There were too many things in Wang Lin's storage space that he wanted to take out, but he only had one chance to keep his storage space intact. Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he made a decision in his heart.
Right now, a puppet that was infinitely close to the early stage of Void Tribulant was the most useful thing to him!
The Yi Si Puppet he had obtained from the depths of the Ancient Tomb appeared in Wang Lin's mind. He didn't hesitate to grab the spatial stone and his divine sense surged into it. He opened his storage space inside the spatial stone!
The moment his storage space was opened, the spatial stone trembled and another space replaced Wang Lin's storage space and collapsed.
The moment it collapsed, a monstrous killing intent rushed out from Wang Lin's storage space. There was a flash of ghostly light and a figure with four limbs on the ground, a scarlet tongue, and a long, ferocious body appeared beside Wang Lin.
It was the Yi Si Puppet that looked as thin as a monkey!
Bursts of roars and ferocious killing intent came from the Yi Si Puppet. Its eyes were red and it stared at Wang Lin. As it roared, it seemed to remember Wang Lin's identity, and the ferocious gaze in its eyes dissipated a bit.
Wang Lin coldly looked at the ferocious figure and slowly said, "Yi Si, protect me!"
Roar!
The ferocious gaze in the Yi Si Puppet's eyes became even stronger. It suddenly turned around and stared at the door of the cave. Its scarlet tongue dragged on the ground and twisted. It was a shocking sight.
At this moment, if anyone stepped into the cave, they would immediately be attacked by the Yi Si Puppet.
Wang Lin was still worried. He looked down at the mosquito king on his arm. The moment he looked over, there was a flash of coldness in the mosquito king's eyes. It seemed to look at Wang Lin.
The mosquito king was the last line of defense that Wang Lin had prepared for himself while he was in closed door cultivation!
At this point, Wang Lin felt a bit more at ease. He sat down inside the cave and looked at the drop of water in his hand. His eyes were filled with excitement as he took a deep breath and pressed the drop of water between his eyebrows.
The moment the drop of water entered Wang Lin's forehead, Wang Lin's blood began to boil. The drop of water essence inside his body immediately fused with the new drop of water, and a shocking change occurred.
As this change occurred, Wang Lin's body rapidly withered. It was as if all the water and blood in his body had condensed together.
His body rapidly withered. In just half an incense stick of time, Wang Lin had turned into a skeleton. His hair was dry and his skin was covered in wrinkles. He was like a corpse that had been dead for many years!
Inside his body, the drop of water essence had absorbed all of Wang Lin's water and blood. It was sparkling and translucent, but it was hidden inside his body, making it impossible for anyone to see it.
This was the process of absorbing and condensing water essence. It looked terrifying, because a Cultivator's body naturally contained water. Even their blood was a part of it.
When the water essence was condensed, the body would naturally feel a pull, which was why he looked like a dried up corpse.
Time passed. In the blink of an eye, seven days had gone by. During that time, Wang Lin sat there cross-legged, motionless, as if he had truly died. If it weren't for the fact that his aura hadn't dissipated, but had instead grown stronger, anyone would have thought that something had happened to Wang Lin.
Two days later, inside the Immortal's cave, Wang Lin's withered body suddenly trembled, and his eyes snapped open. They were cloudy, as if all of the water in his eyes had disappeared.
"Disperse, water essence …." said Wang Lin in a hoarse voice. He lifted his withered hands up into the air and performed an incantation gesture. In that instant, the water essence droplet inside of Wang Lin's withered body seemed to have reached a pinnacle, and then exploded out. Wang Lin's body trembled, and then seemed to glow with youth as he began to recover.
The speed of his recovery was complete in the blink of an eye. As of this moment, Wang Lin was no longer withered and withered. Instead, his skin was sparkling and translucent, and he seemed to be surrounded by a strange glow.
He remained in this state for nine days. During those nine days, the water droplet inside of Wang Lin rotated rapidly, and was clearly smaller than it had been two days ago.
It was as if these two nine days, one condensing and one scattering, formed a cycle. Now that the first cycle was over, the second cycle began!
On the 19th day of Wang Lin's closed door cultivation, a strange change occurred to his body. He rapidly withered and turned into a mummy. The water droplet inside his body continued to shine.
This cycle continued, and soon, Wang Lin's body went through seven cycles of drying up and saturation. After these seven cycles, the water droplet inside his body was less than 20% of its original size.
Several months had already passed!
During these several months of closed door cultivation, Wang Lin ignored everything that was happening outside of the Great Soul Sect. He was completely immersed in the process of absorbing the water essence. He understood that if he could make the water essence complete, his cultivation level would immediately increase!
The water essence was a corporeal essence, and there was the same problem as the fire essence in Wang Lin's body, the fusion and devouring of wills.
However, Wang Lin's water essence was only at small completion, so when he fused with the water essence of the Immortal Astral Continent, the rejection force wasn't too strong, so he could withstand it.
Time passed once more, and in a flash, another 18 days went by. At this moment, Wang Lin's body had gone through eight cycles of drying up and saturation. After eight cycles, the water droplet inside Wang Lin's body had become extremely small. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to see it clearly.
While Wang Lin was in closed door cultivation, his essence true body guarded the cave. Inside the cave, the Yi Si Puppet guarded everything.
The Yi Si Puppet hadn't been stained with blood for a long time, so it was very irritable. It constantly roared inside the cave and sometimes looked back at Wang Lin with a fierce gaze. However, in its mind, Wang Lin was its master. Although this wasn't deep, it still had some effect, and it had resisted the urge to devour blood many times.
Most importantly, the Yi Si Puppet could sense that its current master was different than he had been all those years ago. It was as if there was an aura on him that struck terror into the puppet's heart. That aura was very faint, but it had fused with the soul and was inseparable.
This was the reason Wang Lin had made it guard him. This puppet was summoned by Wang Lin, and although it was extremely fierce, Wang Lin's will could still play a role. As long as it wasn't for too long, there would be no problem. As Wang Lin's cultivation level increased, his will would become even stronger, and it would be enough to control this ferocious puppet!
Not to mention that his avatar had a sliver of aura in his divine sense. Others would find it difficult to detect, but the Yi Si Puppet could.
Fan Shanmeng was also in the mountain. She had been observing where Wang Lin was in closed door cultivation for a long time. Several months had passed, and the thought in her heart had become even stronger. She walked out of the cave and slowly walked towards the top of the mountain.
When she was 1,000 feet away, Fan Shanmeng stopped. She looked at the fire essence true body outside Wang Lin's cave, and fear appeared in her eyes.
She was not bold enough to attack Wang Lin while he was in closed door cultivation. Instead, she wanted to observe from a close distance and find some clues so that she could complete her master's order and slowly kill Wang Lin.
However, the moment she stopped 1,000 feet away, she saw Wang Lin's essence true body outside the cave suddenly open its eyes and sweep its gaze over Fan Shanmeng.
When the essence true body looked at her, it felt as if Wang Lin was looking at her personally. Fan Shanmeng's heart trembled. She quickly lowered her head and was about to retreat, but at that moment, a shocking roar echoed in the cave. A thick, black fog rushed out of the cave and manifested in the world. A pair of ferocious eyes appeared in the fog, and a blood-red tongue hung out of the fog. It twisted and swayed, and it was a terrifying sight.
Inside the fog was Yi Si. It had not seen blood for several months, and it had finally noticed that someone was approaching the cave. It immediately rushed out and saw Fan Shanmeng. Its eyes were filled with bloodlust and it let out a roar as it charged at Fan Shanmeng.
Fan Shanmeng's cultivation level had reached the seventh Arcane Tribulant, which was already very strong. However, under the gaze of Yi Si, her mind trembled. Adding on her fear of Wang Lin, Fan Shanmeng didn't hesitate to retreat.
However, her speed was obviously not as fast as Yi Si. It let out a roar and charged at Fan Shanmeng. Its giant tongue swept toward Fan Shanmeng and the black fog surrounded Fan Shanmeng, sealing off her path of retreat.
Thunderous rumbles echoed across the world. Most of the people in the Great Soul Sect had received orders from the old ancestor to approach the mountain where Wang Lin was. They all noticed the change and looked over.
Yan Lu was cultivating when she suddenly opened her eyes and her expression changed. She had almost forgotten that she had sent Fan Shanmeng to kill Wang Lin. At this moment, there was a hint of dread in her eyes as she charged toward the mountain where Wang Lin was.
Inside Wang Lin's cave, Wang Lin was going through the ninth cycle, which was also the last. Once he completed this cycle, his water essence would be complete and his cultivation level would increase.
However, the drop of water essence in his body had been completely used up as his body rapidly withered like a corpse. Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes and his eyes shined brightly.
"The water essence is not enough to complete the last cycle … Just a bit more!!
I need a lot of water!! "
Wang Lin's current appearance was very terrifying. His withered body was like a skeleton and looked very shocking.
He silently pondered and suddenly looked up. He noticed the thunderous rumbles outside and Yan Lu's aura.
"Yi Si, come back!"
The moment Yan Lu closed in on Fan Shanmeng and Yi Si, Wang Lin's voice came from inside the cave. At the same time, Wang Lin walked out of the cave and appeared in the world.
His dried up body and terrifying appearance were immediately seen by Yan Lu and she let out a cry of shock.
