Days quietly passed within Holy Soul Village.
On the surface—
Nothing seemed different.
Villagers still farmed daily.
Children still played in dirt roads.
Smoke still rose from simple wooden homes each morning.
Yet privately—
A strange rumor had begun spreading throughout the village.
And at the center of it…
Was Lin Yuan.
“Did you hear?”
“Hear what?”
“Little Yuan bought whale glue again…”
“…Again?!”
Several village women whispered together beside the well.
One middle-aged man nearby nearly choked on water.
“That child is only six!”
Another villager sighed emotionally.
“Children nowadays mature too early…”
Nearby—
Old Jack’s face had already turned dark enough to rival the bottom of a pot.
“What nonsense are all of you saying?!”
“Our Little Yuan is absolutely not that kind of child!”
The villagers immediately nodded awkwardly.
“Yes yes…”
“Of course…”
Yet their expressions clearly said:
We understand.
Old Jack nearly coughed blood from anger.
Meanwhile—
The person responsible for all this calmly walked past the crowd while carrying another package of refined whale glue.
Lin Yuan lazily glanced toward the whispering villagers.
Then calmly sighed.
“Fools fear what they cannot understand.”
The surrounding villagers: “….”
One old man couldn’t help asking carefully:
“Little Yuan…”
“Do you… know what whale glue is?”
Lin Yuan nodded seriously.
“Of course.”
Villagers: “…”
The atmosphere instantly became even stranger.
Lin Yuan himself remained completely calm.
What?
Couldn’t a serious cultivator buy medicinal resources now?
Ignorant masses.
Soon—
He calmly left the village under countless complicated gazes.
Behind him—
Old Jack covered his face painfully.
This child truly made his old heart suffer daily.
Late at night.
Moonlight covered the endless Blue Silver Grass fields outside the village.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged silently amidst the swaying grass.
Several refined whale glue blocks rested nearby.
Over the past month—
He had continuously tempered his body using Azure Emperor Body Art combined with whale glue refinement.
His:
muscles bones meridians internal organs had all strengthened dramatically.
Even his recovery speed became abnormal.
Most importantly—
His spirit power foundation had become incredibly stable.
Lin Yuan slowly swallowed another piece of whale glue.
Boom.
Violent heat instantly erupted throughout his body.
Yet compared to before—
His current physique could already endure it much more smoothly.
Azure Emperor Body Art circulated rapidly.
The surrounding Blue Silver Grass immediately began swaying intensely.
Tiny blue particles continuously gathered toward Lin Yuan.
Plant vitality merged with medicinal essence.
Then repeatedly tempered his body.
Faint blue-golden patterns gradually surfaced beneath his skin.
His aura became increasingly vigorous.
At the same time—
Several hundred meters away.
A black-haired child silently stood atop a tree branch.
Tang San.
His expression looked somewhat strange.
Recently—
He had repeatedly noticed Lin Yuan secretly leaving the village nightly.
Combined with the increasingly outrageous whale glue rumors…
Tang San finally became curious enough to investigate personally.
Originally—
He suspected Lin Yuan possessed:
hidden teacher mysterious cultivation technique secret background Yet what he witnessed now still exceeded expectations.
Tang San narrowed his eyes carefully.
Lin Yuan was cultivating.
That much was obvious.
But the cultivation method felt extremely strange.
The surrounding Blue Silver Grass was actually resonating with him.
As though countless strands of grass were voluntarily offering vitality toward Lin Yuan’s body.
Most shocking of all—
Tang San could vaguely sense an unusual pressure from Lin Yuan’s martial soul.
Although faint—
It carried an instinctive suppression feeling.
Tang San’s pupils contracted slightly.
As someone possessing Blue Silver Grass himself—
His perception toward this feeling became especially clear.
It was almost like: ordinary grass encountering its emperor.
Tang San silently observed the faint blue-golden grass swaying within Lin Yuan’s palm.
Thoughtful light gradually flickered within his eyes.
“His Blue Silver Grass…”
“It’s different from mine.”
Meanwhile—
A powerful heat wave escaped from his body.
His skin faintly emitted blue-golden glow beneath moonlight.
Then—
The system interface quietly appeared before him.
Current Physique Reevaluation
Original Absorption Recommendation: 789-Year Spirit Ring Current Estimated Limit: 1028 Years Lin Yuan’s lips gradually curved upward.
Success.
After one month of continuous body tempering—
His absorption limit had finally surpassed one thousand years.
This meant: his original plan was now possible.
A thousand-year first spirit ring.
A feat that should have been impossible within Douluo theory.
Yet Lin Yuan intended to shatter that theory completely.
Not through reckless gambling.
But through preparation.
System support.
Body cultivation.
Blue Silver Emperor vitality.
Whale glue refinement.
All combined together.
Lin Yuan slowly clenched his fist.
He could already feel it—
His body had transformed far beyond ordinary spirit masters of the same age.
At that moment—
A faint branch cracking sound suddenly echoed nearby.
Lin Yuan’s eyes instantly narrowed.
“Who’s there?”
Several moments later—
Tang San quietly stepped out from the shadows.
The atmosphere instantly became somewhat awkward.
Lin Yuan stared at him silently.
Tang San stared back silently.
Finally—
Tang San’s gaze slowly shifted toward the whale glue nearby.
Then toward Lin Yuan.
“…You really are using it for cultivation?”
Lin Yuan calmly replied:
“What else did you think?”
Tang San hesitated briefly.
“…Nothing.”
Lin Yuan snorted.
“Your expression says otherwise.”
Tang San coughed awkwardly.
Honestly—
Before tonight, even he had misunderstood slightly.
Yet after witnessing everything personally—
Tang San finally realized something important.
Lin Yuan’s laziness…
May have only been surface appearance.
This fellow—
Was hiding far more secrets than anyone imagined.
To be continued ….
