In the Cloud Sky Sect, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators were in the outer courtyard. As for the inner courtyard, although there weren't many, there were still some. However, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators were focused on alchemy. They rarely fought with others and spent most of their time in closed door cultivation.
For example, in the southern courtyard, there was a Nascent Soul cultivator. He was currently in the underground chamber of the southern courtyard, closest to the earth fire. He was using his Nascent Soul and earth fire to refine a pill that could increase one's cultivation level.
On the way to the southern courtyard, Wang Lin hid his presence and moved like a ghost, so no one noticed him. He stood outside the southern courtyard and looked at the white fog. He raised his foot and walked in without any hesitation.
Cheng Xian had told Wang Lin where he was, so the white fog in the southern courtyard had no effect on Wang Lin. He only needed to spread out his divine sense to clearly see the entire southern courtyard.
Near the center, Wang Lin's divine sense detected a fluctuation of Nascent Soul energy. With Wang Lin's experience, he was able to tell at a glance that there was an early stage Nascent Soul cultivator here.
At the moment Wang Lin's divine sense scanned the area, this person also noticed Wang Lin's presence. The cultivator was startled and was about to leave his closed door cultivation, but he suddenly stopped. He looked at the pill furnace that was emitting the fragrance of medicine and hesitated for a bit.
As for Wang Lin, the moment he found out that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator here, and one that was only at the early stage of Nascent Soul, he waved his hand and a small, black flag flew out of his sleeve.
In almost an instant, the flag grew and surrounded the Nascent Soul cultivator's closed door cultivation area.
Wang Lin sneered. If this person was at the mid stage of Nascent Soul, then he wouldn't have hesitated to help Cheng Xian and would have immediately returned to the northern courtyard.
But since this person was at the early stage of Nascent Soul, Wang Lin wasn't afraid at all. Although the restriction flag would be a lot weaker without him controlling it, it could still trap an early stage Nascent Soul cultivator for 15 minutes.
This quarter of an hour was enough for Wang Lin to complete everything he wanted to do.
Ignoring the Nascent Soul cultivator, Wang Lin calmly walked through the white fog. No one noticed him releasing the restriction flag and trapping the Nascent Soul cultivator.
Wang Lin calmly shuttled through the white mist and soon came to Cheng Xian's residence. Previously, when he swept with his Spiritual Awareness, Wang Lin had already found that Cheng Xian was inside, but his current state was a little dangerous.
Cheng Xian lay on the bed in his room and stared at the ceiling in a daze. Two streaks of tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes. The spiritual energy in his body was in a state of chaos.
Next to him stood a slightly chubby middle-aged man. This man was frowning as he used his right hand to pinch Cheng Xian's mouth and threw a pill into it. As he poured the pill into Cheng Xian's mouth, he scolded, "Little brat, I told you long ago that beauty is a source of trouble, but you just didn't listen. Hmph, especially that little girl Tong, she's even more scheming. How could she be subdued by you? Now look at it, from now on, don't keep thinking about her. From now on, wholeheartedly follow me in alchemy!"
Cheng Xian turned a deaf ear. As the pill entered his body, the spiritual energy in his body slowly calmed down.
His master let out a sigh and said, "I know you are not willing. How many times have you been there?
If it wasn't for me putting aside my old face, you would have already lost your life. Do you think the eastern courtyard is a place you can enter?
This time, don't blame me for restricting your body. The eastern courtyard has sent word that if you continue to cause trouble, your cultivation will be destroyed. "The chubby middle aged man shook his head and left the room.
Wang Lin stood outside the courtyard. After seeing this scene with his divine sense, he pondered for a moment before jumping into the courtyard. Cheng Xian's master didn't even notice that Wang Lin had already entered Cheng Xian's room.
He looked at Cheng Xian and waved his right hand, breaking the restriction that was restricting Cheng Xian's movements.
Cheng Xian's body trembled and he immediately sat up. He stared at Wang Lin with hatred in his eyes and gritted his teeth.
"You were sent by that bitch to kill me, right? Do it, I'm not afraid!"
Wang Lin was wearing a mask. Furthermore, his aura and cultivation were completely different from before, so Cheng Xian couldn't detect him at all.
Wang Lin looked at Cheng Xian and moved his left hand. Suddenly, an afterimage of a restriction appeared in front of him and spread out, covering the entire room.
Cheng Xian's eyes narrowed and then he bitterly smiled.
"That bitch is very cunning. She was actually able to invite an elder from the outer courtyard to deal with a nobody like me. Come, if you want to kill me, then kill me. If I even frown, then my name isn't Cheng Xian."
After setting up the restriction, Wang Lin slowly said in a cold tone, "I was indeed asked by someone to come, but I'm not here to kill you. I'm here to help you. Speak, what happened? Tell me in detail."
Cheng Xian was startled. He looked at Wang Lin and hesitantly asked, "Elder, who asked you to do this?"
Wang Lin frowned and coldly said, "I'll only give you three sentences. That was the first one. If you don't make yourself clear in the last two sentences, then I'll forget about it."
Cheng Xian clenched his teeth and revealed an expression of desperation. He said, "Gongsun Tong from the eastern courtyard, it was her. All of this was her fault.
That bitch contacted me for the sake of Da Yuan and Second Yuan. "
Wang Lin pondered a little and said, "Is this Spirit Ape yours?"
Wang Lin's question was very clever. It has to be said that there were many spirit beasts in the Cloud Sky Sect. The purpose of these spirit beasts was to be used by alchemists to make pills. As a result, what Gongsun Tong did was understandable.
Cheng Xian nodded and said, "I know what senior means, but the big ape and the second ape aren't spirit beasts of the Cloud Sky Sect. I obtained them before I joined the Cloud Sky Sect and brought them to the Cloud Sky Sect. According to the rules of the sect, I own these two spirit beasts."
Wang Lin's eyes were calm as he slowly said, "That Gongsun Tong first approached you and then asked for the Spirit Ape. In order to please the beauty, you gave her the Spirit Ape. Is that correct?"
Cheng Xian's face revealed a look of regret and he excitedly said,
"But … but I thought she wanted to use the Spirit Ape as a mount. I didn't think her goal was the Spirit Ape's inner core.
After the Spirit Ape's inner core was taken, it disappeared. I think it's dead. Now there are only the Second Yuan left. I went to the eastern courtyard many times to ask that bitch for the Spirit Ape, but every time I was stopped outside. There was also Lu Song, the disciple of Mister Mu from the outer sect. He was the one who injured me many times. "
Wang Lin slightly frowned. He originally didn't want to get involved in this, but Cheng Xian did help him get the Foundation Building Pill recipe, so he had to help him.
After pondering for a while, Wang Lin looked at Cheng Xian and calmly said, "How do you want to get revenge?"
Cheng Xian's eyes were bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and said, "If the Second Yuan is fine, then I admit defeat. But if the Second Yuan is dead, then I want them to be buried with him."
Wang Lin nodded and calmly said, "As you wish."
With that, he took a step back and left the room in an instant. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared without a trace.
Cheng Xian blankly stared at the spot where Wang Lin had been standing. His eyes revealed a look of confusion.
As for Wang Lin, after leaving Cheng Xian's room, he flew at top speed. However, just as he was about to leave the southern courtyard, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look into the distance.
There, he felt a wave of divine sense. After a moment of silence, Wang Lin turned around and retreated. With a wave of his right hand, his body immediately turned into a white mist and disappeared without a trace.
Just as his body disappeared, Li Muwan's figure moved like lightning and immediately arrived. Behind her was the middle-aged man with the same gentle expression.
The man frowned and slowly asked, "Junior Sister, what are you looking for?"
Li Muwan stopped. Through the divine sense between her eyebrows, she could clearly feel that the person was here, but why couldn't she see him … Li Muwan bitterly smiled. She was an intelligent person, so she naturally knew that the person didn't want to see her.
Li Muwan bit her lower lip and revealed a sad expression. She softly said, "I know you're here, but why won't you even let me see you?"
The middle-aged man's expression changed. He immediately swept the area with his divine sense, but he didn't find anything strange. He frowned and suspiciously looked at Li Muwan. "Junior Sister, who's here?
There's no one here! "
Li Muwan didn't even look at the middle-aged man. She closed her eyes and the sad expression on her face slowly calmed down. Although her voice was low, it was filled with a hint of determination. "Wan Er doesn't ask for anything else, I just want to see you. In these past 200 years, Wan Er has relied on the bottle of spiritual liquid you gave me to keep me alive. If you don't appear today, then Wan Er will commit suicide on the spot."
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he cautiously looked around.
At this moment, a sigh came from the white mist and a blurry figure slowly walked out. This person was Wang Lin. The moment he appeared, the middle-aged man's expression became extremely ugly, but he didn't act rashly. Instead, his right hand slowly reached for his bag of holding.
Li Muwan stared at Wang Lin in a daze and a stream of tears flowed down from her eyes. Although he was wearing a mask, she was certain that this person was him from all those years ago!
Li Muwan softly said, "You came."
Wang Lin bitterly smiled and said, "Why are you doing this?"
With that, his eyes became cold. He looked at the middle-aged man and calmly said, "The moment you touch your bag of holding is the moment you die!"
The middle-aged man's right hand suddenly stopped. His expression changed again and again. The feeling Wang Lin gave him was simply too strange. Wang Lin was only at the late stage of Core Formation, but he gave him the feeling that only Nascent Soul cultivators would give him.
He didn't doubt at all that if his hand touched the bag of holding, he would be mercilessly killed by Wang Lin. Large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He forced a smile and said, "Since brother is an old friend of sister Li, then you are also a friend of the Cloud Sky Sect. How could I be so rude? Brother misunderstood."
Li Muwan looked at Wang Lin. She had a lot of things she wanted to say, but she couldn't say a single one. She pondered a bit and whispered, "Do you still have that piece of jade?"
Wang Lin looked at the beauty before him. After pondering a bit, he shook his head and said, "I threw it away."
Li Muwan's body trembled. Her eyes were filled with sadness, but she forced herself to calm down. She pursed her lips and whispered, "If I threw it away, then I threw it away. It wasn't anything valuable to begin with."
Although she said that, she felt an intense pain in her chest. This pain was like a tidal wave that drowned her body and mind.
She spent a lot of effort and even sacrificed her lifespan to successfully inscribe that piece of green dragon jade. If it wasn't for the fact that she spent so much effort, with all the pills she had taken, even if she couldn't reach the Nascent Soul stage, she would at least be at the pseudo Nascent Soul stage.
How could she stop at the early stage of Core Formation and not take a step forward?
When she heard that the piece of jade was mercilessly thrown away by that person, her heart felt very painful … very painful … It was so painful that even though she forced herself to calm down, her body couldn't help but tremble. Her face became pale without any trace of blood.
Wang Lin turned around and didn't look at Li Muwan. After pondering a bit, he softly said, "I'm leaving …" With that, Wang Lin slowly turned around and walked away step by step.
Li Muwan's heart was filled with pain. She looked at Wang Lin's back and let out a gentle smile.
Although it was a smile, in the eyes of others, it was clearly a silent cry.
"The ancestor of the Cloud Sky Sect wants me to become a cultivation couple with this person. Before, I had a reason to refuse, but now I don't have any more reasons … If you are still in Chu in three months, I hope you can come and participate in this ceremony …"
Wang Lin's feet immediately trembled. His heart was filled with complex thoughts and he silently pondered.
Li Muwan's eyes lit up. She was waiting for the other party's reply.
At this moment, the middle-aged man finally understood why Li Muwan was so firm on the matter of dual cultivation. The answer lay in this person. His eyes were calm, but a trace of killing intent flashed in his heart.
Wang Lin pondered for a long time. With his back to her, he said, "Congratulations!"
With that, his figure gradually disappeared into the distance … Li Muwan's body trembled, and after a long time, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She muttered to herself, "I hate you … HATE YOU!!!"
The middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief. He walked up and softly said, "Junior apprentice sister, he has already left."
Li Muwan bit her lower lip. She didn't even look at the middle-aged man. She turned around and walked back to her residence without looking back.
The middle-aged man's expression was still gentle, but he sneered in his heart. He thought, "Slut, if it wasn't for the fact that you have more than 200 years of primordial yin, I wouldn't have made the ancestor agree to the cultivation couple. With the help of your primordial yin and the pills I have collected over the years, breaking through to the late stage of Core Formation is just a matter of time.
If you had agreed before, I might have been a bit more polite to you, but now, once I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I will definitely humiliate you to get back at you for rejecting me over and over again! "
Wang Lin left the southern courtyard. Although he was a ruthless person, he still felt very apologetic toward Li Muwan. It wasn't that he couldn't accept her, it was just that the path he wanted to walk wasn't suitable for a woman to follow him.
There was still one chapter left at night. After reading everyone's comments, he saw that Li Muwan was still very popular.
