Reborn, Innate Soul Power Level Ten

At this moment, time seemed to have lost all meaning.

Even Lu Lin had no idea how much time had passed.

Lu Lin slowly opened his eyes. A faint golden gleam flashed through them before vanishing.

Lu Lin straightened up and stretched lazily.

A gentle, soothing aura flowed through Lu Lin's body, making him feel incomparably comfortable.

This was the residual power left behind by the Aromatic Silk Beauty's Origin Core.

However, as time passed, this power would eventually fade away.

Lu Lin let out a long breath, his eyes having completely regained their clarity.

A feeling of joyous tears welled up within him.

Along the way, whether it was his incarnation or his true body, the cultivation process might not have been agonizing enough to wish for death, but it had certainly been torturous enough to make one wish they were dead.

When his true body awakened the Golden Finger at six years old, splitting his consciousness had nearly caused a mental collapse.

When his incarnation received the true body's secret technique at six years old and absorbed a three-thousand-year Purple Soul Ring beyond his level, the suffering involved was enough to bring tears just thinking about it.

His true body's First Soul Ring had also been a six-hundred-year Yellow Soul Ring absorbed beyond his level, and it had been no pleasant experience either.

Only when he had taken the Mysterious Water Pill before had he felt even slightly more comfortable.

Yet absorbing the Aromatic Silk Beauty had been incomparably pleasant and utterly relaxing.

What kind of miserable days had he been living through before?!

Nan Yunheng had finished absorbing the Aromatic Silk Beauty's origin before him.

When she sensed that Lu Lin had awakened, Nan Yunheng cast him a sidelong glance with her beautiful eyes. She looked at him without giving anything away, but said nothing.

On the ground, Ji Ming, the black-clad incarnation, was sitting cross-legged as he absorbed the origin essence of another Ninety Thousand Years Immortal Herb, the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

Lu Lin's gaze fell upon Ji Ming, his incarnation.

His expression froze slightly before returning to normal.

His consciousness existed simultaneously within both his true body and incarnation. Ji Ming was absorbing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's origin essence.

Naturally, he knew this perfectly well.

But if he was putting on an act, he had to see it through.

Lu Lin walked toward where Si Yuan Ye stood.

Si Yuan Ye had naturally noticed Lu Lin waking up at once, but most of his attention was currently focused on his personal disciple.

It had not been Ji Ming who had proposed absorbing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew—although Lu Lin knew this Immortal Herb suited Ji Ming best, it would have been difficult to explain.

It was already hard enough to explain why Lu Lin had suggested the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

If he suggested the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew as well, Si Yuan Ye would find it impossible not to grow suspicious.

In the end, he had used a somewhat opportunistic yet simple and brutal method.

He directly asked the Immortal Grade Plant System Soul Beasts here.

After all, besides these Immortal Grade Plant System Soul Beasts, who could possibly understand their own effects better than they did?

Under Si Yuan Ye's threat, the Fragrant Aromatic Silk, their leader, had no choice but to make the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew hand over its origin as well.

Noticing Lu Lin approach, Si Yuan Ye turned his head. A faint smile appeared on his face as he handed Lu Lin a jade slip.

"Little Friend Lu, this contains the cultivation method of my Body Sect."

"This method is not difficult to cultivate. Once you have learned it, Little Friend Lu, you must not pass it on to anyone else."

Lu Lin was delighted at his words and accepted the jade slip from him.

"Thank you, Senior."

"Please rest assured, Senior. Lu Lin will never reveal this place to anyone else."

Si Yuan Ye merely smiled without speaking.

In truth, even if Lu Lin passed it on to others, it would not be much of a problem.

As he had said, the Body Sect's cultivation method was not particularly effective for Soul Masters without a Body Martial Soul.

Its cultivation speed might even be slower than that of some advanced Meditation Methods.

As for its effects of improving one's physique and strengthening one's vital energy and blood, other natural treasures, such as Whale Rubber and Mysterious Water Pills, could achieve the same result, perhaps even more directly.

Though Si Yuan Ye did not believe Lu Lin would break his word.

As for Lu Lin revealing information about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes to the people of Shrek after leaving...

Heh. Did they really think Si Yuan Ye was someone to be trifled with?

However, there was no need to say any of this aloud.

Si Yuan Ye thought this as he looked Lu Lin up and down.

Though he was somewhat curious about what changes Lu Lin had undergone after absorbing Aromatic Silk Beauty's Origin Core, he ultimately did not ask.

After all, Lu Lin was not his disciple. Asking so abruptly would naturally be crossing a line.

Lu Lin, of course, knew perfectly well about the changes to himself.

They were exactly as he had expected.

Aromatic Silk Beauty's Origin Core had successfully remade him from the inside out, raising his Innate Soul Power from level five to level ten.

This meant that he was no longer behind geniuses like Qin He, Dai Xichen, and Long Chenyu. They now stood on the same starting line.

He had even surpassed them in some respects.

However, the remaining energy of Aromatic Silk Beauty had still been absorbed by his Martial Soul.

His Soul Power Level had only risen from the peak of level twenty-one to Level 26.

Although the appearance of his Pure Fire Green Lotus Martial Soul had not changed, unlike Ning Rongrong, whose Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda had evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, it had gained a trace of Aromatic Silk Beauty's characteristics.

In other words, Lu Lin could now use his own Martial Soul to evolve the quality of another person's Martial Soul.

However, the requirements for doing so were extremely harsh.

And unlike Aromatic Silk Beauty, the process would not produce immediate results.

It required long years of gradual guidance.

It was also ineffective against Martial Souls that were already top-tier.

For example, it would have no effect on the avatar's Dark Demon Dreadclaw Bear Martial Soul or Long Chenyu's Holy Light Dragon Martial Soul.

Relatively speaking, this ability was somewhat useless.

As for whether it would work on the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, that could only be known through testing. Lu Lin did not dare make any claims yet.

But for himself, Lu Lin was equivalent to possessing an Aromatic Silk Beauty that would never wither, though its effects had been weakened countless times over.

Combined with the Body Sect's Flawless Body Casting Art, it could further and continuously improve his physique in subtle, imperceptible ways.

Given enough time, reaching the realm of the "Flawless Golden Body" was not impossible.

Lu Lin was lowering his head in thought when he suddenly sensed someone's gaze upon him.

He abruptly looked up and found that it was his Junior Sister, Nan Yunheng.

The instant their eyes met, Nan Yunheng froze slightly.

Then her eyes curved into crescents, and a lovely smile appeared on her face.

She immediately looked away and lowered her eyes in silence, though her mind was filled with—

Her Martial Soul was "Intent."

Formless and intangible, her five senses far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Perhaps because she had absorbed Aromatic Silk Beauty's Origin Core alongside him, she always felt that her junior brother and Lu Lin shared some indescribable connection.

Yet their personalities, appearances, Martial Souls, and cultivation talents were clearly all different.

They were obviously two different people.

Nan Yunheng did not know where this strange feeling came from.

Though Nan Yunheng was puzzled, she did not reveal this discovery in front of everyone.

Lu Lin naturally could not have imagined that, even with the Avatar Panel concealing things, Si Yuan Ye had been unable to see the connection between him and his avatar, yet his Junior Sister had noticed a faint trace of it.

Lu Lin found it somewhat strange.

Having Si Yuan Ye intervene this time had been a last resort.

His main body would not have any further contact with Si Yuan Ye's people in the future, so it should be fine.

A moment later.

The avatar, Ji Ming, who had finished absorbing the origin essence of Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, slowly opened his eyes.

From the outside, he had not changed much either.

But upon closer inspection, one would find that Ji Ming's eyes had become incomparably deep.

His originally stern face now carried a touch more gentleness.

Lu Lin was not greedy.

Though the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes contained many Immortal Herbs, taking them all in one sweep was not necessarily a good thing.

What mattered most was compatibility with one's own attributes.

After absorbing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Lu Lin sensed it clearly.

Although his incarnation was still only at three rings, its Soul Power Level had not increased, but its Mental Power had already surged to the realm of a Five Ring Soul King.

This era did not yet have an accurate method for classifying Mental Power.

Lu Lin could only make such an estimate.

Of course, more importantly, the incarnation's Necromancer's Heavy Eyes martial soul had also undergone a subtle change.

At the very least, it no longer made him look like an Evil Soul Master whenever he used his martial soul.
