The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands

Lin Zhengyun's lips moved, as if he wanted to persuade him again.

"No need to say anything more."

Lin Yi reached out and pressed down on the edge of the table. "I'll take the blame for this!"

Looking into those eyes that held no more hesitation, Lin Zhengyun suddenly remembered how he had yielded time and time again over the years, only to be met with the other party's relentless pressure.

He let out a long sigh, the last trace of struggle in his eyes vanishing. "You don't need to lift a finger!"

"Third Uncle will take care of these things."

"Yi'er, go out and make your own way!"

Lin Yi took out a jade slip and gently pushed it over, "Third Uncle, this set of 'Phantom Blade Technique' will be the inheritance token of the Lin family patriarch from now on."

Lin Zhengyun stared at the jade slip, not reaching out for a long time.

He understood.

Lin Yi yearns for a wider world!

……

The matter has been resolved.

As soon as Lin Yi stepped out of the Lin family's gate, he was still enveloped in a lingering murderous aura.

Suddenly, a figure floated over.

It's An Xinyue.

She remained crouched under the shadow of a tree in the distance, watching without offering any assistance.

Because she knew in her heart that Lin Yi had to avenge this wrong!

An Xinyue approached with small, quick steps, a smile playing on her lips. "Husband, you've avenged your great enemy; it's time to celebrate!"

"Today I've prepared some divine wine and delicacies; let's just enjoy them slowly, only the two of us!"

Looking at An Xinyue before him, Lin Yi felt a warmth in his heart. "Alright! Then I'll listen to Senior Sister Xinyue!"

After returning to the Dan Ding Sect, the relationship between the two underwent a subtle change.

Sometimes when An Xinyue makes eye contact with him, she will suddenly lower her head, her earlobes turning slightly red.

The one who was most heartbroken was naturally Ye Qingwan.

The Ye family is well-informed.

When Lin Yi was ambushed, she sent people out to investigate.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to touch anything.

I heard about some things he did in Biyun City.

Kill Lin Feng, behead Lin Zhenghai, and support Third Uncle Lin Zhengyun to take the throne...

She slammed the teacup on the table, and it rolled all over the floor.

Is this still the good-for-nothing Lin Yi she knew?

……

At this moment, Lin Yi was holed up in his cave, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, putting all his effort into reaching the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

As long as it succeeds.

Then you can sign up for the sect's assessment, shed the "furnace cauldron" label, and become a formal disciple of the Pill Cauldron Sect!

The results of it?

He overestimated himself and underestimated that damned ninth-grade useless spiritual root.

He swallowed all the hundreds of bottles of pills that Ye Qingwan, An Xinyue, and Tao Mengdie had given him!

Cultivation level?

Not moving.

I'm stuck at the late stage of the ninth level of Qi Refining, as if I'm welded there.

Even worse was the backlash from the poison, which made his spiritual energy feel like a pipe clogged with glue.

"We're doomed!"

Lin Yi cursed inwardly, frantically pulled out the second-grade Qingling Pill given to him by Tao Mengdie, and swallowed it in one gulp.

The pill dissolved instantly, and all the filth squeezed out of the pores.

His sweat was black, and he looked like a salted fish pulled out of a stinking ditch.

"I'll never take medicine indiscriminately again!"

Lin Yi looked at his body covered in oil and mud, and trembled with fear.

The pile of empty jade bottles on the ground, like a small mountain, stung his eyes.

"Is it over? Am I really going to be stuck in this Qi Refining stage?"

He knows better than anyone else.

Want to turn things around?

There is only one path: Foundation Building!

Only by successfully establishing a foundation can one acquire more resources.

The Dan Ding Sect is very strict about recruiting people.

The minimum requirement for the outer sect is having two spiritual roots.

His ninth-grade useless spiritual root?

People would consider it bad luck if they even glanced at it.

Even though he possessed a spiritual spring space, the spiritual energy inside was so thick that he could scoop it up and drink it.

But his spiritual root was like an old lock core covered in rust.

No matter how vast the ocean of spiritual energy is outside, it only leaks in a drop or two.

"Is there really no other way?"

Another thought popped into my head: drink another drop of the spiritual spring water!

But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, he suddenly shuddered.

Last time it was pure luck; the Spirit Spring Space automatically protected its owner and saved his life.

What if there's no response this time?

It exploded into a bloody mist on the spot!

Frustrated, he ruffled his hair, his gaze sweeping over the empty bottles on the floor...

Suddenly, his eyes widened and he stopped breathing!

"Empty bottle...water...diluted?!"

Lin Yi clenched his fist, his heart pounding. "Yeah! Am I stupid?! If I'm afraid to drink the original brew, can't I at least dilute it with water?"

"Once the medication's effects are suppressed, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Hahaha! Absolutely brilliant! I'm a real genius!"

He hummed a tuneless little tune, rummaged through cabinets and drawers, and brought out all the bottles and jars, getting to work immediately!

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and the table in the cave was neatly arranged with cups, small jars, and bamboo tubes.

He tested 99% of the morning dew water and added a drop of spiritual spring water.

The pale green at the bottom of the cup was almost invisible.

His hands were still shaking. "This thing is too eerie... I survived last time only because my ancestors' graves were emitting auspicious smoke."

But the thought of that damned ninth-grade useless spiritual root made him grit his teeth. "I'll risk it! Even if I die, it's better than rotting in the Qi Refining stage!"

Tilte your head back and gulp it down!

"boom……!"

Even if diluted a hundredfold, the impact of that spiritual energy entering the meridians is still like a herd of wild buffalo galloping by!

"Pour it on!"

Lin Yi gritted his teeth, guarded his mind, and used his brute force to slam into the bottleneck!

"Snap!"

The barrier has collapsed!

A spiritual power several times stronger than before surged through his entire body!

Peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining... Success!

Feeling the surging spiritual power within his body, as strong as a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, Lin Yi almost let out a roar that shook the cave ceiling!

"It's done!"

After calming down and giving it a try, Lin Yi was overjoyed.

The spiritual energy refined from this spiritual spring water is completely pure and does not harm the meridians!

Thinking back... even a master alchemist like Tao Mengdie couldn't avoid the toxicity of pills.

A surge of heat rose in his chest. "It's time to properly learn how to refine pills!"

Lin Yi immediately took out the alchemy notes and alchemy furnace that Tao Mengdie had given him, and squatted down to start working on them.

"First, start a fire, then stabilize the temperature... force out the medicinal properties... finally, extinguish the fire to form the elixir."

After flipping through the notes, Lin Yi's lips twitched. "Isn't this just a cultivation-style cooking game? Heat the wok, heat the oil, toss the pan, reduce the sauce, and plate it!"

The more I look at it, the simpler it seems.

He didn't care about anything else and just did it.

The Spirit Gathering Grass in the Spirit Spring Space has long since grown into a century-old medicine.

He lit the alchemical fire and threw the medicinal herbs into the furnace.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The alchemy furnace hummed and vibrated, releasing a sweet fragrance.

Lifting the lid, ten round Qi-gathering pills lay at the bottom of the furnace.

Moreover, each one has a few wisps of cloud patterns floating on its surface!

"It worked in one go? Cloud-like patterns? Over 90% purity?!"

Lin Yi was completely bewildered. "Could it be that my talent lies in alchemy?"

After the initial euphoria, he quickly calmed down.

"I'm now considered a first-tier alchemist, but I absolutely cannot let this slip!"

"This ninth-grade useless spiritual root is my life-saving charm!"

Lin Yi hid the pills carefully, but he couldn't suppress a smile.

next second.

He turned his palm over and produced two pills the size of longan.

Foundation Building Pill!

A single pill can affect the lifeline of an entire family!

But Lin Yi's face fell as he stared at the two treasures.

"Others can establish their foundation after eating just one pill, but with my ninth-grade useless spiritual root? I'd be lucky to even swallow a whole sack!"

He spat out his frustration.

Foundation Establishment is hopeless?

Then let's solidify our strength at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining and strive to reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining as soon as possible.

He threw himself into alchemy, talisman drawing, boxing practice, and sword wielding, honing his skills to the point of exhaustion.

These are the things that give him the confidence to survive.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, the cave's protective barrier rang softly, and An Xinyue's voice came through.

"Husband~ The outer sect assessment starts tomorrow, don't oversleep."

Lin Yi opened the door, and An Xinyue stood outside in a fairy dress, her eyes and brows radiating a gentle warmth.

Lin Yi stared in disbelief.

Since the incident with the Lin family, the two have become much closer.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms.

An Xinyue leaned against his chest. "Husband, are you confident about the assessment tomorrow?"

Lin Yi smiled and looked down. "It was uncertain before, but now... it's a sure thing."

After saying that, he half-carried and half-dragged her into the cave.

The door closed.

The air felt a bit warmer.

This time it wasn't about practicing martial arts, but about hearts touching, truly intertwined.

But just as their feelings for each other were at their peak...

"Lin Yi!"

Standing outside the door was none other than Ye Qingwan.

She clearly hadn't expected to witness such a scene.

Sensing the ambiguous atmosphere swirling in the room, she froze on the spot.

Shock, pain, grievance... all rushed to my head at once.

"Lin Yi... I've brought you some pills."

Lin Yi opened the barrier.

In an instant, the air seemed to freeze.

For the first time, the two great fairies of the Dan Ding Sect appeared in a small house at the same time.

One nestled in his arms, her eyes sparkling.

One stood three steps away, tears glistening in his eyes.

However, Lin Yi neither pushed An Xinyue away nor tried to coax Ye Qingwan. He simply raised his eyes and smiled, "Oh, so the Holy Maiden made a personal trip?"

Ye Qingwan bit her lower lip lightly, "Couldn't you... at least try to avoid people around?"

Lin Yi stood up and walked over, lifting her chin with two fingers. "Haven't seen you for a few days, Your Highness has lost weight? Could it be that you've been missing me?"

An Xinyue, standing beside her, curled her fingers but said nothing.

She knew clearly that Lin Yi didn't belong to anyone.

If you hold on too tightly, it will slip away sooner or later!

Ye Qingwan's cheeks flushed, and the look in his eyes that night flashed through her mind... Her body went limp.

"I'm leaving...you guys continue!"

She turned to run away.

Lin Yi stepped in to stop her, "Don't panic~ The Holy Maiden's aura has been weak lately, do you want me to help you stabilize it?"

"Need not!"

Ye Qingwan didn't look back and ran away.

Watching her disheveled figure, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.

An Xinyue slowly said, "Husband, you are now her inner demon."

"From now on, she probably won't be able to have room for anyone else in her heart."

"She and I both have special constitutions... She has the Profound Yin Jade Marrow Constitution, and I have the Azure Phoenix Immortal Phoenix Constitution."

"Your cultivation will increase rapidly if you cultivate with us!"

"But your ninth-grade spiritual root is too difficult to cultivate... If you really want to break through, you need to cultivate with her."

"I won't stop you."

"ha?!"

Lin Yi froze on the spot.

Holy crap?

How charming am I?

What could possibly make the proud An Xinyue not mind this kind of thing?!

Lin Yi stared at her blankly for a long while, then shook his head and chuckled, "You woman... your heart is wider than the Milky Way!"
