Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 236 Arrangements

"Such dense Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, tens of times denser than on the Xuan Gui Continent. Cultivating in such an environment would undoubtedly yield twice the result with half the effort. If I had trained here back then, I wouldn’t have taken a hundred years of painstaking cultivation just to fill my three hundred and sixty Innate Acupoints with Innate True Qi."

At this moment, Yu Jinglei’s face twisted with jealousy. Just think, the things he had painstakingly pursued were effortlessly at others’ fingertips, even taken for granted. How could he not be envious?

On the side, Yin Daoyan and Shi Yunyi wore similar expressions, nearly collapsing under their emotions.

Zhong Lin stood aside without speaking, but he deeply understood the trio’s feelings. As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome. The contrast is indeed heartbreaking.

Fortunately, the three were not weak-willed individuals and quickly calmed their inner turmoil, then turned their eyes toward Zhong Lin.

Zhong Lin took out a map from his Storage Bracelet: "Ahead is the eighty-first island of Luoxing Islands, where the Purple Cloud Sect resides. I am currently an Elder of the Purple Cloud Sect. According to our previous plan, it’s best for us not to gather in one place.

Firstly, we don’t know if gathering all the descendants of Sin Blood together would make us a more obvious and easily detected target, which I don’t dare to gamble on.

Secondly, dispersing makes it easier to search for information about the Xuan Gui Continent and to gather stealth cultivation techniques.

Of course, this approach also has its dangers. Innate Martial Artists are not particularly noteworthy in the Luoxing Islands, and if something truly happens, I might not be able to rescue you in time."

Yu Jinglei laughed and waved his hand, "Zhong Lin, you don’t need to worry about us. Back then, Elder Yin and I fought our way out step by step. It’s just a change of environment, and besides, I have already reached Innate Perfection; it won’t be long before I break through. Traversing with Spiritual Origin Realm cultivation won’t be a problem."

Yin Daoyan also nodded, "That’s right. Although your cultivation is higher than ours, when it comes to Jianghu experience, I, as your master, have crossed more bridges than you’ve walked roads, and I am a Fourth Grade Alchemist."

Being an Alchemist is what Yin Daoyan is most proud of; one with skills will never starve, no matter where they go.

Zhong Lin secretly nodded as well. No matter which island, a Fourth Grade Alchemist would always be welcomed as a guest of honor. Among them, he worried the least about his master Yin Daoyan.

"In that case, I still suggest you travel with the Sect Master, as he can ensure your safety and you can collect cultivation resources together."

Yu Jinglei and Yin Daoyan exchanged a glance and also nodded. Indeed, traveling together was the best choice for them.

"Elder Yin, it looks like we can fight side by side once again," Yu Jinglei said with a smile.

"Haha, I must ask the Sect Master to take good care of me," Yin Daoyan also cupped his hands, a face full of smiles.

"The title of Sect Master is no longer appropriate; from now on, let us address each other as brothers."

"Very well, greetings, Brother Yu."

"Brother Yin."

Zhong Lin also laughed while watching the two elderly men jest, then waved his right hand, and a pile of Spirit Stones and Elixirs appeared on the ground.

"Master, these are the initial supplies I prepared for you. Included are a Breakthrough Pill to transcend to the Innate Realm, two Yellow Level cultivation techniques corresponding to your and the Sect Master’s attributes, several Fifth Grade elixir recipes, and the ingredients for concoction. With these, it should be sufficient for you two to establish yourselves on any island."

Yin Daoyan took the supplies without formality, naturally storing them all in his Storage Bracelet. They were gifts from his disciple, and there was no need to be polite.

"Sect Master, I have already prepared the Sea Expansion Pill for your breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm. Once your cultivation is ready, you can come to me anytime," Zhong Lin said to Yu Jinglei.

Yu Jinglei was filled with emotion, increasingly grateful that he agreed to Zhong Lin joining the Sword Cauldron Sect back then.

Being able to aid in achieving a breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm with the Sea Expansion Pill was certainly more valuable than the Breakthrough Pill.

Just as he was about to express his thanks, Yin Daoyan remarked with slight dissatisfaction, "Do you need to prepare this? Do you think your master is a vegetarian? A mere Sea Expansion Pill, soon I will be promoted to a Fifth Grade Alchemist and will be able to concoct it effortlessly."

Zhong Lin laughed and offered some flattery, knowing how to humor his master.

Lastly, Zhong Lin turned his gaze towards Shi Yunyi, who had remained silent.

"Junior Brother, you are a genius."

Those words instantly broke Shi Yunyi’s aloof demeanor as he looked at Zhong Lin with a perplexed gaze.

If I am a genius, then what are you?

Ignoring Shi Yunyi’s eyes, Zhong Lin continued, "You comprehended Sword Intent while still in the Postnatal Realm, a natural sword practitioner. Even in the Luoxing Islands, you are a genius among thousands. Do you recall what I told you? Cultivating Sword Intent is crucial for transcending to higher realms. So my suggestion for you is to go to the Seven Stars Sect.

The Seven Stars Sect is the most powerful sect in the Luoxing Islands, and the Sect Master is a nearly Xuandan Realm supreme expert. With your talent, you will surely become a True Disciple and receive focused training in the Seven Stars Sect. There, you may also find information about the Xuan Gui Continent and the descendants of Sin Blood, and further enhance your martial arts cultivation."

Yu Jinglei also stepped forward and patted Shi Yunyi’s shoulder, "Don’t feel pressured. Take a master if you need to; I’m not an old-fashioned person. As Zhong Lin said, you are a sword dao genius. Following me would only waste your potential."

"Master, it’s not..."

Shi Yunyi said anxiously.

"Alright, I know what you want to say; just remember you are a disciple of the Sword Cauldron Sect."

Shi Yunyi took a deep breath and, with a firm expression, stated, "I will forever be a disciple of the Sword Cauldron Sect."

Then he turned and looked at Zhong Lin, "Senior Brother, I’ll follow your advice."

"Good, in that case, I won’t provide you with resources. You will join the Seven Stars Sect as a wandering swordsman," Zhong Lin said.

After imparting some final instructions, Zhong Lin led the three out of the cave where the Transmission Array was located and parted ways in a secluded area.

"You have arranged everything clearly."

The figure of Chen Jia emerged from the Soul Nourishing Ring.

Watching the three depart, Zhong Lin said, "The seeds have been sown; now we wait for them to blossom and bear fruit."

With that, he soared into the sky, flying toward the Purple Cloud Sect.

"Zhong Lin, do not slack off in the coming two years; the Seven Star Secret Realm is about to open, and you must not miss it."

"Understood."

With Zhong Lin’s flying speed, he soon arrived at Purple Cloud City, descending and striding toward the city gates.

The gate guards saw Zhong Lin approach from the sky, recognizing him as a Transcendent Realm expert, and dared not neglect him, bowing their heads in salute.

Passersby on both sides hurriedly made way, not daring to obstruct him in the slightest.

Compared to the Xuan Gui Continent, this place values the law of the jungle more; as long as you are strong enough, you can do as you please.

Zhong Lin did not immediately return to the Purple Cloud Sect but instead wandered the streets with interest, buying some snacks from roadside stalls, enjoying them as he strolled.
