Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Working Hard to Become a Superior Person

Question: What kind of experience is it to start your undercover mission by messing with the enemy's big boss?

Lin Yun would like to respond with a song.

Iron doors, iron windows, iron chains...

Right after their dual cultivation ended, Dongfang Hongyue put on her clothes and acted like she didn't recognize him.

"I, Dongfang Hongyue, have cultivated for three hundred years, and you are the first to treat me like this. Tell me, how should I torture you to alleviate the hatred in my heart?"

Utter humiliation!

Even though she later became the master herself, looking back now, it seemed like she didn't profit from it...

Enraged, Dongfang Hongyue condensed a goldish-red lotus flower and injected it into Lin Yun's body.

This was Dongfang Hongyue's Lifebound Flame, which was originally red, but after dual cultivation with Lin Yun, it turned goldish-red.

Afterward, Dongfang Hongyue locked Lin Yun up, and by the looks of it, she seemed intent on dealing with the aftermath of the rebellion first before taking care of him.

With the Fire Seed inside him, not only could she control Lin Yun's life and death at will, but she could also ignite the Fire Seed to let Lin Yun experience the agony of being burned alive.

Now Lin Yun's Dantian was quite lively. Above the Qi Sea, a goldish-red lotus floated, and also in the Qi Sea, there was a little green snake.

The snake was much smaller than the lotus flower, with a large head and a small body, looking quite cute.

This was the Azure Dragon Gu Worm. It had feasted on a great amount of high-quality Spiritual Energy in the past few days, successfully hatched from its shell, and had even evolved.

Lin Yun could feel its intelligence had improved. Before, it could only convey instinctual emotions; now, it could share a wider range of emotions with Lin Yun.

Currently, the Azure Dragon Gu Worm was very interested in the lotus flower in Lin Yun's Dantian but did not dare to approach it and even seemed a bit scared.

A thought crossed Lin Yun's mind—could it be that the Azure Dragon Gu Worm was afraid of this Fire Seed?

That was an unexpected blessing.

Finally, unable to resist its curiosity, the Little Green Snake suddenly inhaled a big mouthful of True Qi, stirring up Lin Yun's Qi Sea into turbulence.

Then, it ferociously spat at the Fire Lotus. This was a tentative attack from the Azure Dragon Gu Worm, but upon contact with the Fire Lotus, the True Qi burned away like fuel.

"Are you kidding me? Is this trying to bring me back to square one?"

Cough cough, that's not the point.

The point is, cultivation is not easy!

There are nine realms of cultivation in this world, also known as the Nine Layers of Ascension to Immortality. These nine realms are divided into three stages.

The first stage consists of the three realms of the Foundation Establishment phase: Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, and God Storing.

The original host had already reached the God Storing Realm, where "God" refers to the mind.

The three foundational realms can be reached by anyone with time; it's just a question of how much.

But the three layers of the Mortal Transcendence Stage in the second phase require both opportunity and insight.

The fourth realm, Mortal Transcendence, is where cultivators merge their essence, energy, and spirit, and become sublimated, shedding the mortal coil and truly stepping onto the path of immortality.

Lin Yun was forced to fuse his essence, energy, and spirit together like a magical treasure undergoing tempering during dual cultivation, saving him from grueling cultivation.

Many cannot enter the Mortal Transcendence Realm in their entire lives.

The fifth realm, Divine Cultivation, is where one cultivates their Divine Soul, gaining the ability to use divine skills.

The sixth realm, Heart Guarding, is as far as Lin Yun's basic knowledge goes. Before reaching Heart Guarding, all the realms are clear; one knows what they are doing and how to make progress.

However, upon reaching Heart Guarding, cultivation becomes mysterious and profound.

Most in the Cultivation World linger in the second stage, with only a few extraordinarily talented individuals reaching the third stage.

That is the Heavenly Mandate phase, the ultimate destination of cultivation.

Celestial Knowing, Enlightened, and the final ninth layer is called the Defiant Heavenly Realm.

Lin Yun dared not even consider the later stages at this point. For now, he also belonged to the mid-low tier of cultivators.

The original host took three years to go from Qi Cultivation to God Storing; Lin Yun took three days to go from scratch to Mortal Transcendence but lost much more.

Lin Yun transmitted his anger to the Azure Dragon Gu Worm, which immediately stopped exhaling and curled up pitifully.

Hey, it actually listened!

Feeling the Azure Dragon Gu Worm's emotions, Lin Yun felt another weight drop from his heart.

He seemed like he could actually cuckold Green Lotus.

However, there was still an unruly Fire Seed in his Dantian.

Thinking thus, the True Qi that had been burned by the Fire Lotus returned to Lin Yun's Qi Sea.

Compared to the original milky True Qi, the fire-burned True Qi carried a faint golden hue, was reduced by half in quantity, but was much purer in quality.

"Could it be that this Fire Lotus has the effect of purifying True Qi?"

Of course, the purer the True Qi, the better. There's only so much space in the Qi Sea; the same sized Qi Sea holding different qualities of True Qi means different fighting abilities.

"Goodness me, and here I thought I was the tool, yet they turned out to be the ones handing out treasures!"

Lin Yun wasn't able to move True Qi himself to feed the Fire Lotus, but the Azure Dragon Gu Worm could. Green Lotus and Dongfang Hongyue, it seemed, had inadvertently coordinated wonderfully.

"Continue, don't stop!"

Lin Yun issued a new command to the Azure Dragon Gu Worm, which still didn't understand why its master had been angry just now. It was still young, after all, and didn't know much. It would just do whatever its master commanded.

Inhale deeply, then exhale.

Draw breath, release breath...

A young Little Green Snake thus began its first day of wage labor in Lin Yun's Dantian.

If it knew that its fate was also to be a laboring snake, it might regret having hatched...

Lin Yun, however, hadn't thought that much ahead. Since Dongfang Hongyue didn't kill him, who's to say she wouldn't take back the Fire Seed later? Better to use it a few more times while he still could.

However, he hadn't noticed that as more of his True Qi was infused, the Fire Lotus had taken on his shape.

At this point, Dongfang Hongyue, busy for the entire day, thought of the man who had wronged her.

Recalling the time when she had been in the throes of burning desires, how Lin Yun had treated her, Dongfang Hongyue felt a twitch in her teeth.

"Hmph, I'll let you taste the same flavor!"

With a thought, Dongfang Hongyue tried to incite her Fire Seed to burn Lin Yun a bit, but then...

Where's my Fire Seed?
