"Hmm?" Lin Yu frowned. He noticed that before the young man disappeared, he seemed to have thrown something out. The object drew an arc in the air and flew straight towards Lin Yu.
"Whoosh!"
Lin Yu flicked his wrist and caught the object. It was a black bead about the size of a fist, emanating a powerful aura that seemed to hold some kind of secret.
Lin Yu examined it carefully and found that wisps of black gas were swirling and billowing inside the black bead, seemingly containing some strange power.
"What is this?" Lin Yu stared at the black bead in confusion, realizing that his spiritual sense couldn't penetrate it at all.
He tried to crush the bead, but he couldn't break it at all. He could only watch helplessly as the bead spun in the air, seemingly brewing some terrifying power.
"Something's not right, this bead is very strange!"
Lin Yu frowned and put the black bead away.
" Lin Yu, what are you doing? You stole that young man's treasure, why don't you kill him?" Xue Qing asked beside Lin Yu. "I feel this guy is not simple!"
"Kill him? No way! This young man is very likely a Golden Core stage expert. Killing him won't do me any good!" Lin Yu shook his head.
"How could a cultivator at the Golden Core stage possibly be cultivating in the mortal realm? This is the Immortal World!" Xue Qing exclaimed in surprise. "He must have come from outside, and might even be a powerful figure from the Immortal World!"
"This world is still too vast, and the Immortal World isn't entirely safe. Many people want to cultivate Immortal World, but they can't leave easily," Lin Yu said calmly. "However, they must possess a certain level of strength to cultivate in the Immortal World. I'm no match for that Golden Core cultivator!"
" Lin Yu, you can actually give up this mission. Although it's dangerous, it also offers many opportunities! You're currently in the Immortal Spirit Realm. As long as you can reach the Refining God Realm or even the Spirit Transformation Realm, you can become a king in the Immortal World. At that time, will you still be afraid of not finding opportunities?" Xue Qing advised.
"You don't understand!"
Lin Yu sighed and shook his head.
"What I want is not empty fame, but the strength of a powerful being, and my goal is to ascend to Immortal!"
Lin Yu said firmly, "This time I came to the Immortal Realm to find cultivation resources because I want to improve my strength as soon as possible, and strive to increase my strength quickly, and then..."
Lin Yu paused slightly, then continued, "Then go and explore that world; that world is the true paradise for the strong!"
Lin Yu's goal is the pinnacle of the Immortal World.
Xue Qing was slightly taken aback when she heard Lin Yu's words. She hadn't expected Lin Yu to have such lofty ambitions.
" Lin Yu, you..." Xue Qing wanted to persuade Lin Yu, but she didn't know what to say.
"Alright, that's enough. After this assessment, I'll go into seclusion to prepare for my ascension!"
Lin Yu made up his mind that after this assessment, he would go into seclusion and strive to ascend to the Immortal World as soon as possible. After becoming Immortal and ascending to the Immortal World, he would start searching everywhere for various cultivation methods to improve his strength as quickly as possible.
Lin Yu is only at the Nine Heavens of Qi Refining, which is not enough for him to gain a foothold in the Immortal World.
If he were in the mortal realm, with his current strength, he could even contend with immortals.
However, in the Immortal World, immortals are everywhere, and once surrounded, Lin Yu would have no chance to fight back.
Cultivating in the Immortal World is the best choice!
Lin Yu made up his mind and went to do it.
The next day, Lin Yu left the city.
Lin Yu first arrived near the Azure Dragon Mountain Range. He wanted to collect the corpses of these demonic beasts and take them back to refine magical artifacts to increase their power. At the same time, Lin Yu also needed the bones of these demonic beasts to refine a set of array plates or defensive magical artifacts.
Lin Yu's array plate was only a basic immortal array. Although it was much more powerful than some ordinary lower-level immortal arrays, it was still quite unlikely to break the array set up by these demonic beasts.
Lin Yu first used his spiritual fire to burn the bones of these demonic beasts to ashes, and then dug out the flesh and inner cores of some of them.
Lin Yu divided the meat and inner cores into three portions, each containing very small quantities, but all of them were precious materials from demonic beasts. Lin Yu wrapped them with his divine sense and then stored them in his storage ring.
Lin Yu collected the demonic crystals, beast cores, and spirit pills from these demonic beasts before returning.
After returning to the city, Lin Yu went directly to the Alchemist Guild, exchanged the demon crystals he had obtained from hunting demon beasts for contribution points, and after handing over 1,000 contribution points, Lin Yu left the Alchemist Guild.
Next, Lin Yu went to a valley and picked all the spiritual herbs he had hunted, refining them into healing pills.
Lin Yu came to the Alchemist Guild to exchange for spiritual herbs, and also to learn from the alchemists to improve his alchemy skills.
Lin Yu stayed here for two whole days before leaving the Alchemist Guild.
Before leaving, Lin Yu went to the pharmacy and bought all the refined spiritual herbs.
Alchemists don't earn much, only a few million contribution points per month. However, Lin Yu considers these few million insignificant.
After purchasing the medicinal herbs, Lin Yu left the pharmacy.
Along the way, Lin Yu was not idle, collecting demon crystals and spending a large number of contribution points.
During this period, Lin Yu earned a considerable amount of demon crystals, totaling around ten million. Lin Yu estimated that these demon crystals were enough to buy a top-grade spiritual weapon!
Lin Yu stored all the demon crystals in a storage bag. In addition, Lin Yu also had more than a thousand storage rings, which were also Lin Yu spoils of war. Lin Yu planned to use these storage rings to exchange the storage bags for contribution points and success points.
" Lin Yu, these ten million contribution points should be enough for you to break through to the Refining God Realm, right? I believe that with your current cultivation aptitude, you'll definitely thrive in the Immortal Realm!"
Lin Yu had just arrived on Yunlan Star when he heard a slightly familiar voice behind him.
"What brings you here?" Lin Yu frowned slightly; he didn't like getting too close to Li Tianyu.
Li Tianyu smiled and said, "What? You don't want to see me? We cultivated together before, so we're practically fellow disciples, aren't we?"
Li Tianyu's words made it difficult for Lin Yu to refuse. After all, Li Tianyu was also his senior brother, and the feud between them was caused by Lin Yu. Lin Yu could no longer refuse Li Tianyu.
"Let's go, let's chat as we fly. You don't want so many people watching, do you?" Li Tianyu chuckled.
"Weren't you supposed to be taking the assessment? What's wrong?" Lin Yu asked, puzzled.
