Nine-Tailed Fox Bloodline!

"It's so dark... So this is the underworld. So there really is an underworld after death, and reincarnation really exists... I wonder where I'll be reborn in my next life, as long as I'm not reborn into the royal family again."

Nalan Xi waited for a while, but neither reincarnation nor the underworld soldiers appeared, and he also felt pain in his body.

I can sense that she's not dead yet?

"I was saved? I used the Liberation by Violence Technique, how could I possibly survive?" Nalan Xi was very puzzled. She reached out, touched a membrane, easily tore it open, and walked out.

This was a grand hall, and lying inside lay a very handsome young man. She couldn't discern his cultivation level, and he was currently very weak. The Great Grandmaster- level True Qi within his body was gone, and he had lost all his cultivation. This was a side effect of Liberation by Violence Technique. Once used, it burns one's cultivation, and even one's life. Even if one survives by chance with heaven-defying pills or a special physique, one will still lose all of their cultivation.

"Senior, did you save me?"

Nalan Xi slowly walked over, cupped his hands, and asked.

"I suppose so. My demonic pet saw you lying on the river and brought you back." Lin Ye saw that Nalan Xi seemed to be alright, only her cultivation was gone. This was even better, at least it would be easier to take on disciples.

"Would you be interested in becoming my apprentice?"

Lin Ye asked.

"Become an apprentice?" Nalan Xi was stunned, but when she thought about how weak she was now, how she had lost her cultivation, how she had no resources to start cultivating again, how her cultivation speed would be very slow, how she didn't know anything about this place, and how the Martial Saint of the Divine Paper Sect was tracking her, she was afraid that if she ran away and was discovered, she would not have the luck to live again.

Perhaps, becoming this person's apprentice and staying here isn't so bad. Besides, the other party probably used some incredibly powerful elixirs or treasures to save me, and paid such a high price, so they probably don't have any ill intentions towards me.

"This disciple is willing."

Nalan Xi bowed in homage.

And so, Lin Ye accepted his seventh disciple.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for accepting Nalan Xi as your disciple. You have gained 10,000 Devil Dao Points."

10,000 Devil Dao Points?

Lin Ye was surprised. This reward seemed much higher than that for accepting other disciples. Could it be that this disciple's identity was extraordinary, hence the larger reward? Or perhaps his cultivation level had increased, causing the system's reward to be higher as well?

In short, this is a good thing.

During the time that Nalan Xi was unconscious and recovering, he had gained a general understanding of Nalan Xi's physique. He had examined it carefully and found that while Nalan Xi was indeed human, he also possessed the bloodline of Demon Race. According to the physique testing talisman, Nalan Xi had the Nine-Tailed Fox Bloodline, but this bloodline was sealed.

Even though she was sealed, her physique was still that of Half-Demon Body. Under the influence of the Undying Devil Pill, her bloodline also changed to that of Nine-Tailed Devil Fox Bloodline, an even more terrifying bloodline. However, she could only cultivate Devil Cultivation Method and could no longer cultivate righteous Cultivation Method.

"My disciple, please introduce yourself."

Lin Ye didn't know this disciple very well, so he asked her to introduce herself.

"Master, my name is Nalan Xi. I am not from the Chu Kingdom. I come from another place outside of the Chu Kingdom. In the Chu Kingdom, I encountered someone harming the people. I wanted to kill the thief, but I was no match for him and was chased and severely injured." Nalan Xi gave a general account of his experience, but concealed the key information.

Lin Ye didn't delve into his disciple's background. "Nalan Xi, from now on I'll call you Xiao Xi. Xiao Rou, come and choose a place for your junior sister to stay. Rest for a few days."

"Yes, Master." Dongfang Rou walked over and led Nalan Xi out of the main hall, arranging accommodations for her.

After Dongfang Rou and Nalan Xi left, Lin Ye began searching the system shop for Body Refining techniques suitable for Nalan Xi. He knew that Nalan Xi originally had cultivation, but she had lost it due to some forbidden technique, so she had to start cultivating from scratch.

"Let's take this Body Refining technique."

Lin Ye exchanged for a Body Refining technique called the Demon Fox Devil Body, which was very suitable for Nalan Xi, who had a half-demon physique, but the name had to be changed to the Nine Fox Body Refining Technique.

He spent some time revising the general content, and planned to have Nalan Xi practice it in a few days.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. Nalan Xi ate tonics every day, and her body slowly recovered. She also used these days to heal her injuries.

This place is called Black-Yellow Sect, a two-star sect, but she can tell that this two-star sect is no ordinary sect. After all, which two-star sect could heal her after she had used the Liberation by Violence Technique?

This sect has only one sect leader and one female elder. There are only a few inner disciple and a lot of outer disciples. However, the outer disciples' cultivation is very weak. The inner disciple are all her master's disciples and her senior brothers and sisters. Her cultivation level is not very clear at the moment, since she has no cultivation. But she has seen a few of her senior brothers and sisters use True Qi, so they should be at the True Qi Realm or above. Their cultivation level is very low.

"This sect isn't very powerful, but its master is very mysterious."

This was her first impression.

"Junior Sister, Master is looking for you." Dongfang Rou walked over and informed Nalan Xi to go see Master Lin Ye.

"Third Senior Sister, I'll go right away."

Nalan Xi followed Dongfang Rou to Lin Ye's side.

"This is your sect identity token. As long as you're not too far away, you can contact your fellow disciples." Lin Ye handed the token to Nalan Xi.

Nalan Xi took it and immediately recognized it as Law Treasure- level identity token with communication and protection functions. It seemed that only sects of five stars or above would have such an identity token, and a two-star sect already had one. She gained a better understanding of this sect.

"And this Body Refining technique, you can take it and practice it."

Lin Ye handed over the Demon Fox Devil Body to Nalan Xi, along with some pills and Spirit Stone —basic benefits. He didn't give her Storage Bag, as Nalan Xi had her own storage ring.

Thank you, Master.

Nalan Xi took his leave.

Back at her residence, Nalan Xi didn't initially value the Body Refining technique her master had given her. After all, as a princess of a dynasty far surpassing Chu Kingdom, even as the least favored and least treated princess, she only cultivated a low-grade Heaven-level Body Refining technique. What good Body Refining technique could a two-star sect possibly offer?

However, perhaps because her body hadn't fully recovered, she had been trying to practice Body Refining techniques these past few days, but with little effect and very slow progress.

"Take a look."

Nalan Xi took a look at this Body Refining technique.

"Nine Fox Body Refining Technique"

"This..."

She immediately knew that her master had seen through her Nine-Tailed Fox Bloodline and half-demon physique; otherwise, he wouldn't have given her this Body Refining Cultivation Method.

"So, Master's cultivation level is at least Martial Saint?"

After all, in her view, only Martial Saint, and Martial Saint with extraordinary strength, could see through the sealed Nine-Tailed Fox Bloodline and half-demon physique within her.

She continued to peruse the manual, growing increasingly astonished. "This is a high-grade Heaven-level Body Refining technique, perfectly suited for the Nine-Tailed Fox Bloodline. A high-grade Heaven-level Body Refining technique is the ultimate Body Refining technique that Body Refining Realm martial artist can cultivate! My master actually gave it to me! Even within the royal family, only a very few core princes are qualified to cultivate it, and even then, only those with special physiques can. Otherwise, they still have to cultivate it. I possess the Nine-Tailed Fox Bloodline, enabling me to cultivate this Body Refining technique."

She was thrilled. If she could cultivate this Body Refining technique, she could build the strongest foundation, becoming even more powerful than before!
