Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 257 Scumbag

Zhong Lin still refused Ouyang Daoyong’s proposal to become the Deputy Sect Master of the Purple Cloud Sect. To him, the Purple Cloud Sect was just a stepping stone, and he wouldn’t stay here for long; naturally, he didn’t want to add another layer of restraint to himself.

Besides, even if he didn’t become the Deputy Sect Master, what difference would it make with his current prestige?

After the battle formation ended, the various forces returned to their respective places. The Feng Lan Sword Lord in the void also transformed into a stream of light and disappeared.

Divine light flowed in Zhong Lin’s eyes as he witnessed the might of the half-step Xuandan Realm power. Now, he longed even more for a higher realm in Martial Arts.

"It seems that I need to retreat and cultivate earnestly after going back, reach the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm as soon as possible, and then condense the Spirit Embryo," Zhong Lin thought to himself.

Zhong Lin and Ouyang Daoyong’s return plunged the entire Purple Cloud Sect into a state of joy.

The feat of Zhong Lin, with his Spirit Sea Realm cultivation, killing a Spirit Embryo Realm Sea Ape spread throughout the Purple Cloud Sect, elevating his already formidable prestige to a new level.

"Master."

In the Fire Cloud Palace, Tang Xueyuan clung to Zhong Lin like an ornament, her almond eyes nearly tearing with admiration, wanting desperately to swallow Zhong Lin whole.

Zhong Lin patted her soft, rounded cheeks and laughed, "Stop acting coquettish, get down here."

"I won’t! Master, you are so amazing, to kill a Spirit Embryo Realm with Spirit Sea Realm strength; this means even the Sect Master is not your match."

Tang Xueyuan tightly hugged Zhong Lin’s arm, wishing to merge it with her body. Heaven knows how shocked and ecstatic she was upon hearing the news, not to mention her relief for clinging onto this golden thigh back then. Otherwise, she’d still be renting a place, diving for pearls, being a humble Pearl Gatherer.

Now, she drinks Spiritual Tea and swallows Spiritual Medicine daily. Those once lofty Martial Arts experts can only curry favor with her, flatter her.

All of this was due to the man in front of her.

The fact that this man could slay formidable enemies across realms suggested that it wouldn’t be long before his status and power would rise within Purple Cloud City and even the Luoxing Islands.

Tonight, I must serve Master well. I’ll call Hong’er and Lan’er to let Master experience true bliss so that he can’t leave me.

Wasn’t Master curious about the back? Perhaps we can try it tonight...

"Disciple greets Elder Zhong."

A sweet voice suddenly came from outside the door. Zhong Lin felt nothing, but for Tang Xueyuan, it was like facing a great enemy.

Zhong Lin turned his head to glance outside and said with a smile, "Fairy Mu is here, please come in."

The visitor was none other than Ouyang Daoyong’s third disciple, Mu Qing, a woman Xu Youde both respected and feared.

"I don’t dare to accept the title of Fairy, Elder Zhong can call me Qing’er,"

Mu Qing’s voice was exceedingly gentle, making one’s heart tingle just by hearing it.

The moment Tang Xueyuan, who was holding Zhong Lin’s arm, felt a shock in her heart, she looked at Mu Qing full of enmity.

A woman’s intuition made her aware of an intruder, and this woman in front of her came with ill intentions, an enemy not a friend. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

With this thought, Tang Xueyuan held Zhong Lin’s arm even tighter, and her eyes were filled with alertness.

Mu Qing seemed ignorant of Tang Xueyuan’s hostility, chuckled lightly, and simply ignored her, even acting as if she wasn’t there.

A mere Innate Realm plaything, how could she compare to herself?

Mu Qing had naturally investigated Tang Xueyuan’s identity, and the more she investigated, the more disdainful she became. A mere Pearl Gatherer who only got close to Elder Zhong by relying on her first instinct, with nothing but an extra two taels of flesh on her chest compared to herself. In terms of cultivation, temperament, physique, or beauty, how could she compete with Mu Qing?

"Elder Zhong, this is a Golden Fish Pearl obtained by Qing’er during her sea training. It’s a treasure nurtured by the Treasure Fish over ten thousand years, effective in strengthening the body, enhancing Qi-Blood, and boosting bone structure. Knowing that Elder Zhong cultivates Martial Arts of the flesh, this pearl should assist in your cultivation, so I’ve brought it as a gift."

While speaking, Mu Qing took a Jade Box from her Storage Bracelet, opening it to reveal a golden pearl lying inside quietly.

The pearl was fist-sized, golden all over, emitting a soft golden light like it was crafted from gold. But upon closer inspection, one could see faint golden threads flowing within, like a golden fish swimming to and fro, exquisite beyond comparison.

Zhong Lin’s pupils slightly widened. Since arriving at the Luoxing Islands, he’d been collecting all kinds of books to broaden his knowledge, fearing that he might encounter a treasure one day without realizing it.

This "Golden Fish Pearl" in Mu Qing’s hand was something he knew well and had researched specially.

This treasure is born within the Gold-Line Dragon Fish from the deep sea, and only those with a lifespan of over ten thousand years can produce it.

Gold-Line Dragon Fish are rare, not to mention requiring a lifespan of ten thousand years, and these Treasure Fish only grow in the deep ocean.

With such stringent conditions coming together, the "Golden Fish Pearl" is exceedingly rare, incredibly difficult to come by, and its effects are astonishing.

Treasure Fish inherently have the ability to strengthen the body and increase Qi-Blood, with the Gold-Line Dragon Fish being the finest among them, and the Golden Fish Pearl from a ten-thousand-year-old Dragon Fish pushing its effects to the extreme.

Strengthening the body, enhancing Qi-Blood, boosting bone structure...

Zhong Lin focused on this treasure because its properties are greatly beneficial to cultivating the Dragon Elephant Golden Body.

At present, Zhong Lin had cultivated the Dragon Elephant Golden Body to the Fifth Layer, and if he could absorb the energy contained within this Golden Fish Pearl, there was even a possibility of directly achieving the Sixth Layer.

Zhong Lin didn’t refuse, his eyes directly meeting Mu Qing’s, his tone calm, "This pearl is indeed greatly useful for my cultivation. Tell me, what do you want? As long as I have it, I won’t refuse."

"This pearl is indeed precious, but how can it compare to Qing’er’s life? If not for Elder Zhong, Qing’er would have long perished. Having been saved by Elder Zhong, Qing’er wishes she could serve as a slave or servant day and night by your side. This is just a Golden Fish Pearl; how could it repay Elder Zhong’s kindness?"

As she spoke, tears like pearls flowed from Mu Qing’s enchanting eyes, truly like a pear blossom in the rain, making one’s heart ache with pity.

Tang Xueyuan, standing by the side, was gritting her teeth in rage. If looks could kill, Mu Qing would have been riddled with holes by her gaze.

All these ancient foxes, and you’re playing the fox spirit tale, who doesn’t know who?

The aura Mu Qing exuded instantly reminded Tang Xueyuan of a past enemy, someone who stole her beloved.

Looking back now, it felt like the person she once loved was nothing compared to Zhong Lin, almost like comparing trash. She didn’t know why she was blind back then.

But Mu Qing’s temperament was exactly like that past enemy’s, no wonder she disliked her at first sight, all despicable women.

Simultaneously, Tang Xueyuan was overwhelmed with a sense of crisis, realizing her greatest weakness.
