After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

"Splash—!!!"

The roar of the exploding pool water still echoed in the valley when a figure in a green robe broke through the waves and soared straight into the sky!

Sunlight streamed down, water droplets splashed, and shimmering gold light reflected off the figure.

Lin Fengmian stood in the void, his clothes fluttering in the wind. His long hair was slightly damp from the moisture, clinging to his forehead and shoulders, but he did not look disheveled at all. Instead, it added a touch of unruly wildness to his appearance.

His blue robe was already soaked through by the pool water; the thin fabric clung to his body, perfectly outlining his physique.

With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, a thick chest, and smooth, sharp muscle lines, every inch of him exudes astonishing explosive power.

Water droplets slid down her collarbone and flowed slowly down the grooves of her abdominal muscles, glistening in the sunlight.

But what's most striking is his face.

His sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards towards his temples, his starry eyes were deep and unfathomable, his nose was high and straight, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, with a faint smile playing at the corners.

His already exceptionally handsome face now shimmered with a faint jade-like luster due to the successful completion of his Core Formation and the infusion of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to cleanse his marrow.

It made him look like a celestial being descended to earth, exuding a refined and otherworldly aura while also possessing a captivating masculine strength.

What truly stirred the hearts of all the female cultivators present was—

An extremely pure yang energy was unknowingly emanating from his body!

The aura was warm and mellow, like the warm spring sun, carrying a kind of magic that made people want to get closer and immerse themselves in it.

Lin Fengmian did not intentionally release it; in fact, he was subconsciously restraining it. However, the pure yang energy still spread slowly in all directions like an invisible ripple.

Wherever it passed—

"ah……"

A female cultivator who was observing suddenly blushed and unconsciously squeezed her legs together.

"He...he's so handsome..."

Another female cultivator covered her burning cheeks, her voice trembling.

"Why...why do my legs feel a little weak..."

"Me too! My heart is racing!"

In an instant, the women watching all had rosy cheeks, their eyes sparkling with spring-like charm, and their gazes toward Lin Fengmian seemed to want to devour him whole.

"Brother Fengmian... he's so handsome..."

At the front of the crowd, Princess Yan Yiyi tilted her head back, her long eyelashes fluttering, and her big eyes filled with sparkling little stars.

She cupped her cheeks in her two little hands, her rosy cheeks filled with innocent and pure joy.

Not far behind her, Xiao Xiyue's reaction was much more complicated.

She stood in the crowd, her beautiful eyes fixed on the figure in the void.

His gaze slid over his slightly damp, dark hair, across the faintly visible lines of his chest, and finally settled on his face, which carried a languid smile.

She subconsciously bit her lower lip, her tongue gently licking her lips.

A fleeting, dreamy look, which she herself was unaware of, flashed in her eyes.

Her fingertips unconsciously twisted her sleeves, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

Tonight... I must go see him...

The thought uncontrollably surfaced in Xiao Xiyue's mind, and she was completely unaware that her cheeks were burning hot.

Let's have a proper discussion about our experiences in forming the Golden Core... Yes, just a discussion about our experiences...

She comforted herself in this way, but her heart was already fluttering with desire.

Not far from her, Chu Qingyi looked at Lin Fengmian's figure and then at the reactions of the female cultivators around her, a complex look flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She knew better than anyone the extent to which Lin Fengmian's Pure Yang Holy Body would awaken after he formed his core.

The yang energy in his body was more than ten times stronger than before!

This would be fatally attractive to any female cultivator. For her, a woman who had once cultivated with him, it was like a cat smelling fish—utterly irresistible.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the surging impulse within her, and tried her best to maintain a cool and aloof demeanor.

But the hands that were tightly gripping her sleeves betrayed the turmoil in her heart.

Not far behind her, Honglian was also gently biting her lip, her eyes sparkling with alluring charm.

Looking at Lin Fengmian was like looking at an extremely delicious piece of meat; they wished they could take him back to their cave and enjoy him right now.

This little devil... he's getting more and more alluring...

On the other side, the captains and elders of the various sects all had solemn expressions.

As they gazed at the figure bathed in golden light in the void, a murderous glint flashed in their eyes simultaneously.

"This child... even caused a dragon and a phoenix phantom to appear when he formed his core... Such talent is simply unheard of!"

"Wu Ling is utterly useless, yet he's managed to reach this level... He must possess some extraordinary fortuitous opportunity!"

"This child must not be allowed to live! If we let him grow unchecked, even top-tier sects like the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect might be in danger of being surpassed by him!"

The elders exchanged glances, their eyes surging with murderous intent.

But at this moment, Chu Qingyi was guarding below, and with a Nascent Soul level old monster sitting there, no one dared to make any rash moves.

They could only suppress their murderous intent and secretly plot how to nip this person in the bud.

In the void, Lin Fengmian lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze sweeping over the women with peach-blossom faces below, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

Why are they all staring at me like hungry wolves?

He's not some piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh!

It wasn't until he felt the pure yang energy almost overflowing from his body that he finally realized the truth.

"So that's how it is... Did the Pure Yang Sacred Body awaken after forming its core?"

He secretly sensed it and found that his pure yang energy was many times stronger than before. Even if he tried to suppress it, he could not completely suppress the energy.

"Could it be that my golden core is too special, with its yin and yang in harmony, thus stimulating the potential of my pure yang body?"

He recalled his own Heavenly Dao Golden Core, which shimmered with yin and yang colors and was entwined with the phantoms of dragons and phoenixes, and immediately felt that this guess was almost certainly correct.

"Tsk tsk, this Golden Core... it seems rather illegitimate."

Lin Fengmian's lips twitched slightly, and he secretly shook his head.

But now is not the time to think about these things. He decided to wait until he got back and find an opportunity to ask the mysterious woman deep inside the jade pendant.

Just then—

"Congratulations, young friend Lin, on successfully forming your Core!"

A hearty laugh brought him back to reality.

The Prince of Zhennan strode forward, his face beaming, and cupped his hands in greeting, saying:

"Hahaha! Young friend, such extraordinary phenomena are unheard of in my hundreds of years of cultivation! It seems you have achieved the first grade of elixir cultivation, or even higher! If you have the time, you must visit my Zhennan Prince's Mansion! I will certainly treat you with the utmost respect!"

He spoke with heartfelt sincerity, his gaze towards Lin Fengmian filled with fervor.

Upon hearing her father's words, Yan Yiyi jumped up with joy and quickly echoed:
