101: Chapter 101 Attention

Yan Zechen, a Disciple of Azure Severance Peak, was not the current generation's head Disciple of the peak, but he was one of Lin Ming's investment targets.

"The items you wanted."

Two iron hammers appeared in Lin Ming's hand, and he tossed them in front of Yan Zechen.

"Seventh-grade Low Grade."

Yan Zechen approached the two iron hammers with a look of joy on his face.

He casually wiped his greasy hands on his clothes.

With a burst of strength, he picked up the two iron hammers.

"Thank you, Senior."

A moment later, Yan Zechen looked at Lin Ming with an expression of excitement.

Seventh-grade Low Grade Origin Weapons—he finally possessed seventh-grade Origin Weapons.

Now, he wouldn't have to fear that fellow anymore.

"We each got what we needed,"

Lin Ming said indifferently.

Yan Zechen immediately took out his Storage Ring and handed it to Lin Ming.

With a movement of Lin Ming's Divine Thought, he saw the amount of essence stones inside clearly; it was exactly the right amount.

"Next time, I will contact you."

Lin Ming then disappeared from before Yan Zechen.

Meanwhile, Yan Zechen's attention remained entirely on the two Origin Weapons in his hands.

Seventh-grade Origin Weapons.

Just wait; this time, he wouldn't lose to that fellow.

On the other side...

After leaving Azure Severance Peak, Lin Ming originally intended to return to Zichen Peak.

However, he stopped in his tracks halfway.

His gaze turned toward the distance, looking beyond Yuanxu Mountain.

He could clearly perceive a clash of powers occurring outside Yuanxu Mountain.

The Nirvana Realm.

Which old fellow from the Demonic Path had come knocking?

Thinking of this, Lin Ming felt a bit curious and moved his body, heading toward the source of this power.

A thousand miles away...

Two people stood high in the sky. One was the Sect Master of Yuanxu Mountain, Sect Master Yun Xiao, and before him was an old man dressed in black.

Dozens of strands of Black Evil Qi appeared around the black-clad Elder. These dozens of strands of Black Evil Qi swept toward Sect Master Yun Xiao, and within each strand of Evil Qi was a monstrous killing intent, as if they could tear anything to shreds.

Facing this Black Evil Qi, Sect Master Yun Xiao raised a finger, and a seal appeared before him.

This seal collided with the Black Evil Qi, locking the dozens of strands of Black Evil Qi within the great seal and grinding them into nothingness.

"Spirit Severing Seal."

The old man said indifferently.

At the same time, Lin Ming's figure appeared not far away. He restrained his aura to the extreme, such that the two people present could not discover his existence.

Lin Ming naturally recognized one of the two: Sect Master Yun Xiao.

As for the other old man, Lin Ming had never seen him before.

"Senior Mo Shan, that's enough,"

Sect Master Yun Xiao looked at Mo Shan and said in a calm tone.

"You are quite good,"

Mo Shan said expressionlessly.

He could be considered to have acknowledged Sect Master Yun Xiao's strength.

"Then, what about this Junior's proposal?"

Sect Master Yun Xiao asked.

"My conditions..."

Mo Shan said in a deep voice.

"That is perfectly acceptable,"

Sect Master Yun Xiao nodded.

"Then let's proceed as you said."

As the words fell, the elderly Mo Shan transformed into a wisp of black Qi and disappeared from Sect Master Yun Xiao's sight.

Seeing this, a slight smile appeared on Sect Master Yun Xiao's calm face, and he then flew back toward Yuanxu Mountain.

"This fellow has become quite a bit stronger compared to the last time we fought."

Lin Ming said as he watched Sect Master Yun Xiao's departing figure.

He could clearly sense that Sect Master Yun Xiao's strength was significantly greater than when they had clashed last time.

He truly lived up to his reputation as the practitioner who had reached the Nirvana Realm the fastest in Yuanxu Mountain since its founding.

Except for Lin Ming, of course.

"Old Man Mo Shan."

Lin Ming had actually heard of this name before.

Old Man Mo Shan was one of the few Loose Cultivators in the Qingxuan Realm to have cultivated to the Nirvana Realm.

Moreover, this man seemed to have an irreconcilable feud with demonic cultivators. During a past clash with the Demonic Path, Old Man Mo Shan had relied on his own power to wipe out many Demonic Path Sects.

Because of this, he had drawn the schemes of the demonic cultivators and was ambushed by two demonic cultivators in the Nirvana Realm.

If Old Ancestor Yuanhe hadn't appeared in time, Old Man Mo Shan would likely have died in the demonic cultivators' trap.

However, since that clash, Old Man Mo Shan had vanished and had not appeared in the cultivation world.

He hadn't expected him to appear here and reach some sort of agreement with Sect Master Yun Xiao.

Regardless, this had nothing to do with Lin Ming; he was just a spectator.

He immediately returned to Zichen Peak.

...

The next day.

Early morning.

Lin Ming was forcibly dragged to the Sect's square by Yu Yaoqin to wait for the clashes of the Spirit Platform Realm.

A tall stone tablet stood on the square, which would display the names of the two people competing in a match.

Lin Ming's name also appeared on it; his opponent was a Disciple from Lingxiao Peak.

"Senior Brother Lin, it looks like we won't be running into each other for a while."

Luo Lingfeng walked over at this time and said to Lin Ming.

"Why? Do you really want to run into me?"

Lin Ming looked at Luo Lingfeng and asked in return.

"No, not at all."

Luo Lingfeng immediately shook his head.

"Well, I'm quite looking forward to running into you."

Lin Ming said with a playful smile.

He was curious whether Luo Lingfeng would continue to hide his cultivation or reveal his true strength in this Grand Competition.

"I might be eliminated before I even run into you, Senior Brother."

Luo Lingfeng said with a laugh.

A new round of the Sect's Grand Competition began.

Clashes between the Spirit Platform Realm, clashes between the Sea-Opening Realm.

Soon, it was Lin Ming's turn to take the stage.

"Lin Ming of Zichen Peak, Wu Jinsong of Lingxiao Peak."

An Elder announced at Platform Three.

In an instant, most people's gazes fell upon this high platform.

This was mainly because of Lin Ming, the Eldest Senior Brother of Zichen Peak and the first Disciple of Master Yun Hua.

Regarding his appearance, not only were the people of Yuanxu Mountain paying attention, but people from other Sects were also very focused on him.

After all, this Disciple was not famous in the cultivation world, and there wasn't much information on Lin Ming.

Perhaps he was a secret weapon of Yuanxu Mountain.

Therefore, the level of attention on Lin Ming was extremely high.

"The freak is here."

Among the Disciples of the Yongzhen Sect, a Disciple who had witnessed Lin Ming's entire performance muttered in a low voice.

During these few days at Yuanxu Mountain, he had specifically sought out some of his friends there to learn about Lin Ming's situation.

He learned from them that Lin Ming was exceptionally low-profile within Yuanxu Mountain and basically had no reputation.

At that moment, he knew that Lin Ming was likely a secret weapon quietly cultivated by that Master Yun Hua.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Ming slowly walked onto the high platform.

Lin Ming had long since grown accustomed to these gazes from below and around him; it was merely a matter of how many there were.

"Lingxiao Peak, Wu Jinsong."

Wu Jinsong looked at Lin Ming and said in a deep voice.

He didn't dare to lower his guard against Lin Ming, as he knew that Lin Ming had comprehended Triple Sword Intent.

If Lin Ming hadn't revealed his Triple Sword Intent, he believed he would have had a chance to defeat him.

But now, things were different.

"Zichen Peak, Lin Ming."
