387: Xun'er's reminder

Xiao Yan, Xun'er, and the others gaped, their jaws nearly hitting the ground.

They weren't surprised that Lin Xiu had transformed into an Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

What truly terrified them was his strength!

How long had it been? Lin Xiu had actually broken through to a Two-star Dou Sheng?

Did his Cultivation have no Bottlenecks?

Xun'er's lips curved downwards, a hint of bitterness appearing.

In front of her Senior, her Divine-Grade Bloodline seemed like nothing more than a decoration; in terms of Cultivation speed, she couldn't compare to him at all… When Lin Xiu resealed the space, not only could outsiders not enter, but even those inside who wished to leave first needed his permission.

As a leading figure in the Hall of Souls, Great Heavenly Reverent’s strength was still quite formidable.

A Two-star Dou Sheng, coupled with his methods, would probably be evenly matched with opponents of the same Realm, if not invincible.

However.

In front of Lin Xiu, he was as weak as a Dou Zun.

The physique of a Rank Nine Demonic Beast, terrifying exotic flames, and various Fighting Skills.

Great Heavenly Reverent and the Dou Sheng Elder from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, even when joining forces, couldn't last long under Lin Xiu's hands.

After dealing with the two of them, facing the threats from Hun Yu, Jiu Feng, and the others.

Lin Xiu returned their words verbatim, “As long as I kill all of you, and no news gets out, who will have any evidence?”

“No!”

“Mercy!”

These people tried to beg for their lives, but without exception, they all failed.

After Lin Xiu dealt with everyone, he gave a bodhi seed to Gu Qingyang, Xun'er, and Huo Xuan.

This was to thank them for their previous kindness.

Then, he gave one to Xiao Yan, “Your teacher will definitely be able to refine a bodhi pill. I believe with your talent, breaking through to Dou Sheng with a bodhi pill will definitely not be a problem.”

“Thank you, Senior.”

Xiao Yan was a little surprised, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Yao Chen, Tang Zhen, and the others walking over from a distance showed envy on their faces.

“Valley Master Tang, when I finish refining the bodhi pill, I will personally deliver it to you.”

Lin Xiu said with a smile.

“I get one too?”

Tang Zhen was overjoyed and greatly surprised, quickly nodding in agreement.

Indeed, he hadn't misjudged the person; the girl's discernment was excellent. Exchanging a bodhi seed for a bodhi pill was a profit no matter how you looked at it.

Because refining a bodhi pill was not something an ordinary Alchemist could do.

Yao Chen pursed his lips, wanting to speak, but couldn't find a suitable reason.

At this moment, he saw Lin Xiu waving to him, and he paused, then walked forward.

“Venerable Yao, I have a way for you to become a Dou Sheng, but it depends on whether you dare to try it.”

The number of bodhi seeds was limited, so Lin Xiu naturally wouldn't give them all away, trying to maximize their value.

Hearing that he could Breakthrough to Dou Sheng, Yao Chen's breathing immediately hitched, and he looked at Lin Xiu blankly, “What method?”

“Do you still remember refining a Rebirth body?”

Lin Xiu smiled, “Yao Tianhuo used this method to Breakthrough to Dou Sheng. I can reserve a body for you. If you're interested, you can come to Canaan Academy to find me.”

He patted Yao Chen's shoulder, not waiting for Yao Chen's reply.

Those five Half-Saint bodies naturally had to be used on suitable people.

And Yao Chen was undoubtedly a good choice.

After all, Yao Chen and Xiao Yan, master and disciple, were essentially familiar people who knew each other well.

Coupled with Yao Chen's close relationship with the Pill Tower, and Xiao Yan's close ties to the Gu Clan.

Now that more people from the Soul Clan had died by his hand, and even the Great Heavenly Reverent of the Hall of Souls had fallen.

Even if the Soul Clan could restrain themselves, they would probably take action.

Lin Xiu now only wanted to improve the strength of the people around him; treasures only had value when used.

Keeping them on himself, apart from being taken after being killed, was meaningless.

After dealing with Hun Yu and the others, Lin Xiu lifted the spatial Seal, and Elder Tong Xuan and the Elders of the Yan Clan also arrived just in time.

Seeing that Xun'er and Huo Xuan were fine, these people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone then prepared to separate.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree had disappeared, so there was no point in staying in the Wild Ancient Domain.

Xun'er approached Lin Xiu, “Senior, you must be wary of the Soul Clan. Not long ago, the Spirit Realm of the Spirit Clan completely closed, and when it reopened, all living beings inside were gone.”

“Yes, Senior, I almost forgot about this. When you have time, make a trip to the Pill Tower. The Elders of the Pill Tower want to discuss the matter of an Alliance.”

Xiao Yan, reminded, also reacted.

Now, in terms of strength in the Central Plains, Lin Xiu's Cultivation Alliance was already a force to be reckoned with.

Not only did it have Dou Saints overseeing it, but Sects like the Tianming Sect were also affiliated with the Cultivation Alliance.

And the Burning Flame Valley also seemed to have a close relationship with the Cultivation Alliance.

“When I finish what I'm currently working on, I will go to the Pill Tower.”

Lin Xiu nodded. Before that, he had to resolve Medusa's matter.

Because he had promised her a long time ago.

After a brief moment of thought, he looked at Xun'er, “Junior Sister Xun'er, if it's convenient, it's best to have your father and the Shi Clan communicate closely recently.”

After the Spirit Clan's incident, the Shi Clan would be next.

Lin Xiu had seen the plot, so he naturally understood, but he couldn't be too direct.

If Gu Yuan pressed him, he wouldn't be able to give a stable answer.

Upon hearing this, Xun'er's beautiful eyes flickered, and she nodded gently… The gloomy sky hung over a pitch-black land.

The ground was rugged, surrounded by mountains.

Within the convergence of those mountains, one could see one cavern after another.

On a certain peak, the Void Realm trembled slightly, and then two figures appeared.

“Is this where the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Clan lives?”

Medusa's pale purple eyes slowly swept around, revealing a hint of bewilderment.

She didn't seem to see any treasure that could activate her Bloodline and allow her to become a Dou Sheng.

“The true Nine Serene Deep Earth Pythons all live underground. To go down, you must first pass through the Nine Serene Abyss.”

Lin Xiu's voice was calm. His Soul Power surged out, covering this area, “Found it. Let's go.”

His voice hadn't even faded in the air when the two figures had already disappeared.

The Nine Serene Abyss was a passage leading underground, and the deeper one went, the darker it became.

Moreover, various tunnels filled the surroundings.

Lin Xiu had come in a hurry and hadn't prepared a map, but with his Emperor Realm Soul, he wouldn't get lost.

After some time, he successfully brought Medusa to the Nether Snake Earth Vein.

This was the headquarters of the Nine Serene Deep Earth Python Clan, and also the Holy Land in the hearts of many Snake-people tribes.

Under the feedback of his Soul Power, the heavily guarded checkpoints appeared as clearly as flashing red lights on a radar.

“So many tribes. Compared to the Snake-people tribes here, the Snake-people in the desert seem to be playing house.”

Medusa was somewhat shocked. This was her first time seeing such a massive gathering place for Snake-people.

She had once found relevant information in ancient texts, which seemed to indicate that their Snake-people tribe in the desert had moved out from here.

However, the specific reasons for this move were not recorded.

“I've found the location of the Nine Serene Yellow Springs. Suppress your Qi, and I'll take you there. After I drop you off, I can't stay here to guard you. It's best not to attract their attention right now.”

Lin Xiu instructed, and seeing Medusa nod, he led her to another location.

When they reappeared, the two were already at the edge of a lake.

Standing on the shore, a vast lake stretched before them, emitting a chilling aura that continuously spread outwards, creeping towards their bodies.

The lake's surface was calm, and the water was deep yellow, but upon closer inspection, one could discern faint traces of a blood-like hue.

“This is the Nine Serene Yellow Springs.”

Lin Xiu crouched down and reached out to touch the lake water. The cold Qi clinging to his fingers immediately caused frost to appear, rapidly spreading up his arm.
