Wolf Wind Stockade was a large bandit stronghold with thousands of bandits.
Ye Tian stood in front of the mountain stronghold's main hall, his right hand on a man's head. He activated the Spirit-Devouring Formula, and in an instant, the man turned into a dried-up corpse, which Ye Tian casually tossed aside.
At this point, there was no one left alive in the mountain stronghold.
A red glint flashed in Ye Tian's eyes, revealing a satisfied look.
"I'm almost at the Golden Core Stage stage!" Ye Tian said with a smile.
"Your Spirit Devouring Art Spirit-Devouring Formula is becoming increasingly proficient. Once you reach the Golden Core Stage, its power will increase by at least a hundredfold. At that time, you will be able to devour all living beings in the world."
The Soul Body of "Grandpa" Xiao Ruozhuo floated beside Ye Tian and said approvingly.
"Once I reach the Golden Core Stage, I will be able to unleash even greater power using your body. At that time, those people around Bai Feng will be no threat."
"Once you devour Bai Feng, your foundation will be incredibly solid, and you will have no more bottlenecks until at least the Spirit Transformation Stage."
"Once you reach the Spirit Transformation Stage, I will take you to a good place, the perfect place to unleash the full potential of your Spirit-Devouring Formula."
What place is it?
"It's unspeakable, unspeakable! Haha!" Xiao Ruozhuo laughed loudly.
The two men descended the mountain, leaving behind a trail of desiccated corpses, a scene resembling Asura Hell.
A moment later, a humanoid mist slowly appeared, looking at the scene before him and muttering, "This is the Protagonist? This is the damn demon, isn't it?"
In a private room on the second floor of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion Auction House in Yue City.
Ling Yi looked at Lin Boyun and his son Lin Yue standing respectfully before him, tapped the table, and appeared deep in thought.
"How strong is your Lin Clan patriarch now?" Ling Yi asked after a long while.
" The Peak Void Refinement Realm, the next step is the Dao Integration Realm, but the Ancestor has been in seclusion for more than 1,200 years and has never taken that step. Now... alas!" Lin Boyun shook his head and sighed.
To be honest, Ling Yi doesn't need the Lin Clan.
What use would it be to take over the Lin Clan? Would it help me improve my strength, or provide me with cultivation resources?
To increase his strength, Ling Yi has a cheat-like ability. Cultivation resources? Ling Yi doesn't even need to cultivate, so why would he need cultivation resources?
However, Lin Yue is, after all, the second villainous tool he's bound to, so he can take care of him a little.
After all, the stronger the tool is, the stronger he becomes.
"Has Lin Tian woken up yet?" Ling Yi asked again.
Lin Boyun was somewhat puzzled. Why was he suddenly asking about that brat Lin Tian?
Lin Yue, standing to the side, noticed his pupils shrink and his whole body tense up.
"Tian'er has woken up, but..."
"Bring him over so I can meet him."
Lin Boyun and his son were increasingly puzzled, but they still instructed the servants guarding outside the private room to do it.
About twenty minutes later, a young man with an arrogant look and a slightly pale face walked into the private room.
" Old Lin, what's the matter that you absolutely need me to come over? I'm very busy, you know."
The boy glanced at everyone, then reclined in his chair, picked up a piece of fruit, and popped it into his mouth.
"You bastard, stand up and speak properly!" Lin Boyun roared.
"Why are you shouting so loudly? I'm weak all over, you know, I'm a patient." Lin Tian remained unmoved and continued eating his fruit.
Lin Boyun was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him, but Lin Yue stopped him.
"Father, my third brother has just woken up and definitely needs rest."
Ling Yi stared intently at Lin Tian. Although Ling Yi couldn't discern anything, he instinctively felt a strange sense of familiarity about Lin Tian.
Ling Yi suddenly exclaimed, "Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron!"
"Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine... neon, oh my god!" Lin Tian stood up abruptly, looking at Ling Yi with disbelief.
"You, you, you!" He pointed at Ling Yi, his face a mixture of excitement and terror.
Ling Yi immediately created a Clone that appeared beside Lin Tian. The next moment, the Clone carried him through space.
"This..." Lin Boyun and Lin Yue were somewhat bewildered, completely unaware of what had happened.
"No need to worry, I have some connection with Lin Tian my previous life, but it won't do you any good to know that."
Lin Boyun and Lin Yue immediately started to imagine all sorts of scenarios.
In their previous lives, with their shared origins, were they all reincarnations of powerful beings? Otherwise, where would they have come from in their previous lives?
Lin Boyun couldn't help but feel excited, thinking to himself, "Tian'er is actually the reincarnation of a powerful being. Could it be that her previous unconsciousness was due to the awakening of her memories?"
Lin Yue, on the other hand, was thinking, "Damn it, if my third brother really is the reincarnation of a powerful being, then everything I did before was meaningless?"
On the other side, Ling Yi's Clone had already brought Lin Tian to a mountain forest outside Yue City.
" Clone combined with Space Teleportation? Wow, that's impressive, folks!" Lin Tian said with a hint of envy.
"How did you travel here?" Lin Tian asked immediately afterward.
At this point, Ling Yi felt a little embarrassed. Could he say that he had just sneezed and come over?
This method of time travel is probably unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated; it sounds rather low-class.
"Car accident!" Ling Yi explained casually.
Ling Yi never expected that the second Protagonist would be a time traveler, and even one of his "fellow villagers".
"You were also in a car accident? It seems we're using the same scheme, or perhaps we were brought here by the same mysterious person. Mine is Get Stronger by Sleeping System, what's your cheat system?"
This guy seems a bit dim-witted. He's already covered for everyone? Doesn't he have any sense of caution at all?
Don't they know that transmigrators from the same world are likely to be enemies?
However, Protagonist have a cheat-like ability like " Get Stronger by Sleeping System " usually seem to have a rather carefree personality.
"My cheat system is Mission Lottery System. It sends out all sorts of weird and bizarre quests every day. It's so annoying," Ling Yi said, making things up.
"Ah, that's quite troublesome. I hope your mission this time isn't related to me?" Lin Tian asked curiously.
"No, it's related to your older brother. He wants me to help Lin Yue reach the Nascent Soul Stage within a year."
" The Nascent Soul Stage shouldn't be too difficult, right? My older brother is already at the Golden Core Stage, huh? He thinks he's hiding it well, but I found out a long time ago."
Lin Tian said smugly.
"You've already reached the Golden Core Stage? I really didn't realize. If you Golden Core Stage, there should still be hope within a year," Ling Yi said, revealing a look of surprise.
The two chatted for a long time and discussed what they would say to Lin Boyun and the others before returning to the private room at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.
Lin Tian transmigrated to this world in early October of 22nd year, but he has only been here for a few days.
The previous Lin Tian was already dead. He was Soul Transmigration who possessed Lin Tian's body and received Lin Tian's memories.
According to Lin Tian, he can gain cultivation simply by sleeping, and he can also receive various rewards after reaching a certain amount of sleep time.
For example, there are rewards for accumulating sleep for one day, one month, one year... even for a hundred years or a thousand years.
The rewards include cultivation techniques, magical treasures, and elixirs.
If what Lin Tian said is true, then that would be incredibly satisfying.
I want a system like that so badly.
Although Lin Boyun and Lin Yue had many questions they wanted to ask, Ling Yi dismissed them with, "Knowing too much isn't a good thing!"
The two were helpless in this situation.
" Lin Cheng, your two sons are both extraordinary. Even without me, with them around, your Lin Clan will surely Yifei great heights in the future."
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Lin Boyun and Lin Yue were overjoyed.
"You don't need to pay too much attention to Lin Tian; he has his own way of becoming stronger. As for Lin Yue, he will surely have the potential to become a great emperor in the future!"
"My son has the potential to become an emperor?" Lin Boyun exclaimed.
"This is something you should keep to yourselves; don't tell anyone else." Ling Yi felt he could now easily sell watches.
"We are aware of this," Lin Boyun said solemnly.
After a brief moment of surprise, Lin Yue quickly regained his composure.
This is an extremely intelligent person. Intelligent people tend to overthink things, and they often find it difficult to fully trust others.
Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant; Ling Yi is just giving a reason.
The auction had already begun. Ling Yi wasn't interested in anything else, but he was very interested in the Soul Tempering Fruit.
According to Fu Xiyao, this thing is extremely useful for cultivators.
Whether used to strengthen or repair the soul, it is a rare Supreme Pin elixir.
"Take a picture of the Soul Tempering Fruit later; it will be very useful to you," Ling Yi said to Lin Yue.
Lin Yue shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Young Master Ling, too many people are eyeing the Soul Tempering Fruit Soul Tempering Fruit. Its appearance has attracted countless powerful figures from the older generation."
"Moreover, even if we wanted to buy it, we wouldn't have the means; this Soul Tempering Fruit would probably fetch an astronomical price."
"Just name your price when the time comes." Ling Yi has more Spirit Stone in his System Space than he can spend.
Bai Feng has no shortage of Spirit Stone, and with the feedback multiplied ten thousandfold to Ling Yi, Ling Yi naturally also has no shortage of Spirit Stone.
The amount of Spirit Stone Ling Yi currently possesses, while not comparable to that of major sects, is not far off.
The auction was very lively.
Elixirs, magical artifacts, treasure maps, array plates, and even auction announcements.
However, most of the bidders are independent cultivators and small sects; the truly powerful sects rarely participate.
These people are all here for the Soul Tempering Fruit.
The auction of the Soul Tempering Fruit was merely a prelude.
"They're here!"
About two hours later, the main event finally arrived, and even the extremely shrewd Lin Yue couldn't help but get excited.
The first offer was three million Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Then it soared to fifteen million.
By this time, there were far fewer people bidding.
Ling Yi said to Lin Yue, "Bid twenty million!"
Lin Yue swallowed hard. Although his Lin Clan could come up with 20 million, it would be a huge financial burden.
Seeing Ling Yi frown, Lin Yue was taken aback and quickly shouted out his bid.
This price is already outrageous; some people have given up on the auction and started thinking of unconventional ways to obtain the Soul Tempering Fruit.
But some people still followed him a few times.
When Lin Yue raised the price to 50 million, no one else bid.
The auctioneer finally brought down the gavel, Soul Tempering Fruit was finally in hand.
A few minutes later, the staff of Myriad Treasures Tower delivered the Soul Tempering Fruit, which, at Ling Yi's instruction, was put into Lin Yue's storage ring.
"Ding! You have bound yourself to the villain Lin Yue and obtained 1 Soul Tempering Fruit. 2000x Critical Hit triggered!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained 2000 Soul Tempering Fruit, which have been automatically added to your inventory."
Hearing the system notification, Ling Yi was in a great mood.
During this period, Bai Feng's side didn't make much of a fuss, and his cultivation level didn't improve. The feedback he gave Ling Yi was either Spirit Stone or some random pills, which weren't of much use to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi and Fu Xiyao's current snacks are all kinds of pills that can increase their cultivation, but to be honest, most of them taste pretty average.
I wonder what this Soul Tempering Fruit tastes like.
As soon as Ling Yi and his group left the auction house, more than a dozen Divine Sense swept towards them, most of them carrying strong hostility.
