The Treasure Hunt Ends

"What? Innate spiritual energy?"

The others were shocked, then immediately began slaughtering the strange insects before them. A moment later, the disciples all cried out in surprise.

"It really is innate spiritual energy. Hiss, it's so pure. Although I've never even seen a top-grade spirit stone, I can guarantee that this is even purer than the energy within one."

At this, the disciples looked at the dense swarm of strange insects as if they were looking at a grand feast, and they all launched their attacks.

Ye Lin joined the ranks of those fighting the insects, and for a time, the once-swarming mass was beaten into a steady retreat under the full-force output of the group.

The disciples attacking grew more courageous with every strike, their auras rising in a straight line.

"Hiss, it really is so pure. If I keep killing like this, I'll definitely break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining."

Ye Lin felt a surge of joy in his heart and intensified his attacks.

Under the collective assault, the strange insects were gradually routed and began to disperse. A few minutes later, they vanished entirely.

Looking at the cluster of innate spiritual energy stored within his dantian, Ye Lin felt delighted. Once he left the secret realm and refined this energy, reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining would be a certainty.

Due to the pressing time, he had no chance to refine it now and could only store it in his dantian to refine slowly after leaving.

The other disciples were all thinking the same thing; everyone wanted to seize a little more of that innate spiritual energy.

"Is... is that it?"

One disciple looked at the vanished insects, feeling somewhat unsatisfied; he hadn't killed enough yet.

Afterward, everyone began to explore, but a full hour passed without anyone finding anything.

"It seems our fortune has reached its end. Let's go; there's nothing left for us here."

One of the disciples spoke, and the others nodded in succession.

Ye Lin looked at the disciple who had spoken, his eyes narrowing slightly. He always felt that this fellow was not simple.

A transparent panel appeared before his eyes.

Name: Wang Sheng Cultivation: Qi Refining Level 9 Fate Grade: Green Fate Logic: [Lucky Star Shining] Destiny: In half a month, he will descend the mountain to slay demons, only to have his essence and blood drained by a demon and die. Recent Opportunity: After walking out of the Heavenly Mansion, he will become interested in the two stone lions at the gate. Upon examining them, he will discover a Profound-grade high-tier God-Hiding Bead inside one of the lions' mouths.

[Lucky Star Shining]: Your luck is excellent. Those around you are often influenced by you, causing their own luck to improve.

After reading the panel, Ye Lin glanced around and turned to leave.

"Let's go. We must not be greedy. Being able to obtain innate spiritual energy is already a bountiful harvest."

Wang Sheng finished speaking and walked toward the door. The other disciples nodded and turned to leave as well.

Ye Lin followed the stone bridge until he reached the stone lions. Looking at the two statues, he stepped forward and began to grope around them.

Finally, inside the mouth of the left stone lion, he discovered a blue bead and immediately tucked it into his Spatial Ring.

"Junior Brother, the statues are too heavy to move, and these stone lions don't look like anything we can budge either."

Wang Sheng walked toward Ye Lin and said with a smile.

If these things weren't so heavy, he would have liked to move a few back to his residence; how majestic would that look?

"Heh, I just thought these stone lions were much smaller than the statues, but I didn't expect them to be so heavy."

Ye Lin replied immediately.

"Let's go. The gate to the secret realm is about to open."

Watching the disciples emerging one after another, Wang Sheng finished his sentence and walked toward the distance.

Arriving at the gate of the secret realm, most of the Inner Sect disciples had already gathered, waiting for the gate to open so they could leave and go into seclusion.

Everyone had gained a bountiful harvest from this trip. Ye Lin stood in the crowd, looking around, but he did not see Lin Zisheng.

Taking advantage of this time, Ye Lin sat cross-legged on the ground to cultivate. The spiritual energy here was far too dense; rather than waiting, he might as well seize the time to practice.

Seeing this, the other disciples followed suit.

Three hours later, a streak of sword light flashed in the distance. Lin Zisheng's face was glowing with health; clearly, he had gained quite a lot.

Ye Lin opened his eyes and looked at Lin Zisheng.

Name: Lin Zisheng Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Early Stage Fate Grade: Yellow Fate Logic: [Transcendental Luck][Sword Dao Leader][Divine Comprehension][Child of Heaven's Favor][Reincarnated Great Being] Destiny: He will experience many hardships along the way, eventually breaking through to the Mahayana stage and becoming one of the great beings of the human race. Later, he will be ambushed by a great being of the Demon Race and escape with heavy injuries. Recent Opportunity 1: A month later, he will descend the mountain to slay demons. On the Hundred-Broken Mountain, he will be attacked by an evil spirit and fall off a cliff. At the bottom, he will obtain a Profound-grade high-tier spirit fruit, the North Wind Fruit. After consuming it, his cultivation will advance greatly, and he will step into the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage in one leap.

Recent Opportunity 2: In one and a half months, inside the Fate Treasure Pavilion at the Golden City antique market, purchase the only dilapidated vase at a low price. After breaking it, an ancient mural will be revealed inside. Upon comprehending it, you will obtain the ancient immortal technique, One Breath Becomes Three Purities.

[Transcendental Luck]: Your luck is exceptionally good. You always stumble upon opportunities while walking along the road, and even when encountering life-or-death crises, you can turn danger into safety.

[Sword Dao Leader]: A natural talent for sword practice. You possess a superhuman understanding of the Sword Dao and progress with incredible speed along the path of the sword.

[Divine Comprehension]: Your comprehension is transcendent. You grasp various cultivation techniques with extreme speed; for the same technique that takes others three months, you only need a few days.

[Child of Heaven's Favor]: You are favored by the fortune of the Heavenly Dao. On the path of cultivation, you have no bottlenecks to speak of; breaking through is as simple as eating and drinking.

[Reincarnated Great Being]: You are the reincarnation of a Great Being from the Immortal Realm, though your soul was damaged and your memories sealed during the process. Once you reach the Nascent Soul Realm, your memories will be unsealed, and from then on, it will be like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, with smooth sailing all the way.

It seems that by plundering his opportunities, his future destiny will also change.

Looking at Lin Zisheng's destiny, Ye Lin muttered to himself.

No opportunities within a month, which means he will be in secluded cultivation for this month? Perfect. Once I go out, I will break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Then I will head down the mountain to get my hands on that ancient immortal technique. One Breath Becomes Three Purities—could it be the immortal technique of that Great Being?

Ye Lin murmured, thinking that if it truly were that Great Being's technique, he would have hit the jackpot, though upon closer reflection, it seemed unrealistic.

One had to know that the Great Being was the ancestor of Taoism, one of the Three Purities, the Taoist Ancestor Laozi—a figure standing at the very pinnacle.

Just then, the gate to the secret realm before them swung open, and the disciples, seeing this, filed out of the secret realm one after another.

Ye Lin followed behind the other disciples.

Watching Ye Lin's retreating figure disappear, Lin Zisheng's eyes flickered, lost in thought.

After exiting the secret realm, the old man who had sent them in earlier was already waiting at the entrance.

Ye Lin also attempted to view the old man's panel, but unfortunately, the gap in cultivation was too vast, and the panel failed to display anything at all.

"Very well, disciples at the Foundation Establishment Realm or higher, follow me to the main hall to discuss matters. The rest of you may go down and cultivate."

At this moment, the old man spoke to the disciples. Seeing the unnatural expression on the old man's face, Ye Lin understood immediately; it must be about the demons.

However, this matter had little to do with him for now. If the sky fell, the tall ones would hold it up; he only needed to cultivate and raise his own cultivation level as much as possible.
