Wudong: I, inward cultivation, made Lin Dong cry

As he concentrated on his cultivation, three days quickly passed.

Upon the rocky mountain, the youth sat quietly, an extremely vast vitality vaguely spreading out from within his body.

At this moment, in front of the youth, stood a woman with a refined and aloof temperament, quietly watching the youth immersed in cultivation.

A trace of inexplicable emotion flashed across her face, which was partially concealed by a veil.

“He really has changed a lot,”

Ling Qingzhu murmured to herself, although she still treated Lin Yun with a certain coldness, she revealed some of her inner thoughts when alone.

Perhaps no woman can truly remain as calm as a lake towards a man who has taken her purity, even someone like Ling Qingzhu.

Ling Qingzhu gently touched her smooth, jade-like cheek with her hand, her eyes filled with a look of reminiscence.

The young man from back then had finally reached this point, even surpassing her in strength.

Thinking of this, a faint smile couldn't help but appear on her face.

“Hm?”

Just as Ling Qingzhu smiled faintly, her expression suddenly changed, and she raised her head.

Then, she saw that the youth, who had his eyes closed, had opened them at some point.

Their eyes met, catching Ling Qingzhu off guard. Suddenly, she saw a smile appear on Lin Yun's face, and then he reached out and, while she was stunned, pulled off the veil on her face.

The veil slipped down, and a breathtakingly beautiful face entered Lin Yun's eyes. That stunning appearance made him blurt out:

“So beautiful!”

Only after the veil was removed did Ling Qingzhu regain her senses. The eyes, usually as calm as a lake, finally lost their indifference and began to fill with a hint of shame and anger as she hastily retreated.

She said with shame and anger, “You…”

Seeing this, Lin Yun chuckled dryly. He had acted impulsively just now and hadn't thought too much about it.

His thoughts began to stir.

If it were anyone else, Ling Qingzhu would have immediately drawn her sword and attacked, but now she was just staring at him with shame and anger, without even threatening him. It seemed that his position in her heart had improved significantly.

Thinking of this, Lin Yun couldn't help but grin.

Seeing him still smiling, Ling Qingzhu harrumphed softly.

“Hmph.”

This hmph sounded somewhat like a reproach. Then, she took out another veil and covered her exquisite face again.

Lin Yun also restrained his aura and slowly stood up.

Feeling his body, he muttered to himself, “Just a little bit more and I'll reach the Great Perfection of the Life Profound Realm.”

Ling Qingzhu, who had gradually calmed down beside him, glanced at Lin Yun with her beautiful eyes and said, “It seems that you've gained all the benefits from this Ancient Burning Heaven Treasury.”

Lin Yun couldn't help but smile upon hearing this. If he hadn't been well-prepared, not to mention whether they could obtain any treasures, if that Demonic Spirit had escaped, they would probably all be in trouble.

Fortunately, not much has changed.

Thoughts flashed quickly through his mind, and Lin Yun turned his head and asked, “How long have I been cultivating this time?”

“Three days.”

“Three days, huh?” Lin Yun nodded, then a smile appeared on his face as he asked, “Why didn't you leave first?”

Ling Qingzhu had clearly been nearby for the past three days. She could have left earlier, but she didn't.

Hearing this, Ling Qingzhu averted her gaze from his face and said indifferently, “There are still many things left behind from ancient times here. I just wanted to explore them.”

“Is that so?” Lin Yun smiled, then added, “Thanks.”

“If you're done cultivating, let's go!”

Lin Yun nodded and bowed again towards Burning Heaven, who was sitting cross-legged like a statue beside him.

Then, without any hesitation, he turned and flew towards the remaining spatial vortex in the distant sky.

Ling Qingzhu quickly followed, and finally, the two of them disappeared into the spatial vortex at the same time, vanishing from sight.

Within the crimson basin, a space writhed and transformed into a spatial vortex, and two figures flew out from within, one after the other.

Lin Yun hovered in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the basin. The original sea of people had disappeared, and as far as the eye could see, there were only a few scattered figures.

Looking at this scene, Lin Yun asked, “What are your plans now? Are you going back to the Nine Heavens Pure Palace to oversee the situation, or…?”

Ling Qingzhu shook her head, her gaze fixed on a direction deep within the Demonic Spirit Domain, and said faintly, “I still have something to take care of.”

Seeing the direction she was looking, Lin Yun asked, “That place is where the most Demonic Spirit monsters are in the Demonic Spirit Domain. What are you going to do there?”

“According to the information I obtained from the ancient texts I read, there is a ‘Pure Immortal Pool’ deep within this Demonic Spirit Domain, which was left behind by a powerful figure from ancient times.”

After Ling Qingzhu paused slightly, she continued softly, “The Nine Heavens Immortal Art that I cultivate from the Nine Heavens Pure Palace is too sharp. In the past, when I was cultivating, I had problems and injured the meridians and internal organs. Therefore, I need the ‘Pure Immortal Pool’ to heal my injuries and counteract the aftereffects brought about by the Nine Heavens Immortal Art.”

Lin Yun was stunned, not expecting that she actually had hidden injuries.

In the moment that he was stunned, Ling Qingzhu said indifferently, “Let's part ways here. We'll meet again at the teleportation array. Take care.”

After speaking, she didn't hesitate and her figure transformed into a streak of cyan light, flying towards the horizon. After a moment, the cyan light suddenly stopped.

Because at this time, a youth appeared in front of her.

Seeing her looking over, a bright smile immediately appeared on the youth's face.

“Let me go with you, and give me a chance to repay your kindness.” Lin Yun smiled quite freely.

Ling Qingzhu stared at him in a slight daze, and a struggle began to appear in her heart.

The pride in her heart made her somewhat unwilling to accept, but when she saw the bright smile on his face, she agreed, perhaps due to some kind of psychological impulse.

“Whoosh!”

Two streaks of light quickly flew past the low altitude.

These two figures were Lin Yun and Ling Qingzhu, who had set off together from the Ancient Burning Heaven Treasury.

“It’s here.” Ling Qingzhu, Ling Qingzhu's slender jade finger pointed to a mountain range appearing in the darkness ahead. Her usually cold voice also quietly relaxed at this moment.

Lin Yun raised his head to look. A mountain range ahead was looming in the darkness. From a distance, it looked like an ancient beast covered in pitch-black armor coiled around it.

Vaguely, roars of violent Demonic Spirit monsters were heard from within.

“Let's go!” Lin Yun said.

Ling Qingzhu nodded. The two of them shuttled through the depths for about half an hour.

The dimness ahead suddenly brightened a lot, and a valley appeared in Lin Yun's line of sight.

Seeing this, the two figures swept onto the valley like ghosts, and then they saw that in the depths of the valley, a pool of water was flickering with colorful luster. The light spread out, illuminating the entire valley, making it magnificent and beautiful.

“That is the Pure Immortal Pool.”
