After my Daoist partners broke off their engagement, they pledged their loyalty to me!

Zhao Yishu was in a good mood because she had broken through to the first level of the Qi Gathering Realm in just seven days!

Those outer disciples from the same batch, whose cultivation talent was inferior to hers, hadn't broken through yet.

Unfortunately, cultivation resources are relatively scarce.

If she had more cultivation resources, her fourth-grade cultivation talent would definitely allow her to progress even faster.

She feels that her physical strength is much better now than before her breakthrough, and she can easily defeat her previous self.

She didn't continue cultivating, nor did she practice martial arts that involved attacking; instead, her first thought was to come to Jiang Lin to get revenge.

With his Qi Gathering Realm at its first level, dealing with Jiang Lin would be a piece of cake.

"What are you doing here again?" Seeing Zhao Yishu arrive again, Jiang Lin thought of the harsh words Zhou Long had said to him last time, and his gaze towards Zhao Yishu grew even colder.

Not only did Zhao Yishu want to abandon him, but her sycophantic boyfriend also came to cause him trouble. After sparring with him twice last time, he's back again in just a few days.

"Hehe, Jiang Lin, what am I doing here?" Zhao Yishu put her hands on her hips, looking at Jiang Lin with a smug expression, highlighting the aura of the first level of Qi Gathering Realm within her body.

"Guess why I'm here? I'm going to take back all the humiliation you inflicted on me before!"

As she spoke, Zhao Yishu reached out and grabbed Jiang Lin.

She was quickly taken aback.

Even after breaking through to the first level of the Qi Gathering Realm, she was still no match for Jiang Lin.

Neither of them practiced martial arts. There are natural differences in physique between men and women. Zhao Yishu was an outer disciple and did not mine like Jiang Lin to increase her strength.

Therefore, Jiang Lin easily countered her.

He pressed her against the wall, with Jiang Lin holding both of Zhao Yishu's hands behind her back, her body pressed tightly against him.

Their breaths were close together.

Jiang Lin's breath brushed against Zhao Yishu's ears, causing them and her face to turn red.

Feeling the familiar yet infuriating presence behind her, Zhao Yishu blinked rapidly, her voice trembling, "Jiang...Jiang Lin, what are you trying to do now!"

"What are you planning to do now?" Jiang Lin chuckled, forcefully grabbing Zhao Yishu's hands, which were clasped around her waist.

"Didn't you... guess it too?!"

As he spoke, Jiang Lin showed no mercy whatsoever.

This woman abandoned him after he discovered he had a fourth-grade cultivation talent, but now she's come to him again. Why not take this chaotic energy?

Half an hour later.

Zhao Yishu gritted her teeth and looked at Jiang Lin behind her, her tone full of disbelief: "Jiang Lin! How did you also advance to the first level of the Qi Gathering Realm?"

He was only at the first level of Qi Gathering Realm, yet he was still captured by Jiang Lin. Clearly, Jiang Lin had also broken through.

Seeing Zhao Yishu's expression, Jiang Lin stepped aside and said indifferently, "None of your business."

"you……"

Zhao Yishu wanted to cry but had no tears.

The plot shouldn't be going this way!

She has a fourth-grade cultivation talent, while Jiang Lin has a first-grade cultivation talent. How can Jiang Lin's cultivation progress be the same as hers?

Jiang Lin felt very satisfied looking at the furious Zhao Yishu. After having a good sparring match with Zhao Yishu, he felt both physically and mentally satisfied.

Chaotic Energy +10

Jiang Lin's heart stirred, and in his mind's eye, he saw that his chaotic energy had increased again.

Looking at Zhao Yishu, he sat down casually beside her and asked, "Zhao Yishu, although you have fourth-grade cultivation talent and automatically advanced to an outer disciple, your cultivation resources probably aren't that plentiful, right?"

"snort!"

"None of your business."

Zhao Yishu snorted coldly.

Unlike the menial disciples, outer disciples in the Qi Gathering Realm don't need to do hard labor and chores, but their cultivation resources are only ten spirit stones per month, which only increase slightly when their cultivation level is improved.

Apart from that, the only way to receive additional cultivation resources is by completing sect missions.

Seeing that Zhao Yishu ignored him, Jiang Lin wasn't annoyed. He smiled and said, "I was going to help you out since we've known each other for a while, but forget it, you can go now."

It's true that Zhao Yishu wanted to abandon him, but it's also true that she could obtain chaotic energy by sleeping with him.

Jiang Lin definitely wants to exploit her as much as possible.

Let her go like this? That's too easy on her.

Use cultivation resources to entice her and maximize her value!

Needless to say, as soon as Jiang Lin said this, Zhao Yishu immediately stopped in her tracks, her hand that was about to push open the door also halting.

Yeah, Jiang Lin is a piece of trash with only a first-grade cultivation talent. How come he can keep up with her in terms of cultivation level, even though she has a fourth-grade cultivation talent?

Jiang Lin definitely has cultivation resources!

And they have even more cultivation resources than she does!

As for where the resources come from, there's no need to think about it, because that's perfectly normal in a mine.

It's normal for a steward to reward a handyman disciple with a few spirit stones if he's in a good mood.

After all, this was a job that Jiang Lin had obtained by spending all his family fortune, so there must be some benefits to it.

"That Jiang Lin is truly despicable. He keeps good things hidden away; he must have been hiding them for a long time."

Zhao Yishu's mind raced: "I used to be his life partner, and he actually kept such an important thing from me. Luckily, we've already divorced and gone our separate ways."

Since she had already sparred closely with Jiang Lin, it wouldn't hurt for Zhao Yishu to get some cultivation resources from him!

Thinking of this, she turned around and looked at him with her beautiful eyes: "Jiang...Jiang Lin, do you have spirit stones?"

Jiang Lin glanced at her twice but didn't say anything.

"Jiang Lin, if you give me the spirit stones, I can forgive and forget the despicable things you did to me!"

"Sleazy things?" Jiang Lin said expressionlessly, "Zhao Yishu, I've given you your chance, get out!"

"No..." Zhao Yishu blushed, realizing her words were inappropriate. She took a deep breath, organized her thoughts, and asked again, "Tell me, how can I get spirit stones?"

"Sure, just come over and sleep with me every day." Jiang Lin made his request directly: "We've been married for several years, this is just interest you owe me, it's not an unreasonable request, is it?"

By maintaining a balance of Yin and Yang every day, you can accumulate 10 points of chaotic energy each day, so you're always prepared!

Seeing that Jiang Lin spoke so bluntly.

Zhao Yishu's expression kept changing.

But in the end, she made up her mind. Since she had lost her virginity anyway, there was no harm in sparring with Jiang Lin a little more!

She abandoned Jiang Lin because his cultivation talent was only at the first rank, but she never disliked his appearance.

and……

She's starting to get a taste for it, and sparring with Jiang Lin is indeed quite enjoyable...

He comforted himself in this way.

Zhao Yishu agreed.

However, the haggling went from once a day to twice a week, and in the end, they even forgot to ask how many spirit stones Jiang Lin could give before being sent away.

"Hey, it's better that you didn't ask." Jiang Lin was delighted.

There are still 20 points of Chaos Energy left, but there's no rush to use them. I'll use up the spirit stones in the Dao Furnace first.

Outside, after Zhao Yishu left, Zhou Long was still waiting for her at the mine entrance.

Seeing the blush and beads of sweat on Zhao Yishu's face, Zhou Long didn't think much of it. He assumed it was because Zhao Yishu had been traveling through the mine.

Looking at Zhao Yishu like this, Zhou Long felt a strong urge to hold her hand, but unfortunately, he hadn't even managed to do so yet.

He never expected this.

The goddess he was pursuing had already been given to him by Jiang Lin...

"Senior Brother Zhou, let's go." Zhao Yishu raised her hand, tucked her wind-blown hair behind her delicate ear, and smiled at Zhou Long.

"Okay, hehe."

Zhou Long was in a good mood because he had already arranged for someone to teach that ungrateful Jiang Lin a lesson.

If Jiang Lin were smart, he would definitely know what to do!

Then Junior Sister Zhao won't come looking for Jiang Lin anymore, and Zhou Long will have more opportunities to pursue Junior Sister Zhao!

……

The next morning, Jiang Lin went to the mine to mine spirit stones. He hadn't been there for several days, and it wouldn't be appropriate to stay away any longer.

As Jiang Lin was leaving with the spirit stones, a person next to him suddenly looked strange. A wisp of black appeared on his face and then spread all over his body.

"Ugh..."

"Bang!"

The basket containing the spirit stones fell to the ground, and the man was already convulsing. Black blood quickly flowed from his seven orifices, and he was clearly dying...

The people around quickly dispersed.

A foul stench emanated from the blood, and everyone covered their mouths and noses, their faces pale and ashamed, fearing that this might be their next day!

Jiang Lin watched silently.

He knew the person who had died.

This person has been mining spirit stones for seven years, and his quota of mined spirit stones is about to be filled. When the time comes, he will leave with a cultivation level of two Qi Gathering Realms and return to the mortal world, where he can live a fulfilling life.

But the result was...

This man's fate is also the future of many of the mine's handyman disciples. As everyone knows, this is because the toxins penetrated too deeply into the body, causing the poison to take effect prematurely.

No one spoke; the atmosphere simply grew heavier.

This further strengthened Jiang Lin's determination to resolve the toxins in his body ahead of schedule.

After handing over the spirit stones and taking the temporary antidote, Jiang Lin noticed that everyone was discussing the last-place elimination that Tang Yu had previously informed them about.

"I never imagined that even us menial disciples would have this bottom-ranking elimination system. Sigh, I don't want to be eliminated."

"If you don't want to be eliminated, you can only pray for good luck. Or if you have money, you can find someone to pull strings and spread the word that when you meet them in the real competition, they will admit defeat."

"If I had that kind of money, would I come here? And who would be so foolish as to lose more than they gain?"

"Waaah, everyone, I finally managed to become a menial disciple, I don't want to be eliminated!"

"If you ask me, being eliminated is fine too. I already regret activating my cultivation talent. The price of not having enough talent is too high. Being eliminated is a good way for me to go back to the secular world and live my old life."

Jiang Lin remained silent on the surface, but he actually listened to the discussions around him, especially those of the pretty female disciples, which he paid particular attention to.

After all, these are all "potential users" of his chaotic energy, so he can't be careless.

These people, like Jiang Lin, were all menial disciples who mined spirit stones at Mine No. 6.

At this moment, several deacons from Mine No. 6 arrived.

The stewards repeated what Tang Yu had said, and then encouraged everyone, saying that whoever could get into the top ten of the miscellaneous servant competition would be completely cured of the poison, directly promoted to an outer disciple, and obtain a new cultivation technique.

Even if you don't make it into the top ten, you might still get a surprise if you perform exceptionally well.

If you can get into the top three, there will be unexpected benefits, and you might even be valued by the sect elders!

As soon as the news came out, the mine workers' eyes lit up instantly, and they were all eager to try.

They don't want to fight if there's no benefit to it.

But now that there are benefits and an opportunity to completely eliminate toxins from the body, no one wants to miss it!

After the deacons left, Jiang Lin paid more attention to several female disciples who had beautiful figures and faces.

Suddenly, the figure of a rather burly young man came into Jiang Lin's view.

That guy was burly and had a scar on his face. This man was Zhou Peng, the mining team leader who managed the miscellaneous disciples of Mine No. 6 and the one who had beaten Jiang Lin before!

Zhou Peng stared at Jiang Lin for a moment, his eyes full of meaning. His cousin had specially arranged for him to teach Jiang Lin a lesson!

Jiang Lin and Zhou Peng locked eyes for a second, then Jiang Lin frowned, looked away, and quickly turned to leave.

When there is nothing else to do, disciples of the Refining Peak can leave the Refining Peak. There are many peaks in the Misty Holy Land, and the place he wants to go is the Alchemy Peak.

"Zhou Peng's eyes were malicious this week; I need to improve my skills quickly!"

Jiang Lin needs to make preparations in advance.

Absorbing spirit stones for cultivation is too slow.

He planned to find some discarded pills from the menial disciples of the Alchemy Peak, synthesize them using chaotic energy, and then consume them directly. His cultivation efficiency should be much better!

Like waste spirit stones, discarded pills retain some residual spiritual energy, making them a primary cultivation resource for the miscellaneous disciples of the Alchemy Peak.

No one cares if the menial disciples trade these useless items that the outer disciples don't need.

Having spiritual power alone is not enough.

I need to practice martial arts.

Only with martial arts skills can one better release spiritual energy.

As for where the handymen disciples would find martial arts training?

Trading Marketplace!

As long as you have the resources, you won't have trouble acquiring martial arts techniques.

Oh, and by the way, see if you can get your hands on a magic pill to get rid of the toxins in your body. Jiang Lin doesn't want to end up like that person bleeding from all seven orifices!
