Chapter 89 – Bullying the Magic Treasure
Wang Lin’s eyes flashed coldly as he said, “I’m here to cultivate, so unless absolutely necessary, I don’t want to act. If you step back and don’t bother me anymore, I’ll let you go and forget about this matter.”
The strange man had a confused expression and uttered some strange words. It was clear that he didn’t understand Wang Lin, and Wang Lin couldn’t understand him.
Wang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly moved toward the broken wall. The strange man immediately became alert when he saw Wang Lin move.
Wang Lin waved his right hand rapidly as he drew on the broken wall. The strange man was stunned. Staring at Wang Lin’s finger, he revealed a look of understanding.
Wang Lin’s finger quickly drew an image of the ruins and then, with a swipe of his finger, he drew a line that split the ruins in two.
Then, Wang Lin pointed at the strange man, then pointed to the right side of the picture, then pointed to himself, followed by the left side of the picture. After doing all that, Wang Lin’s finger slowly moved left and right, leaving marks on the wall as he stared at the strange man. His eyes were filled with killing intent, his intentions clear.
“If you come to my side again, I will waste my spiritual power to kill you!”
The strange man was shocked. He hesitated for a moment, rubbing his chest with a frightened expression. He stared at the flying sword with fear in his eyes and shouted strange words.
Wang Lin frowned. After the strange person saw that Wang Lin didn’t understand him, he quickly panicked and began waving his arms. He then suddenly snapped his head around and moved to the side of the wall, punching it. As he punched the wall, a symbol on his body lit up, and the wall collapsed.
The strange man picked up some broken wall fragments. He stared at them with reminiscence in his eyes. He placed the stones on the ground, then looked at Wang Lin and chanted a few words.
Wang Lin’s face relaxed slightly. He grabbed the air, and suddenly, all the rocks beside the strange person moved to the side in a certain order. Then, his right hand formed a seal and emitted light. Soon, mist formed around the rocks.
Wang Lin looked at the stranger and asked calmly, “Is this the limit you were talking about?”
The strange man immediately showed a joyful expression as he waved his arms and pounded his chest. Suddenly, a symbol on his body lit up, and he opened his arms. The ground suddenly shook, and the piece of land where the stone formation was located flew into the air, leaving a large crater in the ground.
The small confusion formation floated in the air like a small mountain above the stranger’s head. He nodded at Wang Lin, then quickly left. After a short distance, he stopped and turned to face Wang Lin. He shouted a few words at Wang Lin and gestured before disappearing into the distance.
Wang Lin stared at the strange figure. It wasn’t that he hadn’t considered killing the strange figure, but the yellow talisman on his body was too powerful. Unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to engage in a life-and-death battle with the strange figure.
As he thought this, his expression suddenly changed. The flying sword flew to his side as his eyes filled with killing intent. That freak was back!
Wang Lin stared at the figure in front of him and said, in a cold voice, “You are seeking death.”
The strange man immediately stopped. He was holding a round object in his hand. He waved his hand and tried to explain. After seeing that Wang Lin’s eyes were still cold, he threw the round object toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin took a slow step. The strange man didn’t exert much force, so the round object rolled slightly and stopped in front of Wang Lin.
After throwing the object, the foreign man smiled at Wang Lin and left.
At this moment, the sky was still bright, so Wang Lin carefully looked at the figure. After a long while, he withdrew his gaze. He walked toward the round object and looked down.
It was a bead only 1/10 the size of a fist. It was covered in dust and even had a few cracks on it. After looking at the bead for a while, he revealed a surprised expression. He picked up a stone from the ground and lightly hit the bead. The bead rolled backwards for a moment.
A weak fragment of spiritual power leaked from the beads.
“Is this a treasure?” He was stunned. He grabbed the air with his right hand, and the bead floated into the air. After observing it for a moment, he grabbed it with his right hand without hesitation. He scanned it with his divine sense and imbued it with a bit of spiritual power.
Suddenly, white smoke came out of the bead. The smoke floated above and formed the figure of an old man. The old man had hair like a crane, skin like a chicken, a beak like an eagle, and a head like a hawk. The old man exuded a dangerous aura. He looked at Wang Lin casually and revealed a sinister smile. He said, “Do you dare to fight with this old man?”
Wang Lin was stunned and took a few steps back. After a closer look, he realized that the person was only at the 15th layer of Qi Condensation. He rubbed his nose. His eyes lit up, and he immediately sent more spiritual power into the stone bead.
With the influx of spiritual energy, the old man’s spiritual power rapidly increased until it reached the middle Foundation Establishment stage. His hair fluttered without any wind, and his body released a powerful fighting aura. The old man floated into the air and said, “Do you dare to fight with this old man?”
Wang Lin was completely stunned. He didn’t know what this bead was for and decided to pour more spiritual power into it.
The old man’s eyes shone brightly, and his aura rapidly increased. His hands moved, causing thunderous rumbles as his cultivation level increased to the point where Wang Lin couldn’t even tell what level it was. The old man’s cultivation had reached a level that would cause fear with just a glance. The old man let out a sigh, releasing the aura of an unrivaled expert. He clasped his hands behind his back and said, “Those below the Core Formation stage have no right to fight me. Get lost!”
Wang Lin withdrew his spiritual power, and the old man immediately disappeared, turning back into white smoke. The smoke returned to the bead, and with a cracking sound, another crack appeared on the bead.
Wang Lin stared at the stone bead and was speechless. He was completely convinced of the stone bead’s effects. The stone bead was a magical treasure whose illusions were almost indistinguishable from reality. The old man, despite his manner of speaking, exuded the aura of a master, like his final words, “Those below the Core Formation stage have no right to oppose me. Get lost!”
His aura and expression had reached their peak. Wang Lin was confident that even he himself wouldn’t be able to tell that it was fake. After all, from most people’s perspective, the old man had the aura of an old master.
And as his own cultivation increased, he could infuse more spiritual power into the bead, and the old man’s strength would increase. This was truly the best method for intimidating people.
Wang Lin put away the treasure and muttered to himself, “This strange blue person is truly interesting. He must have felt uneasy after destroying that small confusion formation, so he gave me this treasure.”
From this small conversation, he immediately realized that the strange man could not use magic treasures and that within the ruins, there must be more magic treasures.
Now this ruined city has become a treasure in Wang Lin’s eyes.
“This place has a mysterious light that heals wounds, an illusory magic treasure, and a strange blue person. What other secrets does this place hold?” Wang Lin rubbed his chin. It was still bright, so he set down the formation again. He sat in the center and drank some Yin Spirit Liquid, then began cultivating.
Two months passed quickly.
On this day, Wang Lin sat cross-legged inside the room. In two months of cultivating extreme Yin energy, he had accumulated enough energy to attempt his first breakthrough.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. He had finished studying the Underworld Ascension method and knew exactly how the three major breakthroughs would occur.
The three key points for breakthrough are the dantain in his abdomen, the sea of Qi in his chest, and the ancestral meridian.
These three locations need to be penetrated three times each to form a cold core. In other words, for the first level, the dantain must be opened, and upon reaching level 2, the opening in the dantain must be destroyed and reopened.
The principle of the Underworld Method is to be destroyed first, then recover to gain more power.
Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then moved the Yin energy in his dance to begin his first breakthrough.
Under his control, the Yin energy spun faster and faster, causing a sharp pain in his abdomen. Wang Lin was very familiar with this technique, so he knew that the stronger the pain, the closer the breakthrough was.
This kind of pain wasn’t something a normal person could endure. It felt like someone was stabbing his stomach with a sword and churning it. In just a few breaths, Wang Lin was already covered in cold sweat.
Yin energy rapidly formed a vortex beneath the swirl as it expanded. From the outside, Wang Lin’s stomach turned green, and frost began to gather around his body.
Wang Lin gritted his teeth as the pain intensified. Suddenly, a cold energy swept through his body.
At this point, with the swirling of Yin energy, a black hole appeared. As the hole appeared, all the Yin energy sank into it like a stone in water.
Soon, all of the Spiritual energy also began to be devoured as it left his body and entered the black hole.
A strange change occurred within the black hole. The spiritual power that had always ignored the Yin energy within Wang Lin’s body began to battle with the Yin energy. The two energies fiercely fought for control.
Gradually, the Yin energy and spiritual power began to devour and mix with each other, forming a new type of spiritual power that slowly rotated inside the black hole.
