7: Chapter 7 Senior Sister, True Feelings Still Exist in the World

Returning to his dilapidated thatched cottage, he fully refined the poisonous pills he had swallowed along with the Qi-Guiding Pills given by Gu Qinghuan.

He had expected a significant improvement, but he was still at the Second Grade of Qi Refining.

However, Lin Mo was already very satisfied; every step of cultivation was fraught with difficulty.

The exact number of Cultivators stuck in the Qi Refining Realm was unknown, but at least half of them had no hope of reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Reality was just that cruel.

This was only in the Hehuan Sect. With Lin Mo's current level at the Second Grade of Qi Refining at the age of twenty, coupled with his rapid progress, if he were thrown into a lower-tier Sect as a Disciple, he would definitely be the core of the Core Disciples, treated like an heirloom and catered to.

Lin Mo circulated his Qi for another minor cycle, exhaling the turbid air from his entire body.

Then he discovered with astonishment that his Dantian was different from others.

After completing Body Tempering, one stepped into the Qi Refining Realm. The so-called Qi Refining Realm primarily involved guiding Spiritual Qi into the body, cleansing the marrow and washing the tendons to alter one's Physique.

Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, a spiritual sea would condense at the Dantian. Though called a spiritual sea, it actually depended entirely on individual talent.

Some people might only have one the size of a fish tank, while others had a small stream. The Qi Sea of prodigies was naturally a vast ocean.

As the Realm improved, the Spiritual Qi in the Qi Sea would condense into spiritual liquid, and then slowly proceed toward Core Formation.

Yet Lin Mo discovered that he already possessed a spiritual sea within his Dantian—and he was only at the Second Grade of Qi Refining!

Moreover, this spiritual sea was completely a raging torrent of magma!

Most of the magma contained many Impurities, and it was boundless like a coiling crimson galaxy.

Currently, only one-third of it was completely free of Impurities.

Above this "crimson galaxy", there was also a particle resembling a small sun.

Lin Mo was still a layman regarding the path of immortality and did not know whether this was good or bad, and given his current situation, he dared not ask anyone.

He had no choice but to look for answers in the first chapter of the Blazing Sun Scripture.

Fortunately, the person who wrote this peerless Cultivation Technique was not one to show off with pretentious prose; they used mostly plain language with very few technical terms.

"Oh~ It turns out that those who possess the Undying Blazing Sun Sacred Body and cultivate the Blazing Sun Scripture can open up the spiritual sea in advance, transforming the inner Qi Sea into a blazing sun sea. The spiritual liquid catalyzed in the future will also be converted into True Yang Essence."

"Hmm... After converting Qi into Yang, can one refine the Chaos True Flame by relying on the True Yang Essence according to the diagram?"

Although Lin Mo did not know what the Chaos True Flame actually was, anything related to the word Chaos must be extremely awesome, right?

Thus, Lin Mo circulated the single seed of True Yang Essence currently in his body according to the route in the diagram, and after ten breaths, he was completely exhausted.

He finally understood that this required using oneself as a furnace to refine the essence, which could also produce an extraordinary body-forging effect?

Turns out this was still the path of a Body Cultivator?

That made sense... With such a violent and scorching thing, if there wasn't a formidable vessel to contain it, it would all go to waste.

Without realizing it, Lin Mo fell into a fervent immersion in the knowledge of seeking immortality.

It wasn't until the break of dawn, when the world grew bright, that he abruptly catalyzed a fingernail-sized Chaos True Flame in the palm of his hand.

The tiny flame was red on the outside and white on the inside, burning the surrounding space until it slightly distorted.

Protecting the flame with his palm, Lin Mo aimed it at an iron ingot he had picked up and brought back into the house. The moment it touched, the fist-thick iron ingot was burned right through.

"Awesome—!"

Just as Lin Mo prepared to test other items, he suddenly saw stars dancing before his eyes and hurriedly retrieved the Chaos True Flame.

His Realm was currently too low, and the Spiritual Qi in his body was still insufficient to support the external manifestation of the Chaos True Flame for a long time.

It was like a lighter running out of gas; it was impossible to spark a fire.

Lin Mo wiped the hot sweat seeping from his forehead and began to ponder whether he could use this thing to catch Wang Peilin off guard and instantly kill him.

There was indeed this possibility!

But the gamble was too huge and extremely easy to be investigated. Once he was caught, he would definitely be treated as a lab rat.

Lin Mo's fingers rhythmically tapped on the tabletop, and he couldn't help recalling the wild tryst he had seen earlier on the rockery.

Wang Peilin's Dao Companion, Zhao Yanan, had hooked up with Ximen Zecheng of Yuqiong Peak, and he himself had even swiped Ximen Zecheng's clothes.

As a third-class inner Disciple of Qingluan Peak, Wang Peilin, backed by his maternal uncle, secretly ran a pimping business outside the mountain gates, and all the women he captured were delicate and beautiful Mortal women.

Wang Peilin was exceptionally vicious at heart, treating them entirely as commodities and accepting any and all inhuman ways of playing with them.

Lin Mo had heard him say before that the Hehuan Mountain Range stretched for thousands of miles, and it was no exaggeration to say it was a nation unto itself; there were plenty of Mortals, so they could squander them as much as they liked.

Regarding this, Lin Mo expressed: Damn it, Sect Master Yue Lengchan spent nine hundred years whitewashing the Hehuan Sect from a demonic Sect into a righteous one.

It was precisely because of bastards like you that the Hehuan Sect was still looked down upon to this day.

This kind of person deserved to be killed in the first place!

Wang Peilin had an extremely strong desire for control and was extremely double-standards; he could play wildly, but he did not allow his woman to go play around outside.

"A beauty trap?" Lin Mo slapped the table. "No, it should be called a serial scheme of driving a tiger to swallow a wolf and catching them in the act!"

After pondering for a long time, Lin Mo took out Wang Peilin's communication jade talisman, injected a trace of Qi into it, and the jade talisman began to flash.

This jade talisman was issued by the Sect. With the Hehuan Sect's grand array in place, the interior was just like a local area network, and with this jade talisman, one could effortlessly contact the other party.

"Who the fuck is it, letting people sleep or not early in the morning?"

"Mm-ng~ Oh my, don't move around, you almost made me throw up."

"You little glutton, I was wondering how in my dream..."

Lin Mo sneered, Cuckold Wang.

"Senior Brother Wang, I am Lin Mo."

"Lin Mo? Who? Oh~ I remember. You fucking don't need to be in such a rush even if you are anxious. Do you know the rules? You can only be taken out of the mountain gate at night."

Lin Mo put on a very anxious yet apologetic tone: "Sorry, Senior Brother..."

"Alright, alright. Wait for me at the Red Maple Forest east of the mountain gate at a quarter past the Chen hour. Remember, if you're late by the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, I won't wait."

"Got it, Senior Brother. I won't disturb you any longer then."

Lin Mo turned off the communication jade talisman, put in a brand-new black attire of a Utility Disciple, tied his hair simply with a hair ribbon, and hurried toward the inner gate of Yuqiong Peak.

But after a while, he made a turn and went to Qingxue Pavilion, which was the Immortal Cave where Gu Qinghuan lived.

As soon as he arrived, he was dumbfounded. Although the grand array was still active, the entrance was filled with filthy items.

Rotting worn-out shoes, stinking bananas, saliva and phlegm all over the floor, and so on...

Throwing worn-out shoes—this left Lin Mo somewhat speechless; it was simply done purely to disgust someone.

Lin Mo sighed, snapped a branch off a nearby welcoming pine, used the twigs as a broom, and began to clean up.

Little did he know, everything was witnessed by Gu Qinghuan. She hesitated again and again, standing up then sitting down, sitting down then standing up.

Finally, with a long sigh, she flew on her sword and came outside the Immortal Cave.

Lin Mo was already prepared to leave when he suddenly heard a sword hum. Turning back to look, Gu Qinghuan, with clothes as white as snow and a cold, peerless elegance, had suddenly arrived.

"Senior Sister." Lin Mo executed an immortal greeting to pay his respects.

Gu Qinghuan's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she said bluntly: "Don't come here anymore in the future!"

Far from being annoyed, nor feeling that she failed to appreciate kindness, Lin Mo wore a warm smile instead: "Is Senior Sister afraid that I will be targeted by others?"

"It won't happen. This place has to be cleaned up sooner or later, otherwise if the Elders of the Law Enforcement Hall see it, they will definitely say it's an eyesore."

"On the other hand, Senior Sister, aren't you angry at all?"

Gu Qinghuan clenched the qiushuang jade sword in her hand: "In all my life, I hate dealing with rotten people and rotten matters the most. If it were the past, I would have long since used a sword..."

"Why say all this to you? Lin Mo, I am in such a state now. Even if you treat me like this, I cannot help you with anything, so..."

Hearing this, Lin Mo first froze, then before she finished speaking, he waved his hand without looking back and said: "True affection naturally exists in the Mortal world, Senior Sister."

Hearing this, Gu Qinghuan stood frozen in place for a long time. Until Lin Mo's figure completely disappeared from her sight, she was still repeating that sentence in the same spot: "True affection naturally exists in the Mortal world?"

"Childish!"
