The Giant Demon Race possessed extremely formidable bodies. They served the same purpose as a Star Compass, yet were far more powerful, making them the finest means of traveling through the Starry Sky.
Moreover, the bodies of the Giant Demon Race were unaffected even in places that cultivators could not pass through.
Thus, within the Cultivation Alliance, those Great Divine Ability Cultivators were willing to pay an enormous price to obtain a member of the Giant Demon Race as a mount.
If he could obtain a Giant Demon Race expert as a mount, it would naturally bring Lin Che nothing but benefits.
After all, he still had to travel to the Immortal Realm. Without something like a Star Compass, crossing the Rain Immortal Realm would be nearly impossible.
Even Nascent Soul Transformation stage experts would find it difficult to make the crossing. One misstep could result in their souls scattering and their bodies perishing.
Lin Che arrived at Li Muwan's room. It had once been plain and unremarkable, but ever since Li Muwan had arrived, it had gradually begun to feel like home.
A rich, delicate fragrance filled the room. It was not overpowering, yet it carried a gentle, soothing aura that refreshed the mind.
It was like morning dew in the mountains mingled with the fragrance of flowers and grass, and also like the fresh, elegant scent unique to Li Muwan herself.
The room was simply furnished but warm and inviting. Several pots of spirit herbs sat on the windowsill, their leaves lush and emerald green as they emitted faint spiritual energy.
A small incense burner rested on the table, where pale violet incense burned. Wisps of smoke rose slowly and spread throughout the room, lending it a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere.
Lin Che's gaze swept across the room before finally landing on a white dudou beside the bed.
The dudou was as thin as gauze, its fabric soft and delicate. Several exquisite lotus flowers were embroidered upon it, their petals slightly unfurled as though imbued with a touch of vitality.
A few tiny pearls adorned its edges, radiating a gentle luster that made it both elegant and tenderly feminine.
Lin Che shook his head slightly, his gaze resting on Li Muwan, who sat cross-legged. She was cultivating at the moment, and her cultivation had already come infinitely close to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage. It seemed she would break through before long.
Seemingly hearing the movement, Li Muwan slowly opened her eyes. When she saw Lin Che, a gentle smile appeared on her delicate face.
"Senior Brother~" Li Muwan ran barefoot from the bed and looked at Lin Che. "Senior Brother, did you break through to the middle Soul Formation Stage?"
"Mm, I just broke through to the middle stage." Lin Che sat down in a chair and personally put Li Muwan's shoes on for her. "Don't run around on the floor barefoot in the future. You'll catch a chill easily."
"Got it, Senior Brother~"
Li Muwan's pretty face gradually reddened.
Only then did Li Muwan remember the white dudou she had hung beside the window. She hurriedly jumped down from the chair and put all the dudous by the window into her Storage Ring.
Lin Che shook his head faintly. Then, with one hand held behind his back, he said calmly, "Since you've finished cultivating, come with me to the Corpse Yin Sect."
"The Corpse Yin Sect?"
Li Muwan turned around, her face flushed red as she asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, what are we going to the Corpse Yin Sect for?"
"Not long ago, I sensed energy stirring within the Corpse Yin Sect. It should be a Giant Demon Race expert. If we can take it as a mount, it will be of great help to us in the future."
"A Giant Demon Race expert..." Li Muwan frowned slightly and murmured, "Has the Corpse Yin Sect gone mad? They actually imprisoned a Giant Demon Race expert. Aren't they afraid of being discovered and having their entire sect wiped out?"
"The Corpse Yin Sect's influence spans all of Vermillion Bird Star. The Zhao Kingdom is merely one of its branches. The strongest experts here are no more than Nascent Soul cultivators, but the Corpse Yin Sect in high-level cultivation countries is extremely powerful. There are quite a few Nascent Soul Transformation stage experts there."
Lin Che wrapped an arm around Li Muwan's slender waist, less than three feet around. Their bodies swayed slightly, and then they vanished slowly like ghosts.
The Corpse Yin Sect was located southwest of the Zhao Kingdom. Due to its cultivation methods, the region where the sect stood was exceptionally cold and gloomy. The land within a hundred li of the sect was barbaric wilderness, devoid of living creatures and littered everywhere with skeletons and bones.
Lin Che had long since grown accustomed to such sights. Given the nature of the Corpse Yin Sect, it was only natural that no living thing could survive within a hundred li.
Li Muwan wrinkled her nose, somewhat displeased by the smell of death here. "I never expected the stench within the Corpse Yin Sect to be so strong. No wonder it is a sect renowned for corpses."
"That is normal. This is how the Corpse Yin Sect cultivates. Having been steeped in the aura of corpses, it naturally became what it is today."
Li Muwan nodded.
If it were up to her, she would never come to such a place.
But with Senior Brother Lin Che by her side, she was naturally completely safe and had nothing to fear.
With one hand behind his back, Lin Che looked toward the Corpse Yin Sect and slowly said, "Ye Zizai, come out."
As an icy, bone-piercing voice rang out, Ye Zizai, the Corpse Yin Sect's sect master, who had been cultivating, immediately widened his eyes. His Nascent Soul felt as though it were being torn apart, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of scarlet blood.
"This energy... a Nascent Soul Transformation Expert..."
Ye Zizai did not dare delay. He immediately appeared above the Corpse Yin Sect. When he saw that the visitor was Lin Che, an expert of the Heng Yue Sect, he let out a heavy breath.
"This junior, Ye Zizai, greets Senior Lin Che. May I ask why Senior Lin Che has come here?"
Ye Zizai spoke in a humble, subservient tone. After all, the man before him was the strongest cultivator in the Zhao Kingdom. With a mere breath, he could make the entire Corpse Yin Sect's souls scatter and bodies perish.
Lin Che said indifferently, "I have taken an interest in something within your Corpse Yin Sect. If you do not wish for your sect to be destroyed, do not try to stop me. Otherwise, die."
Ye Zizai's expression turned ashen. He was even more bewildered as to why Lin Che had come to the Corpse Yin Sect. Although the sect possessed abundant resources, there could not be more than a few things that would catch the eye of a Soul Formation Stage expert.
Lin Che ignored Ye Zizai and swiftly led Li Muwan into the secret chamber where Wang Lin had once cultivated. The temperature there also plummeted rapidly, and it seemed that cultivators who cultivated within would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Inside the secret chamber, a cultivator sat cross-legged, seemingly cultivating there.
The cultivator was a woman. Her appearance was ordinary, but her face bore a resolute expression as she continuously absorbed the cold yin energy pouring from countless tiny holes in the surrounding walls.
Ye Zizai also arrived there and asked in even greater confusion, "Senior, this is a cultivation room for disciples of my Corpse Yin Sect. What could possibly be here that has caught your attention?"
Brothers, the new book has made the recommendations list. During the recommendation period, I hope you big shots won't stockpile chapters and will read through to the end every day.
