Chapter 216 – Main Body, Appears!
Before Wang Lin entered the Heaven-Defying Bead, he set up several hidden restrictions to prevent people from entering the room. Even if they did, Wang Lin’s entire body would disappear, so they wouldn’t be able to find anything.
After all, even Duanmu, who had separated his spirits, couldn’t find the whereabouts of the Heaven-defying Bead. The Sky Cloud Sect only had Nascent Soul cultivators, so they wouldn’t be able to find anything.
Wang Lin paid his respects to his parents and Situ Nan, then sat down to cultivate for a while. Then, he took out the Foundation Building pills, placed them aside, and put one into his mouth.
As the Foundation Building Pill entered his mouth, it transformed into pure spiritual energy. Wang Lin calmly activated the ancient god tactic.
Under his control, the spiritual energy absorbed by the ancient god tactics did not enter his body, but formed a vortex in his stomach.
After the last bit of spiritual energy from the Foundation Building Pill entered the vortex, it suddenly expanded and began to move upwards.
Wang Lin was no longer a novice cultivator. He knew that if this vortex could flow through his entire body, he would successfully enter the Foundation Establishment stage. If he possessed sufficient talent, this vortex would have no problem doing so.
However, if the talent is not enough, it will appear as if there is an invisible blockade that makes the vortex path around the body increasingly difficult to pass through.
The whirlpool around his body began to spin faster and faster. The whirlpool was like a large tree, rapidly spreading its roots throughout Wang Lin’s body.
However, Wang Lin had too many obstacles in his body. The whirlpool was like a wave crashing against a rock on the shore. Initially, he broke through many obstacles, but the whirlpool soon began to slow down and even felt like it was about to shrink.
Wang Lin took a deep breath. Without a word, he took another Foundation Building Pill. The vortex suddenly gained a surge of power and began to expand again.
Time passed slowly as Wang Lin successfully reached the Foundation Building stage. After an unknown amount of time passed, Wang Lin consumed the eighth Foundation Building Pill, and with a booming sound, a whirlpool flowed through his body. Countless specks of light appeared around him, as a dark liquid began to leak out of his pores.
After a long time, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes. They flashed like lightning, and he immediately discovered that his meridians were almost translucent and several times larger than before. Even his main body hadn’t experienced anything like this when he reached the Foundation Building stage.
Wang Lin pondered for a moment. He wasn’t sure if this had anything to do with the ancient god tactics. After all, the ancient god tactics were a technique that absorbed spiritual energy, and the Foundation Building Pill was just like a more powerful Pei Yuan Pill, only its effects were many times stronger.
A powerful burst of spiritual energy cleanses the entire body, preparing it for cultivation. That is the true meaning of Foundation Building.
However, these types of changes occur internally, whereas the reconstruction of the ancient god’s body is an external transformation. In fact, the two are very similar, except that the ancient god used spiritual energy to transform his external body to absorb more spiritual energy and become stronger.
The cultivator’s inner change is to feel more of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but, ultimately, also to become stronger.
One is inner cultivation, while the other is outer purification. The paths are different, but the goal is the same.
Wang Lin’s main body deliberately prevented the avatar body from absorbing spiritual energy and pushing it to its core, but after his body went through reconstruction once and a purple star appeared on his head, his main body was already on the path of refining the outer body.
He was very careful when forming his avatar, so it didn’t undergo any bodily reconstruction. He had been paying attention from the start, so his avatar followed the path of inner cultivation.
Wang Lin took the jade bottle. There were still five Foundation Building Pills left. He pondered for a moment, then put the pills into his body and began cultivating again.
Time passed slowly. The spiritual energy within the five Foundation Building Pills exploded outward. A normal person wouldn’t be able to withstand that much spiritual energy. If it were a normal person, if they didn’t die, they would lose all the spiritual energy in their body.
However, Wang Lin possessed the ancient god tactic, one of the most powerful techniques in existence. The one thing the ancient god tactic feared least was spiritual energy, no matter how abundant it was. All the spiritual energy generated by the five Foundation Building Pills was absorbed before it could harm the body.
Wang Lin’s cultivation increased from just reaching the Foundation Building stage to the peak of the early Foundation Building stage.
However, Wang Lin wasn’t satisfied. He pondered for a moment and took out a pill furnace. The pill furnace looked perfectly normal. The only difference was that there was a yellow paper seal on it.
This pill furnace was the one Wang Lin got from Yun Fei, which he tried to use to make someone release his restrictions. However, everything he did was discovered by the demon who followed him, which ended in his death.
This pill furnace naturally fell into Wang Lin’s hands.
He had tried analyzing it before, but he didn’t have much time. He was currently running out of pills. He had to go back outside to refine more, so the only thing left for him to deal with in the bead room was this pill furnace.
As Wang Lin stared at the pill furnace, his eyes trembled slightly. Wang Lin knew this pill furnace was not normal. Just the words on the seal alone made his skin crawl.
Wang Lin pondered for a moment. He picked up the pill furnace and shook it. A muffled sound came from within. There was clearly something inside.
Based on the sound, there’s only one object inside. If it were placed inside a pill furnace, it would most likely be a pill.
Why would someone put yellow paper in a pill furnace? Besides, what was the purpose of this yellow paper? He hadn’t opened the pill furnace because he didn’t know what the yellow paper was for. If the paper was a restriction and he opened it by force, it could lead to a series of uncontrollable events.
After a moment of contemplation, he waved his hand, and a wisp of spiritual energy appeared on his finger. He sighed and snapped his fingers. The wisp of spiritual energy quickly landed on the paper.
At that moment, a strange scene unfolded before him. As the spiritual energy shard approached the yellow paper, it suddenly accelerated and disappeared without a trace into the yellow paper.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. He placed the pill furnace on the ground. His hands formed numerous seals and he shouted, “Scatter!”
Suddenly, countless specks of light floated around his body, forming shards of spiritual energy that began to approach the pill furnace. However, before they could get too close, all the spiritual energy suddenly accelerated and disappeared into the yellow paper.
Wang Lin frowned. This yellow paper was truly strange, as if it were made to absorb spiritual energy.
He suddenly remembered something and gently pressed his finger against the pill furnace. When he touched the yellow paper, nothing unusual happened. He gently tried to tear it off, but suddenly, an unimaginable suction force appeared from the paper. Wang Lin’s spiritual energy began to be sucked away uncontrollably.
Luckily, Wang Lin was alert. As soon as he felt the suction, he withdrew his hand.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Lin decided not to try anything else. He carefully picked up the pill furnace and put it back into his storage bag. This furnace was truly strange. When he first obtained the pill furnace, he couldn’t put it into his storage bag, but after he created his avatar, he could.
All the strangeness of this pill furnace made Wang Lin very confused.
After storing the pill furnace, Wang Lin stood up and left the heaven-defying bead space.
As soon as he emerged into the courtyard, he noticed something strange. He could smell the faint scent of blood. After looking around, his gaze fell on the main gate. The smell of blood was coming from there.
Wang Lin looked calm as he walked slowly. At the gate, he saw the corpse of a spirit monkey.
The spirit monkey’s eyes were wide open and gray. There were numerous wounds on its body, including a bowl-sized hole in its stomach. No more blood dripped from its body, only the faint scent of blood lingered in the air.
Wang Lin crouched down and touched his right leg. He discovered that all the bones in his right leg were shattered. Clearly, this was the spirit monkey that had come a few days ago to deliver the Foundation Building Pill recipe.
Wang Lin’s eyes lit up. The wound on the spirit monkey’s stomach had been torn open by someone’s hand. Clearly, their goal was to obtain the spirit monkey’s core.
Wang Lin had also experienced something similar. He pondered for a moment and finally came to a clear answer.
He didn’t know if Cheng Xian himself had anything to do with this. Over the past half year, Cheng Xian had been very enthusiastic and seemed to have a very deep connection with the spirit monkey. When the spirit monkey came to deliver the prescription instead of Cheng Xian, Wang Lin already suspected something was up.
If nothing else, just because of the fact that he was the one who gave him the Foundation Building Pill recipe, Wang Lin couldn’t just ignore him.
He sighed silently. Without another glance at the spirit monkey, he walked back to his room. This time, he didn’t drink any spirit liquid and took out a restriction circle.
The boundary circle landed on the ground and rippled. Slowly, a white-haired young man emerged, and as he appeared, he emitted a blast of cold air.
