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

After Wu Meier escaped.

The area around the Spirit Essence Pool returned to calm.

Jiang Lin sat cross-legged.

All external disturbances are eliminated.

He closed his eyes, focused his mind on his body, and began to absorb the pure energy in the Spirit Marrow Pool with all his might.

At this moment, the lightning-attribute Yuan Dan was slowly rotating in his dantian.

The surface of Yuan Dan.

The first massive crack that pierced through the Yuan Dan was being washed away and nourished by the continuous influx of spiritual energy.

The once unstable and violent lightning power at the edge of the crack is gradually becoming gentle and restrained.

Jiang Lin could clearly sense it.

As the first crack stabilized, his control over the lightning elemental power became increasingly adept.

Each flow of spiritual energy.

Everything was smoother and faster than ever before.

After the first crack was completely stabilized, the surging spiritual energy did not stop, but continued to impact other parts of the Yuan Dan like rivers flowing into the sea.

click-

A slight, crisp sound.

The sound resonated deep within Jiang Lin's dantian.

On the Yuan Dan, diagonally opposite the first crack, a second, fine crack was slowly being stretched open!

This new crack is deeper than the first one, and the lightning power it contains is even more violent.

Jiang Lin was not surprised but rather pleased.

This is a sign of a breakthrough!

He immediately channeled his immense spiritual energy into the new crack, attempting to stabilize it quickly.

Time slipped away quietly in this tedious yet anticipated period of cultivation.

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In these two months.

The tranquility of the Spirit Essence Pool has been broken several times.

Whether it was the escaped mid-stage Qi Sea Realm man who leaked the information, or the energy fluctuations of the Spirit Marrow Pool were too astonishing, many cultivators found their way to this place.

When they saw Jiang Lin and the others in the Spirit Essence Pool, they all revealed greedy eyes.

However, without exception, these fools who didn't know their own mortality all became victims of Jiang Lin and his group's swords.

And don't forget, there's also Lin Yueshuang in the Spirit Essence Pool, wielding a high-grade Xuan-level spiritual treasure!

Therefore, the attackers were all dealt with easily, and not even a scream could be heard far.

With each battle...

The aura of Jiang Lin and the other three.

It is also undergoing tremendous changes.

This day.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth above the Spirit Marrow Pool suddenly became violent, surging wildly into Jiang Lin's body.

The lightning surrounding him gradually changed from light blue to deep blue, radiating a chilling aura.

This aura far surpasses that of other Yuan Dan realm cultivators!

The second crack on the Thunderous Yuan Dan within the dantian was finally completely stabilized.

The two cracks complement each other.

Although the size of the Yuan Dan did not increase, the energy contained within it more than doubled compared to before!

"Mid-stage Yuan Dan realm, achieved!"

Jiang Lin slowly opened his eyes.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he felt the surge of power within him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He could sense it.

At this moment, I am confident that I can fight even a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Qi Sea Realm!

At the same time, Tao Yi and Zhang Lengyu, who were standing next to her, also opened their eyes one after another.

Tao Yi's aura was calm and powerful, indicating that she had successfully broken through to the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm.

Zhang Lengyu is even more terrifying.

The chill emanating from her body almost froze the space around her, and a wave of ice spiritual power several times stronger than before spread out. She had actually broken through from the early stage of the Qi Sea Realm to the middle stage of the Qi Sea Realm in one fell swoop!

Only Ling Xue.

Although his aura was more condensed than before, he did not break through; he merely refined his early-stage Qi Sea Realm cultivation to a more refined and solid level.

The four of them had greatly increased their strength. They looked at each other and saw joy and confidence in each other's eyes.

Jiang Lin glanced around and found that only the four of them remained by the Spirit Essence Pool.

Lin Yueshuang had quietly left sometime earlier.

Jiang Lin didn't care about her departure.

That woman is incredibly powerful and possesses a high-grade Xuan-level spiritual treasure; she's far too dangerous.

He and she were just strangers who met by chance.

It's okay to leave.

"Master, what should we do next?" Tao Yi asked respectfully.

Jiang Lin looked out of the Spirit Marrow Pool and laughed, "I wonder if Wu Meier is still there. We should go and 'invite' her out."

"However, before that..."

"Let's do something else first."

Tao Yi was intelligent and understood Jiang Lin's meaning. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she bowed, saying, "Master, this servant will go and keep watch around the area."

After saying that, she turned around, transformed into a black shadow, and disappeared silently into the dense forest at the mouth of the valley.

Only Jiang Lin, Ling Xue, and Zhang Lengyu remained by the Spirit Essence Pool.

Ling Xue and Zhang Lengyu both blushed and lowered their heads, not daring to meet Jiang Lin's gaze.

Jiang Lin's meaning was simple: having spent so much time in the Spirit Marrow Pool, it was time to focus on dual cultivation.

As a female slave to her master.

This is their duty.

But, in broad daylight...

Jiang Lin looked at their shy appearance and felt no pity for them.

He simply waved to the two of them.

Ling Xue and Zhang Lengyu trembled, gritted their teeth, and walked with slightly stiff steps to Jiang Lin, where they knelt down gracefully.

Jiang Lin reached out and gently lifted Zhang Lengyu's chin, feeling the cool, smooth touch of his fingertips: "Which of you two wants to go first?"

"Master, let me go first..." Zhang Lengyu dared not resist, letting Jiang Lin's hands do whatever he wanted to her, her cheeks flushed red as if they were about to bleed.

"You're quite a contrast." Jiang Lin looked at Zhang Lengyu, still savoring the experience of dual cultivation of lightning under the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree.

This woman wasn't like this at first.

Although he had enslaved her, she still retained her original personality and appearance, but she could no longer resist his will.

In other words, this is the true face of the female prodigy ranked ninety-sixth on the Northern Prodigy List!

"Then you can go first."

"Yes, Master~"

Jiang Lin nodded in satisfaction, his gaze falling on the crystal-clear Spirit Marrow Pool.

"Let's go right down here."

"I haven't experienced dual cultivation under the pool yet."

Before he finished speaking, a powerful spiritual force enveloped Zhang Lengyu, carrying her directly to the bottom of the Spirit Marrow Pool.

Ling Xue was left on the shore. She watched the two people sink to the bottom of the water, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

There was a mix of envy and nervousness.

……

At the bottom of the Spirit Marrow Pool, although the Spirit Marrow energy is gone, the spiritual energy here is still more concentrated than outside.

Jiang Lin pressed down on Zhang Lengyu, circulating his internal energy and harmonizing yin and yang at the bottom of the pool. Zhang Lengyu also circulated her internal energy, and both of them emitted a faint light.

The pure ice spiritual power within Zhang Lengyu's body surged wildly into Jiang Lin's body, like a flood finding an outlet.

It circulates within Jiang Lin's body before feeding back to Zhang Lengyu, refining her flesh and blood and dantian.

Moreover, Jiang Lin is a mid-level lightning spirit body, and the energy he receives carries the paralyzing effect of lightning spirit power.

For Zhang Lengyu, this process was both the ultimate pain and the ultimate enjoyment.

She could feel that her ice spirit power, nourished by the chaotic energy, was becoming purer and stronger, and even faintly possessed a trace of the origin.

But at the same time, the feeling of having her soul and body completely controlled made her feel incredibly humble and insignificant.

She was like an object, left to be used and manipulated at will by her owner.

Jiang Lin slowly opened his eyes.

Chaotic Energy +300

Zhang Lengyu's breakthrough in realm also meant she could provide more chaotic energy.

"Master... is it... over...?" Zhang Lengyu asked intermittently through telepathic communication.

"Finish?"

Jiang Lin grabbed her and pulled her over, clasping her hands behind her back.

"It's still early!"

One hour later.

Chaotic Energy +300

After the two dual cultivation sessions ended, Jiang Lin pushed Zhang Lengyu away, his gaze drawn to a scene at the bottom of the pool.

Directly below where they were just practicing their dual cultivation.

The once smooth bottom of the pool seemed to faintly emanate a bluish light from its depths.

The light was very dim.

If the two hadn't just engaged in a high-energy dual cultivation session here, they probably wouldn't have noticed at all.

Jiang Lin's heart stirred. Could it be that his dual cultivation with Zhang Lengyu had unintentionally triggered something?

He immediately released his spiritual sense and cautiously probed towards the source of the light.

The spiritual sense penetrated the thick layer of rock.

Soon, they discovered a spacious area enclosed by rocks in a crevice several meters underground.

The space was small, only about ten feet square.

The source of the light was a bead the size of a spirit core in the center of the space.

It was a round bead that was entirely blue, with fine, ancient patterns covering its surface, exuding an aura of desolation.

It seems to be... an energy of a higher level than the spiritual energy in the previous spiritual pool!

The surrounding rocks were nourished by this energy, becoming as smooth and lustrous as jade.

Jiang Lin understood instantly.

The spiritual energy in this spiritual pool is not naturally formed, but rather flows continuously from this bead!

"What kind of treasure is this?"

Jiang Lin was overjoyed. He immediately circulated his spiritual power and gently shook the rock beneath him.

Boom!

The enclosed space and the cyan bead within it slowly floated up.

Jiang Lin reached out and grabbed.

He took the bead into his hand.

It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and an extremely pure energy surged into his body through his palm, giving him a mental boost!

"My darling!"

Jiang Lin thought to himself, "I'll call you 'Spirit Marrow Pearl'!"

He was playing with the Spirit Essence Pearl when suddenly an idea struck him.

He took out a third-tier fire-attribute spirit core from his storage ring, which he had obtained from killing a demon beast, and tried to press it onto the spirit marrow bead.

hum!

The Spirit Essence Pearl suddenly emitted a soft sound, and the cyan patterns on its surface lit up instantly.

A powerful suction force emanated from the bead.

The fire elemental power within that third-tier spirit core was being frantically extracted!

The spirit core dimmed and shriveled at a visible speed, eventually turning into a clump of ashes.

A faint red light shone from inside the Spirit Marrow Bead. The red light intertwined with the cyan light and eventually transformed into a wisp of spirit marrow power that was even purer than before, which then dissipated from the surface of the bead.

"What?!"

Jiang Lin was completely shocked.

This Spirit Essence Pearl can actually absorb the power of the Spirit Core and transform it into new Spirit Essence?!

If that's really the case.

Doesn't that mean that as long as he has enough spirit cores, he can have an inexhaustible pool of spirit marrow?

This discovery.

This made Jiang Lin's breathing quicken!

This is simply an incredible treasure!

I need to find some time to study it properly.

Oh wait, let's leave here first, lest things get complicated!

Jiang Lin carefully put the Spirit Essence Pearl into his storage ring and rushed out of the pool with Zhang Lengyu.

Ling Xue, who was ready to take over, was about to step forward when Jiang Lin waved his hand: "Let's not practice dual cultivation for now."

Ling Xue was taken aback, then nodded respectfully: "Yes."

"Let's go and meet our old friends."

Then find the original spark.

Finally, find a place where no one will disturb you, and use the spirit core to try to study the spirit marrow bead!
