Chapter 528: Demonic Power Crystal

After finishing the Jade Slips, Wang Lin swept out his Divine Sense, covering the entire Mountain Valley. Every native resident here was exposed under his Divine Sense. Upon checking them one by one, he found that the Aptitude of the people here was actually quite good, far surpassing his own back then.

While feeling emotional, Wang Lin was also slightly pleased. Since these people had good Aptitude, it meant they could Cultivate. Although there was no Spiritual Energy here, Demonic Power existed. If these people used Demonic Power to Cultivate the Soul Banner Technique, they might achieve unexpected results.

With this thought in mind, Wang Lin's Divine Sense located Ouyang Hua, who was currently planning an attack on other Mountain Valleys and Settlements.

After transmitting a message to his ear via Sound Transmission, Wang Lin retracted his Divine Sense.

Before long, Ouyang Hua rushed over from a distance, looking respectful and hurried. He had been deep in thought when Wang Lin's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, shaking him internally, so he quickly came over.

Wang Lin tossed his right hand, and two Jade Slips floated toward Ouyang Hua.

Ouyang Hua was stunned. He carefully examined the Jade Slips, and his Face immediately showed excitement. He asked, "High Immortal, are these… are these Demon Slips?"

"Demon Slips… close enough!" Wang Lin pondered slightly, recalling the records of his ancestor he had seen in Luo Yun's memory. In the Demon Spirit Land, the term Demon Slip existed!

Ouyang Hua held the Jade Slips, took a deep breath, and looked at them for a long time. Finally, his old Face flushed slightly, and he whispered, "High Immortal, this Old Man only knows that this object is for recording, but I don't know how to view it…"

"Place it on your brow, focus your mind, and imagine you are viewing this Jade Slip. If your mind is firm, you will naturally be able to see it. If not, try a few more times!" After Wang Lin finished speaking, he closed his eyes.

Ouyang Hua took a deep breath, sat Cross-legged on the ground, placed the Jade Slip on his brow, and focused his mind on imagining. But after a short while, he looked distressed. No matter how hard he imagined, he couldn't sense anything.

Although Wang Lin had closed his eyes, he was constantly observing Ouyang Hua.

The reason this person was the Elder of this Mountain Valley was that when he was young, he had gone to Ancient Demon City for Enlightenment and was found to possess the Power of One Star. Although he couldn't settle in Ancient Demon City, his status greatly increased upon returning to this Mountain Valley.

Within Ouyang Hua's body, Wang Lin clearly saw a thread-like Qi slowly flowing within his Dantian. However, too many Meridians in this person's body were blocked. Not only was the flow of this Qi slow, but its range of movement was also restricted.

Despite this, this Qi could be slightly catalyzed by the Formation of the Mountain Valley. This was how this person was able to control the Formation, and by borrowing the power of the Formation, he could even manifest an Illusory Body.

One hour later, Ouyang Hua had no choice but to give up. He sighed inwardly, his Face bitter, and he shook his head silently.

Wang Lin opened his eyes, a glint flashing within them. With a wave of his right hand, Ouyang Hua cried out in surprise as his body involuntarily flew forward. Wang Lin pressed his left index and middle fingers together and suddenly pointed them at the person's lower abdomen.

With that touch, Ouyang Hua immediately grunted, and a sharp pain instantly shook his lower abdomen. Large beads of sweat seeped from his forehead and dropped onto the ground.

Despite the pain, he clenched his jaw. Ouyang Hua knew that if Wang Lin wanted to harm him, he wouldn't go through so much trouble. There was a high chance the other party was preparing to help him now.

Given his age, he would originally have lingered around One Star for the rest of his life, and improvement was absolutely impossible. But now, he couldn't help but feel excited, because his intuition told him that if he seized this opportunity today, then Breakthrough would no longer be an eternal dream in this life!

Wang Lin's left index and middle fingers pressed against Ouyang Hua's lower abdomen and slowly moved upward. For every half inch they moved, the pain Ouyang Hua endured doubled. The sweat beads on his forehead poured down like rain, and his entire body was trembling violently at this moment. His complexion was pale and bloodless.

Wang Lin's expression remained calm. After raising his right hand three inches, he glanced at Ouyang Hua and said plainly, "Endure it!"

After speaking, he suddenly lifted his right hand, raising it abruptly from the three-inch point and instantly tapping the center of the man's brow.

A miserable groan that echoed throughout the entire Mountain Valley immediately reverberated.

Ouyang Hua rolled his eyes and collapsed directly onto the ground, unmoving.

Wang Lin did not look at him but continued to sit Cross-legged in Meditation. All the native residents in the Mountain Valley heard Ouyang Hua's miserable groan, but no one dared to take half a step into the depths of the valley. The Clan Rules were like a sword hanging over their heads; no one dared to violate them!

Several hours later, Ouyang Hua slowly opened his eyes. The moment he opened them, his entire being was completely stunned. In his eyes, the world seemed to have suddenly become different. The flowers were still the same flowers, the grass was still the same grass, and even the surrounding walls were unchanged, but in his perception, everything was instantly different.

A new sense of realization surged within Ouyang Hua's heart. He couldn't help but shed two lines of old tears. Without even checking, he knew that he had reached the Two Star Level, where he could perceive the minute details. He immediately knelt before Wang Lin and respectfully, sincerely, and wholeheartedly kowtowed three times.

"Thank you, High Immortal!!"

Although his words were few, they contained an excitement and spiritual shock that thousands of words could not match.

"Try to see what is inside the Demon Slip!" Wang Lin nodded and said.

Ouyang Hua quickly picked up the Jade Slip, placed it on his brow, and concentrated his mind. Instantly, the Incantation within the Jade Slip was branded directly into his memory like a searing mark.

Ouyang Hua's body trembled. He took a deep breath to suppress his inner excitement and said in a deep voice, "Junior has seen it." Unconsciously, he had changed the way he referred to himself.

Wang Lin nodded slightly. His previous two-finger technique had forcibly opened a Meridian for Ouyang Hua. This method was too overbearing and would have many side effects, but it was the fastest path to increasing cultivation!

"This Incantation is called Soul Refining. Listen carefully, I will only explain it to you once. After you learn it, you must teach it to the residents here!" Wang Lin looked at Ouyang Hua and said slowly.

Ouyang Hua's excitement today could be described as rising and falling, with each wave higher than the last.

The increase in his cultivation had already made him extremely excited. After viewing the Incantation inside the Jade Slip, his heart couldn't help but pound. He had a vague guess in his mind, but he dared not believe it was true. After all, in the Demon Spirit Land, all Cultivation Techniques were extremely precious items, and ordinary people could never obtain them in this lifetime.

"High Immortal, are you… are you planning to impart this Cultivation Technique to me?" Ouyang Hua took a deep breath and asked in disbelief.

Wang Lin's expression was normal. He nodded and said, "Not just you, but these residents here must also be taught."

Ouyang Hua's body trembled. He bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice, "Ouyang Hua will never forget the High Immortal's grace in this life!" This voice came from the bottom of his heart, sincere and earnest.

One must know that in the Demon Spirit Land, Cultivation Techniques were held by a small minority and were by no means ordinary items. People like Ouyang Hua would absolutely never have the opportunity to learn a Cultivation Technique in this life, let alone the residents of the Mountain Valley.

Wang Lin then pointed out the key points to note when Cultivating the Soul Refining Technique. Ouyang Hua listened attentively like a schoolboy, memorizing them by heart. His gratitude towards Wang Lin deepened further.

After Wang Lin finished speaking, Ouyang Hua performed the Disciple's Salute, bowed, and withdrew.

Seeing Ouyang Hua's appearance, Wang Lin was momentarily stunned, but then accepted it calmly. Since he taught this person a Cultivation Technique, it was appropriate for the person to perform this salute.

Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, three months flew by.

Ouyang Hua was extremely diligent, spending almost all his time practicing the Soul Refining Technique. Even the matter of attacking other Clans was forcibly suppressed by him, as he focused on researching this technique.

His Innate Talent was already decent, and the Divine Ability of the Soul Refining Sect was the type that was easy to start but difficult to master. As such, Ouyang Hua had achieved some success within three months.

Not only him, but all the Men in the Clan also Cultivated under Ouyang Hua's guidance, with varying levels of achievement.

During these three months, Wang Lin spent the entire day sitting in Meditation and Breathing Exercise, wholeheartedly studying the Demon Crystal. Under his research, the two Demon Crystals fused into one!

This Demon Crystal contained majestic Demonic Power. On its surface, numerous smoke-like tentacles appeared in a scattered fashion, drifting eerily.

"Triple-Grade Demon Crystal…" Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He opened his mouth and swallowed the Demon Crystal. Once the crystal entered his body, it immediately appeared near his Dantian. Waves of Demonic Power spread from it, circulating along the Meridians outside Wang Lin's Dantian.

After it circulated for One Major Cycle, Wang Lin's entire aura immediately changed. At this moment, he no longer had the ethereal feeling of an Immortal. Instead, his body was filled with rampant Demonic Qi, becoming strange and unpredictable. Even his Face became demonic, especially his eyes, which made anyone who looked at them feel a heart-palpitating dread.

These were a pair of eyes that were demonic to the extreme! The vertical oval pupils caused almost all observers to feel a shock to their minds.

Wang Lin raised his right hand, gently clenched his fist, and furrowed his brow.

"My entire body is filled with Demonic Power, but unfortunately, the quantity of this Demonic Power is insufficient. Even when fully circulated, it can only reach the level equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator…"

With a shift of his thought, the Demonic Power in his internal Meridians immediately retracted, shrinking completely back into the Demon Crystal, not revealing a single trace.

As the Demonic Power withdrew, Immortal Power naturally flowed through his Meridians. Wang Lin's entire aura immediately changed from demonic to that of an extraordinary Immortal with Daoist Bones.

"This Demonic Power is quite interesting!" Wang Lin's eyes flickered.

During these three months, he left this place three times. Each time, he lectured for all the people in the Mountain Valley who were Cultivating the Soul Refining Technique.

Almost everyone in the Mountain Valley knew that this technique came from Wang Lin, and that Wang Lin had given them the opportunity to Cultivate a Cultivation Technique. The fear and misunderstanding they previously held toward Wang Lin were virtually swept away, replaced by endless gratitude and respect.

These three times, almost every time Wang Lin walked out, any resident who saw him would put down their work and respectfully greet Wang Lin.

Among those who were Cultivating the Soul Refining Technique, besides Ouyang Hua, whose progress was extremely fast, there was one other person who caught Wang Lin's attention.

This person was the Young Man whom Wang Lin had secretly followed earlier, leading him to discover this Mountain Valley!

This Young Man found Cultivating the Soul Refining Technique extremely easy. In just three months, he had actually Cultivated this technique to the third stage, which was the stage of preparing to craft his own Soul Banner.
