Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 218 - Suppressing Mountains and Moving Mountains
On the same day, news spread that their sect had acquired more unclaimed land that could serve as a foundation for their lineage, sparking heated discussions among the inner disciples.

They discussed who would end up with the resources of this unclaimed land.

But just as they were beginning their heated discussion, they heard even more shocking news: the Daoist lineage was being reformed.

The seventy-two peaks were changed to thirty-six heavenly peaks and seventy-two earthly peaks, and resources were redistributed.

The division period lasted for six months, and the rankings were re-divided based on the resources of each peak, the cultivation level of the leaders and disciples.

This system was quite well received once it was introduced, since some peaks had true disciples who were stronger than the peak leaders, which was truly a different level.

Moreover, some important resources are distributed equally. In the past, we had to find a reason to seize them. Now, we can just take more for ourselves, which reduces a lot of trouble and makes us look much better.

Although those with inferior Dao veins may feel somewhat resentful, since they are destined to become Earth Peaks, they can accept it upon closer examination, because their future competitors will be equally inferior Peaks.

If you can't beat someone too strong, can't you at least beat someone of the same level?

The fervor within the Xuantian Sect intensified, and the name Lingzhuzi spread far and wide.

All of this stemmed from the fact that this Lingzhuzi gained the approval of the Nine Treasures Sect Master, which gave the Xuantian Sect the opportunity to absorb the Nine Treasures Sect.

On the other side, on a mountain peak that appeared lush and green but was actually filled with poisonous gas, the Holy Heart Sect's Medical Saint looked at the jade slip in his hand, then crushed it with force, his voice filled with resentment:

"That hateful brat!"

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, that Lingzhuzi was lucky to gain the recognition of the Nine Treasures Sect Master, and the Nine Treasures Sect's turnaround was mostly due to the great efforts of the Resurrection Dao Lord himself.

But the Sage of Medicine, one of the architects of this plan, knew that it was not so simple.

The sect leader of the Nine Treasures Sect had long been targeted by him, and several months ago, Daoist Qingxin even sent word that he had successfully assassinated him.

He thought that after a year or two, his lineage of the Medical Saint would have another Medicine Yaksha who could leave his body, and he would be able to advance further.

Instead of good news, he received bad news, which made him angry and resentful!
Although he didn't know what methods that Spirit Pearl had used, he was certain that this Spirit Pearl was not simple and must have put in a lot of effort.

We must kill him; otherwise, he won't be happy!
The medical sage lowered his brows: "Patient child."

“Disciple is here,” a handsome young man said.

"Go, issue warrants for the arrest of that Lingzhuzi to the other Daoist lineages," the Medical Sage said. "If he's alive, give him three Taiqing Soul-Preserving Pills; if he's dead, give him one."

The handsome young man asked in surprise, "Master, isn't this bounty a bit too high?"

The Taiqing Soul-Preserving Pill is a pill used to break through the Nascent Soul Realm. One pill can increase the chance of breaking through by 30%. It is an excellent pill among the fifth-grade treasure pills.

"Go when I tell you to." The Sage of Medicine waved his hand. "That kid is no ordinary person. He might be of great use to my lineage."

As far as he knew, the Tianqing lineage had no means to control the plague, which meant that the spirit pearl had a unique method that was very effective against the plague, otherwise it would have been impossible to break his plan.

If one can comprehend and decipher it, the true meaning of his lineage as a medical sage will be even more complete, touching upon the realm of the Divine Transformation.

Compared to the long-term future, temporary gains and losses are nothing.

Even if all else fails, with that kid's innate talent of the Crimson Sun Spiritual Root, he could refine a medicinal human and sell it to those demonic cultivators who are skilled at absorbing yang energy to replenish yin or yang energy to replenish yang, which would be a sure-fire way to make a profit.

"Yes." The handsome young man withdrew.

A few days later.

At the entrance of Bigui Danfang and Mukangtang, a sign indicating that the store is closed has been hung up, signifying that it will no longer be open for business.

This left many demon hunters heartbroken, as there would be no skilled doctors left to treat the disease.

As for the fact that Mu Kang Tang would be closing down, not many demon hunters were surprised. They could tell that Doctor Lin was probably a sage who lived a carefree life in the mortal world. Otherwise, the income of a clinic wouldn't be enough to support his daily extravagance, nor would he have survived the rampage of the calamity cultivators.

At the Nine Treasures Sect, Lin Le held a magic seal and watched as the flying boat in the sky activated the sect's protective formation.

A powerful divine sense swept across the area, and only after confirming there were no traps did the flying boat land.

A group of people stepped out of the airship. The leader was a burly middle-aged man with red eyebrows and red hair, who exuded a fierce aura.

Lin Le did have some impression of him; he was the chief of Tianshan Peak, Zhenshanzi, and he had even borrowed the fundamental scripture of his lineage—the Tianshan Furnace Blood Battle Scripture.

"Greetings, Uncle Zhenshan." Lin Le and Ling Muzhu bowed to him.

Zhenshanzi sized up Lin Le, then suddenly reached out and pinched his bones, laughing, "Good lad, I felt something was off about you last time I saw you, and this time, after touching you myself, I can confirm it. You actually possess both martial and physical strength, and your body refinement is quite good!"

These words stunned his disciples. Not only did the Spirit Pearl possess a spiritual body, but it also had a martial body!
A dual-spirit physique is extremely rare in the history of the Xuantian Sect, with only one or two cases.

"It was completed the day after tomorrow," Lin Le said calmly.

“Even if you develop your physique later in life, it’s still a martial body. So, are you interested in transferring to the Tianshan Peak lineage?” Zhenshanzi asked.

"No need." Lin Le remained unmoved. "I have already borrowed the Blood Battle Manual of the Heavenly Furnace."

The implication is that, without serious matters, Tianshan Peak no longer holds any appeal for him.

“Even without the Blood Battle Scripture, my Tianshan Peak has many good things,” Zhenshanzi said. “As far as I know, Tianqing Peak doesn’t have many good things suitable for body tempering.”

“It’s enough for me alone,” Lin Le replied.

“That’s true.” Zhen Shanzi scratched his head. “I forgot you’re still the only son of that pale-faced Xu Ling.”

"Uncle-Master Zhenshan, what are the sect's plans for the Nine Treasures Sect?" Lin Le brought the conversation back to the main topic.

“Move it back and open another branch,” Zhen Shanzi replied crisply.

"Move back?" Lin Le glanced at the mountain peak beneath his feet. Although it wasn't the most magnificent mountain he had ever seen, it was still three or four thousand feet high.

Its weight should also be measured in kyats (kyats: 10^16).

It wouldn't be difficult for Lin Le to disperse them; it would just be a matter of killing time.

But it's impossible to carry an entire one away; even if there were ten or a hundred, he couldn't do it.

"Hehe, take a closer look later, this is a skill only a master can possess." Zhenshanzi chuckled, "Stand still on the flying boat and watch carefully."

Lin Le and Ling Muzhu stood on the flying boat, and then they saw a group of disciples starting to get busy.

With Lin Le's perspective, he could see what they were doing: establishing auspicious feng shui and a sacred site.

Four or five days later, they finally finished their work, and it was time for Zhenshanzi to make his move.

With Zhen Shanzi in front and his many disciples behind, they were united as magical power surged, and then a giant a thousand feet tall with skin made of lava appeared behind them.

Then Zhenshanzi struck a token into the mountain, and a thin layer of yellow light enveloped the entire mountain.

Then the giant behind him made his move. Even though the mountain in front of him was twice as tall as him, he lifted it onto his shoulder with a little effort.

"go!"

With a loud shout, Jiubao Mountain moved amidst the horrified gazes of all living things around it.
