In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 320 Another treacherous subject is trying to harm me?
Laoshan Mountain, Taiqing Palace.

Xie Lingxin came into the forest carrying an axe.

Let's begin our day's work—cutting down trees!
"I want to learn how to become an immortal, to ride a crane and fly to the heavens..."

He habitually hummed a tune that was completely off-key.

Experience the wonder of felling trees.

What mysterious secrets could there be in cutting down trees?
That's huge.

Legend has it that the Realm of Realms is a good place to cultivate one's mind.

But I've never heard of anything that can directly improve physical cultivation in the legendary realm.

[Spirituality: 40.31 (↑10.13)]

【Fate: 141522.06/1000000 (↑40321.11) (Sixfold)】

During the past month or so, although he was in seclusion refining magical artifacts, he did not slack off in his cultivation at all.

On the contrary, it made quite rapid progress.

Firstly, it benefited from the royal power.

The second issue is cutting down trees.

With both combined, his life force can increase by thousands every day!

No wonder Bai Ruhui said that once his mind breaks through to a higher realm, cultivation will be much easier.

This is indeed the case.

In addition, he secretly learned Mingyu's Seven Emotions Formless Sword Qi. This martial arts technique is not only an unparalleled sword technique, but it is also a life cultivation technique that can greatly improve physical cultivation!
This technique will increase his efficiency by at least 20%!
Xie Lingxin felt a little guilty.

In the future, try not to use this invisible sword of emotions in public.

Even if you use it, you have to change its appearance.

After all, this is the foundation of a family's heritage.

Moreover, Mingyu came all the way to help, but he secretly learned kung fu from her; he's a bit naughty...

As for the spirit... just as he expected.

The growth of my spirituality seemed to have completely digested all the previous accumulations more than half a month ago.

It rose to 40, then plummeted.

It can only rise by about 0.02 per day.

However, according to his understanding, ordinary titled cultivators probably can't even increase their cultivation by 0.01 per day.

His progress is at least ten times that of ordinary cultivators.

Of course, this is only under the premise of no external assistance, relying purely on one's already advanced innate qualities.

Logically speaking, it's already quite fast.

However, he estimated that even with a divine object like the jade date as his aid, he still couldn't compare to someone with Chen Jinxin's superior innate talent.

Changing one's fundamental nature is a move that can alter one's destiny.

Few people in the world can do this, and even fewer can personally experience the differences between people with different innate qualities.

But Xie Lingxin sensed it.

After advancing to a superior level of innate talent, he became acutely aware of how terrifying this gap was.

Even if one's innate talent is only one level lower, it is still an insurmountable chasm!

Now, the only solace he can find is in physical cultivation.

However, once Chen Jinxin turns 18 and begins to cultivate his physical body, things may change.

Xie Lingxin still finds it hard to let go of the fact that Chen Jinxin left without saying goodbye.

I'm starting to get a little competitive.

Next time we meet, I absolutely cannot be weaker than her!
One axe, two axe blows, three axe blows...

He swung the axe again and again.

Although he tried his best to find out the mystery, he still couldn't sense anything.

After cutting down the trees, they returned to Taiqing Palace to listen to Liu Ruozhuo preach.

As the smoke curled upwards and the incense stick burned out, Liu Ruozhuo also stopped preaching.

Xie Lingxin couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, are you really not good at refining pills?"

He had asked this question many times during this period, but the answers he received were not ideal.

This time too.

Liu Ruozhu shook his head and laughed, "You, you, why are you still trying to take advantage of this old Taoist priest? I said I wouldn't, and I mean it."

He looked Xie Lingxin up and down: "Your cultivation speed is already far beyond that of ordinary people, let alone if you are more eager to speed things up?"

"Ugh……"

Xie Lingxin sighed: "Teacher, my aptitude is too poor. If I don't work hard and try every possible method, how can I catch up with those true prodigies?"

"..."

The whisk in Liu Ruozhuo's hand trembled slightly.

Even with his cultivation and self-restraint, he couldn't help but feel the urge to use this thing to whip Xie Lingxin.

You're born with a supreme and noble destiny, and you're still complaining?

“Innate talent is indeed the foundation of cultivation, but… never mind, today’s lesson is over, you should go now.”

Liu Ruozhuo waved his whisk to drive them away.

Xie Lingxin squatted down from the futon and came closer, grinning mischievously: "Teacher, what did you just say? 'But' what?"

Liu Ruozhuo closed his eyes: "You misheard."

"teacher!"

"go Go……"

Liu Ruozhu waved his whisk, and the next moment, Xie Lingxin found herself in Taiqing Palace.

hateful!

That old Taoist priest is dishonest!

I kept it to myself!
Xie Lingxin pondered and realized that she had no choice but to leave Taiqing Palace and exit the Laoshan Domain.

The spirit possesses the body.

Nothing happened all night.

The next day, many of the materials Xie Lingxin ordered online arrived.

He then decided to begin refining his second magical artifact—the Bone-Piercing Divine Fire Pearl—today!

But it was interrupted by a phone call.

After receiving the call, Xie Lingxin's expression darkened slightly.

Then I wanted to go out.

Suddenly, something flashed in my hand.

Xie Lingxin looked at her wrist.

He wore a string of beads on his wrist.

This was made by him using mermaid pearls. After removing the two he had used before and giving one to Shen Wen, he had thirteen left.

Originally, I wanted to study this thing to see if it could be refined into a magic weapon. But while following the book is good, I seem to be far from being able to "create" a magic weapon myself. I have no clue what to do.

This is why he kept pestering Liu Ruozhuo to ask.

He simply strung them together and wrapped them around his hand three times.

One of them was flickering unpredictably.

I was stunned.

Another treacherous subject is trying to harm me?
He had already witnessed how this thing could predict good or bad fortune.

Although clueless, they dared not ignore it. "Wangcai!"

With a call, Wangcai flew in from the yard.

Previously, it was sent to follow Lu Wan, but recently, Lu Wan seemed to have become wary and almost discovered it.

Xie Lingxin simply called it back.

"Come in."

Xie Lingxin gestured, and Wangcai let out a "woof," grew to the size of a fist, and crawled into his pocket.

She checked her belongings again, making sure she hadn't forgotten anything...

it should be no problem?

He just wanted to go to Leizu Temple. It's so close, what could possibly happen?

Thinking about it, I went out the door.

Just after he left the old compound.

A small, palm-sized black shadow darted out from the bushes.

Soon.

Then another shadowy figure appeared, slowly walking by.

"Amitabha……"

It seemed as if the faint sound of Buddhist chanting could be heard again.

……

Leizu Temple.

As soon as Xie Lingxin arrived, she saw a group of sanitation workers gathered in front of the temple.

"Your Highness."

Leng Lie and the others from the Tian Ce Mansion all greeted him in unison.

The environmental protection bureau staff, including Chu He, looked at him strangely.

Even though I've heard it many times, it still feels strange and awkward every time I see a group of scions of noble families bowing solemnly and addressing each other as "Your Highness."

What exactly are you guys trying to do?
Is he really going to gather a crowd to rebel and declare himself king?
Xie Lingxin had already seen a stretcher among the crowd, with a corpse lying on it.

Leng Lie said, "Your Highness, I apologize, I'm a step too late."

Xie Lingxin asked, puzzled, "What happened?"

He said coldly, "I've found some clues and identified people in the academy who may have become the target of the mastermind behind it all."

Goodness, you've already identified the victim in just one day, or even a victim who wasn't actually harmed?
Is it really that amazing?
Xie Lingxin didn't ask him how he did it; it was his skill that allowed him to do it.

Pointing to the corpse on the ground: "Is that him?"

Leng Lie nodded.

A sanitation worker nearby explained, "His name is Guo Xiaofeng. He is a first-year student at Qixing Academy. He is 19 years old and has a mental disability."

"Guo Xiaofeng?"

Xie Lingxin was startled.

He remembers all the students who have attended his classes clearly.

He quickly squatted down, lifted the white cloth, and revealed a round, ordinary face.

Sure enough it was him!

"Does Your Highness know him?"

Jin Yuan also squatted down out of curiosity.

He didn't actually care who died; that's why he was here.

I only wanted to come and see for myself after hearing that someone could kill someone with cold-blooded skill and disappear without a trace.

Xie Lingxin nodded: "They've taken my classes."

Jin Yuan, Ming Yu, and the others were all taken aback.

The former was more curious: "You're a teacher?"

He didn't know that.

Xie Lingxin pouted, too lazy to pay him any attention.

What kind of time is this? Can't you show some respect for the deceased?
Chao Lenglie asked, "Tell me?"

He said coldly, "He was already dead when I arrived."

"That person must have discovered me. He didn't originally intend to kill me, or at least not so quickly. He just didn't have time, so he struck first."

"His skin was unharmed, and his insides were undamaged, but his spirit seemed to have been hollowed out."

"With the first layer of the mind, one opens up one's own sea of ​​consciousness and condenses one's spiritual consciousness; all of these disappear."

"Gone?"

Xie Lingxin was puzzled; it was the first time he had ever heard of or seen such a thing.

How can the Dharma not be seen in things like the sea of ​​consciousness and the spirit of consciousness, which are inherently formless?
He said coldly, "You can interpret it as... being swallowed up."

"Is it a ghost?"

When Xie Lingxin first started cultivating, Jin Su told her that ghosts love to eat human hearts, not the heart itself, but the soul.

The purer the thought, the more I like it.

Leng Lie shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like it. Ghosts that eat hearts will always leave traces, just like when people eat food, there will always be some residue left behind."

"Captain Leng!"

Just then, a sanitation worker came in from outside, accompanied by another person: "We caught a suspicious fellow!"

Upon seeing Xie Lingxin, he quickly asked, "Deputy Steward Xie!"

Xie Lingxin nodded and pointed to the person next to him: "What's wrong with him?"

He actually recognized this person.

Ye Mengxiong was also his student.

The sanitation worker said, "That kid's been acting suspiciously outside; I wonder what he's up to."

"I'm not a bad person!"

Ye Mengxiong cried out urgently, "Teacher Xie, save me!"

Everyone looked at him.

You know them again?
Despite his young age, he has quite a few titles!
Xie Ling thought to herself, "Explain yourself first, what are you here for?"

"me……"

Ye Mengxiong suddenly saw the corpse in the crowd, paused for a moment, and then showed sadness on his face.

He cursed under his breath, "You brat, I told you long ago that woman wasn't a good person! You just wouldn't believe me, and now you've licked your own boots to death, haven't you?"

"What do you mean? Do you know who killed him?"

Xie Ling thought to herself.

"Teacher Xie, it was Xu Mengxuan who killed him! It must have been her!"

Ye Mengxiong shouted angrily.

"Xu Mengxuan?"

Xie Lingxin remembered that she had also attended his ancient scriptures class, but she was not in the ancient scriptures department; it was just an elective.

She seems to have a pure and innocent look, and is quite pretty and popular.

He remained noncommittal, saying, "Explain yourself first."

"Teacher Xie..."

Ye Mengxiong immediately told him everything he knew.
