Wang Lin frowned and pointed at the maggots. A flame appeared and landed on the maggots. After a series of sizzling sounds, the maggots immediately shrank and turned to dust.
There was only a bag of holding left on the ground. Wang Lin's eyes lit up and the bag of holding landed in his hand. He scanned it with his divine sense and his expression became strange. Inside the bag of holding was nothing but insects.
He pondered for a bit, placed a seal on the bag of holding, put it away, and disappeared.
When he reappeared, Wang Lin was standing in the sky above the Cloud Sky Sect.
Li Muwan stared at Wang Lin. Tears of joy appeared in her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she began to cough violently. Her face turned pale and her body fell to the side.
Wang Lin arrived next to Li Muwan and held her. His expression suddenly changed and he pointed at her body several times. Then he raised his head and said, "Liu Fei, Song Qing, seal the sect. No one is allowed to leave before I come out." With that, Wang Lin held Li Muwan and flew to the east pavilion.
Liu Fei and Song Qing quickly nodded and went to do what they had to do.
A giant light screen slowly appeared and covered the entire Cloud Sky Sect. Gradually, the scene inside the light screen was hidden.
The surviving disciples all received orders that they were not allowed to go out during this period of time. Everyone willingly obeyed this order.
They all talked among themselves, and almost all of their topics revolved around the name Ceng Niu.
After Liu Fei and Song Qing finished their work, they looked at each other. They could see the excitement and fear in each other's eyes.
This excitement was because the Cloud Sky Sect's calamity had been solved. They also didn't think that Wang Lin would be the famous Ceng Niu.
This fear was because of Wang Lin's return. After all, they still couldn't forget the bloody scene from back then.
At this moment, the two of them arrived outside the eastern pavilion. They didn't dare to get too close, so they sat down to cultivate far away. The two late stage Nascent Soul head elders of the Cloud Sky Sect, who had higher statuses than the two of them, were already waiting for Wang Lin.
Inside the pavilion, Wang Lin sat cross-legged before Li Muwan. Right now, Li Muwan's face was pale and her body was very weak. There was a thick aura of death around her.
Wang Lin stared at Li Muwan. After a long time, he clenched his teeth and took out top quality spirit stones. He placed them on each side of Li Muwan and sent streams of spiritual energy into Li Muwan's body.
Time quickly passed. Three days later, Wang Lin still had a frown on his face. For three days straight, he had sent spiritual energy into Li Muwan's body. If Wang Lin hadn't reached the Soul Formation stage, he would have used up a lot of spiritual energy. However, for a Soul Formation cultivator, he didn't have to worry about this.
Color slowly returned to Li Muwan's body.
On the third night, she opened her eyes. The moment she opened them, she saw Wang Lin and revealed a happy smile.
Li Muwan whispered, "Big brother Wang …"
Wang Lin secretly sighed. He smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I'll take care of your body every day. Once your body gets better, I'll definitely help you reach the Nascent Soul stage."
Li Muwan revealed a smile. Her smile was very happy. She shook her head and said, "Are you still going to leave?"
Wang Lin seriously said, "I won't leave for now."
Li Muwan's eyes lit up and she said softly, "Really?" "Really!
"Really, Wan Er, you've just gotten better. Rest for a bit." Wang Lin nodded.
Li Muwan gradually fell asleep. She leaned on Wang Lin's shoulder. Even in her sleep, there was a happy smile on her face. This kind of smile had never appeared on her face in the past 100 years.
After a long time, Wang Lin gently picked up Li Muwan and placed her on the bed. He covered her with a blanket and walked out of the pavilion.
The moment he stepped out of the loft, his expression immediately darkened.
Outside of the pavilion, there were a total of seven people sitting cross-legged. Aside from the two late stage Nascent Soul Grand Elders, Song Qing, and Liu Fei, there was also Ouyang Zi and two other early stage Nascent Soul Elders.
The moment Wang Lin walked out, the seven people suddenly opened their eyes and stood up. They couldn't help but hold their breaths. Wang Lin's prestige still existed. In their eyes, Wang Lin was a terrifying name.
"Why is Wan Er's body like this?
When I left 100 years ago, she was still fine! "
Wang Lin's voice was calm, but when it fell into the ears of the seven people, it was like thunder. The two new early stage Nascent Soul Elders were forced back a few steps. After they stopped, their faces were filled with shock.
Even Liu Fei and the others were shocked and their Nascent Souls became unstable.
Only the two late stage Nascent Soul Grand Elders could remain calm under Wang Lin's voice.
One of the grand elders let out a sigh and said, "Sect head, in the past 100 years, Miss Wan Er has tried to form her Nascent Soul three times and failed each time. Her body can't take it anymore. Especially the time 30 years ago, she almost died …" This person was the person who stood in front of Li Muwan when Zhan Bai arrived.
Wang Lin looked at this person and said, "I remember your surname is Lu?"
He was happy and immediately said respectfully, "Sect head still remembers me, my name is Lu Fei."
After Lu Fei found out that Wang Lin was Ceng Niu, he immediately made up his mind to follow Wang Lin, all for the possibility of reaching the Soul Formation stage in the future.
A cultivator like him who had been stuck at the late stage of Nascent Soul for a long time was very realistic. For the possibility of reaching the Soul Formation stage, he could give up everything.
Wang Lin pondered a bit and said, "Even pills are useless …" Lu Fei secretly sighed. Song Qing, who was beside him, said:
Song Qing said, "Sect head, Miss Wan Er has already taken a lot of medicinal pills, but …"
Wang Lin looked up at the sky. He already had a guess in his heart. His eyes revealed a trace of confusion and he softly said, "Continue."
Song Qing clenched his teeth and continued, "But, Miss Wan Er's lifespan has already exceeded that of a normal Core Formation cultivator. Even if they use a heaven-defying method to change their fate, they still won't be able to escape the cycle of reincarnation … unless Miss Wan Er can successfully form her Nascent Soul."
Wang Lin was silent. Previously, when he was helping Li Muwan adjust her body, he found that Li Muwan's body was filled with an aura of death. Her body had already reached the point where it was like a lamp running out of oil.
This wasn't something that could be changed by humans, it was the result of reaching the end of one's lifespan.
"All of you can leave …" Wang Lin let out a sigh and returned to the pavilion. Before he entered, he paused and said, "The name Ceng Niu is strictly forbidden from spreading. As for those disciples, go and think of a way."
Everyone quickly nodded. After Wang Lin entered the pavilion, Lu Fei's eyes lit up. He stared at everyone and said, "Everyone, if the sect head's identity is exposed, Red Butterfly from the country of Rosefinch will definitely come looking for us. We can't take this lightly."
The eyes of the other First Elder, Tie Yan, flickered, and he let out a laugh. He could tell what Lu Fei was thinking at a glance. He was thinking the same thing as Lu Fei, so he immediately said, "That's right. As for the low-level disciples, go and personally erase their memories!
Also, if any of you leak this information, don't forget that your roots are in the country of Chu. When that time comes, don't blame the Old Man for being ruthless! "
Liu Fei and Song Qing naturally wouldn't spread the news. Their gazes immediately landed on the two newly promoted Nascent Soul Elders in the last hundred years. Their gazes were unfriendly.
As for Ouyang Zi, no one would think that he would leak this information. This person only cared about alchemy and had long since given up on worldly thoughts.
The two new Nascent Soul elders' faces immediately turned pale. One of them immediately used the heavens as a witness and swore an oath.
The other person also reacted and quickly swore an oath.
Lu Fei's eyes revealed a hint of killing intent. He glanced at Tie Yan and Tie Yan nodded his head.
Lu Fei laughed and nodded. "That's good. The two of you, follow me. I have some Nascent Soul insights that I hope will be of help to you."
The two of them were very happy and quickly followed. However, one of them slowed down and revealed a hint of worry in his eyes.
At this moment, Liu Fei and the others faintly smiled and took two steps forward. The person with the worried expression clenched his teeth and followed Lu Fei to the western courtyard … After that, the two new elders never appeared again. However, Lu Fei now had two puppets surrounded by black fog … Wang Lin entered the building and sat down next to Li Muwan's bed. He quietly looked at her sleeping face. After a long time, Wang Lin softly said, "As long as you reach the Nascent Soul stage, your lifespan will increase. This is not difficult."
In the blink of an eye, one month passed.
During this month, all of the low level disciples of the Cloud Sky Sect had forgotten about what happened a month ago. They were all curious as to why the sect head announced that he would go into closed door cultivation.
Liu Fei and Song Qing once again took control of the Cloud Sky Sect. As time passed, the Cloud Sky Sect's glory days gradually returned.
Because many sects in Chu were destroyed, the Cloud Sky Sect took this opportunity to make a move. Not only did they once again become the number one sect in Chu, but their power also increased by several fold.
As for Wang Lin, the day after Li Muwan woke up, he left the Cloud Sky Sect with her. Lu Fei and Tie Yan also followed. The two of them gave up their positions as head elders of the Cloud Sky Sect and decided to follow Wang Lin for the possibility of reaching the Soul Formation stage.
Wang Lin took Li Muwan and the two of them talked and laughed as they traveled through most of Chu. Li Muwan had never felt so happy before. During this period of time, she was very satisfied. Every day, she would smile and accompany Wang Lin like a little wife.
Finally, they stopped at a mountain in Chu that was close to the Immortal Graveyard.
There was no one nearby and the nearest village was tens of thousands of kilometers away.
In a valley, Wang Lin slapped his bag of holding and a pagoda flew out and landed in the valley.
This place was a very cold place in Chu. Wang Lin remembered that Zhou Yi said that only in cold places could a pagoda be released.
As soon as the pagoda formed by Celestial Jade appeared, it began to grow larger until it was about 1,000 feet tall. It landed in the valley, and a ripple spread out in all directions.
A sliver of Zhou Yi's Ascendant cultivation covered the area within 50 kilometers.
