Considering the sky, Lin Le sat in meditation, feeling that he could directly enter the Fourth Zen today.
Dark clouds gathered, thunder rumbled, and suddenly silver lightning danced, bringing lightning fire to the world.
Lin Le suddenly woke up, his face pale for a few breaths.
After his complexion returned to normal, Lin Le couldn't help but grin, "No wonder they have to cultivate either the Huangting or the Spiritual Platform at the Heavenly Gate. If it weren't for the support of essence and Qi, no one could endure a cultivation method that depletes them every time they refine Vital Energy."
Lightning fire refining the soul, it truly was lightning fire refining the soul. One wrong move and there was a real risk of the spirit and soul scattering.
This was even his own lightning fire, which was somewhat controllable. If it were the natural lightning fire of heaven and earth.
Lin Le couldn't help but look up at the sky. That would truly be a case of finding life in the midst of death.
Fortunately, after the Fourth Zen, every refinement yielded significant benefits.
Lin Le touched his brow. After another thirty to forty times, no, it should be about ten times, he would be able to open the Mud Pill.
Using the Inner Vision Divine Ability to observe his Inner Scenery, Lin Le consumed today's Concentrated Divine Dew and immediately felt his spirit and soul become exceptionally clear.
A single day's effort was equivalent to several days of his previous work.
Lin Le sensed his Qi Sea, which seemed to be on the verge of overflowing. It would either be tomorrow or the day after.
Casually tidying up the room, Lin Le didn't bother with niceties and directly lay down on the broken wooden bed to sleep.
However, as the bright moon moved west, Lin Le suddenly opened his eyes and roared, "Who!"
As soon as he opened his eyes, Lin Le saw a white shadow lunging at him.
Lin Le was startled, thinking it was that large white snake trying to eat him, but upon closer inspection, it was actually a ferocious-looking woman, no, a female ghost!
Seeing the way the woman floated towards him, Lin Le knew he had encountered a ghost.
Circulating his Blood Qi, Lin Le struck out with his palm.
His Blood Qi surged out of his body, striking the female ghost.
"Ah!" A pained cry came out. The female ghost hadn't expected Lin Le to possess the ability of Blood Qi projection, completely different from previous Martial Masters.
Sensing that things were not going well, she wanted to retreat immediately.
But how could Lin Le let her go? He himself quite missed the Earthly Dao's merit.
With a leap, Lin Le blocked her path even faster than she could move. Then, with Blood Qi imbued in his hand, he grabbed the female ghost by the neck.
"I ask, you answer. Answer honestly, or I will destroy you immediately, preventing you from reincarnating!" Lin Le said coldly.
However, the female ghost opposite him seemed like a mindless beast, only struggling desperately, showing no intention of responding to Lin Le.
No consciousness? Lin Le frowned and began to chant the Sutra for Rebirth.
After chanting it once, the female ghost suddenly exploded, turning into a ball of mist, about to dissipate.
However, Lin Le inhaled through his nose and mouth, and all the mist flowed into his body.
But this was not Lin Le's intention; it was instinctual.
Lin Le observed his Inner Scenery with his Inner Vision Divine Ability. His merit from the Earthly Dao increased by two points, and a drop of gray liquid appeared on the lotus leaf where the Concentrated Divine Dew resided.
It was Soul Strengthening Dew, refined from soul power.
Choosing to use the Soul Strengthening Dew, Lin Le didn't feel his mind clear up. Instead, he felt a slight dizziness, as if something had been stuffed into his head.
However, this feeling quickly dissipated, much like how a person's body consumes food after they are full.
"I wonder what it's useful for?" Lin Le shook his head, not dwelling on it, but instead focusing on another matter: the Sutra for Rebirth was indeed effective.
"If the Sutra for Rebirth from my past life was useful, perhaps others are too." Lin Le carefully recalled a passage and mentally recited a mantra.
"Heaven and Earth, Xuan Zong, Myriad Qi's Root. Cultivate for eons, attain my divine ability. Golden Light appears swiftly, protecting the true person. Urgently, as the law commands."
But no anomaly occurred, and Lin Le didn't feel any of his Yang Qi or Blood Qi being depleted.
Useless? Lin Le frowned and recited it again, this time reading it normally.
Still useless.
Is it because the timing is wrong? Lin Le glanced at the sky.
What he had just recited was the Golden Light Divine Mantra. This was both a spell and a cultivation method. To begin, one generally had to enter meditation at dawn during the Hour of the Rabbit and recite it continuously for twenty-one days.
Let's try another divine mantra, Lin Le recited: "Dan Zhu's mouth is divine, expelling filth and banishing miasma. The tongue god is righteous, connecting life and nourishing the spirit. Luo Qian's teeth are divine, warding off evil and protecting the true. The throat god is a tiger, the Qi god guides the fluids. The heart god is Dan Yuan, allowing me to connect with the true. Contemplate the spirit and refine the liquid, and Dao Qi will eternally exist. Urgently, as the law commands."
After reciting it, Lin Le felt his mouth and teeth refreshed, generating a divine nectar within.
It's useful!
This made Lin Le somewhat anticipate the effects of the Golden Light Divine Mantra.
Glancing at the sky, Lin Le sat in meditation, waiting for the Hour of the Rabbit to arrive.
When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone upon the earth, Lin Le visualized golden light and silently recited the Golden Light Divine Mantra.
After reciting it forty-nine times, Lin Le felt a divine light appear within his body.
He opened his eyes and looked at his finger. A point of golden light shone at his fingertip.
"It's done already?"
Lin Le was surprised internally as he retracted the golden light back into his body.
He carefully felt the changes within him. The golden light had settled in his Qi Sea, and the feeling of it being about to overflow gradually dissipated. In its place was a sense of solidity.
Qi liquefaction!
Lin Le understood immediately. With a thought, all the top-grade Yin Qi accumulated on the lotus leaf entered his body.
Since he had achieved Qi liquefaction ahead of schedule, there was no reason to keep this Yin Qi.
The Qi Gathering Art circulated, and the surging Yang Qi swallowed the Yin Qi. Even though the top-grade Yin Qi was like a stubborn rock, it couldn't withstand the ceaseless impact of the Yang Qi.
Yin and Yang merged, water and fire complemented each other. Lin Le felt the solidity in his dantian increase further.
It wasn't until the Hour of the Dragon that Lin Le finished digesting all the Yin Qi.
He stood up, stretched, and headed out with his spear.
Glancing left and right, Lin Le sat down at a breakfast stall. "Ten baskets of steamed buns, please."
After saying that, a little silver treasure was placed on the table.
The breakfast stall owner said nervously, "Young Hero, I only have two baskets of steamed buns left."
At this moment, Lin Le looked like a sturdy, well-built man of one meter eighty. Combined with the killing aura he exuded, anyone who saw him would think he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
It was normal for the breakfast stall owner to be nervous; he was afraid Lin Le would smash his small shop if he was displeased.
"Two baskets are fine," Lin Le waved his hand. "Bring whatever else you have. If you have extra, go buy some from other breakfast stalls for me."
"Okay," the breakfast stall owner took the little silver treasure and then served Lin Le a basket of steamed buns. "Young Hero, please eat first. After you finish, I'll bring you another basket."
"Mhm," Lin Le nodded. Without minding the heat, he grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
While it might be an exaggeration to say his body was impervious to heat, boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius probably wouldn't even scald his skin, let alone these steamed buns.
In a short while, a tall pile of empty bowls had accumulated next to Lin Le.
A man walked up to Lin Le and cupped his fists. "Little brother, you have a great appetite. May I ask which esteemed sect you hail from?"
"No sect, no school," Lin Le poured a bowl of wontons directly into his mouth, finishing them in a few gulps. He glanced at the man. "If you have something to say, say it. Don't disturb my meal."
"Little brother, you seem like a straightforward person," the man said. "Then I'll get straight to the point. The town is currently organizing a demon-slaying team. You look like a highly skilled individual, so I was wondering if you'd be interested in helping the weak, slaying demons, and eradicating evil?"
