In the Southern Courtyard of the Gui Yuan Sect, other than the pavilions in the basin, there were also pavilions in the southern mountain range. Especially at the top of the mountain range, in a forest that was red all year round, there was a red pavilion with many dancing phoenixes carved on it. It looked very beautiful.
Lu Yanfei liked red, and almost everyone in the Origin Sect knew this. Not only was the place she lived in red, but even her clothes were red. Lu Yanfei had a soft spot for red.
At this moment, Lu Yanfei was wearing a red dress and her hair was scattered. She was calmly sitting there, but her face was slightly pale. There was still a trace of sadness that couldn't dissipate in her eyes.
This caused her to reveal her beauty but also a hint of pitifulness.
However, even her three senior brothers weren't qualified to appreciate her beauty, because their cultivation levels were one rank lower than Lu Yanfei's.
Lu Yanfei, who was at the peak of the late stage of Nirvana Scryer, was the number one beauty of the Origin Sect. Her reputation was famous in the rank 5 region, and there were many people who had thoughts about her. However, due to her teacher's peak Nirvana Cleanser cultivation, there had been no direct conflict. However, now that her teacher had died, the entire Origin Sect was at its weakest.
Right now, Lu Yanfei was holding a jade in her hand. This jade was completely purple, and she was mercilessly squeezing it. Even her jade-like hand had turned slightly white.
Her eyes were filled with humiliation, but she could only endure it. She even wanted to crush the jade, but thinking about the consequences, the humiliation became even stronger.
Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to raise her spirits. Facing the three female disciples who were standing respectfully in front of her, she said softly, "Let them in."
Lu Yanfei had only taken three disciples in her life, and all three of them were female. The second disciple, Xu Yun, had the highest cultivation level and was half a step into the Illusory Yin stage.
Although Xu Yun wasn't as beautiful as her teacher, she was still very delicate and had a gentle personality.
Shortly after, four pale-faced youths walked in. Their bodies were trembling, and after entering the room, they didn't even dare to breathe. They lowered their heads and were at a loss.
Lu Yanfei's gaze swept past the four youths and she softly said, "Eldest Brother, Third Brother, each of you take two of them as disciples. These four youths' talent is very ordinary, so whether they can become spirit partner children will depend on their luck in one month. If they can't obtain the approval of the purple eye left by teacher, then send them home."
The two female disciples respectfully nodded and left with the four youths.
Xu Yun softly said, "Teacher, there are three more … They are a bit old …"
Lu Yanfei looked at the purple jade in her hand and mercilessly squeezed it. After pondering for a moment, she shook her head and said, "It's gone. You can take it as your disciple. Teacher still has matters to attend to, so you can leave."
It wasn't until Xu Yun left that Lu Yanfei's eyes became filled with killing intent. After a moment of silence, she shook her head and said, "They are gone. You can take them as disciples. Teacher still has matters to attend to, so you can leave."
It wasn't until Xu Yun left that killing intent appeared in Lu Yanfei's eyes. She looked like a Jade Rakshasa as she squeezed the jade. The humiliation in her eyes was completely replaced by killing intent.
"Rudy, even if I, Lu Yanfei, die, I won't dual cultivate with you!"
There were three people waiting outside the red pavilion. Aside from Wang Lin, there were two youths beside him. One of them had a simple expression and was wearing simple clothes.
The other was very handsome and had a hint of silver in his eyes. He was wearing blue and had a bit of a jade tree aura.
Xu Yun walked out of the pavilion with worry in her heart. She looked at the three of them, and when she saw the youth in blue, she frowned.
"The three of you, stand still. I'll take you back to the sect."
Xu Yun waved her jade-like hand and a cloud appeared. It carried the three of them down from the mountain and toward the southern part of the sect.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at an exquisite courtyard on the edge of the southern courtyard. There were many flowers and plants here, and there were a few houses.
The cloud dissipated and the youth in blue's face turned pale. His body trembled as he sat down on the ground and began to vomit. It was obvious that he had flown too fast. This was his first time flying in the sky, and he was scared out of his wits.
As for the simple youth, his face was pale and his body trembled, but he didn't vomit.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as his gaze fell on the plants in the courtyard. He carefully looked at them one by one.
Xu Yun looked at Wang Lin and her eyes lit up. She was very puzzled by Wang Lin's calmness. When she saw his gaze fall on the herbs, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you recognize them?"
"A part of them." Wang Lin slowly said. He withdrew his gaze and calmly said, "I'm a doctor."
Xu Yun carefully looked at Wang Lin and said, "Since you know some, then you can stay here and take care of these herbs." With that, she slapped her bag of holding and a jade appeared in her hand. After a moment of concentration, she waved it.
She waved her hand and the jade immediately flew into the distance.
When the simple-looking young man saw this cultivator's divine ability, he immediately became excited. Even the blue-robed young man revealed a look of yearning.
Not long after, two rays of sword energy closed in from the distance. They turned into two young cultivators.
"Greetings, master." The two cultivators stood in front of Xu Yun and respectfully said.
"Arrange a place for them to stay and give them the first three layers of the Qi Refining Chant."
After Xu Yun gave the order, she walked into the courtyard and turned around. She pointed at Wang Lin and said, "You, come in."
If this woman turned around and pointed, without the coldness, it would be a bit charming.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he walked into the courtyard. He immediately smelled the fragrance of herbs, and just one breath made him feel refreshed.
Although his expression was calm, he was shocked in his heart. This was because many of the herbs in this courtyard were extinct in the Alliance Star System and even the Luo Tian Star System.
"You will live there from now on."
Xu Yun pointed at the wooden house. She had been observing Wang Lin and felt that the person before her was too calm. This kind of calmness was understandable if it was a cultivator, but this Ceng Niu didn't seem to have any spirit energy at all. This surprised her.
However, she didn't think too much about it. After telling him how to take care of the herbs, she said a few more chants for Qi Refining before ignoring Wang Lin. She walked into the middle of the wooden house and sat down to cultivate.
Right now, she was desperately cultivating. She wanted to quickly reach the Corporeal Yang realm so she could help her master.
When she thought about the purple jade in her master's hand, Xu Yun felt bitter in her heart. She knew that her master's appearance was coveted by many powerful cultivators. Now that her ancestor had died, these people were all ready to make a move.
When she thought about how her three uncle-masters didn't dare to come out, Xu Yun bit her lower lip.
"If I still can't reach the Corporeal Yang realm this time, then I can only take the Soul Parting Death Pill …" Thinking about how terrifying the Soul Parting Death Pill was, Xu Yun took a deep breath. After pondering for a bit, she closed her eyes and began to cultivate. Recently, she could feel that her domain had made a breakthrough and wasn't far from the Corporeal Yang realm.
After Xu Yun left, Wang Lin faintly smiled. He looked at the herbs around him and walked toward his own wooden house. After entering, he found that this wooden house wasn't big. Aside from a bed, there was also a wooden table.
There was an extinguished oil lamp on the table.
He stretched and laid down on the bed. He looked at the roof of the wooden house and revealed a relaxed expression. He hadn't been this relaxed in a long time. Whether it was the North Water Village or where he was right now, he felt a rare sense of relaxation and calmness in his mind.
At his cultivation level, aside from cultivating, the most important thing was to comprehend the mind and laws. While lying here, Wang Lin felt calm, and he vaguely grasped some vague thoughts.
"True and false … Perhaps I'm in between true and false right now …" Wang Lin revealed a smile and slowly closed his eyes.
Not long after, the sky gradually darkened and the room became even darker. Wang Lin slowly opened his eyes. He didn't light the oil lamp but sat down after waking up. His hands formed a seal and he pointed at his body a few times. He let out a mouthful of foul air and his body split into two.
His avatar and original body separated in the wooden house in the southern courtyard of the Origin Returning Sect.
His original body was sitting there with bones below his abdomen. His bones were completely black, and there were faint red lines intersecting within them. If someone else saw this, they would definitely gasp.
His original body looked even more miserable than when he was at the Rosefinch Divine Sect. It seemed like his injuries were even more serious.
In truth, when he left the Rosefinch Divine Sect to save the Azure Dragon Divine Emperor, Wang Lin had already fused with his original body. However, there was a problem with his original body. Even though he fused with his original body, he didn't have much ancient god power left.
"The life of an ancient god is filled with three trials and seven calamities. According to Tu Si's memories, only after reaching six stars will one encounter two calamities of the first trial. I didn't expect the first trial to come early for me … The two calamities of the first trial are the flesh calamity and the bone calamity. They are indeed powerful."
Wang Lin looked at his original body and silently pondered for a bit. His right hand reached out and a crack to his storage space appeared. Fist-sized blood crystals floated out.
These blood crystals gave off a blood light, but they were strangely confined inside the room and didn't spread out at all. Wang Lin looked at these blood crystals and waved his right hand. The blood crystals flew toward his original body and landed on the skeleton. They gradually fused with the lower half of his body.
His original body opened his eyes and sank into the ground. He disappeared from the room and continued to sink into the depths of the continent of Mo Luo. He closed his eyes and began to slowly absorb the aura from the blood crystals.
Wang Lin had searched through Tu Si's memories about the early arrival of the three trials and seven calamities of his original body. His ancient god body wasn't perfect compared to a real ancient god body. If he wanted to pass the first trial, he would need the heart blood of an ancient god.
However, this was only his guess. Wang Lin wasn't sure if his original body could successfully pass the first trial's flesh calamity.
Time passed in silence. The morning sun lit up outside the window and the sound of rain falling entered Wang Lin's ears.
