Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Elder Yu Gives a Gift, Divine Fire Triple Realm

Lin Jing and Huang Qingling were stunned after hearing that.

The shock to them was so intense that they couldn’t recover their senses up to now.

They didn’t expect that the South Ming Realm.

Would actually have such a secret.

Elder Yu didn’t pay attention to the two who were shocked into stillness and continued,

“Even that evil being absorbed all the Spiritual Energy of the South Ming Realm as its nourishment.”

“Over time, the Spiritual Energy of the South Ming Realm became thinner and even the cultivation resources also became extremely scarce…”

“Some people, unwilling to stay here, took their entire Sect and relocated to one of the other three realms, or even to the Demonic Monster Sea.”

“And those Sects that were unwilling to leave and stayed here, gradually declined in this environment where the Spiritual Energy was thinning…”

“You should know…”

“The South Ming Realm used to be called the South Ming Realm; its strength across the entire realm wasn’t much less compared to the current Eastern Spirit Realm.”

“But that catastrophe…”

“Has turned the whole South Ming Realm into a dead realm.”

“Some people speculate…”

“That this unrivaled evil being actually came from the Immortal Realm, but no one could approach it. No one had seen its true face, so it remains an unsolvable mystery…”

“Of course, over these countless years…”

“There have been people who tried to enter the Barren Forbidden Zone, intending to find out the truth.”

“But those people…”

“No matter how well-prepared they were before.”

“Not one person was able to come out alive.”

“So, now you know…”

“Why a Demon Race Secret Realm could attract so many Cultivators to come here, right?”

“Because…”

“Almost all of the various secret realms in the South Ming Realm are within the Barren Forbidden Zone.”

“The cultivation resources of the South Ming Realm are too scarce…”

“I understand…”

Lin Jing nodded.

After listening to Elder Yu’s narrative, Lin Jing felt shocked and found it hard to accept.

Who would have thought that the South Ming Realm could have encountered such a catastrophe?

The countless lives of the entire South Ming Realm had perished in an instant when disaster struck.

And those souls couldn’t even enter the cycle of rebirth, suffering eternally.

After Elder Yu finished, his mood didn’t seem to be very good either.

He lifted his cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Jing was still thinking about what Elder Yu had mentioned and hadn’t been able to react.

“Lin lad, pour the wine…”

It was Elder Yu’s words that startled Lin Jing back to awareness.

Lin Jing quickly grabbed the wine jug and poured another cup for Elder Yu.

At this moment, Elder Yu spoke,

“Kid, you better not think about it anymore. This kind of disaster isn’t something we can comprehend.”

“You must know, the recorded Cultivators who’ve entered the Barren Forbidden Zone to seek the truth all had at least reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in their Cultivation.”

“They were helpless in the face of it, so it’s even more impractical for us to talk about…”

“Let’s talk about something else…”

Huang Qingling also recovered her senses by this time and said,

“Yes, let’s talk about something else…”

But her expression was still somewhat absentminded…

Following that, Elder Yu reached into his Storage Bag, searching for something.

After a moment, he took out a Jade Slip from the Storage Bag and handed it to Lin Jing.

“Lin lad, take this, it’s a gift for you…”

“Another gift for me?”

Lin Jing didn’t react at first.

“Nonsense. I brought a gift for Qingling, of course there’s one for you too…”

“Hurry up and take it…”

“Oh, okay…”

Lin Jing came to his senses, quickly reached out, and took the Jade Slip from Elder Yu’s hand.

Huang Qingling also calmed her emotions and hurriedly leaned over to look at the Jade Slip, asking Elder Yu,

“What is this…”

Elder Yu said,

“A Cultivation Technique…”

“‘Divine Fire Triple Realm’.”

“This cultivation technique has no grade, it’s an extraordinary technique for controlling your own fire, incredibly powerful when used, especially for Alchemists.”

“This Divine Fire Triple Realm was researched by the families of the Ancient Alchemy Path specifically for controlling fire.”

“It is much more powerful than the fire control techniques you are using now, Lin lad.”

Elder Yu looked toward Lin Jing and said.

“And, he can also enhance the power of his own flames, using them as fire spells in battle, where their power is extremely formidable.”

“Even when spellcasting cultivators of the same realm duel, he can hold his own without falling behind.”

“If one can cultivate the Divine Fire Triple Realm to the third realm, even when facing cultivators with higher cultivation, one would still stand a chance to fight…”

“Of course…”

“Cultivating the third realm of the Divine Fire Triple Realm is not easy.”

“Even the Grand Elder of Yiyun Pavilion has only cultivated to the second realm.”

“After you go back, you must study it thoroughly…”

“Once you’ve mastered it…”

“Even just the first realm of the Divine Fire Triple Realm will allow you to concoct Elixir Medicines with much more ease.”

“Yes, I understand…”

Lin Jing nodded and said.

“Thank you, Elder Yu…”

Elder Yu waved his hand, saying, “What’s all this…”

“Come, let’s drink…”

Having said that, the group raised their glasses…

After swallowing a cup of wine, Elder Yu picked up a dish from the table and began to eat heartily.

When he finished, he kept praising:

“Kid, your culinary skills have improved since I last saw you.”

“Not bad, not bad…”

Lin Jing said:

“Elder Yu, if you like it, I can cook for you every day.”

Elder Yu shook his head and said:

“Delicacies should be enjoyed occasionally. If you eat them every day, you’re likely to grow tired of them.”

“Uh… Okay…”

“Whenever you want to eat, I’ll cook for you…” Lin Jing said.

Afterward.

The group continued to eat and chat, consuming several more cups of wine.

At that moment, Elder Bai turned to Lin Jing and said:

“We’re aware of the issue with Steward Zheng targeting you…”

“He is such a person, intolerant of any slight. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”

“Don’t worry, Elder Bai, I understand…” Lin Jing replied hastily.

In fact, from the incident with Steward Zheng targeting him, Lin Jing guessed that someone knew of his temperament.

And that someone had ‘understood’ Lin Jing’s alchemy skills to some extent.

Thus, they used Steward Zheng to set him up.

However…

In the beginning,

Lin Jing didn’t understand Steward Zheng’s character.

Therefore, misunderstandings arose.

But as time went on,

The character of Steward Zheng was witnessed by Lin Jing, who turned out to be a person of integrity.

After Lin Jing realized this, he naturally understood everything.

Elder Bai nodded and continued:

“But you indeed did well…”

“I thought it would take you a while to complete Yuebaolou’s Offering Priest task on your own.”

“I didn’t expect that in just a few months, your level in the Alchemy Dao would rise to such an extent. You have truly impressed me.”

Lin Jing was somewhat flattered, as it was the first time Elder Bai had praised him.

Lin Jing hurriedly clasped his hands:

“You flatter me too much, Elder Bai…”

At this point, Elder Yu, who was sitting nearby, also looked toward Lin Jing with a puzzled face and asked:

“Right, Lin lad…”

“How did you manage it?”

“How could you complete the Pill Master Offering Priest task so quickly?”

After saying this, Elder Yu didn’t forget to turn to Elder Bai and boast:

“See, I told you…”

“He’s a natural-born alchemy genius. His talent in the Alchemy Dao is not far from that of Li Tangyu.”

“Alright, alright…”

“You’re right, …”

Elder Bai replied helplessly to Elder Yu’s smugness.
