After the many Yao Beasts present left, Ye Lin slowly stepped into the Purple Deep Spring. Looking at the clear spring water before him, Ye Lin pondered for a moment.
On the panel, Huang Xiong seemed to have obtained the Sword Talisman from the bottom of the spring.
Thus, Ye Lin no longer hesitated. He immediately jumped into the spring water and swam towards the deepest part. Upon reaching the bottom of the spring, Ye Lin searched everywhere.
This was also thanks to the exceptionally clear spring water, which allowed him to see the entire appearance of the spring bottom.
“Found it.”
At this moment, Ye Lin punched a rock. In an instant, the rock shattered into powder, and behind it, a Sword Talisman was perfectly stuck.
Ye Lin grabbed the Sword Talisman and swam upwards. Upon reaching the ground, his entire body was enveloped by green spiritual flames. The next moment, his clothes were dried.
“I didn’t expect spiritual flames to have this use.”
Ye Lin exclaimed in admiration, taking out the Sword Talisman.
The Sword Talisman was triangular in shape, made of unknown material, and faintly, a ripple of Sword Intent could be felt from it.
“I didn’t expect it to be Sword Intent.”
Ye Lin was inwardly shocked. All weapons and martial arts in the world could be divided into: Introductory, Profound, Major Achievement, Intent, Domain, Law, and Dao.
Those capable of Cultivating Sword Intent were all powerful individuals.
“To be able to condense Sword Intent into a Sword Talisman, it definitely isn’t a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator; he doesn’t have that ability. Perhaps, this Sword Talisman has been placed here for a long time, and the Sword Intent has faded.”
“Even a faded Sword Intent can unleash an attack equivalent to Foundation Establishment Initial Stage. It is truly formidable.”
Ye Lin put away the Sword Talisman, looked around, and quickly departed.
Humans and Yao Beasts are, after all, two different races, and their hatred is not small. If he stayed here for too long, it was possible he would attract the attention of high-level Yao Beasts, and then the trouble would be great.
Yao Beasts are everywhere in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and the Qingyun Sect, as the dominant Sect within a thousand miles, only dares to deter them, not daring to enter the mountains to slaughter Yao Beasts. The fundamental reason is that they cannot defeat them.
The journey was smooth with no major incidents, and he finally arrived at the Qingyun Sect. With the strength of Qi Training Eighth Layer, he still had to be careful in the outer regions of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, let alone the central areas.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot about this thing.”
At this moment, Ye Lin suddenly stopped and walked towards his former servant quarters.
Upon arriving at the residence, Ye Lin looked around and then breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no one had entered.
He then took out the blood soul tree from under the bed. The most valuable things he possessed were this blood soul tree and Acquired Breath Soil. If these things went missing, he would have nowhere to cry.
Ye Lin placed the blood soul tree on his chest and hurried towards the Inner Sect. His steps were extremely fast along the way, and no one could clearly see what he was carrying.
Upon arriving at his residence, Ye Lin placed the blood soul tree under his bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
The Sect was very good at protecting the privacy of Inner Sect Disciples. Anyone who dared to enter another person’s residence without their permission, once discovered, would be left at least half-crippled if not dead.
This was why Ye Lin dared to bring the blood soul tree into the Inner Sect; no one would dare to trespass into his residence.
A day passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Lin got up, dressed, and after washing, walked towards the office.
Because today was the day for his medicinal bath.
Upon arriving at the office, he saw Zhao Li closing his eyes to rest.
“Senior Brother, I am here today for my medicinal bath.”
At this moment, Ye Lin spoke. Hearing this, Zhao Li slowly opened his eyes.
“So it’s Junior Brother Ye. Everything is ready. Follow me.”
Zhao Li nodded and led Ye Lin towards the back door.
The medicinal bath was a benefit only enjoyed by Inner Sect Disciples. Various medicinal ingredients were precisely proportioned, and the entire process was worth one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.
It could be said that the Qingyun Sect truly treated its Inner Sect Disciples like their own sons.
And rightly so. Once Inner Sect Disciples grew up, they would become the backbone of the Qingyun Sect’s fighting force, so they had to be carefully nurtured. As for Outer Sect Disciples, they were merely peripheral figures.
It could be said that if an Outer Sect Disciple died, the Qingyun Sect would at most investigate briefly.
If an Inner Sect Disciple died, even the high-level officials of the Qingyun Sect would take the matter seriously.
This was the obvious disparity.
“Junior Brother Ye, please enter this medicinal tub. I will prepare the medicine for you.”
At this moment, Zhao Li pointed to a man-high medicinal tub in front and said. Ye Lin remained silent for a moment.
“Senior Brother, can I not take it off?”
After thinking for a long time, Ye Lin finally managed to blurt out this sentence.
“How can you not take it off? With clothes obstructing, the medicinal effect might be reduced. You must think carefully.”
“Junior Brother Ye, we are all men, what’s there to be afraid of? I won’t take advantage of you.”
Hearing this, Zhao Li said normally. He had long been accustomed to these things. Ye Lin was not the only one; the previous five were also like this, all timid and hesitant like girls.
You have what I have, so why be so hesitant?
“Okay.”
Ye Lin nodded, stripped off his clothes, and jumped into the tub. Immediately, a stinging pain came.
“Hiss, Senior Brother, is this boiling water?”
Ye Lin asked Zhao Li with some surprise.
“That’s right. Only boiling water can better extract the medicinal effects from the ingredients. Moreover, to be able to defeat Lin Ziyou, your strength must be at least Qi Training Ninth Layer, right?”
Listening to Zhao Li’s explanation, Ye Lin nodded. Once one Breaks Through Qi Training Fifth Level, so-called boiling water would cause no harm to a Cultivator at all.
One could even bathe in boiling water.
“Alright, later, close your eyes, circulate your Cultivation Technique, and fully absorb the medicinal effects. Once absorbed, this medicine can lay a Foundation for your Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
“It is incredibly beneficial. If it weren’t for the fact that each Inner Sect Disciple only gets one chance for a medicinal bath in their lifetime, I would want to soak several times.”
Zhao Li looked at Ye Lin with some envy, then placed the medicinal ingredients in his hand into the water one by one. These ingredients all had specific quantities; how much was used had to be recorded, giving him no opportunity to steal medicine.
As the medicinal effect began to enter his body, Ye Lin’s face turned red, and his entire body was incredibly stinging, as if ants were crawling on him, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Moreover, his internal organs felt as if they were being roasted over a fire, and the intense pain made him clench his teeth.
Ye Lin quickly circulated the Star Art and began to refine it meticulously.
He could endure the immense pain of refining Yao Beast cores. This bit of pain, though very painful, could not disturb his Dao Heart at all.
In the blink of an eye, three hours passed. Zhao Li, who was guarding him, became increasingly alarmed as he watched.
“Hiss, in the past, no Disciple had ever lasted more than an hour inside. This Junior Brother Ye can actually endure for three hours; it’s simply rare.”
Zhao Li was full of shock. The medicinal power in this medicinal bath was incredibly overbearing; few Disciples could endure for more than an hour.
They simply couldn’t bear the pain.
But what about Ye Lin? Having experienced the pain of refining Yao Beast cores, this bit of pain was nothing to him.
Boom!
Just then, the medicinal tub in front of him suddenly exploded, and countless splashes of water scattered in all directions. Zhao Li seemed to have known this would happen and directly picked up the table in front of him to block.
This was how Disciples were the first time they soaked in the medicinal bath; the tub would explode every time.
After absorbing the medicinal power, their bodies would be filled with strength, urgently wanting to vent, and the way they vented was by exploding the tub.
This had made him incredibly experienced.
“Ah, what a comfortable feeling.”
Just now, after absorbing all the medicinal effects, Ye Lin felt a blockage in his heart. Now that he had released the excess power from his body, his entire body immediately felt incomparably comfortable.
Moreover, his entire body was filled with power, and in his Dantian, that cluster of Spiritual Qi also became more condensed.
