During the rainy season on the continent of Mo Luo, the morning air was damp. When he opened the window, the rain hit the windowsill and landed on the room. Some even landed on Wang Lin's face.
This rain was very cold, but the cold rain of the morning could make one feel refreshed.
Looking through the window, the rain was hazy. The herbs in the courtyard were much tougher than ordinary flowers and plants, so there was no problem with the rain. The rain flowed down the leaves and into the soil, nourishing the roots of the herbs.
Waves of spiritual energy spread out from the rain. Wang Lin took a deep breath and picked up the umbrella hanging on the side of the room. After opening it, he walked out of the room.
The sound of his footsteps in the mud mixed with the sound of the raindrops landing on the umbrella. This sound entered Wang Lin's ears. Feeling the existence of the origin energy, Wang Lin had a happy expression as he slowly walked forward.
Xu Yun's cultivation hadn't ended. She was still cultivating in the room, trying to break through from the Illusory Yin stage to the Corporeal Yang stage. She didn't notice Wang Lin's departure at all. Even if she wasn't immersed in cultivation, she wouldn't know that Wang Lin had left.
After arriving at the Origin Sect, Wang Lin didn't hide his cultivation. With his identity, hiding his cultivation was beneath him. However, if he didn't use origin energy, no one would be able to tell he was a cultivator. No one would be able to see through his cultivation.
Nirvana Cleanser cultivators fused their origin energy with the world to absorb endless origin energy. As a result, as long as the origin energy in their body didn't move, the surrounding origin energy wouldn't change at all.
If this was it, perhaps Lu Yanfei would have been able to see some clues.
However, Wang Lin had a sliver of source origin in his body, and he had seen the third step from the Heaven Defying Bead. With Celestial Emperor Qing Shuang's help, he felt the third step, so he was no longer an ordinary Nirvana Cleanser cultivator. There was no one on the continent of Mo Luo that could see through his cultivation.
He held an umbrella and wore a white robe as he walked out of the medicinal courtyard. He calmly walked around the Gui Yuan Sect. Along the way, he met a few disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect. However, they came and went in a hurry, so they passed by each other without disturbing each other.
Following the Southern Courtyard, Wang Lin walked up the mountain range. He didn't use any divine abilities, just his fleshly body. He climbed up the mountain steps and walked step by step to the peak.
At the top of the mountain range, the mountain wind was very strong, blowing the rain down. Looking ahead, the dark clouds rolled in the horizon, and there were even bursts of lightning streaking across the sky. The muffled sound of thunder could be heard.
Breathing in the wet air, looking at the magnificent scenery in the distance, feeling the power of the world, Wang Lin's heart was calm. If it weren't for the uninvited guest behind him, he would have enjoyed this feeling.
In a place where no one knew him, in a strange world, alone, tasting the taste of rain.
"Who are you?" A cold voice came from behind him.
Wang Lin's expression was the same as usual. He turned around and saw a woman standing behind him. This woman was dressed in red, like a red cloud. Her black hair spread out, and the black and red contrasted with her pale face, making her look exceptionally beautiful.
This woman was delicate and beautiful, but on this rainy day, in this world where thunder roared, there was a deep sense of loneliness and helplessness.
The faint pitiful expression on her face was clearly seen by Wang Lin.
"My name is Ceng Niu," Wang Lin said calmly.
The woman in red glanced coldly at Wang Lin and frowned. The name Ceng Niu was very unfamiliar to her. If it weren't for the fact that she saw that Wang Lin was only an ordinary person, she would have chased him off the mountain.
"Ceng Niu?"
The woman in red remembered that among the 31 ordinary people she brought back from the north, there seemed to be one named Ceng Niu.
However, the person before her was too calm, and this calmness was definitely not an act.
"Leave this place," the woman said coldly.
She was, after all, a powerful cultivator. Naturally, she would not bicker with a mortal. Even though she was frustrated, she still maintained her calm.
Wang Lin smiled and turned to walk past the woman in red. He followed the mountain path and was about to leave.
The woman in red turned to look at Wang Lin. Wang Lin's calmness surprised her. It had to be known that in the entire Gui Yuan Sect, other than the master in the Sinkhole, any disciple would be extremely nervous and respectful when they saw her.
Even her three senior brothers would be respectful when they met because their cultivation was one level lower than hers.
Not to mention mortals, but the man in front of him was strangely calm.
The woman in red's gaze was like lightning as she stared at Wang Lin's back. It was as if she could see through him. After carefully examining him, she finally determined that the person in front of her was only an ordinary person.
After letting out a sigh, the woman in red softly said, "Wait a minute. Are you willing to listen to me …"
Lu Yanfei's status in the Origin Sect was very high, and if she wanted to talk to people, they would be very respectful. Also, there were some things that she couldn't talk about due to her status.
The young man before her had no cultivation at all and was only a mortal. In Lu Yanfei's eyes, the two of them were like heaven and earth. More importantly, the calmness of the young man seemed to have some kind of infectious power that caused Lu Yanfei's mind to unknowingly calm down.
She just wanted to find someone who could listen to her. At this moment, on this rainy morning, on this mountain, there were only the two of them.
Wang Lin thought for a bit and didn't leave. He stood at the top of the mountain and nodded as he looked at the dark clouds in the distance.
The mountain wind blew by with the rain. Aside from the sound of the wind and rain, everything was calm.
"When I, Shi San, was accepted as a disciple by Teacher and began my path of cultivation …" Lu Yanfei's calm voice was filled with reminiscence as it slowly drifted away into the rain and disappeared with the wind.
"When I reached the Ascendant stage, Teacher didn't hesitate to use a large amount of the sect's herbs and even went to other sects to personally refine a Heaven Deceiving Pill for me so I could reach the Ascendant stage …
"I still remember that year when Teacher took me to hunt in the star fog. It took him three years to finally catch a Six-Eyed Red Fox and it became my life spirit beast …" Lu Yanfei spoke bitterly.
She didn't care if Wang Lin could understand her or not. She didn't even look at Wang Lin. She just looked at the sky as if she was talking to herself.
"Teacher has died. From now on, I will never see him again …" Lu Yanfei muttered a lot.
Wang Lin calmly listened on the side and didn't say a word. Time gradually passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. The rain in the sky gradually lessened until it finally stopped.
The dark clouds in the distance also disappeared. The sky was clear, and a gorgeous rainbow hung in the sky. It was an indescribably beautiful sight.
"The Purple Dao Sect harmed Teacher. After Teacher died, their junior sect master sent me a jade to dual cultivate with him. If I didn't agree, they would take advantage of the fact that the Origin Sect's strength was greatly reduced to report to the main sect and declare war on my Origin Sect … The main sect has always been biased. If the Purple Dao Sect really asked for it, there is an 80% chance they would agree …"
Lu Yanfei bit her lower lip and revealed a bitter expression.
"It's laughable that my three senior brothers didn't dare to come out and acquiesced … They wanted to sacrifice me for the safety of the Origin Sect, but they were short-sighted. Did they really think that after I followed Lu Hai, the Origin Sect would really be safe …"
Two streams of tears flowed down Lu Yanfei's cheeks and fell to the ground. The tears merged with the rain on the ground.
She silently looked at the rainbow in the sky and muttered, "There is a rainbow after the wind and rain, but … The rainbow of my Origin Sect is bleak …"
Wang Lin's expression was calm. Seeing that the woman in red seemed to have no intention of continuing, he turned around and walked down the mountain. This time, the woman in red didn't try to stop him. She silently looked at the sky, and after a long time, her face was filled with determination and killing intent.
She looked back at the direction Wang Lin went.
"This person's heart is as firm as mine. If he were to embark on the path of dao, he would have great achievements in the future … Unfortunately …"
As he walked down the mountain, Wang Lin walked into the southern courtyard with an umbrella. Xu Yun was still cultivating. Wang Lin returned to his room and his eyes shined brightly.
"From Zhao Yu's memories, I know that the Cloud Sea Star System is very different from the Rain and Thunder Celestial Realms. Today, from what the Origin Sect elder said, the Cloud Sea Star System focuses on cultivating spirit beasts … They also have unique alchemy skills!
"The vast sea of stars is filled with fog, and inside the fog is a world that belongs to spirit beasts …"
Wang Lin began to ponder, especially when he thought about what the Origin Sect elder had said. There were pills that could help one reach the Ascendant stage!
"Heaven Deceiving Pill …" Wang Lin's eyes revealed a look of interest.
He still couldn't forget when he reached the Ascendant stage. If not for Zhou Yi's Ascendant Crystal, he would have been burned to ashes by the origin fire. Those who seek dao are born in the morning and die in the evening.
"The Cloud Sea Star System actually has pills that can help one pass the first life and death trial of cultivation.
It can be seen that the Cloud Sea Star System's alchemy skills have reached a peak. I fear that even the second step of cultivation has pills that can help one or two people!
"However, cultivators focus on comprehending their domain, and alchemy is an unorthodox method. Why would the Cloud Sea Star System develop alchemy like this …" Wang Lin frowned slightly, but his frown soon relaxed.
"Could it be … that there are pills that can help one comprehend their domain?" Thinking about this, Wang Lin's heart skipped a beat and he took a deep breath.
Right at this moment, his expression suddenly changed. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the room he was in, and it landed directly on Xu Yun's body.
At this moment, Xu Yun opened her eyes and coughed out a mouthful of blood. Her face was pale. She had failed to reach the Corporeal Yang stage once more … This failure had injured her origin soul. Xu Yun bit her lower lip and revealed a decisive gaze. She slapped her bag of holding and a wax pill appeared in her hand.
Without any hesitation, he crushed the wax pill, revealing a black pill within. The instant the pill appeared, a dense wave of natural energy immediately radiated from it. There was also a faint trace of strange Soulforce within it.
"Soul Parting Death Pill …" Xu Yun clenched her teeth and was about to swallow the pill. However, at this moment, she suddenly heard a calm voice.
"Stop!"
