I, a centenarian, sweep through the gates of immortality.

Lin Feng quickly grabbed the storage bag and sensed that it was his companion jade pendant reacting again.

Considering that this place was close to the crowd at Xuanqing Temple, Lin Feng did not dare to take it out to look at it even though the jade pendant reacted.

Once he was out of sight of the other party, Lin Feng pretended to rest by a tree. After confirming that no one was around, he quietly opened his storage bag.

Before Lin Feng could even take out the jade pendant, the changes in the storage bag left him completely dumbfounded.

The jade pendant was flashing red light.

However, all the pills he had painstakingly collected had lost their luster and their fragrance.

It was as if the storage bag contained not pills, but some dark radish balls.

"What?! Where's the medicine?!"

Lin Feng grabbed all the waste medicines and looked at the once smooth pills that had become rough and dull, completely losing their efficacy. Lin Feng's heart was bleeding.

The sword spirit within the jade pendant was about to be completely absorbed, and Lin Feng planned to use these pills to prolong the process.

Now look what happened, the elixir has turned into radish dumplings.

Lin Feng looked dejected, and felt like hanging himself.

The matter of merging sects remains unresolved.

Enemies were relentlessly pursuing them.

With their last resort, the elixir, gone, aren't they being driven to a dead end?

Lin Feng rubbed his withered hands against his sorrowful old face, his mood plummeting to its lowest point.

However, at that moment, a faint wisp of white smoke suddenly rose from a desolate grave not far from Lin Feng, and then dissipated in an instant.

Lin Feng didn't notice at first, until the jade pendant in the storage bag suddenly started to flash. Only then did Lin Feng feel an extremely gloomy power coming and drilling straight into the jade pendant.

For a moment, Lin Feng couldn't even tell where this power came from, or whether it was absorbed by the jade pendant or projected onto him by himself.

However, since the jade pendant had reacted, Lin Feng naturally wanted to check it out.

He looked around for a moment to make sure no one had noticed him before taking the jade pendant out of his storage bag and examining it closely. To his surprise, he discovered that three forces had somehow become intertwined within the jade pendant.

There are remnants of the broken sword spirits that Lin Feng absorbed in the sword-making room.

There's also a medicinal effect.

Lin Feng looked down at the pill residue in the storage bag and suddenly realized.

It turns out that the spiritual power of the elixir was absorbed by the jade pendant.

"I see!"

"This jade pendant can absorb not only sword spirits, but also the medicinal power of pills."

"magic!"

Lin Feng's gaze then focused on the third force within the jade pendant.

This power was dark, gloomy, and even had a hint of eeriness.

It doesn't seem like any righteous spiritual power; rather, it seems like the evil spirit of some heretical cultivator.

"The disciples of Xuanqing Temple, carrying compasses, have been searching among the surrounding abandoned graves. Could this be the power they're looking for?"

"No wonder!"

"This evil spirit is worth many broken sword spirits, but I don't know if I can absorb its power?"

"We need to go back and try it as soon as possible."

Lin Feng hurriedly put the jade pendant away, looked around for a moment, and after confirming that he hadn't been discovered, quickly made his escape.

Meanwhile, the people from Xuanqing Temple, holding compasses, wandered back and forth in the fields, their faces full of anxiety, yet they found nothing.

The disciples in charge of the search couldn't help but complain.

"Senior brother, is there something wrong with this compass?"

"Two days ago, it was shown that a ghost had taken shape in this place, but we've been searching for days and still can't pinpoint its location."

"Since yesterday, this damned compass has not only been inaccurate in its location, but it's even been falsely reporting the presence of treasures! It's showing that there are priceless treasures nearby!"

"What a joke! We haven't seen a single hair!"

"Look, it was showing a ghost taking shape just now, but now it's all gone. This compass is definitely broken! Senior brother, let's report this to our superiors as soon as possible. There's no point in wasting any more time here."

The leading disciple, the young cultivator who had just pointed his sword at Lin Feng, was now looking at each other in bewilderment.

Searching for the evil spirit here is an important task assigned by our sect.

However, after searching for many days, they found nothing.

They have always been dedicated and dared not slack off in the slightest. The only thing that is not quite right is this compass.

This compass was given to me by my master, so it shouldn't have any problems.

But the compass's reaction...

Left with no other choice, he put the compass away. Then he addressed his fellow disciples.

"You stay here and guard this place. I'm going back to find my master."

"Remember, we haven't taken Chongyang Valley and Qingfeng Valley yet, so we must not alert them."

Without further hesitation, the young disciple flew away, heading south.

After returning to the villager's house where he was staying, Lin Feng immediately locked himself in his room.

Taking out the jade pendant, Lin Feng carefully activated his spiritual energy and slowly wrapped it up.

This jade pendant was originally Lin Feng's personal possession; he could control it at will with a single thought.

However, Lin Feng still took precautions to isolate himself, only making a small opening between himself and the jade pendant.

Because he is not sure whether the evil spirits absorbed by the jade pendant can be used for his own purposes.

To be on the safe side, Lin Feng cautiously absorbed only a tiny amount.

"call!"

Lin Feng sat cross-legged, his hands forming a mudra, mobilizing his own spiritual energy while guiding the evil spirit into his meridians.

"Huh? There's no rejection."

When spiritual energy with completely different attributes enters the same person's body, it often produces a very strong rejection reaction.

However, after Lin Feng absorbed this evil spirit, it actually merged into Lin Feng's meridian circulation very naturally. Not only did it not reject him at all, but after circulating for a few rounds, this pure spiritual energy even brought a significant boost to Lin Feng's cultivation level.

"The sword spirits I absorbed before were, after all, remnants of broken swords, and not pure enough. But this evil spirit is different; it is incredibly pure. This little bit of evil spirit is probably equivalent to several sword spirits."

Holding the jade pendant in his hand again, Lin Feng was overjoyed to see the large number of evil spirits still remaining inside.

"There's hope again."

"After absorbing all the remnants of those broken swords and their spirits, absorbing this evil spirit might allow me to break through to a higher realm!"

The frustration in his heart was completely dispelled. At this moment, Lin Feng was full of energy and no longer held back. He even greedily guided all the remnants of the broken sword into his body.

Lin Feng could clearly feel that his meridians were being nourished by the spiritual sea, and his heart and spirit were greedily absorbing and nourishing his body, which was as withered as a tree.

The joy of rain after a long drought gave him the illusion that time was flowing backward.

His cultivation level was rapidly improving, and he was also getting younger.

There were no mirrors in the room, so Lin Feng couldn't tell how many years younger he had become, but he could clearly sense the increase in his cultivation level.

After absorbing all the remnants of these broken swords, Lin Feng's cultivation level rose by two more ranks.

Qi Refining Level 6!
