Mortal Cultivator: Lin Tianzun

Chapter 190 Chu Shishi, Beautiful Rebirth
Seeing Lin Fan sit down, Fairy Zi Ling smiled and said, "Husband, I'll go brew you and Sister Yuan Yao a pot of spiritual tea. Please sit for a while." With that, she gracefully turned and left.

Before long, Fairy Ziling came in carrying a tray with a pot of spiritual tea and several exquisite jade cups.

Even from a distance, Lin Fan could smell the rich aroma of tea, as if it were lingering around his nose.

Zi Ling first poured a cup for Lin Fan, her movements gentle, as if afraid of spilling a single drop. Then she poured one for Yuan Yao, and then said with a smile:

"Please, my husband and sister, have a taste of this pot of Jade Spirit Tea. This tea is made from the leaves of a bamboo called 'Clear Sound Bamboo,' and then nurtured by the body of a female disciple who possesses the fragrance of a virgin."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao's cheeks flushed instantly, and she thought to herself, "Is this Miaoyin Sect a legitimate sect? How come they have this kind of spiritual tea? This is too..."

She secretly glanced at Lin Fan, then quickly lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes.

Lin Fan, however, remained calm and composed, picking up his cup and taking a small sip.

Upon tasting the tea, one first experiences a refreshing sensation, followed by a unique aroma that permeates the senses and soothes the soul. Most remarkably, it also brings clarity to the mind.

He nodded slightly and said, "This spiritual tea is quite good. Sister Yuan Yao, why don't you try it?" After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took another sip.

Lin Fan, Yuan Yao, and Zi Ling chatted happily, and time passed quietly in this relaxed and pleasant conversation.

Before we knew it, the sun was slowly moving westward, and the daytime was fleeting. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the exquisite window frames, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground.

Just then, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from not far away.

Sure enough, not long after, a woman dressed in purple walked over gracefully.

She had a full and sexy figure, with a plump body. Her long, snow-white legs, visible beneath her brocade robe, were particularly eye-catching. Her waist was slender and delicate, and every movement perfectly outlined her beautiful curves. Every gesture exuded charm.

Behind her followed another woman. Although this woman did not look the same as Nangong Wan, her temperament was somewhat similar. Upon first meeting her, she gave people a strange feeling of déjà vu, making people unable to help but take a second look.

The two stepped into the hall, bowed slightly, and said in clear voices, "Fan Jingmei greets the Sect Master. May I ask what brings you here?"

"Zhuo Ruting greets the Sect Leader. Is there something to announce that you have summoned us?"

After saying that, they stood quietly, their eyes fixed on Fairy Ziling, full of anticipation and a little apprehensive, waiting for her to speak.

Fairy Ziling moved gracefully to Lin Fan's side, raised her hand in an elegant gesture of introduction, and said with a smile:
"Let me introduce you. This man sitting in the head seat is named Lin Fan, a Nascent Soul cultivator, and also my husband. From now on, all affairs of the Miaoyin Sect will be handled according to my husband's orders. Do either of you have any objections?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly casually glancing at Fan Jingmei and Zhuo Ruting, but in reality, she was scrutinizing them.

Upon hearing this, Fan Jingmei and Zhuo Ruting's pretty faces instantly paled, their shock evident in their expressions. Their beautiful eyes couldn't help but turn to Lin Fan, who was sitting in the head seat.

In that instant, an overwhelming pressure suddenly rose in the hall. Lin Fan casually glanced at Fan Jingmei and Zhuo Ruting.

In an instant, it was as if the two women had been stripped naked, completely exposed. The intense sense of exposure made their scalps tingle, and it felt as if Lin Fan could see right through their internal organs.

With a "whoosh," an immense pressure descended like a tidal wave, causing the two men's legs to buckle and they to kneel heavily on the ground. Cold sweat had soaked their backs without them even realizing it, and each breath they took was accompanied by trembling.

Fan Jingmei and Zhuo Ruting were terrified and filled with fear.

Although they had no idea where Zi Ling had found such a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage, they knew in their hearts that now was not the time to dwell on such things.

Almost reflexively, the two hurriedly and respectfully replied, "We leave everything to the Sect Master and Senior; we have no ulterior motives!"

After saying that, he lowered his head heavily, almost touching the ground, and his body trembled slightly.

Clearly, Lin Fan's display of strength had completely stunned them. At this moment, they were terrified and dared not utter a sound.

Seeing their reactions, Fairy Ziling's expression was full of satisfaction. A slight smile played on her lips as she leisurely gave the order:

"Now, you two should immediately begin gathering all the female disciples in the sect who possess true spiritual roots. Whether they have three or two spiritual roots, as long as they are under thirty years old, they are all to be gathered. Have them all assemble here in three days."

"As ordered!"

The two men's voices trembled as they hurriedly and respectfully responded. Then they slowly rose, moving cautiously as if afraid of making any more mistakes. They walked backward step by step until they were out of the hall, at which point they dared to turn around and leave quickly.

"My husband, how did I handle this matter?"

Zi Ling Fairy's eyebrows curved into crescents, her eyes filled with anticipation as she stared intently at Lin Fan, hoping to receive praise from her beloved.

Lin Fan's lips curled into an approving smile as he nodded and said, "Not bad. It seems you do have some management talent. Keep up the good work. With your husband around, it's not impossible for Miaoyin Sect to become a top-tier power like the Six Palaces or the Four Great Merchant Alliances!"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Ziling blushed with excitement, her eyes sparkling. But after a moment, her expression dimmed, and her voice was filled with worry: "Husband, is it true? But..."

She sighed softly, "With my already less-than-ideal aptitude, if I were to be distracted by managing the sect, I'm afraid I'd never have the chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage in my lifetime." As she spoke, she lowered her eyes, her heart filled with entanglement and helplessness.

Lin Fan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to comfort her. He simply patted her shoulder gently to reassure her.

Time flies, and the three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Lin Fan naturally didn't just wait around. Whenever he had a spare moment, he would get intimate with Zi Ling and Yuan Yao, enjoying their tender and romantic moments. The three of them naturally became more familiar with each other.

"..."

Footsteps sounded one after another, and soon Fan Jingmei and Zhuo Ruting led seventy or eighty young women in single file.

Most of these women were between fifteen and twenty-five years old, with only a few around thirty. They were all beautiful and graceful, and when they stood together, they were like a stunning painting.

The crowd stood in neat rows, but their expressions varied. Some looked curious, their eyes sparkling with curiosity; others remained calm, as if they were already used to such a scene.

"Sect Master, all the disciples who meet the requirements have been brought here." Fan Jingmei bowed respectfully, her voice clear and crisp. Zi Ling nodded slightly, a gentle smile on her face: "Thank you both for your hard work."

Immediately, she moved gracefully, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the group of female disciples before her, and said, "This sect leader intends to take one of you as her personal disciple..."

Before he could finish speaking, a slight commotion arose below. The female disciples whispered among themselves, their eyes filled with anticipation and excitement, all hoping to be the lucky one to win the sect leader's favor.

"..."

A month passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Fairy Ziling led a female disciple named Chu Shishi into Lin Fan's cave.

During this month, Lin Fan met with Li Ling'er, Fairy Ni Chang, Chen Qiaoqian, and Qin Xian'er.

He had mined a lot of spirit stones from Biling Island, and now he was being generous, giving each person a thousand mid-grade spirit stones. He also instructed, "Each of you go and buy a few extra-large storage bags, and purchase a batch of cultivation resources. Then we will all go to Biling Island together."

"..."

At this moment, Lin Fan turned his gaze to Yuan Yao and asked seriously, "Are you all ready? If there are no problems, we will begin the possession in a moment."

Yuan Yao nodded gently, her eyes filled with gratitude, and said softly, "Thank you so much for your help, husband. My soul power has recovered by more than half. Now, possessing a Qi Refining cultivator should not be a problem."

It turned out that during this month, Lin Fan took out a thousand-year-old "Soul-Nourishing Grass" and fed it to Yanli's soul.

This "Soul-Nourishing Grass" truly lives up to its reputation as a rare treasure. Yanli's soul power has been greatly restored, and with the nourishment from the Soul-Nourishing Wood in Yuan Yao's hands, Yanli's soul is now in very good condition.

Chu Shishi comes from a small family and has just turned sixteen this year. She has the aptitude of three spiritual roots and is a newly recruited disciple of the Miaoyin Sect this year.

She has two younger sisters and a younger brother, but unfortunately, her siblings' abilities vary.

Her two younger sisters have the aptitude of four spiritual roots, while her younger brother, like her, has the aptitude of three spiritual roots.

To persuade Chu Shishi to willingly give up her life and provide Yanli with the opportunity to possess her body, Fairy Ziling offered generous terms: three Foundation Establishment Pills and a promise to take her two younger sisters and brother into the Miaoyin Sect. Under such temptation, Chu Shishi ultimately agreed.

In fact, the principle behind the entire possession is not complicated. Chu Shishi only needs to drink the "Soul-Dispersing Soup," and after drinking it, her soul will gradually dissipate over forty-nine days.

During this period, she still has a chance to enter reincarnation, and what Yanli needs to do is take advantage of this opportunity to possess Chu Shishi's body.

When Lin Fan saw Fairy Zi Ling walk in, followed by Chu Shi Shi, he knew that the matter had been settled.

He then raised his hand and patted his storage bag, taking out a milky white jade bottle. With a "snap," he uncorked the bottle and handed it to Chu Shishi, saying gently, "Drink this, and you won't feel any pain. Don't worry, we'll take good care of your younger brother and sister."

Chu Shishi hesitated slightly, her expression filled with sorrow, before slowly reaching out to take the jade bottle. Inside lay half a bottle of dark green liquid, a pungent odor wafting from it, causing her to wrinkle her nose involuntarily.

She took one last, reluctant look at everything around her, as if trying to imprint the image of this world deeply into her mind. Then, with a determined bite, she tilted her head back and drank the "soul-dispersing soup" in one gulp.

Before long, the effects of the drug took hold. Her eyes gradually became unfocused, and she lost consciousness, her body swaying precariously. Fairy Ziling reacted quickly, rushing forward to support her and then carefully carrying her body into a stone chamber to settle her down.

Time slipped by quietly, and in the blink of an eye, forty-nine days had passed.

On this day, Lin Fan, Yuan Yao, and Fairy Zi Ling all stood in the stone chamber with solemn and slightly nervous expressions.

Yuan Yao took out a black wooden box from her bosom. Her movements were gentle and slow, with a hint of reverence, as she tenderly opened the lid.

With a "whoosh," a ball of dark green light flew out of the wooden box and hovered in the air for a few moments.

Cultivators all possess spiritual eyes, enabling them to clearly see the exact shape of the ball of light. It was a beautiful woman in her early twenties, with a charming and beautiful face and a graceful figure; she was truly a rare beauty in the world.

Just as everyone was watching, the ball of light suddenly flew towards Chu Shishi on the bed and entered her body in the blink of an eye.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Chu Shishi, who had been lying quietly, moved her fingers slightly, then slowly raised her arms and moved her feet as well.

Soon, she sat up, then stood up, got off the bed, and began to move around. She waved her hands and moved her wrists; she kicked her feet, a look of curiosity on her face.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter echoed in the stone chamber: "Did I really succeed in possessing someone?" The voice was full of disbelief and surprise, with a hint of uncertainty about the situation.

Yuan Yao had been waiting anxiously on the side. Upon seeing this scene, she immediately ran forward, her eyes reddening and her voice trembling: "Senior Sister, you finally..." Before she could finish speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, and she was so moved that she couldn't stop crying.

Upon hearing this, Yanli finally shifted her gaze from her new body to Yuan Yao, who was already in tears. A hint of pity and emotion flashed in her eyes as she softly said, "Junior sister, you've had a hard time all these years." With that, she stretched out her arms, her movements gentle yet powerful, and steadily embraced Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao leaned against Yan Li's chest, tears streaming down her face. Over the years, she had made countless efforts and endured countless hardships in order to give her senior sister a chance to possess another body and be reborn. Now that her senior sister had finally succeeded, all the grievances, exhaustion and joy intertwined, leaving her speechless for a moment.

The two embraced each other for a long time without separating. The stone chamber was extremely quiet for a moment, with only Yuan Yao's soft sobs, as if telling the story of the hardships they had endured over the years.

"..."

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, three months have passed.

During this time, Yanli had completely adapted to Chu Shishi's body, and the two had become a perfect fusion.

She is currently immersed in seclusion and arduous cultivation, single-mindedly hoping to establish her foundation and form her core as soon as possible, so as to advance towards a higher realm.

Yuan Yao was filled with gratitude for Lin Fan's immense help in Yan Li's possession of her body. To express her thanks, she insisted on spending a whole month with Lin Fan, allowing him to enjoy all the pleasures of love.

Fairy Ziling is also in seclusion, focusing all her efforts on breaking through to the Core Formation stage. Previously, although she had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, she lacked sufficient resources and could only seek opportunities everywhere.

But now, following Lin Fan, the situation is completely different. Not only does she have the precious "Heavenly Fire Liquid" and "Snow Spirit Water" to aid her breakthrough, she has even obtained a "Breakthrough Pill." With these assistances, the success rate of this breakthrough should be quite high.

Lin Fan, meanwhile, was focused on refining the Azure Bead, formed from the Azure Ice Flame. Once he successfully refined the bead, he would be able to cultivate the Tongbao Technique. At that time, with the help of the Void Heaven Cauldron, he would be able to travel freely throughout the world!
