After listening to the defenses of the two women and Lin Jingâs self-vindication, Yan Ming also knew there must be some reasons behind it all.
He then asked Lin Jing with some curiosity:
âOh?â
âCould it be that compared to before, Lin Daoyou has undergone a significant change?â
Lin Jing nodded, and then said:
âThatâs rightâ¦â
âPreviously, on Li Yan Island, I had been practicing a Body Refining Technique, which made my physique incredibly exaggerated, even more robust-looking than Master Qi Yanâs.â
âIt wasnât until Brother Lu and the others brought Yan Xing and Yan Yue back to Spirit Rock Island that I managed to cultivate this technique up to the seventh level, the highest, which allowed me to return to my original state.â
After hearing Lin Jingâs words, Yan Ming suddenly turned his head and looked toward Qi Yan Immortalâ¦

Qi Yan Immortal also furrowed his brows slightly before he asked:
âLin Daoyouâ¦â
âIf Iâm not mistaken, the Body Refining Technique you practiced before was the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique, wasnât it?â
Lin Jing was somewhat surprised and nodded:
âMaster Qi Yan really is knowledgeable; indeed, I practiced the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique.â
Yan Ming seemed to know something, so he spoke up:
âLin Daoyou, you misunderstood. The reason Master Qi Yan knows so clearly is because the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique has some connections with himâ¦â
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing turned around, looking at Qi Yan Immortal with puzzlementâ¦
Qi Yan Immortal lowered his head, silent for a moment, then raised it and explained to Lin Jing:
âThis Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique was created by my master. However, after certain events, my master was pursued by enemies, and he disappeared.â
âThe Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique that he created disappeared along with my master.â
âAs of now, my master has been missing for hundreds of years; Iâm afraid he has long since perishedâ¦â
âMay I know where Lin Daoyou found this technique?â
âHave you encountered my masterâs remains?â
Lin Jing suddenly realized why Qi Yan Immortal was so familiar with this technique.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Thus, Lin Jing replied:
âI obtained the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique from the body of an enemy, but as for where he acquired it, I have no idea.â
After listening, Qi Yan Immortal again fell into silence and then said:
âI seeâ¦â
Having finished speaking, Qi Yan Immortal looked at Lin Jing earnestly and said:
âLin Daoyou!â
âI have an impertinent requestâ¦â
âI would like to reclaim the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique left by my master from Lin Daoyou. I wonder if Lin Daoyou would be willing?â
âAs long as Lin Daoyou is willing to part with this technique, I am ready to pay any price.â
Seeing his manner, Lin Jing did not hesitate and took out the technique from his Space Ring, handing it to Qi Yan Immortal, saying:
âWhat are you saying, Master Qi Yanâ¦â
âThis technique originally belonged to the master, Iâll simply give it to you.â
Qi Yan Immortal looked at Lin Jing and did not reach out to take the book, instead saying:
âOne should not accept rewards without deserving them. Since this technique was obtained by Lin Daoyou, it naturally belongs to you, and I have no right to just take it.â
âTell me, what do you want?â
At this point, Yan Ming also spoke up, saying:
âLin Daoyouâ¦â
âWhat Master Qi Yan said is right, although this technique was previously owned by his master, it has now come into your hands, and it is naturally your possession.â
âWhatever you need, do not hesitate to ask.â
âWhether itâs a Magical Treasure, Spirit Stones, or rare Spirit Plants, we will strive to fulfill your needsâ¦â
â¦â¦
After listening, Lin Jing pondered for a moment, then spoke:
âMaster Qi Yan, if I may, I do have a matter for which I need Master Qi Yanâs assistanceâ¦â
Qi Yan Immortal immediately opened his mouth to speak:
âLin Daoyou, please proceedâ¦â
Lin Jing then spoke to Qi Yan Immortal:
âMaster Qi Yan, I possess a Magical Treasure I wish to upgrade. The materials have already been prepared by me, but I have not yet found a suitable Energy Refinement Master.â
âYour esteemed name, Master Qi Yan, has long reached my ears, and I am aware that you are a renowned Energy Refinement Master in the southern outer seas.â
âSoâ¦â
âIf possible, I hope that Master Qi Yan could take a look and see if that Magical Treasure can be upgraded.â
Upon hearing this, Qi Yan Immortal raised an eyebrow, instantly intrigued, and said:
âOh?â
âWhat kind of Magical Treasure? Bring it to me to see.â
After saying this, Qi Yan Immortal added:
âLin Daoyou, our levels of Cultivation are not much different, thereâs no need to call me master, just call me daoyou.â
Lin Jing nodded and replied:
âVery wellâ¦â
âPlease wait a moment, Qi Yan Daoyouâ¦â
After finishing his words, Lin Jing directly took out his Magical Treasure â the Ling Yin Flawless Sword, and the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique, and handed them over to Qi Yan Immortal.
Qi Yan Immortal reached out and took the Ling Yin Flawless Sword and the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique.
Thenâ¦
Qi Yan Immortal first glanced at the Ling Yin Flawless Sword, placing it aside, and then picked up the Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique, wiping it gently, his eyes filled with reminiscence.
After wiping, he opened it and began to read through the contentsâ¦
It was only after a moment that Qi Yan Immortal withdrew his somewhat melancholic gaze and said softly:
âThis Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique is indeed the one created by my masterâ¦â
âBack then, in order to accelerate my entry into the path of Artifact Refining, my master specially crafted a Cultivation Technique for me, this Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique.â
âNow when I think about it, it has already been more than a thousand years ago, and even my masterâs disappearance has been several hundred yearsâ¦â
âHow time fliesâ¦â
Having said that, Qi Yan Immortal lifted his head and asked Lin Jing:
âLin Daoyou, do you know where your enemy acquired this technique?â
Lin Jing responded:
âThis Seven Refinement Body Forging Technique was taken from his Storage Bag after my enemyâs death. As for where he got it, Iâm not entirely certain.â
âHoweverâ¦â
âI do know that the enemy had once established a ruin in the Demonic Monster Sea, and itâs very possible that he acquired the technique there.â
âA ruin?â
âWhat sort of ruin is it?â wondered Qi Yan Immortal.
Lin Jing recalled for a moment, thinking about the previous conversation between Wu Cai Immortal and the Zhang Family Patriarch in the Demon Race Secret Realm, and the techniques both practicedâ¦
He then spoke:
âThis ruinâ¦â
âIs very likely related to the Five Elements. Qi Yan Daoyou might want to pay attention to this.â
After hearing this, Qi Yan Immortalâs brow furrowed as he mused:
âA ruin related to the Five Elements?â
A moment later, Qi Yan Immortal seemed to have thought of something and spoke:
âSpeaking of ruins related to the Five Elements in the southern outer seas, there indeed is oneâ¦â
âTo my knowledgeâ¦â
âThousands of years ago, there was once a Cultivator who practiced Five Elements Spells in the southern outer seas, remarkably powerful, asserting dominance over the entire region single-handedly.â
âIt is saidâ¦â
âThe Five Elements Cultivation Technique he practiced was obtained from a certain ruin, and what you, Lin Daoyou, mentioned might indeed be that very ruinâ¦â
