Chapter 14

Leaving the feeding garden, the time inside the Soul Suppressing Pagoda had reached 73.5 years.

Lin Xuan directly entered the Soul Suppressing Pagoda with a thought, spending 5.5 years to completely absorb the Blood Essence he had just obtained.

His mid-Body Tempering cultivation had improved significantly, and he seemed to have touched the bottleneck of late-Body Tempering, but unfortunately, he couldn't break through.

Remaining time: 68 years.

"Niu Fang, you better not disappoint me. A handyman warden must have a lot of perks, right? If I kill you, everything you have will be mine."

"Right now, I still need a saber technique, a movement technique, and a handy mortal weapon."

Sixty-eight years gave Lin Xuan a lot of confidence.

Now, even if it's a high-Yellow Grade martial skill, he's confident he can directly cultivate it to the Great Accomplishment level.

By then, no one in this handyman area would be able to fight him. After all, those in the Blood Refining Realm are already qualified to become outer sect disciples.

Just as Lin Xuan was heading towards the Life and Death Arena, Niu Fang also received the news of the challenge.

"Lin Xuan wants to challenge my position, and it's a life-and-death battle? He's eyeing everything I have?"

"Doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, a mere Useless Body…"

"Wait… what is Chen Ze doing? He's still not dead?"

Niu Fang was furious when he heard the news, but then his face was filled with astonishment.

"Damn it, taking the benefits and not doing the job, Chen Ze, you're good. Once I kill Lin Xuan, it's your death."

Niu Fang didn't believe that Lin Xuan had completely subdued Chen Ze, that was simply a fantasy.

If he saw how respectful Chen Ze was to Lin Xuan now, he would probably be scared to death.

At the same time, in the outer sect area, two figures in white robes stepped forward.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman, but the girl's face was full of expectation and joy, while the man's face was full of arrogance.

"A True Disciple? Why are True Disciples coming to the outer sect?"

Wherever they passed, countless people bowed and saluted.

The golden disciple tokens on their waists were indeed too eye-catching.

True Disciples, due to their cultivation level, also have the status of inner sect disciples or core disciples.

But regardless of which status, in this outer sect, they are like gods.

"Ninth Junior Sister, that Lin Xuan is just a Useless Body. He only got in because you begged the master to show mercy. Why are you so obsessed with him?"

The man suddenly spoke, his words full of disdain for Lin Xuan.

The girl paused, her happy face slightly sinking: "Eighth Senior Brother, Lin Xuan is not a Useless Body, I firmly believe it."

"In the future, I hope Senior Brother won't say such things again, Junior Sister doesn't like to hear it."

The girl was none other than Yu Bing.

That peerless face was gently covered by a veil, but her temperament at this moment was countless times more outstanding than when she was at the Floating Training Grounds.

Wherever she went, countless people turned their heads and stopped, as if they had seen a beautiful scene on earth.

The man with a proud face was Liu Ruyan's eighth True Disciple, a ninth-grade talent, Lu Xun. He had reached the second minor realm of the second major realm, the Spirit Solidification Realm, in three years since entering the sect!

Lu Xun nodded slightly: "Useless Bodies are even rarer than peerless talents. It's not like there haven't been any in history, but their achievements in life are at most mid-to-late Body Tempering."

"An ant-like existence!" Lu Xun added in his heart after saying that.

He wouldn't say these words, lest it would cause Yu Bing's displeasure.

After all, this little junior sister's appearance and peerless beauty had already been deeply imprinted in his heart.

In his opinion, no one but himself was worthy of her.

"I will protect Lin Xuan!" Yu Bing gritted her teeth and left quickly after leaving a sentence.

She didn't want to entangle with Lu Xun anymore. After these few days, she was no longer a cultivation newbie.

She knew very well that talent determines everything, and the only thing in this world that cannot be changed is aptitude.

But she never gave up. In Liu Ruyan's words, if there isn't one in this realm, there will definitely be one in the next realm.

For no other reason than that the next realm is the ultimate destination for all cultivators, the world where immortals live.

There, there are infinite possibilities.

She would not give up any chance to become stronger. In her lifetime, she must ascend to immortality and change Lin Xuan's fate against the heavens.

This was Yu Bing's only ideal.

It's just a pity that Liu Ruyan didn't tell her some things, that is, no one in this realm has been able to ascend to immortality for tens of thousands of years.

Lu Xun slowly followed Yu Bing's back, not speaking anymore, but his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was planning something.

At this time, in the handyman area, a message spread like wildfire.

"Lin Xuan, the ten-thousand-year Useless Body, challenges the handyman warden, Niu Fang…"

"What? Is he courting death?"

"Holy crap, he just offed that Zhang Tao from the outer sect yesterday?"

"Damn... Zhang Tao died unjustly. Just one more day, and Lin Xuan would've been the one dead."

"Holy crap, he got lucky and achieved a breakthrough, stepping onto the path of immortality, but did he really think no one would dare kill him? Or did he think he was so talented that someone would protect him?"

"Hahaha... He has absolutely no self-awareness. Let's go, let's go, let's go watch the show at the Life and Death Arena."

Yu Bing and Lu Xun quickly overheard this conversation as well.

"Wait a moment..."

Yu Bing felt a pang of anxiety and quickly stopped a menial disciple.

The disciple's pupils instantly contracted when he saw Yu Bing's white robes, followed by the golden disciple token at her waist.

"Disciple greets True Disciple! Whatever orders you have, Senior Sister, this disciple will carry them out even at the cost of my life!"

"You, you said Lin Xuan is challenging a menial affairs elder? W-what exactly is going on?"

Yu Bing asked anxiously.

The disciple didn't dare to hide anything and told her everything.

"Overestimating himself!"

"Does he really think he can use a Useless Body to challenge an immortal?"

After listening, Lu Xun only thought Lin Xuan was an idiot and couldn't understand why Yu Bing would take a liking to someone like that.

But it's good he's dying, at least I won't have to lift a finger.

Lu Xun thought to himself.

"Lin Xuan-gege is already at the early stage of Body Tempering? I knew Lin Xuan-gege wasn't useless!"

"No, you said Elder Niu is at the late stage of Body Tempering, how can Lin Xuan-gege challenge him?"

"Do you know where Lin Xuan-gege is? Tell me quickly..."

Yu Bing's little mind was racing, and her emotions changed countless times in an instant.

The menial disciple was going numb from hearing her call him 'Lin Xuan-gege' over and over, and his jealousy was about to explode.

"Judging by the time, the challenge is about to start. True Disciple can go to the Life and Death Arena to find... Lin, Senior Brother Lin."

The menial disciple finally said.

"Okay, thank you!"

Yu Bing's figure turned into a phantom and rushed out, her speed astonishing.

"That's at least the mid-stage of Body Tempering, right? Is she the one with unparalleled talent? Too terrifying."

The menial disciple watched Yu Bing's departing figure, his eyes full of envy.

"Slap!"

But at this moment, a slap directly knocked him to the ground.

"Don't look at what you shouldn't!"

Lu Xun took a step of more than ten meters, and his faint voice floated back.

The menial disciple wanted to cry but had no tears
