Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 159 The Gift: Yuanyang's Hidden Agent
"You little devil!" Lin Le gritted his teeth, picked up Qing Li around the waist, and jumped into the hot spring.

She winked slightly at Lin Le and asked, "Do you want a gift?"

"Yes!" Lin Le said, panting heavily.

"Ugh."

The two parted slightly, their foreheads touching, and Qingli's face was already flushed.

"Then come and get it."

"Okay." Lin Le stepped forward, and the snake pressed against him again, like a yin-yang jade.

However, at this moment, he became entangled with Qingli's consciousness and transmitted a cultivation technique called the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Combined Cultivation Technique to her.

This was found in a Golden Core cultivator's storage bag. It wasn't a particularly superior dual cultivation method, but it was sufficient for this situation.

For three consecutive days, Qingli was the first to give in and beg Lin Le for mercy.

Upon hearing the name of his godfather, Lin Le, who was already at his limit, finally transferred Yuan Yang to Qing Li.

After refining their respective primordial yang and primordial yin, both Lin Le and Qing Li leaned limply against the pool wall.

Looking inward into the three secret realms, one could see the three golden cores rotating at a speed of two revolutions per breath.

Qingli is a dragon-type demon, with bloodlines equivalent to the human race's precious body, and the primordial yin within her is naturally extraordinary.

Breaking through a level is commonplace, but more importantly, Lin Le has now been bathed in dragon blood.

Lin Le felt the surging power within him; the Thirty-Three Symbols were enough to rival the physical strength of a typical sixth-stage Spirit Platform Golden Core cultivator.

Taking into account other comprehensive improvements, it should be enough to fight against an ordinary eighth-stage Golden Core cultivator.

'It seems that dealing with the Zhao family isn't too difficult.'

Lin Le unconsciously crossed his hands.

The strongest member of the Zhao family is none other than Zhao Baorui, a sixth-level Golden Core cultivator. Even if he comprehends the true meaning through the Mystic Crystal, he should still be no match for him.

But the most difficult opponent is not Zhao Baorui, but Prince Yi. Prince Yi is a seventh-level Golden Core cultivator and possesses the imperial aura of a prefecture. In the prefecture city, even a ninth-level Golden Core cultivator would be no match for him.

However, Lin Le glanced at the Golden Core cultivator who could break through to the next realm at any time and felt that it would only take a month or two.

"How many times has your Golden Core been activated?" Lin Le asked curiously, wrapping his arms around her slender waist, which could be grasped in one hand. During their dual cultivation, he could feel that Qing Li was gaining more benefits than he was.

“It’s the third transformation,” Qingli said.

"How much?" Ripples spread across the water, and Lin Le suddenly stood up, an incredulous look on his face.

Qingli blinked and said, "Three turns."

Lin Le asked, somewhat bewildered, "How could it be so fast?"

"Then you'll have to ask yourself." Qingli reached out and poked Lin Le's abs. "What you're transmitting is all primordial yang, not primordial yang."

"All of them are Yuan Yang?" Lin Le was taken aback.

The difference in the order of the two characters, Yuan Yang and Yang Yuan, is like the difference in quality.

Yuan Yang, the yang essence that a person is born with, is contained deep within the body and can only be drawn out when influenced by the harmony of yin and yang; Yang Yuan, which is generated by the two kidneys, is a hundred times less effective than Yuan Yang.

Therefore, all dual cultivation practices place special emphasis on primordial yang and primordial yin.

"This shouldn't be happening." Lin Le looked inward at himself, trying to find his primordial yang.

But he couldn't find it. The problem was that he could always feel the presence of primordial yang when he was cultivating.

Circulating his cultivation technique, Lin Le followed his senses and finally found it.

"Really?"

Lin Le looked at the spiritual root that had merged with his spine, and his lips twitched.

Yang Spiritual Root, Yang Spiritual Root, but unexpectedly it was born from his primordial Yang.

"I've found the reason," Lin Le said, opening his eyes.

"What happened?" Qingli asked curiously.

“My primordial yang and spiritual root have merged and are locked inside my spine,” Lin Le said. “So it’s possible that under the influence of the harmony of yin and yang, the spiritual root transforms ordinary yang into half-primordial yang and sends it out to take its place.”

"I see." Qingli nodded, then suddenly frowned as if she had thought of something. "Take a look and see if this will affect you, like your source being extracted or something?"

Transforming Yang Yuan into Half-Yang Yuan is impossible without any cost; there must be some expenditure.

Lin Le looked inward and shook his head: "No."

"Are you sure?" Qingli placed her fingers on Lin Le's wrist and channeled her magic power to check. Indeed, there was nothing unusual.

Lin Le carefully recalled the process of dual cultivation, and found himself getting closer to Qing Li.

"What?" Qingli blushed and felt a little weak.

"I roughly understand what's going on, but I still need to verify it," Lin Le said, blowing out a breath.

Qingli shuddered: "Again, ooh!"

Lin Le didn't give her a chance to refute. This time, she only cultivated for half a day because Qing Li simply couldn't hold on any longer.

Lin Le also found the consumption required to transform Yang Yuan into half-Yang Yuan, which is to combine three Yang Yuan into one half-Yang Yuan.

In other words, his cultivation ability was reduced by two-thirds. However, with the support of the Crimson Sun Spiritual Root and the Dragon Sparrow Martial Body, even with the reduction of two-thirds, his cultivation ability still surpasses that of male cultivators of the same realm.

The evidence is Qingli, who is slumped over next to him. Dragons have always been outstanding in their cultivation abilities, and Qingli, being a dragon, naturally inherited this advantage.

She was defeated by Lin Le, which naturally proved the superiority of Lin Le's cultivation ability.

In Anrui City, the capital of the prefecture, Zhao Baorui listened to his subordinates' report. After listening, a gloomy look appeared in his eyes because there was still no news of Wen Ziqi.

The only good news is that there's no news of Wen Ziqi in the city; it's as if he's vanished into thin air.

After pacing back and forth for a while, Zhao Baorui decided to go into seclusion for the time being.

Those two mystic crystals are gone, so be it. Life and death are matters for the Prince of Yi, and there's no one in the Prince's mansion who holds any power over them.

Even if Wen Ziqi knew it, could she really jump from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the ninth level of the Golden Core Realm in one go?

Once he comprehends the meaning, the path from Golden Core to Nascent Soul will be completely unobstructed.

Inside the Prince Yi's residence, a curvaceous woman leaned against the bed, her gauze dress barely concealing her allure.

"Lingshan, tell me, why hasn't my dear brother come back yet?" the woman asked, her voice clear yet possessing a captivating allure that made one want to listen further.

Across from her, a woman dressed in black nodded and said, "Yes."

"Tell me, what exactly did my good brother want?" The woman examined her palm. "He killed my idiot, and all he wanted was a spirit item and a mystic crystal?"

Her words clearly indicated that she knew the "Wen Ziqi" was an imposter.

Only those within the family know their own situation. Without her support, it's questionable whether her foolish younger brother could even reach the Foundation Establishment stage, let alone wreak havoc within the cave.

"Trying to break through to the Golden Core stage," Ling Shan said. "Based on the existing clues, that Wen Ziqi is very likely Lin Le in disguise."

"Lin Le, on the other hand, is a demonic figure who has recently risen to prominence. He is suspected of being possessed by a demon lord and cultivating again. His progress is extremely fast. As long as there are enough resources, he can advance quickly. Judging from the speed, he should have already reached the fifth level and is at the point where he needs spiritual items."

"Demon Lord?" The woman frowned. After the Nascent Soul True Lord comes the Out-of-Body Dao Lord, and Demon Lord is the abbreviation for Demon Dao Lord.

If this were the power behind her, it would be one of the dominant forces.

"In addition, he should have successfully broken through to the Golden Core stage. According to the latest news, Liu Cheng'an of the Liu family is dead," Ling Shan said. "He died by gun and fist, which is exactly what Lin Le is good at."

The woman couldn't help but gasp. It had only been a few days, yet he had already successfully broken through to the Golden Core stage and killed Liu Cheng'an, who was at the sixth level of the Golden Core stage.

"So who will he target next?" The woman gave up on trying to use Lin Le. She wasn't that stupid to outwit an old monster.

Ling Shan looked up at her but didn't say anything.

"Me?" The woman straightened up, her voice filled with disbelief. "Lingshan, tell me, by what right?"

“Judging from his past deeds, he always does things by eliminating all traces of the enemy,” Ling Shan said. “Now that Wen Ziqi is dead, he will definitely destroy the Wen family. And now that you are the favored concubine of Prince Yi, he will probably destroy Prince Yi’s mansion as well.”

"Hiss!" The woman gasped. He truly lived up to his title of Demon Lord; when he killed, he aimed to exterminate entire clans.

"What do we do now?" The woman's eyes were filled with uncertainty. "Should we send someone to kill him?"

“No,” Ling Shan shook her head. “Our strength is insufficient.”

"That's true." The woman collapsed onto the bed again. She had just reached the Golden Core stage and then killed Liu Cheng'an, a sixth-stage Golden Core cultivator. After obtaining the resources from him, she had probably advanced even further.

At this point, unless Prince Yi is sent out with his imperial aura to suppress the rebellion, there is no hope of killing Lin Le.

But she can't completely control Prince Yi yet, let alone get him to kill someone.

"Then what do you suggest we do, Lingshan?" the woman said dejectedly. "Are we supposed to abandon this business?"

Ling Shan asked, "Jin He, what do you think is the purpose of the sect sending us here?"

"We will bring Yizhou under our control and await the start of the sect's grand plan," Wen Jinhe said.

“Isn’t this opportunity right now?” Ling Shan said. “As far as I know, both Xuanling Temple and the Liu family have offended Lin Le. If nothing unexpected happens, that reincarnated demon lord will definitely settle scores with them.”

"Without them, wouldn't controlling Yizhou be a piece of cake for us, given our capabilities?"

"So we're just sitting back and watching the tigers fight?" Wen Jinhe said, holding up a finger.

Ling Shan nodded: "Yes."

“Alright.” Wen Jinhe stood up. “I’ll go and make preparations now, and clean up the mess, so that the reincarnated demon lord won’t come knocking on our door.”

Wen Jinhe paused at the door and said, "By the way, you should have killed my parents."

Ling Shan turned her head: "Aren't you going to do it yourself? It's better to handle the matter of severing ties with the mortal world personally."

Wen Jinhe hesitated for a moment, then heard a voice calling out, "My beloved concubine, my beloved concubine, where are you? I've come to find you."

His voice is greasy; you can tell what kind of man he is just by listening to it.

Upon hearing this, Wen Jinhe finally made up his mind: "Fine, I'll do it myself. You go and cripple their cultivation first; my cultivation is not as good as theirs."

"Okay." Ling Shan nodded.
