3 -3: Mysterious Map
Coming out of the Elder Pavilion, Lin Bai, knew well that unless the elders of the Lin Family loosen their lips, the cultivation resources left for him by Lin Duo would not be taken back.
After all, in Lin Bai’s heart, his martial arts cultivation was still not enough to contend with the Lin Family’s Elder Pavilion.
“A bunch of bastards!
When my father was around, they didn’t dare to make a peep, and now they dare to seize the cultivation resources left to me by my father!”
Lin Bai returned home, venting his towering anger.
“Lin Bai.”
At that moment, an aged voice came from outside the door.
Lin Bai turned to look and saw a stooped old man, whose face was full of vicissitudes, and was smiling as he entered the room.
Lin Bai looked up and said, “Third Uncle, why are you here?”
The old man who came in was Lin Bai’s third uncle, Lin Yue, who had been very close to Lin Bai’s father since childhood.
However, many years ago, when Third Uncle went out with Lin Duo, his Dantian was suddenly destroyed by someone, and he stayed in the Lin Family ever since and never went out again.
Lin Yue walked in, smiling, “I heard that your awakened Martial Soul is not so good, so I came to check on you in case you do something stupid.”
“Thank you, Third Uncle.
You’re not well, yet you made the effort to come to see me.” Lin Bai shook his head, grimacing.
Lin Yue laughed, “Haha, your father and I are after all, brothers in life and death.
Now that he is not in the Lin Family, if I don’t look after you, who will?”
“Lin Bai, though your Martial Soul is not so good, don’t lose heart.
Didn’t Brother Lin Duo leave you with a fortune of cultivation resources?
You should go collect them, speed up your cultivation, and I believe with your talent, even with a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul, you could achieve great success.”
Lin Yue was cheering on Lin Bai.
Hearing this about the cultivation resources, Lin Bai became angry and said, “That’s what I’m angry about.
I just went to the Elder Pavilion, wanting to retrieve the cultivation resources left by my father, but the Elder Pavilion and the gang of dregs, Lin Zi’er, seeing my poor Martial Soul, refused to give them to me.”
Lin Yue was surprised, “They dared to swallow Brother Lin Duo’s stuff, are they not afraid that Brother Lin Duo will come back and raise hell?”
Lin Bai said coldly, “They see Lin Zi’er as having higher talent than my father, and they’re sucking up to her!”
“Ah, is that so?” Lin Yue’s face also became somewhat anxious, “They’re really going too far.
Then Lin Bai, what are you planning to do?”
Lin Bai said, “They thought that because my Martial Soul is low and I haven’t received the cultivation resources, I would contentedly remain an ordinary person.
Just you wait, I’ve decided to go to the Qingling Mountains to hunt demon beasts and exchange for cultivation resources.”
“Lin Bai, you’re going to Qingling Mountains?
That’s a paradise for demon beasts, you must be very careful.” Lin Yue reminded him worriedly.
Lin Bai said, “Although Qingling Mountains are dangerous, they are the best training ground for me!”
As the Devouring Sword Spirit can be cultivated by devouring the divine blood of demon beasts, the Qingling Mountains are an excellent choice for Lin Bai’s cultivation ground!
Lin Yue’s murky eyes turned a little, and he took out a sheepskin map from his bosom and handed it to Lin Bai, saying, “Lin Bai, you take this, it will be useful in Qingling Mountains.”
“What is this?” Lin Bai took it and asked curiously.
Lin Yue laughed, “When I was not ruined, I had been to Qingling Mountains and discovered a tree of Pregnant Spirit Fruits, but unfortunately they were not mature yet.”
“So, I drew the route down, waiting to pick them when they mature.”
“Who would have thought, before waiting for the Pregnant Spirit Fruits to mature, I was ruined by someone.”
Lin Yue said with a bitter smile.
“Pregnant Spirit Fruits!” On hearing this name, Lin Bai’s eyes widened with surprise.
Pregnant Spirit Fruits are used to refine second-grade Elixir Pills, a superior spiritual medicine in terms of cultivation resources!
Flowering for thirty years, fruiting for thirty years, maturing for thirty years.
Of course, these Pregnant Spirit Fruits were incredibly necessary for Lin Bai at the moment.
Lin Bai said, “Third Uncle, this is too precious.”
Lin Yue laughed, “Take it, I don’t have any children, and now I’m a ruined man.
This map is useless to me.
Take it, cultivate well, and don’t disgrace your father.”
“And this secret technique book, I’ll give it to you.
It’s called the Dragon Emperor’s Divine Dragon Arm.
It’s quite powerful.
If you successfully cultivate it, you can have great strength in a short time!”
“To cultivate the Dragon Emperor’s Divine Dragon Arm, you need a lot of demon blood.
Since you are going to the Qingling Mountains to hunt demon beasts and gain experience, you might as well cultivate diligently in this martial technique.”
The Dragon Emperor’s Divine Dragon Arm, even the name sounds pretty impressive.
“Thank you, Third Uncle.” Taking the secret technique and the map, Lin Bai thanked him from the heart.
“Third Uncle, you never told me, who ruined you?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Yue’s eyes became .
He laughed, “You little brat, why do you ask these things?
What you need to do now is to cultivate well.
Go on.”
“Alright, I’m going to the Weapon Pavilion and Martial Arts Pavilion to get a weapon and select a martial technique.
Then I’ll go to the Qingling Mountains.” Lin Bai said firmly, “In two months, I’ll make all those who look down on me regret their words!”
After seeing his third uncle home, Lin Bai headed straight to the Weapon Pavilion.
Upon arriving at the Weapon Pavilion,
“Lin Bai, it’s not that I don’t want to give you a weapon.
I can’t resist Lintai Heng.
He and Lin Zi’er have both sent people to put pressure on me.
I don’t dare to give you a weapon now.” The elder of the Weapon Pavilion sighed helplessly.
The elder of the Weapon Pavilion could see that Elder Lintai Heng and Lin Zi’er were intent on pushing Lin Bai into an irreparable abyss!
“Lin Bai, don’t blame us.
Just now, Elder Lintai Heng and Lin Zi’er sent people to convey their words.
We really don’t dare to let you go in and pick a martial technique!” The elder of the Martial Arts Pavilion, like the elder of the Weapon Pavilion, said something that derailed Lin Bai.
“Lintai Heng!
Lin Zi’er!
You think you can defeat me like this?
You’re too naive!”
“What if I don’t have a weapon?
So what if I don’t have a martial technique, I still have a pair of fists!”
Lin Bai, with a slight cold smile, walked out the main gate of the Lin Family.
Lin Bai was clear.
Lin Zi’er and Lintai Heng wanted to completely erase Lin Bai right from the beginning.
“Oh, isn’t this the famous genius young master of our Lin Family, Lin Bai?
Why are you in such a mess after coming out of the Martial Arts Pavilion and the Weapon Pavilion?”
Just as Lin Bai was about to leave the Lin Family, an elegant young man stepped in his way.
The person was a disciple of the Lin family, named Lin Xuanqing.
He and Lin Bai awakened their Martial Souls three days ago.
He had a Yellow Level Seventh Rank martial soul, which was only second to Lin Xuan and Lin Zi’er’s talent in the Lin Family.
Lin Xuanqing, holding his treasure sword, prodded provocatively, “See this?
I just got this grade one spiritual tool from the Weapon Pavilion.
It’s called the Soul-Slaying Sword.
I also got a Yellow Level Ninth Grade Martial Arts from the Martial Arts Pavilion, called the Qixue Sword Skill!”
“Are you envious?”
Lin Xuanqing encountered Lin Bai at the Weapon Pavilion and followed him all the way just to show off mercilessly in front of Lin Bai when he was down.
When Lin Bai was still the top prodigy of the Lin Family, Lin Xuanqing was green with envy.
Now that the prodigy had fallen, Lin Xuanqing naturally wanted to assert his presence!
Spiritual Tools are ranked from one to nine.
It is said that above spiritual tools, there are earth-shattering magical treasures, which Lin Bai had never seen.
Martial Skills were divided into several ranks: Yellow, Xuan, Earth, Heaven, and Emperor.
Each rank was further divided into nine grades.
“Out of my way, a good dog won’t stand in the way!” Lin Bai roared with a murderous expression on his face.
Lin Xuanqing’s brow furrowed, then he shouted angrily, “Hmm?
You, a piece of trash, dare to talk to me like this.
It seems I need to teach you a lesson.”
“Take this!”
Having said that, Lin Xuanqing lunged at Lin Bai with his sword!
After Lin Xuanqing awakened his Martial Soul, he had not yet practiced and was only at the first level of the Martial Arts.
But at this moment, Lin Bai had already reached the Third Level of Martial Arts!
Seeing Xuanqing’s fiercely thrust sword, Lin Bai smirked, “Since you’re offering your weapon, I’ll gladly take it!”
Lin Bai stepped forward, channeling his mighty power into his wrist.
He grabbed Lin Xuanqing’s Soul-Slaying Sword and harshly yanked it, stealing it for himself.
Seeing his spiritual tool stolen, Lin Xuanqing was furious, “Lin Bai, I warn you, immediately return my spiritual tool.
Otherwise, you will suffer.
Don’t forget, my elder brother is Lin Xuan!”
“Lin Xuan?
You are Lin Xuan’s brother?
Just brilliant.
I will collect a little interest from you first!” Hearing that Lin Xuanqing was Lin Xuan’s brother, Lin Bai was consumed by rage.
Take this!
A palm aimed straight at Lin Xuanqing’s face, knocking him to the ground.
Buzzing!
Right at that moment, a set of obscure encantations emerged in Lin Bai’s mind.
“Martial Soul Talent!
Soul Searching!”
“Using this technique, press on the crown of the martial artist, and you can scan all the memories in his mind!”
“Be aware, the one being soul searched will have severe consequences, the serious ones may die immediately, while the lighter ones may become imbeciles!”
Lin Bai was startled, “I’ve awakened Martial Soul Talent so quickly?
And it’s not a sword technique, how strange.”
Generally speaking, awakening Martial Soul Talent, without having a real master showering one with wisdom or having heaven-defying good luck, is generally hard beyond reaching the heavens.
Similarly, the higher the grade of the Martial Soul, the faster the talent would be awakened, and the stronger the talent’s power would be!
Lin Xuanqing, beaten by Lin Bai till he was bleeding from his mouth and nose, roared angrily, “Lin Bai, you dared to hit me, you wait, I’m going to tell my elder brother right now.
When he comes, I’ll flay you alive!”
“You want to skin me?” Lin Bai responded maliciously.
Lin Xuanqing retorted angrily, “Yes, I want to skin you.
Even if you beg right now, I won’t change my mind.
You just wait to die.”
“You seem to have forgotten, your life is now in my hands, and you’re still blustering?
Fine, you said you got a Yellow Level Ninth Grade martial art, I’ll gladly take it.”
Lin Bai grinned, “Great, time to test out my Martial Soul Talent!”
Lin Bai approached and stood in front of Lin Xuanqing, placing his right hand on his crown.
“What are you doing?”
Lin Xuanqing’s pupils widened in fear.
“Soul Searching!”
Whoosh——
Lin Bai activated the incantation and started the Soul Searching.
In an instant, all the memories in Lin Xuanqing’s mind played before Lin ike a fast-forwarded movie.
In just a quarter of an hour, Lin Bai managed to scan through all the memories of Lin Xuanqing’s entire life, crystal clear!
This included his acquiring of the Yellow Level Ninth Grade Martial Art!
Qixue Sword Skill!
After the Soul Searching was over, Lin Xuanqing, foaming at the mouth, collapsed convulsing on the ground.
Within minutes, his breath was gone.
“You brought this upon yourself.
If you hadn’t provoked me and tried to kill me, why would I have killed you?” Lin Bai said calmly.
“Now that I have the weapon and martial arts, I should head towards the Qingling Mountain Range.”
“Lin Taiheng, Lin Zi’er, wait for me, once I return, I will turn this world upside down!”
Lin Bai, carrying the Soul-Slaying Sword, left Lingxi City overnight and headed straight for the Qingling Mountain Range located 10,000 miles away.
Lin Bai’s reason for going to the Qingling Mountain Range was mainly to hunt Demon Beasts and to find Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire.
