Simplification System: From Perfect Arrow Skill to Immortal-Chapter 239 - 185: Divine Origin Fruit—Is This Girl a Bit Slow?
Lin Chang’sheng’s efforts were not in vain.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, more than half the poisonous blood in Yu Lingfei’s body had been expelled, leaving her temporarily out of mortal danger.
Lin Chang’sheng decided to stop for now; otherwise, if he continued, Yu Lingfei would lose too much blood.
The remaining poison would be best removed after Yu Lingfei recovered her vitality and blood.
"Lin... Lin Chang’sheng, thank you, you saved me again!"
Yu Lingfei’s face was red as she spoke in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.
She had already realized that the Daoist Long she met in the Spirit-Seizing Land was actually Lin Chang’sheng.
So now, she didn’t bother calling him Daoist Long anymore.
Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t surprised—Yu Lingfei wasn’t stupid, she must have guessed it was him long ago.
"I’m just glad you’re all right. So, how come you were chasing people from Taiyin Island alone all the way out here?"
Lin Chang’sheng asked.
He was really curious about what actually happened here.
"Just days ago, after my master left Yanyue Immortal Sect, those Taiyin Island bastards started secretly making moves against us. They poisoned hundreds of our sect disciples. Thank heavens the sect still has a Supreme Elder holding the fort, who repelled Blood Demon Daoist and the other Demon Dao cultivators from Taiyin Island. The remaining scum scattered everywhere. To stop these Demon Dao scoundrels from harming others, I chased them all the way here!"
Yu Lingfei didn’t hide anything from Lin Chang’sheng, telling him everything that happened.
This just showed how rampant the Demon Dao had become in the Southern Realm—not even major sects scared them anymore. They already harbored the ambition to take control.
"The situation in the Southern Realm really is grim right now. Not only is the Demon Dao running wild and infiltrating from the shadows, but we’ve also got the Beimu Immortal Race invading, and now even the Eastern Desolate Demon Race is entering our territory. If the major sects don’t unite to fight off these outsiders, I’m afraid—"
Lin Chang’sheng looked genuinely worried.
As someone from the Southern Domain Cultivation Realm himself, he naturally hoped his homeland wouldn’t be invaded by outsiders.
But now, the Liuyun Immortal Sect had openly broken with him, and their ties with the other major sects were a mess too.
They probably weren’t willing to join the fight against those external threats.
"Don’t worry. As long as the major sects work together, we’ll overcome all these crises!"
Yu Lingfei firmly believed that good would always prevail over evil.
That faith was the heartfelt resolve she’d held to all her years of cultivation.
"Let’s hope so."
Lin Chang’sheng didn’t want to dwell on it—he still had plenty else to take care of.
Realizing night had deepened and she was alone in a room with him, Yu Lingfei grew a little embarrassed.
"My master’s waiting for me to report back to the sect, so... I’ll go now!"
With those words, Yu Lingfei tried to get to her feet and leave.
But as soon as she stood, a wave of weakness hit her, spinning her vision. She collapsed again.
Thank god Lin Chang’sheng caught her—otherwise, she’d have hit the ground.
A faint sweet fragrance drifted over, making Lin Chang’sheng’s heart race a little.
"You’re still badly hurt. Rest here for the night before you leave! I’m next door—call me any time if you need anything!"
How could Lin Chang’sheng not know what Yu Lingfei was worried about.
She thought it would be inappropriate for a man and woman to share a room—if anyone else saw, it’d ruin her reputation for sure.
Lin Chang’sheng decided to take the neighboring room. After saying that, he got up to go.
"Lin Chang’sheng!"
Just as Lin Chang’sheng was leaving the room, Yu Lingfei’s weak voice sounded behind him.
Lin Chang’sheng turned his head and saw Yu Lingfei taking out a blue-green fruit from her storage space, wrapped in dense spiritual energy.
"I was lucky enough to obtain this Divine Origin Fruit in the Void Divine Hall. It’s filled with potent Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi—if you take it, it’ll not only boost your cultivation but also add fifty years to your life. You saved me—I want you to have it as a token of my gratitude!"
Yu Lingfei’s cheeks flushed red, and she didn’t dare meet Lin Chang’sheng’s gaze.
She had waited for this moment for so long.
She’d thought she might never see Lin Chang’sheng again in this life.
She never expected that their next meeting would be under these circumstances.
"You’re seriously injured right now—it’s you who needs this more than I do! You should take it yourself!"
Of course Lin Chang’sheng wanted it too—anything that could boost his cultivation and lifespan wasn’t easy to come by.
But Yu Lingfei was so weak right now; she needed it more for healing.
"You’ve saved my life twice—this is my heartfelt thanks. Please, take it! If you refuse, it means you look down on our friendship. If we meet again, I swear I won’t talk to you!"
Yu Lingfei spoke earnestly.
Seeing how sincere she was, Lin Chang’sheng couldn’t let her down, so he stepped forward.
This woman could sure change her tune fast—one moment everything was fine, the next she’s threatening to never see him again.
Women are something else!
"Since Miss Yu insists, I’ll accept with thanks. Take care and heal well."
Lin Chang’sheng stepped forward and took the Divine Origin Fruit from her.
The closer he got, the thicker that Spiritual Qi—it was definitely an extraordinary item.
He never thought Yu Lingfei would really give him something so precious as repayment.
With those words, Lin Chang’sheng left the room, leaving Yu Lingfei alone.
"Do you understand... my feelings?"
After Lin Chang’sheng left, Yu Lingfei whispered to herself, a look of longing on her face.
...
Lin Chang’sheng got himself another room, right next to Yu Lingfei’s.
Alone now, he took out the withered old man’s corpse from his storage bag and started searching it for that so-called treasure map.
He looked for a while but found nothing.
"Maybe it’s in his storage bag?"
Lin Chang’sheng opened the old man’s storage bag. There was a huge pile of spirit stones inside—over ten thousand, nearly a little mountain.
On the side sat six or seven middle-grade magical artifacts, plus all sorts of herbs.
"Thousand-Year Blood Lotus? Isn’t that exactly what’s needed to refine a Flawless Nascent Soul Divine Pill?"
Among the medicinal ingredients, Lin Chang’sheng found a blood-red lotus.
This thing grew only in places saturated with spiritual energy, took three hundred years to sprout, five hundred years to bloom, and at a thousand years it could finally be used in alchemy.
Lin Chang’sheng thought finding a Thousand-Year Blood Lotus would practically be impossible. Yet here it landed right in his lap, without any effort at all!
Someone practically delivered it on a silver platter!
"Now with a thousand-year-old ginseng and a Thousand-Year Blood Lotus, I’ve got the two main ingredients, only the Seven-Colored Divine Soul Flower is left!"
Lin Chang’sheng calculated that refining the Flawless Nascent Soul Divine Pill required a full sixteen ingredients, but the hardest to find were the ginseng, blood lotus, and Seven-Colored Divine Soul Flower.
The Seven-Colored Divine Soul Flower was the rarest—they say it likes water, growing only near it.
Rumor was it could even feed on a person’s Divine Soul to nourish itself.
Even if you didn’t use it in alchemy, just eating one would boost a cultivator’s Divine Sense.
Its wonders were obvious.
But it was almost impossible to find.
"Bloodthirsty Poison Technique, Yin Yang Body Casting Technique, Nine-Turn Poisonous Dart!"
Besides those ingredients, Lin Chang’sheng also found three secret manuals in the old man’s storage bag.
The Bloodthirsty Poison Technique used toxins from all sorts of venomous snakes, scorpions, and frogs, then bathed the whole body in them.
Running the unique technique, the cultivator refined toxic blood and merged it into themselves.
Once perfected, their blood and magical power would both be laced with poison.
Just like that final palm strike the old man used—even though it wasn’t that powerful physically,
the toxin almost killed Yu Lingfei.
If Lin Chang’sheng hadn’t cured her in time, she’d probably already be dead.
"That’s a nasty technique, but damn, it’s ruthless!"
Lin Chang’sheng figured he’d cultivate it for a bit—heading to the Demon Evil Sea would take time, and he couldn’t afford to waste any chance to improve.
As for the Yin Yang Body Casting Technique, though, Lin Chang’sheng wasn’t about to try it.
It was a body strengthening technique, sure, but required dual cultivation between a man and a woman.
But each time you practiced it, it cost the female partner her life.
Practiced nine hundred ninety-nine times, and you’d reach Perfection.
At that point, your body would be unbreakably tough and immune to all poisons.
But doing it nine hundred ninety-nine times—wasn’t that killing nine hundred ninety-nine women?
No wonder everyone practicing in the Demon Evil Sea walks the path of the Demon Dao!
Their cultivation techniques are just monstrous.
Lin Chang’sheng had the Saint Buddha Golden Body anyway, so poisons couldn’t touch him now.
He tossed that book aside immediately.
The last one was Nine-Turn Poisonous Dart, a hidden weapon treasure manual.
A hidden weapon that could change its attack path nine times mid-flight—catching the enemy completely off-guard.
"This could be combined with the Celestial Thunder Flame Arrow!"
Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself.
This loot really wasn’t bad.
"Huh? Could the map he mentioned be this?"
Just as Lin Chang’sheng was about to close the storage bag, he noticed a map unrolled on the ground nearby.
It depicted mountains and rivers.
A winding red line ran across it, really catching the eye.
"Could that old bastard have hidden the rest of the treasure?"
Lin Chang’sheng mused.
Whatever it was, it had to be important to the old man.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Lin Chang’sheng to keep it safe, telling him to collect it in three days.
He was really just afraid it’d fall into someone else’s hands.
"Better check it out! With any luck, there really is a treasure!"
Lin Chang’sheng tucked the map away, planning to head for the marked location the next day.
Who knows what else he might find.
"First, I should take the Divine Origin Fruit—it should really boost my cultivation."
Lin Chang’sheng decided to use the Divine Origin Fruit from Yu Lingfei first. Raising his power was most important.
Just like Celestial Concealment Divine Master always said—before absolute power, all skill is meaningless.
Your cultivation realm is the foundation of everything, more important than any Immortal Technique or Spirit Treasure.
Lin Chang’sheng took a bite of the Divine Origin Fruit—a sweet taste instantly flooded his mouth, while thick Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged through his body, shooting into every limb and bone.
Some of that spiritual energy even shot straight up, fusing into his Divine Sense.
It boosted his Divine Sense, too.
"This fruit really is exceptional!"
After finishing the fruit, Lin Chang’sheng started refining all the potent spiritual energy inside.
With his magical power, he guided it through his body, nourishing every organ, tendon, and sinew.
His constitution grew tougher; his strength multiplied.
His Divine Sense got a major boost too—the range of his perception stretched another three hundred miles or so.
"I’ve reached the peak of Golden Core Middle Stage?"
After refining all the energy from the Divine Origin Fruit,
Lin Chang’sheng suddenly realized his cultivation had soared up to the peak of Golden Core Middle Stage—one more step and he’d break through to Golden Core Late Stage.
"Such an incredible treasure, and Yu Lingfei insisted I keep it for myself?"
Lin Chang’sheng found it hard to believe. Saving someone’s life should absolutely be repaid, but as a cultivator, you’d think she’d put her own growth first.
No one passes up resources that can strengthen their cultivation.
And the Divine Origin Fruit gave such a huge boost—he couldn’t believe Yu Lingfei gave it away so insistently.
"That girl... she really is impossible to figure out."
Lin Chang’sheng pushed the thought from his mind and began to study the two Immortal Techniques he’d acquired.
Once he mastered them, he could blend them with his own Immortal Techniques—it’d unleash even greater might for sure.
