The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 129 [Ingredient Name: Tiger-Slaying Mask with Divine Beast]

In the main hall, Lin Ye looked at Lin Fei.

"Brother Fei, what is baptism?"

Lin Fei raised an eyebrow and looked over, giving her a knowing look.

"Whale Water Yang Thunder Drum".

"To ring this drum, a member of the Crimson Whale Sect who has reached the sect master level with the Whale Killing Overlord Technique must personally beat the drum."

"The sound of the drum can cleanse away all evils and regulate the stagnant blood and qi in the body."

"The Whale Water Thunder Drum is extremely mentally taxing, and only the sect leader can ring it; it's a privilege reserved for his personal disciples."

Lin Ye nodded knowingly, feeling a warmth in his heart.

Looking back, I've met only good people along the way.

Evening, Red Whale Security Group, Training Room 007.

Lin Ye stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the distant coastline.

There's still no news from Sister Jiang, but it seems they've found some clues, which are related to a secret martial arts family in Tieqin City.

This made him relax a little; thankfully, it wasn't Bai Yue's family in Haishan City.

After a long silence, he took out the Blood Essence Pill that his master had given him during the day.

【Ingredient Name: Blood Essence Pill】

[Ingredient Category: Secret Medicine]

[Ingredient Tier: Lord Tier]

Edible part: the whole body

[Effects of Consumption: Moderately increases strength and constitution attributes. Moderately improves bone marrow hematopoietic capacity, bone density, muscle density, blood density, blood and qi weight, and nerve recruitment ability.]

Gently place it in your mouth; it melts instantly, and a faint taste of blood gradually spreads, traveling down your esophagus into your stomach.

A warm current flowed along the meridians, spreading throughout the body with each breath.

A burning sensation spread from all parts of my body, as if countless embers were burning away impurities within me.

"boom!"

The crimson shockwave erupted uncontrollably, and the wind pressure struck the bronze bell in the center of the training room, creating a deafening roar.

About half a minute later, the crimson shockwave suddenly dissipated, as if it had never existed.

Lin Ye walked slowly to the center of the training room.

monument."

[Strength: 1.03] → [Strength: 1.04]

[Constitution: 1.05] → [Constitution: 1.06]

Close your eyes slightly.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and the blood-red shockwave roared instantly.

The crimson aura spread out, and the resulting wind pressure caused the bronze bell to fly at an angle, making it impossible for it to remain vertical.

A crimson aura emanated from the center, and Lin Ye's figure twisted in the light and shadow, as if it were being stretched infinitely.

He clenched his fist, and his physical fitness improved to another level.

"A shockwave range of eighteen feet... I wonder what level it will reach after breaking through to the sixth level of the Soul Whale Fist?"

"Will it exceed two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) and rival the Second Senior Brother?"

He muttered to himself, "At this point, there's no need to hide anything anymore."

All he wants to do now is improve his strength.

He didn't want to experience that feeling of being easily subdued on the deck again.

"Knock knock".

The knocking sounded, and Lin Ye's heart leaped with joy, only to be instantly filled with dejection.

Yan Yi is not here.

Su Zhenzhen stood outside the training room when the door opened.

"Manager Su? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Su Zhenzhen looked slightly nervous. During the day, almost everyone knew that the sect leader had taken on a new personal disciple.

The name of that personally taught disciple was Lin Ye.

Today, on the 28th floor, apart from Lin Ye, no one else is using the training room.

"Consultant Lin, a man named Zhang Xuan is looking for you downstairs."

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly. Zhang Xuan?

Could it be...?

"Walk!"

The two went downstairs, and Su Zhenzhen wisely did not follow.

As Lin Ye walked out of the company gate, he looked at the roadside and saw Zhang Xuan squatting under a street lamp, smoking like a stray dog.

Smoking is bad for your health.

Lin Ye stepped forward and said with a smile, "Zhang Xuan is actually a good guy. He didn't feel the domineering attitude that Sister Jiang mentioned."

Could it be that the slight violence during their first meeting and martial arts sparring left him with a psychological trauma?

Upon seeing Lin Ye approach, Zhang Xuan jumped up, looked around, and stubbed out his cigarette.

"What happened? Your dark circles are so bad!"

Zhang Xuan sighed weakly.

"Don't even mention it. The Nuo Snake Cult here has been acting crazy lately, causing trouble everywhere and driving me crazy."

Lin Ye was somewhat surprised. "You can contact me if you need anything."

Engraved crystals are a good thing, and the Nuo Snake God Cult's collection is also quite impressive.

With his current strength, as long as he doesn't encounter those eight sacrificial sites guarded by divine servants, ordinary Nuo serpent strongholds pose no danger to him.

Zhang Xuan looked miserable. "No way! Those guys are too weak. Asking you, Big Brother, to deal with them would be too much of a loss for me. I can't afford it."

Lin Ye shook his head helplessly, "We're old friends, I'll give you a 50% discount, two purchases in exchange for one engraved crystal."

Zhang Xuan smacked his lips twice, looking at Lin Ye with a somewhat fawning expression.

"Brother, good brother, could you give me a 20% discount? Or even free?"

Lin Ye slapped him on the head. "Two-fold? I'll break your bones!"

"Oh dear! You'll become stupid!"

Zhang Xuan rubbed his head and reluctantly took a plastic bag out of his backpack.

Here, this is what you wanted.

"If it weren't for you, brother, I wouldn't have bothered to ask for it!"

Lin Ye looked at the plastic bag in Zhang Xuan's hand, inside which was a bronze mask.

Immediately, his eyes filled with excitement.

"Thank you so much, little brother."

"How about this, I'll do it twice for free, okay?"

As he spoke, he grabbed the plastic bag and stuffed it directly into his pocket.

Zhang Xuan's face lit up with joy, but then turned bitter, his expression showing a mix of emotions.

Lin Ye looked at him, somewhat amused. "What? Twice isn't enough?"

Zhang Xuan scratched his head. "Not really. It's just... this can only be shown to you, brother. I need to take it back with me."

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this. "What's going on?"

Zhang Xuan glanced at Lin Ye and said, "I heard that someone from Tieqin's side wanted it. It was specifically requested by higher-ups, and I went through a lot of trouble to get it."

"But at most three days, after which I have to return it."

After saying that, he lowered his head with some regret.

That's two chances to make a call, it'll save a lot of trouble.

Lin Ye smiled at Zhang Xuan, "Leave it with me, I'll give it to you later."

"My promise still stands; I'll do it for free twice."

Zhang Xuan suddenly looked up. "Really, brother!"

"really."

"Oh, brother! You really are my good brother!"

After Zhang Xuan left, Lin Ye returned to the training room and sat cross-legged next to the bronze bell.

Tear open the plastic seal and take out the bronze mask inside.

【Ingredient Name: Tiger-shaped Mask with Divine Beast】

[Ingredient Category: Spirit]

[Ingredient Tier: Lord Tier]

Edible part: the whole body

[Effects of Consumption: Moderately increases Strength and Constitution attributes. Moderately improves Spirit and Qi quality.]

Looking at the information about the ingredients in front of him, Lin Ye's face lit up with joy.

Although the specific categories of effects from consuming this food are few, this precisely illustrates the focused nature of its spiritual enhancement.

And being focused means being powerful!

He pressed his face close to the bronze mask, closed his eyes slightly, and his breathing became heavier.

A faint, blood-red stream of energy flew out from the bronze mask and entered the body through the nose.
