"It’s alright. This kind of thing is very common within my sect."
Ling Chen’s lips twitched.
This is the disparity between people!
The treasure he dreamt of, others took for granted as if it was nothing but water.
However, he wasn’t the type to resent heavens or others.
He reached out and snatched the Jade Bottle, saying, "Then this belongs to me now."
If the item were precious to Mr. Shen, he wouldn’t have taken it so forcefully.
But if it was common, then there was no need for courtesy.
Perhaps due to his cultivation of the Undying Star power, he felt an instant bond with Mr. Shen, which was quite endearing.
So he couldn’t be bothered with formalities.
Mr. Shen was also very generous, waving his hand with excitement in his eyes.
"Young Master Ling, I still don’t know which sect you are from?"
The Yin Yang Harmony Dew was collected from the Yin Yang Harmony Flower.
It seems that Mr. Shen’s sect is very good at cultivating spiritual plants.
Mr. Shen’s face turned slightly red as he said, "I can’t reveal that for now."
"I have been presumptuous."
Ling Chen promptly apologized.
Mr. Shen waved his hand and said, "It’s not your concern. My sect has instructed that when out on training, we should not reveal the sect’s name. All I can tell you is that my sect is one of the top powers in the Central Region."
Seeing Ling Chen tightly clutching the Jade Bottle filled with Yin Yang Harmony Dew and fondly stroking it, Mr. Shen said, "Young Master Ling, I won’t disturb you any longer."
He understood that Ling Chen was probably eager to cultivate the Undying Star Body.
After seeing Mr. Shen off, Ling Chen went back into seclusion.
His physical body had already reached the third limit of the Undying Star Body.
With the Yin Yang Harmony Dew in hand, he could break through to the fourth level.
After taking ten drops of Yin Yang Harmony Dew, Ling Chen activated the Undying Star Body Technique and began to refine it.
Ling Chen had finally broken through to the fourth level of the Undying Star Body.
With his physical body alone, Ling Chen was now comparable to a third-level cultivator of the Palace Mansion Realm!
Ling Chen slowly clenched his right hand, and the sound of thunder seemed to resonate within his grasp.
This was a sign of a physical body’s extreme strength.
"My physical body has grown stronger, I should be able to continue condensing Green Lotus Sword Qi, right?"
Ling Chen thought to himself.
Currently, his Dantian could only house eighty-one strands of Green Lotus Sword Qi.
The main reason was that his physical body was not strong enough.
Now, with the successful cultivation of the fourth level of the Undying Star Body, he could finally continue to condense Green Lotus Sword Qi.
With a thought, Ling Chen combined the powers of Spiritual Power and Telekinesis into the Power of Fusion, instantly converging them. Soon after, another strand of Green Lotus Sword Qi appeared in the Sword Qi River within his Dantian.
Looking at the eighty-two strands of Green Lotus Sword Qi in his Dantian, Ling Chen was incredibly excited.
Next, Ling Chen continued to refine Green Lotus Sword Qi.
Now, for Ling Chen, condensing Green Lotus Sword Qi was a simple task.
Even simpler than using a low-grade King Spirit Technique.
The Sword Qi River in Ling Chen’s Dantian had grown eightfold longer than before.
Now, there were a total of seven hundred twenty-nine strands of Green Lotus Sword Qi within the Sword Qi River.
"With these Sword Qi, I should be able to sustain battle for a while," said Ling Chen, smiling.
Previously, he had only eighty-one strands of Green Lotus Sword Qi.
He had to carefully calculate the use of each strand of Green Lotus Sword Qi.
He couldn’t afford to waste them.
You see, a mid-grade King Spirit Technique required nine strands of Green Lotus Sword Qi.
And a high-grade King Spirit Technique needed eighteen strands.
A total of only eighty-one strands was simply not enough.
Although he could condense Green Lotus Sword Qi in a short amount of time, it still required some time.
Combat can change in the blink of an eye.
You cannot afford to be too distracted.
Moreover, condensing Green Lotus Sword Qi also required Spiritual Power.
He still needed to save some for emergencies.
Therefore, he had to manage carefully.
But now, with an eightfold increase, he could finally afford to be a bit more extravagant.
Enough to sustain him in battle for some time.
He no longer needed to resolve battles in such a short time as he did before!
Ling Chen suddenly had a flash of enlightenment in his mind.
"Is this the resonance with the Sword Intent?"
Ling Chen’s eyes suddenly widened.
Condensing the Green Lotus Sword Qi is equivalent to casting a lower-tier King Spirit Technique.
The Green Lotus Sword Manual possesses the capability to assist in the comprehension of the Sword Dao.
He had successively condensed over six hundred strands of Green Lotus Sword Qi, and with the previous accumulation, combined with the aid of the Yin Yang Tao Fruit, he finally grasped the second layer of Sword Intent.
"Now, my strength should have increased considerably again, right?"
Confidence radiated from Ling Chen’s eyes.
The resonance with the Sword Intent directly elevated his attack power to a higher level.
The Undying Star Body made his physique exceedingly powerful.
The strength of his physique brought an all-round enhancement.
Attack, defense, and speed all saw improvements.
Especially speed, it’s estimated to be comparable to the prowess of an eight-layer cultivator of the Palace Mansion Realm.
After concluding his seclusion, Ling Chen sought out Ling Wu, Ji Wuya, and Liu Qingcang.
He gave each of them one Yin Yang Tao Fruit.
Originally having obtained twelve, he consumed one, gave one to the King Spiritual Beast Black Water Poison Crocodile, leaving ten remaining.
Afterward, Ling Chen sent the three to begin their secluded cultivation.
At this time, no time could be wasted.
Feeling the light shining from the east, an unusual color flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes.
Today was the day to announce the news.
It’s likely that soon there will be a great battle here.
Liu Xiao took out a Jade Token.
Spiritual Power poured in.
A layer of light screen materialized in front of him.
After a short while, a figure appeared on the screen.
If Ling Chen were here, he would definitely recognize that this person was the Sect Master of the Burning Flame Sect, Ye Tianjun!
"Liu Xiao, what business do you have with me? If you are here to mock me, then get lost! I am not in the mood right now!" Ye Tianjun spoke.
He truly wasn’t in a good mood.
His son had been killed, so how could his mood be any good?
Moreover, the Burning Flame Sect had almost mobilized all of its people, even dispatching the cultivators from the six great domains, and they still hadn’t found Ling Chen’s whereabouts.
He had scoured nearly the entire Eastern Domain of Qing Province.
Yet, Ling Chen seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth.
Ye Fentian’s murder was not something he expected he could keep from Liu Xiao.
His conspicuous hunt for Ling Chen would undoubtedly have been reported back to Star Court by its spies.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiao cracked a faint smile and said, "Ye Tianjun, I have good news for you."
"What news?" Ye Tianjun’s eyes narrowed.
"News about Ling Chen!" Liu Xiao said with a light smile.
"Ling Chen? Do you know where that person is?" Ye Tianjun’s expression became somewhat excited.
"Of course." Liu Xiao nodded, "Otherwise, do you think I have nothing better to do than to come looking for you?"
"Where is he?" Ye Tianjun’s voice was a bit excited.
Ling Chen had killed his only son, and he wished to tear Ling Chen into a thousand pieces.
"He’s with me!" said Liu Xiao.
"What are your conditions?" Ye Tianjun immediately responded.
It was clear that Liu Xiao understood the importance of Ling Chen.
He had captured Ling Chen, preparing to negotiate a trade with him.
"Conditions? What conditions?" Liu Xiao appeared puzzled.
"Hmph!" Ye Tianjun coldly said, "Do you think I’ll believe that you would hand Ling Chen over to me out of the goodness of your heart?"
Liu Xiao laughed heartily, "Who said I’m going to give Ling Chen to you? My main intention this time is to inform you that Ling Chen is now a disciple of my Star Court. If you have the capability, come and catch him yourself!"
"What?" Ye Tianjun’s face was one of disbelief.
Then a roar erupted, "Liu Xiao, you’re courting death, how dare you toy with me!"
"Toy with you?" Liu Xiao looked at Ye Tianjun’s exceedingly gloomy face, feeling immensely satisfied inside.
"Come, let me introduce someone to you!"
Liu Xiao gestured, and a young man walked in.
"Ling Chen, say hello to Brother Ye!"
Liu Xiao smiled faintly.
