Chapter 95: Brother Lingxu, you scared Hu Liena

Qian Renxue introduced herself from the very beginning, and Hu Liena naturally knew who the two of them were.

"Greetings, Holy Master!" Hu Liena's look of surprise seemed very genuine, and she bowed respectfully.

Lingxu waved his hand and said, "Welcome to the Lingxue Sacred Land. Since you have entered the Sacred Land, you must abide by the rules of the Sacred Land. If there are any acts that overstep the rules, you will certainly be severely punished."

Lingxu emphasized these last few words heavily, and even added a trace of mental pressure.

After all, Lingxu's current Mental Power was already at level 87; dealing with Hu Liena was effortless.

At this moment, Hu Liena felt as if she had fallen into an abyss, but then she returned to normal.

Just from this one instance, she actually felt a sense of heart palpitations.

The real Lingxu was far more formidable than what her teacher Bibi Dong had described. Hu Liena hurriedly said, "I understand! Thank you for the reminder, Holy Master."

"Very well, then go on in. I imagine you will soon experience the benefits of being in my Lingxue Sacred Land," Lingxu said with a smile.

Hu Liena really wanted to leave this place quickly; if Lingxu gave her a few more of those, she might just give herself away.

It was not until she had moved at least several hundred meters away that Hu Liena finally caught her breath.

Being an undercover agent was truly hell, but it was the best opportunity for her to grow within the Spirit Hall. If she did well, she could become an official disciple of the Pope in the future, or perhaps even the Saintess.

Hu Liena, you must keep it up; Lingxu is human too, he won't eat you.

Just like that, while walking, Hu Liena also cheered herself on.

And Qian Renxue, watching Hu Liena's retreating figure, said with a smile, "Brother Lingxu, you scared her, but judging by her performance just now, there is indeed something wrong with her."

Hu Liena might be formidable in Douluo, but if she were to play games with Lingxu and Qian Renxue, wouldn't she be played to death?

Therefore, even if Hu Liena was here as an undercover agent, Lingxu was not afraid. Furthermore, she was still young, and the education she had received from the Spirit Hall was not as deeply rooted as it was at that age in the original story.

In a few years, perhaps they could even pull off an "Infernal Affairs" or "Inception" style scenario.

Moreover, with Hu Liena here, she was right under his and Qian Renxue's noses, so everything was easy to control. If someone else had come, Lingxu really wouldn't be sure.

An undercover agent in the open is the best kind.

Watching Qian Renxue look at him with a smile, Lingxu said, "Xue'er, don't pay too much attention to her in the future. I suspect she was also sent by Bibi Dong. Since they didn't gain any advantage last time they came to the Sacred Land, if they can't use force, they have to use this method. It's nothing more than wanting to know the secrets of our Lingxue Sacred Land. But even if they know, so what?"

Qian Renxue said, "That's right, Brother Lingxu, you are correct. Even if she knows, she cannot replicate it."

As an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple, Hu Liena was also astonished after learning about the benefits, such as the issued clothing and even the one month's worth of Gold Soul Coins issued in advance.

There was also her living quarters, which were quite good—a single suite.

Although it was not large, it was fully equipped with everything one might need, such as an independent toilet and bathroom, and a supply of hot water every day.

Even her cultivation at the Spirit Hall could not compare to this place.

After spending an afternoon making inquiries, she easily learned a lot of information about the Lingxue Sacred Land, or rather, the secrets that Bibi Dong had asked her to find.

For example, this Lingxue Pill, which has the effect of stimulating potential after consumption, allowing ordinary people to possess soul power and begin cultivation.

The Lingxue Pill is most effective for mutated Spirit Masters; it can set things right and allow mutated spirits with problems to be corrected.

Furthermore, by taking the Lingxue Pill, one can practice the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art, and this technique can increase one's own cultivation speed by several tens of percent.

Moreover, cultivating within the Lingxue Sacred Land provides an additional bonus.

This bit of information could only be known by entering the Lingxue Sacred Land.

And newly joined Spirit Masters have to wait for about half a month before they are issued the Lingxue Pill and the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art.

Now, all Hu Liena could do was wait, while making as many friends as possible here; it might be useful in the future.

Being able to obtain so much information in just one afternoon, Hu Liena relied entirely on her own advantages.

Her natural charm ability—even though she was still young—made it very easy to attract these people.

Plus, since they were all in the same sect, they quickly told her this information.

However, Hu Liena could not pass the information out yet; she had to wait until she had practiced the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art and confirmed the information was correct before passing it on.

……

On the second morning after Hu Liena settled in, Lingxu and Qian Renxue set off again, heading to the Sunset Forest together to search for Spirit Rings.

The group going this time was smaller than the last.

Ling Bufan was there, led by the Pufferfish Douluo and the Snake Spear Douluo.

Since they were only hunting two ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts, there was no need for too many people.

Just as Lingxu and Qian Renxue walked into the Sunset Forest, Lingxu's system mission was completed.

【Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of waiting for Qian Renxue. The age of your Spirit Rings and soul bones has each increased by 3,000 years!】

At this very instant, a warm current appeared within Lingxu's body, sweeping through his entire being, then entering the Spirit Rings within his martial soul, and some entering his soul bones.

At this moment, both his Spirit Ring ages and soul bone ages had been improved.

When this warm current vanished, Lingxu looked at the system panel's soul bone and Spirit Ring lines again.

Spirit Rings: Purple (4,815 years), Purple (5,930 years), Purple (7,023 years), Black (15,236 years), Black (28,685 years)

Soul Bones: Spirit Wisdom Skull (86,550 years), External Spirit Bone Golden Twin Swords (8,125 years), External Spirit Bone Golden Armor (22,635 years)

Although his Spirit Rings were already purple-based and the color did not change, the 3,000-year increase in age allowed Lingxu's Spirit Bone Skills to improve.

For example, his first Spirit Ring skill could compare to other Spirit Masters' fourth Spirit Ring skills, while his second and third Spirit Ring skills could rival others' fifth Spirit Ring skills.

As for this fourth Spirit Ring skill, it was comparable to other Spirit Masters' sixth Spirit Ring skills, and his fifth Spirit Ring skill was already comparable to the Soul Saint level.

Lingxu remembered that it seemed Tang San's fifth Spirit Ring started at around 25,000 years.

However, this current Spirit Ring age was not his limit; it could be improved further in the future.

This time entering the Sunset Forest, Lingxu and Qian Renxue's search for Spirit Rings was not as smooth as before.

The Spirit Ring age Qian Renxue required was between 20,000 and 30,000 years.

And what Lingxu required was a Spirit Beast Spirit Ring between 30,000 and 50,000 years, and this was only for his sixth Spirit Ring.

On the thirteenth day of entering the Sunset Forest, they successfully found a 29,000-year Spirit Beast for Qian Renxue.

Subsequently, on the twenty-ninth day of entering the Sunset Forest, they finally encountered a 40,000-plus-year Spirit Beast that was barely usable, but Lingxu did not settle for it and absorb it.

A few more days passed, and Lingxu found a Spirit Beast that was just over fifty thousand years old; although it exceeded his estimated age limit, Lingxu still decided to challenge it.

In the end, it was a close call but he succeeded in absorbing it, and successfully absorbing this Spirit Ring greatly increased Lingxu's confidence.

When it comes to the seventh Spirit Ring, perhaps he could challenge a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring.

The plot in this chapter today has clearly accelerated; it was indeed too slow before, and I will speed up the progression of the plot from here on out……!
