He cultivated himself into a Dao Ancestor starting from Qi Refining.

The disciple token in Lin Shaoyu's hand quieted down. He watched the projection of Chi Lian disappear before his eyes, then put the token away and placed it back in his pocket.

"Refine the Crimson Robe!"

Lin Shaoyu's gaze turned serious, and a murderous intent flickered in his eyes, but he slowly concealed it as he looked toward the direction of 'Cauldron Peak'.

"This is a sword hanging over my head!"

Lin Shaoyu understood one thing very clearly: this inner sect senior sister from Dinglu Peak was currently his greatest and most deadly danger.

If Lian Hongshang hadn't made the wrong assumption from the beginning, which prevented her from taking direct action and instead led her to test her own strength through roundabout methods, she probably wouldn't be alive today.

because……

Lian Hongshang is a person of great supernatural powers.

Ever since witnessing the power and terrifying methods of a great supernatural being when wielding their ultimate supernatural abilities on Penglai Island, Lin Shaoyu has clearly understood one thing: with his current abilities, he is simply unable to truly shake the power of a great supernatural being.

"What exactly does Lian Hongshang want to do? What is she trying to achieve? What is her purpose?! Or rather, what does she want to get from me?!"

Lin Shaoyu fell into deep thought.

If, in the beginning, Lian Hongshang's actions were due to Lin Shaoyu killing Luo Wuji, which affected her plans, and she also became curious after discovering something special about Lin Shaoyu.

But things are different now.

Lin Shaoyu quickly reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, mastered four minor supernatural abilities, and became increasingly mysterious, thus gaining immense value.

"She wants to use me."

Lin Shaoyu deduced in his mind, "Is it for the great supernatural power of the 'Exquisite Secret Realm'?"

"call……"

Lin Shaoyu took a deep breath. "To be honest, I really want to meet Lian Hongshang in person. Once I see her, I can use the 'He Shi Bi's' ability to see into fate. With this ability, all of Lian Hongshang's secrets will no longer be secrets, and I will know everything about her."

"pity……"

Lin Shaoyu shook his head, his gaze grave. "I can't go!"

the reason is simple.

I'm afraid of getting infected.

Lin Shaoyu had just gone to the outer sect exchange building and exchanged 7,000 outer sect contribution points when Zhou Qinghe took notice of him. Moreover, Zhou Qinghe had secretly placed the "Minor Divine Power Technique: People Around Him" ​​on him. If he hadn't left the sect in time to go on a mission and cultivated a substitute outside, Lin Shaoyu would have been completely controlled by Zhou Qinghe by now.

This is just an outer disciple of the Dry Bone Demon Sect.

"If I really went to Lian Hongshang's cave, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be myself after I came out, so I can't possibly go to see Lian Hongshang."

Lin Shaoyu pondered for a moment, "But I can't delay for much longer. I only have seven days left. If I don't go soon, I'm afraid Lian Hongshang will come to visit me in person."

"so……"

Lin Shaoyu slowly plotted his next move in his mind. "I must visit Lian Hongshang in seven days, but I cannot go in my true form. I need a perfect substitute to help me escape this calamity."

To create a perfect substitute, even one who can deceive a powerful being, not necessarily indefinitely but only temporarily, requires more than just the substitute's supernatural abilities.

"If the four minor supernatural abilities of Qimen Dunjia, Thousand Faces, Substitute Fate, and Zhou Qinghe's entourage are combined, the resulting effect may be able to deceive Lian Hongshang."

Lin Shaoyu said softly.

"Let's begin."

Lin Shaoyu entered a state of cultivation again, the mysteries of the 'Self-Severing Technique' surfacing in his mind, and various insights slowly welling up in his heart.

The practice of the "Self-Severing Technique" is actually very easy. Zhang Qianmian and Su Ya mastered it in a very short time.

The so-called "self-mutilation" is actually "self-harm".

If you try to harm someone else, they will dodge or retaliate, so it's not that easy. But if you're going to self-harm, it's easy once you get over that mental hurdle.

The hurdle of the "self-severing method" is sensing the "true spirit," meaning sensing one's own "true spirit." Only in this way can one condense the "blade of will" with one's own consciousness to sever oneself.

"The True Spirit Response Chapter!"

Lin Shaoyu murmured softly, completely immersed in the experience, comprehending the "True Spirit Response Chapter," and under the slow guidance, he sensed the existence of his own "True Spirit."

The deepest part of the body is endless darkness and chaos, and the 'True Spirit' is the core point of white light within this endless darkness and chaos.

Sensing it more carefully.

This point of white light was connected to four other points of light, and these four points of light were the supernatural powers that Lin Shaoyu had already cultivated.

"It's done."

Lin Shaoyu opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face. "The self-severing technique is indeed easy to cultivate. In such a short time, I have already sensed the 'True Spirit' and overcome that hurdle."

Next, one must transform one's own consciousness into a "blade of will." Only one's own will can reach one's own "true spirit," and only one's own "blade of will" can sever the "true spirit" itself.

Clang!

As Lin Shaoyu activated the "Will Like a Blade" technique, continuously condensing and compressing his consciousness, he seemed to hear the sound of a blade ringing in his ears during each compression and condensation.

"It's done again."

Lin Shaoyu's lips curled up slightly, he was in a very good mood. Sensing the invisible 'Blade of Will', he was very satisfied. "With this, I have mastered the Self-Severance Technique."

"Next is the 'Refining Spirit Method'."

The chapters of the "Refining Spirit Method" began to appear in Lin Shaoyu's mind, and he carefully comprehended them. The cultivation of the Refining Spirit Method was different from the Self-Severing Method.

The self-severing technique is extremely simple to cultivate, while the refining spirit technique is extremely difficult, with worlds apart. The refining spirit technique requires condensing the 'supernatural true skill' obtained through self-severing and refining it into a 'supernatural life treasure' with the help of a compatible treasure.

Therefore, the Refining Spirit Method also has two chapters.

"The True Dharma Condensation Chapter"

Lin Shaoyu was trying to comprehend the profound mystery, but he found it difficult to understand. The mysteries involved were far-reaching, and with Lin Shaoyu's level of understanding, he was not yet able to grasp them. It would take a long time and a lot of patience to slowly comprehend them.

"I don't have that much time."

Lin Shaoyu shook his head. With a thought, he sensed the 'He Shi Bi' and mobilized its destiny. Streams of gray destiny emerged and merged with the 'True Law Condensation Chapter'. They then operated on their own in Lin Shaoyu's mind, automatically generating various insights. It was as if the answers and steps of the solution were presented to Lin Shaoyu in detail, allowing him to learn the 'True Law Condensation Chapter' in the shortest amount of time.

"It consumed a thousand gray life points."

Lin Shaoyu glanced at the consumption of life points. It wasn't too much, nor too little, because cultivating a fifth-order true skill only required fifty white life points.

"Again!"

Lin Shaoyu continued to comprehend the second chapter of the Refining Spirit Technique, "The Chapter on Forging Spirit with Life Treasures!"

hum!hum!

Another stream of gray destiny surged in, revealing the profound mysteries of the Destiny Treasure Forging God Chapter, which Lin Shaoyu quickly comprehended and mastered.

This time, it consumed 10,000 gray life points.

"Refining the Spirit Technique! Successful!"

Lin Shaoyu opened his eyes, let out a soft shout, and merged the True Law Condensation Chapter and the Life Treasure Forging God Chapter into one, enabling Lin Shaoyu to truly cultivate the 'Refining God Method'.
