Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

But at this moment, she suddenly felt that the Demon Pearl was priceless, and this husband beside her... he was something that countless Demon Pearls couldn't exchange for! Even that mysterious female cultivator praised him as a peerless genius among millions!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yufei gently shook her head. "After leaving the Demon-Suppressing Valley, won't you still have to prepare for the Ba Mountain Secret Realm? Each of these Demon Pearls can significantly improve your strength. These two newly acquired Marsh Python Demon Pearls and Evil Sheep Demon Pearls, in your hands, can multiply your combat power many times over! I really want a Demon Pearl, but your safety is more important than ten or even a hundred Demon Pearls! With you around, am I still afraid I won't be able to get Demon Pearls in the future?"

Lin Xuankong was somewhat surprised by her words. At this moment, she gently leaned closer. Feeling the gentleness of this cold and charming Daoist nun, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.

"The Blood-Burning Secret Technique I've been cultivating recently is quite interesting. Shall I let Yufei try it today?"

Deep in the night, moonlight poured over Luoxia Slope. The mountainside had already become a forbidden area. Disciples at the late stage of the fourth layer of the Holy Dragon Association stood solemnly around, ensuring that not a single living thing—even a fly—could pass!

At the mountain peak, inside the Stone Tower Secret Chamber, Xiaoo Ying'Er gently exhaled, sensing the Wood Vein gradually emerging within her. After seven hours of breakthrough, she had finally become an early-stage martial cultivator of the sixth layer! This realm was already the level of Celestial Sect Elders. From this moment on, she, the Celestial Sect Saintess, finally possessed strength matching her status!

Once the Transformation Grass Vein, with its Transformation Power, grows to mid-grade, she will be able to transform into any martial cultivator she has met, even imitating their True Qi aura without the slightest flaw!

It was all thanks to that peerless genius, Lin Xuankong. If it weren't for the battle with him, her bottleneck at the late stage of the fifth layer would have delayed her for at least half a year, if not a full year! How many martial cultivators at the late stage of the fifth layer were stuck in this realm their entire lives, unable to break through—such as the four guardians under Prefect Liy of the Great Marsh Prefecture, the leaders of the Black Tiger Gang and Spirit Snake Gang, the Yin Talisman Sect Leader, the patriarchs of the Guo Family and Feng Family, as well as many stewards of the Holy Dragon Association...

Thinking of this, Saintess Xiaoo Ying'Er couldn't help but look at the Holy Arrival Jade Token beside her. I wonder what that 'Blood Ox' genius is busy with now? Her lips curled up, a mischievous look in her eyes. She picked up the jade token, channeling her True Qi into it. Immediately, some blurry images and sounds entered her mind.

This sound... is so strange... Saintess Xiaoo Ying'Er frowned slightly, channeling more True Qi into the jade token. Soon, those blurry images and sounds became somewhat clearer!

The next moment, Saintess Xiaoo Ying'Er's usually calm and clear eyes widened significantly.

Hmm???

Hmm!!!!!

What on earth! Why am I seeing such images and hearing such sounds!

Surprised and flustered, her breathing became erratic, and she threw the Holy Arrival Jade Token from her hand! She anxiously tried to stabilize her somewhat chaotic True Qi, shaking her head hard as if trying to erase the images she had just seen from her mind.

Unfortunately, the more one tries to forget something, the more one tends to remember it! For a moment, those images and sounds, like a Demon Spell, trapped Saintess Xiaoo Ying'Er!

"I, Xiaoo Ying'Er, swear I will never use the Holy Arrival Jade Token to spy on others again! How could I have encountered such a thing!"

「Six days later,」

At the entrance of a stone house deep within Cliff Peak, Lin Xuankong looked at the over one hundred martial cultivators outside. They were handling the hundreds of Marsh Python corpses he and Zhao Yufei had slain nearby. These people included not only martial cultivators from the Xun Character Gathering Place but also all the martial cultivators who had rushed over from the Zhen Character Gathering Place, including Lv Sandao and others.

At this moment, as the many martial cultivators processed the Demon corpses and looked towards Lin Xuankong, their gazes held admiration and gratitude, as well as deep apprehension!

Two days ago, after careful consideration, Lin Xuankong had made all the martial cultivators who knew his strength swear an oath, just as Han Feiyan had done. They also had to go into hiding for a while after returning to their respective sects! Lin Xuankong did this because he understood very well that his astonishing abilities, including the killing of Liy Ruofeng, needed to be kept secret for the time being!

Whether these people could avoid the investigations of powers like the Black Tiger Gang was not a major concern. The sects and factions behind them, though not as powerful as the Black Tiger Gang, were influential in their own territories. Hiding for a while would be no problem at all, unless the Black Tiger Gang dared to casually wipe out a sect with thousands of members.

This method couldn't keep their mouths shut forever, but he didn't need to silence them for too long. As long as the secret could be hidden for another month or two, it would be enough time for him to become a true powerhouse with True Qi. By then, even without using many Demon Pearls and treasures, he would be able to match fifth-layer experts. And if he used all his trump cards...

Retracting his gaze, Lin Xuankong turned and entered the stone house to continue his cultivation.

Several hours later, he withdrew his Heart Spirit from his cultivation, his eyes showing joy as he looked at his fingernails. At this moment, his previously dry and aged fingernails had become quite lustrous, almost like jade.
