And just right, I currently have some savings on me, enough to last for a while. If it's not enough, I'll figure something out then. With a strong figure presiding, having the Soul Enchanting Poison Marshal Dong WuMing in the Flying Spirit Sect, even the Ghost Martial Sect wouldn't dare to easily provoke the Flying Spirit Sect. Dealing with other forces around us should naturally not be a problem. All conditions are ripe, Li Lin has no reason not to do it. If this succeeds, the Flying Spirit Sect will monopolize the medicinal material market around us. It's not impossible, being close to the Misty Mountain Range, the Flying Spirit Sect has this advantage.

"Sect Leader, are you serious, really letting me do it?" Liu Yishou was immediately surprised, almost couldn't believe it.

"Yes, I'm letting you do it. I won't interfere lightly, and at the same time, I will have five elders assist you. The five elders cannot suppress you in this matter, you have the final say. But if you fail, I will kill you. If you succeed, you will be an elder of the Flying Spirit Sect," Li Lin said.

"Thank you, Sect Leader." Liu Yishou immediately knelt on the ground, the excitement in his heart can be imagined. He never thought he would have such a day to stand out.

"Get up, tomorrow is New Year's, start after the New Year," Li Lin said to Liu Yishou, then turned to Zhang Mingtao beside him and said, "Zhang Mingtao, assist Liu Yishou during this period."

"Yes, Sect Leader," Zhang Mingtao replied.

After the two left, Li Lin stood alone, pondering over many problems. If they monopolized the territory of the Misty Mountain Range, there would probably be many other troubles, the Ghost Martial Sect being one of them. But now, he couldn't manage so much. The Flying Spirit Sect must seize the opportunity to grow, and now is one of the paths.

"Your vision is indeed not bad, no wonder you kept that Liu Yishou," a deep voice said beside Li Lin. The Soul Enchanting Poison Marshal Dong WuMing silently arrived beside Li Lin.

"Elder Dong, you also think Liu Yishou is feasible?" Li Lin smiled slightly, then said to the Soul Enchanting Poison Marshal Dong WuMing.

"This person's cultivation talent is poor, but what he just said shows unique vision and cleverness. Perhaps he is indeed a talent. This is what they call, 'There's a way for the snake and a path for the rat,'" the Soul Enchanting Poison Marshal Dong WuMing lightly said.

"Yes, under the eyes of the Ghost Martial Sect, if my Flying Spirit Sect wants to grow, we have to find another path," Li Lin lightly said.

Then, an elder and a junior looked at each other and smiled, both revealing a sinister and cunning smile.

As such a day passed, the next day was New Year's. Li Lin, the Soul Enchanting Poison Marshal Dong WuMing, Hu NanSheng, and Chang Lei, two elders, all arrived at the main hall. The Flying Spirit Sect now has six to seven hundred disciples. Except for those stationed outside, all gathered in the main hall.

After a passionate casual talk, Li Lin distributed elixirs to every disciple according to their cultivation level, making all the disciples extremely excited. The welfare of the Flying Spirit Sect is exceptionally good now.

While everyone was lively celebrating the New Year, Li Lin quietly went to the cave's secret chamber behind the mountain to start closed-door cultivation.

Taking out the Spirit Jade Bed and sitting cross-legged, after swallowing another third-grade elixir, Li Lin began to regulate his breath. His injuries had not yet healed, and Li Lin planned to recover from his injuries first.

Moments later, a circle of faint yellow light enveloped Li Lin's body.

As time slowly passed, the next day, Liu Yishou, who had turned his fortunes around in the Flying Spirit Sect, began to get busy, carrying a large amount of gold coins on him.

After the New Year, the disciples of the Flying Spirit Sect also put effort into their cultivation, with no one slacking off.

Inside the cave's secret chamber, Li Lin stopped regulating his breath eight days later. His complexion was rosy, and after another eight days of healing, coupled with a fast recovery, his injuries had healed by eighty to ninety percent, no longer a big problem.

"Phew…"

After exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, Li Lin opened his eyes, his eyes flashing sharply.

"Soul Spirit Divine Liquid."

In Li Lin's hand, he now took out the Soul Spirit Divine Liquid. This time he planned to refine humanoid puppets. The elder of the JiuHua Sect was originally an eight-layer Martial Soul, which poses quite a difficulty in refining. Li Lin plans to make some breakthroughs in spiritual power before refining, so he would be more confident.

Gazing at the Soul Spirit Divine Liquid in his hand, even through the jade bottle, a violent energy aura faintly flowed. Li Lin considered whether to take two portions at once. One portion of Soul Spirit Divine Liquid is no longer dangerous to him now, able to be easily refined, and a single portion of Soul Spirit Divine Liquid also cannot make him directly break through a layer of cultivation. Taking two portions should be about right.

"Take it." Li Lin finally decided, gritting his teeth. At his current level of cultivation, he should be able to withstand the tremendous energy of two portions of Soul Spirit Divine Liquid.

"Gulp, gulp…"

After deciding, Li Lin did not hesitate anymore. He poured the 'Soul Spirit Divine Liquid' into his mouth and swallowed it, estimating the amount of two portions and immediately put away the jade bottle. There are still six portions of Soul Spirit Divine Liquid, and after taking two portions, there are only four portions left.

The two portions of Soul Spirit Divine Liquid were swallowed by Li Lin into his stomach. In an instant, the Soul Spirit Divine Liquid turned into a violently hot flow and spread out fiercely inside his body. This power, compared to the energy of one portion of Soul Spirit Divine Liquid, was undoubtedly several times stronger.

This vast energy flowed through Li Lin's meridians in his body and then directly rushed into the space in Li Lin's mind where spiritual power resided, immediately causing throbbing pains in the space of spiritual power in his brain.

Originally, one portion of Soul Spirit Divine Liquid, Li Lin could easily withstand, but the energy of two portions of Soul Spirit Divine Liquid is much more significant. The hot flow of two portions of Soul Spirit Divine Liquid, at this moment, is like countless fierce beasts rampaging in Li Lin's mind, charging and smashing, this terrifying power, Li Lin's mind space could not withstand for a while, intense sharp pains came again and again.

"Damn…"

Li Lin did not expect the energy of these two portions of Soul Spirit Divine Liquid to be so powerful. This violent energy is like the first time he took Soul Spirit Divine Liquid, seeming to be able to instantly destroy the space in his mind.

However, at this moment, it is also within Li Lin's range of resistance. After all, the space of spiritual power in his mind has strengthened a lot. Clenching his teeth tightly, firmly holding onto his mind, at the same time, hand seals condensed, sitting cross-legged on the Spirit Jade Bed, Li Lin quickly operated the Yin Yang Spirit Martial Art to refine this massive and terrifying energy, and a white translucent light circle also immediately enveloped around him.

Moments later, Li Lin entered the state of cultivation, slowly refining the violent energy in the space of spiritual power. This energy was refined very quickly, as long as a little was refined, it could be transformed into his own pure spiritual power.

At the same time, as the energy of the Soul Spirit Divine Liquid was refined, a trace of refined energy spread an invisible aura, passing through the space of spiritual power and reaching the depths of the mind, nourishing the increasingly condensed soul. Li Lin felt indescribably comfortable all over, vaguely feeling his soul strengthening, a delightful sensation.

As time slowly passed, although the energy transformed from two portions of Soul Spirit Divine Liquid was vast, Li Lin knew that he is now a third-layer Spirit Master, needing more spiritual power to break through.

Six days later, the transparent and invisible light circle around Li Lin began to thicken and shine brightly. At this moment, in his mind, Li Lin felt the space of spiritual power in his mind expanding and filling up, and the spiritual power continued to refine and irrigate.

Moments later, the vast spiritual power had already filled the space in his mind, reaching a point where it could no longer increase.

"Compress, break for me."

Li Lin shouted in his heart, hand seals suddenly began changing, and finally, he pressed down sharply. Immediately, there was a muffled sound in the space of spiritual power in his mind, a massive energy compressed and spread out.

"Boom!"

At the same time, Li Lin's body shone brightly, his aura climbing, the space of spiritual power in his mind instantly increased several times.

A tremendous invisible force rushed to the depths of the mind, the soul power rapidly strengthened at this moment, the approaching condensed soul power, at this time, became more substantial.

The aura climbed all the way up, as if breaking through a massive barrier, and then, between heaven and earth, an invisible energy began to enter Li Lin's body from the pores of his skin along with the aura, nourishing the soul power again at this moment.

The aura took a long time to stabilize, Li Lin exhaled a mouthful of turbid air from his body, and slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing like bright stars, which took a long time to recede into his eyes. At this moment, Li Lin's aura had reached the fourth-layer Spirit Master.

"Fourth-layer Spirit Master now, continue refining." Li Lin murmured with a lazy smile on his mouth, hand seals formed, continuing to refine the remaining energy of the Soul Spirit Divine Liquid in the space of spiritual power in his mind. After breaking through to the fourth-layer Spirit Master, there was still a small half of energy in the space of spiritual power in his mind that had not been refined.

As time once again slowly passed, in this cultivation, time also passed very quickly. Three days later, Li Lin exhaled another mouthful of turbid air and opened his eyes again, the energy of the Soul Spirit Divine Liquid in his mind had been completely refined, and his spiritual power level had reached the middle stage of the fourth-layer Spirit Master, still quite a bit away from the fifth-layer Spirit Master.

"It's time to refine this humanoid puppet." Li Lin looked at the elder of the JiuHua Sect on the ground. It's time to refine this humanoid puppet now. Directly using a corpse to refine a puppet is called a zombie puppet, and this person is just a vegetable, strictly speaking, not a dead person, which is much better than using a zombie puppet for refining.

Using a corpse to refine a puppet, the refining outcome would be significantly discounted. Generally speaking, a corpse of a first-layer Martial Soul cultivator, after being refined into a puppet, would have the strength of an eight or seven-layer Martial Warrior at best, which is already the best outcome. Generally speaking, reaching the strength of a fifth or sixth-layer Martial Warrior is already quite good.
