79: Chapter 79 Junior Sister, you're really popular!

"Reporting to Elder, Elder Tian Hen's soul lamp has extinguished."

In a gloomy graveyard, a pale, hunched man stood before a grave, speaking with a calm expression.

"Those lunatics from the Blood Fiend Sect, if it weren't for them..."

An aged voice, carrying a hint of chill, emanated from the grave.

"Have all the people within the vicinity of Yuanxu Mountain been withdrawn?"

"Yes, Elder."

Yuanxu Mountain was not their primary area of infiltration, so they did not have many personnel within its territory.

Except for the three people including Tian Hen who were killed, all their other personnel had withdrawn from the territory of Yuanxu Mountain.

"Have them lay low for now."

"Yes."

The graveyard returned to silence once more.

...

Guangling City

In a mountain village outside the city.

"Is this what a teleportation Formation feels like?"

Lin Ming appeared in the teleportation Formation here; it was his first time using a teleportation Formation, and it truly gave him a peculiar sensation.

"We are currently at the location of Guangling City; we still have about half a month of travel ahead."

Zhao Hong said in a deep voice.

Although both sides had been researching teleportation Formations, Yuanxu Mountain was clearly superior, having set up the first short-distance teleportation Formation to transport them from Tianyuan City to the location of Guangling City.

Guangling City was not affiliated with any faction; it was a city built by an Immortal Master of the Bitter Sea Realm named Ling Yue.

It could be considered a city for Loose Cultivators.

They walked out of the teleportation Formation, left the small mountain village, and arrived outside the village.

A spirit boat appeared before them.

Twenty-five days later.

A continuous mountain range appeared in their line of sight.

"Is this the Yongzhen Sect?"

Su Lianxue looked at the mountain range before her, along with the scattered buildings on it, and said.

After learning about the Yongzhen Sect over these past few days, it reminded Su Lianxue of a certain Sect in the Upper Realm.

Perhaps this Yongzhen Sect was also left behind by them.

After all, that old thing loved leaving behind sparks in various places.

The Lower Realm was no exception.

"That's right."

Lin Ming nodded.

Although it was his first time visiting the Yongzhen Sect, he had seen its full appearance through other channels.

Lin Ming only glanced at the Yongzhen Sect before his gaze returned to Su Lianxue.

This girl had already begun to attempt the eleventh Body Tempering.

In just about a month, she had completed the tenth Body Tempering and was preparing to attempt the eleventh.

This cultivation speed had already broken the Body Tempering record of Yuanxu Mountain, provided that he himself was not included.

"Junior Sister's cultivation speed is too fast."

Lin Ming said with a smile.

"Everything is because of Senior Brother's help."

Su Lianxue thanked Lin Ming.

The reason why her cultivation speed could reach such a level was inseparable from Lin Ming's help.

top-quality blood-qi pills—Lin Ming constantly provided her with top-quality blood-qi pills, and the Medicinal Bath provided during every Breakthrough laid a strong Foundation for her, increasing her cultivation speed and greatly reducing the time she spent in the Body Tempering Realm.

Su Lianxue even suspected at one point that these top-quality blood-qi pills were not provided by their Revered Master, but refined by Lin Ming himself.

But she only suspected it; she had no sufficient evidence.

As for cultivation speed?

Su Lianxue absolutely disagreed with what Lin Ming said.

Compared to Lin Ming, Su Lianxue felt her own cultivation speed was just average.

After all, her Senior Brother was now very likely an expert in the Other Shore or even the Nirvana Realm.

Even if it were her at Lin Ming's age, she would not have reached this level of strength.

Now that Lin Ming was telling her that her cultivation speed was fast, Su Lianxue would not agree.

"I haven't helped you that much."

Lin Ming shook his head.

"However, you can take advantage of the Yongzhen Sect's Thunder Origin Pool to take that step."

Lin Ming said.

The Thunder Origin Pool, a Sacred Artifact of the Yongzhen Sect, could draw upon the power of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth to temper a cultivator's physique. Moreover, for cultivators practicing the Dao of Thunder, it was considered a supreme treasure.

What Su Lianxue needed to utilize was naturally the Thunder Origin Pool, the one suitable for the Body Tempering Realm.

Perhaps in the Thunder Origin Pool, Su Lianxue would be able to take the eleventh step.

"Mm."

Su Lianxue nodded.

If she could use the power of the Thunder Origin Pool to step into the eleventh step, that would naturally be the best thing.

This was her purpose for coming to the Yongzhen Sect in the first place.

The spirit boat stopped in front of the Yongzhen Sect's mountain gate. Everyone disembarked and walked into the Yongzhen Sect on foot.

Before stepping into the Yongzhen Sect, Lin Ming had already sensed the Formation covering the outside of the Yongzhen Sect.

The Yongzhen Zhou Tian Formation, its grade unknown, but it was renowned. During a great battle five hundred years ago, two Old Ancestors of the Demonic Path at the Nirvana Realm led people to ambush the Yongzhen Sect.

As a result, after bombarding it for nearly seven days, they were unable to break the Yongzhen Zhou Tian Formation.

Rumor had it that this Yongzhen Zhou Tian Formation was a Level 9 Formation.

But now Lin Ming felt that this Yongzhen Zhou Tian Formation was not merely a Level 9 Formation.

This Yongzhen Sect was indeed not simple.

Regarding the origins of the Yongzhen Sect, he had heard a few things from his own cheap Revered Master.

It was said that this Yongzhen Sect was not a native Sect of the Qingxuan Realm, but a tradition left behind in the Qingxuan Realm by a certain cultivator from the Upper Realm.

But this was only a guess, with no concrete evidence.

But if this speculation turned out to be true, then everything could be explained.

Most of the Legacies of the Qingyuan Realm were destroyed in that catastrophe, resulting in many things being lost.

For example, in the Dao of Formations, the strongest Formation Master in the Qingyuan Realm now was an Level 8 Formation Revered Master.

Of course, this was excluding Lin Ming.

Yet the Yongzhen Sect was protected by a suspected Saint-Grade Formation; either the Yongzhen Sect had obtained the Legacy of some Sect from ten thousand years ago, or it was indeed a tradition from the Upper Realm.

Continuing forward, the group walked into the Yongzhen Sect.

Along the way, Lin Ming and the others attracted the attention of quite a few people.

Part of it was because of Zhao Hong, and the other part was because of Su Lianxue.

Su Lianxue's stunningly beautiful face attracted the gazes of many Disciples, leading them to wonder if Su Lianxue was a newly joined Disciple of their Yongzhen Sect.

If she really was, then not only would they get to feast their eyes, but there might even be a chance to get intimate with her.

"Junior Sister, you are truly popular."

Lin Ming also noticed these gazes falling on Su Lianxue and teased her.

Su Lianxue ignored Lin Ming and continued walking on her own.

Before long, they arrived at a row of houses.

"You two, rest here for today, and we will visit Elder Mu Shan tomorrow."

Zhao Hong said to the two.

Mu Shan was the friend of his cheap Revered Master, and the person they were visiting on this trip.

Lin Ming had also met this person before; he could only say that this person was also someone with an eccentric temperament.
