2: Chapter 2 The Undying Sun Holy Body

Gu Qinghuan's cold and alluring peach blossom phoenix eyes swept over the crowd of the Hehuan Sect sitting on the high platform.

There were six chief Disciples, one deputy Sect Master—who was currently the acting Sect Master—and a representative from the cultivation family, the Chu family.

A trace of self-deprecating sneer appeared at the corner of Gu Qinghuan's mouth as she completely averted her gaze from her former seat.

What broke her heart was not the Chu family breaking off the engagement, but the cold indifference and disregard of her own Sect.

"Whether I am being presumptuous or not is not up to an old thing like you at the third rank of Soul Transformation to lecture me!"

"Starting from today, I, Gu Qinghuan, am severing ties with the Hehuan Sect!"

Lin Mo, who was still in shock over the System binding to the wrong person, was instantly startled upon hearing these words.

"What the hell? Are you out of your mind?!"

"If you leave the Hehuan Sect now, will you even have a way out?"

"No, she absolutely cannot be allowed to die. The matter with the System hasn't been figured out yet; what if she dies and the System disappears along with her?"

Lin Mo subconsciously took a step forward, but upon second thought, as a humble outer court Utility Disciple, what right to speak did he have?

If he went out to back up Gu Qinghuan at this moment, he would probably be crushed into minced meat by a wave of pressure before he could even open his mouth.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Lin Mo's forehead, trickling down his temples to the ground as he clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white.

Right at this moment, an intoxicating fragrant breeze suddenly arose.

A Fairy wearing a slit, shoulder-baring long dress, with a bewitching figure that could make one's blood surge at a single glance, drifted in from outside the hall.

Lin Mo recognized this person; she was Yu Meier, a fox demoness whose reputation had been soaring in recent years.

She was originally a first-class Disciple and had just filled the vacancy of Gu Qinghuan's chief Disciple position two days ago.

Twisting her slender waist like a water snake, she flew a circle around Gu Qinghuan before landing, speaking with orchid-like fragrance:

"What is Senior Sister doing? Nowadays, the Sect Master has been in seclusion for many years. Even if you want to leave, you still need the Sect Master's consent."

Gu Qinghuan held her long sword and brushed away the vixen's hand resting on her shoulder.

Deputy Sect Master Ren Qiuyu, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke:

"Qinghuan, the Sect is not unmindful of your contributions. It's just that now your sacred body is gone and your Realm has plummeted, making you truly unsuitable to continue serving as the chief Disciple."

"The Sect will not take back your Immortal Cave. You may rest easy and live there, and everything can be discussed after the Sect Master emerges from seclusion. As for your engagement with the Chu family..."

At the first seat on the right, Qin Changge, dressed in a cyan standing-collar robe with a closed Heavenly Eye on his forehead, wore a smile at the corner of his mouth:

"If it were me, I wouldn't shamelessly refuse to sign the golden contract."

Gu Qinghuan reached out her hand and said coldly: "Hand it over!"

When the Creation Golden Contract was handed before her, she bit her finger and wrote down her name.

"Such an engagement is something Gu Qinghuan never cared for in the first place!"

"If there is nothing else, Qinghuan takes her leave!"

Gu Qinghuan flew away without looking back.

Yu Meier supported her cheek and shook her head, her words capable of melting a person's bones with sweetness: "Aiya ya~ Still the same stinking temper as always."

With every move, this woman could captivate souls and stir hearts. Those Utility Disciples with low Realms hurriedly bowed to show respect!

Yu Meier flew up and sat in Gu Qinghuan's seat: "Hello, Senior Sisters and Senior Brothers~"

...

Lin Mo didn't listen to a single word of the second half and focused all his attention on the System.

Now that everyone had dispersed, he hurriedly chased after Wang Peilin, who was walking surrounded by a crowd.

Wang Peilin was a third-class Disciple of the Hehuan Sect's inner court, holding a post in the Affairs Hall, and could be considered the boss of these errands-running Utility Disciples.

Suddenly stopped by Lin Mo, Wang Peilin, who had a shallow black mole on the tip of his nose, looked slightly displeased:

"I remember you. You are the person from Senior Sister Ye's courtyard. Do you need something from me?"

Lin Mo made an immortal greeting and smiled: "I heard that Senior Brother Wang has a small business outside the mountain gate, and this Junior Brother has always been thinking..."

Wang Peilin scratched his forehead, smiling even more eccentrically. He told the others to leave first, then said:

"You're someone from Senior Sister Ye's courtyard, eh? Your primordial yang is still intact?"

"Oh~~ No wonder you came to find me. It seems you've been holding back quite a bit. Have you thought it through? The price I want is not low."

Lin Mo pulled a bag of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones from his bosom: "I understand the rules. I don't ask for much, as long as it provides a little comfort."

Wang Peilin tossed the Spirit Stones in his hand: "It seems Senior Sister Ye really dotes on you. Even a Utility Disciple can pull out these Spirit Stones. It's a bit few, but who am I to resist money, and I simply can't bear watching others suffer from holding back."

"But let's make it clear first. If you betray me..."

Lin Mo: "I understand, I understand. How would a humble Utility Disciple like me dare to act rashly."

"I wonder if Senior Brother can leave a communication jade talisman?"

"Naturally." Wang Peilin tossed him a thin jade talisman. "I've always put integrity first. To tell you the truth, others might fear Senior Sister Ye, but I don't. I just don't want to invite unnecessary trouble. If Senior Sister asks about the whereabouts of your primordial yang, you'll have to make up a story yourself."

Lin Mo smiled: "Junior Brother naturally knows Senior Brother's great reputation, please rest assured."

[You laid down your arrogance and reserve, and obtained Wang Peilin's communication jade talisman. Mission complete!]

[Reward: Meridians repair, Sacred Body repair]

[Reward: Ultimate Yang and Ultimate Strong Sacred Body — Undying Blazing Sun Sacred Body and Blazing Sun Scripture. This Cultivation Technique is an important puzzle piece for your dark transformation to supremacy. In the future, you can bestow it upon mouldable individuals on whom you have planted a slave seal! This reward is exceptionally powerful, please bestow it with caution!]

[Do you wish to claim the reward?]

Lin Mo used his mind to click no. After bidding farewell to Wang Peilin, he found a secluded artificial rockery in the inner court and drilled into it.

Sitting cross-legged on a smooth boulder, he fell into a moment of confusion. The System said it would repair his Meridians and Sacred Body.

The key was that he didn't have a Sacred Body, and his Meridians weren't damaged. Would rashly claiming it cause injury?

After thinking over and over again, Ye Zhirou treated him like a lab rat and might take his life at any moment, and recently this sense of crisis had been growing heavier.

He could die either way, so why not take a gamble? Take a gamble, and a bicycle turns into a motorcycle!

"Claim the reward!"

[Reward distributed!]

"Ah!"

"Hmm?"

"Why is there no reaction at all?"

But as soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, the blood in his body boiled instantly.

His entire body turned red from burning, and an aura of ultimate yang and ultimate strength coursed through his limbs and bones, forcing out all the impurities in his body.

His clothes were burned completely clean. Unable to bear it, he jumped straight into a pool.

Bubbling away, the water in the pool was evaporated and polluted.

Lin Mo only felt flesh growing in the cracks of his bones, and many profound diagrams and texts appeared in his mind.

The pool water suddenly burst open, and the Spiritual Qi within his body surged rapidly, leaping directly from the sixth rank of Body Tempering to the first rank of Qi Refining!

The stark naked Lin Mo stood in the dried-up pool.

"So this fucking feels like guiding qi into the body! Awesome!!!"

The opening of his acupuncture points allowed Lin Mo to quickly become familiar with the circulation direction of the qi mechanisms in his body, returning to normal in the blink of an eye.

However, the breeze brought a faint chill. As a Utility Disciple, he had no storage Spiritual Artifact on him, and his clothes had been burned completely clean.

What should he do now?

"Senior Brother Ximen, isn't it bad here? Wu~ How annoying."

The rustling sound of clothes being taken off came from deep within the rockery.

"Senior Brother, this really won't do here. If Wang Peilin finds out, he'll fix me to death."

"Tch~ Wang Peilin himself keeps so many women outside the mountain gate, allowing himself to make merry every night, but not allowing you and me to be intimate?"

"Wu~ Senior Brother, you can't. Wang Peilin is just that kind of person with a perverted desire for control. Let's find an empty room and talk about it, okay?"

"You slut, don't I know you? You just like this kind of stimulating stuff, otherwise would you have seduced me?"

"Senior Brother, you're bad. I, I didn't at all, Wu..."

Lin Mo turned over and went up, incarnating into a member of the Crotch-Covering Faction as he stealthily groped his way over.

Right beside the ornamental rocks, a large-scale drama of undergoing investigation was being staged!

Lin Mo used a bamboo pole to hook the male Disciple's clothes, hurriedly put them on, took a small path out of the inner court, returned to his room, then burned the clothes to ashes, and drew cold water to rinse his body.
