8: Divine Sea Realm Third Level

Lin Chuqing wore a moon-white long dress, her waist, which could be encircled by a hand, bound by a colorful sash, making her slender willowy waist appear even more graceful.

Her features were exquisitely beautiful, and her snow-white skin glowed with a captivating luster.

Her long black hair cascaded to her round, small hips, and her figure was tall and graceful.

Lin Chuqing walked with elegant lotus steps, as if she were the center of the world, causing everything around her to lose its color.

“So beautiful!”

Lin Chen was mesmerized, his eyes only on Lin Chuqing.

He hadn't seen Lin Chuqing for over half a year, and now, seeing her again, Lin Chuqing was even more extraordinarily beautiful, like a fairy untainted by a speck of dust descending into the mortal world.

Every movement she made exuded an ethereal charm, like a goddess from the Nine Heavens, or a queen who governed the ups and downs of the human world.

“A Celestial Spirit Dao Body, it’s actually a Celestial Spirit Dao Body! Damn it, why didn’t I meet her sooner?”

He Ni’s voice was filled with both excitement and regret.

If she had met Lin Chuqing earlier, what would Lin Chen have to do with it?

“Is it still not too late to take her as a disciple? It’s too late!”

He Ni glanced at Lin Chuqing’s cultivation and was immediately disappointed.

“Xiao Chen.”

Lin Chuqing’s voice contained a power that instantly sobered Lin Chen.

“Ah, Elder Sister.”

Lin Chen came back to his senses, looking at her with a surprised expression, and said excitedly.

“Elder Sister, when did you come out of seclusion?”

“Half an hour ago!”

Lin Chuqing’s clear eyes held a certain charm, as if they could see through a person’s soul.

She took out a mid-grade spiritual weapon longsword and handed it to Lin Chen, a hint of a smile appearing on her exquisite face.

“Not bad, your foundation is solid. Your future will certainly be bright. This is a congratulatory gift from your Elder Sister.”

“Thank you, Elder Sister.”

Lin Chen happily accepted it. Receiving his Elder Sister’s praise made him even happier than obtaining a divine martial art.

Lin Chuqing had a cold personality; this was the first time she had ever praised him.

Lin Chuqing hummed in acknowledgment and asked, “Why did you cripple the family disciples?”

“Oh, them? They’re just a bunch of useless people. Crippling them is just crippling them.”

Lin Chen shrugged, looking indifferent.

“They are all family members, bound by blood, growing up under the same roof. How could you be so cruel?” Lin Chuqing’s voice grew cold.

She didn't care what Lin Chen did to others.

After all, the fault lay with those who provoked Lin Chen. Crippling them was just crippling them; they could only blame themselves for being inferior.

But treating his own family members like that was something she could not accept.

One must know that cultivation was extremely arduous, training in the coldest winters and hottest summers, shedding countless beads of sweat to reach their current realm.

Moreover, cultivation represented power and longevity.

Crippling them was even worse than killing them.

Wasn't Lin Chen’s action forcing others to their deaths?

They would certainly not let Lin Chen off the hook.

If not handled properly, the Lin family could even fall apart.

No, it should be said that the Lin family was already starting to split, losing cohesion, and was only a fuse away from destruction.

“Elder Sister, they provoked me first.”

Lin Chen twisted his mouth and sneered, “I’ve always believed that if others don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. But if others offend me, I will definitely repay them a hundredfold.”

Hearing this, Lin Chuqing remained silent, quietly looking at Lin Chen.

Her eyes were clear and pure, as if they could see through people’s hearts.

Lin Chen felt a chill from being watched, always feeling as if his secrets and the dirt in his heart had been seen through.

“I will have the elders restrain them, and at the same time, you must not provoke them again.”

“Don’t go out for the next few days.”

Lin Chuqing shook her head in disappointment and turned to leave.

Lin Chen crippled his family members without any guilt or remorse, and even boastfully declared he would repay them a hundredfold.

Leaving aside the right or wrong of the matter, was Lin Chen doing this because he thought the family wasn't falling apart fast enough?

It was fortunate that she returned in time; the Lin family could still be saved.

“Elder Sister, where are you going?”

Seeing Lin Chuqing leave in disappointment, Lin Chen felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.

He asked himself if he had done anything wrong, so why didn't Lin Chuqing support him?

...“Roar!”

On the other side, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, a peak-level second-grade Blue Python let out an angry roar, its body radiating chilling air, instantly freezing the entire valley.

With a sweep of its tail, it directly shattered a small hill, its fierce power reaching the heavens.

Gu Qing dodged, appearing beside the Blue Python, his long halberd, like a crescent moon, slashing down.

He did not use his Heavenly and Earthly Grand Momentum, nor did he use his Phenomenon.

With the strength of a Divine Sea Realm triple-stage, he fought back and forth with the Blue Python, using it as a whetstone.

“Human, get out of here!”

The Blue Python no longer wanted to fight Gu Qing.

In its eyes, Gu Qing was a freak, his whole body’s blood energy like a vast ocean, completely different from other humans.

It had lived for over a thousand years, killed many humans, including peak Divine Sea Realm ninth-stage cultivators.

When its icy cold energy was released, it would absolutely suppress enemies, even directly freezing them.

However, its proud icy cold energy had no effect on Gu Qing.

Furthermore, Gu Qing’s divine power was terrifyingly unmatched; every halberd strike could injure it.

If the fight continued, it feared it would be beaten to death.

“Alright, take one more move from me, and I’ll leave immediately.”

Gu Qing put away the Golden Gourd. The low-grade spiritual weapon’s power was too weak; it couldn't unleash his full strength at all.

Fortunately, the system rewarded him with a top-grade spiritual weapon, the Tiger Soul Halberd.

As the Tiger Soul Halberd appeared, a fierce and murderous aura shot into the sky, and a two-winged fierce tiger slowly took shape.

“...”

Originally, hearing Gu Qing’s words, it breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it could finally send off this harbinger of death without being extorted for spiritual herbs.

But seeing the Tiger Soul Halberd, the Blue Python’s heart sank to the bottom.

It was going to die.

Its intuition told it that it could not withstand Gu Qing’s full-power halberd strike.

Even if it did, it would be severely injured.

Would Gu Qing let it go if it were severely injured?

“Roar~!”

The two-winged tiger roared, and terrifying sound waves spread out. The surrounding trees and rocks instantly turned into dust, and a terrifyingly fierce and murderous aura permeated the air.

The two-winged tiger pounced like a hungry tiger, carrying an unparalleled momentum, attacking the Blue Python.

The Blue Python was intimidated by the two-winged tiger’s sound waves, its mind in disarray, its mind a blank.

It didn’t even know when its head was chopped off.

“As expected of a Earth-grade top-tier martial skill, the sound waves can attack the enemy’s soul and shock their mind.”

Gu Qing was very satisfied with the power of the Tiger Soul Halberd and the Tiger Soul Halberd technique.

The Tiger Soul Halberd possessed a two-winged tiger spirit, its power far exceeding that of a top-grade spiritual weapon without a spirit.

And the Tiger Soul Halberd technique, with its monstrous ferocity, could attack the soul, and inherently carried a murderous momentum that intimidated the enemy’s mind, its sharpness unmatched, sweeping all before it.

The two complemented each other perfectly, their power super doubled.

The peak-level second-grade Blue Python couldn’t even block the first move of the Fierce Tiger Halberd Technique, which showed its power.

“Blue Ice Lotus!”

Gu Qing stepped to the cold pond, his heart filled with excitement.

In the center of the cold pond grew a huge blue lotus, emitting a faint blue light, sacred and beautiful, like a dream.

Gu Qing inhaled the lotus fragrance permeating the air, feeling refreshed and his mind peaceful and serene.

The Blue Ice Lotus was an extremely rare treasure herb, possessing the miraculous effects of enhancing bone structure, strengthening the physical body, and aiding in breaking through realms.

Furthermore, it was also a miraculous healing medicine, capable of bringing the dead back to life and regenerating flesh and bones. As long as a breath remained, the Blue Ice Lotus could heal.

Of course, the medicinal effects of the Blue Ice Lotus were only miraculous for cultivators below the Xuan Dan Realm; above the Xuan Dan Realm, the effects would gradually weaken.

Even so, the Blue Ice Lotus was still extremely precious.

A single lotus seed could sell for at least several hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.

The lotus flower and lotus root could sell for over a million spirit stones.

This Blue Ice Lotus had a total of nine lotus seeds, three of which were eaten by the Blue Python, leaving six.

Gu Qing dug up the entire Blue Ice Lotus, placed it in a jade box, and sealed it with a restriction to prevent the medicinal effects from dissipating.

After completing all this, Gu Qing dived into the depths of the cold pond, continuing to search for treasures.

The Blue Ice Lotus had very specific growing conditions, generally only growing in special treasure lands in icy, snowy environments.

But this wasn't an icy, snowy environment.

Since the Blue Ice Lotus could grow here, there must be ice-cold attribute treasures in the cold pond.

Sure enough, Gu Qing discovered a head-sized ore underground in the cold pond, emitting an extreme coldness that even made Gu Qing feel a bit overwhelmed, almost freezing him into an ice sculpture.

Gu Qing quickly put the ore into a jade box and sealed it, then inquired of the system.

“Mother, what kind of ore is this?”

“System?”

“Ten Thousand Year Cold Iron Core, can be used to refine Earth-grade magical artifacts!”

“I’m rich!”

Gu Qing was overjoyed.

Ore for refining magical artifacts would cost at least several million low-grade spirit stones.

And ore for refining Earth-grade artifacts should be able to sell for tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones.

This time, killing the Blue Python was incredibly profitable.

Perhaps this was the benefit of great luck, being able to encounter treasures wherever one went.

In this month, Gu Qing didn’t know how many rare ores, high-quality spiritual herbs, etc., he had harvested; he even had three treasure herbs.

It was just that the Blue Python was the fattest one.

Gu Qing rushed out of the cold pond, and the system’s voice sounded at the opportune moment.

“Congratulations to the host for slaying the enemy Blue Python, gaining one hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones.”

“Not bad, not bad!”

“Double gold drop is indeed joyful.”

Gu Qing happily accepted, putting the spirit stones and the Blue Python’s corpse into his Golden Gourd.

He thought, in this month, he had killed over twenty second-grade monster beasts, several hundred first-grade monster beasts, and received spirit stone rewards from the system.

Such a large amount of energy should be enough to break through to the late stage of the Divine Sea Realm, right?

“Ding, detected that Lin Chen has developed strong malice towards the host, and is currently plundering the host’s luck, triggering Super Thorns, plundering a thousand luck from Lin Chen in return.”

“?”

He hadn't even gone to trouble Lin Chen yet, but Lin Chen had actively sought him out.

It seemed that in the past two months, Lin Chen’s realm had made a major breakthrough.

Given the protagonist’s typical behavior, he probably wanted to defeat him by challenging a higher realm.

“Alright, it’s time to go back. The monster beast liquid in the Golden Gourd will be enough for me to use for a long time.”

Gu Qing left the Monster Beast Mountain Range, flying through the air.
