After Lin Yan triggered the Innate Saint Body, the development in his cultivation was indeed amazing.
Just within half an hour, a faint glow pervaded his body, indicating that he got into Qi Refinement successfully.
“...I'm too sour from training Qi for only half an hour."
Seeing the outcome, many people in front of the Linglong Treasure Mirror, were as sore as Lin Feng, well their reason was different though.
Even if they were now Great Saints, or even Immortals, seeing such cultivation speed of Lin Yan made them stunned.
After all, even the children who got the best cultivating resources, and who were truly blessed by the heavens, would at least take seven days or more to enter into Qi Refinement.
That’s just how difficult to sense the qi.
What's more, it was necessary to maintain the circulation of aura in the body during the whole process.
For poorly gifted cultivators, it even takes years and months to enter into Qi Refinement Stage.
Yet, these difficulties don’t seem to exist for Lin Yan at all.
As time passed a little bit, the glow on his body become stronger and stronger.
And!
-The First Level of Qi Refinement!
Then, -The Second Layer of Qi Refinement!
.
.
.
-The Fifth Level of Qi Refinement!
…
The Qi Refinement stage had a total of twelve realms.
And in just half a day, Lin Yan broke through to the ninth layer in one breath as if he was simply drinking water and eating.
Of course, the crowd outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror was already frozen due to shock.
Even the thought of jealousy was gone and the only thing present was respect for the real genius.
What's more, Lin Yan was only cultivating the most basic Qi cultivation technique.
On other hand, Lin Feng couldn't help but grimace: "Back then, after I ate 10,000-year-old spiritual ginseng, I also broke through the Qi cultivation stage in half a day. The Qi Refinement, it's nothing remarkable."
…
Just when the crowd thought that Lin Yan would break through the Qi Refinement stage in one breath and enter the innate realm, unexpectedly, he stopped his cultivation.
Raising his head, Lin Yan looked at the red sun in the sky.
At this moment, it was already sunset in the west, and in a short while, the sky would be darkened.
"...There are still eight hours left."
Then, Lin Yan bent down and picked up the Qi Refinement booklet in his hand, and softly whispered those words under his breath.
…
This soft voice reached Xiao Yanran's ears.
Instantly, it made her body shiver slightly.
She thought that Lin Yan had forgotten about her injury, so he didn't go out today to look for a cure for snake poison.
However, from the beginning, Lin Yan didn’t forget this matter.
All this time, he firmly remembered the time inside his heart.
…
Lin Yan stopped cultivating and left the stream, seemingly walking around aimlessly.
By the time the sunset was completely set, he was already taking things like ropes, scythes, and axes.
The crowd in front of the Lingering Treasure Mirror kept watching Lin Yan's every move, but, in the end, even they didn’t know how he managed to quietly collect these things!
…
"Could it be that he is going to fight for the demon snake?"
"That's not right, he doesn't even know where the demon snake is, how can he go to the demon snake to fight with his life."
"If he's not going to go look for the demon snake to fight, then what is he doing with all those weapons?"
The people in front of the Linglong Treasure Mirror all looked doubtful.
If Lin Yan actually wanted to cure his sister, it seemed that there was only one way left to get the demon snake's snake gall.
Regardless, even they were a bit puzzled by Lin Yan's current actions.
"Don't worry guys, he will definitely find the demon snake." In the midst of everyone's suspicion, a faint voice sounded.
The person who spoke was none other than Teng Gang.
When the people heard it, they around turned their heads to look at him.
Tang Gang just put a bitter smile and said, "You do not know the Emperor. Although he is proud of himself, his mind is careful, any details cannot hide from his observation. Although we didn’t see any demon snakes, this is definitely not hidden from him.”
But someone laughed: "Teng Gang, you talk too greatly about the emperor. If he really has such a careful mind, how can he still be trapped by us with the Ling Long treasure mirror."
Teng Gang just shook his head and said, "This is also the most puzzling for me, maybe … maybe … he is really careless this time."
Amidst the muttering voices of the crowd outside the mirror, Lin Yan inside the Ling Long treasure mirror, had arrived at a bun store and bought meat buns there.
In the past, he could never spare them, and occasionally, he would buy a few for his younger sister Xiao Yanran to relieve her sister's hunger.
But today, he walked into the bun store with great arrogance.
"Boss, get me three … no, five meat buns."
It was as if he wanted to eat back all the buns he couldn't afford to eat in the past in one
breath.
Lin Yan asked for five meat buns.
When the meat buns were served up, regardless of the heat inside, he immediately grabbed and swallowed them.
Even for adults, it was difficult to finish the five full-sized meat buns.
In the end, not a single one was left.
Even if he couldn’t eat, he still put the last bun, stuffed into his mouth.
He fed himself to the fullest.
After that, Lin Yan got up, left the bun store, and left the village.
At this moment, the sky was already turned completely dark.
Step by step, he walked into the mountain forest outside the village.
In the dark mountains, he was walking non-stop, and constantly moving forward.
He was like a lone wolf, running towards its prey and going to fight with his life.
Even the people who had doubts about Lin Yan at the beginning could see the determination on his face, and couldn't help but think that he was not going to return empty-handed… for sure.
