Over the next stretch of time, Lin Chuan and Ni Huanzhi roamed the restricted area of the Floating Spirit Hall, learning about this unknown continent.
He did not go out of his way to seize the energy within other people's Floating Spirit marks. According to Ni Huanzhi, he could do that outside as well. Having only just taken Green Mountain Hermit's mark, he did not want to attract too much attention. Thus, most of the time, he only acted passively, dealing with those who came looking for trouble themselves.
"Lord Azure Dragon, with your strength, taking first place on the mid-Nascent Soul Floating Spirit Heavenly List should be within easy reach. But why..." Ni Huanzhi asked in confusion.
Just moments ago, they had defeated a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator, yet Lin Chuan had not absorbed the energy from the Floating Spirit Hall mark on that person's arm. Instead, he had let Ni Huanzhi absorb it.
"It would be easy for me to raise my rank on the Floating Spirit Heavenly List. As long as I defeat a few cultivators at the great perfection stage of Nascent Soul, I can rise to first place among mid-Nascent Soul cultivators. There's nothing difficult about it," Lin Chuan said softly.
However, if an unknown rogue cultivator suddenly rose dramatically through the rankings—especially during a large-scale trial held by the Floating Spirit Hall—it would easily draw the attention of the most powerful force on the continent. That would not benefit Lin Chuan's subsequent plans.
"I understand." Ni Huanzhi nodded. Since they had recently defeated quite a few high-level cultivators, she had absorbed a considerable amount of mark energy as well. Her rank had now entered the top hundred among early-Nascent Soul cultivators, placing ninety-sixth. This was an achievement the Purple Rainbow Sword Sect had never attained
