CHAPTER 142: CHAPTER 81: FIERCE BATTLE IN THE FOREST, CULTIVATION TECHNIQUE

An arrow narrowly grazed past the top of Lin Zheyu’s head, causing his movements to abruptly pause, and he uncharacteristically darted to the right.

After mastering the Golden Swan Skill to an exquisite level, his body technique had become even more agile.

"An elixir that can directly break through to the Qi Blood Realm, it must be quite valuable!"

The corners of Lin Zheyu’s mouth lifted slightly, feeling quite pleased.

He thought there might be no gains today, but unexpectedly, the bandit named Cao Wang didn’t consume the elixir in the shrine to break through.

Instead, he took the elixir outside and broke through outside the shrine.

Such a good opportunity, if Lin Zheyu didn’t seize it, he’d feel guilty about it.

"I wonder how much energy this Blood Elixir can provide, is it enough for me to enhance one unit of Source Power?"

Lin Zheyu thought to himself, contemplating for a moment before shaking his head: "Forget it; I’d better find a way to sell it. If the Blood Elixir is sold, it could probably fetch a good price."

Although he was really interested in trying out the potency of this elixir, after thinking it over, he decided to give it up.

An elixir with such powerful effects, if sold, would definitely fetch hundreds of taels of silver, which should be more worthwhile than using it himself.

Rushing out of Lion Valley, Lin Zheyu breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was pursuing him.

He poured out the Blood Elixir from the bottle, the elixir was completely blood-red, and a faint bloody scent mixed with a rich medicinal fragrance emanated from it.

It truly lived up to its name as a Blood Elixir.

Casually discarding the bottle, he took an empty jade bottle from his waist pouch, placed the Blood Elixir inside, and sealed it with a stopper.

He then placed the jade bottle into a leather poison pouch and tied it tightly.

To prevent any tracers left on the elixir, Lin Zheyu took multiple protective measures.

"Let’s go back first; in a few days the black market opens, and I’ll sell what I robbed and then boost my strength before returning." Lin Zheyu thought to himself.

For the next few days, he didn’t plan to keep targeting bandits for more gains.

He just snatched a Blood Elixir in Lion Valley; they might be looking for him everywhere, setting a trap waiting for him to walk into.

Beyond the Lion Valley’s borders, Lin Zheyu found a hidden spot and changed back into his daily attire.

After returning to his original outfit, he headed towards Songyi City.

The distance between Lion Valley and Songyi City was not short, and knowing that no one was trailing him, he didn’t hurry, keeping his speed at the Peak of the Bone Forging Realm.

Running full force through the forests could be very draining of Qi blood and also easily deplete Essence, Qi, and Spirit, affecting the accumulation of Source Power.

Swish—

After entering the dense forest outside Beast Roar Mountain, suddenly, a gust of wind appeared from behind.

Perceiving danger, Lin Zheyu swiftly shifted to the left.

A sharp gleam brushed past him, striking a tree ahead, blowing a hole through its trunk.

Boom—

With a light tap of his toes, he leaped onto a branch, a fist wind whistling past behind him, smashing a large tree into pieces.

Bang bang bang.

The sound of continuous bangs echoed, as Lin Zheyu relied on his body technique to dodge quickly.

It was at this moment he realized who was attacking him.

It turned out to be the guys in black and red robes whom he had seen in Lion Valley.

This person was very strong, reaching the level of Qi Blood First Transformation, with bulging muscles, continuously attacking Lin Zheyu.

"Who are you, and why resort to killing without reason?"

Lin Zheyu said coldly, relying on his lightweight skill to dodge quickly while vigilantly observing his surroundings.

There were a total of seventeen people in black and red robes, but he didn’t know how many had come.

"The one who just barged into Lion Valley, that was you, right?"

"You think replacing the elixir bottle can evade our tracking?" The man stopped, looking at Lin Zheyu with a cold smile.

"You’ve got the wrong person, what elixir, I don’t understand." Lin Zheyu played dumb.

His heart tightened slightly.

Despite all the caution he had taken, he hadn’t expected to still be discovered.

On the road, he had washed his body with water and used Deodorizing Powder to remove any possible tracking marks, yet he was still tracked down.

’Did they use some special method?’ Lin Zheyu wondered.

"So young, yet reaching the Qi Blood Realm, even in the Central Plains Region, such talent is remarkable, interested in joining the Nine Nether Sect?"

The man said lightly.

Though he wasn’t sure how Lin Zheyu hid his strength, through probing, he roughly gauged Lin Zheyu’s strength.

It should be at the level of Qi Blood Gauze.

"Hmm?!"

Lin Zheyu was taken aback.

He had been ready for a fight, but hadn’t expected this guy to switch topics, directly extending him an invitation.

"What are the benefits of joining the Nine Nether Sect?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"After joining the Nine Nether Sect, we can provide you with elixirs even stronger than the Blood Elixir. With your talent, you might even have a chance to break through to the Grandmaster Realm in the future."

"As long as you are outstanding enough to gain the favor of Lord Demon God, even eternal life wouldn’t be out of the question!" The man spoke lightly.

"Can I go back and think about it?"

Lin Zheyu said, a pack of powder quietly slipping from his sleeve into his hand.

"Ha, do you think that’s possible?" The man sneered.

"Before joining, I have one question, how did you find me just now?" Lin Zheyu asked.

"Once you join the Nine Nether Sect, you will understand." The man said calmly.

"Alright, I’ll join!" Lin Zheyu nodded.

"Then come with me."

"Your talent is good, you won’t need to make contributions like those bandits to exchange for elixirs. After your talent level is tested, you will receive corresponding cultivation resources each month."
