Chapter 49

"Elder Luo, I'm also shocked. I think a genius like this shouldn't be buried in the Servant District."

"Perhaps this is the hope of our Divine Firmament's rise."

Xu Qin's voice rang out.

"You're right."

"Xu Qin, effective immediately, you are promoted to Outer Sect Grand Elder. You will oversee all Outer Sect affairs. From now on, report anything concerning Lin Xuan to me at once."

With a sweep of his hand, Luo Tongtian declared it directly.

Xu Qin froze for a moment, then excitement flooded his eyes.

"Thank you, Elder Luo!"

That was the position of Outer Sect Grand Elder. The resources he could obtain would far surpass what he had now.

Perhaps he could use this opportunity to soar ahead. In his lifetime, he might even have a chance to make a push for the third major realm.

At that moment, Xu Qin began to marvel at his own wisdom. If it had been anyone else, who would have bothered paying attention to a Useless Body of Ten Thousand Years?

"Mm! Go!"

Luo Tongtian spoke once more, then his figure vanished without a trace...

Xu Qin bowed deeply and respectfully toward the spot where Luo Tongtian had disappeared before leaving the Martial Pavilion with light, cheerful steps.

After vanishing, Luo Tongtian's figure appeared in a flash at Lin Xuan's resting place.

At that moment, Lin Xuan had just finished using the mastery-level Concealed Breath Stride.

The instant Luo Tongtian arrived, he stood rooted to the spot in a daze.

"Hm?"

Lin Xuan turned his head in confusion and immediately saw Luo Tongtian standing there with his mouth hanging open.

"Greetings, Elder Luo!"

Lin Xuan hurriedly bowed.

The next moment, he felt his body being drawn uncontrollably toward Luo Tongtian, and then his shoulders were seized.

Luo Tongtian looked at him as though he were a priceless treasure, as if he were staring at a naked beauty.

A chill ran through Lin Xuan's heart.

"Mastery level? How the fuck did you cultivate? A Mystic-Grade Low-Rank Movement Technique, and you mastered it in just a few days?"

At last, Luo Tongtian's flustered voice rang out.

Lin Xuan hurriedly twisted free before saying, "Elder, this disciple has encountered a few fortunate opportunities, so my cultivation is a little faster."

Of course, Lin Xuan silently added in his heart, I've cultivated for over sixty years.

This Useless Body of Ten Thousand Years truly was awful—pathetically weak.

If he had even first- or second-grade aptitude, the time required would probably have been greatly reduced.

"You think a little fortunate opportunity can explain this? Even if it was a fortunate opportunity, it would have to be at least an immortal's inheritance to give you this kind of aptitude."

Luo Tongtian rolled his eyes and cursed. He did not believe a single punctuation mark of Lin Xuan's words.

"Uh..."

Lin Xuan was left speechless, unsure how to explain himself.

Strictly speaking, he felt that the Soul Suppressing Pagoda was probably even more impressive than some so-called immortal's inheritance.

Naturally, Lin Xuan would never reveal that.

In any case, no one besides himself could detect the Soul Suppressing Pagoda's existence.

"Forget it, forget it. Everyone has their own secrets, and I can't be bothered to press you about it."

Luo Tongtian waved his hand, then continued, "Still, with your aptitude, staying in the Servant District is somewhat inappropriate."

"How about directly promoting you to the Inner Sect? Once you enter the Inner Sect, you'll receive the best resources. And for the upcoming Mystic Realm Trial, I can directly secure a spot for you as well."

"Thank you, Elder!"

Lin Xuan hurriedly thanked him, but then changed the subject. "Elder, resources actually aren't important to me."

"Hm?"

"What do you mean?"

Luo Tongtian was stunned.

"I really do have a Useless Body of Ten Thousand Years. Even if I take Qi Blood Pills, I can only absorb an extremely, extremely small portion of their medicinal power."

Lin Xuan answered truthfully.

"There's such a thing?"

"But... your cultivation speed is so fast, and your progress in comprehending martial skills is so fast too. Why exactly is that?"

Luo Tongtian found it utterly impossible to understand. He had never heard of such a thing in his entire life.

"Elder, before I entered the Holy Land, I was always slaughtering pigs. After entering the Holy Land, I was still slaughtering pigs."

"Later, when I went on missions with the outer sect disciples, I was also killing demon beasts."

Lin Xuan spoke slowly.

Luo Tongtian suddenly froze, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes. "You mean slaughter can make you grow stronger quickly?"

"Whether it's martial skills or cultivation?"

"Most likely, that's how it is." Lin Xuan gave an ambiguous answer.
