Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 203: A Night in Brocade?

Lin Fengmian had not expected the underground black market to have a teleportation array. He gave it a surprised glance before stepping into it.

 Moments later, he flew out of a dry well in the city, finding himself in an abandoned courtyard.

He looked at the darkened well and marveled at its ingenuity.

“This Taotie Association seems to be quite honest, not resorting to underhanded tactics,” Lin Fengmian said with a smile.

Luo Xue remained noncommittal and said coolly, “That’s not necessarily true. This woman might not have good intentions.”

Lin Fengmian was taken aback for a moment, then he looked at the cloak he was wearing, frowning. “Is there something wrong with this cape?”

Luo Xue sighed and said helplessly, “Not really, I just wanted to remind you not to lose your head over a woman.”

Lin Fengmian chuckled, “How could I? I’m just following your plan. What should we do now?”

Luo Xue calmly replied, “What do you think?”

Lin Fengmian thought for a moment and said, “Since we have the pill, we should leave the city and give others a chance to make a move. They wouldn’t dare to act while we’re still in the city.”

“Then we can take the opportunity to show off a bit and break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. It’s a shame that the people in this city aren’t the same as before, the effect won’t be as good.”

Luo Xue nodded indifferently, “Do what you want. If it goes wrong, I’ll cover for you.”

She wasn’t particularly optimistic about Lin Fengmian’s genius cultivation plan. After all, no matter how talented he was, it still depended on whether the Heaven-Soaring Sword Saint would pay attention to him.

She didn’t oppose it for two reasons: one, to avoid discouraging him, and two, to give him a chance to practice.

Besides, she had no better ideas, so why not let it be?

Lin Fengmian walked out with a light step and muttered, “I wonder what that female host looked like? Her voice sounded like she’s a gentle beauty.”

Luo Xue said irritably, “You can’t resist women, do you want me to go back and bring her to warm your bed?”

Lin Fengmian joked, “That’s not necessary. After all, I’m all heart and no strength now!”

Luo Xue couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, but she still took control of the body and used a spell to shield his aura.

Lin Fengmian flew out of the city on a flying sword, deliberately choosing sparsely populated areas.

Not for any other reason, but to find a place where the land was vast and dark, making it easier to dispose of bodies.

He flew for about ten miles and saw an old, dilapidated temple.

Luo Xue said, “Let’s stop here and start cultivating.”

In the other world, Lin Fengmian’s strength hadn’t improved at all in the past few days.

She couldn’t help him cultivate, so now Lin Fengmian had to focus on improving his realm in order to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.

Lin Fengmian nodded in agreement as he landed and looked around curiously, “In such a remote forest, there’s actually a temple?”

Luo Xue said coolly, “What is so strange about it? It’s clear that someone used to cultivate here, but it was later abandoned.”

Lin Fengmian entered and looked around, confirming that Luo Xue was right. This was not a temple for ordinary people to worship, but a place for cultivators to meditate.

The most obvious sign was the lack of any Buddha or deity statues on the altar. Instead, there was a large character for “Dao” and a cushion below it.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned a fierce wind that swept the debris in the dilapidated temple to one side. Then he took out a portable array disk from Luo Xue’s storage ring and activated it.

Seeing the array envelop the area around him, he couldn’t help but marvel at the difference between the disciples of the top-tier sects.

He sat cross-legged, took out a Spirit Gathering Pill, swallowed it, and began his cultivation.

However, it was more like he was recuperating and restoring his spirit energy, as he didn’t have any realm bottleneck.

If not for the different cultivation techniques, he would have long since broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

The Demon Emperor Technique he practiced was different from Luo Xue’s Qionghua Sword Technique. It worked through different meridians and required the opening of different acupoints.

Therefore, many meridians and acupoints had to be reopened, but this was not a problem for Lin Fengmian and Luo Xue.

Under Luo Xue’s guidance, Lin Fengmian quickly broke through the relevant acupoints and opened new meridians, and then continued to make rapid progress.

With ample support from the strong pills and the powerful Demon Emperor Technique, his spiritual energy increased at a terrifying rate.

By the time night fell, he was already approaching the peak of the Core Formation Realm, just one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm.

But Lin Fengmian suddenly stopped and asked curiously, “Luo Xue, can outsiders interfere with someone’s Tribulation Crossing Realm?”

When he attempted the breakthrough to the Core Formation Realm last time, he hadn’t given this much thought.

Luo Xue explained, “Yes, but the cost is very high. It’s likely that both parties will end up seriously injured or even dead.”

“Interfering with someone’s tribulation is equivalent to challenging the heavenly tribulation. The Heavenly Tribulation will actively target them, forcing them to also undergo the tribulation.”

Lin Fengmian asked confusedly, “Then why would it result in mutual destruction? If you interfere with my tribulation, will we both end up being severely injured?”

Luo Xue nodded and said, “Whether I help you or try to kill you during your tribulation, it’s considered a challenge to the heavenly tribulation.”

“The heavenly tribulation will automatically increase in intensity to match the strongest party, striking down without distinction of friend or foe.”

Lin Fengmian was taken aback, “So the person who goes through the tribulation is doomed?”

Luo Xue sighed, “Not necessarily, but the risk is extremely high. It’s best to avoid interfering unless absolutely necessary.”

“Right, if an enemy interferes with a realm crossing attempt, the cultivator who is undergoing tribulation will usually die, and the interfering party will suffer severe injuries or even die.”

“So unless someone wants a lose-lose situation, no one would usually interfere with someone else’s tribulation crossing realm attempt,” Luo Xue explained.

Lin Fengmian grinned, “Then this is perfect!”

He took out a black robe and a bunch of jade slips from his storage ring and tossed them aside.

Luo Xue couldn’t help but be speechless at his damned desire for attention.

“Aren’t you worried that they might interfere with your breakthrough?”

Lin Fengmian replied nonchalantly, “What is there to be afraid of? If no one watches me showing off, it’s no different from wearing fine clothes at night.”

He always rowed the boat without a paddle, relying entirely on the waves.

Luo Xue couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time, but she could only leave him alone.

Lin Fengmian set up the array and then swallowed the Nascent Soul Pill, beginning the process of forming the Dan and refining the infant, ready to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

He waited for the onlookers to arrive, planning to put on a grand show under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

But as he extended his divine consciousness, he waited and waited, and no one came.

This left Lin Fengmian quite frustrated.

“Luo Xue, did you really lift the aura suppression on me?”

“I did, they should be able to sense your aura by now.”

Luo Xue was also confused.

Could it be that everyone in the Northern Abyss was so virtuous that they were being petty and suspicious?

After waiting for half an hour, Lin Fengmian was completely frustrated.

Because if he waited any longer, he would break through on his own.

Luo Xue could not suppress a laugh and said, “Don’t wait any longer, just break through honestly.”

Lin Fengmian also struggled to suppress his aura. If he delayed any further, the pill he had just taken would lose its effectiveness.

What a nightmare, this time he had miscalculated.

Wearing fine clothes at night!

Just then, Luo Xue suddenly said, “It seems like someone is coming!”
