Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 134, Number Sixty-Nine
On the other side of the wooden cell, the captured people looked at the blood-red Taoist soldiers outside the cage with hopeful yet somewhat fearful eyes.

Hope was that after they arrived, not a single wolf demon was seen rushing towards them; fear was that they looked so fierce and menacing that they inspired dread at first glance.

Seemingly receiving some order, the soldiers turned around and swung their swords to cut down the prison door.

Then Bai Piao, who looked refined, walked over and said, "Come out, the wolf demon has been eliminated, you can go home now."

"Really?" someone asked in disbelief.

"Really." Bai Piao glanced at him indifferently. "There's nothing about you guys that my master would care about."

"Thank you so much for your great kindness!"

"Thank you so much, sir, for saving us from this dire situation!"

The people in the cages immediately knelt down and expressed their gratitude.

An old man, slightly emboldened, asked, "May I ask the name of that sir? We will spread the word that we are honoring him in the future!"

“General Weiling,” Bai Piao said after thinking for a moment, then reached out and said, “Alright, stop dawdling and go with it. It will escort you to Bitter Bamboo City.”

Following the direction Bai Piao pointed, everyone saw a large snake with interwoven black and white patterns crawling along the waterway.

"Thank you so much for your great kindness, sir!" the old man said, bowing deeply. Then he said to the others, "What are you all standing there for? Let's go."

The group snapped out of their fear of the giant snake and instinctively followed the old man away.

After watching the trapped people leave, Bai Piao turned around and continued working. He still had to direct the soldiers to skin the wolves and separate their bones.

Beside a hot spring bathed in the glow of the sunset, the spring water seemed to shimmer with a faint golden-red light, and the rising steam carried a unique sandalwood fragrance.

Dozens of small fish frolic in the spring water, each exuding a rich spiritual energy.

Those small fish are the essence condensed in this spiritual pool. According to the information Lin Le obtained, eating these spiritual fish has the effect of nourishing yin and replenishing yang.

Every year, the prefect would send people to the Black Flame Wolf King in exchange for the spirit fish from this place.

Lin Le swept his divine sense across the area, and the little fish in the hot spring became immobilized. With a wave of his hand, the little fish flew to Lin Le's front.

"Here you go." Lin Le gave half to Qing Li, then grabbed a piece and ate it himself.

Although it is made of condensed spiritual energy, it still has a meaty texture when you bite into it. The meat is chewy, juicy, and has a honey-like sweetness.

After taking a few bites, Lin Le couldn't help but lick his lips; it really was delicious.

Looking at the remaining spirit fish, Lin Le's eyes revealed a trace of regret. It was a pity there were too few, and they were not easy to preserve. Otherwise, they would have been perfect as a snack in the future.

When the small fish enters the stomach, the spiritual energy and special substances contained within are immediately absorbed by the body.

Because it was so delicious, Lin Le couldn't help but finish it all in one go, and then looked at Qing Li beside him.

Then he saw Qingli looking at him with her mouth puffed out; clearly, she had also finished her meal and was about to ask for some more.

For some reason, the two of them suddenly burst into laughter, a strange kind of laughter, because they didn't know why they were laughing, perhaps they both found the other's expression amusing.

After laughing for a while, Lin Le looked at the hot spring: "Is there a way to make spirit fish generate quickly?"

Qingli thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "No."

"That's a pity," Lin Le said regretfully.

Lin Le reached out to feel the water temperature, then turned to Qing Li and asked, "Want to take a bath?"

“Okay.” Qingli nodded, and then took the lead in jumping into the hot spring, causing the water level to rise significantly.

The spring water suddenly turned red and blue alternately.

After Lin Le stripped down to only his underwear, he jumped into the hot spring.

Leaning against the pool wall, Lin Le felt the hot spring water stimulating his skin, his blood flow quickening, and he couldn't help but let out a comfortable breath.

At this moment, Hun Tian Ling dragged over a large pile of already refined meat pills.

Lin Le grabbed a handful and threw them into his mouth; they had a strong muttony smell.

Within his inner vision, a two-patterned earth lotus seed evaporated, and in a single thought, nine years passed. Lin Le continued to practice the Dragon Sparrow Fighting Heaven Technique.

Upon regaining his senses, the meat pill in Lin Le's mouth was quickly digested and transformed into nutrients to support the growth of Lin Le's physical body.

The Hun Tian Ling continuously supplied Lin Le with the flesh pills, which Lin Le drank as easily as water. His physical strength began to grow, and with each breath, Lin Le's strength increased by more than a thousand jin.

Once the flesh core was depleted, Lin Le's body began to absorb the spiritual energy from the spiritual pool beneath him.

After a while, Lin Le opened his eyes, clenched his fist, and unleashed the power of the Six Symbols.

However, changes in strength are the simplest; the more important changes are in physical constitution.

Lin Le's fingernail became sharp, and then he used it to stab his own skin.

Subtle, feather-like patterns appeared on Lin Le's skin.

The Spirit Phoenix Feather can spread an attack from a single point to the entire body, and has the effect of deflecting force.

Then Lin Le applied a little force with his finger and pierced his own skin.

The Fighting Heaven Force is a unique power generation method belonging to the Dragon Sparrow Martial Body, which can easily penetrate and tear through the enemy's defenses.

Just as Lin Le pressed down with his finger, he could no longer press down, as if there was a steel plate blocking him from below.

The Xuanlong Armor is a special magical power formed by refining magic power using the Dragon Sparrow Fighting Heaven Technique. It can be spread throughout Lin Le's body daily, passively reacting to sudden attacks.

Remove your hand, and the wound heals at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Le squinted, enjoying the bath again, while also thinking about which family he would target next.

Suddenly, Lin Le felt something warm yet slightly cool wrap around him.

Lin Le opened his eyes and saw Qing Li looking at him in a half-human, half-snake form, her eyes somewhat dazed.

"What's wrong?" Lin Le asked, puzzled.

"It's all your fault!" Qingli said coquettishly, her expression exceptionally charming.

"It's my fault?" Lin Le asked, puzzled. "What did I do wrong?"

The white buoy floated on the water, and Qingli's fingers slid across Lin Le's chest: "Did you just enhance your physical body?"

“Yes.” Lin Le nodded, still puzzled.

“Your yang energy has dissipated,” Qingli said, pressing herself against Lin Le, “which is why you smell so good.”

"Moreover, those fish nourish yin and yang, and are considered tonics for that purpose. Look, Uncle Chen is here, and so is Aunt Chun."

Like a snake shedding its skin, Qingli slowly rubbed against the rock-solid yet slightly fleshy stone pillar.

She bit her lip lightly: "That's why I feel bad, Ah Le."

Lin Le gritted his teeth and said, "Bear with it. We can't afford to lose our vital essence now."

"But I feel terrible, please help me," Qingli said coquettishly, like a girl who didn't want to reason with anyone.

Lin Le's eyes turned crimson. After cultivating the Soul Slaughtering View, his six desires had become much stronger, but with the Golden Light Divine Mantra suppressing them, his usual performance was still quite good.

But when he's truly stimulated, he's no different from any other person.

Lin Le quickly thought of a solution, but due to the influence of his six desires, his first reaction was not how to calm the two down, but how to vent his emotions.

Thanks to the advanced information available in his previous life, Lin Le wasn't completely ignorant. He quickly came up with a solution, commonly known as the "Sixty-Nine".

Lin Le whispered in Qing Li's ear, and Qing Li's flushed face cooled down a bit: "Lick there, isn't that too unclean?"

"We've both opened a city gate, and we're perfectly clean from head to toe." Lin Le rolled her eyes. "What's this about being clean or not!"

"But aren't you humans very resistant to this?" Qingli asked, puzzled.

Lin Le stroked his chin: "It depends on the person, but I'm not against it."

"Alright, let's give it a try," Qingli said, biting her lip. She felt uncomfortably hot.

"Hmm." Lin Le pulled Qing Li down to the bottom of the pool. With their skills, holding their breath for an hour was commonplace.

The pool water rippled rhythmically, with a few bubbles occasionally rising from the water droplets.
