Chapter 47: The Beginning

"I still have some Medicinal Pills here used by Core Formation Stage Cultivators to enhance their cultivation.

I'll give them all to you as well. As for the other things…"

Duanmu Ji wore a cold expression, suppressing the displeasure in his heart as he spoke to Wang Lin,

"I have an Earth-Transforming Pill here. You must have heard of the preciousness of this pill.

With your cultivation as someone who has just entered the Core Formation Stage, as long as you consume it, there is an extremely high probability that you can advance to the Middle Stage of the Core Formation Stage.

Even if you keep it and consume it when you reach the Core Formation Middle Stage, there is still a considerable probability that you can Breakthrough to the Core Formation Late Stage.

However, I have one condition. After entering those ancient ruins, everything must be done according to my demands!"

Duanmu Ji thought of the nascent transformation pill existing within the Ancient God Ruins; only by relying on this Death Curse Technique would there be a sliver of a chance to obtain it.

Thus, he gritted his teeth and took out an Earth-Transforming Pill to tempt Wang Lin.

However, he had already made up his mind deep down.

As long as the third barrier of the Ancient God Land was passed, he would immediately make a move to kill this Junior.

Let him have the life to take this Earth-Transforming Pill, but not the life to consume it!

Wang Lin stared at Duanmu Ji, a trace of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth as he said,

"One Earth-Transforming Pill is not enough!"

Hearing this, Duanmu Ji felt a surge of anger in his heart, and just as he wanted to say something,

suddenly Sun Xuan from the side spoke up,

"Little Friend, I still have a thunder technique here.

Its power is immense. If practiced to a profound realm, using Core Formation cultivation to resist a Nascent Soul is not an impossible matter.

I will gift this thunder technique to Little Friend.

As long as you enter those ancient ruins and sincerely work for me, Little Friend,

I will have other benefits to gift you at that time!"

Especially the word 'sincerely' among them; Sun Xuan deepened his tone even further.

This caused Duanmu Ji, who wanted to blow his top nearby, to change his expression repeatedly.

Seeing this, Sun Xuan spoke while burning the cultivation method of the Blazing Sun True Thunder into a blank Jade Slip.

Then he casually tossed it, along with the golden shield and dozens of bottles of Medicinal Pills, toward Wang Lin.

The Ancient God Ruins were abnormally perilous, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Sun Xuan also wanted to give Wang Lin a few things capable of saving his life.

Wang Lin caught the few items thrown by Sun Xuan, a trace of imperceptible emotion flashing through his eyes.

After flipping his hand to put them into his Storage Pouch, Wang Lin respectfully bowed deeply toward Sun Xuan and said,

"Senior, rest assured. As long as Junior does not die, I will definitely strive to find the nascent transformation pill for Senior!"

Hearing Wang Lin's reply, Duanmu Ji's expression instantly became even uglier.

Especially the three words 'nascent transformation pill' were like a heavy hammer, fiercely striking into Duanmu Ji's mind and soul.

Seeing this, Duanmu Ji braced himself and squeezed out an ugly smile.

Then he opened his mouth to say to Wang Lin,

"In that case, I will gift Little Friend two more Earth-Transforming Pills, plus one Nascent-Establishing Pill.

I ask for nothing else; as long as Little Friend sincerely helps me get through a difficult hurdle within those ancient ruins, then I will be satisfied!"

As Duanmu Ji spoke, he seemingly generously tossed four jade bottles to Wang Lin.

In reality, his heart was already filled with extreme hatred.

If he weren't afraid that the other party harbored resentment, would trip him up during the third barrier, or even perish together,

he would have long since placed a residual poison Restriction within the other party's body to control them.

Seeing that it was time to stop while ahead, Wang Lin put away the four bottles of Medicinal Pills.

Then he cupped his fists toward Duanmu Ji and said,

"Senior, rest assured. Since Junior has accepted Senior's things, I will definitely resolve troubles and difficulties for Senior!"

Hearing this, Duanmu Ji's heart finally felt a bit more comfortable.

Then, with a stiff smile on the corner of his mouth, he spoke,

"That's good, that's good!"

Seeing that the matter had been settled, and that Duanmu Ji had bled quite a bit under the squeeze of him and his disciple, Sun Xuan felt satisfied in his heart and spoke,

"There is less than four years left until those ancient ruins open.

Within these four years, this little friend shall first follow me back to the Shimo Sect to Cultivate!

Once the four years are up, we will set off toward those ancient ruins.

Fellow Daoist Duanmu, what do you think?"

Duanmu Ji twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing an ugly smile.

Although he wanted Wang Lin to follow him to Qimei City so he could keep him by his side and watch over him to feel at ease,

the current situation was stronger than the person.

Firstly, he temporarily didn't want to make a move against Sun Xuan; after all, Sun Xuan's strength was not weak, and he did not have absolute certainty of victory.

Secondly, Sun Xuan gave Wang Lin even more things. Reasonably and emotionally, letting Wang Lin follow by Sun Xuan's side was not an excessive request at all.

With no other choice, Duanmu Ji had no choice but to nod and agree.

…

Immortal Cultivation has no years; time flows like water.

Four years passed in the blink of an eye.

Following by Sun Xuan's side, Wang Lin could be considered to have spent a rare few peaceful years.

Under Sun Xuan's meticulous guidance, coupled with Wang Lin's astonishing Comprehension Ability,

at this time Wang Lin was already able to skillfully wield the Blazing Sun True Thunder.

His cultivation also reached the Core Formation Middle Stage after refining one Earth-Transforming Pill.

Compared to before, his strength also had a not-insignificant enhancement.

As for the cultivation returned when Wang Lin's cultivation advanced to the Core Formation Middle Stage, Sun Xuan did not immediately use it.

Instead, he prepared to keep it in his hands first, waiting until after arriving at the Ancient God Ruins for any unexpected needs.

Right at this moment, Ning Moyuan arrived before Sun Xuan, kneeling prostrate on the ground as he respectfully said to Sun Xuan,

"Sect Master, Demonic Lord Baji and Demonic Lord Qingyue have already arrived outside the Sect.

They said the time has arrived and specifically came to invite Sect Master to go together."

Hearing this, a flash of sharp light crossed Sun Xuan's eyes, and then he spoke softly,

"I know. This time I have important matters to go out.

All matters within the Shimo Sect shall be temporarily managed on my behalf by you.

During the time I am absent, act low-profile in everything, and do not randomly provoke trouble."

Hearing this, Ning Moyuan immediately replied,

"As Sect Master commands!"

Sun Xuan nodded, waved his hand toward Ning Moyuan, and then spoke,

"Withdraw!"

The Shimo Sect was considered an idle move played by Sun Xuan, and also considered a foothold for Sun Xuan in the Xiumo Sea.

During the period of time he left, Sun Xuan still did not want to see anything happen to it.

After arranging the matters of the Shimo Sect, Sun Xuan called for Wang Lin and headed toward where Duanmu Ji and Wang Qingyue were located.

"Duanmu Ji, is this Core Formation Stage Junior the person you mentioned who practices the Death Curse Technique?"

A middle-aged scholar beside Duanmu Ji had a cold and gloomy flash appearing in his eyes from time to time.

At a glance, he was not someone easy to deal with.

At this moment, he was seen staring at Wang Lin beside Sun Xuan, speaking in a peculiar tone.

Following closely, he shook his head and sighed, saying,

"It's a pity your strength is too low. If your cultivation reached the Nascent Soul Stage, I, Wang, would definitely request some pointers."

Hearing this, Wang Lin remained silent.

The appearance of yet another Soul Transformation old fiend at this moment made Wang Lin's heart even more cautious.

"This Fellow Daoist is quite unfamiliar. I wonder which Sect you learned from and what your esteemed name is?"

In the blink of an eye, Wang Qingyue's gaze locked back onto Sun Xuan.

Duanmu Ji on the side did not explain either, standing to the side with the appearance of watching a show.

"This poor Daoist is Tongxuanzi, with no famous Sect. I have made Fellow Daoist laugh!"

Drooping his eyelids and without lifting his head, Sun Xuan replied.
