The Disciple hierarchy of the Qingyun Sect is extremely strict; an Outer Sect Disciple who wishes to become an Inner Sect Disciple must challenge and defeat an Inner Sect Disciple to achieve that status.
Zhang Xiao's closed-door Cultivation was precisely to contend for the Inner Sect Disciple position, knowing that in half a year, it would be the day the Qingyun Sect Secret Realm opened.
To enter the Secret Realm, one must have the identity of an Inner Sect Disciple. The second point is that each Inner Sect Disciple can bring a maximum of three subordinates when entering the Secret Realm.
The reason they went to such great lengths was to gamble that Zhang Xiao would become an Inner Sect Disciple after emerging from Cultivation, and then they would tie Ye Lin before Zhang Xiao.
By then, when the Secret Realm opens in half a year, they could also enter the Secret Realm with Zhang Xiao. The Secret Realm contains countless treasures and is a place all Disciples of the Qingyun Sect, from top to bottom, dream of.
It can be said that currently, every ambitious Disciple in the Outer Sect is staring intently at Ye Lin. Zhang Xiao is in closed-door Cultivation and completely unaware of this matter. Now, it's up to them to handle it for Zhang Xiao.
Just after the two disappeared, Ye Lin appeared at the spot where they had previously been.
Name: Zhao Hu
Cultivation: Qi Training Fifth Level
Fate: White (Ordinary)
Fate Logic: 【Average Luck】 【Martial Arts Great Master】
Destiny: In half a year, he will be ordered to descend the mountain to eliminate demons, and will be drained of all his essence blood by a Yao Beast and die.
Recent Opportunity: The day after tomorrow night, he will go to Crescent Moon Mountain to hide treasures, fall off a cliff by accident, discover a cave at the bottom of the cliff, and find a Yellow Rank High Grade Earth Vein Essence Qi within the cave. After absorbing it, he will instantly Breakthrough to Qi Cultivation Sixth Level.
【Average Luck】: Your luck is much higher than ordinary people. Good luck often allows you to turn danger into safety.
【Martial Arts Great Master】: You are always more sensitive to various Martial Skills than ordinary people, able to find flaws within them and improve upon them.
"Zhao Hu, huh? Such a cautious personality. He's a troublesome opponent."
Ye Lin stood in place, muttering. Rather than saying these two were following him, it was more accurate to say he was following these two.
When the two stopped, he hid in the shadows, watching them. Even with the assistance of the immortal sword, he couldn't guarantee a 100% victory against them.
But if he lured them to the foot of the mountain, then they would surely die, because the foot of Qingyun Sect mountain is a place where Yao Beasts constantly dwell.
The location of the Qingyun Sect is deep within the mountains, surrounded by Yao Beasts. The Qingyun Sect, in turn, suppresses the Yao Beasts in all directions, preventing them from running rampant in the mortal world.
Although this is the case, if you provoke a Yao Beast, you'll still be eaten. Moreover, those Yao Beasts are not something an Outer Sect Disciple can contend with.
However, now that the two have retreated, it's a bit regrettable, but until he is strong enough, he must proceed cautiously step by step.
"Earth Vein Essence Qi? That's a good thing."
Earth Vein Essence Qi is a pure and incomparable Qi formed from the earth's Qi accumulating over time deep underground. Once refined, it can greatly strengthen one's body.
After standing for a few minutes, Ye Lin flashed a few times and disappeared, heading towards Wang Family Village.
Wang Family Village is just a small village at the foot of Qingyun Mountain.
Due to the existence of the Qingyun Sect, some small villages around can safely survive in this mountain range infested with Yao Beasts, and the Yao Beasts do not dare to be too presumptuous.
And the Qingyun Sect's fresh blood and food supply each year come from these small villages. The Qingyun Sect provides them protection, and they, in turn, provide the Qingyun Sect with grain and other basic necessities.
Ye Lin's speed was extremely fast; in a moment, he arrived in Wang Family Village.
At night, everyone was sleeping and resting, and it was incredibly quiet.
"As expected."
Ye Lin stood in a cave entrance, looking at the three eggs lying inside, thinking to himself.
Generally, low-level Yao Beasts will dig their own dens and hide themselves well.
Otherwise, once discovered by Loose Cultivators or Qingyun Sect Disciples undergoing training, death would be inevitable.
Then, Ye Lin quickly picked up the three fist-sized Yao Beast eggs and, under the cover of night, went deeper into the mountain forest.
"Instead of taking them up the mountain, it's better to refine them here."
Looking at the three Qi Training Ninth Layer Yao Beast eggs before him, Ye Lin unhesitatingly swallowed all the egg liquid into his stomach.
In an instant, a violent Spiritual Qi spread within his body. Seeing this, Ye Lin dared not be careless and immediately circulated the Star Art, refining it bit by bit.
At the same time, the Spiritual Qi floating in the wilderness also began to rapidly surge into Ye Lin's body, solidifying his Foundation little by little.
"It's time."
Ye Lin suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and circulated the Seven Kill Fist, pouring all the current resources into the Seven Kill Fist. Rapid Realm advancement can easily lead to an unstable Foundation.
Suddenly, loud noises echoed through the otherwise silent wilderness.
Time passed by minute by minute. During this period, Ye Lin's understanding of the Seven Kill Fist deepened.
A day and a night passed like this. On the evening of the second day, Ye Lin suddenly opened his eyes and punched a large tree in front of him, a tree so large that one person could not embrace it.
With a loud bang, the tree trunk was instantly broken by Ye Lin's punch, and the entire tree crashed down into the mountain forest with a thud.
"Hoo, now, I can already kill a Qi Refining Fifth Level Cultivator with one punch."
Seeing this, Ye Lin chuckled. In a day and a night, he had Cultivated the Seven Kill Fist to the third layer, which was incredibly fast.
"I wonder what my current destiny is."
Name: Ye Lin
Cultivation: Qi Training Fifth Level
Fate: Black (Full of Misfortune)
Fate Logic: 【Bad Luck】 【Divine Comprehension】
Destiny: Nan Xing and Zhao Hu, sensing something was amiss, knew you had discovered their movements and were prepared. However, Zhao Hu felt your Cultivation was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. To be safe, he tested you the night after next, and was shocked to discover your strength far exceeded Qi Training Stage - Level 3. He then gathered two Outer Sect Disciples to ambush you three days later, crippling you and imprisoning you underground. Two months later, Zhang Xiao will emerge from Cultivation and kill you.
Recent Opportunity: None
【Bad Luck】: Your luck is poor, for example, you will definitely fall when walking, and you will definitely be cheated on if you get married.
【Divine Comprehension】: Your Comprehension Ability is extraordinary. You learn various Cultivation Techniques extremely quickly. For the same Cultivation Technique, others need three months, while you only need a few days.
Looking at his own destiny, Ye Lin's heart tightened. Indeed, they were old sly foxes. Upon realizing that he had detected their movements, they would not act for a short period.
Instead, they would test him, ascertain his true strength, and then ambush him. What a cautious mindset.
But in your hearts, I am just a small ant at Qi Training Stage - Level 3, aren't I?
"A test, huh?"
Ye Lin sneered inwardly, then headed towards the Qingyun Sect.
Under the cover of night, after arriving at his dwelling, Ye Lin hid his long sword under the bed.
"Being monitored feels really bad."
Ye Lin said with a grim expression. Ever since he entered the Sect, he had felt an eye in the shadows constantly watching him.
"Their current assessment of me is only at Qi Training Stage - Level 3. They know nothing about the long sword or the Seven Kill Fist being Cultivated to the third layer."
"If I Breakthrough to Qi Cultivation Sixth Level tonight, with the long sword assisting me, then I'll just wait for them to jump into the net one by one."
"Tomorrow night, I'll go absorb the Earth Vein Essence Qi first. By then, I'll give you a surprise."
After speaking, Ye Lin sat cross-legged on the bed. All the resources from the three Yao Beast eggs he had used to practice the Seven Kill Fist, which resulted in no change in his Realm.
However, his current Qi Training Fifth Level Realm was incredibly solid; he was just one step away from entering Qi Cultivation Sixth Level.
There is a huge gap between Qi Training Fifth Level and Qi Training Stage - Level 3. Since that's the case, he would give them the illusion that he was only at Qi Training Stage - Level 3.
He would give them the illusion that they could easily kill him. By then, he would always be in the dominant position.
At that time, who was the prey and who was the hunter, remained to be seen.
Ye Lin held two Low-Grade Spirit Stones in his hands, then circulated the Star Art, and his entire body surged with Spiritual Power.
In the blink of an eye, a night passed. The next day, looking at the powder in his hands, Ye Lin's lips curved upwards.
In one night, he had entered Qi Cultivation Sixth Level.
