Zi Yan's Advancement

After Cailin appeared, she used her Dou Qi to condense a purple brocade robe. Then, she glanced around with her beautiful eyes and realized what had happened. It was a bedroom, and Zi Yan was staring at Lin Qing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with deep worry in her eyes.

Seeing Lin Qing's condition, veins bulged on his forehead, his teeth clenched, and his face was filled with pain. Thin streaks of blood congealed on his body, forming bloody shackles, which looked quite horrifying.

Seeing this, she was startled, but the Queen, who had experienced many storms, quickly calmed down. She understood why the other guy was so anxious to let her take control of the body; it turned out that the little man had encountered trouble.

Upon seeing Cailin's arrival, Zi Yan's eyes lit up. She opened her mouth, but then thought of Lin Qing and ultimately remained silent.

"Watch! He's probably practicing some kind of special Secret Technique."

Cailin noticed Zi Yan's anxiety and said softly.

She could tell that Lin Qing wasn't in a particularly good state. There was an extremely powerful energy surging within him, and his internal condition must be extremely bad. However, if he could digest this energy, his strength would definitely experience a surge. If he couldn't withstand it and couldn't digest this energy, his body would probably be ravaged beyond recognition.

Under their watchful eyes, in this almost silent state, time flew by quietly. In the blink of an eye, half a day later, Lin Qing's breath, which had begun to weaken, began to slowly recover, and her heartbeat, which had begun to weaken, began to surge and become strong.

"Snap!"

A crack quietly appeared in the blood shackles covering Lin Qing's body, and a piece of the shackles fell off.

"Boom!"

As the blood shackles fell off, his bronze skin was revealed. Then, the bronze skin gradually turned golden, and at the same time, Lin Qing's aura began to rise rapidly.

Four-Star Dou King, five-star... soon, he reached the Peak Dou King.

"He's reached the Peak Dou King!"

Observing the change in Lin Qing's aura, Cailin's eyes became serious. She knew that Lin Qing had entered a special state, but if this continued, he would have to spend a lot of effort to break through to the Dou Zong in the future.

Fortunately, after Lin Qing reached the Peak Dou King, his cultivation level stagnated, although the aura within his body continued to increase.

She guessed that Lin Qing was probably fully digesting the energy within his body, and this change in aura was likely related to his skin color.

Gradually, the bronze color on Lin Qing's body began to be replaced by gold. When the bronze color turned into dark gold, it only shone slightly, without the great golden light that was expected. Instead, it maintained the dark gold color, appearing somewhat powerless.

However, this dark gold color looks more robust and incredibly sturdy than the previous bronze color.

"Well!"

Feeling that his energy was completely depleted, Lin Qing opened his eyes. He also felt that sense of exhaustion, but his overall strength had increased by a level.

"Unfortunately, I've only come very close, not fully entered this realm. To truly enter it, I need the essence blood of some Tier 7 to Eighth-Rank Magical Beast. However, collecting essence blood will take some time and resources. It seems that body tempering isn't so easy, given the saying 'the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts.'"

Lin Qing sensed his physical strength and cultivation level, and then concealed his aura and color.

However, his cultivation level gave him a pleasant surprise, directly breaking through from Three-Star Dou King to the Peak Nine-Star Dou King. With a few months of proper training, he could advance to Dou Emperor.

Alright, now that Dou Wang, he doesn't need the Emerald King Pill that can upgrade him to three stars, and he's also saved on the Dou Spirit Pill. But that's fine, he can exchange it for some other Medicinal Herb!

"It failed?"

Cailin noticed that Lin Qing seemed a little dejected and asked him.

Lin Qing nodded, then realized that his clothes were now filthy.

"It was a success, and it wasn't a success either; it was just one step away. You guys go to the living room first! I'll wash up."

After listening to Lin Qing's explanation and glancing at his state, Cailin Lin nodded slightly and led Zi Yan out of the room.

After the two left, Lin Qing went straight into the bathroom.

She took off her blood-stained clothes and started washing up.

After washing up, I changed into clean clothes.

Lin Qing returned to the living room and saw that Zi Yan and Cailin were already sitting there.

With a flick of his hand, a Myriad Beasts Fruit appeared on the table.

Cailin and Zi Yan focused their attention on the table; they could see the terrifying energy and vitality contained within the fruit.

Zi Yan quickly grabbed the Myriad Beasts Fruit and immediately popped it into her mouth. The effects were immediate; her complexion gradually became unusually rosy, then turned purplish.

Zi Yan's change shocked Cailin, who placed her hand on Zi Yan's forehead and felt that her body was burning hot like a furnace.

"Hmm! Sister Cailin, what's wrong?" Zi Yan was a little confused at the moment.

Seeing Cailin's worried expression, Lin Qing said seriously:

"Because she consumed a lot of high-grade Medicinal Herb and Medicinal Pellet recently, and also obtained a lot of Medicinal Pellet and Grain-Fed Pill from Xiao Qi, plus the effect of this Myriad Beasts Fruit, she's about to advance in rank. Let's carry her upstairs to her bedroom."

He wasn't worried at all that she would fail to advance, since she had been indulging in all sorts of food and drink lately because she had achieved freedom in obtaining Medicinal Pellet, and Xiao Qi had spoiled her by giving her all the remaining Medicinal Pellet and Medicinal Pill. So many Medicinal Pellet and Medicinal Pill naturally contained a lot of energy.

Even without the Myriad Beasts Fruit, she would have entered the Dou Emperor stage much faster than before, it just wouldn't have taken as long.

Therefore, it's normal for her to directly enter the advanced state, and the system has already certified it. The only concern is that her evolution will take a considerable amount of time.

He remembered that it would take Zi Yan quite a while to advance from the Tier 5 to the Tier 6, and she couldn't be disturbed during that time. However, he would have to tell Su Qian later, otherwise the old man would worry.

"Good!"

Hearing that Zi Yan was alright, Cailin breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, she got up, gently picked up Zi Yan, and headed upstairs.

Lin Qing followed, and after Cailin Lin placed Zi Yan on the bed, Zi Yan instantly shone with a brilliant purple light.

As a dense purple light surged from its body, it finally transformed into a purple Light Cocoon that was several feet wide, completely enveloping its body.

As the large purple cocoon appeared, the system's voice also rang in his mind:

[Ding! Selection complete, reward sent to System Space!]

Within the System Space, a slowly writhing rune with a silvery glow appeared, emanating ancient energy.

"Once I refine the Spatial Ancestral Talisman, the spatial advantage that Dou Venerable have over me will disappear, and then I'll be able to fight some Dou Venerable!"

With the power of space, he will have the ability to maneuver around when dealing with the Lizardmen.
