Chapter 141: Everyone Is Doing What They Believe Is Right

"Oh, this?"

Lin Chao finished devouring the fire beasts of the Pseudo-Immortal Realm and sat in meditation to cultivate.

Before him, two women were walking over gracefully.

Seeing the two women, Lin Chao was stunned for a moment.

One of the women was Lin Chao's acquaintance, Xiang Qi.

The other was the Saintess of the Seven Emotions Sect, Shen Die.

At this moment, the two women stood side by side, and Xiang Qi's eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Seeing Lin Chao, the two also stopped in their tracks.

Seeing Lin Chao, a flash of complex expression crossed Shen Die's slightly cold face.

Naturally, the change in Shen Die did not escape Xiang Qi's notice; as Xiang Qi looked at Lin Chao, her gaze also became complex.

Among these, there was also a trace of shock mixed in.

Xiang Qi bit her lip: "Xiang Long, it has been many years, I didn't expect you to be here."

The Endless Fen Xu are extremely special; it is fundamentally impossible for ordinary people to enter.

Even for her, after entering for half a day, she nearly perished without finding the True Yang Fire.

Fortunately, she was saved by the Saintess of the Seven Emotions Sect, Shen Die.

Originally, the fact that the Saintess of the Seven Emotions Sect, Shen Die, could appear in the Endless Fen Xu had already surprised her; she had not expected there to be another Xiang Long.

"The fire beasts here are beneficial for cultivation, so I came," Lin Chao replied calmly.

He looked at the two women before him, his heart feeling very complex.

He could naturally see the affection in Xiang Qi's eyes as she looked at Shen Die.

Beside them, Xiang Qi continued: "The Wusheng Well has recently undergone some changes; in about five hundred years, the Wusheng Well will open once again."

Hearing Xiang Qi's words, Lin Chao's heart tightened.

The butterfly bird in the Wusheng Well was Lin Chao's savior, and even more so, his friend.

"Thank you for the information."

After the changes in the Wusheng Well were resolved, he would go into the Wusheng Well to see the butterfly bird.

Xiang Qi glanced at Lin Chao, hesitated for a long while, and finally spoke: "Xiang Long, when you left back then, I gave you a strand of my hair to protect your safety.

Now that it is likely of no use to you, could you return it to me?"

"Alright." Lin Chao did not refuse and returned that strand of hair to Xiang Qi.

Xiang Qi took the hair, her heart complex, and said nothing more.

Shen Die also gave Lin Chao a meaningful look before finally disappearing from sight.

As the two women walked away, Xiang Qi remained silent for a long time before asking: "Fairy Shen Die knows Xiang Long?"

Shen Die was stunned for a moment: "I know him."

"Are you very close?"

"Yes."

"So that's how it is."

Xiang Qi's heart also became complex, with an added trace of urgency.

The cultivation technique she practiced required pinning one's emotions onto another.

The stronger the desire, the stronger her power.

Back then, she had given her hair to Xiang Long.

Now, she had discovered a more suitable candidate.

"Xiang Long, I will help you seize a strand of Mingxing Qi."

……

Time flowed on.

Nearly a hundred years passed in a flash, and the aura around Lin Chao's entire body retracted.

"It is time to go back."

Treating Wei An still required his intervention.

Relying solely on Master Zimo alone would not suffice.

All these years, he had stayed in the Endless Fen Xu, continuously hunting fire beasts.

He had devoured many fire beasts from the Pseudo-Immortal Realm to the True Spirit Realm, and his strength had been surging constantly.

Now, he had reached the True Spirit Realm.

Within the True Spirit Realm, he was no longer among the weak, but belonged to the very top tier.

He was only one step away from True Spirit Above.

To deal with the group of immortals behind the Ghost Immortals, one must at least reach True Spirit Above; this was the most basic requirement.

He looked at the many figures in the Endless Fen Xu, and without further hesitation, his form vanished.

Once the treatment for his master's wife, Wei An, was stabilized, he would return to the Endless Fen Xu again to continue improving his strength.

……

Lin Chao returned to the Medicine Saint Sect.

The current Medicine Saint Sect had added many new disciples.

Within the Zhen Dan Association, there were also many new faces.

As Lin Chao walked along the path, looking into the distance, he saw that familiar figure once again.

That person was none other than Yun Ying.

At this moment, Yun Ying, having experienced a hundred years of time, had washed away all vanity; her original arrogance and haughtiness had vanished, and she appeared as gentle as Water.

Yun Ying also saw Lin Chao, a flash of a smile appearing in her eyes: "Junior Brother Xiang Lin, it has been a long time."

"Senior Sister's attainment in the Dao of alchemy has become even more profound," Lin Chao praised casually.

His relationship with Yun Ying could be described as bland as Water.

Hearing Lin Chao's praise, a flash of joy crossed Yun Ying's heart.

The current Zhen Dan Association was no longer the same Zhen Dan Association as before.

Thirty years ago, the Association Master of the Zhen Dan Association abdicated, and Yun Ying's master became the Association Master of the Zhen Dan Association.

Yun Ying's status rose with the tide.

In the past, she would have been jealous because Xiang Lin was favored, but now she only felt that her former self was ridiculous.

"Junior Brother Xiang Lin, the Zhen Dan Association is currently conducting research concerning the life and death of Jiuzhou; would you be willing to join?" At this moment, Yun Ying extended an invitation.

She knew that her junior brother's talent for the Dao of alchemy was very strong.

Joining their research might play an unexpected role.

"Sorry, I don't have time," Lin Chao refused directly.

He had too many things to do, and he was in a rush.

He did not have time to do other research.

A look of disappointment appeared in Yun Ying's eyes: "What a pity."

Lin Chao smiled, bid farewell to Yun Ying, and did not linger.

Beside Yun Ying, a female disciple of the Zhen Dan Association held her head high and chuckled: "This Xiang Lin has no idea what kind of opportunity he has missed.

Other disciples of the Zhen Dan Association do not even have the qualifications to join our research."

Yun Ying's gaze was calm: "Everyone has their own opportunities and choices.

We need not be arrogant; everyone is doing this for their own survival and the continued existence of Jiuzhou."

"Senior Sister Yun Ying is right to teach me," the woman replied, though she was quite dismissive in her heart.

If the Immortal-slaying a thousand years later succeeded, they would definitely count as meritorious officials, able to leave their names in history and bring blessings to their descendants.

Besides, in the current Zhen Dan Association, apart from their group being the core, everyone else was outside the core.

That person refused to enter the core, so his future supply of resources would definitely be much less.

An alchemist's advancement depends on talent, but also on resources.

Yun Ying looked at the woman, knowing her thoughts; she felt a slight discomfort in her heart, but she said nothing.

"Master," Lin Chao entered the cave dwelling and called out softly.

A joyful voice came from within.

"You have returned."

Lin Chao immediately saw Master Zimo.

The current Zimo was very different from a hundred years ago.

Now his complexion was ruddy, and his spirit was even more vigorous.

Clearly, the resurrection of Mistress Wei An was proceeding smoothly.

"How is Mistress Wei An now?"

"The Spirituality is being nurtured very well; now we need to continue awakening the Spirituality, and this requires your help," Zimo said from the side.

"No problem," Lin Chao nodded.

This was something he should have done in the first place.

The two began to research, and when resting, they also chatted about matters concerning the Zhen Dan Association.

"Now that we are reviving Wei An, with you and me here, we don't need other alchemists to contribute, so my elder brother has stepped down from the position of Association Master of the Zhen Dan Association.

If you want to be the Association Master, I will have my brother give it to you."

Lin Chao smiled and refused: "I am not interested in being the Association Master of the Zhen Dan Association."

"Sigh," Zimo sighed, "The current Zhen Dan Association is preparing to refine the Gu Ling Pill to Imprison the Spirituality of the Ghost Immortals and reduce the strength of the Ghost Immortals.

However, reducing the Ghost Immortals is useless; everything they do is in vain."

Lin Chao hesitated for a moment: "Master, why don't you tell others in Jiuzhou about the Immortals behind the Ghost Immortals?"

Zimo's gaze was complex: "My brother made an agreement with them not to expose their existence."

"I see," Lin Chao nodded.

For Zimo, the Zhen Dan Association refining the Gu Ling Pill, the Pan Human Sword merging, and the various heaven-gifted geniuses working hard to improve their strength to fight against the Ghost Immortals were all in vain.

For Lin Chao, it was not; it was just that everyone was doing what they felt was right.

Wasn't Lin Chao doing the same?

Just at this moment, an obscure aura permeated the air.

In the dark, Lin Chao sensed a giant hand reaching out from above the Heavenly Vault.

Zimo's expression changed slightly: "The Ghost Immortals are harvesting."
