READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 48: Peak Master Realm
“Alright, you should leave the Lin family first and find a suitable base. I’ll send members of the guard unit to join you gradually. Make sure no one discovers the connection between Shadow Hall and the Lin family.”
“Yes, Master.”
“You may go.”
“We take our leave.”
With a nod, Jue Di and Ying Di took their subordinates, left the forbidden area of the back mountain, and quickly departed the Lin family estate through their own means. They began searching for a suitable stronghold within Qingfeng City.
Seeing Lin Zichen arrange everything in such an orderly manner, Lin Siyu and Lin Sihong couldn’t help but exchange a glance. Satisfaction was evident in their eyes.
“He truly lives up to being the Lin family’s young master.”
At just seventeen years old, he already carried the demeanor of a great power’s leader. No wonder he had been chosen by a supreme powerhouse of the Reversion Realm.
“Great-Grandfather,”
While the two were lost in thought, Lin Zichen had already taken out the two remaining Master Cultivation Enhancement Pills from his treasure space.
“Master Cultivation Enhancement Pills? A single pill that can raise a Master Realm expert cultivation by one minor realm?”
“What— such miraculous pills actually exist?”
After Lin Zichen explained the pills, Lin Siyu and Lin Sihong stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
They had seen pills that could enhance cultivation before.
But never had they encountered something that could directly raise a whole minor realm—and could be used repeatedly.
What shocked them further was the name: Master Cultivation Enhancement Pill.
Would that mean there might also exist Grandmaster Cultivation Enhancement Pills or even Celestial Cultivation Enhancement Pills?
“Impossible— there’s no way,”
The thought alone made Lin Siyu and Lin Sihong shake their heads to rid themselves of the idea.
If such terrifying pills truly existed, the world would have long descended into chaos, and Celestial Realm experts would no longer hold such esteemed positions in Qianyuan Country.
“Chen’er, isn’t your current cultivation in the Master Realm? You should use the pills for yourself.”
“Exactly, we’re already old and have limited potential. Such powerful pills shouldn’t be wasted on us.”
Though they didn’t believe there could be Grandmaster or Celestial pills, the Master Realm pill before them was real. Judging by the potent medicinal fragrance alone, its ability to raise a minor realm seemed highly credible.
Yet precisely because of this, their first thought was not to keep the pills for themselves but to urge Lin Zichen to use them.
“Enough. Just take the pills. I know what I’m doing,”
Lin Zichen rolled his eyes and didn’t give the two elders a chance to argue further. He activated his movement technique and drifted toward his residence.
“That little rascal,”
Watching Lin Zichen’s retreating figure, Lin Siyu and Lin Sihong couldn’t help but laugh and scold him affectionately.
Still, their hearts were filled with warmth.
However, as elders, they didn’t want to owe their great-grandson such a favor.
“Let’s convert these two Master Cultivation Enhancement Pills into 300,000 contribution points. It’ll be as though we’re exchanging them with Chen’er.”
“Agreed.”
The Lin family’s contribution point system had undergone significant reforms, greatly increasing its value.
One contribution point was equivalent to one lower-grade spirit stone.
Thus, 300,000 contribution points equaled 300,000 lower-grade spirit stones.
Of course, the value was one thing, but actually exchanging such a large number of spirit stones was no easy task.
Although the Lin family’s income had increased considerably recently, the costs of maintaining the family’s operations had multiplied. On top of that, losses, resource allocation for cultivation, and other needs meant there were very few spare spirit stones left.
Moreover, most family members didn’t convert their contribution points into spirit stones; instead, they used them to exchange for cultivation pills and resources.
Unaware of all these behind-the-scenes arrangements, Lin Zichen returned to his courtyard and began his secluded cultivation.
Although a single Master Cultivation Enhancement Pill could enhance a Master’s cultivation by one minor realm, it still required time to fully refine.
“With my talent, I can refine one Master Cultivation Enhancement Pill in just three days. However, after my cultivation improves, I need to spend over half a month consolidating my foundation to prevent instability before taking another pill.”
“At this rate, barring any accidents, it will take me less than three months to reach Peak Master Realm!”
At this thought, Lin Zichen’s face broke into a broad smile.
At the end of these three months, he would still only be seventeen years old.
Seventeen, Peak Master Realm.
If word got out, it would shock countless people to death.
Many so-called geniuses in Qianyuan Country would spend their entire lives trapped in this realm.
“Time to cultivate.”
Pushing away stray thoughts, Lin Zichen immediately entered a state of seclusion.
He had no idea that 300,000 contribution points had already been added to his name.
If he did, he surely wouldn’t be in such a rush to cultivate—he would first redeem them for as many spirit stones as possible.
Time flew by, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.
While Lin Zichen focused on his cultivation, the Lin family began experiencing rapid development.
Within three months, thanks to the triple cultivation buff and a steady supply of resources, the family’s strength grew by leaps and bounds. The remaining Fifth-Generation Elders used this opportunity to step into the Master Realm.
In a short time, the Lin family boasted more than ten Master Realm experts. Even without Chu Mu, the Grandmaster Realm expert, the Lin family’s overall power was now on par with any established second-rate power.
Beyond high-end combat strength, the number of Lin family Prenatal Realm warriors also surged.
Despite having only a little over 1,000 family members, the Lin family now had over 300 Prenatal Realm warriors, nearly one-fourth of their population.
Additionally, many younger generation members had stepped into the Postnatal Realm, rivaling some of the older generation.
The entire Lin family was thriving, filled with boundless vitality and progress.
“Whew… I finally comprehended 30% of Sword Intent.”
In his courtyard, Lin Zichen’s entire body trembled as a vast, unparalleled Sword Intent burst forth. The sharp energy instantly shattered a nearby stone pillar, bringing an excited smile to his face.
“As expected of the Innate Sword Constitution. In just three months, I’ve taken my understanding of Sword Intent to new heights. And this was achieved while refining Master Cultivation Enhancement Pills and consolidating my foundation. If I had focused entirely on Sword Intent, I could have cut the time by at least half.”
Indeed, at this point, Lin Zichen had already reached Peak Master Realm.
The Sword Qi that burst out earlier was simply residual force from his 30% Sword Intent, without him even using any cultivation power. Yet, it had instantly shattered a stone pillar weighing thousands of pounds.
If he went all out, his full power would be devastating.
One strike could likely flatten everything within a kilometer radius.
One person alone could effortlessly destroy an entire city.
Of course, that was assuming no strong expert intervened.
“Typically, a Peak Master Realm cultivator wouldn’t possess this level of combat strength. However, because I’ve comprehended 30% of Sword Intent, mastered the Master Martial Skill Cloud-Turning Sword Technique to Complete Mastery, and have the foundation of the Innate Sword Constitution, my strength far surpasses others in the same realm. The only question is—how would I fare against a Grandmaster?”
