Unexpected (1)

The Azure Blood Demoness Pearl was fine, but many of the other books were unreadable. However, some of the books that Pu Dusheng had given him were written in Netherworld Script, which he could read.

Entering the room, Lin Xin casually picked up a copy of the Nine Mornings Song and began to read it, filled with his previous notes.

"Body Refining methods, though different, arrive at the same destination. The main point is to stimulate potential through acquired tempering, mobilize the Innate, and use Spirit Qi to nourish the body. Their approach is to use all the inverted Spirit Qi to strengthen the body, so the physical body is powerful and fierce."

After careful consideration, Lin Xin carefully read through the Nine Mornings Song.

"With a powerful physical body, many other derivative attack techniques can be produced. This book, which focuses purely on cultivating powerful sonic attacks, is like this. Nine types of melodies can correspond to different increasing realms. But they all require extremely powerful strength to play."

Having memorized this book thoroughly, Lin Xin also slowly integrated all the books he had learned before.

"From Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment Stage, the main key lies in the uniform balance of Qi, in order to lay the Innate Dao Foundation. The corresponding realm in Body Refining is to collect and refine different Spirit Qi ratios to infuse the body, forming different Dao bodies. The former is balanced development, while the latter is an extreme path..."

"Perhaps I can try to cultivate both?" A thought stirred in his mind, and he decided to try it.

If he could cultivate both the Returning Origin Art and the Body Refining Art, he would surely be able to take his cultivation to the next level and improve faster.

"Most importantly, my Constitution should be able to receive more tempering, thereby resisting the aggravation of hallucinations..."

Lin Xin carefully sorted through the levels of the Nine Mornings Song.

The first level is Heavenly Wave, the second level is Earthly Peace, the third level is Human Heart. The names of the following levels were too long, so Lin Xin directly changed them to simpler ones, becoming the fourth level Wind Sound, the fifth level Jade Echo, the sixth level Fire Fate, the seventh level Rain Breath, the eighth level Yin Wail, and the ninth level Yang Raiment.

Many parts of the Nine Mornings Song belonged to the original Two-Faced People Constitution, and Lin Xin corrected them one by one. However, because he had not experienced the realm after the Foundation Establishment Stage, many places were just rote memorization, or slightly modified according to his own understanding. In reality, he didn't know if it would work.

"Iron Wall Cross Current, Giant Manta Ray Wan Sha Art, Feast Art." There were also several other books that he had traded for earlier, but Lin Xin had not been able to fully translate them. He was self-studying the Two-Faced People's script, and some of the books were written in ancient Netherworld Script, so he could understand them.

"I hope the teacher that Pu Dusheng promised will come as soon as possible. Then I can correct them and formally try to practice."

Putting down the book, he took out the thing he had arranged for today—the Azure Blood Demoness Pearl.

The blood-red pearl was particularly enchanting in the dim light, with a circle of faint white lace rotating inside. He could vaguely see someone constantly looking out from the other side of the pearl.

"On the ground, this is called a Yin Spirit Pearl. The Bell Sound Great Art inside is all written in Netherworld Script. Maybe I can practice it a little."

Lin Xin took out the pearl. This kind of treasure was close to the fourth rank. It sealed a ghost of at least the late Foundation Establishment Stage inside. If he accidentally released it, it would be extremely dangerous.

He picked up the Yin Spirit Pearl and began to copy down the Bell Sound Great Art on the prepared white paper.

Soon he discovered that the Bell Sound Great Art rotating in the pearl actually had tens of thousands of words. When a long piece of the art was copied onto the paper, the entire white paper buzzed and glowed with silver light.

And the art runes in the pearl actually disappeared, leaving no trace.

"A unique art?!" Lin Xin was also taken aback. Only the most top-notch arts could show such uniqueness.

Such an art could only exist once in the world. Once it was copied, the original would disappear, and the recorded content would naturally be transferred to the new place.

"It's actually a unique art..." He was a little shaken. Generally, those with such characteristics were absolutely powerful top-notch arts, whether it was a cultivation method or a secret technique.

Suddenly, his interest in this art greatly increased. He began to carefully study the copied art text. The paper at this time seemed to be shining with silver light because of the Bell Sound Great Art, and it also faintly made the paper have a metallic texture, making it much harder.

After careful study, Lin Xin found that this Bell Sound Great Art mainly recorded methods of using sound to attack the opponent, interfere with the opponent, and influence the opponent. It had the same goal as the Nine Mornings Song through different means.

It's just that the Nine Mornings Song pays more attention to both internal and external cultivation, while this secret art mainly belongs to supernatural powers. It is purely used for attack and application, and is infinitely mysterious.

"There are actually no Constitution restrictions!" Lin Xin suddenly noticed a detail, and his heart was faintly shocked.

The Bell Sound Great Art actually had no Constitution requirements. As long as it was a creature that could make a sound, it could cultivate it, and there were only three realms: Spirit, Illusion, and Truth, three major realms.

Carefully reading through the mysteries within, Lin Xin gradually felt that many of his previous understandings and insights were suddenly connected, as if his entire being had been enlightened. Many of the principles explained in this secret method and divine ability were interconnected with the Array Dao and the Returning Origin Art, and so on.

However, if he wanted to cultivate it, the time spent might be extremely long.

Although the Bell Sound Great Art did not restrict constitution, divine abilities that focused on sound were very rare, and coupled with the extremely long time it took to cultivate, it was clearly prepared for the demon race.

Lin Xin was unwilling to give up. If he missed such a unique art and divine ability, it would be a real pity.

He almost unswervingly began to try to cultivate the Bell Sound Great Art.

Unconsciously, time passed quickly...

**********************

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

Everything in the Mountain Manor was on the right track. After Lin Zhen's emotional injury, he was silent for a while, then returned to his flirtatious self, becoming even more dissolute. He indulged in drinking and pleasure every day, but his cultivation continued to improve steadily.

As for Lin Luo, after going out on a mission, he became even more taciturn, and his cultivation became even more difficult to see through.

On the other hand, Nan Shunqing disappeared without a trace after going out to encircle and suppress the Insect Mother.

Lin Xin also opened the box he had given him. The note inside contained some of the wealth hiding places that Nan Shunqing had accumulated over the years. There was also a treasure in the box, which seemed to be a sword pellet wrapped into a ball. When the sword pellet was unfolded, it formed a snow-white sword blade composed of silk threads, with the name engraved on it: Thousand Silk Illusion Snow. It was inscribed with Netherworld Script.

Lin Xin carefully put it away and hid it.

Every day, besides refining Talisman Swords, he would hide alone in the Alchemy Room and the Secret Chamber to cultivate.

On the Radiance Society side, the Porcelain King also came several times, asking him to help check the Array Disk. Lin Xin gladly agreed to go, and they got along well, making the other party owe him a lot of favors.

Occasionally going to the branch, he also became familiar with the name there, and he also took the alias Red Flower for himself. Gradually, he almost became a resident Array Master of the branch.

Dugu Lin would also often run to the Mountain Manor to wander around. She had been collecting materials, but unfortunately, she was still missing some. She would only let Lin Xin help her refine weapons when she had collected them all.

The two often discussed the shape and function of the weapons she wanted, and so on. Their friendship was getting closer and closer. Later, Huang Shan also joined in, and the few of them vaguely had the meaning of being peers.

These were all developments on the surface. What Lin Xin really cared about and put a lot of thought into was the Netherworld Mansion.

Over the years, he had traded with Pu Dusheng several times, bringing a lot of resources and wealth to the Mountain Manor and the Bright Sun Sect. Although he had not found any more Demon Talisman Seeds, he only occasionally found a few to barely maintain consumption. But Lin Xin's greatest gain was the accumulation of knowledge.

He learned their writing and language from the teacher with Pu Dusheng, and read and memorized all the obtained books.

With these top-notch complete books in his heart, coupled with his deepening research on the constitution and meridians of the Two-Faced People, Lin Xin gradually had the idea of perfecting his Body Refining technique.

The Bell Sound Great Art had also gradually entered the door after several years of hard work. Every day, he constantly vibrated his internal organs with sword sounds, and he was now able to perform some sonic divine abilities attacks.

And Yin Manto was also getting bigger and bigger, growing more and more huge, dividing into many branches and vines. Every time it was summoned, it could fill the entire dark courtyard.

Over the years, it had also successively devoured many Two-Faced People experts, including Foundation Establishment Stage experts. Lin Xin learned that its so-called feedback was like the Demonic Path, being able to purify the devoured essence and blood cultivation and give him a very small portion.

With the help of this method and the Yin Spirit Pearl, plus constantly going to the Netherworld Mansion to slaughter, and finally adding his own daily hard work.

Lin Xin finally broke through the fifth level in the fifth year and entered the sixth level.

***********************

Hiss...

Lin Xin carefully threw several precious materials into the alchemy furnace, quietly watching the flames erupt inside, burning almost to the point of spewing out of the furnace mouth.

Pu Dusheng stared at him nervously from the side.

"Red Flower, if you don't succeed, don't push yourself too hard. These materials won't be available again once they're gone. Wouldn't it be a waste to just use them like this?"

Lin Xin didn't even blink as he said, "You've been rich and generous these past few years. Do you still need to care about these materials?"

"These are priceless top-tier medicinal herbs! They can't be bought with money!" Pu Dusheng argued. "Even as a prince, I might not be able to get many. It took me over thirty years to get these few!"

"Be careful!"

"Hey! Be careful! Don't put too much!"

"If you keep making noise, your priceless herbs will be gone," Lin Xin said, his expression unchanged.

Pu Dusheng immediately didn't dare to say another word.

Over the years, he and Lin Xin had formed a stable trading partnership. Both sides could be considered to have some friendship, becoming much more familiar. Under mutual benefit, both became increasingly wealthy due to regional price differences, almost to the point of being extremely rich.

Pu Dusheng even recruited a Golden Core Realm expert as a retainer, instead of being assigned one by the imperial court as before.

Lin Xin was also extremely wealthy, constantly bringing out various rare materials from the Netherworld Mansion. He mainly placed them in the Bright Sun Sect, using them to develop and build the assassin platform he had wanted to build before.

At the same time, he also began to recruit retainers from the outside world. Unfortunately, there were not many highly skilled cultivators among the rogue cultivators. He only found several Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to be retainers for the Bright Sun Sect, enjoying the supplies.

In addition, all kinds of equipment on his body had been replaced with the top-tier ones.

His clothes were the Mist River Treasure Robe made by the Gold Jade Sect, woven from extremely precious Fire Fate silkworm silk, and painstakingly refined by a Golden Core expert over twelve years. It was a true third-grade top-tier magic treasure that even Foundation Establishment cultivators coveted. The best goods that could be bought on the market.

The defense was many times that of the Spirit Light Shield. It could block Foundation Establishment Stage attacks without taking damage, and had extremely strong resistance to flames. The price was naturally terrifying. (To be continued.)
