"In Ancient Demon City, aside from me, there are two other cultivators. One of them is only at the early stage of Soul Transformation, so he won't be able to help. Only this Wang Lin was able to block the demon general's Seven Collapse Fist Intent, so his cultivation is enough … However, this person's heart is cold, so if there's no reward, it will be difficult for him to help me …"
Yao Xixue pondered for a moment before casually waving her right hand in front of her. Her originally naked body was immediately hidden by bursts of light within her white clothes.
Time passed. Wang Lin was still cultivating inside the barracks. After absorbing the demonic energy of the 500 demon soldiers and Captain Sun, the amount of demonic energy in his body had reached nearly 1,000 units.
With nearly 1,000 units of demonic energy, the speed at which he absorbed the demonic energy here was several times faster than before.
Wang Lin didn't care about anything in the barracks at all. He used all his time to absorb demonic energy in preparation for breaking through to the late stage of Soul Transformation.
On this day, while Wang Lin was cultivating, he suddenly opened his eyes and his expression changed.
"Wang Daoyou, today, at the third hour of the night, on top of the Drum Mountain 500 kilometers away from the barracks, Yao Xixue!"
Yao Xixue's voice was like smoke that echoed inside Wang Lin's origin soul.
Wang Lin pondered a bit. After a while, he closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
At the third hour of the night, on top of the Drum Mountain 500 kilometers away from the barracks, Yao Xixue stood at the top of the mountain in a white dress and quietly waited. Time slowly passed until the sun appeared, but Wang Lin still hadn't appeared.
Yao Xixue's expression was cold as she let out a cold snort. Her body turned into a ray of white light and flew toward the barracks where Wang Lin was.
Soon, she arrived outside the barracks and immediately teleported inside. The barracks' formation was very useful to her. After all, she was one of the commanders.
After entering the army camp, they were currently in the middle of a public square. Under the leadership of the captain, they were conducting a spell formation drill, which immediately attracted the attention of all the demon soldiers.
Without any movements, many Demon Soldiers followed behind Yao Xixue. She flew at an extremely fast speed towards Wang Lin's loft.
Outside the loft, Shi San suddenly opened his eyes and immediately stood up. He looked coldly at Yao Xixue, who was flying towards him.
"Halt!" Shi San bellowed.
Yao Xixue harrumphed coldly. Not only did she not stop, she even increased her speed as she approached the pavilion.
At this moment, the captains on the square charged toward the pagoda like lightning without any hesitation. Behind them, the demon soldiers unleashed their demonic auras and followed closely behind.
Seeing Yao Xixue approaching, Shi San let out a roar. He took a step forward, clenched his right hand into a fist, and threw a punch.
Yao Xixue didn't even look at Shi San. She pointed at the air with her right hand and a blood-red light immediately appeared, covering Shi San's body like a bloody robe. Shi San's body stopped and became completely still like a statue.
Below the pagoda, Yao Xixue was about to enter. At this moment, the surrounding 9,000 demon soldiers charged over like tens of thousands of galloping horses. One of the captains immediately shouted, "Commander Yao, stop!"
Yao Xixue's face was filled with killing intent. She waved her jade-like hand and a blood-red light immediately appeared. The area within a 100 meter radius was instantly covered by the blood-red light. The demon soldiers outside the 100 meter radius were immediately stopped, unable to enter.
"I have a private matter to discuss with your commander Wang, don't get involved!" Yao Xixue coldly said as she walked toward the pagoda.
The moment she walked into the pagoda, a cool breeze came from the pagoda and landed on Yao Xixue's body. Her expression suddenly changed and the blood-red light around her body suddenly flickered. After the cool breeze passed, the blood-red light gradually disappeared.
Shi San's body was also touched by the cool breeze. He immediately trembled and regained his ability to move. Wang Lin's voice echoed in his ears. After hearing Wang Lin's secret message, Shi San didn't even look at Yao Xixue. He sat down cross-legged on the ground and remained silent.
"Fellow cultivator Yao seems to have quite a temper!" Wang Lin's voice came from inside the pagoda. It was impossible to tell if he was happy or angry.
Yao Xixue's face was still cold. She let out a snort and said, "My temper can't compare to Wang Daoyou's arrogance."
With that, she took three steps forward, opened the door to the pagoda, and walked in.
The windows of the pagoda were sealed shut and it was completely dark inside. The moment the door was opened, the bright sunlight fell into the pagoda, forming a shadow on the ground.
Wang Lin was sitting cross-legged in the shadow at the end of the pagoda. It was impossible to see his expression.
"After entering this place, if you haven't done anything to tempt Wang, then don't blame Wang for not showing mercy to the fairer sex!" Wang Lin's voice was extremely cold.
He was at a critical moment in his cultivation. He originally planned to quietly go into closed door cultivation for a few months to refine the demonic energy in his body to reach the late stage of Soul Transformation. Now that someone had broken into his pagoda and interrupted his cultivation, he naturally wouldn't give them any face.
Yao Xixue coldly said, "I asked you to meet me at the Drum Mountain. Why didn't you go?"
"Why should I go?" Wang Lin frowned. He had only met this woman twice. Even this time, it was only the third time.
Yao Xixue was startled. She was angry before, so she directly came to find him, but at this moment, she was asked by Wang Lin, so she couldn't say anything.
After a moment of silence, Yao Xixue bowed slightly and said softly,
"I was reckless in this matter. Wang Daoyou, please don't take offense. It's just that I need Wang Daoyou's help with something, so I took the risk to come here."
"What is it?"
Wang Lin's words were short. He didn't want to talk to this person. Right now was the critical moment of refining the demonic energy.
Yao Xixue pointed her right hand in the void, and the door of the pagoda closed automatically. At the same time, a blood-red light shrouded the entire pagoda.
"This matter is extremely secretive, so I have to be careful. Wang Daoyou, please don't mind me!" Yao Xixue had a favor to ask, so she had to suppress her anger.
"It's fine!"
Wang Lin said calmly.
"There is a forbidden formation that I can't break on my own, so I need Wang Daoyou's help. Once the formation is broken, I will reward you handsomely!" Yao Xixue said after pondering for a while.
Wang Lin fell silent for a moment, before he slowly said, "Wang Daoyou has something important to do. I can't help you, Fellow Cultivator Yao, please forgive me!"
Not to mention that he really didn't have the time, even if he did, he wouldn't agree so easily. After all, he didn't have any dealings with this person, and if the person's cultivation couldn't break the formation, Wang Lin didn't think that he could break it with his help.
Also, the most important thing was that this person's words weren't true. It was obvious that he was hiding a lot of things. As a result, Wang Lin wouldn't help, nor was he obligated to help.
Before Yao Xixue decided to find Wang Lin, she already knew that he wouldn't be willing to help, so she wasn't discouraged and said, "Wang Daoyou is at the mid stage of Soul Transformation. If he wants to reach the late stage of Soul Transformation, he will need a lot of celestial jades. If he wants to reach the Ascendant stage, the amount of celestial jades he will need is unimaginable. This is only secondary. During the 500 years in the Demon Spirit Land, Fellow Cultivator will need a large amount of celestial jades to prepare for frequent consumption. As a result, celestial jades are something that Fellow Cultivator must obtain. I wonder if Fellow Cultivator has enough celestial jades?
If not, then I can provide them! "
Wang Lin opened his eyes and saw two moon-like lights flashing in the shadow where he was sitting. He looked at Yao Xixue and slowly asked, "How much can you provide?"
Yao Xixue revealed a smile. She wasn't afraid of Wang Lin asking for too much; she was afraid that Wang Lin wouldn't be tempted. Since he had asked, she was confident that she could satisfy him.
Yao Xixue calmly said, "I can provide Fellow Cultivator with enough celestial jades to reach the early stage of Ascendant!"
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. Yao Xixue's words had indeed tempted him. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have enough celestial jades, he would have already reached the late stage of Soul Transformation and wouldn't have to absorb the demonic spiritual energy he had worked so hard to gather.
It was just as the old man had said. Although Wang Lin's current amount of celestial jades wasn't far from reaching the late stage of Soul Transformation, if he were to use them all, he would be at a disadvantage if he was injured or lost any celestial spiritual energy.
He had considered this problem before, so until now, he hadn't absorbed the celestial spiritual energy from the celestial jades. Instead, he had accumulated demonic spiritual energy and transformed it. He had saved the celestial jades for last.
Wang Lin had already made up his mind that once he reaches the late stage of Soul Transformation and reaches the peak of the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage, he will take the demon soldiers and rob all the cultivators he meets to collect celestial jades!
"How about it?
If Wang Daoyou agrees, then I can give you the celestial jades you need to reach the late stage of Soul Transformation. As for the rest, I'll give it to you as soon as I return! "Yao Xixue immediately said.
Wang Lin pondered for a long time and then asked, "What kind of restriction is that?"
"I don't know the name of the formation, but once it is activated, a wheel will appear. There are 18 seals inside, and I can only break the 11th one. With your help, I believe I should be able to break them all!"
Most of what Yao Xixue said was true, but there was one thing she didn't say. Although she didn't know the name of the formation, she knew that once you break it, you will be separated from life and death. If you break it, you will live, and if you fail, you will die!
She had failed four times, which meant she had died four times. She had used up four extremely precious Blood Soul Pills that her father, the Blood Ancestor, had risked his life to obtain!
Only Shi San had one of these pills. Most of them were in Yao Xixue's hands!
Wang Lin pondered for a long time before his eyes narrowed and he asked, "Where is this formation?"
Yao Xixue pondered a bit and said, "Before Wang Daoyou agrees, I can't say more. I can tell Fellow Cultivator that this formation requires a special treasure to enter. Aside from me, no one else should be able to enter!"
"This woman is hiding a lot from me, but celestial jades are very important to me. If I have enough celestial jades, I'm confident I can reach the late stage of Soul Transformation in a short period of time. Although I also need to comprehend the heavens to reach the Ascendant stage, with celestial jades, I won't have to worry about that!
"However, I can't easily agree. I want to see where her bottom line is!" Wang Lin pondered a bit and shook his head.
"I need to consider this matter. I'll give Fellow Cultivator an answer in four months!"
