Chapter 96: Lufu's Visit

  Perhaps it was a continuous boundary upgrade, and although the sea of consciousness was still dark and gloomy, it seemed to have opened up a lot.

  The bare divine nucleus seed hung in the center, occupying the entire narrow mysterious space. Lin Heng found it strange that after waking up from the mountain cave, several months had passed, and the divine nucleus seed had not grown out of the outer "essence ball layer". What was going on, as far as he knew, a normal warrior's divine nucleus seed, the outer "essence ball layer" was indispensable, used to stabilize and protect the divine nucleus.

  What happened to the strange stone gate's power and the Sea of Consciousness after I fainted that day?

  He too only hesitated for a moment, the answer to this question may be that he will know it later when his strength grows to a very high level and he has a thorough understanding of the knowledge of Xi Wu and Shen Shi Hai. Under the divine core seed, three living and dynamic "potential vortexes" are slowly rotating.

  Lin's gaze fell on the newly formed third vortex, where the energy of the "Yao Guang Lin" inner dan appeared to be slightly impure. After successfully breaking through the day's stage, he noticed that the potential within this new vortex was not very stable, and the divine core seed's gravitational force on this vortex was weaker than the other two vortices.

  After this period of tempering, the potential flow of Qi in the new vortex is now flowing happily and freely, having fully merged with the outer formless body, no longer feeling sluggish or weak.

  Lin Heng was very satisfied. After the four-product inner elixir helped him upgrade, there were no more side effects from then on, and it completely became a part of his body.

  Warriors advance four ranks, each rank up one level, and a new vortex of potential energy appears. After reaching the fourth rank, the four vortices of potential energy are complete, and then the fusion of the four-in-one and the Sea of Consciousness will be carried out. Immediately after that, the "Sea of Consciousness" transforms and disappears, forming a "Heavenly World of Consciousness" with dozens of times stronger quality and stability.

  The tendency of forming small worlds.

  The warrior who possesses "divine insight into heaven and earth" is truly a super strong warrior among all warriors!

  Qingniu Town has a history of thousands of years, and many third-rank officials have emerged. Fourth-rank officials occasionally appear as well, but not a single one has entered the fifth rank. At least in all the historical records Lin Heng has read, there is no such record.

  It is well-known that when ordinary people become warriors, their lifespan will also increase. For example, Lin Heng is currently a third-class warrior and can generally live for more than 300 years. When he reaches the fourth class, his lifespan will be as high as 400 years. With such a long cultivation period, in thousands of years, no one in Qingniu Town has entered the fifth class, which shows how high the threshold of the fifth class is.

  The reason why the strong five-product is so rare, apart from the difficulty of cultivating martial arts, is that the success rate of merging into "Divine Awareness of Heaven and Earth" when breaking through to the fifth product from the fourth product is extremely low and very dangerous.

  This content is too far away, Lin Heng is currently only three products, whether or not to go up to four products are unknown numbers, so it's not mentioned for the time being.

  "In the midst of the three products, it was only a thread away from entering at any moment. Lin Heng observed the new whirlpool's flow situation, his face revealing joy. 'The inner elixir of the "Demon Crowned Scaled Python" is indeed an excellent inner elixir for breaking through stages, and with just a small portion, it allowed me to advance directly from mid-second product to mid-third product, and infinitely close to mid-period. Other inner elixirs, although many also have the purpose of breaking through stages, are far less effective than the "Demon Crowned Scaled Python" inner elixir."

  His eyes showed regret: "It's just a pity that the 'stomach' of the new vortex is too big, and the energy it can withstand is more than the sum of the first two. The effect of the 'tempering clothes' inner elixir has become very weak, and each time he tempers one, he can only add a very thin layer of energy. Compared to when he was at the second rank, he could see changes with his naked eye, like clouds and mud. The most annoying thing is that even if he advances to the third rank, the capacity of his dantian still cannot withstand the medicinal power of two elixirs, and each time he can only temper one inner elixir."

  Of course, he also understands that his greed is not enough. Although the progress speed is far ahead of ordinary people by several thousand kilometers, he still grumbles and complains.

  He looked at the edge of the whirlpool, that three-product mid-term Xuanxu point, just a little bit short, and then re-opened his heart. At the current cultivation speed, it will take at most six days, and this three-product mid-term may be able to successfully impact, and by then he will be a three-product mid-term.

  In the middle of the third rank, ordinary second-rank has a maximum of 10,000 appraisal power. The third rank is 100,000 appraisal power, and if it's mid-third rank, it's a full 300,000 appraisal power!

  Just such a perverted data, it is clear that there is a big gap between the second and third products! The third product can really be like wiping blackboard words, casually wiping out the second product.

  Lin's thoughts were not just that, once he entered the mid-term of Sanpin, following his train of thought, he was not far from Sipin. The strong ones in Sipin only need to think about it and they will be boiling with enthusiasm! Of course, he calmly knew that advancing to a higher level is extremely difficult and time-consuming. This "mid-term of Sanpin" and "Sipin" seem to have a small gap on the surface, but if you really want to step in, ordinary people don't have decades of time, it's basically impossible to complete.

  "Who are you and why are you at my doorstep?"

  "Is he looking for my little brother-in-law? My little brother-in-law told me to tell you that whenever anyone looks for him, they say he's not in..." A childish voice came from outside.

  Lin Hong's divine consciousness had just emerged from the "Sea of Consciousness", and he couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated. This silly girl!

  "Little sister, we're not looking for him, we're waiting for him. You look so cute, this kite is so beautiful, it must fly very high, did your little brother make it for you?"

  "Huh, how did you know?" Xiaoying felt a good impression of him as he smiled warmly and kindly, and also praised herself.

  Lin Hang furrowed his brow slightly at the unfamiliar voice, realizing that the other party was able to guess that he was at his sister's place and knew this location, indicating that they had some understanding of him.

  Could it be Cao Kun? Since the intense battle a few days ago, he would definitely have to confront Cao Kun directly and settle this grudge once and for all. Cai Lai's death had eliminated his own deep-seated hatred towards the Cao family. But the Cao family was different; they had suffered greatly this time, could Cao Kun really let it go?

  For this figure who has dominated Qingniu Town for decades, Lin Heng also had some slight expectations.

  He thought for a moment, stepped down from the bed, straightened his clothes and walked out.

  "Little brother-in-law, you've come out? These two uncles don't believe your words."

  "Who are you two?" Lin Hong picked up Xiao Ying'er and found that there were indeed two people in front of him.

  He was slightly surprised, even if he was so focused on his training that he couldn't ignore the breath of someone approaching. Why did he only sense one person just now? The one who had evaded his detection was the middle-aged man with a long beard behind him.

  "I've met Master Lin, the shopkeeper of Duobao Hall, also known as 'Two Hundred Thousand Mr.' This is our Duobao Hall's deputy master Lu Fu, we came uninvited, please forgive us for being presumptuous."

  Duobao Hall? Lin Huan thought of the martial art they had given him last time and "Mantis Fist", and politely said: "No, no, Lin Huan has met Mr. Two Wans and Lu Fu."

  He and Duobao Fang were not close, and the previous time they sent such a thick gift, he just thought it was Duobao Fang's usual way of dealing with people. It's like when rich people see some poor kid with potential, they casually give you some small money, recognizing you from an early age, so that later on, when you become successful and stand out, they can have a good face to look at. Whether it's called investing in the right person or casting a wide net, it's all the same meaning.

  The martial skills and precious artifacts they gave, if it were before, Lin Huan would have definitely taken them as a big favor, sparing no expense to win himself over. However, since two months ago when he went to the Treasure Pavilion, after seeing their priceless elixirs that could kill people without leaving any bloodstains, and their weapons...

  He just knew that this so-called precious and unique treasure, the precious instrument, was actually a drop in the ocean. What others gave him wasn't too valuable, but too ordinary. It wasn't that they valued him highly, but rather they were just casually scattering some small favors around.

  At present, the shopkeeper of "Duobao Fang" and this deputy fang master actually came to his doorstep in person, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

  "Thank you for your gift last time, I have been wanting to come and thank you in person but haven't had the chance yet, it's really embarrassing."

  Mr. Twenty Thousand waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite, those two things may have some value to ordinary people, but in front of you, Master Lin, they are indeed cheap goods, it's our fault for being impolite at the Treasure Hall."

  Entering the house and sitting down, Lin Heng acted as the host, pouring hot tea for his guest and exchanging pleasantries.

  Rufu smiled and said, "Lin Gongzi and Cao's family had a great battle, the sound of which shook even the distant Jin Yuan City. Many friends have been asking me about you, saying that you are quite handsome, and whether the rumors are true. So, to put their minds at ease, I had to come visit you with a thick face."

  He placed an object in front of him and said: "This is a humble gift for our meeting, I hope Master Lin won't laugh at it."

  Lin Heng was stunned again, and then came to deliver a big gift? He didn't have the slightest politeness, you old man, last time I went to "Duobao Hall" and got a "Seven-inch Rose", but was "blackmailed" for tens of thousands of taels of gold. Now the other party delivers goods to the door, for this kind of wealthy and arrogant business, only brain damage would be polite to you!

  He has never accepted gifts as calmly and reasonably as he did today!

  The gift was wrapped in expensive silk, and Lin Hong couldn't bear to unwrap it in front of the guests, which would be impolite.

  In short, the deputy boss's move is definitely ten or eight times better than that kind of goods before.

  He brought the gift forward and put it in a drawer on the side: "Two people's sincerity, then I will not be polite."

  His blunt and naked attitude made the two of them stare with their eyes wide open. Can you make a polite gesture, or are you going to be rude?

  "Lin Gongzi has now entered the third rank, I wonder what plans he has for the future? Forgive me for speaking bluntly, Lin Gongzi, your innate talent is astonishing, far surpassing that of ordinary warriors. However, after all, you are alone in your cultivation, without support or backing. If you continue to stay in Qili Gou and cultivate in solitude, I fear that even within fifty years, it will be difficult for you to break into the fourth rank."

  Lin Heng knew that the meat had arrived, of course, Lao Tzu's words did not have any exaggerated or distorted components.

  A martial artist cultivates, if relying solely on personal exploration and progress, without guidance from others, without the aid of elixirs to facilitate necessary breakthroughs. Although Lin Heng has already entered the third rank, to break into the fourth rank, it's unlikely to be achievable in less than several decades of prolonged exploration.

  This is also why many warriors, after entering the first rank, try every means to join those sects, aristocratic families and other forces, becoming outer or inner door disciples.
