[Wuxia] Hunting Beauties in the Qin Dynasty (Complete) - 20

Chapter 122 Pei Ling's Worries
Update Time: 6-28 16:52:40 Words: 1723

Inside the bedroom, Princess Yu Ling, disheveled and unkempt, lay on the phoenix couch, covering her face with a huge phoenix pillow. The chattering of the maids outside annoyed her. However, thankfully, the new maid, Pei Ling, was sensible and understood her heart.
She removed the pillow, revealing a face as clear as jade, her eyes red from crying.
Gazing at the painted decorations on the ceiling, she sighed softly and murmured, "Brother Long, how could you be so heartless? Am I not even as good as Ling Yun?"
However, she then thought again, why should she, a princess, be so distressed over a mere Long Lin? Since he didn't cherish her, why should she be distressed for him?
Thinking this, her mood improved considerably. Suddenly, she heard a soft rumbling sound and realized she had been hungry for a whole day.
She immediately got up, opened the door, and went out. Just as she was about to call Meixiang, she changed her mind and called out, "Peiling, go get some food!"
"Yes!"
a sweet voice replied from afar.
Peiling smiled at Meixiang and Danxiang, giving them a wink. The two women's faces immediately lit up with surprise and delight. This included joy at the princess's change of heart and admiration for Peiling.
Since being arranged into the Jade Spirit Palace by Ziran, Peiling had been quite gentle, clever, and understanding, and was well-liked. Now that the princess was calling her directly, it was clear that she held a certain place in the princess's heart.
Watching Princess Yuling wolf down her food without regard for the princess's manners, Peiling, Meixiang, and Danxiang exchanged a knowing smile.
"Princess, eat slowly,"
Meixiang said.
Princess Yuling hadn't eaten a single grain of rice all day. She hadn't felt anything before because of her sadness, but now she felt extremely hungry and wanted to fill herself up completely.
Only after she finished two plates of exquisite pastries in one go did she stop, satisfied. After the maids finished tidying up, Peiling came to do Yuling's hair.
"Princess, I don't think you need to be sad. Even if you like him, with your princess status, can it really have a future? It's enough to just keep him in your heart."
Peiling said softly as she combed Princess Yuling's hair, seeing that Princess Yuling was in a good mood.
"Keep him in my heart?"
Princess Yuling murmured, looking at her delicate face reflected in the gleaming bronze mirror.
"Yes..."
Peiling replied, the jade comb gliding smoothly through the long, thin strands
of hair. Suddenly, as if remembering something, Princess Yuling stood up. Fortunately, Peiling was agile, her hands moving in a blur as she instantly removed the jade comb; otherwise, Princess Yuling would have been pricked by its sharp points.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Peiling asked hurriedly, startled.
"Oh! I suddenly remembered something!"
Princess Yuling said apologetically, looking at the bewildered Peiling. She sat down again and said, "Peiling, hurry up and help me with my makeup. I have something to do in a bit."
Peiling agreed, secretly thinking that Princess Yuling's sudden outburst must mean something important, though she wondered if it was related to Longlin. However, knowing her own status, she didn't ask too many questions and simply finished Princess Yuling's makeup quickly.
"Peiling, go and call the Shadow Guard!"
After finishing her makeup, Princess Yuling looked at her stunning reflection in the mirror and said to Peiling.
"Shadow Guard?"
Peiling was taken aback and asked.
Yuling then realized that Peiling didn't know about the Shadow Guard. She blinked and pondered, "Then go and call Meixiang!"
It seemed that Princess Yuling indeed had many secrets! What was a Shadow Guard? Was it a person? Several thoughts flashed through Peiling's mind in an instant. She agreed and went outside to call Meixiang.
Meixiang took out a delicate whistle from her bosom and gently blew it, a slender, long sound carrying out. A short while later, faint footsteps sounded outside the Jade Spirit Palace, and several phantom figures landed swiftly before it.
Mei Xiang glanced at them and said, "The princess invites you in for a meeting."
The men in black nodded and replied, "Yes, Miss Mei Xiang!"
Pei Ling noticed that their movements suggested unusual martial arts skills, especially their agility, which was in no way inferior to her own teleportation technique. She was observant, but she also noticed faint gray cloud patterns embroidered on their black sleeves.
It turned out the hidden guards weren't a single person; they seemed to be highly skilled bodyguards of the princess. Pei Ling murmured to herself, wondering why Princess Jade Spirit had summoned these hidden guards.
"Peiling, you come in too!"
Mei Xiang suddenly said.
"Yes, Sister Mei Xiang,"
Pei Ling replied, secretly pleased. Clearly, Princess Jade Spirit considered her a confidante. This way, she wouldn't need to bother finding out what these hidden guards were up to.
Three hidden guards stood neatly before Princess Yuling, with Meixiang, Danxiang, and Peiling standing beside them, all gazing at the noble-looking princess.
"Uncle Yue, could you please send someone to investigate those Butterfly Guards? I want to know why the Sixth Prince attacked the Alchemy Workshop,"
Princess Yuling said, seemingly showing considerable respect for the hidden guards.
"Yes...Princess!"
said one of the black-clad men in the middle of the three hidden guards, his voice sounding somewhat aged. After speaking, he led the other two hidden guards out, their figures vanishing without a trace in a flash.
However, Peiling was wondering what had happened to her husband, Long Lin. She felt she needed to go find her eldest sister, Xue Niang.

Chapter 123: Repeating the Same Old Plan Update
Time: 6-29 8:36:48 Words: 1814

As the sun was just setting in Xianyang City, under the cover of night, Long Lin quietly sneaked into the palace.
Upon entering the Qin Palace, Long Lin immediately noticed that the palace guards had become much more lax, perhaps because the First Emperor was away on an inspection tour.
In the Jieyu Palace, where the female officials resided, Long Lin easily found Zi Ran.
Zi Ran was visibly surprised to see Long Lin, and then quietly led him into a secret room. "Brother Long, what brings you here?" someone asked.
Long Lin smiled slightly and said, "I've come to familiarize myself with the situation. If possible, I'd like to see Chu Yu'er."
Zi Ran blinked her beautiful eyes and nodded, saying, "Alright, it's the time when the guards change shifts, they're most relaxed. You can disguise yourself as a female official and come with me to find her."
"You actually came up with this idea! Is this kind of game of men dressing as women and women dressing as men common in the palace?" Long Lin suddenly remembered Princess Yu Ling's incident of leaving the palace disguised as a man, and thought to himself, but his face showed a hint of embarrassment. "Zi Ran, please spare me, I'll never look like a female official!"
Zi Ran glanced at Long Lin, lightly covered her fragrant lips with her jade hand, and chuckled. Sure enough, Long Lin would probably feel very uncomfortable wearing her female official's clothes.
"Then what should we do?" Zi Ran sighed, her bright eyes looking at Long Lin.
“How about this? I’ll transform into a white rabbit, and then you can carry me to find Chu Yu’er. Once we get there, just hand me over to her,”
Long Lin said after a moment’s thought. She had used this white rabbit trick in Xue Fei’s palace before, so she was quite adept at it now.
“That’s a good idea, but how can you transform into a white rabbit, Brother Long?”
Zi Ran asked, slightly taken aback. This Long Lin always brought her surprises.
Long Lin smiled faintly and said, “Your Brother Long is almost a god now, look!”
As he spoke, a burst of red light suddenly erupted from his body, startling Zi Ran so much that she almost screamed. The red light flashed, and Long Lin had disappeared, leaving behind a snow-white jade rabbit with red eyes.
“Brother Long, is this real?”
Zi Ran asked in disbelief, looking at the slender, hopping, and extremely cute little rabbit.
“Of course it’s real, let’s go!”
Long Lin jumped forward to Zi Ran’s feet, perked up his ears, and said.
"Okay!"
Zi Ran squatted down and hugged Long Lin.
Long Lin immediately smelled the unique fragrance of a virgin, and playfully rubbed against her chest, finding the softness very pleasant.
"Mmm...you naughty rabbit!"
Zi Ran giggled, playfully flicking Long Lin's long ears with her jade-like hand, and said with a pout. For some reason, she hugged Long Lin even tighter and walked outside.
"So this is what it's like for a young girl to be in love! Hehe..."
Long Lin smiled inwardly, no wonder girls like to hold those big stuffed animals in their arms.
Long Lin rolled his eyes, enjoying the fragrance and the wonderful feeling between her full breasts, while leisurely admiring the beautiful scenery of the palace along the way.
Since Zi Ran was a second-rank female official in the palace, her status was not low, so the guards and maids all treated her with utmost respect. Unconsciously, Long Lin suddenly felt that the way those people looked at him also seemed to be utmost respect.
Walking through corridors and rooms, Zi Ran quickly arrived at the gate of a palace.
Guards stood at the entrance, and Zi Ran immediately approached them to announce her arrival.
Inside Consort Yu's palace, Chu Yu'er was watching the fish by the lake in the back garden. She wasn't accompanying the First Emperor on his eastern tour, so she had some free time.
Hearing a palace maid announce that Zi Ran requested an audience, she paused slightly and said, "Please invite her here!"
Seeing the maid turn away, she glanced at the koi in the pond, her beautiful eyes lowered. Thinking of her own situation, so similar to the fish in the pond, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Yu'er, what are you thinking about?"
A sweet, delicate, and gentle voice rang out, and Zi Ran had quietly come to her side.
Throughout the entire palace, because of their special relationship, only Zi Ran could see her when she wanted to, and she could call her by her nickname without being bound by palace etiquette.
"Hmm, Zi Ran, don't you think we're like the fish in this pond? Seemingly bright and lively, but actually just ornamental items kept in a pond,"
Chu Yu'er said.
Chu Yu'er is getting sentimental again! Zi Ran chuckled softly and said, "Yu'er, why do you say that? These fish are still better than those sold in the market and then slaughtered!"
Hearing Zi Ran say this, Chu Yu'er actually smiled, her mood improving considerably. She then turned and asked, "Zi Ran, is something the matter?"
"Ah... what an adorable little rabbit!"
Only then did she notice that Zi Ran was holding a snow-white rabbit.
"I knew you were feeling down, so I specially brought you this snow rabbit!"
Zi Ran said with a slight smile.
Chu Yu'er opened her arms to take the snow rabbit. Seeing her delighted expression, Zi Ran secretly thought that Long Lin had really made the right bet this time. She had been a little worried that if Chu Yu'er didn't like it, she might just hand it over to the guards to kill and cook.
Long Lin's red eyes darted around, and without waiting for Zi Ran to see him off, he lightly leaped into Chu Yu'er's arms. A captivating fragrance wafted over, ethereal and delicate, a world apart from the scent emanating from Zi Ran's arms.
"So sweet!"
Chu Yu'er exclaimed, stroking the snow-white jade rabbit, which resembled a cloud.
However, seeing Long Lin so eagerly jump into Chu Yu'er's arms, a slight pang of jealousy stirred within her. She couldn't show it at this moment, and simply smiled, "Yes, I was worried you wouldn't like it!"
"How could I?"
Chu Yu'er lovingly cradled the white rabbit in her arms, smiling warmly. She was currently bored, and having such a snow rabbit as a companion was exactly what she desired.

"Since that's the case, I'm relieved!"
Zi Ran glanced at the jade rabbit again, then happily took her leave.
Long Lin, held in Chu Yu'er's arms, was deeply moved. Not for anyone else, but because he had discovered a unique fragrance emanating from Chu Yu'er, a fragrance only a woman could possess.
"Could it be that Chu Yu'er, who has been an imperial concubine for so long and is inseparable from the First Emperor every day, is actually still a woman?" He wondered to himself, turning his head to look at Chu Yu'er with a surprised expression.
Chu Yu'er's beautiful eyes were also fixed on the snow rabbit, and she suddenly felt a sense of astonishment, because she felt that the snow rabbit's eyes were strangely familiar.
"Little darling, what are you looking at? Is it because I'm pretty?"
Chu Yu'er smiled sweetly. Since no one was around, she joked with the rabbit.
Long Lin chuckled inwardly. He had originally planned to reveal his true colors as soon as he saw Chu Yu'er, but hearing her words, he instantly changed his mind.
Being a rabbit, eavesdropping on her secrets that she couldn't tell outsiders—wasn't this the perfect opportunity?
"You naughty rabbit, what are you laughing at!"
Chu Yu'er scolded playfully. She seemed to see the rabbit looking at her with a wicked grin, and she immediately spoke up.
"Of course I'm laughing at you...hehe!"
Long Lin thought to himself, but turned his head and stared blankly at the stone table in the lakeside pavilion, about to break free from Chu Yu'er's embrace.
On the stone table were some rare fruits and fine wine.
"So you're still a greedy rabbit. Okay, I'll take you to eat!"
Chu Yu'er spoke to Long Lin, the rabbit, in a tone as if she were talking to a child, and then walked towards the stone pavilion.
Long Lin secretly chuckled to himself. What kind of rabbit wouldn't be a rabbit if it wasn't greedy? He just wanted to play the role of a real rabbit well. He lazily let Chu Yu'er hold him, secretly sighing that being such a rabbit was truly blissful. With a beautiful woman by his side and delicious food to accompany him.
Long Lin lay on the stone table, enjoying a fragrant papaya. Chu Yu'er looked at him tenderly.
Just then, Long Lin suddenly straightened up, because he heard footsteps coming from afar.
Chu Yu'er, of course, didn't notice. She poked Long Lin with her jade finger and laughed, "Eat up, little rabbit, what are you looking at!"
Long Lin took another bite of papaya, then turned his gaze to the left. Along the cool corridor, a tall, handsome young man in brocade robes, eight feet tall, with a face like jade and eyes like bright stars, was walking towards them. He looked dashing and debonair, but Long Lin saw a sinister and malevolent glint in his eyes.
At this moment, Chu Yu'er also noticed the approaching young man in brocade robes, but said nothing. Instead, she silently picked Long Lin up.
"Your Highness, Consort Yu, you seem to be in a good mood today!"
the young man in brocade robes said casually as he approached, without offering any formalities.
Chu Yu'er, holding the snow rabbit, gave a slight bow and said, "Consort Yu greets the Sixth Prince..." Her voice was devoid of emotion, as if it were a routine matter. Clearly, she didn't like this Sixth Prince very much.
Long Lin was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected to meet the Sixth Prince, whom he had been looking forward to seeing, here. Because he had learned from the Taoist Wuye that the Butterfly Guards who had assassinated him and Princess Yuling in the alchemy room that day were the Sixth Prince's men.
"Consort Yu is Father Emperor's consort, so it should be Yuxuan who pays respects. Why must Consort Yu be so formal?"
the young man in brocade robes laughed, his eyes constantly glancing at Chu Yu'er.
"Sixth Prince, we are all alone in this forbidden area of the inner palace. Please do not linger, lest it cause gossip!"
Chu Yu'er said. She didn't like the Sixth Prince at all, because he had harbored ill intentions towards her ever since he entered the palace.
"Who dares to gossip about me?"
the Sixth Prince Yuxuan suddenly chuckled. "I'm entering the inner palace to pay my respects to the Empresses. Would anyone say anything? Consort Yu is overthinking it!"
Chu Yu'er, rebuked by the Sixth Prince, fell silent.
At this moment, Yu Xuan stepped forward again and said, "Consort Yu, we are actually about the same age, so there's no need to be so formal with palace etiquette in private! I know that Father is away on tour, and my sister Yu must be lonely. I've come to visit and keep her company. Aren't you welcome?"
As he spoke, he reached out to touch Consort Yu's jade-like hand hidden in her sleeve.
What an annoying fellow! Chu Yu'er thought to herself, taking a step back to avoid his outstretched hand, and bowed her head, saying, "Sixth Prince, please have some self-respect. After all, we still have
the proper bond between mother and son!" Seeing Chu Yu'er dodge, the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan chuckled and said, "Sister Yu'er, why be so formal? Am I not much better than Father, who is old and frail?"
Chu Yu'er wanted nothing more than to slap this disgusting fellow, but this was the palace, and she naturally knew their respective positions. Moreover, she knew very well that this Sixth Prince was actually a master of Taoist magic. Even if she resisted, she was no match for him.
Two blushes rose on her face as she said, "Sixth Prince, how can you say such a thing?"
Seeing Chu Yu'er's beautiful face and graceful figure, her shy and timid demeanor, Yu Xuan could no longer contain himself. He took a step closer and said, "Hehe, besides, since there's a mother-son relationship, a mother-son embrace wouldn't violate the principle of not touching each other, would it..."
As he spoke, his hand touched Chu Yu'er's clothes, pulling her delicate body into his arms.

Update Time: 6-30 8:15:04 Words: 1599

"What are you doing?"
Faced with the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan's lewdness and violation, Chu Yu'er cried out, tightly hugging the white rabbit that Long Lin had transformed into, trying to break free from his large hand.
"What I'm going to do, don't you know very well?"
The Sixth Prince Yu Xuan chuckled, "Come here!" With a forceful pull, Chu Yu'er lost her balance and fell against him.
Just as Yu Xuan was excited about his imminent success, a blinding red light flashed before his eyes, followed by a massive fist hurtling towards him.
Startled, he stumbled back several steps, clutching his face. He barely managed to regain his footing and was about to retaliate when a deafening roar filled his head. A powerful kick to his temple sent him flying through the air, tracing an arc before crashing into the lake with a thud.
Like a cannonball, Yu Xuan plunged to the bottom, the water rippling and splashing.
The icy water instantly jolted Yu Xuan awake. He leaped out of the water, but when he looked for the stone pavilion, Chu Yu'er was nowhere to be seen!
"Damn it!"
the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan cursed, struggling to swim ashore. Standing by the lake, dripping wet and utterly disheveled, he glared angrily at the still shimmering water. He used his magic to conceal his clothes with a radiant glow before storming off.
Of course, he couldn't confront Consort Yu over this. Although the First Emperor wasn't in the palace, he didn't want such a shameful affair to become public knowledge.
He was simply wondering who had acted in that situation! Had the First Emperor left powerful guards around Consort Yu before his eastern tour?
"Brother Long, what brings you here?"
Consort Yu was swept into her bedchamber by a gust of wind. When she saw that the person before her was Long Lin, she was stunned, and only spoke after a long pause.
Long Lin chuckled, "Don't you remember that rabbit?"
"It was you?"
Yu Fei was startled, then exclaimed in surprise, "How could this be?"
Long Lin's lips curled into a smile, giving Yu Fei a friendly look, and said, "Why not? Actually, I'd love to be a peaceful rabbit in your arms, but unfortunately, I ran into that unlucky fellow!"
Long Lin's mention of the Sixth Prince, Yu Xuan, caused Yu Fei to gasp and whisper, "Oh no!" Although the Sixth Prince appeared dignified on the outside, he was ruthless and vicious. Having suffered such a great loss, how could he possibly let it go?
"Brother Long, we've gotten ourselves into a huge mess!"
Yu Fei said.
"What huge mess? We just beat up that damned Sixth Prince!" Long Lin said dismissively. He had secretly rejoiced when Yu Fei addressed him as "we," clearly indicating that she had accepted their relationship.
"Yu Xuan is ruthless and narrow-minded; he definitely won't let us off this time,"
Yu Fei said anxiously. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a hint of worry played on her lips, making her appear pitiful.
Long Lin stepped forward and pulled Yu Fei into his arms, saying, "It's alright, Yu'er. As long as I'm here, that damned fellow won't be able to harm you in the slightest!"
"Mmm!"
Yu Fei didn't struggle in Long Lin's arms, letting him enjoy her warm and soft body. Although she was still a little worried, she could only agree verbally.
"Alright... don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine!"
Long Lin chuckled, reaching out to gently stroke Yu Fei's delicate nose, saying.
"Brother Long..."
Yu Fei's beautiful eyes were filled with affection as she glanced at Long Lin. This familiar feeling reminded her of the past. Back then, she too had been a remarkable hero, but she had lacked the closeness she felt with the Long Lin before her.
Just then, she heard Long Lin ask, "Yu'er, is the First Emperor good to you?"
Chu Yu'er was slightly taken aback, but sighed softly. From the outside, she was the emperor's favorite concubine, always by his side, but who knew that she was actually like a prisoner, constantly being controlled by others?
No one knew that Chu Yu'er had harbored murderous intent ever since she first met the First Emperor, though he seemed to sense it. Before she could act, he had already secretly exposed her scheme. She then realized that Ying Zheng, who had unified the six kingdoms and established the powerful Qin Dynasty, was indeed an extraordinary figure.
Afterwards, although the First Emperor outwardly appeared to dote on her, he was actually quite distant from her, never even sharing a bed with her; those occasional acts of intimacy were merely for show.
Why would he act this way against a woman who wanted to assassinate him? Was he trying to influence his opponent to demonstrate his omnipotence?
This was something Chu Yu'er couldn't understand.
"Hmm..."
After listening to Chu Yu'er's detailed account, Long Lin couldn't help but nod inwardly. "This First Emperor Ying Zheng was indeed no simple figure. No wonder the Qin Empire was as solid as a rock when he lived, but immediately crumbled after his death."
However, thinking of this, he smiled and asked, "Why did you want to assassinate the First Emperor?"
In fact, Long Lin had sensed that Chu Yu'er was extraordinary when he was in Dangshan. If it weren't for the message from Kong Ling, the daughter of the Green Emperor, asking him to bring her to Xianyang, he probably would have already taken her in his possession.

Update Time: 7-1 14:05:56 Words: 1755

Chu Yu'er gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes, and said, "I have an irreconcilable hatred for that First Emperor!"
It turned out that when the First Emperor led his army to conquer the six states, the Qin cavalry encountered endless fires along the way, leaving rivers of blood and piles of corpses wherever they went. Chu Yu'er's parents died in the war.
Later, she was taken in by Xiang Liang, a general of Chu, and became a singer in his household. However, she could not give up her desire to avenge herself against the Qin Emperor, so she took advantage of a beauty pageant to infiltrate the contestants and travel all the way to Xianyang.
"So that's how it is. You've had a hard time!"
Long Lin said emotionally. He naturally knew that the beautiful woman before him was Yu Ji, who would later commit suicide at the Wujiang River, causing Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Chu, to lose his courage and fight to the death, but he had not expected her to have such a complicated background. Since she came from Xiang Liang's household, she must have met Xiang Yu.
Hmph! Xiang Yu, although you are a hero of the world, you are not as fearless as a woman. You even relied on her blood to stir your blood. Since you don't cherish her, don't blame me, Long Lin, for stealing her away.
Thinking of this, Long Lin embraced Chu Yu'er even tighter, saying, "Don't worry, Ying Zheng won't live much longer. Your parents' revenge will surely be achieved!"
Chu Yu'er had sensed Long Lin's extraordinary nature back in Dangshan. Later, he escorted them to Xianyang without harming them in the slightest. With her shrewdness, she certainly didn't think Long Lin was the kind of shameless villain who would use them to gain power and wealth, nor was he a servile lackey who feared the First Emperor's power and dared not touch his women.
Therefore, she had never felt any aversion towards Long Lin; on the contrary, their feelings deepened day by day from Dangshan to Xianyang. Long Lin's words moved her deeply. Her large, expressive eyes gazed at Long Lin's sharply defined face with a tender gaze, lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?"
Long Lin smiled, his words intoxicating, like the fragrance of flowers, a beauty lost in thought.
Chu Yu'er snapped out of her reverie, realizing her thoughts, and two blushes appeared on her face. The woman shifted slightly, only then realizing she was still in Long Lin's arms. Her face flushed with shyness, she lowered her head and said, "It's nothing..."
"Yu'er, actually, these past few days apart, I've thought of you constantly!"
Long Lin coaxed her sweetly, seeing her feminine demeanor. It was true; he had indeed been thinking of Chu Yu'er frequently these past few days.
"Really?"
Chu Yu'er murmured, pressing her neck against Long Lin's clothes, listening to his strong, pounding heartbeat, which made her heart flutter.
"Of course it's true. As long as we kill that Ying Zheng one day, I'll take you far away!"
Long Lin said.
"Brother Long, you're so good to me!"
Chu Yu'er felt a sense of security and happiness she had never experienced before, held in two long, strong arms. It seemed that only now did she feel like a woman.
Thinking this, her whole body felt hot, her temperature rising, and the area where her hands touched Long Lin's felt unbearably hot.
Who was Long Lin? He naturally sensed this subtle change in Chu Yu'er.
"Hehe... This is a rare opportunity indeed. If not now, when?"
he thought to himself, yet he also followed the heat of the woman's body, his large hands slowly roaming over her.
Chu Yu'er was in the prime of her twenties, a time when young women yearn for love. Under the powerful stimulation, she quickly fell into a state of intoxication, her fair and beautiful face flushed, her eyes glazed over as if in a trance, even her fragrant red lips became even more lustrous.
Everything was so natural, as if spring had naturally transitioned into the fiery summer.
"Brother Long, do you really want Yu'er?"
Under Long Lin's large hands, Chu Yu'er was already somewhat unable to control her arousal, her breath like warm purple flames, making one's heart even more itchy and uncontrollable.
"Yes..."
Long Lin said firmly, inhaling the unique fragrance that only she possessed, the urge rising in his heart making him want to take a deep breath of the snow-white skin exposed below her neck.
"Alright... Brother Long, please wait a moment."
Chu Yu'er spoke softly, gently pushing Long Lin away. Her small hands slid down to her neck, slowly opening her robe. As the silk palace dress slid down, her two ice-sculpted breasts were revealed. Long
Lin's mind went blank for a moment, a slight buzzing sound filling his head. Over the years, he had seen countless women, whether it was Elisa and Fengshan Xiuzi from his previous life in the modern world, or Lü Zhi, Liu Yu'er, and Bai Xiunü he encountered after arriving in the Great Qin Dynasty, or the Ten Beauties of Dangshan, or Xue Fei, De Fei, and Quan Fei in the Epang Palace—all were peerless beauties of their time. In terms of overall appearance, they might be comparable. But if we were to judge solely on these two snow-white breasts, then with Chu Yu'er, all the beauties would pale in comparison.
"Hmm..."
Long Lin's eyes were fixed on her, and he couldn't help but let out a soft groan. His blood rushed to his head like a geyser, and in a moment of distraction, before Chu Yu'er's palace dress had even fallen to her waist, he swept her up in his arms and greedily kissed her rosy nipples.
"Mmm..."
Chu Yu'er let out a dazed groan, obediently letting Long Lin release her, arching her back and gently wrapping her snow-white arms around the back of Long Lin's neck.
The temperature in the entire palace suddenly rose. Even the crimson color on the phoenix bed seemed to become even more intense.
"Slow down... Brother Long!"
Chu Yu'er called softly, but her calls only served to provoke Long Lin to launch an even more ferocious attack on her.

Update Time: 7-1 14:07:19 Words: 3541

"Brother Long, I don't want to stay in this Qin Palace anymore."
Holding onto Long Lin's strong arms, Chu Yu'er said in a soft, sweet voice.
"Why? Didn't you want to assassinate the First Emperor?"
Long Lin asked, his arms filled with the soft, fragrant beauty. He had already absorbed Chu Yu'er's phoenix energy, and the power of the Eight Phoenixes within him was abundant, making him feel inexplicably comfortable.
Chu Yu'er shook her head and sighed, saying resentfully, "Actually, the First Emperor already knows I intend to kill him, but for some reason, he won't let me leave his side. Moreover, his Hidden Dragon Guards are constantly watching me, so I have no chance to act."
Long Lin was shocked. "What? The First Emperor knows you intend to kill him?"
Chu Yu'er pondered, "Yes, I tried to assassinate him once when I first entered the palace, but I failed."
"Why?"
Long Lin asked. He knew Chu Yu'er was also a martial arts expert, her skill no less than that of the Butterfly Guards. If she found the right opportunity, assassinating the First Emperor shouldn't be a problem.
"Brother Long, you may not know, but the First Emperor was actually a master of magic."
Chu Yu'er sighed softly.
Now Long Lin was truly surprised, but after a moment's thought, it was entirely possible. The Qin Emperor unified the world; it would have been difficult without genuine talent and skill. Moreover, he was particularly enthusiastic about the art of immortality, so he must have practiced some kind of magic.
"That time, my dagger had already pierced his chest, but it was ejected by a burst of white light. However, the First Emperor did not hold a grudge against me. Moreover, upon learning that Qin soldiers had killed my parents, he seemed quite sympathetic towards me. He still allowed me to stay by his side,"
Chu Yu'er said.
Long Lin secretly admired Qin Shi Huang, who was indeed extraordinary. Regardless of the hidden secrets behind this, his magnanimity and spirit alone were enough to awe people.
"However, no matter how good he is to me, it cannot prevent me from harboring murderous intentions towards him!"
Chu Yu'er gritted her teeth and said, "Moreover, I will destroy his Qin Kingdom and ensure that he will never have peace!"
"This coincides with my purpose!"
Long Lin thought to himself. He then said, "The Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, standardized weights and measures, and unified the written language. Its power is currently at its peak, and overthrowing it will not be an easy task."
Chu Yu'er nodded and said, "Yu'er understands, but I also learned in this palace that the First Emperor's life is nearing its end. Therefore, I must return and borrow General Xiang Liang's strength to overthrow this tyrannical Qin."
Long Lin inwardly gasped. Could history really be so coincidental? Would Chu Yu'er truly become Xiang Yu's concubine?
"Yu'er, actually, Xiang Liang may not necessarily be able to accomplish this great feat!"
Long Lin said, rubbing his nose.
Chu Yu'er said, "Even if it's impossible, we should still try. Xiang Liang currently commands 30,000 troops, holding sway over a region, and his prestige among the remaining forces of the six kingdoms is extremely high. When the time comes, a single call to arms will surely garner responses from all sides."
"That's the truth!"
Long Lin thought to himself. However, he was unwilling to let Chu Yu'er become Yu Ji, so he said, "Yu'er, do you know my brothers in Dangshan?"
Chu Yu'er nodded and said, "Brother Long, I understand what you mean. I know you are all extraordinary people. But my mind is made up, and it's hard to turn back."
Long Lin sighed inwardly. Although Chu Yu'er appeared gentle and alluring, she was actually quite strong-willed. So he said, "Alright, since you're willing, then I won't stop you anymore!"
Although he said this, he had already made a decision in his heart: he would definitely do everything in his power to turn the tide and give Chu Yu'er a good ending, and he would never let her end up committing suicide at the Wujiang River.
"Thank you, Brother Long..."
Chu Yu'er said, then stood up, calmly straightened her clothes, and looked at the sky, saying, "Brother Long, this palace is very chaotic. Although you have magic, I think the Sixth Prince will definitely not let this go. It would be better if you left here first."
Long Lin smiled slightly and said, "Since you don't want to stay in the Qin Palace, then let's leave together. I will send you back to Jiangdong, how about that?"
Chu Yu'er thought for a moment and said, "How easy is that! Jiangdong is thousands of miles away, separated by mountains and rivers. How can I go back so easily?"
Long Lin smiled and said, "Why is it impossible? A thousand miles is just a moment's journey. Come, come with me outside!"
As he spoke, he took Chu Yu'er's hand and walked outside. Upon arriving in the courtyard, he waved his hand lightly, and a white light flashed, and an extremely magnificent ship appeared on the open ground.
A beautiful maid dressed in white stepped off the ship and approached Long Lin, bowing respectfully. "Xue Jun greets Master."
"Xue Jun, please pack your things quickly. I need to take Yu'er back to Jiangdong,"
Long Lin instructed.
Xue Jun agreed, glancing at Chu Yu'er with her beautiful eyes before giving a mysterious smile.
"Brother Long, what's this?"
Chu Yu'er asked in surprise after Xue Jun re-entered the ship.
Long Lin smiled slightly and said, "This boat is called the Wingless Flying Ship, it's my magical treasure, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day. Let's not delay, let's set off now!"
Chu Yu'er said, "Then thank you very much, Brother Long!"
Long Lin smiled and said, "What are you being so polite about? Perhaps after this parting, we don't know when we'll meet again!"
Chu Yu'er was also somewhat moved, and said, "Brother Long, Yu'er will remember you. It's just that the revenge for my parents is not yet complete, and I dare not think too much about myself. If there is an afterlife, Yu'er will definitely serve Long Lin for the rest of my life."
She said, her eyes filled with glistening tears.
"Yu'er, your mind is made up, and I cannot stop you. However, believe me, whenever you are in trouble, I will definitely come to your rescue!"
Long Lin said, his heart aching.
At this time, Xue Jun had already tidied up the cabin, and Long Lin and Chu Yu'er boarded the ship, flying eastward.
Down to Xiangzhou in Jiangdong.
Long Lin quietly landed his wingless flying boat, then watched Chu Yu'er walk towards the city gate before returning to Xianyang.
Meanwhile, chaos reigned in Consort Yu's palace in the Qin Palace.
Consort Yu had disappeared!
The Qin Palace guards rushed into Consort Yu's palace, searching everywhere for her. They even searched the lake behind the palace, but still found no trace of her.
This news had already reached the Butterfly Guards, who reported it to the Sixth Prince, Yu Xuan.
"Hmph, this Consort Yu is indeed no ordinary person. This time she angered me, it seems she's afraid of my revenge and has secretly fled!"
the Sixth Prince Yu Xuan said angrily. Although he still harbored feelings for Consort Yu's beauty, he could only let it go now.
With the chaos over, several maids were made scapegoats for Consort Yu, and the turmoil surrounding her gradually subsided.
Long Lin received all this information from Zi Ran, Xue Niang, and others. Since returning from Jiangdong, he had been diligently cultivating in his alchemy room.
For some reason, the spiritual energy didn't cause him any trouble this time, and those mysterious men in black never came again.
In the quiet room, Long Lin sat cross-legged on a stone couch, cultivating his Intent and Power Scriptures.
The power of the One Dragon Eight Phoenixes was much stronger than before, and he needed time to digest this power and make it his own.
"Clang..."
Suddenly, a burst of red and gold light erupted from Long Lin's body. In his dantian, his original true energy had condensed into a crimson crystal. A golden crystalline light also appeared in his mind.
Refining Qi into crystal, refining Intent into light!
Long Lin was overjoyed; this meant that his Intent and Power Scriptures had reached a new level.
As he refined his Qi into crystals, he felt every pore on his body seemed to open wide, desperately absorbing the true Qi power from the surrounding space, continuously pouring it into the Qi crystal. Although this Qi crystal was now only the size of a grain of rice, the amount of true Qi it absorbed was ten times greater than before. He intuitively sensed that if he were to make a move now, he could probably easily demolish an entire house.
The improvement of the Power Scripture Technique would greatly increase Long Lin's strength. In addition, the improvement of the Intent Scripture Technique had an effect he had never imagined.
A crystalline light of intent floated in his mind, octagonal in shape, shining brightly, pure and without a single impurity, like a bright star in the night sky.
This crystalline light of intent possessed powerful perception and the ability to purify intent. Looking at it, Long Lin could cultivate the Intent Scripture Technique without any distracting thoughts, unlike before when he would inexplicably drift off.
The crystalline light flickered in his mind, like an incomparably pure eye gazing at Long Lin. Long Lin's scattered thoughts were drawn to the crystalline light, converging and gradually merging together to form new thoughts that then dispersed.
Suddenly, Long Lin felt he understood things more clearly, and details he had previously overlooked began to emerge.
At this moment, the information he was most concerned with about Ling Yun coalesced into a beautiful, flawless face. However, on the other side of the crystalline light appeared the demonic face of the Old Mother Jiushan, who had tried to kill her on the warning altar.
The two faces gradually merged, constantly shifting across the eight facets of the crystalline light, and soon they merged into one—the very same eagle that had died and been reborn.
Long Lin was immediately startled. In that fleeting moment, he had already learned Ling Yun's true identity: the Old Mother Jiushan.
"Did she come to the alchemy room for revenge? But, judging from her appearance, I can't detect a trace of demonic energy!"
Long Lin thought to himself. Knowing this, he became wary of Ling Yun.
Unbeknownst to him, a thought suddenly flashed through Long Lin's mind, and a verdant figure appeared at the crystalline light—the very image of Qing'er from his previous thoughts.
"Qing'er..."
Long Lin exclaimed, slightly startled.
The verdant figure stood before the crystalline light, seemingly hesitant, but then suddenly moved, flashing behind it.
To Long Lin's surprise, a stunningly beautiful face was slowly reflected on the golden crystalline mirror. Bright eyes, delicate lips, arched eyebrows, and a pink nose—especially the slightly upturned corners of her cherry lips, which possessed a mysterious, slightly feminine charm.
That charm inspired a sense of inferiority, an irresistible urge to kneel and worship. Although her appearance was exquisite and her demeanor noble, it was difficult to evoke any sense of disrespect.
"Long Lin, congratulations! You've comprehended my father's two sutras of willpower so quickly!"
Qing'er's feminine face showed a hint of surprise and praise, her melodious voice like heavenly music.
Long Lin smiled slightly and said, "Qing'er, it was all by chance, nothing to praise!"
"Brother Long, you were able to gather the Qi of the Eight Phoenixes in such a short time; it seems Father really didn't choose the wrong person," Qing'er said.
This was the first time Long Lin had seen Qing'er's true face. Before, she was just a vague shadow, but today he was instantly captivated. He said, "Qing'er, even if I'm shattered to pieces, I will save you. Now, who is the last woman with the Phoenix Qi? Can you tell me?"
Because Qing'er had only told him the names of the Eight Phoenixes, and the last one was obtained by chance, Long Lin was curious.
A smile appeared on Qing'er's face as she said, "Fate is just a thin line, sometimes near, sometimes far, always by your side! As for who it is, I really don't know; it all depends on fate."
Long Lin frowned. From Qing'er's words, the person with the Phoenix Qi was right beside him. But he was surrounded by beauties; he couldn't possibly try them all one by one, could he?

Chapter 128 So Close Yet So Distant
Update Time: 7-2 8:15:54 Words: 1712

Qing'er disappeared from Long Lin's thoughts, leaving him troubled. Who exactly was his Ninth Phoenix? This troubled him.
According to Qing'er, that person seemed not far from him, and even seemed to have a past connection with him.
Fate or not, it's all just a thin line; so close yet so distant, yet always by his side.
Long Lin murmured softly, his mind starting to consider the possible women around him.
Could it be Zi Ran?
Long Lin suddenly thought of Zi Ran's charming, smiling face, and his heart stirred. If he and Zi Ran were destined, then they were. But it was also possible they weren't. She was now a female official in the Qin Palace, so there was no question of marriage. More importantly, their relationship was truly in a state of solitary distance.
"Brother Long..."
A delicate voice came from outside the door; it was Ling Yun's voice.
"So it's that old hag! Luckily, I've already refined my will into light and know your true form, otherwise you'd still be kept in the dark like before!"
Long Lin thought to himself, but smiled slightly. Of course, he wouldn't expose Ling Yun's identity right now, but wanted to see what this old hag was up to.
"Junior Sister Ling Yun, come in!"
Long Lin agreed, raising his hand and pointing towards the door. The spiritual light barrier in front of the stone chamber automatically opened. Ling Yun's graceful figure and charming smile appeared inside the stone chamber.
"Junior Sister Ling Yun, it's so early... Didn't you practice today?"
Long Lin stood up and asked with a smile.
Ling Yun's clear eyes sparkled, her beautiful eyes glancing around, and she covered her mouth and giggled, saying, "Brother Long, it's already late, almost noon!"
"Is that so?"
Long Lin asked, carefully examining the outside, only then realizing that it was indeed close to noon. He chuckled, "So I was so engrossed in my practice that nothing happened. Hmm... Junior Sister Lingyun, is something the matter?"
Lingyun's eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled like a spring flower, "Actually, nothing much, I'm just feeling bored and wanted to chat with you, Senior Brother."
"Hmph! You old hag, what trick are you playing on me now? I bet the chat is just an excuse; you're trying to get something out of me!"
Long Lin thought to himself, but smiled slightly and said, "Alright... Come on, let's go for a walk."
Seeing Long Lin agree, Lingyun's face lit up with joy, and she murmured her agreement.
"Brother Long, have you heard about what happened in the Alchemy Room a year ago?"
On Alchemy Peak, a path led directly to the summit terrace. Long Lin and Lingyun walked arm in arm on the stone steps, like a sweet couple.
Lingyun, petite and charming, held Long Lin's arm, her expression one of blissful contentment. She had already informed Prime Minister Zhao Gao of Long Lin's identity. The instructions were to try and win him over, or kill him if that failed. Furthermore, Zhao Gao had someone deliver a pill to her, saying that if Long Lin took it, he would be under their control.
Long Lin, however, harbored a different thought. What secrets might Ling Yun hold when she inquired about the alchemy workshop? He smiled and said, "I've only heard about it, but I don't know the actual situation."
Ling Yun nestled her head against Long Lin's side and said, "Yes, I've only heard about it, but I know nothing else. Brother Long, please tell me!"
"Alright..."
Long Lin narrowed his eyes, scrutinized Ling Yun, and then smiled. He then recounted the events of the alchemy workshop tragedy a year prior, which he had learned from Wu Kong Dao Ren. Of course, he omitted some details about Wu Ye Dao Ren.
Ling Yun blinked, listening intently. She knew very well about the tragedy in the alchemy workshop last year; it was a conspiracy personally orchestrated by Prime Minister Zhao Gao.
He needed to train a group of highly skilled subordinates but lacked magical artifacts. The alchemy workshop's steward at the time was a man of former Prime Minister Li Si, so he completely disregarded Zhao Gao. While outwardly not disobeying him, he didn't actually take him seriously. As for precious metals and magical artifacts, they were rarely given to Zhao Gao to refine.
This angered Zhao Gao, but since most of the people in the alchemy workshop were Prime Minister Li Si's subordinates, he hardened his heart and ordered the disaster to occur, almost completely destroying the alchemy workshop.
Of course, before that, Zhao Gao still ordered his men to seize a batch of spiritual gold for refining magical artifacts and some finished magical artifacts. Therefore, after the alchemy workshop was destroyed, Zhao Gao's place became the largest storage place for spiritual gold and magical artifacts. It was because of this that many cultivators and some demons came to Zhao Gao for refuge. Ling Yun's predecessor, the Old Mother Ling Jiu, was one of them.
"So that's how it is... No wonder there are only a few of us in the alchemy workshop." Ling Yun nodded, then said with some regret, "It's a pity that those alchemy and artifact-refining masters and those precious spiritual gold and magical artifacts were all swallowed up by the earth fire."
Long Lin also sighed and said, "Yes, it's really a pity. However, as long as we practice diligently in the future, we will definitely be able to rebuild this alchemy workshop when our cultivation is successful."
Just then, they suddenly heard Ling Yun exclaim, "Brother Long, look what that is?"
At this moment, Long Lin and Ling Yun were standing not far from the top of the mountain. Not far away was a deep canyon. Nothing grew in the canyon, and it was bottomless, yet thick smoke rose from it all year round. It is said that during the disaster a year ago, subterranean fire surged from the ground and flowed into that canyon.
At this moment, a strange, five-colored light flashed in the canyon.
"Where the strange light arises, a spiritual treasure is born!"
Long Lin murmured, his heart stirred, but he said to Ling Yun, "Let's go, let's go take a look!"

Chapter 129 Spirit-Possessed Bronze Man
Update Time: 7-2 11:29:24 Words: 1694

The place of the five-colored light was deep in that canyon. Because of the disaster at the alchemy workshop a year ago, powerful subterranean fire flowed into this canyon. Although time has passed and the surface has been covered by a cooled stone shell, the subterranean fire still rolls beneath the stone shell, conducting upwards, causing heat waves to rise into the sky within the canyon, resulting in clouds and mist that never dissipate above the canyon year-round, and one can feel the scorching air even before getting close.
Two figures arrived in mid-air and stopped above the place of the five-colored light. Each of them was covered by a layer of light and shadow shield, blocking the heat. Looking down through the dazzling, multicolored light, one could vaguely see a tiny, golden figure sitting atop the scorching, grayish-black stone.
The figure, cast in bronze, had eyebrows, eyes, hands, and legs, standing no more than half a foot tall, yet it was remarkably lifelike. With each breath, multicolored light emanated from its mouth and nose.
"What is that?"
Lingyun asked in surprise, seeing the strange figure. She had initially assumed the radiant light in the canyon would contain some rare herbs or medicinal plants, but this strange bronze figure was a complete surprise.
Long Lin, however, remained silent, lost in thought as he examined the little bronze figure. Although equally unexpected, he felt a strange sensation upon seeing it. While the figure was cast in bronze and sat motionless, its breathing was as lifelike as a real person's. This reminded him of the jade slip he had seen in the secret chamber created by the Immortal Wuye.
The Bronze Man Spirit Possession Technique. That's exactly what the jade slip said. When Long Lin first saw the text, he was very curious, and since this method was one of the more advanced types of magical artifacts, he took a few more glances and memorized it. All cultivators possess magical power and a soul. Some higher-level cultivators, after cultivating their Golden Core, can maintain their physical body through the circulation of the Golden Core, and their souls can leave their bodies to travel the world for extended periods. Of course, lower-level cultivators cannot leave their bodies before cultivating their Golden Core; even if they do, it's only for a moment, no longer than three nights, and they can only observe, not do anything. The so-called Golden Core Path leads to immortality. Once the Golden Core is formed, it's like having one's own Golden Core circulation, equivalent to creating another world within the body, allowing the soul to leave the body and do many things.
However, while the Dao is easy to cultivate, only one or two out of millions of cultivators can truly achieve the Golden Core. Most remain in the brief stage of soul astral projection. It is said that among the hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the Qin Dynasty, only a dozen or so achieved the Golden Core. Even figures like Xu Fu were only close to achieving it. They possessed powerful magic and formidable strength, but still couldn't transcend the world and live freely.
Therefore, achieving the Golden Core was the dream of every cultivator. However, dreams are just dreams. Due to limitations in aptitude, environment, and opportunity, some people had no hope of forming the Golden Core. But what if they still wanted to achieve immortality? Many began to pin their hopes on magical artifacts. These artifacts were mostly forged from metal, stone, or spiritual materials, possessing the power of immortality for ten thousand years. Some cultivators specifically researched how to inhabit these artifacts after their souls had separated from their bodies, using the spiritual energy within to survive.
Of course, a magical artifact is still a magical artifact, not a human body, and although the soul could remain immortal for a long time after entering, it couldn't do anything—it was no different from being imprisoned. Moreover, if one encounters someone with profound Taoist skills, they might be enslaved and become their magical artifact or spirit pet.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, no one would willingly possess such a magical artifact. Of
course, there are exceptions, such as the bronze figure spirit possession technique that Long Lin saw in the jade slip. These highly skilled Taoists, after their souls leave their bodies, possess a bronze figure, then absorb its spiritual energy to help it develop enlightenment. Thus, the bronze figure can breathe, open its eyes, and move like a human. This is the bronze figure spirit possession technique. However, according to the slip, only highly skilled Taoists can perform this technique, and it must remain hidden for 365 years before it can reappear in the world. What
Long Lin sees before him is definitely this bronze figure spirit possession technique. Long Lin sees that the bronze figure has already learned to breathe and should even be able to blink, indicating that it has reached the point where it can suddenly become spiritually attached to the bronze.
However, Long Lin also saw in the jade slip that this bronze figure spirit possession technique is a heaven-defying act, and therefore will be subject to heavenly tribulation. It is even more severe than the heavenly punishment for a demon. Therefore, it is very difficult to succeed.
Just then, a rumble of thunder sounded from the horizon, and large swaths of dark clouds drifted in from afar. The bronze figure deep in the canyon remained seated, but its breathing suddenly quickened, as if it knew the heavenly tribulation was imminent and was intensifying its energy.
"Not good... Brother Long, let's go quickly, it's dangerous here!"
Long Lin hadn't felt anything yet, but her original demonic spirit was incredibly sensitive, immediately reacting to the dark clouds and the faint thunder. Every demon who transforms into human form faces a heavenly tribulation. When her predecessor, the Old Mother of Jiushan, transformed into human form, she practically shed a layer of skin, and only managed to escape by stealing the soul energy of several Taoists. The terror of that experience was something she would never want to experience again.
However, this time, she had transformed into human form using the power of the Spirit Condensation Pill, and her demonic energy was suppressed. Logically, she shouldn't be able to attract a heavenly tribulation, and even if her own tribulation arrived, it wouldn't cause such a commotion. Clearly, the thunder and clouds this time were far more powerful than when she faced her tribulation last time.

Chapter 130 Heavenly Tribulation Descends
Update Time: 7-3 9:38:08 Words: 3628

Thunder rumbled down, and dark clouds pressed down like a collapsing city, turning the entire canyon pitch black in an instant, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face. With a loud crack, blue lightning exploded in the sky, and arcs of electricity as thick as an arm struck straight into the canyon.
Lingyun urged Longlin to hurry up, but Longlin didn't move. Instead, he smiled slightly at her and said, "We're human, this lightning won't hit us. Why are we panicking? We might as well take this opportunity to see it properly. If we miss it, we'll never see it again."
Lingyun's face immediately changed color. She said, "This heavenly tribulation is extremely dangerous. It'll affect innocent bystanders."
"I'm not afraid!"
Longlin said nonchalantly. "Even the bronze figures below aren't afraid, so why should we be?"
Lingyun saw that the thunder was getting denser and denser, and countless lightning balls had gathered in the dark clouds, seemingly ready to pour down at any moment. "Brother Long, it's really dangerous here!" Ling Yun cried anxiously.
Long Lin glanced at her and chuckled, "No way, are you a monster? Afraid of thunder?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Yun paused slightly, a strange look flashing in her eyes, before replying, "I'm just a scaredy-cat!"
"Hmph, old monster, let's see how long you can keep up this act,"
Long Lin thought to himself. He then said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Come on, let's go down and take a look!"
With that, he pulled Ling Yun towards the canyon.
"No!"
Ling Yun was already extremely wary of the heavenly tribulation. Although the demonic energy within her had been suppressed by the Spirit Condensation Pill, her demonic roots were still intact. The heavenly tribulation lightning might just find her, and then she would be exposed in front of Long Lin. She cried out urgently, desperately breaking free from Long Lin, "I'm afraid of thunder! I'm leaving first!" With that, she
soared into the air, transforming into a streak of light and heading towards the Alchemy Workshop.
"You damned monster, I'll let you go this time!"
Long Lin sneered, looking in the direction where Ling Yun had disappeared. He turned and headed down into the canyon.
At this moment, the dazzling multicolored light emanating from the bronze figure at the bottom of the valley had vanished. It seemed to have sensed the approaching tribulation and had stood up, hands behind its back, looking as if facing a formidable enemy.
Long Lin didn't know who the soul within the bronze figure was, and dared not disturb it rashly. Instead, he found a crevice in the canyon and hid, watching from afar how the bronze figure would deal with the tribulation.
A black whirlwind swept down from the sky, directly towards the location of the silent bronze figure. The bronze figure suddenly opened its eyes, and a golden light immediately shot out, transforming into a similar whirlwind of light that met the black hurricane. With a tearing sound like cloth being ripped, the black hurricane instantly vanished.
Seeing the black wind destroyed, the bronze figure seemed more confident than before, looking up at the sky and shouting, "Even heavenly tribulation can't harm me! Come on!"
Its voice was ancient and long, yet extremely powerful, sending shivers down the spines of those who heard it. Long Lin shifted slightly, looking up at the sky. Just
as the bronze figure's shout faded, a deafening clap of thunder echoed from the sky, seemingly responding to its roar. Immediately afterward, a lightning ball the size of a head broke free from the lightning net within the dark clouds and crashed downwards. Wherever it passed, purple light blazed, as if igniting the air, distorting the very fabric of space.
Long Lin gasped. Despite his extraordinary physique, he knew that if he were struck by this lightning ball, he would be severely injured, if not killed. He wondered how the bronze figure would react.
He had expected the bronze figure to dodge, but to his surprise, it remained completely unfazed by the incoming lightning ball. Its legs stood firmly planted, and its short bronze left arm shot up in a majestic pose, a crimson beam of light shooting from its palm to meet the golden lightning ball head-on.
In an instant, the crimson light and the golden lightning ball collided, but unlike the violent collision between light and a hurricane, the crimson light instantly enveloped the golden lightning ball and pulled it down, instantly merging into the bronze figure's body.
Long Lin stared intently at the bronze figure, marveling at its strength and eagerly anticipating an even more exciting battle.
Suddenly, the bronze figure, having swallowed the lightning ball, let out a strange, seemingly painful howl, and its entire body burst forth with golden light. Within this golden light, the bronze figure, which had originally been only half a foot in size, suddenly swelled by an inch!
"Truly formidable!"
Long Lin sighed inwardly. It turned out this bronze figure was using the power of the heavenly tribulation lightning to strengthen itself.
The enlarged bronze figure possessed an even stronger aura than before, looking up at the sky and declaring, "Come on, let's see just how powerful this heavenly tribulation is!"
An even stronger thunderclap resounded in the sky. Although the lightning net within the dark clouds trembled, there were no lightning balls striking down like before. Suddenly, a flash of light collided between the lightning balls, instantly converging into a giant purple arc of electricity, thicker than a person, which tore through the sky with a deafening roar, striking down
towards the bronze figure. The bronze figure, now gazing at the sky, did not emit the crimson energy it had before. Instead, it stood motionless, its bronze lips opening and closing repeatedly, as if chanting some incantation. With the chanting, its entire body was enveloped in a faint, clear light.
Boom! The purple arc of electricity exploded on the bronze figure. The dazzling light momentarily blinded Long Lin, making it impossible to see anything clearly, but he gradually smelled a burnt odor.
When his vision returned, he looked at the bronze figure again. It still stood tall and unyielding, but a large pit, more than a foot deep, had formed around it, about three zhang in circumference. The bronze figure stood in this pit, only its bright yellow scalp visible.
"Damn it!"
Long Lin cursed involuntarily. Although the distance was considerable, the arc of electricity that had struck earlier had sent debris flying, and a large amount of rock debris was also flying towards them. In just an instant, it had buried most of the crevice he was in.
"Hehe... This is the second round of heavenly tribulation, Purple Lightning Thunder Slash! The third round, come on!"
The bronze figure's aged voice rang out, and a golden light flashed. The bronze figure leaped out of the pit and stood on its edge.
To Long Lin's surprise, for some reason, the bronze figure's golden light was now even brighter than before, and its size had increased by three-tenths. It had been less than half a foot before, but now it had grown to more than a foot tall.
Long Lin was astonished. Could this bronze figure actually use the power of heavenly tribulation to enhance itself? At this moment, the residual power of the Purple Lightning Strike had not yet dissipated, and countless dust particles filled the air. However, Long Lin was surprised to find that the surrounding spiritual energy seemed much denser than before.
"So that's how it is!" Long Lin understood, a hint of delighted smile appearing on his face. He no longer cared about the bronze man fighting the heavenly tribulation alone, and immediately chose a flat spot in the crevice to sit cross-legged and begin cultivating the True Technique of the Two Scriptures of Willpower.
At this moment, although the thunder and lightning roared in the sky, and countless lightning balls struck, causing the earth to shake violently, it had no effect on Long Lin in the slightest. At this moment, his True Qi circulated within his body, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy through countless pores on his skin, continuously drawing it into the Qi Crystal within his body. His mind was also as still as a stagnant sea, and the radiant light of willpower from countless streams of spiritual energy surged in, only to be completely absorbed by the Willpower Crystal in his mind.
After absorbing a large amount of energy, the bluish-white Qi Crystal grew from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a soybean, and its color gradually changed from pale yellow. These slight changes had already led to a rapid increase in Long Lin's strength. However, what delighted Long Lin even more was that the Spirit Crystal, after absorbing countless amounts of energy, had become restless, seemingly intending to cause trouble.
Long Lin immediately concentrated all his thoughts, refining all distracting ideas with the Spirit Crystal. In his mind, the outline of his own body gradually appeared, becoming clearer and clearer, eventually complete with eyebrows and hair. Except for being only a little over an inch tall, it was exactly the same as himself.
"Hmph!"
Long Lin suddenly exhaled, a powerful mental force reaching the crystal light, directly imbuing the image he had visualized into it. With a soft sound, like a jade bead falling to the ground, the crystal light, after reflecting Long Lin's image, quietly split in two, two identical crystal lights appearing in his ethereal mind.
"Hoo..."
Long Lin exhaled deeply, opening his eyes with a hint of joy on his face. Just now, he had successfully differentiated his will, finally reaching the realm of simultaneously possessing two wills.
He naturally knew what these two wills meant; that is, although he only had one body, he could have two different minds. Of course, his main mind still had the power to control the differentiated mind.
He could now possess his own clones, just like Bai Xiunü and Qingsong Daoren back then. With a thought, the true light of his will automatically flew out. Long Lin casually pointed, and a beam of clear light shot out, condensing into a faint, almost identical phantom image beside him. The crystal light of his will also automatically flew into it.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master!"
the illusory figure bowed to Long Lin in mid-air.
Long Lin smiled slightly; he finally had a clone of himself! Although this clone was merely a phantom formed from his true energy, aside from the real crystal of intent, it could only exist for a few minutes.
"Alright..."
Long Lin acknowledged his clone's bow, casually pointing and absorbing it back into his body.
Just then, a deafening clap of thunder boomed in the distance, followed by a muffled groan from an old man.
Long Lin then remembered that not far from him, there was a bronze figure struggling against the heavenly tribulation.
It was now surrounded by rubble, and even the crevice was on the verge of collapsing. Long Lin leaped lightly, gliding through the rubble and landing before a cliff face. Looking at the bronze figure again, he couldn't help but gasp.
At this moment, the bronze figure had grown to over a meter tall, and the sky was filled with dark clouds, flashing purple light, making it exceptionally terrifying, clearly indicating that it had reached the final stage of the Heavenly Tribulation.
"The ninth level! I'll have to experience the power of this final thunderous blade!"
The aged voice rang out again, its tone as loud as before, but Long Lin could hear a distinct hint of weariness in it.
*Crack!*
A soft sound rang out from the dark clouds in the sky. Although the sound was not loud, it seemed to possess boundless penetrating power, reverberating directly to his heart. Upon hearing the thunder, Long Lin immediately felt his internal organs churning. Fortunately, his strength had just increased, and his physique was strong, so he was not injured.
"The Demon-Suppressing Thunder is indeed extraordinary!"
the bronze figure's aged voice said again, clearly even weaker, as if it had suffered some internal injuries.
After that sound, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be compressed by a tremendous force pressing in from all directions, becoming increasingly dense, gradually forming what looked like a black stone in mid-air.
A sliver of blue light gradually emerged from the black stone, growing larger and brighter until, within a few breaths, it solidified into a giant blue-bladed sword, while the original black clouds merely formed the hilt of this sword.
The bronze figure, no longer standing, suddenly sat cross-legged on the ground, its entire body gradually radiating a layer of dazzling multicolored light, which densely formed a multicolored light shield above its head.
With the formation of the giant blue-bladed sword, the air was instantly filled with an imposing aura. That inexplicable power made it difficult to breathe.
The bronze figure's aged voice rang out, already somewhat hoarse: "Come...the final battle!" As
the words fell, a deafening roar resounded, and the enormous blue light blade slashed down from the sky.
Although the distance was great, when the giant blade struck, Long Lin actually felt a powerful force coming from above his head; he had no choice but to gather his inner energy and meet it head-on.
