Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 57 - Sudden Encounter with an Enemy
A gust of white wind swept through the courtyard filled with corpses, taking away the gold and silver treasures, and also taking away the aura that belonged to someone.

Inside the rented courtyard, Lin Le and Qing Li were taking stock of their valuables, and they ate whatever they could find.

After taking inventory of the goods, Lin Le began to process the resources.

First, introspectively observe the inner landscape of your supernatural powers: Currently, you have 434 points of merit in the human realm, 6 points of merit in the earth realm, and 544 points of karma from killing.

'Humanity is used to boost morale, but I almost forgot to chant the incantation. I'll try to do it tonight when I have some free time. My killing karma is almost at 100 points; I'll do another slaughter later.'

Lin Le considered it for a moment and began to consume one Human Lotus Seed.

The first thing Lin Le comprehended was the power of slaughter and destruction. As he continued to fight, his understanding of the power of slaughter and destruction also grew with each battle.

This made Lin Le realize that he was probably most aligned with the momentum of slaughter and destruction, and from an investment perspective, it was natural to prioritize maximizing the momentum of slaughter and destruction.

As the lotus seeds evaporated, Lin Le entered a state of enlightenment, his mind entering a battlefield where his former enemies rose again, vying to take his life.

Lin Le simply sent them to their deaths with a blank expression.

After consuming two one-patterned human lotus seeds, Lin Le took a long time to recover and suppress the deathly stillness in his eyes.

The momentum of slaughter and destruction has been partially achieved!
As the lotus seeds evaporated, Lin Le fell into another moment of enlightenment, this time with the force of lightning.

Compared to fire, which he hadn't seen many times, lightning was something he contemplated daily in meditation, so his understanding of it was much deeper and he naturally comprehended lightning first.

After consuming two one-patterned human lotus seeds, Lin Le opened his eyes, and a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the blood-red sunset.

The power of lightning has been achieved, with minor success!
After glancing at the sky, Lin Le decided to wait a little longer.

Lin Le took out the low-grade spirit stone he had plundered, held it in his palm, and activated his Dao Guide. In an instant, the originally milky white stone turned grayish-brown, no different from an ordinary stone.

The spiritual energy introduced into Lin Le's body was refined into true qi in the blink of an eye, and all of it was introduced into the Spirit Platform Secret Realm to build the Three-Story Tower.

After absorbing more than a dozen spirit stones, the progress of the Three-Tier Tower was already more than one-fifth complete.

'I still need seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver in resources,' Lin Le thought to himself, before swallowing all the sorted pills as if they were candy.

Then he took the medicinal liquid refined from the Hun Tian Ling.

Lin Le refined it again, and by the time he finished refining it all, it was already past midnight.

The Lingtai Triple Stage is already more than halfway complete.

'After reaching the Great Perfection of Dao Guidance, the refining speed is much faster than before. In the past, it would have taken three or four days to digest these resources.'

Lin Le sighed inwardly, then, without bothering Qing Li, he climbed over the wall himself and went to Gao Shanyu's house first.

After reciting the Rebirth Mantra, Lin Le gained ten more points of merit, which confirmed that his maximum gain from killing again was probably only ten points.

'I'll have to find more mass graves and ghost towns in the future,' Lin Le thought to himself.

Then I went to the Hunshan Hall's residence, and after purification, I gained ten more points of Earthly Merit.

Finally, there's Xiang Lingfeng's house.

At this moment, the corpses in the mansion were neatly arranged. It was clear that the Xiang family had discovered that Xiang Lingfeng's family had been wiped out. However, it was already dusk when they discovered it, and the people below hurriedly cleaned up the mess and dared not tidy up any further, planning to come back at dawn the next day.

Lin Le stood in front of the corpse, chanting the Rebirth Mantra.

After finishing the recitation, he ignored the merits of entering the inner realm of supernatural powers and instead looked to the other side: "How long do you want to see?"

A young man slowly walked out, looking at Lin Le with a greedy expression: "Young man, what are you doing here!"

Unexpected! I thought I was just out to grab a bite to eat, but I never expected to encounter such a delicious medicinal herb with such abundant yang energy!
The young man was overjoyed. If he could eat the boy in front of him, he could enter the seventh level of the tower.

When Lin Le saw the young man come out, his expression changed and his body began to tremble.

"Are you scared?" the young man asked with a smile.

Lin Le stopped trembling, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "No, I'm excited, excited that I was able to find you so soon, Tu Shanling!"

He would never forget that face. It was that same face that had entered his home under the guise of exchanging poetry and literature. If it weren't for his father's extraordinary encounters, he would have been a pile of dust by now. "You know me?" Tu Shanling squinted. "I don't think I know you very well, young man."

"Really? Then let me introduce myself. I'm Lin Le, son of Lin Chang'an." Lin Le gripped his gun. "A month ago, you ate my parents' food. Have you forgotten so quickly?"

"Lin Chang'an?" Tu Shanling recalled, then suddenly realized, "It's that gentleman. I must say, your father's flesh is really tough, no wonder he has a wood spirit root."

"Then I hope your meat is a bit tougher." Lin Le grinned, his face contorted with rage, "That way, I can eat you for a little longer."

"You, a mere cultivator at the Second Level?" Tu Shanling paused after saying this. Second Level? It remembered that Lin Le was just an ordinary mortal who had never even practiced martial arts.

Just then, a golden light flew over and smashed towards Tu Shanling's head.

Tu Shanling didn't take it seriously and simply raised his hand to block.

Then, a loud cry of pain rang out in the silent night.

A three-zhang-long white fox appeared in front of Lin Le, but one of its front paws was dangling down, as it had been broken.

"What kind of magical artifact is this!" Tu Shanling looked at the golden light that flew back into Lin Le's hand, his eyes filled with apprehension.

It felt immense restraint from that magical artifact; its protective true qi was shattered with a single blow.

Lin Le remained silent, but took a step forward and exhaled a breath.

Whoosh!
The Yin-Yang Twin Swords, like arrows, pierced towards the top of Tushan Ridge and the heart.

Tu Shanling dared not underestimate Lin Le. Whether it was Lin Le's astonishing speed of progress or that strange magical artifact, it knew that if it didn't fight properly, it would also have to pay a heavy price.

As for death, Tu Shanling never thought of it. How could a six-story building lose to a two-story building?

It opened its mouth and exhaled, and a black wind howled, blowing towards the Yin-Yang Twin Swords that were being shot at it.

The Yin-Yang swords were suddenly stopped, swaying in the black wind.

Then it was caught by a red ribbon, and Lin Le arrived despite the black wind.

Golden light appeared on his body, shielding him from the black wind.

Break through the sky!

The spear flashed with lightning, slicing through the black wind, its sharp edge aimed directly at Tu Shanling's brow.

Its speed and sharpness were beyond anything Tu Shanling had ever imagined.

A drop of blood fell, and Tu Shanling looked at Lin Le with a gloomy expression. A wound was cut between his eyebrows, and the blood spread among his white hair.

At the critical moment, it managed to dodge the attack thanks to its innate teleportation ability; otherwise, it would have been seriously injured if not killed.

"Power!" Tu Shanling uttered a single word.

It finally understood how Xiang Lingfeng, a fourth-level cultivator, died. Cultivators who had comprehended the power were on completely different levels from those who hadn't.

Moreover, it could sense that Lin Le's mastery of the technique was quite high; it wasn't something he had just mastered, but rather that he was at least close to a minor level of proficiency.

Tu Shanling's voice was heavy as he growled:

"You're not Lin Le, who are you?!"

This level of comprehension is absolutely beyond the reach of a novice cultivator who has only been practicing for a little over a month.

"Lin Le!"

Lin Le took a step forward, and his spear thrust fiercely towards Tushan Ridge once again.

Please remember to read this on Monday, please.
