"Niu Fang, you're screwing me over! If I survive this ordeal, I'll definitely kill you myself!"
Chen Ze was roaring inwardly.
How could he not know about the news of the Floating Training Grounds' peerless talent and the ten-thousand-year Useless Body these past few days?
He never expected that the person Niu Fang wanted him to deal with was actually Lin Xuan, who had just reported this morning.
Niu Fang said that Lin Xuan was lucky and had already cultivated his body to its peak in the mortal realm, barely breaking through after taking the Body Strengthening Pill.
But now it seems that's not the case at all.
In fact, the claim of a ten-thousand-year Useless Body might even be false. Not only is he already in the mid-stage of Body Forging, but he has also mastered a martial skill.
Chen Ze was wondering if the Floating Training Grounds had made a mistake that day. Could it be that this person is the peerless talent?
"Mercy?"
"Heh... those who kill will be killed. Don't you understand that principle?"
Lin Xuan laughed, feeling great as he looked at Chen Ze, who was almost crying.
At this moment, he also experienced the superiority that status brings.
This further stimulated his desire to become stronger.
If your fist is big enough, then you are the truth in this world.
"Bang!"
At this moment, Chen Ze hurriedly kowtowed to Lin Xuan: "Sir, it was Niu Fang! Niu Fang gave me fifty contribution points to do this! Sir, I was just blinded by greed, please forgive me this once!"
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Chen Ze spoke as he kowtowed frantically, not stopping even as blood streamed down his forehead.
"Fifty contribution points, that's quite a bit of capital to spend."
Lin Xuan's lips twitched. That's enough to exchange for a first-grade Qi Blood Pill, greatly increasing cultivation speed.
Lin Xuan had one more reason to kill Niu Fang.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Ze, who was about to faint from kowtowing, and his heart stirred.
"It's not impossible to let you go."
"Sir, please speak! Whatever conditions you have, as long as I can do it, I won't hesitate!"
Chen Ze felt relieved and hurriedly spoke.
He was a smart man; as long as he could survive, everything was negotiable.
"Five hundred contribution points to buy your own life."
Lin Xuan said leisurely.
Chen Ze's pupils shrank, and he was already cursing in his heart, Why don't you just rob me?
But on his face, he didn't dare to show anything, only forcing a bitter smile: "S-Sir, I, I don't have that much."
"Sir, I, I'm just a menial servant. Although I've earned some contribution points over the years, most of them have been spent on cultivation..."
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Then how much do you have?"
"Ah, this..."
Chen Ze hesitated for a second, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I, I only have three hundred. T-This is because I received fifty from Niu Fang before."
"Alright, deal!"
"Transfer the contribution points to me, and this matter is over. However, that doesn't exclude the possibility that I might challenge you in the Life and Death Arena later to avenge today's grievance. You better hurry up and cultivate. If we're at the same level, I think..."
"Killing you will be as easy as slaughtering a dog!"
Lin Xuan's words made Chen Ze's heart sink.
At this moment, he regretted it immensely. Why did he let greed get the better of him and provoke such a killing god?
Now, all his savings could only buy temporary peace.
He didn't doubt Lin Xuan's words at all. The boost that a mastered martial skill gave to a cultivator was simply too great.
He had been in the sect for nearly ten years, and although he had cultivated to the late stage of Body Forging, his strongest martial skill was only at the proficient level.
The path of immortality placed too high a demand on aptitude, not to mention that they, as menial servants, didn't have much time to cultivate.
"Sir, I really know I was wrong. From now on, I'll serve you like a slave, just begging you to forgive me this once."
"Right, the contribution points. I can earn fifty contribution points every month, and I'll give them all to you, just begging you for mercy."
Chen Ze completely collapsed.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about killing Lin Xuan directly, but he wasn't sure he could do it.
Moreover, even if he really killed him, this holy land would definitely not tolerate him. He would die a miserable death.
"Tsk, so afraid of death, why are you even cultivating immortality?"
"Forget it, I can spare your life, but don't forget what you said."
Lin Xuan looked at Chen Ze with disdain, thinking that someone who cultivated to this extent would never achieve much in their life.
"Thank you, sir, thank you!"
Chen Ze hurriedly kowtowed twice, then stood up with a look of surprise, took out his disciple token, and transferred all the contribution points to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan checked the changes in the disciple token and smiled with satisfaction.
"Continue. Have someone bring the Wild Boar over, but I'm only responsible for killing it; you handle the rest."
"Ah?"
"Sir, there's no need for you to do that. I'll do it, I'll do it."
Chen Ze hurriedly said.
"Shut up. Didn't you hear me say I'll kill it?"
Lin Xuan said softly. That was a lot of time and Blood Essence; how could he let it go?
"Ah... this, yes, yes, please!"
Chen Ze said timidly, but he felt more and more afraid of Lin Xuan in his heart.
This guy is too bloodthirsty. Luckily, I know what's good for me, or I might really be done for one day.
At this moment, he hated Niu Fang even more.
"He should be dead by now! Hehe..." Niu Fang didn't know any of this. At this time, he muttered happily, then completely put Lin Xuan out of his mind.
Time flew by, and in the afternoon, Lin Xuan killed nine more Wild Boar, gaining a total of 33 years of time and a large amount of Blood Essence.
Adding the remaining time, he already had a full 72 years. He was inexplicably excited.
Honestly, this is the first time in my life I've been so rich.
"I wonder if it can support me in advancing my realm to the late Body Forging stage."
"Three days after entering, late Body Forging stage. Even Little Yu'er is probably not as good as me, right? Hahaha..."
After eating dinner, Lin Xuan left directly, already looking forward to how surprised Little Yu'er would be when she saw him.
He didn't return to the resting area but went straight to the Martial Pavilion.
"Elder, this disciple is here to exchange for martial skills."
The Pavilion Elder waved his hand, allowing Lin Xuan to enter the Martial Pavilion on his own.
Lin Xuan didn't waste any time and started picking on the first floor.
He now had 311 contribution points: three hundred from Chen Ze, ten from the dead Zhang Tao, and one from his task today.
So many contribution points were enough to exchange for a Yellow Grade mid-tier martial skill.
Lin Xuan now had enough time stored in the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, so he directly ignored those Yellow Grade low-tier martial skills.
After careful selection, he quickly settled on an explosive martial skill: Blood Rage.
Blood Rage, a Yellow Grade mid-tier martial skill, could make Blood Essence boil, increasing combat power in a short period of time.
Of course, Blood Rage had side effects. After using it, one would enter a period of weakness. It was a desperate measure.
I have the Soul Suppressing Pagoda. If I use the method of consuming time to recover, do I have the possibility of infinitely activating Blood Rage?
The thought flashed through Lin Xuan's mind, and he couldn't wait to go back and verify it
