“The first sword was a warning because you didn't know your place, and you didn't listen to advice. The second sword severs the Karma between us; from now on, we have no further connection.”
With that, Ye Lin turned and walked away.
That's right, with that sword, he shattered Wang Wu's Golden Core, rendering Wang Wu a true cripple.
And a cripple who was about to die.
This matter, from beginning to end, was instigated by Wang Wu. If Nameless Mountain were to punish him for this, he would immediately withdraw from Nameless Mountain.
“Senior Brother, please.”
“Senior Brother, please.”
When Ye Lin wanted to continue queuing, the Disciples in front looked at him with utmost respect, all making way for him.
And so, Ye Lin walked forward, thanking them as he went.
Unobstructed, he quickly reached the very front.
On the other side, Wang Wu knelt on the ground, looking at his blood-stained hands, filled with regret.
If only he hadn't sought trouble with Ye Lin, if only he hadn't attacked Ye Lin, if only he hadn't discovered Ye Lin on Broken Ice Mountain Cliff, how wonderful would that have been?
Now his thoughts had completely shifted. Only when he felt the shattered Golden Core in his Dantian did he truly understand that he was genuinely crippled.
Completely a cripple.
On the other side, Ye Lin looked at Wang San.
“Ye Lin? I didn't expect it to be you. We haven't seen each other for almost two years, and you've become even more handsome.”
“Tianhe County's number one Prodigy, I heard that title a long time ago. From the moment you persevered for an hour during that Heart-Nature and perseverance test, I knew your future was destined to be extraordinary.”
“I never expected your excellence to far exceed my expectations. Tianhe County's number one Prodigy, tsk tsk tsk, even I envy that title.”
Wang San showered Ye Lin with praise.
After all, the Ye Lin before him had limitless prospects; he was a very thick thigh to cling to.
When he first joined Nameless Mountain, he was just an ordinary young man. Who would have thought that two years later, he would become Tianhe County's number one Prodigy?
Such a huge leap made him realize in his heart that he absolutely had to cling tightly to this thick thigh.
Listening to Wang San's praise, Ye Lin couldn't help but smile wryly.
“Senior Brother, please quickly settle my resources. I still have something to attend to. Thank you for your trouble, Senior Brother.”
Seeing that Wang San was about to continue talking, Ye Lin immediately took out his token and placed it in Wang San's hand, speaking softly.
If he didn't stop him, this guy wouldn't know when he'd stop talking.
“Oh, right, right, I'll handle it for you right away.”
Taking the token from Ye Lin's hand, Wang San began to inquire.
The Nameless Mountain Disciple token was of great use, equivalent to an ID card; all kinds of records could be looked up.
“Tsk, Junior Brother, you haven't claimed your resources even once since you joined the Sect! You really are… wait, I'll calculate your resources for you immediately.”
Looking at Ye Lin's information, Wang San clicked his tongue in wonder.
It was his first time seeing such an unusual Disciple; he hadn't claimed a single resource since joining the Sect.
What does a Disciple join a Sect for? Of course, for resources! But a Disciple as unusual as Ye Lin was rare.
“One month is thirty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and three Xuan Grade Low-Rank Medicinal Pills.”
“You have a total of… so many months' worth that you haven't claimed.”
“Calculating it, a few Spirit Stones are missing, but Senior Brother will make up for it. It's a total of nine hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.”
“And for the Xuan Grade Low-Rank Medicinal Pills, Junior Brother, how about this: you don't need those Xuan Grade Low-Rank Medicinal Pills, and Senior Brother will exchange them for two Profound Rank High-Grade Medicinal Pills for you instead, how about that?”
Halfway through the calculation, Wang San suddenly leaned close to Ye Lin and said.
“Yes, then many thanks, Senior Brother.”
Ye Lin said with a smile. The medicinal effects of Xuan Grade Low-Rank Medicinal Pills and Profound Rank High-Grade Medicinal Pills were worlds apart.
And one hundred Xuan Grade Low-Rank Medicinal Pills might not even be enough to exchange for one Profound Rank High-Grade Medicinal Pill.
He knew that Wang San was doing this to curry favor with him.
He didn't dislike such things; in fact, he hoped there would be more of them. Anything that could improve his strength was a good thing.
“Alright, Junior Brother, a total of nine hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and two Profound Rank High-Grade Medicinal Pills.”
“This one is a Heart-Nourishing Pill; it can nourish the Divine Soul, greatly strengthening it.”
“This one is an Enlightenment Pill. Although its name sounds grand, its medicinal effect is somewhat inferior, but it is still an excellent Medicinal Pill. After consumption, it can greatly increase your Comprehension Ability, which will be of great help for you to comprehend Concept.”
Wang San held the two Medicinal Pills and meticulously explained them to Ye Lin.
After hearing their effects, Ye Lin nodded. These two Medicinal Pills would have a huge effect on him.
He had only recently entered the fourth layer of Sword Intent and needed a long period of accumulation. Now, with the help of the Enlightenment Pill, his understanding of the fourth layer of Sword Intent would undoubtedly ascend to a higher level.
“Then many thanks, Senior Brother.”
After receiving the Spirit Stones and Medicinal Pills, Ye Lin smiled at Wang San.
“Hey, no thanks needed. Who are we to each other? Junior Brother, if you're ever free in the future, come find me, and we'll have a good drink.”
“Hahaha, definitely. Then Senior Brother, please continue with your work. Junior Brother has something to attend to right now.”
“Go, go, Junior Brother, you must remember to come find me for a drink!”
“Of course.”
Ye Lin waved at Wang San, then flew into the sky under the awestruck gazes of the crowd.
“I didn't expect that after not claiming them for so long, the resources would accumulate to such a terrifying degree.”
“The Outer Sect resources alone are so abundant; the Inner Sect is unimaginable.”
Standing in the sky, Ye Lin sighed inwardly.
Nine hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were a huge fortune.
If taken out, they could make a Golden Core Stage Cultivator risk his life for you.
After all, resources are scarce in the current Cultivation world. Those who truly have resources are Disciples of major powers, while Loose Cultivators are one poorer than the next.
At this moment, the space ring on Ye Lin's right hand flickered with light. Out of curiosity, Ye Lin began to examine it.
Inside the space ring, a fiery red feather was burning with raging flames, darting around within the space ring.
“The feather Little Red gave me, has something happened?”
Ye Lin, full of doubt, took out the feather.
This was precisely the feather Little Red had given him; it could enable communication no matter how far apart they were.
“Boss, I've broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage! I've successfully undergone Phoenix Nirvana and comprehended the Bloodline Legacy! I heard you wanted the Phoenix Nirvana Art. The Phoenix Nirvana Art has been successfully comprehended by me. Do you still want it?”
“Boss, Boss, are you there? Reply if you receive this.”
“Boss, if you're not there, please let me know. If you're not there, please say something.”
As soon as he took out the feather, an extremely excited voice emanated from it. This voice sounded incredibly childish, similar to that of a Human Race child aged seven or eight.
And upon hearing “Phoenix Nirvana Art,” Ye Lin's face was filled with excitement.
The Phoenix Nirvana Art was exactly what he was waiting for.
Having obtained the Bloodline Legacy also meant that Little Red had broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage. Divine Beasts break through so quickly.
“Not here.”
A moment later, Ye Lin replied.
“Oh.”
After Ye Lin spoke, a voice came from the feather, and then the feather slowly fell silent.
Seeing this, Ye Lin couldn't help but rub his head.
Little Red's intelligence needs improvement.
