Chapter 4: He Must Have Gained Some Fortuitous Encounter!:
"Whoosh..."
"7th stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and the Supreme Bone has also successfully revived."
"Just activated the Golden Finger, and the rewards have maxed out, changing my fate..."
Under the moonlight, Lin Ang sat quietly in his small house and slowly opened his eyes. A wisp of golden Qi circulated continuously in his eyes. Now, not only had his cultivation skyrocketed, but his temperament had also become exceptionally extraordinary, as if he were a person descended from the celestial realm.
With the change in his destiny, Lin Ang's destiny attributes had also changed. Looking closely...
...
Name: Lin Ang
Cultivation Realm: 7th stage Qi Refining Realm
Fate Unbound by Heaven: Your destiny has deviated from its predetermined direction, leading to an unknown future. At this moment, your fate is entirely under your control.
Natural Supreme: Born with a Supreme Bone, your luck, temperament, understanding, and talent are all enhanced. It also benefits those around you.
...
Originally, according to his predetermined fate, Lin Ang would have died next month. Now, having activated the Supreme Bone, he avoided this deathly fate. As long as he proceeded steadily, he would surely survive in this perilous cultivation world and step by step reach the pinnacle of the cultivation.
Having been reborn, he refused to be mediocre. "There is still one month left until the inner sect examination..."
"I must quickly improve my strength. It would be best to enter the Spirit Cultivation Realm by then."
Currently, his 7th-stage Qi Refining Realm strength was considered top-tier in the entire outer sect! He was practically guaranteed a spot in the inner sect.
However, there were also distinctions among these top-tier disciples. During the sect examination, all disciples will do their utmost to showcase their strength. Outstanding performers might even be selected by inner sect elders as core disciples or even true disciples!
True disciples, in particular, were nurtured by the sect as potential future sect elders, eligible to compete for sect positions! For Lin Ang, who now possessed the Supreme Bone, he needed abundant cultivation resources to help him soar higher.
"One month should be enough..."
"Entering the Spirit Cultivation Realm. Then, during the sect examination, I will dominate the entire outer sect!"
Subsequently, Lin Ang closed his eyes and began his breathing exercises...
...
A night passed.
Early the next morning, as the sky began to brighten slightly, Lin Ang exhaled gently while sitting still. His inner energy had once again expanded!
Breakthrough!
8th stage Qi Refining Realm!!
"The Supreme Bone is truly formidable. Without any heavenly materials or earthly treasures, just one night of meditation brought me such a huge improvement!!"
If the other outer sect disciples knew this, they would probably be so enraged that they would spit blood!!
Even the core disciples of the outer sect, with outstanding talent, would need at least a year of hard cultivation to make a breakthrough from the 7th to the 8th stage Qi Refining Realm!!
And Lin Ang? He just slept and made a breakthrough?! This was simply not giving others a chance...
Afterward, Lin Ang slowly got up.
"The outer sect regulations state that as long as one reaches the 5th stage Qi Refining Realm, they can go to the Scripture Pavilion to select advanced martial skills."
Now that his cultivation had advanced rapidly, it was time to choose a martial skill to enhance his strength.
...
There were two places in the outer sect for selecting martial skills.
One was the Library Hall, specifically for disciples below the 5th stage Qi Refining Realm. The other was the Martial Arts Pavilion, for disciples above the 5th stage Qi Refining Realm!
The Martial Arts Pavilion houses a variety of high-level martial skills. Those eligible to enter and select martial skills here were the elite disciples of the outer sect, strong candidates for entering the inner sect.
"Elder, I'm here to choose my first martial skill for training."
Lin Ang entered the Martial Arts Pavilion and directly addressed an elder behind the counter. The elder in a plain robe, seemed like an ordinary old man. However, upon closer observation, it was evident that the energy of this place resonated with the elder's breathing.
To guard such a place in the sect, one must possess great abilities. The high-level martial skills in the Martial Arts Pavilion were extremely valuable to the outer sect. Only by completing sect missions or making significant contributions to the outer sect can one have the opportunity to select martial skills here. Besides that, disciples who successfully made a breakthrough to the 5th stage Qi Refining Realm could choose one martial manual for free.
The outer sect elder nodded upon hearing this. Seeing Lin Ang, he seemed a bit surprised.
Outer Sect Elder: "I remember you. You once transplanted your bloodline to save Ye Cangxue's life! Have your cultivation talents recovered?"
Back then, Lin Ang was also a top disciple of the outer sect, reaching the 4th stage of the Spirit Cultivation Realm at a young age. It was only a matter of time before he entered the inner sect. However, to save Ye Cangxue, Lin Ang gave up his bloodline, losing his cultivation talents, and his cultivation declined significantly. The elders of the outer sect all lamented this loss.
Lin Ang replied calmly, "I've been lucky. After years of hard cultivation, my damaged bloodline has recovered."
The outer sect elder sensed Lin Ang's cultivation...
8th stage Qi Refining Realm!!
Lin Ang spoke lightly, but the elder knew very well how difficult it was to restore a damaged bloodline. For Lin Ang to reach the 8th stage Qi Refining Realm, there must have been great fortune behind it.
After a moment, the outer sect elder nodded, "These years of hard cultivation must have tempered your character. Cultivation is not just about physical strength but also about mental fortitude. It may not be a misfortune."
"Go ahead. You can only choose one martial manual and must return it within a month."
With that, the elder handed Lin Ang a token.
"Thank you, Elder."
...
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the Martial Arts Pavilion, Chen Fan, who had just been scolded by his father, a sect elder, was passing by.
He saw an unbelievable sight!!
The one who ran errands for him yesterday, Lin Ang, was entering the Martial Arts Pavilion?? This meant that Lin Ang's cultivation had reached the 5th stage of the Qi Refining Realm!!
"What... is going on?"
"Impossible!!"
Chen Fan was completely stunned!! Yesterday, Lin Ang's cultivation was at the 1st stage Qi Refining Realm!! Chen Fan knew he couldn't have been mistaken. Even as the son of an elder, he wasn't qualified to enter the Martial Arts Pavilion!! So, Lin Ang must now be at least at the 5th stage Qi Refining Realm!!
Chen Fan clenched his fists, "He must have encountered some fortuitous opportunity!!"
"Otherwise, how could he make a breakthrough in so many stages in just one day?"
At the same time, Chen Fan sighed with envy... Recently, his cultivation had been stagnant, and he was frustrated.
Unknowingly, he wandered to the back mountain and arrived at a cliff.
He usually liked to overlook the scenery from here, which helped him relax.
"Hmm?"
At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly noticed that the spiritual Qi around the cliff was abundant!! Chen Fan's senses had always been keen since childhood, and his intuition told him!! There might be a treasure nearby!!
Excited, Chen Fan searched around and found a remnant root of a spiritual herb near the cliff. Although it was rich in spiritual Qi, the herb had been picked, and the remnant root was like waste!!
Judging by the remaining spiritual Qi, it was at least a third-grade spiritual herb!!
"A third-grade spiritual herb!! For an outer sect disciple, such a treasure is enough to change one's fate!!"
"Damn it, someone took it before me!!"
It was then that Chen Fan realized!! His body trembled slightly, "This third-grade spiritual herb... must have been taken by Lin Ang!!"
"It was this herb that allowed him to transform overnight!!"
At this moment... Chen Fan's body suddenly stiffened...
"In other words..."
"This opportunity should have been mine?!"
-To be continued!
