84: Cultivate a precious body and return to the sect

“Young Master, did you call for me for something?”

Closing the door behind her, the girl asked.

“I need purple cloud agarwood for my Cultivation. Could I borrow your piece?”

Lin Yuan reached out and pulled her into his embrace, gently stroking her soft hair as he asked softly.

The sudden intimacy made Lu Yichan momentarily stunned, but she agreed without hesitation: “Of course.”

“I'm sorry, Chaner, you'll have to bear with me this time.”

Lowering his head to kiss the girl's fragrant lips, Lin Yuan said apologetically.

Lu Yichan said softly: “Young Master, you are too polite. Chaner is your private pet, and everything about her belongs to you. Let alone a piece of wood, even if you asked me to offer my essence blood, I wouldn't hesitate in the slightest.”

One could tell that her words were sincere and without any falsehood.

Lin Yuan was touched and said: “Good Chaner, you are so loyal to me. I will surely treat you well in the future.”

“Young Master, Chaner loves you and wants to be with you forever…”

The girl spoke with emotion, lifting her head to offer her red lips.

Lin Yuan did not shy away, meeting her directly.

After a long time, they slowly separated.

“Alright, Young Master, you go Cultivate first. Chaner won't disturb you.”

Gently pulling herself away from the man's embrace, the girl took out the piece of wood and handed it to him, then turned and left.

Lin Yuan wasted no time, immediately sitting cross-legged and releasing his Origin Qi to refine the two pieces of wood.

Several hours later.

“Boom!”

Above the Cultivation room, a dazzling green light suddenly rose, illuminating the entire Deng Residence.

“What's going on!?”

The family members stopped what they were doing and rushed towards the Cultivation room.

The three women were among them.

“Creak.”

The door opened, and Lin Yuan walked out.

He was dressed in a green robe, and his entire body exuded a strong wood-attribute Qi, which made one feel refreshed upon smelling it.

“Husband! Have you finished your Cultivation?”

The three women immediately stepped forward to greet him.

“Yes, I didn't make you wait long, did I?”

Lin Yuan replied, his face unable to hide his joy.

This time, with Ao Ling霜's help, he successfully obtained the Wood Spirit Treasure Body, which allowed him to communicate with the wood-attribute energy of heaven and earth. This not only accelerated his Cultivation progress but also significantly increased his combat power.

If he were to encounter Liu Yuyan now, he wouldn't be as disheveled as before and could easily defeat her.

“No, no. Did you have a Breakthrough this time? The commotion just now was huge.”

“Not exactly, but the results are even more pleasing than a Breakthrough.”

Lu Yichan couldn't help but ask: “Young Master, you have such a strong ancient wood Qi on you. Is this all from refining the purple cloud agarwood?”

“Yes, and it's all thanks to your piece of ancient wood that I was able to Cultivate to this extent.”

“But if I remember correctly, absorbing ancient wood can indeed enhance wood-attribute Qi, but it shouldn't be refined to this degree, should it?”

“Well, let me keep you in suspense for now. You'll know when the time is right.”

“Alright.”

Since he was unwilling to reveal it, she could only keep her doubts to herself.

“Alright, Xi'er, prepare to bid farewell to your father. We're returning to the Sect.”

“Okay, Husband.”

The four of them stayed at the Deng Family for a while, and after a simple farewell to Deng Xuan and his wife, they returned to Lin Yuan's parents' home together.

Seeing their son bring back another peerless beauty, the two Elders beamed with joy, constantly urging them to have more children.

The three women naturally agreed repeatedly, each volunteering to have babies for their beloved.

Lin Yuan responded reluctantly, saying he would consider it, and at the same time, asked his parents to return to the Sect with them.

After all, his current status was unusual, and it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't offend anyone in the future, so leaving his parents outside was truly unsettling.

The two Elders were initially unwilling to go, but under their son's strong request, they finally agreed.

...

Cloud Ripple Sect Outer Sect.

Residential area, inside the courtyard.

“Mistress, half a month has passed already, and Senior Brother still hasn't returned. Could something have happened to him?”

Miao Yizi sat on a stone chair, her pretty face showing worry.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Lin Yuan's strength is extraordinary. How could anyone in the mortal world harm him? The reason he hasn't returned for so long is probably to spend more time with his parents.”

Gu Shuqin rebutted, but her autumn eyes also showed a trace of worry.

When Qin Ren was still around, even if he went into seclusion for several months, she wouldn't feel this way.

However, Lin Yuan had only left for a short time, and her longing for him grew stronger with each passing day. She constantly recalled their experiences together, and even her Cultivation began to suffer from distraction.

“Sigh, my good Lin Yuan, my little man, Mistress misses you. When will you come back to see Mistress?”

Sighing continuously in her heart, she had already forgotten his identity as her Disciple, and forgotten that what they were doing was wrong.

“Thump, thump, thump.”

A knock on the door suddenly sounded, making the two women, lost in their worries, stand up.

Gu Shuqin went forward and opened the courtyard gate. A middle-aged man in a cloud uniform appeared in her sight.

This is... an Inner Sect Elder!

Why would such a person come looking for her?

Recognizing the other party's identity, she was surprised and asked with a puzzled expression: “Elder, is there something you need?”

The middle-aged man said coldly: “I'm looking for a Disciple named Lin Yuan. Is he in the courtyard?”

Looking for Lin Yuan?

Gu Shuqin was even more confused: “Lin Yuan is not here. May I ask why you are looking for him, sir?”

“A few days ago, Elder Huang of our Sect went to Luoxiao City to handle the Sun Family extermination case, but he died inexplicably on the way. We suspect Lin Yuan was responsible.”

The middle-aged man said, pulling out a broken life tablet from his Pregnant. The name Huang Bin was clearly written on it.

“Impossible! Lin Yuan is just a small Disciple in the Opening Meridian Realm. How could he kill a Qi Gathering Realm Cultivator?”

Gu Shuqin immediately denied it.

The middle-aged man, however, said: “That's not necessarily true. Perhaps he used some special means? In any case, this matter is very serious, and I must take him to the Discipline Hall for the Elders to personally interrogate him.”

Gu Shuqin knew clearly that the Elder's death was no small matter. If Lin Yuan's guilt was confirmed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, she opened her lips to defend her Disciple: “Elder, Lin Yuan's conduct is excellent and his virtue is unparalleled. He must be innocent; there must be a misunderstanding.”

“It's useless to tell me; you need to tell the Elders. Since he's not here, where is he? Hasn't he returned from Luoxiao City yet?”

“Don't look, I'm right here.”

A voice came from behind, and the middle-aged man immediately turned to look.

He saw a handsome young man standing with his hands behind his back, accompanied by three beautiful women.

“Are you Lin Yuan?”

“Yes.”

“Do you know what you've done?”

“Yes, I killed that Huang Bin.”

“Ah!?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

No, that was an Inner Sect Elder!

According to the Cloud Ripple Sect's rules, maliciously killing an Elder would result in at least severe torture, and in serious cases, even life for a life.

Such a serious crime, and Lin Yuan actually admitted it?

Had he gone mad, or did he have some other backing?
