At the entrance of the vast martial arts hall, the crowd stared blankly at the receding figure, unable to comprehend that a mere cultivator in the Bitter Mortal Realm could possess such arrogance.
Of course, some dismissed Linfen's words with disdain, scoffing and turning away. No one really cared about this kid who was only at the Bitter Mortal Realm, this seemingly useless individual who would never be able to advance to the Meridian Opening Realm.
Even if they were wrong, they wouldn't feel the slightest remorse. That's how the world was—survival of the fittest, and those without strength always struggle at the bottom of society.
Lichen followed Linfen into his room, both of them looking rather pale. Linfen, in particular, looked like a pig's head; his delicate face was swollen beyond recognition. Even Lichen felt a pang of sympathy at the sight.
Looking at Lichen, who was busy running around at a loss, Linfen couldn't help but find it a little funny. Despite being so badly injured herself, she was still so considerate of others.
"Lichen, you're injured too, sit down and rest together!" Hearing this, Lichen trembled and came to Linfen's side, her eyes red-rimmed. She touched Linfen's swollen face with her small hand, which made Linfen grit his teeth!
"Brother Linfen, it's all Lichen's fault! It's all Lichen's fault that you got hurt! Lichen is so useless!" As she said this, Lichen's eyes reddened again. She knew exactly what kind of injury Linfen had suffered, especially after hearing those people's vicious words; some of them she couldn't even bear to listen to.
"This isn't your fault. It's all those bastards' fault. Lichen, you must remember, they are not playing games with you now. They are scum. You don’t need to be polite to them. Do they treat you as their sister? No! They are not your brothers.” He patted Lichen's head; her soft hair gave Linfen a comfortable feeling.
With a smile, Linfen's desire to become stronger grew even stronger. If he were truly powerful, he wouldn't have ended up in this predicament, being humiliated and trampled on. He had endured such humiliation. What else could he do? Being weaker meant he would forever remain inferior.
"Lichen, come here, let me apply the medicine for you!" After saying that, Linfen took out some medicine from the box next to him. This was the medicine that Layun had left for him when he was injured last time, in case his wound reopened. Now he was using it again!
"Brother Linfen, I should be the one applying the medicine for you. Your injury is more serious than mine!"
Linfen deliberately put on a stern face and said, "What, you're not listening to your big brother anymore? Come on, sit down and let me apply the medicine for you."
When Linfen glared at her, Lichen shrank back. "Alright then! But I'm going to apply medicine to Brother Luo later, hee hee!" She stuck out her little tongue, looking mischievous.
Smelling the scent emanating from Linfen, a warm current surged into her heart. From childhood to adulthood, even her sister Yuna had never treated her like this. Perhaps, only her deceased adoptive mother would have treated her this way. Thinking of this, and looking at Linfen who was carefully applying medicine to her, she seemed to have thought of something, her face flushed, and she dared not look at Linfen anymore.
Linfen was stunned. How come the little girl suddenly lowered her head while he was wiping her face? How was he supposed to apply the medicine like that? Linfen nudged Lichen, but she seemed to have been stimulated by something; her face grew increasingly red, yet she wouldn't lift her head. In the end, Linfen had no choice but to let her apply the medicine herself! This made Linfen roll her eyes at Lichen repeatedly, thinking to herself, "Girls are really troublesome!"
Just as Lichen and Linfen were applying medicine to themselves, chaos erupted outside.
The news that someone from the main Samsara family had arrived, and that the family head and young lady were receiving them, instantly caused an uproar within the Reincarnation branch family. The mere fact that someone from the main family had come was enough to warrant the branch family's attention; moreover, this person was no ordinary individual.
Anyone who could command such attention from the branch family was undoubtedly extraordinary, and the person causing such a stir could be summed up in just two words: Yana.
Those who have branched out are certainly familiar with this name. Ranked among the top ten in the ranking competition of the younger generation of the main family of reincarnation, at only 14 years old, he is already a powerful expert who had broken through the six major meridian gates and was said to be only one step away from breaking through the Ren and Du meridians.
Once the Ren and Du meridians were opened, one entered the Innate Realm, and cultivation was considered to be on the right track. Yana was a favorite of the current head of the Reincarnation Clan, and these points alone were enough to make him worthy of attention.
For a cultivator, the Ren and Du meridians were directly related to future cultivation. If they were broken, then one couldn't advance. Yana has reached the level of the six major meridians at this age. If he was not a prodigy, he could at least be called a genius.
The patriarch attached great importance to Yana's arrival, personally sending his daughter to receive her—his intentions were obvious. Moreover, it was said that Yana would stay for an extended period, apparently to instruct some members, hoping to improve the family's chances in the next ranking competition. Patriarch Lakun was naturally delighted with this.
In the main hall of the Reincarnation Branch, sitting in the main seat was a boy who looked to be about 14 years old, exuding arrogance.
On either side of him stood two solemn old men, their strength beyond question. The fact that the family head, Lakun, was seated below demonstrated the extraordinary status of the Reincarnation Family. Behind Lakun stood Layun. At this moment, Layun appeared exceptionally demure, standing there silently, exuding the air of a refined young lady from a prominent family.
"You all know why I'm here! I'll be here providing guidance for the next three months. Now, go and make the arrangements!" The young man glanced at Lakun indifferently. Yana didn't show much respect for this branch family head, speaking directly in a commanding tone.
Lakun's expression changed, but he suppressed his displeasure and nodded in agreement.
Layun, standing behind him, couldn't stand it. "Don't act like you're the most important person in the world. Now that you're here, please show some respect!"
As Layun finished speaking, Lakun's expression changed drastically. He had clearly not expected his daughter to dare to talk back to Yana like that. He glared at Layun fiercely, and was about to speak when he saw Yana turn his gaze to his daughter with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He was clearly not expecting that his daughter would dare to talk back to him. He waved his hand, stopping the old man who was about to attack, and walked towards Layun alone.
Lakun panicked. He was about to say something, but Yana glared at him, and the words he was about to say were swallowed back down! Yana walked to Layun's side, and looking at the beautiful Layun, a smile actually appeared on his lips. "To accomplish anything, you need the corresponding strength as a foundation. Your strength is not bad; you're a powerful expert in the Meridian Opening Realm who has opened her second meridian. That's certainly good for the branch family. However, this level of strength is far from enough! If you want me to adapt to local customs, it's simple: defeat me. Otherwise, don't ever spout such ridiculous nonsense in front of me."
"Fine, I'll fight you then! Do you think I'm afraid of you?!" Enraged, Layun raised her hand to attack him, a faint current of energy swirling around her hand, creating gusts of wind.
Yana's pupils widened as he watched Layun's attack, grinned, and reached out to grab it.
Her delicate white hand was instantly grabbed by the cloud demon, rendering her completely immobile! In a single, effortless move, Layun was defeated, causing Lakun, who was watching from the sidelines, to break out in a cold sweat! What kind of strength was this? It was an overwhelming and completely disproportionate display of power.
"I like your personality, but your strength is too weak!" Yana said before walking directly out of the hall. For an arrogant person like him, this was just a joke, a kind of hunting pleasure like seeing a toy! Leaving behind an indignant Layun.
"You damned guy, just you wait, one day I will surpass you, and then I will crush him under my feet!" Layun was completely devoid of any ladylike demeanor at this moment. The arrogant appearance of the boy in front of her had thoroughly enraged her, and she was also filled with resentment towards him.
Meanwhile, Lakun's eyes darted around, seemingly plotting something. In his mind, Yana's words kept echoing: "I like your personality, but your strength is too weak."
A meaningful smile played on Lakun's lips as a plan slowly took shape in his mind. However, he knew this plan needed to be implemented gradually. Looking at his charming and adorable daughter, his smile widened...

40. The Golden Alchemist [II]
"Alas, it seems you are just like that man. I see his former glory in you, except that he used a knife, while you use a sword, that's all!" The man in black couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of that man, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. He was a genius who achieved the Great Demon True Body, but in the end, his fate was unknown. "I can perfect this Seven Deadly Swords for you, only if you promise me that from now on you will not kill the innocent indiscriminately, and that you will handle all matters with an upright heart. The sword is the chameleon among weapons; if the heart is upright, then it is upright. If the heart is corrupted by demonic influence, it will be a disaster for the world," The man said very seriously. "I will keep your words in mind, senior. I promise." The man took the Seven Absolute Sword from Linfen and placed it horizontally on the table. He then began to form hand seals, and one after another, profound and mysterious incantations appeared from his
39. The Golden Alchemist [I]
Cultivating after pushing one's limits always yielded twice the results with half the effort. A slight smile appeared on Linfen's lips. As he continued to cultivate, because the second meridian, the breast meridian, was blocked, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth could not enter. Therefore, he continuously cleansed and expanded the meridians that were already open throughout his body. Linfen's first meridian was now more than twice the size of an average person's, which was why he possessed such astonishing mental power—all thanks to the continuous expansion of his meridians. Now, as soon as the blockage in his breast meridian was removed, he could immediately enter the second meridian's opening stage, the best proof of his diligent practice. Taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes, which flashed with a dazzling light. The intense cultivation after pushing himself to the limit left him feeling refreshed and invigorated. The surging spiritual energy also made him gasp in s
38. The Heavenly Cliff
Linfen simply laughed off the rumors. Having already survived the near-death experience in the Soul Refining Cave, such danger seemed trivial to him. He arrived at the bottom of the Heavenly Cliff, his eyes slightly narrowed. Yellow sand filled the sky, and the swirling sand and stones moved at high speed under the influence of the whirlwind. From a distance, the bottom of the cliff looked like a yellow circle enveloping the Heavenly Cliff, revealing only a sliver of clarity on the top, shrouded in mist, creating a feeling that was both hellish and heavenly. Linfen took a deep breath, unleashing the full power of his Entangling Technique. Silvery-white mental energy slowly enveloped his entire body as he walked step by step towards the Heavenly Cliff. A powerful impact slammed into Linfen's protective aura, creating ripples. Even with his mental energy pushed to its limit, some sand and gravel still managed to penetrate his defenses, striking his body and causing sharp pain. Linf
37. Until We Meet Again
The surroundings became completely empty, with dazzling swords stuck diagonally in the ground, endless sword intent surging and churning. In the name of the swords' lament, Linfen slowly stood up, bowed deeply to all the swords, and then looked at the Seven Absolutes in his hand with a dazed gaze, sighing inwardly. "Hey, Xiao Luo, why are you sighing like that? Shouldn't you be happy?" Xin asked, puzzled. "The sword is indeed wonderful, but it also brings me immense pressure. Only by constantly strengthening myself can I prevent the sword from becoming tarnished. But only I know my own situation: my eight meridians are blocked, and my energy gates are difficult to open. I don't know when I'll be able to enter the next realm!" Xin smiled calmly. "I thought you want to talk about something else. Oh, so this is what you mean. Whatever, as long as you stick to your own ideas, that's all that matters. We only live once, so as long as we're happy and have a clear conscience, why bother
36. Birth of the King of Swords
Amidst the overgrown weeds, Xin trudged through the mud scattered on his body, his eyes blazing as he surveyed the surroundings. He spat out a mouthful of weeds and cursed at the air around him."Damn it, which shameless scoundrel dared to launch a sneak attack? If I find out who it is, I will definitely not let him get away with it!" Falling from such a height, even with Xin's physique and cultivation, he couldn't help but feel a surge of blood and energy. Although he wasn't injured, he was still in a sorry state."Could it be that kid Linfen? No, impossible. The Seven Absolute Sword Formation isn't that easy to break. He should still be fighting inside right now. He can't possibly be out now. It's definitely not that kid." Xin said as he walked, and then headed towards the cave entrance. "But it's been so long, could something have happened? No, I still have to go in and check." As Linfen saw Xin Zheng walking towards him step by step, he lightly shook his right hand, and the sword
35. Reforging The Seven Absolute Sword
Linfen was pulled along by Xin, turning countless corners until he was almost out of breath. He stared intently at Xin, looking at his nonchalant demeanor, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. Up until now, it seemed that Xin and the others had forgotten to give him a bowl of water, and just kept leading him around aimlessly. However, Linfen was soon overwhelmed by the excitement of him about to obtain the real sword. The area was overgrown with weeds, resembling a forest where the tall grass seemed to bury them. Linfen and Xin arrived here, panting, and began to move forward step by step through the overgrown wilderness. "Hey Xin, how much longer until we get there! We've been walking for over an hour, when will this ever end!" "Almost there, almost there." Xin said nonchalantly, as if the distance wasn't far at all. Linfen couldn't help but grumble inwardly, but he didn't slow down at all, keeping close behind Xin. Pushing through the weeds, a small cave entrance ca
