After arriving at Qingyun Sect, Ye Lin began to tally his gains from this trip.
Among them, the Gengjin Essence was the most precious, followed by the three Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
These three Mid-Grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to several years' worth of resources for an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple.
“Hmph, if I refine this Gengjin Essence and rely solely on my Physique without using any other methods, even a Qi Training Eighth Layer Cultivator wouldn't be my match.”
Ye Lin mused, his body had already been strengthened twice, and now with the Gengjin Essence, his body would be reinforced to an incredibly absurd degree.
“Then, let's begin the refining.”
At this, Ye Lin made up his mind, then directly swallowed the Gengjin Essence into his body. The Gengjin Essence was incredibly hard; a full-strength blow from a Qi Training Ninth Layer Cultivator couldn't even make a dent in it.
However, as soon as the Gengjin Essence entered Ye Lin's body, it was immediately enveloped by Phoenix Fire. The originally incredibly hard Gengjin Essence, under the burning of the Phoenix Fire, transformed into a liquid mass.
The liquid spread out, flowing throughout Ye Lin's entire body.
If one looked closely, they would find that the Gengjin Essence was integrating into Ye Lin's muscles and bones, gradually strengthening his body bit by bit.
Time spent Cultivating always flew by; in the blink of an eye, eight days had passed.
On this day, Ye Lin slowly opened his eyes.
“Hiss, as expected, it truly is a supreme treasure in the eyes of Body Cultivators. My Physique has directly increased several times over.”
“If I were to rely solely on my body now, I could directly beat a Qi Training Eighth Layer Cultivator to death.”
Ye Lin muttered to himself. From the beginning of his Cultivation until now, the resources he had consumed were countless, and his foundation was also incredibly profound.
“If I Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage and then forge a five-grade dao platform, at that time, I could even beat up an ordinary Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator.”
His current foundation already surpassed ninety-nine percent of Qingyun Sect's Disciples. As long as he Breakthroughs to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would be among the most powerful in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
“The most pressing matter now is to hatch the little Phoenix.”
“However, ever since our last parting, I wonder what my destiny is now.”
Cultivation: Qi Training Ninth Layer
Fate: Black (Plagued by Misfortune)
Fate Principles: 【Plagued by Bad Luck】 【Divine Comprehension】
Destiny: Twenty days later, during the Inner Sect Grand Competition, he was singled out and challenged by Lin Zisheng, ultimately defeated by Lin Zisheng, mocked by all Inner Sect Disciples, his Dao Heart shattered, and from then on, he never recovered.
Recent Opportunity: None
【Plagued by Bad Luck】: Your Luck is relatively poor; for example, you will always trip when walking and will definitely be cheated on if you get married.
【Divine Comprehension】: Your Comprehension Ability is transcendent. You are extremely fast at comprehending various Cultivation Techniques. For the same Cultivation Technique, others might need three months, while you only need a few days.
Looking at his destiny, Ye Lin's expression turned grim. What a vicious ploy.
In Qingyun Sect, no matter what kind of grand competition it was, once challenged, one was not allowed to refuse. Even if it meant biting the bullet, you had to participate.
And Lin Zisheng's move was aimed directly at shattering his Dao Heart. What does Cultivation rely on? It relies on the Dao Heart, and the Dao Heart is perseverance, an unyielding and unwavering perseverance.
Once the Dao Heart is shattered, all previous efforts will be in vain. This was a psychological attack, a scheme by Lin Zisheng to make him suffer eternal damnation.
If it were a direct battle, at this moment, he was no match for Lin Zisheng, and during the grand competition, anything was allowed as long as no one died.
However, once the Dantian is crippled, coupled with a shattered Dao Heart, it could be said that one's entire life would be without a chance for Cultivation.
“What a vicious mind.”
Ye Lin's expression was grim. Lin Zisheng's move could be said to be extremely malicious. If it truly unfolded as described on the panel, his life would be ruined.
“Damn it, the key to breaking this situation now is to Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage. No matter how much of a Prodigy a Qi Training Ninth Layer Cultivator is, it's impossible to defeat a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.”
In Cultivation, every Breakthrough to a new Realm is a transformation at the life level, a qualitative change. It's simply impossible to fight across major Realms.
“Now, within ten days, I must hatch the little Phoenix.”
“My Dao Heart shattered twenty days later? Just wait, it's not certain who will win or lose.”
Ye Lin sneered, then stood up and walked outside.
The little Phoenix's life aura was growing stronger. Although he could get Phoenix blood by breaking the Phoenix Egg now, he wouldn't do something that foolish.
“Now, I just need to obtain three Profound Rank treasures to hatch the little Phoenix.”
Feeling the life aura within the Phoenix Egg, Ye Lin estimated.
“Fire Cloud Mountain Range, Earth Vein Fire Qi? However, in my current state, once I absorb the Earth Vein Fire Qi, I definitely won't be able to suppress my Cultivation.”
Ye Lin walked and pondered.
He had already tempered his Qi Training Stage to the limit. Once he absorbed that treasure that allowed Lin Zisheng to Breakthrough from Foundation Establishment Initial Stage to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, he definitely wouldn't be able to suppress his Cultivation.
If he accidentally Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would have nowhere to cry.
However, at this moment, Lin Zisheng walked towards Ye Lin head-on.
“Cherish your last days well.”
Looking at Ye Lin in front of him, Lin Zisheng's face was full of cold sneers. If it weren't for the Sect's annoying rule, he would have already killed Ye Lin.
A mere Qi Refinement Stage Cultivator actually caused him so much trouble, which made him incredibly angry.
After speaking, Lin Zisheng walked towards the Mission Pavilion. His Cultivation was currently unstable, and he needed to take on two missions to stabilize it.
Watching Lin Zisheng leave, a panel appeared before Ye Lin's eyes. Isn't this just a coincidence?
Name: Lin Zisheng
Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Initial Stage

Subsequently, he was ambushed by three Tribulation Transcendence Late Stage Cultivators, his Dantian was damaged, his Cultivation was crippled, and from then on, he became a cripple.
Recent Opportunity 1: Received a fourth-grade mission at the Mission Pavilion to go to Demonic Scorpion Valley to kill ten Qi Training Ninth Layer Demonic Scorpions.

After reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, your memories will be unsealed, and from then on, you will be like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, having smooth sailing all the way.
Looking at Lin Zisheng's panel, Ye Lin immediately lifted his foot and walked towards the Mission Pavilion, while Lin Zisheng was currently selecting missions in the Mission Pavilion.
