45: Chapter 45 Pain is Just Right

The hell with having a connection with Demonic Cultivators.

Who would have known that I could run into Demonic Cultivators on my own Sect's territory just by casually doing a mission?

Running into Demonic Cultivators is one thing, but they were two Demonic Cultivators in the Other Shore Realm; this luck is truly something else.

If not for my strength being sufficient, it is hard to say what would have happened now.

"I will give this connection to you, do you want it?" Lin Ming looked at Yu Yaoqin and said.

"Forget it, I do not have the fortune to enjoy that." Yu Yaoqin immediately shook her head.

She had not forgotten that feeling of death, and she did not want to experience it again.

"It is fine now. This time, we will not let the shadow of any Demonic Cultivators exist within the borders of Yuanxu Mountain." Peak Master Yao Ruochu said to the group.

This time, Yuanxu Mountain's stance was very firm; they would not allow any Demonic Cultivator to exist within the territory of Yuanxu Mountain.

This was also the bottom line of Yuanxu Mountain.

"You all should just rest well at Hidden Sword Peak." Peak Master Yao Ruochu said.

Afterward, she left, disappearing from their sight.

"Junior Sister Yu, may I ask you a question?" Lin Ming said.

"What question? Go ahead." How strange, Senior Brother actually has something to ask me.

At this, Yu Yaoqin put on a knowledgeable appearance and said.

"The matter of me comprehending Sword Intent, it was you who spread it, right?" Lin Ming said slowly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Yaoqin's expression stiffened slightly.

"Um, when I was sparring with others, I accidentally let it slip." Yu Yaoqin said with an embarrassed look.

She swore that she really had not meant to let it slip; it was absolutely an accident.

"Was it really an accident?" Lin Ming looked disbelieving.

"It is true. In Senior Brother's eyes, am I that kind of person?" Yu Yaoqin immediately said with a serious face.

But Lin Ming's expression seemed to be telling her that she was exactly that kind of person.

"Junior Sister Su, am I that kind of person?" Yu Yaoqin immediately looked at Su Lianxue, trying to seek comfort from her.

But Su Lianxue's nod dealt a blow that cracked Yu Yaoqin's fragile heart.

Wait, how did Senior Brother know about this? Yu Yaoqin seemed to realize something.

"Senior Brother, it would not be that someone from our peak came looking for you, would it?" Yu Yaoqin asked cautiously.

"In this mission, there was someone named Fang Jinchen; he told me." Lin Ming said.

"Oh right, he also wants to challenge me."

She knew it. Yu Yaoqin knew that someone from Hidden Sword Peak had sought out Lin Ming; otherwise, Lin Ming would not have known about this.

"Junior Brother Fang, huh? It is fine, Senior Brother. Just leave it to me when the time comes." Yu Yaoqin took the matter upon herself and said.

This kind of small matter was not a big problem for her.

"I hope so." Lin Ming glanced at Yu Yaoqin and said.

Two consecutive days passed.

Revered Master's "Breakthrough" was still ongoing. As time passed, the news of True Monarch Yunhua breaking through to the Nirvana realm spread throughout the entire Sect.

All the Disciples hoped that True Monarch Yunhua would successfully achieve the Nirvana Breakthrough, as that would undoubtedly be a huge boost to their combat power for Yuanxu Mountain.

Moreover, the news about True Monarch Yunhua breaking through to Nirvana also reached the ears of other Sects.

Some hoped True Monarch Yunhua would succeed, while others hoped she would fail, and those hoping for the latter far outnumbered those hoping for the former.

However, no one dared to go to Yuanxu Mountain to disturb True Monarch Yunhua's Breakthrough; going to Yuanxu Mountain to disturb her Breakthrough was no different from seeking death.

Inside Zichen Peak, Lin Ming's figure appeared; he sauntered into the peak.

And his cheap Revered Master naturally could not perceive Lin Ming's presence.

Lin Ming walked to the waterfall, stepped into it, and arrived at his Immortal Cave.

He walked to the spirit herb garden, and the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb appeared in his hand.

He planted the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb in his spirit herb garden and simultaneously harvested a few spirit herbs that had already matured.

"Right." Lin Ming remembered something at this moment.

The time for the monthly trade with those few people was approaching, and the Medicinal Pills he needed to prepare for them were not ready yet.

Thinking of this, Lin Ming walked into the Alchemy room, and a cyan flame bloomed in his hand, falling beneath the Pill Furnace and heating the entire Pill Furnace.

One by one, the spirit herbs were tossed into the Pill Furnace, turning into liquid under the high temperature, with the Impurities being removed, leaving only the essence of the spirit herbs themselves.

They underwent Fusion and finally formed individual Medicinal Pills.

After refining the Medicinal Pills they needed, Lin Ming left Zichen Peak and returned to Hidden Sword Peak.

"Senior Brother, I am about to undergo the eighth Body Tempering." Su Lianxue said to Lin Ming when she saw him.

After two days of cultivation, she had finally reached the threshold for the eighth Body Tempering and could complete it at any time, but for the sake of the Medicinal Bath, she held back.

"Then let us do it at night." Lin Ming said.

Although they were not at Zichen Peak, because of this mission, Lin Ming carried the medicinal materials needed for Su Lianxue's Body Tempering with him, so that she could have the Medicinal Bath at any time.

"What at night? What are you going to do to Senior Sister Lianxue?" Yu Yaoqin popped out from who knows where.

She pulled Su Lianxue over, blocked her behind herself, and looked at Lin Ming with a vigilant expression.

It was as if she were looking at some kind of pervert.

"You blockhead, what are you thinking about again?" Lin Ming looked at Yu Yaoqin, feeling a sense of helplessness.

"What do you know? I am protecting Junior Sister. There have been so many people wanting to harass Junior Sister these past few days." Yu Yaoqin said with a serious face.

"Right, Junior Sister?"

"Mm." Su Lianxue also nodded subconsciously.

During the two days at Hidden Sword Peak, quite a few Disciples had deliberately sought out Su Lianxue due to her beauty, trying to strike up conversations and the like, causing Su Lianxue quite a bit of trouble.

Fortunately, Yu Yaoqin discovered it in time and blocked all of them.

"But Senior Brother is preparing the Medicinal Bath for my eighth Body Tempering." Su Lianxue explained.

"The eighth Body Tempering?!" Yu Yaoqin was also startled.

"Junior Sister, your cultivation speed is this fast?"

"Nonsense, with Nine-and-a-half-segment aptitude, you should think about it." Lin Ming glanced at Yu Yaoqin and said.

This was Nine-and-a-half-segment aptitude; there was nothing to be surprised about.

"You girl, stop thinking crooked thoughts all day long." Lin Ming walked in front of Yu Yaoqin and flicked her forehead.

"Ouch, that hurts, Senior Brother." Yu Yaoqin covered her forehead with one hand, looking like she was in pain.

Why? Why can I never dodge Senior Brother's flick?

"Pain is just right."
