Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

He Qianqian stared at Lin Sheng's sleeping face and murmured, "Can't he take better care of himself?"

"I got all injured."

She quietly sat on the edge of the bed, gently wiped away her sweat, and just quietly looked at Lin Sheng, her heartache growing stronger in her eyes.

Several times she wanted to reach out and touch the person's face, but she managed to restrain herself each time.

Finally, she gently placed her hand on Lin Sheng's body, and after learning about his physical condition, she stood up.

She closed her eyes and held her breath, extending her index finger, from which a wisp of pink aura emanated and swirled.

Opening her eyes, a hint of weariness flashed in them. She said, "The security at this inn is really tight. It took a lot of effort to sneak in."

The slender fingers, carrying a wisp of pink fragrance, were gently pressed against Lin Sheng's mouth, and Lin Sheng unconsciously inhaled it with each breath.

With the help of this pink aura, Lin Sheng's breathing became more stable, and even his expression became more relaxed than before.

He Qianqian let out a breath, relieving her fatigue.

She looked at Lin Sheng, who was showing signs of improvement, and smiled sweetly.

Now that her wish has been fulfilled, and knowing that staying any longer would risk exposure, she decided to leave.

But just before leaving, she returned, squatted by the bed, and whispered in Lin Sheng's ear, "Remember, a girl named He Qianqian helped you today."

Having finished having her fun, He Qianqian's eyes curved like a silver moon, filled with secret joy.

Then the figure drifted away and disappeared again.

When she got back to her place, He Qianqian plopped down and gently fanned herself with her small hand. Although she was tired, she felt the trip was worthwhile.

Just then, a figure appeared beside her and asked, "Lady Weixin, where did you go just now?"

He Qianqian remained calm and said indifferently, "The weather was nice, so I just went out for a walk."

"It's a bit hot, Aunt Nan, do you have any tea?"

The woman called Aunt Nan brought over a pot of brewed tea and poured it for her. He Qianqian picked it up and drank it with satisfaction.

After He Qianqian finished her tea, Aunt Nan asked, "Sir, have you found the person whose destiny was described by Lord Long in his divination?"

No, absolutely not.

Aunt Nan nodded: "That's good. If you find it, please dispose of it as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, if this drags on, you will only sink deeper and deeper, which will be detrimental to you in every way, Lord Weixin."

He Qianqian glanced at Aunt Nan, bit her lip lightly, and asked, "If we find it... is it really necessary to do that?"

Aunt Nan immediately became serious, her tone somewhat reprimanding, and said sternly and earnestly, "That's for sure!"

"Our Weixinfang has always been like this. If we weren't, how could we surpass the other two neighborhoods, how could we become the future Holy Maiden of the sect, and thus lead the many believers throughout the world!"

Seeing that He Qianqian had stopped speaking, Aunt Nan realized that what she had said was a bit too harsh on the sixteen-year-old girl in front of her, so she lowered her voice and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Weixin, you are the representative of my Weixin Workshop, and we will do our best to help you achieve your goal."

"Lord Long also hopes for the same thing, otherwise why would she stand on our side?"

After a moment, He Qianqian said, "Okay, I understand."

Just as Aunt Nan was about to say something more, she suddenly noticed He Qianqian's condition and immediately asked, "Lord Weixin, why is your power somewhat depleted?"

She asked alertly, "Has it been attacked by thieves?"

He Qianqian shook her head: "No, I was just using magic for fun when I had nothing to do outside. It's nothing serious."

"Okay, I'm tired, I want to rest."

"Yes, I won't bother you any longer."

Just as Aunt Nan was about to leave, He Qianqian called out to her.

"You asked me before when I was leaving... If nothing unexpected happens, I'll stay a little longer."

"We'll leave sometime after this period of time."

"Yes, I will inform everyone at Weixin Workshop at that time."

After giving her instructions, Aunt Nan left without bothering He Qianqian any longer.

He Qianqian lay on the bed, covered herself with the quilt, wrapped herself tightly, and let herself fall asleep.

........

The next day, Wang Heng came to Lin Sheng's ward, took his pulse, and looked at him with a surprised expression.

"What kind of recovery technique does Lin Su possess?"

Lin Sheng shook his head: "No."

"So you ate something strange?"

Lin Sheng really wanted to say that the strange food was what you had been giving him recently, but he held back and simply replied no.

Wang Heng's doubts deepened; he was somewhat incredulous.

He said to Lin Sheng, "Fellow Daoist Lin's health has recovered very well, even better than I expected."

If you're only eating what I give you, I'll really suspect that someone else is secretly treating you besides me.

"How could that be? I don't know any other cultivators who are skilled in pharmacology besides you."

No one would treat a complete stranger for free.

Wang Heng felt that Lin Sheng's words made a lot of sense, but even if they made sense, they couldn't explain the current situation.

But a good recovery is always a good thing. After examining Lin Sheng's body again and confirming that he was in good condition, he had no choice but to give up on thinking about it.

"The good foundation laid during the Lin Su adoption period may have contributed to the current success. Now that Lin Su's condition has begun to recover, I need to modify the next treatment steps."

As he spoke, he waved his hand in the air, and the silver needles inserted into Lin Sheng's body fell into his hand.

Then he took out a small square box and handed it to Lin Sheng, saying, "This is what cultivator Li Zhenyu asked me to give to you, Lin Sheng, as payment for this rescue."

"What? There's a reward too?"

This was completely unexpected by Lin Sheng; he had never imagined that Li Zhenyu would give him a reward.

Considering the strength of the other party's punch, he felt it was already good enough that the other party hadn't come to argue about compensation with the camp.

Even if the attack did not occur within the camp but during transport, the camp could still bear some responsibility for its negligence due to the mission's failure.

"I cannot accept this. In fact, we did not complete our mission this time. I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Wang to help me return it to Fellow Daoist Li."

"He left with the transport team this morning, and it was this morning that he gave me this item to pass on to you."

"So fast? He's fully recovered?"

Hearing Lin Sheng's surprise, Wang Heng said after a long while, "Please do not underestimate body cultivators in the Pure Blood Realm, Lin Sheng."

Wang Heng emphasized the importance of the Pure Blood Realm and Body Cultivation.

"......good."

"This is a Rain-Gathering Pill, with a gentle and long-lasting effect, which is very suitable for the recovery of damaged internal organs."

"Originally, Lin Suling's body was stagnant with medicinal effects, making it unsuitable for him to take pills anymore. However, after the examination, we found that many of the blockages in your body have been cleared, so you can take them now."

Since that was the case, Lin Sheng took the pill and put it in his mouth.

After swallowing, you feel a warm sensation in your body, like honey melting inside you.

"Lin Suling, you should rest well from now on. Given your condition, the effects of the Rain-Gathering Pill should last for about a week. During this time, you can practice your skills appropriately."

"But don't exert yourself too much. I will adjust your diet again."

After Wang Heng finished doing these things, he left.

Lin Sheng felt his body and clearly sensed that his internal organs were gradually becoming active again.

However, he always felt a sense of deficiency in his body that could not be replenished, and he knew that this was due to damage to his foundation.

Helpless, Lin Sheng could only place his hopes on his master, Su Ren.

At the same time, he also sensed the Cave Mystery Furnace and hoped that Zhen Yuan could also help him in repairing his foundation.

Just as he was pondering, Zhao Fengnian came to visit Lin Sheng.

Seeing that the other party had no injuries on his face, Lin Sheng thought of what Wang Heng had just said and sighed inwardly that he was indeed a body cultivator and did not look injured at all.

"I really envy Fellow Daoist Zhao; he's already recovered."

Zhao Fengnian laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Ruolin also cultivates the body-refining path; he might be running around everywhere right now."

"You have considerable talent. If you're interested in learning, I can give you some advice."

After this battle, Zhao Fengnian had a very good impression of Lin Sheng. He thought highly of the young man in terms of his strength, methods, and character.

He changed his impression; before this, he had always thought that Lin Sheng was just like the other Taoist priests who came to take up temporary posts.

"I don't have any plans for body tempering at the moment."

Lin Sheng suddenly realized something and said, "However, there is indeed something I would like to ask you, Fellow Daoist Zhao."

"Sure, feel free to speak."

Lin Sheng took out the white jade token that Ma Zhaoshan had given him earlier and said, "This is the token that Ma Sucheng gave me, which allows me to receive cultivation techniques, as compensation for my extra actions this time."

"However, there are many techniques inside, and I am unable to contact my master for the time being. Fellow Daoist Zhao, you have been staying here for many years and must be very knowledgeable. If possible, I would like to ask you to give me some advice."

"That's no problem. I've used this token before, so I know roughly what cultivation techniques are stored in the camp."

He took the token and added, "I heard from your senior brother that Liuyun Pavilion seems to have follow-up treatment methods for you. May I use this as a starting point?"

"OK."

"Okay." After saying that, Zhao Fengnian closed his eyes and sensed the contents of the token.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and handed the token to Lin Sheng.

"What are your thoughts, Fellow Daoist Zhao?"

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Fengnian said, "Let me get straight to the point. In my opinion, Lin Suling is currently best suited to choose a body-refining technique."

"Body tempering?"

Lin Sheng wondered why they had returned to the body-refining direction.

"Yes."

Seeing Lin Sheng's confusion, Zhao Fengnian explained, "My idea is based on two considerations."

"Firstly, Lin Su, your combat skills need to be improved. In this battle, I observed that you had good methods of dodging and attacking, but your defense and recovery were lacking."

"While recovery can be achieved with medicine, cultivating a body-refining technique can simultaneously supplement both defense and recovery, which will greatly benefit your future battles."

"Secondly, I saw a special technique recorded on the token. It must have been placed here by the Martial Virtue Department for people with exceptional talent to practice. It is called the Dragon Tiger Inner Breath Technique."

"Dragon and Tiger Internal Breathing Technique?"

"Yes, I have heard of this technique. It originated from the Daoist sect and was obtained by the Martial Virtue Division after they wiped out a disciple who had fallen into demonic possession. It cultivates the power of dragon and tiger, which has three levels. Although the technique is also used by disciples of the Pure Blood Realm, those who cultivate it to perfection have the opportunity to cultivate dragon tendons and tiger bones in their bodies."

"If one possesses such a physique, it will undoubtedly enhance the foundation for future breakthroughs to higher realms."

"Of course, this does not mean that practicing this technique will actually grant the power of a dragon and tiger. Such power is not something that someone in the Pure Blood Realm can acquire. However, the fact that it is named after a dragon and tiger speaks volumes about its effectiveness."

"It will not only greatly enhance physical strength, but also improve one's own recovery ability. After all, whether it is a dragon or a tiger, life is very tenacious."

"This cultivation method wasn't available when I received it, otherwise I would have chosen it too. Although it's a bit difficult to cultivate, it comes from the Taoist sect and doesn't have as many restrictions."

Hearing Zhao Fengnian say this, Lin Sheng became more interested and asked, "Then what did you choose, Fellow Daoist Zhao?"

"The one I chose is the one you saw during the previous battle, the one with a hammer on its back and two arms, called the 'Mara Treasure Sutra,' which comes from Buddhism and Taoism."

"It's not bad to reach perfection in cultivation, but the problem is that Buddhism and Taoism are not as tolerant of other schools practicing their own methods as Taoism is."

"As soon as those monks saw me use this move, they would start nagging about testing my qualifications, wanting to examine the Buddha's character, and so on. They always found a reason to challenge me."

"Ugh, this is so troublesome."

"Therefore, Fellow Daoist Lin, I recommend you choose the 'Dragon Tiger Internal Breathing Technique'. It should not conflict with your subsequent treatment. Just avoid Buddhist and Taoist methods."

"Alright, thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Zhao."

Lin Sheng noted it down, planning to confirm with his master later whether this cultivation method was suitable. If it was suitable and there was no better option, then he would practice this method.

After all, an outsider's perspective is often clearer. Only after Zhao Fengnian pointed it out did Lin Sheng realize his shortcomings in the battle.

......

Jintang Martial Arts Academy.

In the quiet room, Jin Feiyang, the owner of Jintang, sat quietly, surrounded by lights.

Suddenly the lights flickered.

He opened his eyes and looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in the room.

The visitor presented the scroll with both hands, knelt down and said, "Master, we have investigated the matter of the Peach Garden Inn thoroughly."

"Lu Qianchui and Hu Bing did indeed participate in this operation. They secretly conspired with one of the Shuang Shizi members, which led to the subsequent incident."

"The two did complete their mission, but I was incompetent and failed to find any trace of them at the scene, not even the people of Frostwet."

Jin Feiyang took the scroll, his eyes filled with interest.

"Do you think it's possible that Shuangshizi knew about my plans with Feiyan and deliberately set this up?"

"I am unaware of the facts, and dare not speculate!"

"Hehe, interesting."

boom!

The scroll containing the investigation's contents was reduced to fragments and vanished in the flames.

"Since we can't find it, let's stop looking. The mission is accomplished, isn't it?"

"As long as it doesn't affect the upcoming arrangements, the death of two Pure Blood Realm cultivators is nothing."

"Yes."

"Keep an eye on Shuang Shizi for now, but don't expose her, and definitely don't jeopardize the relationship."

"Yes."

"Go and invite Fei Yan's friend here. I want to have a good talk with him."

"I'll take care of it right away."

A sudden gust of wind blew up inside, and in the blink of an eye, Jin Feiyang was all alone.

A wooden box appeared out of thin air in his hand. He placed it on the table and opened it. In the firelight, two bright red blood beads were clearly visible inside.

He picked one up and examined it closely. He could faintly hear the lingering roars of demons within it, indicating that it was full of energy.

"I was just about to go to sleep when a pillow was handed to me. Is there really such a coincidence?"

"Frosty Girl, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Under the light, the blood droplets shimmered, making Jin Feiyang's smile even more pronounced.
