an even stranger phenomenon had occurred on his body: he had begun to devour other people’s essence blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If word got out, he would certainly be the target of everyone’s pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aoouu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howls of wolves echoed all around, the fight just now had already drawn numerous demon beasts, and now with fresh blood spilled everywhere, it further incited these fierce wild animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was not in good condition, he rapidly retreated, hoping Zhang Bin’s body would be consumed, which would make it very difficult to trace the murder back to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He moved swiftly and disappeared into the mountain forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after Lin Xuan left, the hungry wolves pounced on the bodies of Zhang Bin and the others…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Lin Xuan returned to the sect, it was already evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The setting sun was sinking, casting its afterglow across the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dragged his weary body back to his room, collapsed on the bed, and immediately fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon waking again, the Silver Moon was in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan carefully examined his inner condition, the small sword with its glazed color still hung there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green spiritual power slowly flowed, leaving a faint rosy glow in its path, yet the black qi and the Black Lotus that had appeared during the day were nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell!” Lin Xuan stroked his chin, deep in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene of absorbing someone’s essence blood was too shocking, a living person had been drained dry in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such an occurrence had never happened before, and lately, there had been too many strange events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What exactly is in my body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did my father have me enter the family’s Ancestral Land?” Lin Xuan had many questions in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, not bad swordsmanship there!” Just then, a voice entered Lin Xuan’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s muscles tensed, he warily looked around, his longsword ready to thrust at any moment, but there was not a single person in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come out now, or I swear I’m going to lose it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop looking, I’m right here,” the voice said languidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, Lin Xuan felt the world spinning around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next thing he knew, the small wooden house had vanished, replaced by a vast expanse of gray-white space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of him stood a huge Divine Tree, though it had already withered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under that tree, there was a figure with black hair cascading like a waterfall, clothed in a white garment floating in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure had his back to Lin Xuan, and his face could not be seen clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you, what is this place?” Lin Xuan steadied the shock in his heart and asked in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh, not bad, little guy, you didn’t pee your pants in fear,” said the figure in white as he turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a middle-aged man, fairly handsome, but his face was full of stubble, and the red wine gourd in his hand ruined his otherwise noble and mystical image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh heh, haven’t met anyone in a long time, seeing you just feels so endearing!” said the middle-aged man in white, shaking the gourd in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you, what do you want with me here?” Lin Xuan was guarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kid, don’t be so tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who I am is not important, all you need to know is I won’t harm you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for this place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it’s inside your body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside my body!” Lin Xuan almost shouted, then as if something struck him, an incredulous look crossed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be that mysterious small sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man in white tipped his head back for a drink from his gourd, smiling without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s with the lotus inside me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what’s this sword exactly?” Lin Xuan pressed on with his questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man in white replied with a chuckle, “Kid, you sure ask a lot of questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll find out in due time, telling you now is pointless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what about that blood-sucking, that wasn’t you doing the sucking, was it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan recalled the frightening scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s another power inside you, and it’s very well concealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, it was that power that poked me awake from my slumber, but as for what it is, I’m not entirely sure.” The middle-aged man in white showed a rare seriousness on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he soon reverted to a lazy demeanor: “Don’t worry, with me here, that power won’t dare to surface!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan knew he wouldn’t get much more information and decided not to ask further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he thought it was problematic to let this fellow stay inside his body forever; he had to find a way to get him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, you’re not planning to hang around in there forever, are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My belly isn’t an inn!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-clothed middle-aged man’s face filled with a smile as he asked with a seductive tone, “Do you want to become an Inner Sect Disciple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you want to return to your clan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you want to grow stronger?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of the middle-aged man seemed to be full of magic power, making Lin Xuan’s little heart thump wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without that black lotus binding my meridians, isn’t it easy for me to grow stronger with my talent?” Lin Xuan had confidence in himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your talent is indeed impressive, but have you considered how many years you have fallen behind others, and what resources can you obtain now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you have the time to spare?” the man in white challenged him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you have a way?” Lin Xuan’s face flickered, knowing that Sword Pond Prefecture’s Ancestral Land would open only once every decade, and less than two years remained until the next time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To enter the Ancestral Land, he must rank among the top three of the younger generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he left his family, some of the young disciples had already reached the Spirit Sea Realm, while he was only at the Third Level of Pulse Condensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gap between them was as vast as a chasm, seemingly insurmountable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Xuan’s somewhat despondent face, the man in white chuckled, “How do you find the Longevity Technique?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That cultivation technique was given to me by you!” Lin Xuan remembered the matter of the Longevity Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without the Longevity Technique, could you have broken through to the Third Level of Pulse Condensation so fast?” the white-clothed middle-aged man said, “Now, you believe in my strength, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you really want by helping me so much?” Lin Xuan asked warily, knowing there’s no such thing as a free lunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My request is very simple – I’ll tell you once your strength has reached a certain level.” The man in white gazed into the distance, his eyes filled with a sense of age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, it’s a deal!” Lin Xuan thought there was no issue with that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry and get me to the Spirit Sea Realm,” he stated faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man in white spat out all the wine he’d just drunk: “I wish a mouthful of strong wine could kill you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You think cultivation is that easy, dreaming of sky-high success in one leap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, such a waste of good wine!” the middle-aged man sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan painfully covered his face, finding it hard not to see this guy as a drunkard, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that he’d been duped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just call me Lord of Wine in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll brew some Low-level Spiritual Wine for you first, to spare your meridians from harm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brewing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you telling me to drink wine to break through?” Lin Xuan felt like he was going mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s that look for?” Lord of Wine wasn’t pleased, “In the old days, countless powerful beings begged me, crying and pleading, for my wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be satisfied that you can drink my brew!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t care whether Lin Xuan believed him or not and proceeded to say, “Three Snake-shaped Fruits, one Purple Flower, deliver them to me tomorrow, and I’ll start brewing for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three Snake-shaped Fruits, one Purple Flower?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you asking me to rob someone!” Lin Xuan shouted; he had seen in the Task Hall that just one Snake-shaped Fruit required fifty Contribution Points, and even if he had enough points, those items were probably hard to exchange for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can’t get them, there’s nothing I can do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it’s not me who is in a rush to level up.” Lord of Wine yawned, waved his sleeve grandly, conjured a gust of wind, and flung Lin Xuan out.\u003C\u002Fp>",1457,"2026-06-06T00:46:40.739Z",1,"novelbin.me","cc4c2d85b0aa9d27ab18699293045ded6d33bfa7b5bb1cc013e9edfa4048efb7","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-13","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-11",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
