217: Zhang Yechen challenges the Su family

Lin Ruiyang hastily wrote something random and sent it out, unsure if the other side would receive it. "Squeak..." Less than a breath after the message was sent, the Talisman in his hand turned to ash and vanished without a trace. "Didn't receive it?" Lin Ruiyang frowned deeply. He had never used this kind of communication Talisman before and didn't know if the other party could receive it, so he subconsciously muttered to himself.

However, this was a one-way communication Talisman. Even if the other side received it, they couldn't respond to him, only find him based on the appearance and address provided by the Talisman.

"Since System Bro couldn't give me a reward, I'll just have to earn it myself!" Lin Ruiyang shook his hand, his mind beginning to fantasize about the scene where the so-called Zhongli Muxue would send him Cultivation Techniques and pills.

"Uh... I'm helping her find her daughter, and she's giving me compensation. That's perfectly reasonable!" He coughed dryly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his actions. Everyone was "earning" resources based on their own abilities.

Anyway, he had read the original novel and knew the secrets of those important figures very well.

Lin Ruiyang took out the ancient spiritual marrow, directly broke it in half, and then used a secret technique to begin absorbing the spirituality within it, refining it.

The ancient spiritual marrow contained extremely strong energy. When it surged into his body, his entire body immediately felt a sense of swelling.

"Why is my body so painful? The last time I absorbed spiritual marrow liquid in the Ancient Kingdom Secret Realm, I didn't feel this!" Lin Ruiyang's face was filled with pain, his heart in a panic, as he tried hard to endure the pain coming from his body.

The spiritual marrow liquid absorbed in the Secret Realm last time, although much lower in grade, was still the same type of heavenly material and earthly treasure. Absorbing it back then only caused a tingling sensation all over his body, not this kind of feeling at all.

"Young Master Lin, don't worry. This Venerable One just checked, and found that within your body, there is a faint tendency to form an Immortal Spiritual Root. This is a good thing!" Just then, Luo Qingyu's voice came from the Qiankun Chamber, with a hint of shock in her tone.

"What? Immortal Spiritual Root..." Hearing Luo Qingyu's words, Lin Ruiyang immediately looked astonished and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Having read the original novel, he naturally knew what an Immortal Spiritual Root was; it was a necessary condition for becoming an immortal.

For those with innate Holy Bodies like Ye Qingcheng, their Immortal Spiritual Roots were born with them. However, Lin Ruiyang came from Blue Star, and both his Sun Immortal Body and the previous Primordial Chaos Holy Body were Acquired later, so he did not possess this Immortal Spiritual Root.

As for the earlier Pure Yang Body, it didn't even have the potential to become an immortal, let alone possess an Immortal Spiritual Root.

"It seems the heavens are still quite kind to me, giving me what I want..." Lin Ruiyang said with a smile on his lips, feeling delighted.

In recent days, as his cultivation steadily improved, he had begun to worry about cultivating an Immortal Spiritual Root. Unexpectedly, his luck was quite good, and it was actually in the process of forming.

"Heaven's will? You're thinking too much! You absorbed so much spiritual marrow liquid before, and now you're absorbing this spiritual marrow essence source. Even a pig could produce an Immortal Spiritual Root..." Hearing Lin Ruiyang's words, Luo Qingyu immediately looked disdainful, raising her head to look outside as if seeing an idiot, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

In her opinion, Lin Ruiyang at this moment was like a wild boar entering a city, a complete bumpkin.

"Uh... Immortal Fairy Lo is making fun..." Lin Ruiyang gave a wry smile, trying hard to ease the awkward atmosphere, and scratched his head with a simple and honest look.

At the same time, he was muttering inwardly, waiting for Luo Qingyu to rebuild her Physical Body and only recover to the Great Saint Realm. He would see how he, Lin Ruiyang, would deal with her then.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense, guard your mind, and refine the spiritual marrow essence source with all your might! Cultivating an Immortal Spiritual Root later takes two to three months just for this formation step!"

"Fortunately, you rented a cultivation chamber from the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild, which has the Law of time! If you were at the Yue Lai Inn, there would be no such conditions!" Luo Qingyu's voice sounded in Lin Ruiyang's ears again, urging him not to waste any more time.

As for the pain, how could it be more important than an Immortal Spiritual Root? Just bear with it, and it will pass. Only by experiencing trials can one become stronger.

Lin Ruiyang nodded, gritting his teeth. The energy of the spiritual marrow essence source was like a water snake, swimming through the Meridians of his entire body.

Wherever it passed, the hidden injuries left by battles were healing at an astonishing speed, and Impurities within his body were further expelled.

His entire body's blood boiled at this moment, as if the surging waves of an ancient long river were roaring.

And upon the Meridians, there was a faint trace of sacred spirituality, making people feel holy and ethereal.

Even the skin on his body turned a bronzed red, appearing healthy and powerful.

Time passed little by little. Three months had passed in the cultivation chamber, while only three days had passed outside.

A plain-looking young man with fierce eyes stood in front of the Su Family's affairs hall in the east of the city and shouted loudly.

"Ye Chen, a direct disciple of Huangji Peak from the Taichu Holy Land, challenges Su Chen of the Su Family!"

Ye Chen's voice was as loud as a bell, as if deliberately propelled by true energy, instantly spreading throughout the east of the city.

"Boom..."

"Who is challenging the Su Family?" Ye Chen's voice was like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake, immediately causing a huge stir in the east of the city.

"What? It's someone from the Taichu Holy Land again. The Dao Discussion Assembly is tomorrow, can't they just calm down..."

"I only know that Lin Ruiyang of the Taichu Holy Land is unparalleled in combat power. As for this Ye Chen, who the heck is he..."

"The Su Family is an ancient power. Is Ye Chen courting death..."

"Ye Chen? Isn't that the guy who relies on the Ancient Phoenix Princess? He even spread rumors a while ago, almost making me misunderstand Young Master Lin..."

Within a magnificent palace, Su Chen slowly rose from his seat, a playful smile on his lips, as if he already knew why Ye Chen had come.

"Chen'er, what enmity do you have with Ye Chen? Why did he come to challenge you?" From the main seat, a strong middle-aged man was closing his eyes to rest, his voice full of disdain.

Su Chen was the young Revered Master of his Su Family and had been his disciple since childhood. Although he hadn't returned to the Su Family for a long time, he had not relaxed his training of Su Chen at all.

He didn't know about the Su Family's kill order against Ye Chen before, which was why he asked this question.

"Reporting to Revered Master, last time in the Ancient Kingdom Secret Realm, this disciple was ambushed by Ye Chen and suffered inhuman torture! Later in Tiandu City, I only taught him a small lesson, but I didn't expect him to hold a grudge..."

"What? He dared to ambush you?" The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes, his brows furrowing slightly, a hint of anger rising in his heart.

"He was in the wrong first, and yet he still has the nerve to come challenge me? Where does he get the audacity..."

After pondering for a while, the middle-aged man continued, "However, I remember he is only in his early twenties, yet he has cultivated to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul Realm. He cannot be underestimated..."

To be able to Cultivate to the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm at such an age, in today's era of dwindling dharma, is considered a rare genius.
