Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 180 Nascent Soul Attack
Not long after Chong Xuanzi left, Lin Le suddenly opened his eyes again: "Get out here!"

His tone was clearly not as gentle as when he addressed Xuanzi.

A man in black emerged from the shadows, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, True Disciple of the Spirit Pearl!"

Lin Le glanced at the man: "Sacred Heart Sect?"

“The true disciple of Lingzhu is intelligent,” the man in black said. “I wonder if the true disciple of Lingzhu has any plans to join another sect? What Xuantian Sect can give, we can give too, and we can give even more.”

"A pointless recruitment attempt." Lin Le scoffed. "If it's just empty talk, you might as well be dead right now."

"What does the true disciple of Lingzhu want?" the man in black asked.

"Give me ten Spirit Realm Jade pieces to broaden my horizons first," Lin Le said calmly.

Mysterious Jade is a spirit stone even more precious than top-grade spirit stones, and it is divided into three levels: Grotto Heaven, Blessed Land, and Spirit Realm.

The man in black gasped. Lin Le really dared to ask for such an exorbitant price. The Spirit Realm Jade was something even Nascent Soul cultivators craved. Its market value was a thousand top-grade spirit stones, and its actual value was even higher.

Even a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator might not have this much wealth.

"Then I need to apply to my superiors!" As soon as the man in black finished speaking, a beam of black light shot out from his mouth.

What a joke! Their savings in Baihong Kingdom might not even amount to a single piece of Spirit Realm Jade, let alone give Lin Le so much.

Buzz! A long black needle was held between two fingers.

The black needle unleashed a powerful surge of magical energy, but compared to Lin Le's terrifying strength, it was as laughable as a child's wooden sword.

Lin Le then flicked his wrist, sending the black needle flying back and piercing the brain of the stunned man in black.

The man in black fell, and his golden core flew out and landed in the embroidered ball at Lin Le's waist.

There's no need for soul searching; Lin Le already knows where the Sacred Heart Sect's headquarters is in Baihong Kingdom. All he needs to do is go there and kill them.

Now it's just a matter of waiting out the time; his attempt to reverse his progress from the second stage of Golden Core to become a Nascent Soul cultivator is still too conspicuous.

If he had a Nascent Soul level talisman, it wouldn't be a problem, but unfortunately that old bastard really wanted him to die unexpectedly outside, and didn't give him any trump cards to save his life.

No one could see that Nascent Soul old ghost, and he could fool them by saying he had a trump card. But he couldn't break into the Sacred Heart Sect's branch in Baihong Kingdom, because there were too many people there.

Three days later, after finishing his miscellaneous tasks, Lin Le took the exhausted Ling Muzhu and prepared to return to the Xuantian Sect.

Back in Hongjing, Lin Le was intercepted by a group of people on his way to the flying boat.

Lin Le looked calmly at the eunuch in front of him: "Are you saying that the King of Baihong Kingdom wants to host a banquet for me?"

"Yes," the eunuch replied respectfully, bowing his head.

"Let's postpone this banquet for a month or two. I'll go see the king then. I'm quite interested in Baihong Pond in Baihong Kingdom," Lin Le said, waving his sleeve. "As for now, I have to return to my sect to report on the Sacred Heart Demon Sect. Let's postpone this pleasure for a while."

"Yes," the eunuch replied respectfully. "I will go and inform His Majesty immediately."

"Hmm." Lin Le nodded slightly, watching the eunuch lead the ceremonial guard away.

They're really in a bit of a hurry.

Lin Le looked at the landing airship and thought to himself.

Inside the palace, Zhang lightly tapped her fingers on the table, while she sat on the dragon throne that represented the emperor.

The demon realm was wiped out, the hidden guards died, and the Yan family was eradicated. This true disciple of the Spirit Pearl is truly capable.

"Come back in a month or two, I can't wait that long."

In a month or two, who knows how much that spirit pearl will grow? She can't eat or sleep if she doesn't eliminate such a person first.

Inside the cabin, Lin Le and Ling Muzhu sat facing each other. Lin Le asked, "Senior Sister, how was the trip?"

"It's hard to say." Ling Muzhu shook her head, her expression somewhat dejected. Following Guan Wenzhong in handling numerous wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice, she realized how many disgusting things existed in the world. A wife, to seize her husband's family fortune, conspired with her lover to murder him for money; a husband, for wealth and status, willingly offered his wife to a powerful figure; a couple, to avoid burdening their elderly parents, cruelly poisoned them…

This is just the disgusting part; some are even more horrific, such as skinning people to make tools, drowning human infants to create demons, and cutting human blood to refine elixirs...

These incidents, one by one, vividly exposed the evil of human nature to Ling Muzhu, greatly impacting her simple and innocent worldview.

She couldn't imagine that a person could be this bad.

If it weren't for Lin Le getting people to redress their injustices, redistribute land, and return the people's hard-earned money, she wouldn't have believed that goodness still existed in the world.

“It seems that Senior Sister is still in the comprehension stage,” Lin Le said. “Then let’s not talk about this topic for now. Now I will continue to teach you the Dao Guidance Foundation Building Chapter.”

"Okay." Ling Muzhu nodded, perking up.

As long as my junior brother remains good, then this world will not be too dark.

"A single fire in the dantian follows the stars throughout the heavens. At the confluence of Kan and Li, a faint purple mist rises from the Yellow Court..." Lin Le recited the Daoist foundation-building chapter, and Ling Muzhu listened attentively.

As Lin Le recited, Ling Muzhu gradually entered a state of enlightenment.

Seeing Ling Muzhu enter a deeper level of understanding, Lin Le raised an eyebrow. Had her comprehension improved again?
After a long while, Ling Muzhu awoke from her enlightenment, her eyes shining brightly.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Junior Brother," Ling Muzhu said to Lin Ledao.

"No need to thank me, we're family, no need for formalities." Lin Le waved his hand, then took out a storage bag and gave it to Ling Muzhu. "This is part of the spirit stones we harvested this time. Senior Sister, take it and start cultivating."

“Okay.” Ling Muzhu did not refuse.

After letting Ling Muzhu go to cultivate, Lin Le was about to start cultivating as well when he felt his heart skip a beat.

A quick scan with his divine sense revealed some invisible objects chasing the flying boat.

After a moment's thought, Lin Le put down the Qiankun Ring and then walked out of the cabin.

As soon as Lin Le stepped out of the cabin, he felt a malicious gaze fixed on him.

He turned his head and saw the owner of his gaze, a young man dressed in the outer robes of the Xuantian Sect.

When Lin Le looked at him, the young man was not afraid at all; instead, he smiled and nodded at him.

However, there was a hint of sarcasm and smugness in that smile.

Perhaps in his view, participating in an event that could bring down a prodigy like Lin Le was something he could be proud of for the rest of his life.

Lin Le also smiled, but there was no warmth in his smile.

With a single step, Lin Le appeared before the young man, his foot striking down with a powerful kick.

Boom!
The entire airship shook, and the passengers looked around in confusion.

The captain was the first to react, and arrived at the scene in the blink of an eye.

Then he saw Lin Le standing to the side, with an outer disciple lying next to him like a lump of mud.

"Keep an eye on him, don't let him die," Lin Le said to the captain. "Also, hurry up, I can't look after you guys."

"Okay." The captain nodded quickly.

After Lin Le finished speaking, he took a step and flew out of the flying boat.

Upon seeing Lin Le fly out alone, the people who surrounded him already knew they had been exposed.

Without the slightest hesitation, three thick black beams and ten ordinary black beams shot out from mid-air, heading straight for Lin Le.
