Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 148 - Both at Their Limits
A constant mind, eternal and indestructible!
A hint of excitement appeared in Lin Le's eyes; the power of the Burning World Mystic Lotus Undying Wheel far exceeded his expectations.

Simply put, as long as he doesn't believe he's dead, and his body, magic power, and divine sense aren't completely depleted, even if the enemy blows his head off, he can struggle to come back to life.

However, the energy consumption is truly terrifying.

Lin Le felt his magical power decreasing by 10% with every breath, and quickly suppressed the strange phenomenon.

'From now on, it can only be used to save my life.'

Lin Le thought to himself.

Qingli watched as Lin Le condensed the four extraordinary phenomena and then merged them into one, and resentment appeared in her eyes. The little brat who used to need her protection had surpassed her in just one or two months.

Qingli walked to Lin Le's side and whispered, "Lin Le, do you still have any lotus seeds?"

"Yes." Lin Le seemed to know what Qing Li wanted from this question, and five lotus seeds appeared in his palm. "Eat the yellow ones first, then eat the remaining four."

Given Qingli's level of understanding, the cost she would need to expend is naturally much less than his.

"Mm." Qingli nodded, picked up the two-patterned lotus seed and swallowed it.

After a breath, Qingli revealed her true form, and her size began to expand again, growing from thirty-six zhang to forty-nine zhang.

A glistening dorsal fin has been added to its smooth back, running from head to tail.

A moment later, Qingli opened her eyes, a thoughtful look in them, and asked, "A-Le, what was that just now?"

"It's a genuine act of merit." Lin Le didn't intend to hide it.

“The merit of the earth.” A look of sudden realization appeared in Qingli’s eyes.

"Is there a problem?" Lin Le asked.

Qingli shook her head: "No problem, it's just that I know how to quickly develop my bloodline."

Lin Ledao: "Water Lord?"

“Yes.” Qingli nodded.

Lin Le reached out his hand: "Let's continue."

Qingli took one away in an instant, and five or six breaths later, Lin Le heard the sound of rushing water in his ears.

Ice-blue water flowed around the blue and white dragon snake, white wind howled with ice and snow, and an iceberg appeared behind her.

What seemed like just one anomaly turned into three anomalies after Lin Le opened his eyes wide and looked closely.

An iceberg in the sea is one, and a feather drifting in the white wind is another.

The third... Lin Le stared intently at the water's surface, watching the falling snowflakes disappear into the water, and then understood what the third anomaly was.

Through the Looking Glass!

After meditating for a while, Qingli suppressed the strange phenomena and transformed back into human form.

"Have you reached your limit?" Lin Le asked.

"We've arrived." Qingli nodded. "Thank you, Ale."

"Just a thank you?" Lin Le asked with a mischievous grin.

Qingli rolled her eyes at him, then lowered her head.

Their lips met, and a moist expression of gratitude flowed between them.

After a long while, Qingli let go of Lin Le's lips, her face flushed, and asked, "Is this enough?"

Lin Le licked his lips: "Not enough!"

He originally wanted her to call him godfather so he could get back at her, but now he has other ideas.

"Ah!" With a startled cry, Qingli was lifted up by Lin Le and carried towards the carriage.

A ball of embroidered silk fell, taking away Bai Piao and leaving a mindless Taoist soldier to drive the carriage mechanically forward.

A hissing sound could also be heard inside the carriage.

Fifteen minutes later, Qingli swallowed the pale yang energy and glared at Lin Le, who was sitting in the chair.

This little rascal, I don't know which book she learned it from, making her learn some Confucian principles.

Even though she was of demon race origin, she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. "Satisfied now?" Qingli said irritably.

"Satisfied." Lin Le fell into a brief moment of clarity and subconsciously responded.

Qingli stood up, sat on Lin Le's lap, and whispered in his ear, "Then it's my turn."

Is it her turn?
Lin Le snapped out of her daze and noticed that there was an extra "i" in the middle of Qing Li's name.

Qingli's face flushed red. It was all because Lin Le's scorching body was too tempting. During the process of learning Confucianism, the intense heat made her sweat.

As the carriage transformed, the orchid-like fragrance inside gradually intensified, accompanied by the hissing of the snake demon.

The carriage moved slowly forward, the intense heat emanating from inside the carriage melting the surrounding snow into water, which flowed into the grass and was then re-frozen into white ice by the low temperature.

……

A day later, the carriage stopped; they were almost there.

Lin Le helped Qingli, whose legs were a little weak, off the car. He looked at the majestic city in the distance. Anrui City, the capital city, had arrived.

They covered three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in one step, and soon Lin Le and Qing Li arrived at the city gate.

He showed his monk's badge, expecting the soldier to let him through, but the soldier instead said, "Please state your purpose for entering the city."

This unexpected answer made Lin Le raise an eyebrow slightly, but he wouldn't kill someone over such a trivial matter, so he replied, "I'm visiting my uncle. He makes a living in the prefectural city, so I came to see him."

"What is your uncle's name?" the soldier asked respectfully, but continued.

“Huang Muzhi,” Lin Le said.

The soldier paused as he was about to write something down, which made Lin Le raise an eyebrow slightly. He hadn't expected to find a clue so quickly.

To be honest, he knew absolutely nothing about his uncle except for his name and place of origin.

I originally estimated it would take two or three days to search, but I didn't expect to find a clue as soon as I arrived.

"You know him?" Lin Le asked.

"No..." The soldier stopped speaking and saw Lin Le staring at him indifferently, with mountains of corpses behind him.

"I know him," the soldier said with difficulty.

"Tell me, how did you meet?" Lin Le asked.

One of the captains seemed to realize that the soldiers had been questioning him for too long, and immediately came over and said, "Hey waiter, what are you doing!"

Then he saw a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood pressing down on him. Lin Le stared at him indifferently and said, "Shut up."

The captain swallowed hard and nodded: "Yes."

Lin Le looked at the soldier again: "Speak."

"Yes." The soldier swallowed hard and told him everything he knew.

Soon, watching the two leave, the soldier and the captain both breathed a sigh of relief. Then the captain gave the soldier a hard slap on the head:

"You bastard, didn't I tell you? Just pretend you don't see cultivators. That one today was even more bloodthirsty. It's only because he had some principles when he killed that he did. You're going to die today, you know that!"

"Yes." The soldier bowed his head.

"What do you mean, 'you've caused trouble'? You know that!" the captain said irritably. "What did he just ask you?"

"He's looking for his uncle, Huang Muzhi," the soldier whispered.

Huang Muzhi? The captain frowned: "That Huang Muzhi?"

"Most likely," the soldier said. "There aren't many people with the surname Huang in our city."

The captain recalled the scene of carnage and bloodshed that had just occurred and knew that something truly terrible had happened; that guy's temper was clearly formidable.

The captain tore off the paper he had just written on and immediately kicked the soldier: "Get out! Take leave and go back to your hometown right now. Don't come back until I tell you!"

"Now?" The soldier glanced at the sky.

"Now, immediately, right now!" the captain growled. "You remember this: you didn't see either of these two today, understand?"

Seeing the captain's serious expression, the soldier knew something was really wrong and immediately turned and left.
