Completely different from the last time when she left in a panic, this time, when Lin Dan stepped into Xuan Ji Sect, she was greeted by many respected elders and peak masters, and many inner disciples stood in the distance, looking at her with awe.
Today, Lin Dan's legend has spread throughout the entire Nanhua Continent. She refined a magic pill in the foundation-building stage alone, and then broke through the mental barriers of the foundation-building stage, golden elixir stage, Nascent Soul stage, and spirit separation stage, becoming a cultivator at the peak of the fusion stage. Her alchemy skills were already the best in the world, but her swordsmanship had killed hundreds of top warriors in a row, and she had established a reputation that was no less prestigious than the Chaos Sword Technique by annihilating countless souls.
She is a well-deserved leader of the younger generation, an existence that all the favored ones cannot touch. As miserable as she was in the past, she is as dazzling as she is now.
Those who once excluded and belittled her now did not even have the courage to look her in the eye and could only retreat in panic the moment she glanced at them. This panic came from their inner shame and from their fear of Lin Dan's murderous aura. Her whole body was shrouded in a terrifying atmosphere that made people shudder. People with low cultivation could not tell what this atmosphere was, but people with higher cultivation knew that it was sin, a sin that could only be condensed by shattering countless golden elixirs and destroying countless souls!
The steel knife in her hand had no decorations at all, just a handle and a blade, but it was enough to make people fearful. The blade that originally flashed with a cold silver light had now been dyed dark red by the blood of countless monks, and it looked very ominous. There was also a slowly flowing evil spirit lingering at the tip of the knife, which lasted for a long time.
This knife is very extraordinary. There is no rare treasure that can make it advance. Only the blood of cultivators can water it. With just one glance, the master of the Xuan Ji Sect's Weapon Refining Peak had already seen some clues and his judgment of Lin Dan's degree of danger improved a lot. Fortunately, Xuan Ji Sect did not stand on the wrong side this time and become her enemy, otherwise there would be a disaster in the future!
Somehow, the master of the Refining Peak remembered what the master of the Danxia Peak once said - this boy will definitely be extraordinary in the future!
Speak of the devil, and he will appear. The head of the Weapon Refining Peak was just thinking when he saw the head of the Danxia Peak, Ning Jingyuan, flying over from the horizon. He bowed and said from a distance, "Master Lin, you are finally here. May I have the honor of inviting you to our cave residence later? We can talk about the way of alchemy."
When Lin Dan left, he was just a stray dog abandoned by the sect. Today. When she came back, she had become a person that all the peak masters had to treat with caution. As the saying goes, things change over time.
Lin Dan nodded and agreed without thinking, which made Ning Jingyuan laugh out loud and feel happy. Being able to discuss the art of alchemy with Lin Dan, who had refined the Twin Divine Pills, must be something that all alchemists in the entire South China Continent have dreamed of, right?
"I wonder if Ningran is okay?" Lin Dan suddenly thought of someone.
Ning Jingyuan pointed to the mysterious stone wall not far away and said with great satisfaction: "Master Lin Dan, look."
I saw a tall young man practicing his moves in front of the wall. Fierce sword intent spurted out from the tip of his sword and hit the cliff, creating layers of air waves. The air wave was extremely hot and sharp, forcing the fellow disciples nearby to stay away to avoid being accidentally injured.
As if he realized someone was looking at him, he retracted his sword intent, raised his head and looked over. His serious little face froze for a moment, then broke into a brilliant smile. He didn't dare to step forward and greet Lin Dan, because she was surrounded by several elders and peak masters, looking so majestic, and not at all like the embarrassment she had when she left.
He raised his hand and waved, and Lin Dan smiled and nodded, which made him almost jump for joy.
Someone nearby whispered, "Look, that's Lin Dan. Ning Ran's sword bone was dug out from her body."
"Ah? He actually dared to dig out Lin Dan's sword bone? He is the number one alchemy cultivator in Nanhua Continent!"
"No, the sword bone was dug by Lin Dan herself. When she was leaving, she happened to run into Ning Ran and gave it to him. You also know that Lin Dan wants to switch to alchemy, so this sword bone is useless to her."
“If it were me, how could I dare to abandon my cultivation and choose another path before I was completely sure? No wonder Lin Dan is Lin Dan, and we are just mortals.”
"Yes, the sword bone she condensed is not an ordinary bone. Look at Ning Ran, it took only two years for her to form a pill, and she is no worse than those inner disciples with excellent talents."
The disciples whispered about Lin Dan's deeds, and when they looked at her again, their eyes were filled with respect. Lin Dan just glanced at Ning Ran for a few seconds and continued walking towards Xuan Ji Hall. His character was not shaken by the opinions of the world. After entering the hall, the elders and peak masters said goodbye one after another, and the leader of Xuan Ji Sect led Lin Dan to the underground floor and asked her to check the physical condition of the eldest disciple.
"He has been in this state since that day." The sect leader said worriedly.
Lin Dan lowered his eyes and looked at it, his brows involuntarily frowned. Three days later, Le Zhengjiu was still in a coma. Even after his entire body was immersed in a pool full of thousand-year-old stalactites, there was no sign of improvement. Lin Dan once practiced the Chaos Sword Art with him. His spiritual consciousness easily entered his purple palace and stepped into his sea of consciousness to inspect it.
His sea of consciousness was originally a vast expanse of lava, filled with flames and heat waves, and the sky was dyed a magnificent color by rosy clouds. As beautiful as the scenery here is, it is also as dangerous for invaders. But now, this sea of consciousness had somehow formed several bottomless abysses, with black air currents slowly rotating inside, sucking in all the surrounding lava, and swallowing up the heat waves, flames, and clouds. If these abysses were left unattended, Le Zhengjiu's sea of consciousness would collapse completely sooner or later, forming a black hole.
The consequences of that would be unbearable for anyone. Even someone as strong as Le Zhengjiu might fall from the middle stage of the Spirit Severing stage to the Foundation Establishment stage. He would more likely be swallowed up by these black holes and die. These injuries were obviously not caused by the war, but were accumulated over time.
But who could invade his sea of consciousness, which was like a fiery hell, and cause him such great harm? That person's cultivation must be above the Spirit Severing Stage, and the leader of the Xuan Ji Sect is a cultivator at the Great Accomplishment Stage. It is impossible for him not to notice such a malicious spiritual consciousness.
Lin Dan was puzzled. After leaving Le Zhengjiu's sea of consciousness, he looked at the leader of Xuan Ji Sect with a puzzled look.
The old master's face turned red, and he quickly changed the subject: "Master Lin Dan, can you cure my disciple's injury?"
Since the man didn't want to talk, Lin Dan didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "It can be cured. Feed him this nourishing spirit pill and then mix this guiding spirit pill into the pool water and let him soak in it. He will be cured after 49 days."
The leader of Xuan Ji Sect thanked him repeatedly before accepting the two pills. He melted one into the stalactite and stuffed the other into his disciple's mouth, but he saw that the disciple gritted his teeth and refused to swallow it.
"Good disciple, open your mouth." The leader of Xuan Ji Sect regarded Le Zhengjiu as his own son and coaxed him patiently, but it was of no use at all. After struggling for most of the day, he had to ask Lin Dan for help.
Lin Dan jumped into the pool without saying a word, holding the Yang Shen Pill in one hand and holding Le Zhengjiu's head with the other, and whispered, "Le Zhengjiu, it's time to take the medicine."
Le Zhengjiu's eyelashes trembled, as if he sensed something. Lin Dan wiped the milky white water drops on his face, pinched his jaw, and stuffed the pill in. This time, Le Zhengjiu no longer resisted and finally took the medicine smoothly.
Lin Dan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to climb ashore, but he found that his hanging belt was firmly grasped in Le Zhengjiu's palm and he couldn't pull it out at all. With no other options, she could only take off her belt, tie a new one on from her Qiankun Ring, and then collect all the thousand-year-old stalactites that were stuck to her robe into her palms and pour them back into the pool.
"When I left, he gave me two rings. I returned these two to him." Lin Dan handed the Qiankun Ring filled with treasures to the leader of Xuan Ji Sect.
"Okay, I will definitely hand it over to him." The leader of Xuan Ji Sect was very ashamed and didn't dare to look into Lin Dan's eyes at all. This person has a scale in her heart, and she remembers who treats her well and who treats her badly! She would take revenge if there was any grudge, and she would never forget a favor for a moment. How could he have looked down on such a good child?
"Alas..." Thousands of thoughts finally turned into a long sigh of regret.
Lin Dan stepped out of Xuan Ji Hall and saw Liang Jinxi flying towards him on a sword from afar, looking very anxious. The Apocalypse Sword under her feet sensed Lin Dan's breath and suddenly became very agitated. It swayed from side to side and hummed, and somehow threw Liang Jinxi off.
Liang Jinxi somersaulted in the air, and just managed to adjust his posture and land safely. He looked terrified and embarrassed. The Apocalypse Sword ignored her completely. It rushed to Lin Dan with a whoosh and touched her forehead and cheek with the sword tassel.
Lin Dan avoided its approach with an expressionless face.
The Apocalypse Sword vibrated hummingly and wanted to move forward, but was forced back by the evil spirit emitted by the steel knife hanging on Lin Dan's waist. Although this sword has no intelligence, its power and spiritual pressure are far superior to the Sword of Apocalypse.
The Apocalypse Sword froze in front of Lin Dan and did not move, as if it was instantly sealed by a thick layer of ice.
Lin Dan simply tilted his head and walked past it, leaving behind only a lonely and proud back.
Liang Jinxi came in a hurry, but he didn't have the time or courage to say the first half of a sentence to her. He could only hold the Apocalypse Sword tightly, with such force that it seemed as if he could crush it. The Apocalypse Sword struggled in her palm, dragging her around in the open space in front of the temple, endlessly, causing the passing disciples to cover their mouths and laugh.
"Look, it's been two years, and Senior Sister Liang still can't control the Apocalypse Sword!"
"She looks so miserable, how can she cooperate with Senior Brother?"
"Alas, if Senior Sister Lin hadn't left, she and Senior Brother would have probably already cultivated to the seventh level of the Chaos Sword Art, right? Unlike Senior Sister Liang, who has been practicing with Senior Brother for two years and is still at the entry level."
"Senior Sister Lin is a natural prodigy. How can Senior Sister Liang compare to her? If she hadn't taken advantage of our sect's disciples, how could she be qualified to practice with Senior Brother?"
How these people ridiculed Lin Dan in the past, now all of it is returned to Liang Jinxi, and this situation will only get worse, because Liang Jinxi knows that she has no way to practice Chaos Sword Art with Le Zhengjiu. She used to suppress Lin Dan everywhere, causing her to go crazy and behave in an ugly way. But now, Lin Dan withdrew from the battle, completely fulfilling her wish, but she was full of confusion about the future——
After leaving Xuan Ji Sect, Lin Dan joined Kai Tian Sect, the first weapon refining sect in Nanhua Continent, and became the head of the newly established Alchemy Hall. It turned out that Lin Dan had cooperated with Kaitian Sect as early as two years ago. The people in the sect were all weapon-refining fanatics. They usually only knew how to study various weapon-refining techniques and did not know how to fight for power and profit. This kind of atmosphere was exactly what Lin Dan liked the most.
The Weapon Refining Sect cooperates with sects all over the continent and has a god-level puppet as the sect's treasure, so naturally others dare not set their sights on them. Lin Dan's entry into Kaitian Sect was like entering a safe. All internal and external troubles were gone. From then on, he could concentrate on refining pills and practicing swordsmanship. His cultivation level increased by leaps and bounds.
