Gathering Spirit for Cultivation
"Just letting them leave like that really was letting them off too easily." Lin Yu glanced over, unsure whether letting them go this time had been right or wrong. In any case, he had never regretted doing such things.
"Tell me, what method can gather the spiritual energy here?" He was speaking to the Blood Command. They were mysterious, and they knew many things; otherwise, they would not have transmitted their voice to Lin Yu just now.
The moment his words fell, the Blood Command directly brought him into its space. Waves of blood qi rushed at him, making even Lin Yu uncomfortable. Only when the Blood Command transformed into a skeleton did it speak. "Yes, there is a way. The spiritual energy outside is too scattered; gathering it is quite troublesome."
"Nonsense. If it weren't troublesome, would I have come looking for you?" Hearing them, Lin Yu grew somewhat impatient. If it were not troublesome, there really would have been no need for him to seek them out.
"Mm, then let's get down to business! The spiritual energy of the Ten Thousand Mountains was stirred up because of the cultivators you killed just now." Knowing Lin Yu lacked patience, the Blood Command said this before continuing, "After that, you will need to use the spiritual energy within your own body as a guide.
Draw in the spiritual energy of this stretch of heaven and earth, gather it together, and then absorb it. However, during this process, there will certainly be many cultivators present." The Blood Command spoke blandly.
"Is that so? Then what methods do you have for dealing with those cultivators?" Lin Yu stood there, knowing they must have a solution, or they would not have said so much.
"Mm... that is not our concern. Whether you can successfully condense it all depends on your own fortune." That one sentence from the Blood Command made Lin Yu's state of mind completely collapse. After all that talking, it had all been nonsense.
"Get lost... get out of my sight. What fortune?" With that, Lin Yu directly left the place. Once outside, he did not delay in the slightest and immediately began releasing the spiritual energy within his body.
In an instant, that spiritual energy dispersed directly above him. Sensing it, the spiritual energy within a one-li radius was immediately drawn over. Lin Yu sat cross-legged and continued releasing it until he spat out a mouthful of blood, only then stopping.
This time, he had truly poured all his spiritual energy into it. He directly took out a Spirit Stone and began recovering.
The spiritual energy that had been scattered throughout this space became a solid visible to the naked eye at that moment. Lin Yu looked into the distance and said faintly, "This spiritual energy before me was worth it after all." Sitting cross-legged, he prepared to begin absorbing it.
Poison Slayer stood in the distance, glanced over, and thought, My disciple really has guts. I finally understand how I, his master, came to be this way. But those cultivators have turned back again. Lin Yu looked into the distance and helplessly shook his head again, not knowing what to say now.
Still, he did not feel much pressure. His divine sense swept over those cultivators in an instant. Seeing that their cultivation was not high, he finally let out a breath.
It was as though Lin Yu had drained the spiritual energy from half the mountain. How could those cultivators possibly endure that? Looking into the distance, he thought, They came so quickly. Lin Yu sat there, unsure what to do. This spiritual energy had only just been gathered.
At this moment, he had no intention of giving up this spiritual energy and continued absorbing it. After all, it was not only he who was absorbing the spiritual energy now; it was vanishing from his body rapidly as well. It seemed that maintaining the strength of the fourth rank would already be quite good.
"Damn Blood Command, so you just made me gather spiritual energy for them. Let me survive this calamity first, then we'll settle your matter." Lin Yu let out a long breath. Only upon seeing that the spiritual energy had basically disappeared did he finally breathe out again.
Opening his eyes, he saw cultivators approaching one after another in the distance. Lin Yu stood there and quietly waited. In an instant, a sword flew over and plunged into his shoulder. He said nothing, simply slapped the sword wielder flying before pulling the sword out.
"Get lost. What kind of skill is attacking from behind with a sword? I'd like to see just how capable you really are." Lin Yu glanced over, took a deep breath, and looked at the distant cultivator. In an instant, a fleeting thought crossed his mind, and Lin Yu did not know what to say.
Lin Yu looked into the distance as though waiting for something. He could clearly sense that many more cultivators were rushing here. He said quietly, "There is indeed a great deal of spiritual energy here, but I did not take it all. I understand the principle of leaving others a way out. And you? What did you do?"
As he spoke, Lin Yu suddenly moved. His sword swept out, seeming as though it would destroy everything around it. Seeing this, the man panicked and backed away, saying, "You can't kill me, you can't kill me... I'm... I'm from the Blade Sect, you can't kill me..." "Ah..." He begged for mercy, but how many who provoked Lin Yu could survive?
"The Blade Sect? Then why do you use a sword?" He wanted to kill this man, but he wanted to toy with him a while longer. Only then did Lin Yu continue, "No explanation is needed. Die!" As he spoke, Lin Yu had already swung his sword. With a single slash, he killed the man.
Lin Yu glanced over and let out a long breath, saying sorrowfully, "If I didn't kill you, then I would likely be the one to die. Since you are from the Blade Sect, let the people of your Blade Sect avenge you!"
As he spoke, Lin Yu took out a Spirit Stone and sat cross-legged on the ground. The wound on his left arm had yet to heal, and using spiritual energy to heal it consumed far too much. The surrounding cultivators watched like tigers eyeing their prey, waiting for the spiritual energy in his body to run dry before killing him.
But the spiritual energy had already become Lin Yu's. What could they do in the end? Wanting to know the method was no simple matter either; no matter how strong one's spiritual power was, it would be useless.
"Do you feel it too? There is a powerful killing intent on that kid," a cultivator lurking nearby asked those around him.
"Yes. The killing intent on him can be clearly felt. He just killed a Blade Sect cultivator with one strike. The Blade Sect will likely arrive soon; perhaps we can also get a share of the spoils then..."
