Dragon Monarch
Chapter 30 - Level Houtian First Stage
“You..”
“Uhuk.”
The cultivator whom Lin Yan stabbed wanted to speak but immediately coughed up blood then his gaze blurred. He deeply regretted provoking Lin Yan whom he considered a monster.
Lin Yan pulled his spear without any emotion at all. He did not seem like a young man in general who would emit emotions when killing opponents.
Then Lin Yan stared at the two remaining cultivators for a moment. Because from the beginning they did not interfere, he did not bother them. He immediately left after checking if you were a valuable object on a corpse lying on the ground.
“Huft.. Good thing that kid's not after us. This is the second time we met and he killed someone.” The cultivator fell to the ground as he was still sweating a little on his back.
“Yes. We better not tell this to anyone. I'm afraid that kid will hunt us down next. From her appearance, she did not seem to be afraid of anyone and did not like to look for trouble. But he would hunt down anyone who bothered him.” Other cultivators heaved a sigh of relief while leaning on the tree trunk. He looked towards his companion who happened to have the same mission. He shook his head because then he would not want to invite someone who did not think long into his team.
Lin Yan who had already left that place had arrived at the Heavenly Dragon sect in almost 1 hour. He breathed when he saw it was dark.
“Today I will absorb all the resources I have collected. It seems that joining the Sky Dragon sect is the right decision.” Lin Yan smiled slightly. He also began to realize what the world of cultivators really was like. It was in accordance with the predictions of his grandfather and grandmother, by joining the Heavenly Dragon sect, Lin Yan would develop in every way even a mindset.
Arriving at his residence, Lin Yan as usual directly cooked. Although cultivators of his level did not need to eat for a few days, it was already his habit to eat.
After eating and cleaning himself, Lin Yan sat on his bed and took out the core of the Green Poison Centipede spirit beast.
“From existing records, the spirit beast core of the Green Poison Centipede was also poisonous. It seems a little inconvenient to separate the poison first.” Lin Yan shook his head then absorbed the spirit star core. However, after absorbing some of it, he found it strange that the poison he slightly absorbed instantly turned into strands of qi as well. Knowing that, he smiled slightly and absorbed the whole thing.
Within Lin Yan's body, there was a certain energy that devoured all those poisons and turned them into qi for Lin Yan.
After absorbing the whole thing, Lin Yan opened his eyes and put on a slightly dissatisfied face.
“Even this spirit beast core is unable to make me break through?” with a slightly pouting face, Lin Yan took out all the Earth Mushrooms as well as the one Flying Mushroom he collected.
Without wasting any time, Lin Yan absorbed the Flying Mushroom first so as not to waste too much qi.
The absorption this time around required a longer time than Lin Yan had predicted. He now understood that the age of the Flying Mushroom was very old. But it makes him happier.
Explosions of qi spread out from Lin Yan's body. He instantly broke through to the ninth stage Qi Foundation level within a few minutes. The energy contained in the Flying Mushroom was still very much.
“If true, this Flying Mushroom must be at least 500 years old.” Inner Lin Yan is excited. He had not expected to find such a valuable resource this time.
Lin Yan did not know about it at all. The strange energy in his body had a certain desire that was to devour a lot of energy for Lin Yan's body. His body looked like a bottomless abyss as it absorbed the qi present in those resources, even the qi around Lin Yan was sucked in very quickly.
Lin Yan's body bulged slightly then slowly shrank. His muscle tissue now appears to be strengthened. Now Lin Yan was aware that the next level strengthened the tissues within the body especially for meridians.
Bush!
An enormous explosion of qi emanated from Lin Yan's body. That incident made many outer wilderness disciples stare towards the hut that belonged to Lin Yan.
‘Did any outer intermediate disciples break through Xiantian? But why is this qi so much weaker than Xiantian?’
All the outer intermediate disciples were confused. They felt that it was impossible for a Houtian level breakthrough because the exploding qi was extremely large but extremely weak to the Xiantian level.
The outer elders were astonished as well. Yet all the outer Elders knew that it was actually a Houtian level breakthrough. And the outer intermediate disciple who broke through must have been extremely strong.
Lin Yan who had just broken through to the next level, opened his eyes. Lin Yan's pupils seemed to change for a moment to vertical but changed back to the way they were.
“This feeling.” Lin Yan clenched his hand and felt an abundant strength.
“Houtian first stage.” the corner of Lin Yan's lips curved slightly. Even so, he was not satisfied with the increase in his strength. He felt that the increase was actually too slow.
And if all the genius disciples knew what Lin Yan was thinking, they would vomit blood and curse Lin Yan into a pig together with his descendants later on.
Just face it if it was like that, a cultivator who had blue spiritual roots would reach the first stage Houtian level of the fifth or sixth stage Qi Foundation at the earliest one year less.
On the other hand, Lin Yan only needed one more month of reaching the Houtian of the first stage Qi Foundation.
“I know the higher the cultivation, the longer it takes to break through the next level or stage.” Lin Yan rounded his resolve to reach Xiantian within half a year. If anyone knew Lin Yan's thoughts they would curse Lin Yan. Is reaching the Xiantian level that easy?
“If not mistaken, to enter the inner wilderness, at least the disciple must have a Xiantian level cultivation. The exam is also said to be difficult. Then, where did all the Xiantian disciples who failed to enter the intermediate in?” Lin Yan was a little confused as he had almost never seen a Xiantian level disciple in the outer wilderness.
Ignoring his thoughts, Lin Yan cultivated within a few hours. He was not like the other cultivators to stabilize his body foundation. Because of Lin Yan's sturdy and unique body, he didn't need to do such a thing.
After finishing cultivating for a while, Lin Yan finally rested because tomorrow he planned to train very hard as well as look for resources in the forest of the first region or take on missions to collect merit points.
