Wrong room, wrong bed!

Watching her leave, Lin Yuan was in a great mood. He controlled his Escape Light and flew straight to the Pill Treasure Pavilion at the peak.

Inside the Pill Treasure Pavilion, people came and went.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the counter, but he didn't see that familiar figure; Qing Tan wasn't there.

Behind the counter where she usually was, there was now an old man with a goatee and a shrewd face.

"Senior Brother, are you here to purchase Spiritual Materials or turn in a mission?" The old man saw the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivation emanating from Lin Yuan and immediately put on a professional smile. "This humble one is Sun Mou, the new Manager of the Pill Treasure Pavilion."

Lin Yuan only pondered for a moment before understanding. Qing Tan's Divine Soul injury must have healed, and with her Heart-Nature, she would naturally strive for a higher Realm, no longer wasting time in such a place.

He cupped his fists in return: "Manager Sun, a few days ago, I accepted the mission to refine qi replenishing pills and qi supplementing pills. I've come to deliver them."

Saying that, he placed two Jade Bottles on the counter.

Sun Mou took the Jade Bottles, pulled out the stoppers, and with just a light sniff, his shrewd eyes suddenly lit up.

He hastily poured the Medicinal Pills onto a jade plate. Sixty round, plump Medicinal Pills, overflowing with pill fragrance and containing inner pill essence, rolled out, startling him so much he almost plucked off his beard.

"Tsk tsk... Senior Brother, amazing! These... these are all supreme grade pills!"

After Sun Mou finished counting, when he looked at Lin Yuan again, his gaze had changed from professional politeness to genuine awe and flattery.

"Senior Brother! According to Sect rules, for supreme grade Medicinal Pills, contribution points are doubled! These two bottles of Medicinal Pills give you a total of one hundred and twenty Sect contribution points. Please take them!"

Sun Mou respectfully took out one hundred and twenty Black Butterfly Coins.

Lin Yuan put them into his Storage Pouch, and amidst the envious or awestruck gazes of the crowd, he secretly pondered.

"After seven consecutive days of secluded Cultivation, it's time to relax my muscles and bones. Why not... go to the Peak Masters Residence to have an in-depth exchange with Mu Wanqing, and incidentally earn some attribute points? And also ask about Qing Tan's whereabouts, and the Pill Formula for zeng yuan pills..."

He chuckled, controlling his Escape Light, and flew towards the Peak Masters Residence... Meanwhile, in a deep Immortal Cave shrouded in dense black Qi.

Gu Zheng respectfully saluted the withered figure on the main seat: "Grandfather."

"Did you see him?" Immortal Master Xuan Yin opened his eyes, and from those turbid eyes, a divine light completely different from his withered appearance shone.

Gu Zheng nodded.

"How was it?"

"As Grandfather said." Gu Zheng's voice was still clear, but recalling Lin Yuan, her tone had a slight fluctuation. "That person's Foundation is unfathomably deep. He is now at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, but the profoundness of his magic power far exceeds that of ordinary Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivators."

"Oh? Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage? This Cultivation progress is indeed extraordinary; his Aptitude must be good!" Immortal Master Xuan Yin's old face, like withered tree bark, showed a hint of a smile.

"This child is no ordinary person. His Heart-Nature is steady, his actions are meticulous, and when facing me, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and can even seize the opportunity to secure the greatest benefits for himself. He is naturally destined for great things."

"A young man who can produce a nirvana pill and also refine soul nurturing pills with Foundation Establishment Cultivation... This child has profound Luck." Immortal Master Xuan Yin gave a very high evaluation.

He changed the subject and continued: "I have less than a hundred years of Lifespan left. Now, within a hundred years, the only one in the Yin Corpse Sect with the most hope of entering the Nascent Soul Stage is you!"

"Zhenger, your choice of Dao Companion concerns the future of the Sect and also your Dao path."

Immortal Master Xuan Yin looked at his Granddaughter and said, word by word.

"This child can be a candidate."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zheng's body stiffened imperceptibly, and a complex, hard-to-read light flashed in her sharp phoenix eyes.

"Grandfather, he's only Foundation Establishment..."

"What about Foundation Establishment?" Immortal Master Xuan Yin interrupted her. "It's impossible for me to be wrong about people. This child will definitely form a Core in the future. Becoming Dao Companions with such a person of great Luck will be of immense benefit to your Breakthrough to Nascent Soul."

"In a few days, I intend to personally go to the Blood River. You and the other candidates will go along. On the way, you can get to know their temperaments and methods better, and when you reach Black Stone City, you can see their true abilities. Then, you can choose whoever you fancy."

...Lin Yuan arrived at the Peak Masters Residence. True Man Mu seemed to have given an order, as the guards of the Peak Masters Residence, upon seeing him, did not stop him, but instead bowed from afar.

He nodded slightly and, familiar with the way, passed through the courtyard and went straight to Mu Wanqing's residence.

Along the way, the maids in the mansion were all respectful.

This treatment gave him the illusion that he had returned to his own backyard.

Outside Mu Wanqing's boudoir small courtyard, it was quiet.

Lin Yuan's heart warmed, and a wicked sense of humor, typical of an old driver, surged within him.

He deliberately restrained all his aura, even erasing his footsteps. His figure glided silently like a night owl, pushing open the courtyard door without a sound.

Then he pushed open the door to the boudoir.

A faint, elegant feminine fragrance wafted over, refreshing and familiar.

His gaze swept across the room, and he saw a graceful figure lying on the bed, breathing steadily, seemingly asleep.

A very daring thought arose in Lin Yuan's mind.

He approached with extremely light steps, his movements fluid, like a leopard pouncing on its prey. He flipped onto the bed and embraced the soft, delicate body from behind.

The person in his arms suddenly stiffened, like a startled rabbit, and abruptly opened her eyes.

When she clearly saw Lin Yuan's face, a violent shock and disbelief surged deep within her beautiful phoenix eyes.

A resisting force, which Lin Yuan had never felt before, came from her. She struggled with all her might, trying to push Lin Yuan away.

"Oh ho?"

Lin Yuan chuckled, not only did he not let go, but he held her even tighter. His old face pressed against her ear, exhaling hot breath.

"Little vixen, are you playing hard to get today? This husband likes it."

He reached out and accurately clasped her struggling wrist. The slippery feel of her skin made his heart burn even hotter.

"You... let go of me! I'm not..."

The voice of the person in his arms carried a hint of urgency and panic, but her words were cut short as Lin Yuan sealed them with his lips... Half an hour later.

The air in the room became thick and warm.

The golden characters in Lin Yuan's eyes refreshed rapidly.

"Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Middle Stage: 0/100000 (addable points)"

"Fourth-Grade Alchemist: 0/600 (addable points); Sixth-Grade Artifact Refiner: 1/400 (addable points); Sixth-Grade Formation Master: 0/100 (addable points)"

"Fourth-Level Fire Control Art: 0/400; Illusion Transformation Art (Perfection)"

"usable attribute points: 1086"

"special attribute points: 1"

"Holy crap... how did I get two hundred attribute points at once?" Lin Yuan was startled! Logically, for Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivation, only forty points are added at a time.

This was too strange. Then his gaze fixed on the few glaring crimson spots on the bedsheet.
