Chapter 135: Chapter 110: Saint Master in Rong City, Slaying the Impermanence Sect Leader

Rong City.

Inside the Lin Family’s ancestral home.

Lu Changfeng sat at the head of the room. The Fire Qilin lay on his shoulder, its eyes half-closed in a look of sleepy contentment.

Below him sat a relaxed-looking Bai Touweng, a grim-faced Lin Family Ancestor, Lin Erfeng, and a few core members of the Lin Family.

The display of the Ancient Fire Qilin’s power had shattered any of Lin Erfeng’s unrealistic notions.

Now, Lin Erfeng sat below him, utterly respectful.

He had adapted quickly to his change in status, already carrying himself as a member of the Holy Sect.

He had even gone so far as to change into a set of purple robes identical to Lu Changfeng’s.

"Saint Master, what are the arrangements for Rong City going forward?"

Rong City was Lin Erfeng’s life’s work, a place he had managed for half his life, so he was extremely concerned about its future.

Lu Changfeng said, "The general structure of Rong City will remain unchanged. Of course, that is on the condition that you can achieve the goal I stated earlier: make everyone in Rong City accept their new identity as subjects of the Saint Demon Sect."

Lin Erfeng let out a slight sigh of relief and nodded emphatically. "Rest assured, Saint Master. When the Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect arrives, the people will surely come out to welcome them of their own accord."

"Good."

"What arrangements have been made for the Martial Artists who were swallowed by the Fire Qilin today?"

There weren’t many injured in that battle.

The only ones who died were the Martial Artists swallowed by the Fire Qilin. They were as dead as could be, likely already digested into droppings.

Lin Erfeng replied, "Pensions have already been distributed to their families."

"Please don’t worry, Saint Master. A man will die for one who appreciates him. My Martial Artists understood that I was the one who gave the order. We will naturally bear the consequences ourselves and will not hold a grudge against the Saint Master’s Qilin."

Lin Erfeng was sensible.

At Lin Erfeng’s signal, the two Bone Refining Fifth Layer experts in the distance also indicated to Lu Changfeng that they had no issues.

One of them, who had been sent flying by the Fire Qilin’s tail, was still swollen and covered in medicinal paste. He looked rather comical as he cupped his hands in a salute.

"Mm." Lu Changfeng nodded slightly.

"Before, you were enemies, so naturally, I showed no mercy."

"Now that we are all members of the Holy Sect, I will also treat my disciples well."

"You, come up here."

Lu Changfeng beckoned to the swollen Bone Refining Fifth Layer expert.

The man came forward, feeling rather apprehensive.

Next, Lu Changfeng lightly activated his [Ancient Snow Python] Demon Fiend Bloodline.

After giving the Purple Dragon 2% of his [Ancient Snow Python] bloodline,

Lu Changfeng still had 3% of the [Ancient Snow Python] left.

It came with the Demon Fiend Skills ’Ice Snake’s Sigh’ and ’Rapid Freeze Rebirth’.

The latter was a divine skill for healing, and it could also be used on others.

Lu Changfeng activated the [Ancient Snow Python] in his heart. In an instant, his hair turned silver-white and his eyes glowed with a silver light. The aura of an Ancient Demon Fiend made the Fire Qilin on his shoulder look at him with some confusion.

Lu Changfeng, however, simply placed a hand on the forehead of the Bone Refining Fifth Layer expert.

A cool energy slowly enveloped him.

A thin layer of frost formed on the surface of his body.

The Martial Artist inside the ice kept blinking, looking quite comfortable.

A moment later, Lu Changfeng raised his hand and gave a slight shake. The ice shattered. The Bone Refining Fifth Layer expert jumped in place a few times, then looked at his own body in disbelief and said, "My injuries... they’re completely healed!"

"This must be the legendary Demon Fiend Skill!"

The eyes of the other Bone Refining experts present revealed their envy. Possessing a Demon Fiend Skill meant one could advance to the Rebirth Realm through a relatively normal method, achieving a level of power far beyond what a Rebirth Realm expert like the Lin Family Ancestor could compare to.

Lu Changfeng deactivated his [Ancient Snow Python] bloodline. He waved his hand, dismissing the ecstatic Bone Refining Fifth Layer expert who was bowing and thanking him profusely.

Then, Lu Changfeng turned to look at the Lin Family Ancestor at his side.

"Senior Lin Xiong, I’ve noticed that your body is somewhat different from an ordinary Rebirth Realm expert’s. Could you tell me about the distinction?"

In Lu Changfeng’s eyes, the man’s interface showed that, like Fanyun, he possessed no Demon Fiend Bloodline.

Combined with what the others had said before, the Lin Family might have mastered an alternative method of advancement.

Name: Lin Xiong

Root Bone: Upper A Class

Talent: Middle Grade Talent [Mad Fist]

Lin Xiong’s Root Bone was quite good, but among Rebirth Realm experts, his Talent could only be considered average, or even on the weaker side.

And to complete the Rebirth without a Demon Fiend Bloodline was nothing short of a miracle.

Lin Xiong cupped his hands toward Lu Changfeng and began, "It’s not really a secret."

"More than fifty years ago, our Lin Family rescued a heavily injured senior."

"After this senior recovered, he was grateful for my family’s sincerity and gifted us three Spiritual Medicines."

"The effect of this Spiritual Medicine is that it allows a Martial Sect at the Bone Refining Fifth Layer to expend their Life Force and forcefully break through to the Spirit Body First Layer of the Rebirth Realm."

"Of course, this method of breaking through consumes a great deal of Life Force. The worse one’s Root Bone and Talent, the greater the amount of Life Force required."

"There have also been cases where someone with insufficient Root Bone, Talent, and Life Force took the Spirit Pill only to die during the advancement process. This happened to one of my cousins when he took the pill."

"Although I was fortunate enough to succeed, I am only a hundred years old now, but my ’true’ age is probably around one hundred and fifty."

"Moreover, after breaking through with this kind of Spirit Pill, one’s strength is limited—probably due to the massive loss of Life Force. I am about ten to twenty percent weaker than an ordinary Rebirth Realm expert."

Hearing this, Bai Touweng, who was off to the side, nodded in understanding. ’No wonder I felt like he was holding back when we fought. Turns out he was just this weak all along. Looks like I completely misunderstood...’

"Of the Spirit Pills my Lin Family obtained, one remains, and it is in my possession. If the Saint Master has need of it, I will present it with both hands!" Lin Xiong declared.
