Cultivation Begins with Skill Points-Chapter 188: Bold

Yu Jinglei asked joyfully, "Elder Yin, Elder Lian Shan, have the elixirs been successfully made?"

Yin Daoyan replied excitedly, "Sect Master, everything went smoothly. Both Heavenly Essence Fruits have been fully converted into elixirs."

"Good."

Yu Jinglei shouted with appreciation, laughing aloud, "Elder Yin, Elder Lian Shan, you have worked hard."

Elder Lian Shan flipped his wrist, and immediately a jade box containing Breakthrough Pills appeared.

The scarlet elixir inside the jade box instantly captured everyone’s attention, their gazes firmly fixed on it, reluctant to look away.

"Why is there only one? Wasn’t it said that both Heavenly Essence Fruits were made into elixirs?"

Elder Qi Qingfeng suddenly asked.

Yu Jinglei also furrowed his eyebrows slightly, glancing at Yin Daoyan and Elder Lian Shan.

At this moment, Zhong Lin stepped out of the alchemy room, and loudly declared, "The other one is with me. Sect Master, have you forgotten? One Breakthrough Pill is mine."

Elder Qi Qingfeng hurriedly said, "The Deputy Sect Master has already broken through to Grandmaster; the Breakthrough Pill is useless to you. Why still..."

"How dare you."

Zhong Lin snorted coldly, his innate True Qi stirred the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi into turbulence. Instantly, everyone felt as if a huge mountain pressed against their chest, and both Qi-blood and inner breath halted their circulation at that moment, a heavy feeling shrouded their hearts.

Elder Qi Qingfeng’s face turned pale, and a mouthful of fresh blood spewed from his mouth as he fell heavily to his knees, his bones emitting cracking noises as if they might break at any moment.

Zhong Lin looked coldly at the kneeling Qi Qingfeng, then turned his gaze to Yu Jinglei.

Yu Jinglei felt a tinge of reluctance in his heart, sighed deeply, and said, "No more words from you all. The Heavenly Essence Fruit was originally brought by Deputy Sect Master Zhong, and I have promised that if two elixirs were made, one would belong to Deputy Sect Master Zhong."

Elder Lu Ming also stepped forward quickly, bowed deeply, and pleaded, "Deputy Sect Master, forgive us; Elder Qi was momentarily confused. I hope Deputy Sect Master will overlook this and spare him this once!"

Only then did Zhong Lin retract his oppressive presence, saying coldly, "Do not entertain sneaky ideas. You can only take what I give. If I do not give it, do not covet it."

Qi Qingfeng endured the pain on his body, lowered his head, and said tremblingly, "Disciple understands, and I hope Deputy Sect Master will forgive me."

This time, Elder Men Qing’an was quite honest and dared not cause any trouble from start to finish.

"Stand up."

Zhong Lin snorted coldly, and Qi Qingfeng slowly got up from the ground.

Yu Jinglei stood aside without interfering with Zhong Lin’s reprimand. After all, Zhong Lin was now the Deputy Sect Master of the Sword Cauldron Sect, and Yu Jinglei would not risk displeasing him.

"Zhong Lin."

Yu Jinglei spoke solemnly, "This Breakthrough Pill is indeed rightfully yours, but I still have a suggestion."

"Please, Sect Master."

"You have already broken through the Innate; this Breakthrough Pill is now useless to you. You probably plan to give it to someone else, but no matter who it is, I hope this person is a disciple of the Sword Cauldron Sect, or at least will become one."

Yu Jinglei’s meaning was very clear: You can give the Breakthrough Pill to anyone, but as long as they are part of the Sword Cauldron Sect, it’s like keeping it within the family. Even if they’re an outsider, they could at worst be made to join the Sword Cauldron Sect.

The Breakthrough Pill is so precious; it represents hundreds of years of a sect’s legacy, knowing that a Grandmaster Level strongman can make a sect flourish for centuries.

Zhong Lin did not refuse, nodding and saying, "Disciple understands."

Yu Jinglei also let out a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face as he said, "The Sword Cauldron Sect, far from the worldly hustle, especially on the Main Peak, has a concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi more than ten times richer than the outside world, making it the best place for breakthroughs."

"Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master. If I truly find a suitable candidate, I will definitely bring them to the top of the Main Peak. I then ask the Sect Master to grant me some leeway." Zhong Lin said with a smile.

"It’s a deal, it’s a deal."

The rich essence of Heaven and Earth has immense benefits for breaking through the Innate Realm; in such an environment, the chances of success will greatly increase.

With just a few words, the two made a deal.

Yu Jinglei handed the jade box in his hand to Elder Lu Ming, saying in a deep voice, "Elder Lu, I entrust this Breakthrough Pill to you. I hope you can break through soon and not disappoint Elder Yin and Elder Lian Shan’s efforts."

Elder Lu Ming received the jade box with trembling hands, his face flushed with excitement. He took a deep breath to calm his inner turmoil and said tremulously, "Thank you, Sect Master."

The others also congratulated him and after a few casual conversations, they each left.

Zhong Lin and Yin Daoyan returned together to Spirit Medicine Peak.

The attendants had long prepared hot water and wine dishes. The two cleaned up separately and sat opposite each other in the pavilion, with Gu Yourong serving on one side.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhong Lin took out the jade box and placed it flat on the table. This Breakthrough Pill, enough to make countless people fight to the death, did not seem to matter much to him.

Even though he made it himself, Yin Daoyan still slightly excitedly extended his hands and gently opened the lid of the box.

A refreshing aroma first spread out, invigorating the spirits of all three. Then they saw the miraculous elixir flickering with a tinge of red.

"Is this the Breakthrough Pill? Such a strange feeling, as if it has life."

Gu Yourong looked at the elixir in the jade box, murmuring to herself.

Yin Daoyan reached out to cover the box, preventing the effectiveness from dissipating, and said lightly, "Zhong Lin, what do you plan to do with this Breakthrough Pill?"

"Naturally, I will give it to my Master." Zhong Lin replied without hesitation.

Yin Daoyan was not surprised by Zhong Lin’s thought but was deeply moved nonetheless, for this was a Breakthrough Pill. If it fell into the wrong hands, who knows what chaos would ensue.

"Isn’t this exactly what the Sect Master hopes for? Otherwise, he wouldn’t have so easily given me this Breakthrough Pill." freёnovelkiss.com

Yin Daoyan tapped Zhong Lin’s wrist with chopsticks, feigning displeasure, "Do not speak ill of the Sect Master behind his back."

Zhong Lin chuckled without saying more.

"As your Master, I have just entered the First Grade Realm, and achieving True Qi Perfection might take a few more years. Keep the Breakthrough Pill with you for now; it’s safer that way."

Zhong Lin thought for a moment, then nodded, "Very well."

"Now that you have also become a Grandmaster, what are your future plans?"

"I plan to wander the world, exploring its great landscapes, and by the way, I hope, Master, you can generously allow me, as I wish to take Senior Sister Yourong with me." Zhong Lin said.

Sitting beside him, Gu Yourong was first delighted, then her face turned red with embarrassment, as if the color of blood, she instinctively glanced at Yin Daoyan beside her, then quickly lowered her head, almost wanting to hide under the table, yet regrettably unable to see her toes.

Yin Daoyan laughed and scolded, "You brat, I knew you had ulterior motives, always thinking about Yourong."
