“Haha, for a guy like you, you’re definitely doing fine. How could we ever compare to you?” Mo Bai laughed heartily.
“Lin Yun, come on, let’s chat in my room.” After speaking, Mo Bai pulled Lin Yun towards his residence.
Once inside the room.
“By the way, Brother Mo Bai, I’ve been gone for nearly two hundred years. How’s your cultivation going?” Lin Yun asked with a smile.
“With the Moonlight Crystals I obtained by becoming a Death Soldier, I reached the Mysterious Saint Realm long ago. However, there’s still some distance to the Heavenly Saint Realm!” Mo Bai said.
Back then, Mo Bai had paid the price of becoming a Death Soldier to acquire a fair amount of Moonlight Crystals. But now, having used them up, obtaining a large number of Moonlight Crystals again wasn’t so easy.
“That’s simple. I can support you with a batch of Moonlight Crystals to help you reach the Heavenly Saint Realm.”
After Lin Yun finished speaking, he waved his hand and revealed five million Moonlight Crystals.
Lin Yun had calculated that this amount of Moonlight Crystals should be enough for Mo Bai to reach the Heavenly Saint Realm without issue. Any further breakthroughs beyond that would depend on Mo Bai himself.
“Lin Yun, how do you have so many Moonlight Crystals?” Mo Bai was visibly shocked at the sight of so many Moonlight Crystals.
“I had some gains in the Border Mountains,” Lin Yun explained.
“Even so, I can’t accept them. We’ve come to this Ancestral Land, and earning Moonlight Crystals isn’t easy. How could I take so many of yours?” Mo Bai refused.
He had sold himself to earn ten million, and Lin Yun was offering five million just like that. It was truly generous.
“Brother Mo Bai, back in the Cultivation Continent, you contributed a lot of resources for the entire human race. What’s this small amount of resources Iām giving now? In the Ancestral Land, it’s just the two of us from the Cultivation Continent. Naturally, we should help each other and progress together, don’t you think?” Lin Yun said with a smile.
Lin Yun genuinely thought this way. Besides, Mo Bai was a top-tier existence from the Cultivation Continent with exceptional talent. Lin Yun also hoped to help him grow faster in the Ancestral Land.
“But this amount is too large,” Mo Bai sighed.
“Brother Mo Bai, it’s settled then. I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave. Let’s stay in touch if anything comes up.”
After speaking, Lin Yun walked out, leaving the five million Moonlight Crystals with Mo Bai. He hurried away to prevent Mo Bai from refusing further.
“Lin Yun! Lin Yun!” Mo Bai called out a few times, but Lin Yun didn’t look back.
“This guy.” Seeing Lin Yun leave, Mo Bai shook his head with a smile.
…
After leaving Mo Bai’s residence, Lin Yun went to visit Old Black.
Old Black was naturally overjoyed to learn that Lin Yun had returned alive.
“Lin Yun, you managed to stay in the Border Mountains for so long and come back alive. That’s really impressive!” Old Black exclaimed with a laugh.
Back when Lin Yun had decided to go to the Border Mountains, Old Black had tried to dissuade him many times, as the Border Mountains were far too dangerous.
The more Old Black learned about Lin Yun, the more he felt that Lin Yun’s potential was limitless!
After meeting Old Black, Lin Yun returned to his own camp.
With more than a decade left until the Skyfire Trial began, Lin Yun planned to go into seclusion to focus on improving himself!
When Lin Yun arrived at his camp, he found Mu Ji waiting there.
Mu Ji was fairly attractive, and since Lin Yun’s camp was full of men, her presence naturally drew the attention of many.
“Lin Yun!”
Upon seeing Lin Yun, her face lit up with a smile, and she quickly approached him.
“Lin Yun, I’m so thrilled you came back alive! You’re amazing, staying in the Border Mountains for so long and returning unscathed.” Mu Ji beamed with joy.
“Why are you here?” Lin Yun asked, rolling his eyes helplessly.
“What, are you that reluctant to see me?” Mu Ji pouted, acting coy.
“Not exactly. After all, we’ve fought side by side as comrades. But your information network is impressive. I only just got back, and here you are,” Lin Yun said.
“That just shows how much the Ren family cares about you!” Mu Ji sidled up to Lin Yun, her tone playful and her voice soft, almost melting.
Lin Yun understood what Mu Ji meant. It was nothing more than admiration, perhaps even infatuation.
But Lin Yun genuinely wasn’t interested in her. He knew a bit about her character, and frankly, she was somewhat fickle.
“Mu Ji, I’ve said before, we’re just teammates. There can’t be anything more between us,” Lin Yun said bluntly.
“Being teammates, friends, that’s enough. I didn’t say I wanted anything more, right?” Mu Ji winked at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun let out a long sigh. Sometimes, being too charming as a man wasn’t exactly a good thing.
Lin Yun had come to the Ancestral Land with no intention of getting entangled in romantic affairs.
Mu Ji’s behaviour drew envious glances and some murmurs from the men passing by.
“Mu Ji, I need to cultivate. You know I’ve signed up for the Skyfire Trial, and I need to focus on improving my strength,” Lin Yun said.
“Of course, I know. I won’t disturb you then. Train hard, and I’m looking forward to your performance. When the Skyfire Trial starts, I’ll be cheering for you!” Mu Ji said sweetly.
“Alright, I’m off.”
Lin Yun quickly headed into the camp.
“Lin Yun, go for it!” Mu Ji’s voice called out from behind.
“Isn’t that Captain Lin Yun? He seems to have something ambiguous going on with Mu Ji. Look at how forward she is. Captain Lin Yun is quite the lucky guy.”
“Yeah, Captain Lin Yun is blessed. Getting to be with Mu Ji must be quite the treat.”
…
Some murmurs arose around them.
…
After entering the camp, Lin Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He knew that if Mu Ji kept pursuing him like this, it could become troublesome.
“Never mind, I’ll focus on cultivation first.”
Lin Yun shook his head, putting these matters aside, and returned to his room.
With only a decade or so until the Skyfire Trial, reaching the Heaven-Passing Realm in such a short time was unrealistic.
Lin Yun set a goal to strive for the Heaven-Passing Realm in about a century.
For the next few years, he would focus on improving other aspects.
Since advancing from the Dominion Realm to the Saint Realm, Lin Yun had spent most of his energy on improving his realm, neglecting other areas like swordsmanship and divine sense.
Although the Soul Protection Pendant in the Ancestral Land diminished the role of divine sense, Lin Yun wouldn’t abandon improving it.
Even if divine sense could only be used to enhance attacks, Lin Yun found it worthwhile.
Then, Lin Yun brought out the One Thought Clear Mind Tower, entered it, and began cultivating.
