Chapter 139: Endless Fen Xu

Time slipped away in a flash.

Seven years passed; Lin Chao stretched his back and rubbed the space between his brows.

Beside him, Zimo wore an expression of excitement: "It finally has an effect; I can feel signs of activity in Wei An's Spirituality."

Lin Chao looked at Wei An, his own face also showing a look of joy: "The Spirituality of Dragon Blood is truly extraordinary."

Beside him, Zimo gradually calmed down: "This is no ordinary dragon; ordinary Dragon Blood could not achieve this step."

Lin Chao agreed.

The drop of Dragon Blood that Zimo had obtained was indeed remarkable.

"Regarding the matter of the Dragon Blood, do not let it spread; otherwise, I fear it could cause a heaven-covering catastrophe," Zimo said, his expression turning grave.

He naturally knew what kind of waves a drop of Dragon Blood capable of restoring a living being's Spirituality could stir up.

Perhaps those black shadows hidden in the corners of history would also reach out their giant hands.

"Understood." Lin Chao naturally knew that Zimo's research carried great weight.

"Now that there is progress, the subsequent research is just some repetitive work; your avatar can handle it.

Xiang Lin, you should rest for a period of time; after one hundred years, we will awaken Wei An's Spirituality together," Zimo said from the side.

During these hundred years, the task to be done was to nourish Wei An's Spirituality.

These matters could be accomplished without Lin Chao needing to intervene.

"Understood." Lin Chao nodded.

Treating Wei An, finding a solution for the lack of Spirituality, and providing a retreat for Jiuzhou were things Lin Chao had to do.

But in truth, he still had his own matters to attend to, which was to become stronger.

Over these seven years, Lin Chao's strength had progressed slowly.

To this day, he was only at the Pseudo-Immortal Realm.

There was still a great distance to the True Spirit Realm.

Beside him, Zimo looked at Lin Chao, his gaze becoming complex: "Xiang Lin, it is also time for you to go see the Association Master; he is in the Library Pavilion of the Zhen Dan Association."

Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

He recalled the old man in the Library Pavilion; could he be the Zhen Dan Association Master?

No wonder a manager of a Library Pavilion actually knew some information about the Fen Kui Dan.

Lin Chao left; Zimo watched Lin Chao's back, then looked affectionately at the corpse in the Ice Coffin: "Wei An, Xiang Lin is not like me, but rather like you.

I know he does not want to leave with only one-tenth of the living beings; he wants to slay the Immortals.

But... how difficult that is."

Having left the cave dwelling, Lin Chao stretched his back once more.

For so many years, he had almost lived in the cave dwelling, conducting research and treating his master's wife, Wei An.

Within the Zhen Dan Association, he could be considered a recluse.

As Lin Chao walked toward the Library Pavilion, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.

That graceful figure was none other than Yun Ying.

Seeing Lin Chao, Yun Ying proudly puffed out her chest: "Xiang Lin, I am now a quasi-Grandmaster-level alchemist."

A look of pride was on Yun Ying's face.

Using seven years to go from an Intermediate Alchemist to an Advanced Alchemist, and then to a quasi-Grandmaster-level alchemist, Yun Ying's progress could not be called anything but rapid.

Placed within the Zhen Dan Association, this speed was extremely terrifying.

Yun Ying's status within the Zhen Dan Association had also risen with the tide.

Among them, a Grandmaster-level alchemist had taken a fancy to her talent and had requested Yun Ying from Zimo to take her as a disciple.

Now, within the Zhen Dan Association, Yun Ying could be considered a red-hot favorite.

"Congratulations." Lin Chao's eyes held a smile, his gaze very calm.

Seeing this reaction from Lin Chao, Yun Ying felt somewhat unsettled in her heart.

This guy was always so composed.

This caused the joy in Yun Ying's heart to dissipate quite a bit.

"By the way, Xiang Lin, I came here to tell you one thing."

"Oh, what is it?" Lin Chao asked.

"Do you remember Mu Yuntou, who joined the Medicine Saint Sect with you back then?"

The face of a woman surfaced in Lin Chao's mind.

"Mm, what happened to her?"

"She was a spy for another sect; she joined the Zhen Dan Association by seducing some Elders to steal some confidential matters, and was eventually discovered and committed suicide on the spot.

This has drawn the attention of the upper echelons of the Medicine Saint Sect.

Now, the sect is investigating disciples related to Mu Yuntou.

You must be careful; you were on good terms with Mu Yuntou, and you are also a disciple of the Zhen Dan Association, so they might investigate you."

Yun Ying's gaze was complex.

Now, because of Mu Yuntou, three disciples and four Elders had already been implicated within the Zhen Dan Association.

Xiang Lin and Mu Yuntou had a good relationship, so Mu Yuntou should have found it easier to succeed with him.

Perhaps that Mu Yuntou had also seduced Xiang Lin to obtain some secrets.

"So that is how it is." Lin Chao sighed, "Thank you for telling me."

Truly, the affairs of the world are unpredictable.

However, he was not afraid.

He believed that with Zimo there, the Medicine Saint Sect would never be able to trace it back to him.

Moreover, even if they did trace it back to him, he would not be afraid in the slightest.

After bidding farewell to Yun Ying, Lin Chao headed to the Library Pavilion.

He saw that old man once again.

The old man was still playing chess.

Seeing Lin Chao, his gaze was calm: "It was Zimo who sent you here."

"Yes, Association Master," Lin Chao replied.

"Sigh," the Zhen Dan Association Master let out a sigh.

Since Zimo had let Xiang Lin come to see him, the Zhen Dan Association Master naturally knew what Zimo was thinking.

"Wei An came from the Otherworld and has experienced the Endless Fen Xu.

The entrance to the Otherworld is hidden within the Endless Fen Xu.

The Endless Fen Xu are vast, even larger than Jiuzhou.

Apart from Wei An, no one knows exactly where the entrance to the Otherworld is."

Hearing the words of the Zhen Dan Association Master, Lin Chao stood quietly, waiting for what followed.

"In the Endless Fen Xu, there is fire everywhere; mortals and even cultivators cannot survive there.

Even cultivators at the True Spirit Realm cannot survive in the Endless Fen Xu for more than a few days.

However, countless powerful fire beasts live in the Endless Fen Xu.

By hunting these fire beasts and devouring the essence of the fire beasts, your strength will increase rapidly.

You are able to make the Burning Spirit Potion emit Gold fire, so you should be able to live normally in the Endless Fen Xu.

I will take you to the Endless Fen Xu; there, you will be able to rapidly improve your strength."

The Zhen Dan Association Master was without sorrow or joy.

"Many thanks, Association Master," Lin Chao said.

The Zhen Dan Association Master took Lin Chao and instantly vanished, leaving the Medicine Saint Sect.

Three days later, within a mountain range.

The Zhen Dan Association Master looked at Lin Chao, his gaze calm: "Your talent is very strong, stronger than Pan, and even stronger than the Seven Fragrances Empress.

If the Immortal World Channel had not been closed, you would certainly have been able to become an Immortal.

But now... no matter how much you cultivate, you will at most reach the level of that dog in the Heavenly Palace.

Working together with other heaven-gifted individuals, three thousand years from now, you might indeed be able to kill the Ghost Immortal once.

However, just killing the Ghost Immortal once is far from enough.

The Ghost Immortal can be resurrected infinitely.

Behind the Ghost Immortal, there exists that group of Immortals."

"Many thanks for the information, Senior," Lin Chao bowed, "This junior only wishes to be stronger and have more ability to protect himself."

"Ahead is the entrance to the Endless Fen Xu; with your strength, do not go deep into the Endless Fen Xu.

In the depths of the Endless Fen Xu, there are even fire beasts comparable to the True Immortal level; even I am no match for them, so be careful and take care of yourself."

After the Zhen Dan Association Master finished speaking, his figure instantly vanished from sight.

Lin Chao looked at the cave in front of him and walked straight inside.

Immediately, a wave of scorching heat rushed toward his face.

He looked around, and there was fire everywhere.

Ahead, two fire beasts were fighting.

The scene of the battle was extremely terrifying.

Ten thousand fires burned the sky, and the heavens collapsed and the earth cracked.

Sensing the strength of the fire beasts, Lin Chao's expression changed slightly.

Both fire beasts were clearly at the True Spirit Realm.

Just entered the Endless Fen Xu, and already ran into two True Spirit Realm fire beasts?

This was too unlucky.

Lin Chao was about to flee.

But those two fire beasts also seemed to have discovered Lin Chao's presence.

Upon sensing Lin Chao's aura, the two fire beasts revealed expressions of fear and took to their heels.

Thanks to 【Wei Ai Er You】 and 【Bei Wei De Pao Xiao】 for the tips, thank you!
