Beauty and the Bodyguard

"As the name suggests, it is a way of cultivation that the heavens have given you. Any other way of cultivation is a wrong path. Either the progress is too slow, or the cultivation will go astray. The life-bound cultivation is the fate that all spirit beasts dream of. Not even one in ten million spirit beasts can really realize it. This is something that they can\'t even ask for." The ghastly thing sighed with emotion.

"Why? According to senior\'s words, life source cultivation should be the most suitable cultivation method for oneself. As long as a spirit beast has the slightest bit of comprehension, finding the most suitable cultivation method for themselves shouldn\'t be that difficult, right?" Lin Yi couldn\'t help but ask.

"That\'s right, but we spirit beasts are different from you human cultivators. Even if you human cultivators have different physiques and talents, you are still of the same race and can learn from each other. However, there are thousands of spirit beast races, especially many high-level spirit beasts, which are passed down from one bloodline. How can there be so many models to learn from?" The ghostly thing paused for a moment and continued."Furthermore, all high-level spiritual beasts have unique racial talents. Even if they find their Natal cultivation method, they must have a corresponding unique cultivation environment. Unless they are extremely lucky, it is not easy to find such a perfect cultivation place."

"That\'s true ..." Lin Yi nodded. If he was a spirit beast, he wouldn\'t have been forced to run into the five poisons swamp. Even if he knew that he had five elements spiritual roots, he wouldn\'t have thought that there would be such a paradise under the swamp, not to mention his Natal cultivation.

The sudden appearance of the old sect was supposed to be a disaster for Lin Yi, but it seemed like it was a blessing instead of a disaster.

In fact, Lin Yi had been feeling that the endless pure Qi in the Jade space was decreasing.

Lin Yi didn\'t know why, maybe it was his own illusion, or maybe it was because his strength kept increasing, but the Qi supply in the Jade space wasn\'t enough for him anymore. One thing was clear, the Jade space\'s support for his training wasn\'t as obvious as before, at least his training speed had dropped a bit.

However, even if Lin Yi noticed this, it was useless. The Jade space\'s support effects were weaker compared to before, but it was completely different from the outside world. So Lin Yi could only continue to rely on the Jade space\'s Qi to cultivate as usual.

But now, by chance, he found a place with even denser Qi than the Jade space, and he could use the killing Qi of the five elements to practice his Natal cultivation at any time. This was a blessed place for Lin Yi-he\'d really have to "thank" the old sect of West Mountain when he went out in the future.

As the two were talking, the Jade rang again. Not far away, another five-element killing intent surged out. It was the same as before, Lin Yi was still hit by the other waves, and he was still in pain. However, Lin Yi had endured it just now, and now that he knew the benefits, he couldn\'t give up halfway.

The only thing Lin Yi had to do now was to grit his teeth and endure the five elements killing Qi\'s waves. Every time he was tempered, the strength of his Qi would increase by a level, and even his body\'s strength would undergo a tremendous change.

This kind of arduous tempering was even more effective than those elixirs. After taking the elixirs, one\'s strength would be like a castle in the air. It would take at least a period of time to stabilize their strength. Otherwise, it was very easy to have a weak Foundation and lead to the tragic consequences of Qi deviation. However, this kind of tempering was different. Every bit of growth was real strength. Not only would the foundation not weaken, but it would also become stronger.

One time, two times, three times ...

What Lin Yi did next was to repeat it again and again. Every challenge was extremely difficult, but he benefited from it. Of course, this was proportional to the risk. In just two hours, Lin Yi was coaxed off the pillar three times.

It was not because his willpower had weakened, but because he was too close to the killing Qi of the five elements. With his current strength, he could at most withstand the aftermath, but he was still far from being able to withstand the tempering of the killing Qi of the five elements.

Fortunately, Lin Yi\'s five-element spiritual roots made him much more resistant to the killing intent than normal people. Otherwise, he would\'ve died if he just brushed past the killing intent three times.

Three days, Lin Yi had been holding on for three whole days. This amount of time was nothing to any practitioner, but to Lin Yi, who had been tortured by the killing intent, this was probably the longest three days he had ever experienced. It was a test of physical and mental perseverance.

But at the same time, the benefits Lin Yi received were also unparalleled. When he came in, he was only at the peak of the mid-stage of the Golden core, but after these three days of training, Lin Yi had touched the wall of the late-stage of the Golden core, only a stone\'s throw away from the next level.

This result made Lin Yi very happy. With the West Mountain old sect waiting for him outside, every bit of strength meant a bit more capital to save his life. Every breakthrough could mean the difference between life and death.

But while he\'d successfully touched the wall of the late-stage golden core, it was still a bit difficult to break through in a short period of time. After all, Lin Yi had just reached the peak of the mid-stage not too long ago, and while he was the strongest golden core Master who\'d broken through perfectly, the late-stage was a threshold that couldn\'t be broken through just like drinking water-he still needed a suitable opportunity.

This opportunity could be the Golden pill, or any other special circumstances-with Lin Yi\'s strength, breaking through was a matter of course.

If he really wanted to break through, Lin Yi still had the Wandu golden core fruit. As long as he formed a golden core, he would be in the late-stage of the Golden core stage!
