Gou Refining Essence into Qi in the Dharma-ending Age

Chapter 40 Possession, the Traveler Changes

Xuanqing Daoist never expected that he would be so lucky, that he could casually possess a person who harbored such a great secret.

"The world within the book, huh? No wonder this person was the first to find my inheritance site. If Lin Chao really comes and senses the remnant soul within that person, I'm afraid I'll have to seek cooperation, just like in the original storyline!"

According to the story in Wang Qiudao's mind, the original storyline was that Lin Chao found the place of inheritance, passed the test, and received his help, which gave Lin Chao two "grandfathers".

However, for him, this was completely impossible.

Why did you go to such lengths to leave behind so many treasures and a legacy, just to help others?

In this garbage cultivation world, who would be so kind to him now that he's reached this point?

The only possibility is fear.

The cave dwelling appeared too late, and he was not confident that he could successfully possess Lin Chao's body while Lin Chao was protecting him.

But Wang Qiudao was different.

If no one is protecting him, why can't he live a second life on his own?

As it turned out, this decision was correct.

He succeeded and obtained unimaginable information.

If he makes good use of this information, he will definitely be able to surpass his previous life.

"We can ignore Lin Yuan. According to Wang Qiudao—no, according to my memory—he's just a random NPC. We can maintain our relationship with Lin Chao for a while longer and try to seize some opportunities. Those opportunities are all incredibly powerful!"

Jin Jianfeng, Sun Minglong's residence.

Sun Minglong is now a prominent figure in the entire Sword Sect and even the Xuanling Domain.

However, he was not in a good mood.

"Knowing in advance about the major renovation of the cave dwelling, I only obtained a wisp of superior-grade energy, and failed to acquire the most important inheritance."

He knew Lin Chao well and knew that Lin Chao had many opportunities on his path of cultivation.

The major repair and inheritance is one of them.

Therefore, he had already begun to plan ahead, trying to delay Lin Chao for a while. Unfortunately, he was ultimately unaware of all the details and failed to find the location of the Great Cultivation Inheritance in time, thus failing to achieve his goal.

"Someone managed to get away with it this time, but at least Lin Chao didn't get it. This will definitely slow down his cultivation speed, and I'll be able to crush him under my feet in the future."

Sun Minglong forced himself to calm down.

Excessive emotional fluctuations are detrimental to spiritual practice.

"My gains this time are much greater than in my previous life. The Pure Spring Qi is one of the superior types of Qi. Based on this, I can forge the Spring Water, one of the thirty superior Dao Foundations. When the dragon and snake rise from the land, I can carefully plan and there is a high probability that I will obtain the innate supernatural power of water. My starting point is much higher than in my previous life."

In his previous life, he had only built his immortal foundation with moderate Qi. Although he later gained a lot of luck and still acquired innate supernatural powers, his supernatural powers were only average. Ultimately, he lacked the foundation to achieve the Golden Core.

From this moment on, this life has changed.

But then he thought of Lin Chao.

"It's a pity that Lin Chao took that wisp of purple fire and lightning energy. Otherwise, it could have been used to forge the Dao Foundation Thunderfire, which would have been more suitable and better for me than the spring water. Giving it to Lin Chao is simply a waste of a precious resource."

Inside Lin Chao's residence.

"Master, I have gained quite a bit this time, obtaining a wisp of superior qi. But will this qi be of any use to me?" Lin Chao asked in his mind.

"Superior Qi is also a top-tier treasure, which will naturally be of great use to you. When you establish your foundation, you can use it as a foundation-building spiritual object. Once you succeed, your cultivation of fire and lightning techniques will be twice as effective. Moreover, both fire and lightning are unparalleled in their offensive capabilities, which can further enhance your combat power." Tianyun's tone was also filled with joy.

"According to my original plan, after you established your foundation, you would have been able to reach the combat strength of the seventh level of the Fetal Breathing Realm. But now that you have superior Qi, it's probably more than that."

"The only pity is that the inheritance was obtained by your friend Wang Qiudao, otherwise it would have been of the greatest help to you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chao laughed and said, "If I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is fate. Teacher, if we don't have it, we don't have it. Originally, the major renovation of the cave was just an unexpected gain."

"That's true." Tianyun didn't pay too much attention to it.

The renovation of a cave dwelling is largely dependent on luck.

That kid named Wang Qiudao followed Lin Chao and Lin Yuan into the Sword Sect, and he was indeed very lucky.

He suppressed his thoughts and said, "Go challenge the Trial Tower first, get all the resources you can, and then prepare for seclusion to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. After that, you will undergo a qualitative change."

"Yes, teacher." Lin Chao nodded, feeling a surge of emotion as he thought about it.

……

Outside the Xuanling Domain, on a massive immortal mountain, a young man dressed in a Daoist robe, who looked to be no more than twenty years old, opened his eyes.

"One of the Immortal Lord's followers has fallen? He died before the situation had even fully changed. What a waste!" He began to try to calculate and soon knew the result.

"Heh, not a fall from grace, but a blessing of reincarnation, possession? Or is it a scheme orchestrated by a celestial lord?"

"This life is truly interesting. The Immortal Lord has bestowed many blessings upon us. What is the purpose of this?"

……

The next day, Lin Yuan went to the Daoist Academy to attend classes.

Perhaps because they knew that many disciples had left the sect to obtain opportunities, more and more people went to do missions, and naturally fewer and fewer people from the Dao Asking Academy.

This time, including Lin Yuan, there were only three people.

All three of them came to submit their coursework.

Upon seeing Lin Yuan, Zheng Wenyan was somewhat surprised: "You've already broken through to the fourth level of the Fetal Breathing Realm?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "I carried out the mission and obtained some moonlight, successfully breaking through to the fourth level of the Fetal Breathing Realm. I have done my mission well."

"That's really good luck." Zheng Wenyan nodded, not particularly surprised.

During this time, he heard that his disciples had become numb to opportunities.

He then settled Lin Yuan's academic assessment.

The rating is naturally Grade A.

I received a total of 10000 sect contribution points, which is double the original reward.

"So many?" Lin Yuandu was somewhat surprised.

"The sect has invested a lot of resources in Xinhuo Peak. If you perform well, you might be able to collect all the resources for the Nascent Soul Realm at Xinhuo Peak," Zheng Wenyan said with a smile. Even in his opinion, these rewards were quite generous. Then, as if remembering something, he added, "With your cultivation and comprehension, you might be able to get into the top five in this Trial Tower's settlement. Don't forget that."

Although many disciples of the Fire Peak received opportunities this time, most of these opportunities were not like "Moonlight" which could be used to quickly improve themselves and required time.

This is an advantage for Lin Yuan.

"Understood, teacher. I will be going to the Trial Tower in the next few days," Lin Yuan replied, as this was his original plan.

"Okay, go ahead!" Zheng Wenyan nodded slightly, and finally instructed, "This mission should allow you to see many of your own shortcomings. You can also go to the Scripture Pavilion to make up for your deficiencies."

Lin Yuan nodded. During this mission, he had indeed discovered many of his shortcomings and needed to learn more supernatural abilities.

He then left the Wendao Academy, intending to go to the Sutra Repository, but was stopped halfway there.

The person who stopped him was Chen Changming, the peak master of Xinhuo Peak.
