"Now I understand!"
Lu Lin's brows furrowed deeply.
Judging by this, the only technique he had any hope of cultivating to the Innate Realm was the Demonic Ape Blood Qi Art?
There were no Flame Cranes in the Demonic Sect. Never mind obtaining Flame Crane Blood Essence, he couldn't even take the first step and comprehend the Flame Crane Spirit.
"Immortal Master, could you get me some Demonic Ape Blood Essence?" Lu Lin asked the most crucial question.
"I can, but not right now." Luo Siqing nodded.
"Not right now?"
"The Demonic Sect keeps only a limited number of Demonic Apes, and those that reach the peak of the first rank or even the second rank are rarer still. The refining process can also fail and waste materials, so very little Demonic Ape Blood Essence is produced each year. Countless eyes are fixed on every drop. With my current status, getting my hands on any would be extremely difficult."
Luo Siqing explained in detail. "But once I break through to the Tenth Layer of Qi Refining and become a true core disciple of the sect—a Foundation Establishment seed—my standing will be entirely different. Then it won't be so difficult to obtain a portion of Demonic Ape Blood Essence."
"So I can only wait?" Lu Lin murmured.
"Don't worry. It won't take long. I'll break through soon."
Luo Siqing sounded certain, then went on to reason, "Besides, you still have to complete the first step: comprehending the Demonic Ape Spirit. As far as I know, even those with exceptional talent need three to five years to comprehend the Demonic Ape Spirit. Though you're gifted beyond the ordinary, you'll still need at least a year or two. By then, I should have broken through as well."
What else could Lu Lin do
