Diffusion I

The tea served in the teahouse wasn't delivered by someone; it seemed to follow a certain program, brewing itself automatically and then flying over on its own.

After placing the teacup on the table, it bowed slightly to the two of them, then extended two small white hands, patted the large teapot, and gestured for them to pour tea.

Neither of them spoke for a moment.

Xiling Ghost was waiting for Lin Hui to make a decision; she had come here with a heavy heart.

Originally, I kept my extremely Yin body to sell for a good price to a powerful figure, but... after ascending, I realized that powerful figures didn't need it at all. Now, I've finally encountered someone like Lin Hui. His physique and soul are both extremely Yang, and he absolutely needs someone like me to balance them out. In addition, he seems to have some real skills, as he was able to enter the peaceful and stable Guangxin Hall right from the start.

So she took it to heart.

Lin Hui, on the other hand, had a different set of considerations.

In fact, his so-called energy level improvement no longer follows the traditional path of slowly cultivating his main cultivation technique. He doesn't even have a main cultivation technique. The upper limit of the main cultivation technique in the Nine Heavens Gate is only what Teacher Seven Extinctions is like now.

This means that back then, the Nine Heavens Gate was probably just a small force in this area, and the Thirteen Ancestors were most likely thirteen minor figures banding together for mutual support and protection.

Although it might be impolite to say this to my teachers, it seems that this is very likely the truth.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that things have changed here in recent years.

However, the spread of Wind Energy still requires a suitable outlet like the Xiling Ghost.

He quickly made up his mind.

"To be honest, I don't have any connections. I was only assigned here because I paid with a very valuable item to get preferential treatment."

At this point, he saw a hint of despair on Xiling Ghost's face, and then his tone changed again.

"However, while I can't help you through connections, I might have a way to improve your strength. It'll be a short-term boost, not a sustained one, so let me make that clear."

"Really!?" Xiling Ghost's eyes lit up, and her pale purple eyes actually lit up with a purple light in a physical sense.

Everyone knows how difficult it is for people at their level to improve their strength and combat effectiveness.

Because of materialism and the Fusion Faction, general advancement is of little significance to most people.

Because unless a significant advantage is gained, even the most sophisticated techniques will ultimately end in self-destruction.

Therefore, for the Fusion Faction, the self-destruction technique is the most valuable. Everyone will leave a part of their tissue to revive and regenerate, so the core issue is how to make the rest of the Avatar and soul play a greater role.

Therefore, Xiling Ghost assumed that the good thing Lin Hui had given him was the self-destruction technique.

But as Lin Hui gently described part of the power of Wind Energy, the joy on her face gradually subsided.

"Forgive my frankness, Brother Lin, but your secret technique doesn't seem to offer a significant boost."

She was telling the truth, because Lin Hui was describing the power of the Wind Disaster Energy, which had only been mixed with a tiny amount of Wind Energy. The increase was indeed not significant. Therefore, he still had another bargaining chip.

"That's not enough, of course. I also have a complete set of hand seal techniques here. You only need to meet a few conditions to master it completely and improve rapidly. It can enhance the overall protective capabilities of your physical body and soul, and at the same time, it can also improve your efficiency in controlling Disaster Energy." Lin Hui was referring to the now merged Wind Righteous Seal and Clear Source Dharma Body.

Xiling Ghost thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Okay, if it's really as good as you say, let's test it out. Once we're sure there are no problems, we can proceed with the transaction!"

"Okay." Lin Hui smiled.

Xiling Ghost laughed along.

After drinking a few sips of tea, Xiling Ghost got up to pay the bill and left together.

Because of time constraints, neither of them lingered. Instead, they found an open space in the surrounding dark void, where Lin Hui demonstrated the amplification effects of the Nine Heavens Gate's Wind Righteous Seal and Clear Source Dharma Body, as well as the power changes after the Wind Energy was fused with the Disaster Energy.

When all these factors are combined, the overall increase can even reach around eleven times!

This greatly excited Xiling Ghost.

Although this improvement wasn't enough for her to become a master and run rampant in the Black Tree Abyss, it should at least be enough for her to barely protect herself and not die indefinitely. After exchanging information on how to obtain the Wind Righteous Seal and the Clear Source Dharma Body, Xiling Ghost repeated it more than ten times and soon voluntarily joined Clear Jade Mountain, becoming one of its unofficial members.

The position was given to him by Lin Hui, the sect leader, through flattery; it was just a temporary arrangement anyway.

But Xiling Ghost didn't seem to see it that way; instead, she completed the Clear Jade Mountain ritual with great seriousness and purity.

"Now that you've mastered the seal technique and given me the Wind Energy secret method, aren't you afraid I'll take the benefits and run away?" Xiling Ghost looked at Lin Hui with slight surprise at the end.

"It's okay, I believe you, you're not that kind of person," Lin Hui said sincerely.

"Although I'm not human, your statement... doesn't sound like that of a Fusion Faction at all..." Xiling Ghost sighed. She glanced around, then suddenly waved her hand and scattered.

Suddenly, the surrounding area solidified and coalesced into a pale white, bone-like palace.

Although the palace was quite simple and crude, it was something she had created casually.

But it's enough for now.

"Come on," she said, her long hair flowing freely, her clothes dissolving naturally as she flew towards Lin Hui.

"It's best not to exceed two seconds, otherwise you might get injured. This is my first time doing that."

... Although Lin Hui could understand, he was still somewhat taken aback by these words.

Because at their level, even the slowest ones can still intercourse hundreds of thousands of times in a very short time, so what Xiling Ghost said naturally makes sense.

To be honest, he's a germaphobe and doesn't know if the other person has any health problems or potential issues.

So, with a thought, some of the blood inside Lin Hui's body flew out from his pores, transforming into a blurry human figure in mid-air. It flew closer and gently enveloped Xiling Ghost.

Two seconds later, as a surge of intense pleasure spread through him, Xiling Ghost's body rapidly glowed with purple light.

A large amount of purple light almost dyed her body a deep purple, and countless dark auras gushed out from her pores, forming a black, hideous ghost face in the surrounding air.

The ghost face paused for a moment, then suddenly pounced into the body that Lin Hui had separated.

Buzz!

In an instant, the Immortal Fire within Lin Hui's soul surged and boiled, as if he had consumed some powerful tonic.

He had just broken through the materialization of his divine soul, and at this moment, the three core Nether Seed were rotating in a triangle.

Having absorbed the extreme yin energy of the Xiling Ghost, the three Nether Seed immediately began to expand and grow at a visible speed.

Originally, each rotation of the three Nether Seeds together could generate a wisp of materialized divine soul power, allowing Lin Hui to freely condense Disaster Energy into material. But now, after expanding and growing larger, the time it takes for the three Nether Seed to rotate once remains the same, but the amount of materialized divine soul power generated each time has doubled. In other words, it has become three times the original output.

This is still a permanent change.

This made Lin Hui understand what Xiling Ghost meant; she wasn't just flattering him, and the extreme yin energy was indeed very beneficial to him.

In just that one move, compared to the speed the teacher mentioned for him and the other conventional Fusion Faction, at least thousands of years of hard work would have been saved.

pity.

For the Fusion Faction, a thousand years is nothing.

Furthermore, since very few people require an extremely Yin constitution, the value that Xiling Ghost has always retained is not very useful.

After fully absorbing the information, the two quickly separated to assess their own condition. Both were very satisfied with the transaction.

Especially Xiling Ghost, although she didn't get a promotion, her strength improved so much that it indirectly achieved her goal. In fact, the improvement was even better than she expected.

"Then I wish you all the best in the future, fellow Daoist," Lin Hui said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

"Thank you." Xiling Ghost had sensed Lin Hui's resistance from their previous interactions. Without saying much, she clasped her hands in a fist salute and turned to leave. As she left, she carried with her a wisp of calamity energy mixed with Wind Energy Disaster Energy that Lin Hui had separated from her; it remained to be seen how it would go.

Lin Hui watched the other person leave without saying anything more.

Only after he had completely disappeared did he disperse the surrounding bone palace, leap into the air, and vanish into thin air.

He had to get back to work. After all, he was now a typical, honest, and well-connected person who Fusion Faction.

Black Tree Abyss.

Giant, unknown rivers of matter, resembling black trees, meandered through the air, collecting all sorts of debris and remnants that fell from above. Countless stubborn fragments of matter that couldn't be broken down by the Wind Disaster's Disaster Energy in a short time were attracted, swallowed up, and then completely disappeared by these tree-like rivers of unknown matter.

Nobody knows where they went, because these black trees are off-limits.

Everyone who entered has disappeared.

When Xiling Ghost returned from his mission and entered the Blood Battle Hall of Black Tree Abyss, he saw a woman in a skirt armor with her upper body exposed, nestled in the arms of a bull-headed giant, seemingly saying something in a soft voice, as they slowly walked into the Blood Battle Hall together.

"Xiling Ghost? It's been a while. Why is your Yin energy gone? Did you sell your body to some nobody?" The woman in the armored skirt had a pure face and pale skin, but her speech was completely different, smooth and eerie.

"That's true. Anyway, your Yin energy isn't worth much. You can sell it to someone and get some benefit." The woman in the armored skirt chuckled. Her name was Xu Shenlian. She and Xiling Ghost were from the same clan and came from the same place. However, she was open-minded and had broken her extremely Yin body many years ago.

Before his ascension, he was looked down upon by Xiling Ghost and others. Now that he's here, old grudges have resurfaced, and he naturally seizes every opportunity to take revenge. "You're such a grown man, already at the material level, how can you still be so childish?" Xiling Ghost said without changing his expression.

"I won't avenge my wrongs, I won't hold grudges. So what if it's childish? As long as I'm happy and content," Xu Shenlian said, completely unconcerned. "I've heard that the Fire Blaze Clan gives birth to at least ten thousand offspring per litter. When you're having sex with them, have you ever thought about whether you could produce that many?" Xiling Ghost retorted sarcastically.

The Fireblaze Clan refers to the Minotaur.

"It's just ten thousand heads, right? I'll just dismantle their bodies and build blood nests then," Xu Shenlian said casually.

"Fine, that's ruthless." Xiling Ghost was speechless.

Since they've already put it that way, what else can she say?

A blood nest is the complete disintegration of one's own body into flesh and blood cells, which are then remodeled into a giant breeding nest.

This will not only consume a large amount of one's own spirit and body, but will also leave one in a relatively vulnerable state for a long time.

"As for you, you gave yourself away for nothing, and it seems you didn't get anything in return... How pitiful." Xu Shenlian smiled.

Xiling Ghost smiles.

Call!!

In an instant, she lunged forward, her right hand rapidly expanding and growing larger, her five fingers transforming into a gigantic White Bone claw, which crashed down towards Xu Shenlian.

Countless unknown substances targeting Xu Shenlian instantly coalesced at the tip of the claws.
