A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

Chapter 162 Numerous Treasures

Wen Tianren fled without looking back, and Lin He did not pursue him. He knew that with Qing Yi there, the other party would never let him kill Wen Tianren, otherwise Liu Dao would come to settle accounts with Qing Yi.

Seeing that Lin He did not take the opportunity to pursue Wen Tianren, Qing Yi nodded and said, "Young friend Lin, this matter was my fault. This is my apology. Please accept it."

Lin He accepted the jade slip he was given, and Qing Yi explained, "I didn't expect you to be able to cultivate the Gold-Eating Insects to this extent. You must have had some good fortune. However, controlling Gold-Eating Insects of this level requires a lot of spiritual energy. I found this jade slip in the ruins of an ancient cultivator. It contains a pill called the Spirit-Supporting Pill, which can enhance a cultivator's spiritual energy for a short time, but it will make the body extremely weak afterward. So, young friend, you should take it with caution."

Lin He was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Senior Qing!"

At this moment, the giant tortoise puppet also flew over with Mei Ning. Qing Yi then gave Mei Ning a top-grade magic weapon, which made the latter overjoyed.

Qing Yi then looked at Lin He and said, "Young friend Lin, are you really not going to become my disciple? You should know that I have no children or disciples. If you become my disciple, everything I own will be yours after I pass away."

Lin He shook his head and said, "Senior Qing, you promised me great benefits to become your disciple, but is a disciple accepted in this way truly sincere? It's just for profit."

Qingyi was speechless for a moment before saying, "Then tell me, what must I do for you to agree to become my disciple?"

Qing Yi truly cherishes talent. He cultivated from a rogue cultivator to the Nascent Soul stage, so his standards are naturally very high. However, Lin He was far too satisfactory to him, having actually defeated a genius like Wen Tianren to the point of fleeing in disarray. He no longer has the opportunity or the time to find another disciple like Lin He.

Lin He frowned, wanting to get rid of him as soon as possible, and casually said, "Of course, sincerity must be exchanged for sincerity, otherwise how could I sincerely become your disciple?"

"True sincerity for true sincerity?" Qing Yi said with a bitter expression, "Are there still people like that in this world?"

"Since you cannot do it, senior, then there is no need to mention the matter of taking on a disciple. I have other important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

After saying that, Lin He packed up all his things and then flew away with Mei Ning.

As Qingyi Jushi watched his retreating figure, he remained pondering the phrase, "To exchange sincerity for sincerity?" for a long while.

In Tianxing City, Lin He led Mei Ning into the city, while Mei Ning kept glancing at Lin He, prompting him to ask, "Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"

Mei Ning shook her head and said, "I'm just amazed that I was able to meet someone like Young Master Lin. I'm still in a daze, as if I'm dreaming."

Lin He smiled and said, "Of course you're not dreaming. I'll take you to a wonderful place you'd never expect later."

"Really?" Mei Ning asked with a curious look.

Lin He did not immediately teleport to the outer sea, but instead took Mei Ning to the Miaoyin Sect.

When Sect Leader Wang and Zhou Yuan saw Lin He, they immediately showed great respect, and then glanced at Mei Ning.

Lin He naturally understood what they meant, and casually said, "Mei Ning is not an outsider, so please feel free to speak your mind."

Mei Ning was overjoyed upon hearing this, while Zhou Yuan immediately understood. She quickly took out a jade slip and two storage bags. "Protector Lin, the formula for the Azure Spirit Pill has been collected. The other required materials are in this storage bag. You can refine the Azure Spirit Pill after you return. As for the other storage bag, it contains the materials for refining the two magic treasures you mentioned before."

Lin He was very satisfied with what he saw. He took out a sum of spirit stones and gave them to her. Then he put the things away and took out a list of materials and handed it to Zhou Yuan. These were the materials for refining the Spirit-Supporting Pill. The latter naturally agreed to use the power of the Wonderful Sound Sect to find them as soon as possible.

Lin He then asked them to help find another place, and although Zhou Yuan found it strange, she still agreed.

The two leaders of the Miaoyin Sect were extremely respectful to Lin He, appearing to be obedient to his orders, which greatly surprised Mei Ning.

She had naturally heard of the Miaoyin Sect, but she never expected Lin He to have such a great deal of influence here.

"You don't need to send anything to that cave anymore. I'm taking them with me."

"Them?" Zhou Yuan secretly admired them, then glanced at Mei Ning.

Mei Ning looked bewildered, but she quickly realized that she had seen Yuan Yao and Yan Li in the rented cave.

Yanli's appearance might catch her eye at most, but Yuan Yao's beauty made Mei Ning sigh in admiration.

Mei Ning didn't have any resentment. Many cultivators like Lin He, who were in the Core Formation stage, had dual cultivation partners and many concubines. Some cultivators even had many cultivation furnaces.

"Young Master Lin!"

Yuan Yao and Yan Li quickly greeted each other, then looked at Mei Ning with curiosity.

"Come on, I'm going to take you to a nice place next."

Lin He, along with the three women, was quickly teleported to the outer sea and arrived at Biling Island.

The three women were also surprised to see Yan Ruyan and the others. After Lin He introduced them, he asked Yan Ruyan to arrange for them to stay.

Lin He himself went to a secret room. He had gained a lot from this trip, so he naturally wanted to take stock of it.

During this trip, he killed several Core Formation stage cultivators, including five from the Qingyang Sect, four from Sect Master Sun, Wu Chou, the Crimson Fire Old Monster, and three from the Sea Sand Gang. Finally, he also snatched three treasures from Wen Tianren.

The others were one thing, but the storage bags on Sect Master Sun and the young master of Qingyang Sect contained quite a few good things.

Sect Master Sun's Cold Dawn Pearl is a very good magic weapon, along with a fragment of the Void Heaven Map and four early-stage Core Formation clones.

The young master of Qingyang Sect had many valuable items on him. Lin He found five Azure Fire Thunders and a fragmented map of the Void Heaven Palace in his storage bag, which even thoughtfully marked the location of the Soul Nourishing Wood.

Lin He found the Soul-Singing Pearl inside his body, and also found the Soul-Crying Beast in the Spirit Beast Bag.

In addition, there are various magical treasures, magical artifacts, talismans, a large number of pills, a large amount of spirit stones, and top-level cultivation techniques such as the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique.

Lin He finally understood. In the original story, Yuan Yao was able to cultivate from the Qi Refining stage to the Core Formation stage in just over a hundred years, which must have been achieved through these things.

They managed to snatch six Heavenly Capital Demon Corpses from Wu Chou, finally completing a total of eighteen.

They seized three treasures from Wen Tianren: the silver bell, the ancient shield, and the Eight Gates Golden Mirror.

Lin He carefully put all these things away. At this moment, a stunningly beautiful woman walked in; it was none other than Nangong Wan, who had just emerged from seclusion.

She couldn't help but glare at him, then sighed and asked, "Did you bring those three women back?"

Lin He looked somewhat embarrassed, then handed over the jade slip containing the secrets of dual cultivation. "Wan'er, this is all for cultivation. Yuan Yao, I plan to have her cultivate the Yin-Yang Harmony Technique after she forms her core, to help me break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage. As for Mei Ning, she has a rare Jade Phoenix Marrow Body. After establishing her foundation, she can generate spiritual energy, which can help people change their meridians and cleanse their marrow, greatly improving their cultivation. The effect is comparable to ancient spiritual pills."

"Spiritual energy?"

Nangong Wan was also taken aback, and then said, "Since you've already brought the person here, what else can I do?"

Lin He put his arm around her slender waist and said, "Wan'er, you've been busy with seclusion all these years, and I've been busy everywhere. Now we finally have time to talk about what's to come."

"What happened next?" Nangong Wan asked curiously.

Lin He thought for a moment and said, "Wan'er, have you ever heard of the number one secret treasure of the Chaotic Star Sea?"
