly. She was so scared that she quickly took two steps back, and her fair face was flushed.

"You...what are you talking nonsense about?"

"Really? Then why did Senior Sister come running here breathlessly? Isn't it because of me?"

Zhong Lin took another step forward and forced Gu Yourong into a corner, making him unable to move.

Gu Yourong also thought of the news that Zhong Lin had returned after hearing it from Manager Deng, so he ran over without hesitation, with Zhong Lin's figure all in his mind.

Without waiting for Gu Yourong to answer, Zhong Lin had already pressed his body against her. The first thing he felt was Gu Yourong's broad-mindedness, which even created a considerable gap between them and prevented them from getting completely close.

Zhong Lin leaned forward, head lowered, and a soft voice rang in Gu Yourong's ears: "Senior Sister, Junior Brother, I miss you so much!"

"ah!"

Gu Yourong, who was already frightened, was suddenly touched by Zhong Lin's hot breath on his earlobe. Like a frightened rabbit, he screamed, pushed Zhong Lin away, and fled in panic.

However, just after he ran two steps, Zhong Lin grabbed his arm and pulled him back. His body spun around and he was locked tightly in his arms.

"You...please let me go."

Gu Yourong shyly wanted to push Zhong Lin away, but her body was soft and weak at this moment. She was obviously a third-grade warrior who had condensed his qi and blood, but at this moment she seemed to be worse than an ordinary person.

Zhong Lin continued to lower his head and leaned over to Gu Yourong's ear, saying in a deep voice, "Senior Sister, I heard from Manager Deng that you sent all the maids in my courtyard away. The night is long and I can't sleep. What should I do then, Junior Brother?"

The scorching breath made Gu Yourong's earlobe red, even to the point of being almost transparent, causing Zhong Lin to unable to help but lick it with his tongue.

“Ah… you you…”

White smoke came out of Gu Yourong's shy head, her body softened, and she collapsed directly into Zhong Lin's arms, without even a trace of strength left.

Zhong Lin continued, "Senior Sister, my maids are all carefully selected beauties, and you sent them away like this. How do you think you will compensate me?"

Gu Yourong suppressed her inner shyness and said tremblingly, "How...how are you going to make it up to me?"

"How about you compensate me, Senior Sister?"
