Li Wushuang showed a hint of shyness as she emerged from Li Lin's embrace and said, "How come you're here, you girl."

"Your cultivation strength seems to have increased quite a bit." Li Lin looked at Yun Hongling's aura with surprise. It had only been a month, and Yun Hongling had been on the verge of the Second Level Martial General, but now, judging from her aura, she had reached the peak of the Second Level Martial General. This progress was absolutely rapid.

"My father sent me to tell the little thief that we are leaving for Tianjian City tomorrow and asked the little thief to prepare." Yun Hongling looked at Li Lin and said.

"I got it," Li Lin said lightly, noting that the time was about right.

Then, the two women stayed on the mountain peak for several hours. Li Lin finally felt at ease as the two women got along well without any jealousy. Even the capricious Yun Hongling seemed to become generous. Li Lin felt that the two women must have reached some sort of understanding.

After the two women left, it was already evening. The setting sun shone on the snow-covered peaks, reflecting a glow across the sky.

"Li Lin, the three women around you are all very beautiful," said Bai Ling, the Nine-Tailed Fox who had transformed into a human form, with her enchanting eyes smiling lightly at Li Lin.

Li Lin chuckled and gazed at Bai Ling, "You are even more beautiful. I doubt there is anyone in this world more beautiful than you."

"Is that so…" Bai Ling smiled charmingly, obviously very pleased with Li Lin's words.

"Bai Ling, we can leave here tomorrow," Li Lin said. "I wonder if your true body's aura concealment will be noticed by the powerful?"

"My cultivation should have reached the eighth level. Unless it's a Martial Sovereign or Spirit Sovereign, my aura should not be detectable," Bai Ling's beautiful eyes shone, "I can finally go out and see the world."

"That's good, then I'll have to trouble you to revert to your true form and follow me," Li Lin said lightly.

"No problem, I'll be following you for five years anyway, and besides, I have Little dragon for company," Bai Ling smiled slightly, with Little dragon quickly moving to her side.

In the room, Li Lin sat cross-legged, preparing for departure tomorrow. After the three sects and four schools' conference, if he could obtain the ten-thousand-year-old red copper, he would be able to leave the Yunyang Sect.

"Eh."

Just as Li Lin was organizing the demon pills in his spatial bag, he was suddenly surprised.

In the spatial bag, he had obtained dozens of demon pills from a secret place and hadn't had the chance to transfer them to his storage ring yet. He had originally thought of using the power of these demon pills to break through to the Martial General level, but now that he had already made the breakthrough, the demon pills, being of the fourth level, wouldn't be of much use.

What surprised Li Lin was that, while organizing the spatial bag, he saw the yellow knife he had obtained from the ancient ruins last time.

This knife was only the size of a thumb, originally with a somewhat dark yellow color, but now, for some reason, it was emanating a hint of crimson. This color, with a rich bloody scent, made one feel a bit uneasy.

"How could this be." Li Lin picked up the knife and examined it closely, noticing that the knife was emitting a faint energy.

Frowning, Li Lin felt that this knife was not ordinary and began to probe it with his mind.

This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

"Chi!"

Just as his consciousness entered the knife, a crimson color flowed on the knife, suddenly turning into a dazzling yellow and red light that burst into Li Lin's forehead.

"Not good." Li Lin murmured to himself, but it was too late. The knife turned into a streak of yellow and red light, like lightning, breaking through his forehead and entering his mind.

"How could this be." Li Lin's face changed drastically, suddenly feeling a golden knife recondensing in his mind, directly rushing towards the soul pill in his mind.

The soul pill was undoubtedly a very important thing for him. Any damage to it could bring fatal harm.

"Stop." Li Lin inhaled sharply in shock, forming hand seals, and a vast spiritual power suddenly surged in his mind, turning into a huge tornado vortex, instantly blocking the path of the golden knife.

"Chi chi." At that moment, to Li Lin's surprise, the golden knife extended a blade aura hundreds of meters long, like a strike from the heavens, thunderously splitting the spiritual power vortex in two.

"Pfft!"

Li Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, severely damaged by the spiritual power, feeling a sharp pain in his mind.

"Damn." At this moment, Li Lin had no time to care about his injuries. His hand seals changed again, and the soul pill in his mind rapidly spun, with soul power bursting out.

"Soul Condensation." Li Lin silently commanded, and soul power suddenly condensed into a giant white tiger hundreds of meters large in his mind, exerting an invisible pressure. The white tiger pounced towards the golden blade aura, its claws tearing through space, creating a dazzling light.

Soul Condensation, something Li Lin couldn't do at the spirit level, but now, after the nourishment and breakthrough provided by the Martial Spirit Holy Fruit, he was able to condense a soul entity.

This huge white tiger was a tangible entity condensed by Li Lin's soul in his mind, a test of the soul's strength. Generally, a spirit general could condense weapons or other objects, even small beast shapes, but condensing such a huge tiger shape was not something an ordinary first-level spirit general could do.

"Shoo shoo…"

As the giant white tiger's claw tore through space, the golden knife suddenly burst out with a vast blade aura again, silently cutting through the void and striking the huge body of the white tiger.

"Boom!"

Li Lin suddenly felt dizzy, the soul-condensed beast-shaped white tiger split into two in an instant.

"Shoo shoo!"

The blade aura did not dissipate but continued to rampage, striking the spinning soul pill heavily.

"Boom boom…"

The transparent soul pill instantly shattered, turning into scattered soul power.

"Pfft…"

Li Lin spat out a large mouthful of blood mist and fell onto the bed. With the soul pill shattered, Li Lin's last vision flashed through his mind: his mother, Li Wushuang, Du Gu Jingwen, Yun Hongling's figures flashed by, and he lost consciousness.

"Boss…" Little dragon shouted loudly, and a yellow light instantly rushed into the room, followed by a stunningly beautiful white figure arriving beside Li Lin.

"Bai Ling sister, I feel like the boss has been severely injured. Please check on him," Little dragon said anxiously, looking up at Bai Ling.

With a serious look, Bai Ling was carefully examining Li Lin, her hand seals slightly changing, and a light from her forehead entered Li Lin's.

"Chi!" In an instant, a violent fluctuation filled the space. As soon as Bai Ling's light touched Li Lin's forehead, it was struck by a tremendous force.

"Thud thud…"

Even with Bai Ling's strength, she staggered back several steps, hitting the wall before stabilizing her delicate body, her face turning pale with shock.

"Such a dense bloody and evil aura." Bai Ling's face turned slightly pale, her eyes filled with horror as she looked at Li Lin.

"Bai Ling sister, how is he?" Little dragon anxiously asked.

"There's a tremendous power inside him that even I can't penetrate," Bai Ling exclaimed. "I feel like I've sensed this power somewhere before, but I can't remember where."

"What should we do? The boss is injured. Boss, you can't have anything happen to you," Little dragon said loudly beside Li Lin, his anxious little eyes constantly moving.

"He's not in danger for now. I just sensed that his aura hasn't changed. Let's wait and see," Bai Ling said gravely to Little dragon.

At this moment, Li Lin was unconscious, unaware of everything happening in his mind. Just before he passed out, Li Lin only saw his soul pill shattering and dispersing. A shattered soul pill meant certain death, so Li Lin was in despair, as nothing could be more despairing than a shattered soul pill.

However, Li Lin didn't see that as the soul pill shattered and dispersed, even the soul-condensed white tiger split by the knife also started to dissipate into countless fragments. Invisibly, on the golden knife, there was a force like a huge invisible net, with countless fine threads in the net, connecting the scattered soul pill and soul fragments together.

These soul fragments began to slowly be drawn towards the yellow knife. The golden knife seemed to possess an invisible energy that completely gathered these soul fragments back together, condensing them into a soul pill.

The soul pill was intact, with fine strands of light moving on it. In the blink of an eye, on the soul pill, there were fine strands of soul energy connecting to the golden knife.
