155: Taking True Dragon Grass

Xiong Lie and Yuan Fei were overjoyed to see Lin Chen immediately perform the disciple-acceptance ceremony.

They also liked this young man very much.

"Disciple, quickly rise, quickly rise."

"Come, this is the gift I, your master, give you for becoming my disciple."

Xiong Lie took out a long saber from his Inner World. This long saber emitted endless light and possessed a sharpness capable of cleaving through anything!

"Disciple, this is a mid-tier supreme treasure. I see that you also use a saber, so it's perfectly suitable."

A mid-tier supreme treasure!

Lin Chen's breathing quickened. Mid-tier supreme treasures are only successfully upgraded after countless years of refining within the bodies of Dao Realm powerhouses.

A single mid-tier supreme treasure is easily worth hundreds of trillions of source crystals!

However, Lin Chen couldn't directly sell this supreme treasure, as it was a gift from Xiong Lie for becoming his disciple.

Yuan Fei also smiled and handed Lin Chen a soft armor.

"Disciple, this is a mid-tier supreme treasure-grade soft armor. Wear it close to your body, and no one below the Dao Realm will be able to harm you!"

Lin Chen was deeply moved as he accepted the soft armor. This was only their second meeting, yet both masters treated him so well.

"Thank you, Masters, for your gifts. This disciple will definitely cultivate diligently."

Both Xiong Lie and Yuan Fei were extremely happy.

Immediately, the main hall was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Lin Chen, you will stay in the Fire Mist Sect for a period of time. Then, I will take you to the Ba Sect to comprehend the Celestial Tyrant Body Art."

It's a body technique!

Lin Chen's heart stirred with interest upon hearing this.

However, he immediately thought, he hadn't joined the Ba Sect, so why would he be able to comprehend a body technique?

Xiong Lie seemed to see through Lin Chen's doubts and explained with a smile.

"Disciple, don't underestimate your master. As one of the eight great elders of the sect, your master still has this much authority."

"However, you can only comprehend it once. Whether you can ultimately comprehend it depends on your fortune!"

Only then did Lin Chen realize, so that's how it was.

Body techniques, like combat techniques, are also divided into ten levels.

They are respectively: Profound-grade, Saint-grade, Divine-grade, and Ultimate-grade!

The rarity of body techniques far surpasses that of combat techniques. Anyone who cultivates a body technique can enhance their Physical Strength, which shows how heaven-defying these body techniques are.

However, depending on each person's foundational Physical Strength, the ultimate effect that a body technique can exert also differs.

Ao Jin was able to use the Celestial Tyrant Body Art to boost his Nineteenth Forged Golden Body to a Saint-grade Golden Body.

Yuan Fei also told Lin Chen to go to the Dragon Elephant Sect later to comprehend their sect-protecting body technique—the Nine-fold Dragon Elephant Art.

Lin Chen's heart was stirring at this moment. A body technique that could be considered the sect-protecting body technique of an overlord-level force, he wondered what level it had reached!

Xiong Lie and Yuan Fei each gave Lin Chen a sect token, and after giving their instructions, they left.

At this point, Ancestor Jin slowly spoke.

"Lin Chen, with your talent, joining my Fire Mist Sect, you can be conferred the title of Saint Son of my Jin lineage."

"My Fire Mist Sect is divided into ten lineages, and each lineage has a Saint Son position, but some branches have not produced a Saint Son-level genius."

"Currently, including you, our sect only has six Saint Sons."

Saint Son?

Lin Chen felt very calm in his heart. He was not interested in these honorary positions; he was only interested in energy points... but he still had to put on a show.

"Thank you, Ancestor Jin!"

Lin Chen said respectfully.

Ancestor Jin smiled softly at this.

"Lin Chen, don't underestimate the Saint Son position. A Saint Son can receive a massive amount of cultivation resources every month."

"Moreover, a Saint Son holds a very high status within the sect, second only to the ten lineage masters, as well as the Sect Master and the Divine Son."

Cultivation resources!

Lin Chen immediately grasped the key point. For an overlord-level force, giving him tens of billions of source crystals a month wouldn't be excessive, right?

Tens of billions a month, accumulated over long years, would be terrifying.

As for the Sect Master and Divine Son, Lin Chen didn't care. He just wanted to quickly exchange source crystals to improve himself... After Ancestor Jin finished speaking, he directly gave Lin Chen a spatial ring.

"A Saint Son receives 500 billion source crystals each month. These are your source crystals for this month. Besides source crystals, you can freely use the sect's library and cultivation secret chambers."

"As for other cultivation resources within the sect, you can ask Jin Cang about them later."

"Alright, you may go now. Your residence has already been prepared."

500 billion source crystals! So much! Lin Chen was immediately overjoyed.

The library likely contained some combat techniques and the like, which he didn't need.

Immediately, Lin Chen respectfully bowed again, then followed Jin Cang, leaving the fiery palace suspended ten thousand meters in the sky.

His residence was in a cluster of mountains shrouded in mist, which was where the core disciples of the sect lived.

Palaces were built on numerous mountain peaks, and these palaces were the residences of core disciples, Saint Sons, and sect elders.

Fire Mist Sect disciples were divided into Outer Sect, Inner Sect, True Disciple, Core Disciple, Saint Son, and Divine Son.

As a Saint Son, Lin Chen's residence was extremely luxurious.

Jin Cang brought him to a ten-thousand-meter giant peak, where the sect had carved spirit-gathering secret patterns, making the spiritual energy incredibly dense.

He felt that if his source energy were depleted, he could recover by absorbing spiritual energy in just a few minutes.

A massive new palace had been built on the summit of the giant peak, and Lin Chen's residence was here.

The palace was divided into a cultivation area, a resting area, and a reception area.

Lin Chen came to the cultivation area and found that it was a world of its own; upon entering, the space expanded a thousandfold, with a diameter of nearly a hundred kilometers!

This greatly pleased Lin Chen; he wouldn't have to worry about the commotion being too great when he broke through in the future.

Jin Cang familiarized Lin Chen with the palace and then left. If there was anything important from the sect later, he would contact Lin Chen through the smart crystal.

And Lin Chen finally had time to exchange source crystals!

The source crystals rewarded by the Source Origin Rankings before amounted to 85.555 trillion.

Plus the Heaven And Earth Treasure Lin Chen had already chosen.

One tenth-grade Chaos Green Lotus and four True Dragon Grasses.

The Fire Mist Sect was located in the main world of the Ziwei Great World, which was also where all the worlds of the Hong Country's capital were located, so delivery was very fast.

About an hour later, the items Lin Chen had exchanged for arrived!

He eagerly went directly to the independent space within the cultivation area.

System, devour and absorb!

Immediately, countless source crystals transformed into a surge of energy, merging into Lin Chen's body.

Lin Chen's body was like a giant black hole, frantically absorbing energy.

Lin Chen found that after the system upgrade, the speed of energy point absorption also increased.

Such a large amount of energy points was absorbed in less than ten minutes.

energy points: 86.055 trillion

Next, it was time for a good boost!

Lin Chen took out four True Dragon Grasses. The four grasses were over ten centimeters tall and appeared dark red.

Lin Chen could also feel an extremely strong dragon's might, which forced him to dedicate thirty percent of his will to resist this pressure.

"It's only stained with a trace of True Dragon blood. If this True Dragon were still alive, how strong would it be!"

"Emperor Realm?"

Lin Chen pulled back his thoughts, no longer pondering, and directly swallowed all the True Dragon Grasses in a few mouthfuls.

Immediately, he felt a powerful hot current appear within his body, and waves of dragon's might erupted from Lin Chen!

Awoo—

A dragon's roar echoed in the independent space.

A memory appeared in Lin Chen's mind.

A terrifying True Dragon, larger than the Azure Cang Realm, coiled in the void.

Suddenly, a black long spear, emitting an eerie black light, shot from the infinitely distant void.

The long spear gradually enlarged, instantly surpassing the size of the True Dragon's body, and directly pierced through this immeasurably vast True Dragon!

The True Dragon let out a tragic wail, impaled by a single spear in the void, and blood rained down in the void.

The True Dragon's blood drifted in the endless void, and finally, a few drops of True Dragon blood fell into the Ziwei Great World... The image in his mind shattered instantly, and Lin Chen was utterly terrified.

What level of powerhouse was the owner of that spear!

It was too terrifying; a casual spear strike had impaled a True Dragon that was at least in the Emperor Realm!

At this moment, Lin Chen felt his own insignificance more directly.

And the trace of True Dragon blood in this True Dragon Grass made his Physical Strength grow stronger and stronger!

Lin Chen only felt incredibly comfortable all over.

After a long while, a trace of dragon's might erupted from his body, and his Physical Strength reached its peak state!

He looked at the system panel.

Golden Body: Saint-grade Golden Body + (Consumes 20 trillion energy points to upgrade!)

The energy points originally required to upgrade the Golden Body were 30 trillion, a reduction of a full 10 trillion!
