Fifth Order, Mystic Sun Jade Body

The two rested briefly before Lin Changkong began searching Xuan Ming's body.

Xuan Ming had claimed to be tenth in the Outer Sect of the Mystic Moon Sect, so Lin Changkong didn't believe he wouldn't have anything good on him.

However, after searching for a while, Lin Changkong frowned. He really hadn't found anything valuable.

"Junior Brother, bring me the sachet from his waist to look at."

Lin Changkong glanced at the sachet on Xuan Ming's waist, pulled it off. He hadn't paid much attention to it before, as he didn't have a habit of wearing one.

Hong Ye took the sachet and looked at it, her eyes lighting up. "Junior Brother, this isn't an ordinary sachet, it's a storage bag. Don't you need one right now? You can use it."

As Hong Ye spoke, she channeled spiritual energy to destroy the seal on the sachet.

Xuan Ming's cultivation realm wasn't higher than hers, so the seal wasn't particularly strong and could be forcefully broken.

After breaking the seal, Hong Ye tossed the sachet to Lin Changkong.

Lin Changkong was also pleasantly surprised. He had been thinking about getting a storage bag after they returned, and now one had appeared right at his doorstep.

When he opened the storage bag, a pile of items immediately fell out. Lin Changkong inspected them. The storage bag's space wasn't very large, only about seven or eight square meters.

But for him now, it was definitely more than enough.

Both of them searched through the dropped items, looking for anything valuable.

"Spring Return Powder, ugh, how vulgar!"

Hong Ye rummaged through and found a pile of small bottles labeled "Spring Return Powder." She tossed them aside, her face flushing slightly.

Lin Changkong glanced at them and chuckled.

Judging by the name, they were likely aphrodisiacs.

The guy carried a pile of this stuff? He was quite something.

Afterward, they found several pink undergarments, chest binders, and other personal items belonging to a woman.

Hong Ye cursed, her face growing redder the more she looked.

Lin Changkong clicked his tongue in surprise, but he only found it amusing. After searching for a while, there weren't many truly useful items, only a few dozen spirit stones, which was even less than what he found at the Flood Dragon Gang.

However, a jade slip caught his attention. The jade slip was very smooth, with faint golden light flowing within, but it was intermittent.

Hong Ye took a look and said, "The jade slip has a seal on it. I'll break it and see."

After forcefully breaking the seal, dense golden characters appeared on the jade slip.

"Mystic Sun Jade Body, this is a body-refining technique from the Mystic Moon Sect!"

Hong Ye exclaimed, her eyes shining brightly, then she handed the jade slip to Lin Changkong.

"Junior Brother Lin, this is a great treasure. Aren't you cultivating Spirit and Body Dual Cultivation? This Mystic Sun Jade Body is perfect for you. Take it quickly."

Lin Changkong recalled Xuan Ming's strong physical defense earlier. He had thought at the time that the Mystic Moon Sect must have excellent body-refining techniques, and ones that were relatively common.

He hadn't expected to find one on Xuan Ming.

Lin Changkong took the jade slip and looked at it, his heart filled with joy. The Mystic Sun Jade Body was a fifth-tier body-refining technique, even higher than the Blood Fiend Saber Qi.

If he could master it, its power would be immense!

"What a treasure! But a fifth-tier technique, can Outer Sect Disciples of the Mystic Moon Sect cultivate it directly?"

Lin Changkong was a bit puzzled. He had asked Ye Wuchen before, and Ye Wuchen had said that the Outer Sect of the Heavenly Fire Sect didn't have any good body-refining techniques; only the Inner Sect had fourth and fifth-tier ones.

Was the Mystic Moon Sect so generous that Outer Sect Disciples could cultivate fifth-tier techniques?

Hong Ye said, "Junior Brother, you might not know this, but the Mystic Moon Sect was originally a sect that focused on body-refining. It had a glorious period in the past, but later, with the decline of body-refining and some unforeseen events, the Mystic Moon Sect also fell into decline.

Although it now focuses on spiritual cultivation, its foundation in body-refining remains. And the sect possesses high-tier body-refining techniques, which is why fifth-tier body-refining techniques can be provided to Outer Sect Disciples for cultivation. However, very few people can actually master them, and they are mostly used as an auxiliary method.

Unlike our Heavenly Fire Sect, which has always focused on spiritual cultivation, body-refining techniques are very rare. Furthermore, since almost no one chooses to be a body cultivator, the Outer Sect hasn't retained any good body-refining techniques."

"I see."

Lin Changkong understood and didn't stand on ceremony, immediately putting the jade slip away.

After organizing the items, he put the necessary things back into the storage bag and hung the storage bag on his waist. Together with Hong Ye, they went back to find Zhou Yue.

The three left the stronghold and returned to Black Dragon Town to inform the townsfolk about the annihilation of the Flood Dragon Gang. Only then, under the send-off of a crowd, did they embark on their journey back to the Heavenly Fire Sect.

The sun set, casting a vast afterglow.

Three fine horses galloped up the mountain, arriving at the gates of the Heavenly Fire Sect.

The three dismounted and entered the sect.

As soon as they entered the gate, Lin Changkong saw two familiar figures: Su Qingqing and Zhang Qingyun.

The two were clearly on a routine sect mission. Upon seeing Lin Changkong, their eyes darkened, and they looked as if they wanted to gnash their teeth.

But Lin Changkong merely glanced at them casually, chuckled, and walked straight past, still chatting and laughing with Hong Ye and Zhou Yue.

Su Qingqing and Zhang Qingyun no longer had the qualifications to warrant his attention.

Watching Lin Changkong ignore them and leave, Su Qingqing clenched her fists, resentment flashing in her eyes.

For the past decade or so, Lin Changkong had always been obedient to her. So, even after Lin Changkong entered the Outer Sect, she still found it unacceptable and subconsciously felt that Lin Changkong was not superior to her.

"Lin Changkong, what are you being so arrogant about? You just used some underhanded tactics to get into the Outer Sect, what's so great about that?

Next year, my Brother Qingyun will also enter the Outer Sect, and catching up to you will be as easy as pie.

You're showing off in front of me now, but you'll regret it later."

Hong Ye and Zhou Yue looked at her, completely bewildered, and asked Lin Changkong, "Junior Brother, who is she?"

Lin Changkong said calmly, "Just an idiot."

Su Qingqing was instantly furious, about to explode with anger.

"Lin Changkong, watch your mouth. You only entered the Inner Sect a year before Brother Qingyun, do you think you're that great?"

Zhang Qingyun also snorted coldly, "Lin Changkong, don't be too arrogant. Next year, when I enter the Inner Sect, I'll show you just how strong my strength and talent are!"

Lin Changkong stopped in his tracks and looked back at the two of them.

Suddenly, he took a step forward, and with a "boom," spiritual energy erupted and surged out, his aura instantly condensing to its peak.

The scorching spiritual energy was like a blazing flame burning the sky, emitting a terrifying pressure that directly struck Zhang Qingyun and Su Qingqing.

He took two more steps, killing intent erupting in his eyes, like an Asura reborn.

He didn't make a move, but the powerful spiritual energy pressed down on Su Qingqing and Zhang Qingyun like a surging tide.

"Bang!"

The two had no power to resist at all. Their knees buckled, and they were forced to their knees on the ground.

Lin Changkong looked down at them from above and smiled.

"Strength? In front of me, do you even qualify to talk about strength?"
