Bang!
Lin Yu’s foot stomped hard on Lin Qingdi’s face. Whether it was intentional or not, the force was tremendous.
It sent Lin Qingdi’s nosebleed flying into the air!
He staggered and fell back into the Demon-Slaying Array, roaring furiously, “Lin! Yu! I’ll kill you!”
Lin Yu gave an embarrassed smile. “Sorry, I was in a rush to save you. I didn’t notice your face was there.”
He flipped his hand and put away the Five Elements Spirit Pearl.
With the pearl gone as the energy source, the Demon-Slaying Array that had been continuously suppressing Lin Qingdi also collapsed and vanished.
“You…” Lin Qingdi hadn’t even reacted yet when he let out a plop and fell right into the spiritual lake, completely soaked like a drowned dog.
Lin Yu ignored him and turned to Su Yao and Gu Ling’er with a bright smile. “It’s safe now. Come over.”
Su Yao leaped into the air gracefully, her movements like a perfect painting in motion.
“So beautiful, I—glug glug glug!” Lin Qingdi had just surfaced, and Su Yao’s elegance left him stunned.
But in that instant, Gu Ling’er stepped on his face, shoving him right back under the water.
She looked apologetic and said, “Oops! Sorry, I thought that was a rock!”
She giggled and flew over to the opposite bank.
Lin Qingdi burst from the water in fury. “You bastards are going too far!”
He stormed across and glared at Lin Yu, gritting his teeth. “Lin Yu, I found that Five Elements Spirit Pearl first! Give it back to me!”
The Five Elements Spirit Pearl was a treasure rarely seen even in a thousand years, filled with dense elemental energy. Absorbing it would definitely be a great fortune!
Lin Yu sneered inwardly but said righteously, “Brother Qingdi, that’s not fair. I risked my life to save you. Without me, how would you have made it out of the array alive?”
Lin Qingdi’s face twitched. “So your so-called rescue was stomping my face just to snatch the spirit pearl?!”
Even if Lin Yu hadn’t stepped in, Lin Qingdi was confident he could’ve taken the pearl himself—and even used it to control the array to turn it against Lin Yu!
But everything was ruined by Lin Yu.
Lin Yu snorted coldly. “What if I just don’t give it to you?”
Lin Qingdi shouted, “Then I’ll beat you until you do!”
He couldn’t stand Lin Yu anymore. Even if he had to burn his Dao Source and shatter his Immortal Bones today, he was going to kill this bastard! This chapter was copied from novelping . com without permission.
Smack!
But Su Yao’s slap shattered his fantasy. Her voice trembled with fury. “Lin Qingdi, you’ve disappointed me completely!”
She stared at him coldly. “Lin Yu clearly saved you, yet you have no gratitude and now you’re eyeing his treasure?”
Lin Qingdi tried to argue, “Yao’er, that bastard wasn’t saving me, he—”
But Su Yao cut him off. “Enough! I don’t want to hear your excuses. This is your last chance. If you continue harassing Lin Yu, don’t blame me for cutting ties!”
She turned and pulled Lin Yu and Gu Ling’er with her. “Let’s go!”
“Lin Yu! Lin Yu! Lin Yu! I swear I’ll kill you!”
Lin Qingdi stared at their backs, eyes filled with venom. He made his decision—he wouldn’t follow them anymore. Instead, he took another route.
He was going to find the sealed soul of that powerful being deep within the Secret Realm. He would borrow a knife to kill. Lin Yu would be erased forever!
Moments later, Gu Ling’er blinked in confusion. “Where did Lin Qingdi go? Why isn’t he following us?”
Su Yao shrugged indifferently. “Forget him. A man who only cares about jealousy, vanity, and benefits—let him go wherever he wants.”
In her eyes, Lin Qingdi must’ve been jealous of Lin Yu, so he left. Good. At least he wouldn’t bother them anymore.
Suddenly, Su Yao turned to Lin Yu curiously. “Lin Yu, what are you looking for?”
Since entering the Secret Realm, she’d noticed Lin Yu seemed distracted, scanning his surroundings constantly.
Lin Yu snapped out of his thoughts and smiled, shaking his head. “Nothing.”
But just then, a system prompt appeared!
[Ding! Host has come into contact with an ancient immortal herb: Eight-Treasure Glazed Flower!]
Lin Yu froze and then looked down in shock. “No way—it’s really the Eight-Treasure Glazed Flower!”
Right beneath his foot was a slightly trampled, glowing immortal flower.
The Eight-Treasure Glazed Flower was one of the ten great immortal herbs of ancient times!
If refined and consumed, its spiritual energy would strengthen the body and increase blood vitality.
Lin Yu calmly put it away, thinking, According to the original plot, Su Yao would find this flower in the Secret Realm three months later and use it to achieve mastery in her technique.
Could this be that same Secret Realm from the novel?
He wasn’t certain, since the original novel didn’t detail the Secret Realm much. But after thinking, Lin Yu made a decision.
He suddenly said, “Su Yao, I have a gift for you.”
The next moment, her eyes widened in disbelief and joy. “This is the Eight-Treasure Glazed Flower?!”
Her cultivation method recorded all herbs that enhanced physical strength and blood vitality. And among them, this flower was the rarest and most valuable.
Her breathing quickened. She stared at Lin Yu, stunned. “You… you’re really giving this to me?”
Didn’t he know how priceless this herb was? Of course he did—he wouldn’t give it so casually if he didn’t.
Lin Yu smiled. “We’ve known each other for a while, and I’ve never given you flowers. Let this one make up for it.”
Su Yao accepted the flower, her eyes sparkling. So he was distracted earlier because he was thinking about how to give this to me?
In that moment, her feelings for Lin Yu grew deeper and more complex.

[System triggers critical return! Reward: Nine-Colored Exquisite Bone!]

[Would the Host like to refine it now?]
Lin Yu was shocked. “The Nine-Colored Exquisite Bone? One of the Eight Great Immortal Bones from the novel?”
In the story, this bone was a divine relic of the Vermilion Bird Clan and paired with the Ninefold Phoenix Ascension Technique.
Later, Gu Ling’er obtained it and continuously underwent nirvanic rebirth, allowing her to fight Su Yao to a standstill for 3,000 rounds!
Why would I refine this?
Though powerful, Lin Yu had no intention of cultivating a woman’s technique. Without hesitation, he handed it over. “Gu Ling’er, this is for you.”
She had been pouting a moment ago, but the instant she saw the Nine-Colored Exquisite Bone, her face lit up with overwhelming joy. “This is the Nine-Colored Exquisite Bone?!”
