Immortal Rebel: The Obstacles!

However, all of this was just Wang Lin's speculation, and he did not act rashly.

He first used his internal spiritual power to form a protective shield, but since he didn't have any profound techniques, the shield was somewhat weak.

"We must give it a try." A glint of light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes. He made a hand seal with his right hand and muttered incantations.

Suddenly, wisps of red light gathered in front of him, eventually forming a red sphere.

This was a spell that Situ Nan taught him specifically to test the quality of extremely Yin lands. Based on the color of the light sphere, there were four types of light: purple, blue, silver, and red, each corresponding to one of the four extremely Yin lands of Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.

Even different extremely yin places are classified by quality. All extremely yin places are divided into four levels: ordinary, superior, deep yin, and absolute yin.

Each level is further divided into ten grades.

Generally speaking, reaching the third rank or above is sufficient to cultivate the Yellow Spring Ascension Technique, while reaching the eighth rank or above can accelerate the cultivation speed.

After the sphere of light appeared, it immediately emitted a faint silver light, which barely shone and ultimately only flickered once.

Wang Lin's expression changed drastically, his eyes flashing. "This flame can actually reach the first rank of Profound Yin!"

Situ Nan had told him before that this Xuan Yin land was extremely difficult to find, and it mostly appeared in extremely cold places.

"Heaven is helping me!" Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then closed his eyes and thought, his mind replaying the detailed explanation of the Yellow Spring Ascension Technique by Situ Nan.

The Yellow Spring Ascension Technique is divided into nine levels. Every three levels of cultivation will condense a Cold Pill within the body. Once all nine levels are completed, the three Cold Pills will fuse together, and there is a certain chance of directly advancing to the Core Formation stage.

The cold elixir of the Yellow Spring Ascension Technique is accomplished by opening the apertures. It is called opening the apertures because it is a necessary process in cultivating this technique. The Yellow Spring Ascension Technique has three major acupoints: Dantian, Qihai, and Zuqiao.

When these three acupoints are broken through, a cold pill will condense. As soon as the cold pill appears, the spiritual power in the body will immediately transform into yin and cold power.

Wang Lin first made a hand seal, and a fist-sized gap slowly appeared in the protective shield in front of him. In an instant, an extremely yin and cold aura covered Wang Lin's entire body.

Just then, Wang Lin suddenly placed his hands on his knees and focused on breathing exercises.

His breathing pattern consists of one long and five short breaths.

The term "one long" refers to a long inhalation time, while "one short five" means that the exhalation time is only one-fifth of the inhalation time, allowing you to draw in the surrounding cold and damp energy as quickly as possible.

When Wang Lin first absorbed it, he was not very used to it. This cold energy was not as gentle as spiritual energy, but rather had a cold attribute. After being inhaled, it immediately circulated and penetrated into all his internal organs.

The chill emanating from within made him tremble uncontrollably.

As Wang Lin inhaled more and more of the cold, damp air, his hands and feet grew icy, his blood flowed more and more viscous, and eventually even his heartbeat slowed down.

His eyebrows, hair, and entire body slowly turned frost-like, and a chilling aura emanated from his body, blending perfectly with his surroundings.

"Heaven is helping me!" Teng Li, who was standing on the stone platform, was secretly delighted. His magic technique was given to him by his great-grandfather Teng Huayuan, and it was more profound than ordinary magic techniques, so the protective shield he formed was more solid.

"That little bastard, he won't last much longer!" He watched as Wang Lin's breath grew weaker and his body was covered in frost, which was clearly a sign of impending death.

With Wang Lin dead, I can easily win this round.

"You want to compete with me in stamina? That's wishful thinking!" Teng Li sneered inwardly. Wang Lin was about to die but still refused to admit defeat. It seemed he wanted to compete with him to see who had more pills!

Teng Li's expression hardened, and he quickly took out a handful of pills from his storage bag, swallowed them in one gulp, and his spiritual power immediately started circulating again, and the protective shield in front of him gradually became more solid.

At the same time, Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes, patted his storage bag, and a pill containing a huge amount of spiritual energy instantly appeared in his hand. Without saying a word, he swallowed it directly!

This was the Locking Brightness Pill that Li Mozhi had rewarded him with. Situ Nan had said that this pill was extremely effective and could only be taken after one had formed a core. If one were to take it after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, one could only take one pill at most. Taking more than one pill could easily cause one's body to swell and one's spiritual energy to become chaotic.

A massive surge of spiritual energy exploded within Wang Lin's body. Wang Lin's expression hardened, and he focused his mind, quickly circulating the Yellow Spring Ascension Technique to accelerate the conversion of spiritual energy within his body.

Meanwhile, on another stone platform, Teng Li, seeing this, didn't care about anything else. He instantly pulled out a handful of pills from his storage bag and swallowed them in large gulps. "You want to compete with me in pills? Do you think you can beat me!"

Wang Lin knew that the Yellow Spring Ascension Technique, to put it bluntly, depended on how much Yin-cold Qi the body absorbed; the more it absorbed, the stronger it became.

As time passed, the spiritual energy provided by the Locking Brightness Pill was gradually transformed by Wang Lin into Yin Cold Qi, which he would merge with the surrounding Yin Cold Qi with each breath he took.

With each breath, his heartbeat would gradually slow down, eventually becoming almost imperceptible, and on several occasions, it almost stopped, but he persevered.

Meanwhile, Teng Li's body was trembling uncontrollably on the stone platform beside him, and frost was slowly forming on his body. The pills in his storage bag were almost gone.

"No! Surrendering now means certain death. That white ape will never let me go. I have no choice but to fight on. You little bastard, why aren't you dead yet?!"

A strange light flashed in Zi Xuan's eyes above him, and he murmured something.

"This kid's cultivation method is somewhat similar to the Corpse-Guiding Sect's technique. Could it be that he has someone from the Yellow Springs Path behind him? My extremely yin and cold flames are like a fish in water to him!"

"Go all out and open the acupoints!" Wang Lin's eyes flashed. He had thoroughly studied the mental techniques of the Yellow Spring Ascension Technique and was also very familiar with the three major acupoints described in the technique.

Wang Lin immediately followed the method in the exercise, mobilizing the cold, yin energy in his lower abdomen to begin his first breakthrough.

Under his control, the cold, icy aura spun faster and faster, and waves of excruciating pain came from his lower abdomen. Wang Lin's face showed pain, and the aura spun rapidly, turning into a vortex.

In that instant, a deep black hole appeared, and then all the spiritual power in his body was instantly devoured and rushed into the black hole.

The chilling energy and spiritual power gradually began to devour and merge with each other, eventually forming a unique mutated spiritual power that slowly rotated within the black hole.

Thus, the first level of the Yellow Spring Ascension Technique has been completed!

Dantian acupoint is beginning to open!

Wang Lin suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce killing intent bursting forth from them, and turned to look in Teng Li's direction.

"You deserve to die!"
