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

Jiang Lin looked at Elder Teng Feng with some doubt.

"Why do you say that, Elder?"

"What's so special about this incomplete Earth-rank spiritual treasure?"

Once Jiang Lin gets his hands on a fragmented Earth-rank spiritual treasure, he can synthesize it into a true Earth-rank spiritual treasure.

Therefore, no matter how special this Earth-rank spiritual treasure is, as long as he can exchange for it, he will give it a try.

This is a real weapon of mass destruction!

Moreover.

Since Elder Teng Feng is willing to include Earth-rank spiritual treasures in this long list...

That means it should be something that can be taken away.

Elder Teng Feng stroked his beard and chuckled as he explained, "You may not know this, but the spiritual power of a low-grade Earth-level spiritual treasure far surpasses that of a high-grade Profound-level one, even if it's just a damaged one."

He pointed to the list in mid-air: "These kinds of magical treasures usually choose their own masters. Unless you are strong enough to suppress and take them with your own power, they have to willingly recognize you as their master!"

"Actually, a Xuan-level spiritual treasure is enough for you at your current stage, even until you reach the Qi Sea Realm or the Profound Realm."

Elder Tengfeng's implication was that Jiang Lin should simply choose a Xuan-rank spiritual treasure, as its power was sufficient and his approval was unnecessary.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow, showing no sign of backing down. Instead, he grinned and said, "Don't worry, Elder. I'm determined to have this Earth-rank incomplete item, and I'll take that Thunder Pattern Spear with me as well."

Elder Teng Feng was taken aback, then chuckled: "The Thunder Pattern Spear is a high-grade Xuan-rank weapon with a spirit value of 600. You can take it without any problem, but that incomplete Earth-rank spiritual treasure..."

Jiang Lin sincerely clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Elder, the spirit value of the Thunder Pattern Spear will be deducted directly from my token."

"I hope the elder will allow me to try and take this incomplete Earth-rank spiritual treasure with me."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Teng Feng had no choice but to nod in agreement.

That's why Jiang Lin is here.

Since Jiang Lin has been favored by the Holy Maiden Huangfu Yuning, Teng Feng naturally doesn't mind giving her face.

Deep down, this incomplete Earth-rank spiritual treasure has been in the Divine Weapon Hall for a very, very long time.

If we could really find it an owner.

This is also what Elder Teng Feng would like to see.

But, is Jiang Linxing going?

Elder Teng Feng waved his sleeve, and a golden light carrying two spiritual treasures landed on the jade platform in front of Jiang Lin.

The Thunder Pattern Spear stood on the left, its shaft wrapped in dark gold thunder patterns, its tip flashing with purple lightning, its sharpness chilling.

Jiang Lin reached out and grasped the gun barrel.

The lightning spiritual power within his body surged, instantly resonating with the lightning pattern spear, causing the spear to emit a trembling gunshot sound.

"Swish!"

"Sizzle~"

He casually brandished the spear a couple of times, and the purple lightning at the tip of the spear drew streaks of purple sparks in the air, which was very cool and stylish.

"Great gun!"

Jiang Lin was very satisfied!

He then looked to the right of the jade platform.

Unlike a complete Thunder Pattern Gun.

The magical artifact on the right is a damaged longbow.

There is only the bow body, but no bowstring.

Only two-thirds of the bow remains.

The bow's body appears to be cast from meteorite iron, its entire surface gleaming with a dark gold hue reminiscent of starlight. It is covered with intricate ancient patterns, and the sharp edges at the broken points exude an overbearing dominance over heaven and earth, even without a string.

It contains no spiritual energy attribute and is suitable for any cultivator!

The prerequisite is that you can gain the approval of this broken bow!

Jiang Lin's gaze locked onto the broken bow.

He immersed his mind in the Chaos Furnace and discovered the chaotic energy needed to repair and synthesize the broken bow...

[Insufficient Chaos Energy Points; synthesizing this broken bow requires a total of 10,000 Chaos Energy Points.]

Grass!

Ten thousand points!?

Such a number is terrifying.

However, upon further reflection, Jiang Lin felt relieved.

He's no longer the menial disciple he once was, struggling to even gather a hundred points of Chaos Energy.

He can now gain three to four hundred Chaos Energy by engaging in dual cultivation with a woman at the Qi Sea Realm once.

Within a single day, one can cultivate with the same woman twice and obtain chaotic energy.

As long as there are enough women at the Qi Sea Realm who can engage in dual cultivation.

It's not too difficult to accumulate 10,000 points of chaotic energy.

He already has nearly 7,000 points.

Elder Teng Feng stood to the side, and seeing him staring intently at the broken bow, he smiled.

This broken bow has been tried to communicate with by countless inner sect prodigies in the past, all to no avail. It seems that Jiang Lin will also find it difficult to succeed.

However, Jiang Lin was the one whom Fairy Yu Ning had chosen.

There will be some unique aspects to it.

"Jiang Lin, why don't you give it a try?" Teng Feng waited expectantly.

Jiang Lin took a deep breath and nodded vigorously.

Clearing his mind of distractions, he reached out towards the broken bow, attempting to establish a connection with the spirit within it.

On the jade platform, the broken bow lay silently, without moving.

Elder Teng Feng shook his head and sighed softly.

It was already concluded that it would be another failure.

"No way?" Jiang Lin frowned.

He looked at the broken bow on the jade platform, his spiritual thoughts swirling around it, conveying his innermost feelings.

"Staying immersed in the Divine Weapon Hall all the time isn't what you want to see, is it?"

"Come with me, and I can restore you to a new life!"

Jiang Lin's words were conveyed through spiritual thought.

Jiang Lin didn't know if doing this would be effective.

Anyway, it won't hurt to give it a try.

But in just a few breaths, the dark golden broken bow suddenly trembled, and the ancient patterns on the bow body lit up with a dazzling golden light.

The starlight surged, and the entire bow emitted a deep hum!

"Buzz!"

Elder Teng Feng's smile froze, his eyes widened suddenly, his mouth opened slightly, and his face was full of astonishment.

He guarded the Lingbao Tower, but had never seen anyone make this broken earth-rank bow react.

There's a reason why this broken bow looks down on others: its original owner was an extraordinary person with exceptional talent.

After following such a master, the other inner disciples, although also geniuses, cannot be generalized.

At that moment, he saw the broken bow move like this.

Of course you'd be surprised!

A buzzing sound resounded throughout the Divine Weapon Hall, and the broken bow suddenly soared into the air, circling Jiang Lin three times. The ancient runes shone even brighter, clearly indicating that it was willing to acknowledge a master!

Jiang Lin reached out and grasped the broken bow, which landed steadily in his palm.

Upon handling it, it has a slightly cool, meteorite-like feel.

Jiang Lin channeled his spiritual energy into the broken bow.

The broken bow did not reject or repel the spirit, but obediently allowed the spirit to fall into its body and plant a mark.

After planting the spiritual imprint, Jiang Lin felt a faint connection between himself and the broken bow.

Jiang Lin guessed that the broken bow probably sensed a trace of the Chaos Furnace.

Otherwise, it probably wouldn't be so easy for them to obediently listen.

"Jiang Lin, you're amazing!"

Elder Teng Feng came to his senses and spoke with admiration.

"It seems I underestimated you before."

"Its power is considerable, and it's a waste to leave it gathering dust in this Divine Weapon Hall. Now that we acknowledge you, you should give this bow a name!"

Jiang Lin examined the broken bow in his hand, feeling quite pleased.

Looking at the dark golden starlight on the broken bow, he thought for a moment and named it Dark Star.

"From now on, you are the Dark Star Bow!"

"Buzz!"

The broken bow trembled.

He seems fairly satisfied with the name.

Seeing that Jiang Lin didn't object to the name "Broken Bow," Elder Teng Feng added from the side, "Currently, the Dark Star Bow has no bowstring; you need to condense your spiritual power into a bowstring to use it."

"It would be best to find a skilled weapon refiner to forge the bowstring for you."

"Otherwise, the power will always be somewhat reduced."

Jiang Lin nodded, indicating that he understood.

He then took out his identity token: "Elder, deduct the six hundred spirit points for the Thunder Pattern Spear from here."

"Forget it."

Elder Teng Feng smiled and refused, "It's your own ability to make the Dark Star Bow recognize you as its master, so there's no need to deduct the spirit value. You can take the Thunder Pattern Spear as well."

Jiang Lin did not refuse.

He knew that Elder Tengfeng was extending goodwill to him.

After thanking him, he put away the Thunder Pattern Spear and the Dark Star Bow.

"I would like to trouble the elder to lead the way, as I would like to go to the Armor Hall to select a piece of armor."

Seeing that Jiang Lin did not refuse but accepted it directly, Teng Feng nodded and led Jiang Lin towards the Baojia Hall.

The interior of the Treasure Armor Hall was also dazzling with spiritual light.

A dazzling array of colorful armors was on display. Jiang Lin glanced at them and his eyes fell directly on a high-grade Xuan-level Thunderscale Armor.

This armor is made from the scales of the Thunderstruck Beast. It is dark purple all over and covered with fine thunder patterns. When spiritual power is poured into it, it can generate a thunderous protective aura similar to the scales of the Thunderstruck Beast. It is highly defensive and can also reflect some of the enemy's attacks, which suits his needs perfectly.

This Thunderscale Armor is quite good. Jiang Lin didn't hesitate for long and chose to put the armor into his storage bag.

Without stopping, he headed towards the Spirit Array Hall.

The Spirit Array Hall was filled with various scrolls. Jiang Lin carefully selected and acquired a number of fourth-tier scrolls used for trapping, defense, and support.

A fourth-order spirit array scroll only needs one.

It's mainly a fifth-order reel.

The fourth rank is the Qi Sea Realm, and Jiang Lin can kill people in the Qi Sea Realm on his own. The fifth rank corresponds to the Profound Realm.

He spent a lot of spiritual points.

There's no point in keeping the spirit points; the Holy Maiden rewarded him with 5,000 points anyway, so turning those resources into strength is the best approach.

He then moved to the Spirit Talisman Hall.

I want all kinds of talismans!

Similar to choosing spirit array scrolls, the main goal is to acquire fifth-tier spirit talismans, while only randomly selecting some fourth-tier ones.

In total, it cost nearly three thousand spirit points. Jiang Lin's identity token had its spirit points halved, but he didn't care at all, as these were all powerful tools for cultivation and killing enemies.

When we left Lingbao Tower, it was already dark.

Jiang Lin is not yet an inner disciple, so he does not have a cave dwelling in the inner sect and can only take the teleportation array back to the outer sect area.

After a night of focused meditation, Jiang Lin familiarized himself with the newly acquired spiritual treasure and grew increasingly eager to travel to Jade Condensation Peak.

The next morning, the sun rose.

A beautiful figure landed in front of Jiang Lin's residence.

The woman, dressed in a light pink dress, with a beautiful face and a slender figure, was none other than Ruan Rou, one of the saintess's attendants.

Ruan Rou moved gracefully, a gentle smile on her face, and knocked on the door. She addressed Jiang Lin in a sweet voice, "Jiang Lin, I am Ruan Rou. The Holy Maiden has ordered me to come and process your entry into the inner sect!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lin opened his eyes, quickly stepped out the door, cupped his hands, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister Ruan Rou."

Ruan Rou gently shook her head.

He gestured for Jiang Lin to produce his identity token.

After obtaining the token.

With a wave of her small hand and a hand seal, she transformed Jiang Lin's status from an outer disciple to an inner disciple as her spiritual power surged.

Ordinary disciples of the Holy Land cannot do such a thing.

After the formalities were completed, Ruan Rou put away the token and said sweetly, "Jiang Lin, from now on you are an inner disciple of the Misty Holy Land. Come with me to Jade Condensation Peak to see the Holy Maiden!"

Jiang Lin nodded in agreement, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

This is the importance of opportunity!

Other outer disciples might never be able to advance to the inner sect even if they spend their entire lives, but he seized the opportunity and not only advanced to the inner sect, but also ascended to the heavens in one step, and was able to cultivate with the Holy Maiden!

A flash of light appeared beneath their feet.

Summoning their flying swords, they rose side by side, riding the swords and using the outer sect teleportation array to return to the inner sect area.

Led by Ruan Rou, they flew to Jade Peak.

During the flight, Ruan Roufei flew beside Jiang Lin, occasionally glancing at him with curiosity in her pretty eyes.

Huangfu Yuning had never taken on any male disciples or servants before, so Jiang Lin must have something special to gain the favor of the Holy Maiden.

Unfortunately, after observing him for a while, she did not notice anything special about Jiang Lin.

But when Jade Condensation Peak appeared, Jiang Lin looked around.

The mountain peaks soared into the clouds, their spiritual energy so dense it was almost tangible, with cranes circling above them.

The babbling spring is like a fairyland.

Ruan Rou slowed down and smiled at Jiang Lin, "We've arrived at Jade Condensation Peak. The Holy Maiden should be cultivating in the main hall right now. Please follow me!"

Jiang Lin nodded and followed closely behind Ruan Rou.

Upon reaching the entrance of the cultivation hall, Ruan Rou stopped and bowed, saying, "Holy Maiden, Jiang Lin has been brought!"

A pleasant voice came from inside the hall: "Yes, come in."

Jiang Lin took a deep breath and straightened his robes.

Led by Ruan Rou, he stepped into the main hall, becoming the first man to enter Huangfu Yuning's cultivation hall.
