Carefully treading the path leading to the middle of the Starry Night Forest, Linfen's eyes shone with joy.
"Phew, finally free from Uncle Gai." Linfen smiled and nodded his head, saying he was happy to cultivate alone, but his heart couldn't help recalling the time he spent with Gaiyu. Seven years, he had been with him for seven years, and now, he suddenly left him alone, Linfen felt extremely sad. What happens to him now? Would he have to stay here alone? Where would he go?
To clear his young mind, he decided to go to the central part of the Starry Night Forest, which he had been longing for for seven years.
When Gaiyu was around, he would never have allowed Linfen to enter the central part, not even half a step. He only said one thing: "If your cultivation is not up to par, going in now will only lead to your death!"
Now, since Gaiyu didn't mention that he couldn't enter the central region when he left, it meant he had tacitly approved of his actions. Thinking of this, Linfen couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Stepping onto the path covered with withered yellow leaves, Linfen held a small wooden sword in his right hand, angrily picking up the leaves from the ground, muttering curses and complaining to the surrounding trees. "Uncle Gai, why couldn't I have a real sword, instead of this piece of wood?. I've studying sword intent for eternity. Really, that hateful Uncle Gai!"
Despite having entered the central part of the Starry Night Forest, Linfen showed no sense of security whatsoever, acting as casually as he did on the outskirts. With a blade of grass clenched in his mouth, he strolled along the path, sometimes even humming a little tune. "When the wind stirs the oars, the little boat pushes through the waves..."
Just then, Linfen suddenly stopped, his nose twitched, and a look of joy appeared on his face. It was a strange, sweet fragrance wafting from not far away. Based on his years of experience living in the mountains, he knew exactly what this fragrance was. He quickly ran towards the source of the scent.
However, what he didn't notice was that in that dark corner, a pair of crimson eyes were fixed on him, and glistening saliva dripped from a hideous mouth. The large, bell-shaped eyes faintly revealed a bloodthirsty desire, and a robust body lurking in the shadows, watching the direction Linfen had walked, cautiously following behind.
After navigating several bends and twists and turns, he finally arrived at the land of fragrance origin. Here stood a magnificent waterfall, its waves surging and roaring.
At the center of the waterfall, a strange little tree grew out of the cracks in the rocks, with slightly yellow leaves and a bright green stem. Faintly, white mist could be seen swirling around it.
The moment Linfen saw the small tree, his gaze was drawn to it, and he swallowed hard, his throat tightening in anticipation. A few drops of saliva trickled from the corner of his mouth. As if bewitched, he walked step by step towards the small tree.
It's no wonder Linfen showed such an expression, because he knew very well that the fruit growing on it was clearly recorded in Gaiyu's book: "Bodhi Heart Flowing Fruit, slightly yellow, in the shape of a small ball, with a faint white mist surrounding it. When ripe, it emitted a fragrant aroma and had the effect of tempering the body and cleansing the marrow."
This item was practically tailor-made for Linfen right now. He had already reached the peak of the Bitter Mortal Realm, but due to his physique, he cannot cultivate mental power. While this item might not fundamentally solve his problem, there is a certain chance it will cause a change.
He cautiously approached the Bodhi Heart Flowing Fruit, the waterfall water soaking his clothes, but he didn't care at all. Closer and closer, now he could clearly hear Linfen's heartbeat.
With a swift move, Linfen successfully picked the fruit. Looking at the dark yellow fruit with streaks of red, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. His vigilance dropped to its lowest point, but just then...
... A huge black shadow appeared from the surrounding bushes and pounced on him to the ground. Before he could even react, he was already under its control, and the huge fangs were aiming at his face.
Linfen's expression changed drastically, cold sweat soaking his back. "Crimson Gold Tiger, a magical beast! Second Meridian Opening Realm!"
If a Crimson Gold Tiger, a magical beast at the Meridian Opening Realm, appeared in the outer forest, it would definitely be a king-like existence. Just thinking about its powerful attack, Linfen's heart sank to its lowest point.
The Crimson Tiger's eyes were a deep crimson, and its extremely ferocious nature deterred almost all wild beasts. Even Linfen, with his pure heart and spiritual insight, could not communicate with it. This magical beast had only hunting in its eyes; it was the embodiment of savagery and slaughter.
Linfen's face was deathly pale. So close, he could clearly feel the breath emanating from its nostrils, and the stench emanating from its mouth made him want to vomit. He gradually increased his strength, desperately dodging the attacks of the crimson-gold tiger's fangs and the tearing of its claws.
Soon, his robe turned into strips of cloth, and gruesome wounds began to appear on his body, the bright red bloodstains causing him excruciating pain. Most terrifyingly, he discovered that the saliva of the Crimson Tiger before him seemed to contain a deadly poison; the two drops that fell onto his body and immediately seeped through his skin, were almost making Linfen scream in pain.
His injuries were getting worse, and he could only passively dodge the Crimson Gold Tiger's attacks, still completely unable to break free from its claws. Every time he seemed to be getting up, the tiger would flip him over and pin him to the ground again. He had never felt so frustrated.
Feeling his body growing weaker and weaker, he gradually became sluggish. Just then, realizing that he was still holding something in his hand, Linfen bit his lip hard, his eyes hardening as he made a decision in his mind. "So be it!"
Then he shoved the thing in his hand into his mouth, biting down hard on the fruit with his silver teeth. As he bit down, the fruit gradually oozed a rich, pale yellow juice that lingered on the corners of his mouth, but the aroma only made the Crimson Tiger more ferocious. Low growls continuously escaped its mouth, and the bloodlust and thirst in its eyes drove it increasingly frenzied, its attacks becoming noticeably more frequent.
Linfen dodged awkwardly, his body growing weaker and weaker. A bitter smile lingered on his lips as he silently berated himself for being so careless. He had no time to think, because the Crimson Tiger's fangs were already closer to his face. He twisted his body suddenly, tensed his legs with all his might, and slammed towards the Crimson Tiger.
Concentrating all his energy, at that moment, stimulated by the heat emanating from the Bodhi Heart Fluid Fruit within his body, a strange feeling surged into his heart, and the power of his fist suddenly increased several times.
The Crimson Tiger cried out in pain and retreated several steps. It was these few steps that finally allowed Linfen to break free of its restraints and regain his mobility. However, he was not in good condition at this time. His clothes hung on his body like strips of cloth, and bright red blood flowed from the conspicuous wounds. Waves of weakness came one after another.
The worst part was that the effects of the Bodhi Heart Fluid Fruit that he had just taken without considering the consequences were taking hold. Streams of heat stimulated every part of his body. Although he couldn't feel the specific location, he could understand where the waves of stinging pain in his body were coming from.
Linfen gritted his teeth and used his agility to dodge the Crimson Tiger's repeated attacks. However, this was not a long-term solution. So when he saw the Crimson Tiger suddenly pounce to the left, his eyes lit up. Despite his physical discomfort, he jumped directly on the Crimson Tiger's back.
This action enraged the Crimson Tiger, which repeatedly turned its head to bite the damned human who dared to offend it so blatantly. However, no matter how it howled or rolled, it could not shake off Linfen. Enraged, the Crimson Tiger continued to roll and thrash, its ferocious jaws lunging towards Linfen on its back. Seeing that this was futile, it suddenly began to run.
The dense branches of the surrounding trees lashed at Linfen, making his body weaker and weaker. The throbbing pain caused Linfen's whole body to tremble uncontrollably. Purple, blue, and red wounds were mixed together, his face grew paler and paler, and his eyes became increasingly blurry.
The deeper into the valley, he vaguely felt his head hit something hard, followed by the sound of falling to the ground. His consciousness grew increasingly blurred, a warm current coursing through his body. At that moment, in this extremely weak state, he suddenly saw a patch of bright red blood.
Blood vessels flowed continuously, meridians crisscrossed, but the largest acupoints above his line of sight were completely blocked, as solid as a rock. But all of this didn't matter much to him as he was simply too exhausted. His vision blurred, his body slumped, and he suddenly fainted.
In the hazy distance, he seemed to hear noisy footsteps, the clanging of carriages, and even angry shouts. His mind was foggy. He didn't know how much time had passed, but he vaguely felt the strips of cloth being removed, and his wounds being cleaned. A warm feeling instantly welled up in his heart.

43. The Sea Trial
A dark figure slowly appeared at the doorway. It was a tall, slender young man wearing a red coat. His cold eyes calmly surveyed the surrounding crowd, his face expressionless."Come with me! The hunter assessment is now officially starting. The first thing you need to do is keep up with me, otherwise, there's no point in talking." The three or four hundred people in the room couldn't help but feel a little disdainful and slightly disappointed with the hunter assessment.Even Linfen frowned slightly upon hearing this, but he didn't show it. Since the old alchemist had asked him to participate in this assessment, he must have his own reasons. Linfen pursed his lips and remained silent.Seemingly sensing the commotion in the crowd, the tall, slender young man said calmly, "If anyone wants to leave now, we absolutely will not stop them. However, there may be danger to their lives later on, so we hereby make it clear that we will not be responsible for any danger to their lives." The ma
42. The Stone Hunting City
Stone Hunting City was a large city in the eastern part of the Star Origin Continent. It was considered one of the most important cities in the area. The streets are bustling with people, and the cries of vendors and the conversations of pedestrians create a lively atmosphere. Since the disappearance of the Time-Space lineage, Stone Hunter City had been controlled by so-called hunters. Now, this place could be described as a hunter's paradise. Of course, these hunters were not the same as ordinary hunters. As the hub of Hunter City, this place was definitely not simple. Here, the Hunter Guild, as the nominal master of hunters, had absolute power in this city. Once those laws were promulgated, no one had ever dared to confront them directly. After all, confronting a behemoth like the Hunter Guild would come at a price. "So this is Stone Hunter City? Truly extraordinary!" Linfen said calmly, his eyes filled with undisguised amazement. Compared to the branch cities, this was like co

"Embrace the primordial unity, guard your mind, and do not be disturbed by external things. Imagine yourself within your body, feeling those spiritual forces; you are a part of them." The old alchemist placed his hands on Linfen's back, drawing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to gather on Linfen's body.A burning sensation kept emanating from The old alchemist's hands, and Linfen felt as if his whole body was on fire. He felt like a piece of metal undergoing unparalleled forging.His intuition told him that The old alchemist was doing something very dangerous, but now no one could stop him, and Linfen could only passively endure it all.Beads of sweat dripped from The old alchemist's forehead, his hands trembling slightly as countless intricate miniature arrays coalesced in his palms and were channeled into Linfen's body."Golden Refiner, as a unique cultivation technique, cannot be refined into a human body, otherwise one will suffer unparalleled and severe calamities.

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
