61: Chapter 61 Senior Brother, you weren't spying, were you?

A Field of Wolf Corpses

Su Lianxue was surrounded by a field of wolf corpses; before her, that Eighth-Layer Body Tempering Yao Beast lay at her feet.

Dealing with this Yao Beast had taken some effort, and she had sustained some minor injuries.

"Junior Sister, such a battle record for your first fight, not bad at all."

Lin Ming's praise rang in Su Lianxue's ears.

To this, Su Lianxue replied with an expressionless face.

It was just a pack of Yao Beasts, with the strongest only at the Eighth-Layer Body Tempering; she should have won, there was nothing to be proud of.

"Heal your wounds, then prepare for the Medicinal Bath."

Lin Ming said with a smile.

Su Lianxue walked to the side, took out a Medicinal Pill, and treated the minor injuries on her body.

About an hour passed; Su Lianxue not only recovered from her injuries but also adjusted her state to the best possible condition.

She was only one step away from the tenth Body Tempering; she certainly could not allow any mistakes to happen.

Lin Ming's side had also prepared the Medicinal Bath; bright red liquid boiled in the wooden barrel, emitting a strange fragrance.

Lin Ming locked this fragrance within the wooden barrel; after all, they were in the wilderness, and if it attracted more Yao Beasts, it would indeed be a troublesome matter.

He had to prevent such troublesome things from happening.

The flames dissipated.

"Junior Sister, it is ready."

Lin Ming looked at Su Lianxue and said.

Seeing this, Su Lianxue walked to the side of the wooden barrel, her gaze falling upon the bright red medicinal liquid.

"Senior Brother, why is it red?"

Su Lianxue asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Because this is your tenth Body Tempering, I added some different spiritual materials to increase the chances of your Body Tempering success."

Lin Ming told her.

This was a Medicinal Bath Lin Ming had developed when he had nothing better to do.

"Really?"

Su Lianxue expressed her doubts.

"You will know once you try it."

Lin Ming rolled his eyes at Su Lianxue and said.

"Then Senior Brother, you won't peek, will you?"

Su Lianxue looked at Lin Ming with a serious expression and suddenly said these words.

However, she was met with a flick from Lin Ming.

The flick landed on Su Lianxue's fair forehead.

"Ouch..."

Su Lianxue covered her forehead with one hand, crying out in pain.

"Stop learning this from that girl Yu Yaoqin; is your Senior Brother the type of person to do that?"

Lin Ming said with annoyance.

His Junior Sister was usually normal, but she would occasionally blurt out things like this. In Lin Ming's opinion, this was because she had spent too much time with Yu Yaoqin and had been corrupted by that girl.

Peek?

He was a gentleman, alright? How could he possibly do such a thing?

Although his Junior Sister was indeed a beauty, he would never do something like that.

Lin Ming was a man of principle.

Lin Ming turned and left immediately; before leaving, he placed one hand on the ground.

"Rise."

With a soft shout, a wall of earth rose from the ground, standing about three meters high before them.

"This should be fine now."

Lin Ming clapped his hands, glanced at Su Lianxue, then stepped over the earth wall and walked out.

Looking at the earth wall, Su Lianxue smiled.

She had indeed been joking just now; it had been a long time since she felt this relaxed.

Her gaze returned to the wooden barrel.

Walking to the side of the wooden barrel, she removed her clothes one by one. Stepping in with her snow-white legs, Su Lianxue's body submerged into the bright red Medicinal Bath.

Stinging Sensation

As soon as she entered the Medicinal Bath, Su Lianxue felt a slight stinging sensation, stimulating her skin and her body.

The Qi and blood within her body subconsciously began to circulate.

Following that, Su Lianxue's breathing became rhythmic; with each inhalation and exhalation, her entire body began to function.

Advancing towards the tenth Body Tempering.

The stinging sensation became increasingly intense; every part of her body could feel this sting.

But she could also perceive that along with this stinging sensation, a force of medicinal power rushed into her body, helping her break through to the tenth Body Tempering.

Time passed second by second.

The stinging sensation gradually transformed into pain, an increasingly intense pain.

Despite this, Su Lianxue remained expressionless.

"There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Lin Ming leaned against a tree and looked in the direction of the earth wall.

Breaking Through to the Tenth Body Tempering

Given his Junior Sister's Foundation, there shouldn't be any problems.

Although her Cultivation progress was extremely fast, her Foundation was extremely solid; there were no issues like a shaky Foundation.

It was precisely because he saw this that Lin Ming prepared the Medicinal Bath for Su Lianxue.

Otherwise, he would have had Su Lianxue continue to consolidate her Foundation.

An hour passed.

The pain had long since dissipated, and the bright red medicinal liquid had now turned into murky water containing some Impurities.

Su Lianxue slowly opened her eyes, a hint of a smile appearing on her face.

Tenth Body Tempering, success.

She had successfully entered the ranks of the tenth Body Tempering.

Su Lianxue stepped out of the wooden barrel and jumped straight into a lake, washing her body.

A moment later, Su Lianxue changed into her clothes and walked out.

"Success."

Lin Ming looked at Su Lianxue as she walked out and nodded.

"Thank you, Senior Brother."

Su Lianxue said to Lin Ming with a serious expression.

It could be said that in terms of Cultivation, Lin Ming was the person who helped her the most.

"Everything is due to your own efforts; I didn't help much."

Lin Ming shook his head.

"You've reached the tenth Body Tempering, do you intend to continue?"

Lin Ming asked.

"I still want to try."

Su Lianxue nodded.

Her goal was not just the tenth Body Tempering; since she had reached this step, she must continue.

Su Lianxue now had an inexplicable confidence; she believed she could complete the eleventh Body Tempering, surpass her former self, and advance further.

"Good."

Lin Ming nodded.

Since his Junior Sister wanted to push forward, as her Senior Brother, he naturally had to help.

Moreover, given Su Lianxue's Cultivation Aptitude, it would indeed be a pity not to push for it.

"Pack up, let's go."

Lin Ming turned and walked towards the spirit boat.

Five days later.

A huge city gradually appeared before them, appearing within their line of sight.

Tianyuan City, located at the border of Yuanxu Mountain; once one passed east of Tianyuan City, it was no longer within the territory of Yuanxu Mountain.

The two of them had spent fifteen or sixteen days, even with the eighth-rank spirit boat traveling at full speed, to reach Tianyuan City.

Otherwise, following a normal route and taking an ordinary spirit boat, it would probably take about a month to reach Tianyuan City.

A three-month round trip from Tianyuan City to the Yongzhen Sect; with his weak strength in the Spirit Platform Realm, under normal circumstances, it would certainly not be enough.

Fortunately, his cheap Revered Master had made arrangements.
