Immortal Rebel: The Obstacles!

The Hengyue Sect's back mountain formation, within a formation.

The environment inside the formation is beautiful, with lush vegetation all around and the sound of flowing water coming from afar. The spiritual energy is several times richer than that of the large formation in the back mountain outside.

Li Mozhi sat cross-legged under a tree, and with a glance, the interface of the roadblock system appeared in front of him.

Main Quest: The Obstacles to Immortal Rebellion (Unlocked)

[Current Side Quest: The Dissolution of the Hengyue Sect]

[Mission Requirements: Stop Wang Lin in the Hengyue Sect area. Rewards will be calculated based on the time taken to stop him.]

Current progress: 1 day and 6 hours

"Wang Lin has now become famous overnight, and he has more or less a sense of belonging to the Hengyue Sect. This may encourage him to stay in the Hengyue Sect for a longer period of time, and the rewards I receive will be more generous."

"If Wang Lin can stay at Hengyue Sect for seven days and gain extreme divine sense, he can basically do whatever he wants in Zhao Kingdom as long as he doesn't encounter any old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage."

Li Mozhi narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself, "His cultivation must be nearing the Foundation Establishment stage as well."

Li Mozhi guessed in his heart that he didn't actually know Wang Lin's current true cultivation level. He only knew that Wang Lin's cultivation had reached the fourteenth level of Qi Condensation after cultivating in the back mountain, based entirely on his understanding of the original work.

Because Wang Lin absorbed Situ Nan's Nascent Soul essence, unless one reaches the same level as Situ Nan, no one can see through Wang Lin's cultivation. Even Li Mozhi only found out from the original work, let alone Pu Nanzi and the others.

With that in mind, Li Mozhi took out two storage bags filled with bets. After pondering for a moment, he began to allocate the cultivation resources.

……

At the same time, Wang Lin is now the focus of the Hengyue Sect. His feat of defeating the Xuandao Sect's top disciple in one move is known to everyone. Wherever he goes, disciples cast envious glances at him, and even female disciples secretly flirt with him.

Wang Lin touched his nose strangely, refusing all of them, which infuriated Situ Nan inside the Heavenly Rebellion Pearl, who let out a helpless roar.

"I haven't touched a woman in years, and she's practically throwing herself at me, why aren't you making any real moves? Even just letting me look at her would be nice!"

Wang Lin smiled helplessly, "I'll definitely do it next time, senior. I have important things to do today." He then ignored Situ Nan's words and strode away into the distance.

Before long, Wang Lin arrived at the alchemy room. It was getting late when he saw Wang Hao cautiously slipping out of the side door. After noticing Wang Lin, Wang Hao quickly made a shushing gesture, indicating that Wang Lin should wait for him in the distance.

Wang Lin was taken aback. He scanned the area with his divine sense and found that his senior brother in the alchemy room was looking serious and focused as he put various medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace. Clearly, they had reached a critical stage in the alchemy process.

Wang Lin had only taken a few steps when Wang Hao tiptoed out and pulled Wang Lin along, running without saying a word until they were quite a distance away before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Panting, Wang Hao punched Wang Lin in the chest and said excitedly, "Wow...Wang Lin, I didn't expect you to be so well-hidden! I've heard about your exploits. You'll have to protect me in the Hengyue Sect from now on!"

"You're here to see me again all of a sudden? What's wrong? Showing off in front of me now!"

Wang Hao's punch wasn't heavy, but Wang Lin still pretended to be in pain. This heartfelt sincerity moved Wang Lin more than the previous false flattery.

Faced with Wang Hao's teasing, he chuckled lightly and didn't say anything. He looked around, leaned closer to Wang Hao, and whispered something.

"This is all thanks to the Ancestor. I'll tell you a secret: he passed on a divine power to me, called the Ancient Dragon-Capturing Hand!"

"Ancient Dragon-Capturing Hand? If the name is so imposing, then its power must be ridiculously great!" Wang Hao's eyes widened like copper bells as he exclaimed in surprise.

"Hurry up and show me! I want to see the power of the Ancient Dragon-Capturing Hand!" Wang Hao grabbed Wang Lin's sleeve and demanded, swaying slightly.

Wang Lin told Wang Hao a white lie. He touched his nose with a strange expression. Compared to saying this trick himself, it was much more believable if it came from Wang Hao.

Besides, he still needed Wang Hao's help later, so he said with feigned helplessness.

"For your sake, I'll use this once, just this once!"

"Good! Good!" Wang Hao's eyes widened immediately, not daring to blink even a little.

Wang Lin immediately looked around and found a boulder as tall as him. His expression hardened, and he made a hand seal with his right hand, preparing the Gravity Technique. He then whispered a command.

"Watch closely! The Ancient Dragon-Slaying Hand!"

In an instant, the boulder rose into the air, and Wang Lin gently clenched his right hand, instantly turning the boulder into hundreds of fist-sized pebbles that floated in the air!

But that wasn't all. If the Ancient Dragon-Capturing Hand only had this much power, Wang Lin obviously didn't believe it. So, he once again manipulated the Gravity Technique, concentrating intently and meticulously!

"broken!"

With a loud bang, hundreds of small pebbles instantly turned into dust. As Wang Lin withdrew his hand, the dust fell uncontrollably downwards, raising clouds of dust.

Wang Lin flicked his sleeve, sending the dust flying into the distance.

"How about it?" Wang Lin turned to look at Wang Hao and smiled smugly.

"This...this is amazing! But I feel like this ancient dragon-capturing hand looks familiar." A hint of doubt flashed in Wang Hao's eyes.

"How could such a spell look familiar to you? You must have seen it in a dream, right?" Wang Lin laughed, though he felt a little uneasy inside.

He immediately changed the subject, putting on a serious face, and said, "I've come to see you today because I have a favor to ask!"

"You said I would do my best to do anything I can." Wang Hao shook his head, no longer thinking about what had just happened.

"I have two bottles of centipede venom here. Could you help me extract the toxins from them? I need them to treat my father's illness." Wang Lin took out two jade bottles from his storage bag and tossed them to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao slapped his forehead and said with some annoyance, "It's all because the alchemy room is too strict. I didn't have time to refine the folk remedy medicine you gave me. I didn't handle this matter well."

Wang Lin chuckled and said jokingly, "Fortunately, the Ancestor helped me retrieve two bottles of poisoned blood. You'd better handle this one well."

Wang Hao then carefully took it, saying confidently, "No problem! Leave it to me!"

Curious, Wang Hao opened the jade bottle and sniffed it. A strong, fishy stench assaulted his nostrils. Wang Hao frowned, immediately closed the bottle, and put both jade bottles into his storage bag.

"Wang Lin, after I help you extract the toxin, don't forget what you promised me! Remember to protect me in the Hengyue Sect! I've had my eye on Wang Zhuo for a long time!"

"Definitely! Definitely!"
