Noticing the change in himself, Ye Lin Heart One delighted.
He had learned about this change from the books in the Scripture Depository.
When cultivators cultivate, whether they absorb Spirit Stone or various treasures of heaven and earth, and regardless of the Cultivation Method, they will always release some energy.
This energy will then spread throughout the body. The cells cannot absorb such a huge amount of energy at once, so they can only store it first.
Now that his Golden Core has been suppressed and there is no extra energy in his body, he has finally been able to stimulate the energy stored in his cells.
The benefit is that his body is getting stronger at a visible rate.
High Antiquity cultivators also used this method to temper their bodies, squeezing out as much power as possible to unleash their physical potential.
Feeling his body growing stronger little by little, Ye Lin felt even more motivated, and his speed naturally increased.
After several minutes of climbing, Ye Lin had successfully escaped the storm cluster.
At this moment, he had reached the center of the Ice-Breaking Cliff.
In the distance, a young man who had hung himself from an icicle watched this with admiration.
"Another fellow practitioner has joined us. To have honed one's body to such a degree, one's future achievements are sure to be remarkable."
He was an ascetic; in this era, cultivators who still chose to cultivate both their physical body and spiritual power simultaneously were called ascetics.
Halfway up, Ye Lin paused for only a few seconds before continuing to climb.
This time, however, the speed was clearly incredibly fast.
"We're almost there."
As he watched the top get closer and closer, Ye Lin felt a surge of excitement.
"Fellow Daoist, please stop."
Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
Ye Lin looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in hemp clothing hanging under an icicle, his eyes fixed on Ye Lin.
He was covered in wounds, barely breathing, and looked extremely miserable.
"Senior brother."
Upon seeing this person, Ye Lin clasped his hands in a respectful bow.
"Junior brother, I am Wang Wu, a peak Golden Core cultivator and the leader of Seventh Group. Please leave two of the Three Immortals Flower above to me."
Seeing Ye Lin's respectful attitude, Wang Wu nodded in satisfaction and then spoke.
He's been holding out on this Ice-Breaking Cliff for a month now. A whole month—who knows how he's managed to get through it?
Now, they are just one step away from reaching the summit and obtaining the Three Immortals Flower.
However, at this moment his condition was extremely miserable, and he was completely unable to move.
He thought that if he could hold on a little longer, the Three Immortals Flower would eventually be his, but he didn't expect that he would discover Ye Lin as soon as he survived the storm.
At this moment, Ye Lin's physical strength was only a hair's breadth away from the Golden Core stage, and his condition was excellent.
This made him feel a sense of urgency.
Having persevered this far, he didn't want to see the Three Immortals Flower picked by someone else.
"Excuse me, senior brother, treasures belong to the capable. I'll take these Three Immortals Flower."
Ye Lin refused without even thinking.
Firstly, upon seeing him, this person spoke to him in an almost commanding tone.
He was clearly asking for a favor, yet the person was ordering him around, which made him very uncomfortable.
By revealing his identity right from the start, he clearly intended to use his status to intimidate others.
Moreover, he didn't mention a word about compensating himself, clearly trying to get something for nothing.
Moreover, the man immediately asked for two plants, which made him feel disgusted.
"Junior brother, I've been holding on here for over a month, and I'm almost at the summit."
"Please give your senior brother some face."
Seeing Ye Lin's decisive refusal, Wang Wu's expression turned slightly angry.
He was the leader of the Seventh Group, with a peak Golden Core cultivation level. He was one of the few Nascent Soul Realm disciples in the Outer Sect who failed the Inner Sect assessment.
His strength is enough to rank him among the top three in the entire Outer Sect, and he will become inner disciple sooner or later.
He originally thought that the person in front of him was just a new disciple, and that as long as he spoke up, the disciple would at least give him some face.
"Senior brother, those Three Immortals Flower grow on the mountaintop, their purpose being to make disciples compete for them. As for treasures, the capable will claim them. Farewell."
Seeing the person before him like this, Ye Lin no longer intended to get entangled with him any further.
If he had been more courteous and willing to exchange other treasures, he would have even given the man one of his plants, but now, they were all his.
After saying that, Ye Lin withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards the top.
"How dare you!"
Wang Wu suddenly flew into a rage, his body trembled violently, and the next moment, a piercing pain shot straight to his brain, forcing him to stop moving.
Watching Ye Lin's retreating figure, Wang Wu was filled with anger, but there was nothing he could do.
"What a treasure! The capable shall possess it. Very well, I'll remember you."
Given his current state, all he could do was rage helplessly.
At this moment, a transparent panel appeared in front of Ye Lin, and the panel belonged to Wang Wu.
Name: Wang Wu
Cultivation level: Peak Golden Core
Fate Rank: Blue
Fate Traits: [ Ascetic Monk ] [ Tenacious Perseverance ]
Destiny: He stopped at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage and was casually killed by a Nascent Soul Peak of the Demon Race race during a treasure hunt in a secret realm. His death was extremely tragic.
Recent Opportunity: While killing the Crocodile King in Crocodile Valley, a huge rock was found in the Crocodile King's residence. The rock was casually broken, and a Earth Grade Low Tier Breath-Concealing Pill was found inside. If Human Race cultivator swallows it, he can hide his special physique for three years. No matter what level of power a great expert is, they cannot see through it unless they personally use Law Power to investigate. If Demon Beast swallows it, it can hide all its bloodline for three years, becoming ordinary.
[ Ascetic Monk ]: You are born to endure hardship. To achieve certain goals, you can endure Endless Ages, just to reach your objective.
[ Tenacious Perseverance ]: You have very strong perseverance. No matter what setbacks you encounter, you will not give up and will work hard.
Seeing Wang Wu's Recent Opportunity, Ye Lin was overjoyed.
It's like a perfect pillow for someone who's just fallen asleep; this Breath-Concealing Pill seems tailor-made for me.
He had been worrying about how to let Little Red come out openly, but now he realized that as long as he got this pill, he could get Little Red to swallow it.
Concealing its divine beast bloodline, Little Red appears to be just a Big Fire Turkey, attracting no attention whatsoever.
The Outer Sect region of Nameless Mountain is hundreds of thousands of miles wide. It would be perfect to have Little Red keep a low profile.
"Very well, your fortuitous opportunity is mine now."
After saying that, Ye Lin sped up his pace.
The pressure on his body was increasing, but although it was a bit troublesome for him, it wasn't a big problem.
Five minutes later, Ye Lin successfully reached the top. Looking at the Three Immortals Flower in front of him, Ye Lin reached out and plucked them, then put them into his Spatial Ring.
After finishing everything, Ye Lin turned to look at the ground, and then leaped into the air.
His physical strength is now only a hair's breadth away from the peak of the Golden Core stage. Let alone a height of 10,000 meters, he could jump from a height of several million meters without any injury.
As Ye Lin watched the Three Immortals Flower disappear, Wang Wu below gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling violently with rage.
Anger had filled his mind.
If he weren't currently severely injured, he might have killed Ye Lin outright.
"Good, very good, excellent indeed. Once I get out, I will definitely kill you."
Ye Lin was completely unaware of Wang Wu's anger. He looked at the group of disciples in front of him and seemed somewhat speechless.
"Junior brother, you have three Three Immortals Flower. If you want to use one, you only need to use one. The remaining two are for me to wait for. I am willing to offer one hundred Low-Tier Spirit Stone."
