Although the Sage Remnant Soul wasn't a true Saint, his cultivation methods, insights, divine abilities, secret techniques, and more were all priceless treasures.
Especially in this age, when Saints were so rarely seen, they were even more precious!
Having a Saint as a master was something most geniuses wouldn't even dare dream of!
"Senior, this is a Sage Remnant Soul. Keeping him around would surely help you greatly with his cultivation methods, insights, and the like."
"Perhaps one day, when you become a Saint, he'll even be able to guide you!"
Lin Yang said.
He did want him, but he needed to be rational.
What if this was a test of his character? Wouldn't he be falling right into a trap?
"Help me?"
Hua Yunfei shook his head with a smile. Would someone of his cultivation really need a Sage Remnant Soul's help?
Help him take a step backward, perhaps?
"Enough. I have no need for any of this. Your talent is excellent, and you're about to become a core disciple of my sect, so I hereby bestow him upon you. Don't refuse."
Before Lin Yang could respond, Hua Yunfei brought two fingers together and beckoned, drawing the Sage Remnant Soul toward Lin Yang.
"Relax your mind and body. Don't resist."
Lin Yang immediately did as instructed. He sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and tried his best to relax.
Hua Yunfei placed his other hand on Lin Yang's crown, pressed down slightly, then swiftly pulled. A pale, translucent shadow was yanked out of Lin Yang's body!
It was Lin Yang's soul!
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! This Saint's about to live again!" The Sage Remnant Soul felt no qualms whatsoever. He was overjoyed.
Soon, his remnant soul collided with Lin Yang's soul.
Hiss!
White smoke billowed up between the two souls. Looking closely, Lin Yang's soul was too weak to merge with the remnant soul, and much of it was evaporating!
"Mmgh!"
Lin Yang's brow furrowed in pain, but he didn't dare forget Hua Yunfei's words. He guarded his heart, relaxed his whole body, and let his soul be controlled.
"Lin Yang... hang in there!"
Mu Qingqing watched anxiously, her nerves taut.
"What are you grinning at? Hurry up and suppress your soul strength! Do you have a death wish?"
Seeing the Sage Remnant Soul grinning, Hua Yunfei shot him a glance and barked.
"I want to live! I want to live!"
The Sage Remnant Soul hurriedly suppressed his soul strength, but it only slowed the evaporation of Lin Yang's soul a little.
At Meridian Opening Realm, Lin Yang's soul was simply too weak!
He hadn't reached Core Formation Realm or opened his sea of consciousness, so it was difficult for him to withstand a soul's possession and fusion like this.
But this was naturally no challenge for Hua Yunfei.
He exhaled a wisp of immortal energy, which drifted around Lin Yang's soul.
The evaporation stopped at once, and Lin Yang's soul began to merge perfectly with the Sage Remnant Soul!
"My soul strength has instantly reached the Purple Mansion Realm!"
The wisp of immortal energy Hua Yunfei had breathed out was a strand of his own soul power, which had only fused ever so slightly with Lin Yang's soul.
Yet it had instantly carried Lin Yang's soul strength past Core Formation Realm and raised it to the level of Purple Mansion Realm!
Lin Yang was secretly thrilled. This was an incredible opportunity!
Once the Sage Remnant Soul had successfully merged with Lin Yang, Hua Yunfei withdrew the immortal energy and sent Lin Yang's soul back into his body.
"Thank you, Senior!"
Lin Yang opened his eyes and hurriedly knelt to express his gratitude.
These two opportunities were no less than the grace of being reborn. They would surely affect the rest of his life!
"We're fellow disciples now. There's no need to thank me."
"If you truly want to show your gratitude, then work hard to repay the sect in the future."
Hua Yunfei waved a hand and spoke indifferently.
To him, it had been a trivial favor.
The Sage Remnant Soul was of no use to him, and there was even less reason to give him to Ye Bufan.
He could give Ye Bufan something better. There was no need for the Sage Remnant Soul to lead him astray.
Besides, the Sage Remnant Soul was in a special predicament. Unless he found a new host, he would soon dissipate.
Even with Hua Yunfei's Magic Power, he could only preserve him for a short time.
He had come out to recruit disciples, and the journey could take several months. The Sage Remnant Soul wouldn't last that long.
He needed a host to survive.
Since Lin Yang was willing to join Kaoshan Sect and had excellent talent, giving him the Sage Remnant Soul wouldn't be an insult to him.
On the contrary, with Lin Yang's talent already at Dao Tier Top Grade, the Sage Remnant Soul's help meant that his future achievements might not fall short of Ou Haochen's, who had originally possessed Sacred Tier Qualification!
Moreover, Lin Yang also had a special constitution. His future achievements would be limitless!
Someday, Kaoshan Sect Ancestral Tomb might well house another supreme pillar of the sect.
As he left Qingyang Town, Hua Yunfei scattered the surrounding heavenly secrets, preventing others from divining what had happened there.
Having learned from his previous experience with Dao Yi Immortal Sect, he was more cautious this time.
He cut off every risk of exposure.
Even the slightest possibility had to be nipped in the bud.
Afterward,
Hua Yunfei arrived at Blood Spirit Sect and wiped it out with a wave of his hand, then scattered the surrounding heavenly secrets as well.
Blood Spirit Sect had committed countless evils. It called itself righteous, yet its actions were utterly depraved.
Hua Yunfei wasn't especially kindhearted, but the horrors in Qingyang Town had chilled even him to the bone.
A wicked sect like that had no right to exist!
Destroying it would save countless lives!
With everything settled, the four boarded the flying boat and traveled through the void, once again setting off on their journey to recruit disciples.
"Whoa... what an extravagant flying boat! An ordinary person couldn't afford a treasure like this, could they?"
The Sage Remnant Soul stared wide-eyed and smacked his lips as he gazed at the tens of thousands of Spirit Stones in the engine room, nearly drooling.
In his previous life, he had been a Saint, but he'd been desperately poor. For the sake of a few resources, he'd often resorted to petty theft.
Even so, he'd nearly died several times fighting others over resources!
A thousand High-grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to a hundred thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones, or ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones!
They were piled there so carelessly, just to power the boat. How wealthy did you have to be?
Lin Yang licked his lips, his eyes just as fixed on the stones.
Though he had once been the young master of the Lin Family, he'd never seen a High-grade Spirit Stone, let alone so many of them.
How long could he cultivate with these?
"Lin Yang, you're about to drool."
Mu Qingqing covered her mouth, giggling.
"Hehe, sorry. I lost my composure."
Lin Yang smiled awkwardly. He wasn't normally like this, but after all his family had perished, his yearning for strength had grown immensely.
That was why he'd lost his composure at the sight of tens of thousands of High-grade Spirit Stones.
"Kid."
The Sage Remnant Soul leaned close to Lin Yang's ear and said, "Your talent isn't bad either. With Dao Tier Top Grade talent and the Thunder Battle Body, there are already very few people who can surpass you in this Age of Dharma's End..."
Lin Yang looked at him. "What do you mean?"
The Sage Remnant Soul grinned and glanced at Hua Yunfei, who sat at the front of the flying boat. "This man's strength is unfathomable, and he's so wealthy. Why not take him as your master?"
"Take him as my master?"
Lin Yang looked toward Hua Yunfei. How could he not have considered it?
He'd had the idea ever since he realized how unfathomably powerful Hua Yunfei was.
He knew his own talent was good, too.
But Hua Yunfei had saved him and was willing to take him back to the sect. If he asked for too much on top of that, he feared he'd only make Hua Yunfei resent him.
That would be turning a good thing into a bad one.
He wanted to cultivate at Kaoshan Sect for a while before considering it!
The Sage Remnant Soul said, "What are you afraid of? If you don't dare, I'll ask him for you!"
"Sure." Lin Yang nodded without hesitation.
"Uh..."
The Sage Remnant Soul hadn't expected Lin Yang to agree so readily. Somewhat awkwardly, he said, "This Saint thinks we should take our time with this!"
Clearly, he didn't dare either...
