The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 251 - 250: Developing Little Gold’s Work Capability
The Snow Maiden came quickly and left just as fast.
Her cultivation level was extremely high, and soon she had vanished from Lin Yun’s sight.
The followers of the Great Mist Tribe, those who had been subdued, had originally held little loyalty, but after the Snow Maiden’s departure, they began to kneel down to Lin Yun one after another.
The conversation between Lin Yun and the Snow Maiden had been in the Grassland language, which they also understood, and so they learned that Lin Yun was actually a child of the Snow Mountain. The Grassland People held great awe for the divine, and those who had been somewhat recalcitrant were now bowing their heads, wishing they could offer everything to Lin Yun.
This was the unique culture of this place.
It was completely different in the Central Plains; they believed in gods to some extent but were ultimately self-centered.
On the path of cultivation, let alone gods, if Heaven stood in their way, they would show defiance.
Of course, whether or not they could succeed was another matter.
It was thanks to this environment that Lin Yun’s status as a Divine Child was respected, rather than his body being coveted.
"Let’s go, let’s set out!"
Lin Yun felt it was not wise to stay here for long. Once the Snow Maiden realized he was not a Divine Child, she would undoubtedly return in a rage to settle the score with him, and Lin Yun had no confidence he could escape from her clutches.
Bai Jiaojiao should be able to run, but it would be too difficult to flee with two people of lower realm, not to mention some mortal women.
They must hurry back to the Central Plains!
The Grassland People whom Lin Yun had gathered now worshipped him fervently, and surely carried out any order he gave with the utmost diligence.
So, leading a mighty procession of thousands, Lin Yun marched eastward.
With the Grassland empty and wide open, Lin Yun had nothing else to do, so he took the opportunity to begin cultivating.
He could rely on Xiao Qing for Qi Cultivation, but for body refining, he needed to rely on...
"Little Gold, can you help me out?"
The consumption from using Void Evade had already been recovered by Little Gold, thanks to the unlimited supply of Spiritual Liquid. Its recovery was naturally swift, but these past few days it had felt somewhat embarrassed, doing nothing and just receiving Spiritual Liquid for free. As a spirit with thoughts, morals, and standards, it internally rejected such idleness.
If it could do something for Lin Yun, that would be great.
And now, the opportunity had arrived.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Take a look at this technique..."
Lin Yun recounted the Shenxiao Body Refinement Technique to Little Gold. The Shenxiao Body Refinement, which involved using thunderbolt to temper the body, was not something Lin Yun felt appropriate to perform in front of so many people. However, leading a large army to the Mountain and River Pass would take some days, and if they were to march at top speed, they could reach it in a day, but such haste would be too conspicuous and raise suspicions.
Living in the midst of enemies, even if he was in a hurry, he had to move strategically and with caution.
Therefore, Lin Yun did not choose to march quickly but proceeded at a normal pace.
At a faster rate, they might arrive in two days; at a slower pace, it might take three days.
Lin Yun did not want to waste this time. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
So, he turned his attention to Little Gold.
Little Gold was also of Thunder attribute; surely it could help with body refining too!
"This technique is somewhat low-grade, I think it could be improved upon."
The Shenxiao Body Refinement Technique involved being struck by thunderbolt and surviving the ordeal, which would condition the body to adapt to such attacks and thereby toughen the physique. By persisting, the body would naturally become more resilient.
Little Gold felt this method was too crude. Being a spirit, it had a more nuanced understanding of power.
"This so-called enhancement of resistance is simply the body absorbing some of the Power of Thunder. The increase in strength is also because there’s more Spiritual Power embedded in the flesh. We could skip the ’damage–recovery’ step and directly have your body absorb the Power of Thunder."
Upon hearing Little Gold’s words, Lin Yun quickly understood.
Compared to forcefully hammering Spiritual Power into his body, following Little Gold’s more efficient method was obviously the better choice.
"Then you do it!"
With Lin Yun’s command, Little Gold began to travel through Lin Yun’s meridians.
If it were external thunderbolts, they certainly couldn’t be directly channeled into the meridians, but Little Gold was the gentler Resurrection Thunder. It could control its own power and gradually permeate the Power of Thunder into Lin Yun’s meridians without hurting him.
If one were to cultivate the Shenxiao Body Refinement Technique normally, it would have to penetrate from the outside to the inside.
Even though Little Gold was very gentle, Lin Yun still felt a kind of electric joy.
That tingling sensation was refreshing and invigorating.
Not only that, but after Little Gold had circulated once through his body, Lin Yun felt completely unobstructed.
His meridians rarely operated Spiritual Power, except when exhaling to feed Xiao Qing. At that time, Lin Yun would circulate his True Qi, which had not yet liquefied and wasn’t golden.
Afterward, following dual cultivation with Dongfang Hongyue, his Immortal Body finally activated. Lin Yun never really cultivated on his own since then; the True Qi had always been directly refined by Xiao Qing.
Normally, there would be some loss when True Qi circulated within the body during cultivation. This loss actually nourished the meridians along the way. Without this step, Lin Yun’s meridians naturally had never been nourished.
This time, with Little Gold artificially nourishing them, Lin Yun naturally felt completely refreshed.
So comfortable that he felt sleepy, he pulled Bai Jiaojiao over to lean on and fell asleep on the spot.
Bai Jiaojiao: "???"
Although she didn’t mind being close to Lin Yun at all, but...
Why just hold her and do nothing else?
Little Gold circulated another cycle within Lin Yun’s body. While nourishing Lin Yun’s body, it was surprised to find that Lin Yun’s body was rapidly absorbing the Spiritual Power it released.
Does Lin Yun also have a Thunder Attribute talent?
But what’s up with the clump of fire within him?
Fire and Thunder compatibility is no conflict, but Xiao Qing has both Water and Wood attributes, which naturally conflict with Fire and Thunder, yet she thrived in Lin Yun’s body like a fish in water, which was very strange.
Water and Fire are incompatible, and it’s impossible for a person to have both attributes simultaneously unless they encompass all Five Elements, which generate and overcome each other.
Little Gold harbored doubts but couldn’t delve too deep into them. It just had to keep circulating, which was its job for the day, nourishing Lin Yun’s physical body, with a daily wage of eight drops of Spiritual Liquid.
That was a raise.
Meanwhile, Xiao Qing was guiding the Great Mist that leaked from the Chaos Pearl onto the Fire Lotus to roast, turning it into new Spiritual Liquid.
The Great Mist didn’t need Xiao Qing to absorb and purify it, as it was already the purest Divine Power, and the efficiency of turning it into Spiritual Liquid was high. Without Xiao Qing’s guidance, however, the Great Mist would dissipate everywhere.
The factory within the Dantian operated orderly, supporting Lin Yun’s cultivation. As for what Lin Yun needed to do... well...
That was probably just sleeping. Such is the boredom of being the boss, having nothing to do.
Not until four hours later, as the sun began to set, did Lin Yun finally wake up.
"Has nothing happened along the way?"
Lin Yun opened his eyes and, without letting go of Bai Jiaojiao in his arms, directly asked.
"Yes, we were conscripted by a Desert General to go to Mountain and River Pass. I heard that the Grassland People suffered a great defeat and reinforcements were being called for. Seeing you asleep, and since our destination was there in the first place, I didn’t wake you up."
Lin Yun: "???"
