Lin Shen was about to comfort them when his expression suddenly changed. He turned around and realized that a man had appeared beside him.

The man had a rough face and a stocky build, but he didn’t look fierce. Instead, he gave off a heroic feeling.

Xie Jingsheng exclaimed when he saw the person’s face.

“Elder Ji!”

The remaining two inner sect disciples also recognized the man. They hurriedly bowed and said respectfully, “Greetings, Elder Ji!”

Elder Ji nodded and didn’t even look at them. Instead, he stared at Lin Shen. After sizing him up a few times, he said with a strange expression,

“I didn’t expect you to be so capable. You’ve even seriously injured Wu Ji!”

As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent!

Xie Jingsheng and the others looked at Lin Shen in shock, completely stunned on the spot.

Lin Shen seriously injured Wu Ji?

How was that possible?!

But then everyone realized that it was Elder Ji who said this.

How could a dignified cultivator master make things up?

In that case… it was true!

Everyone was shocked, and their heads buzzed.

If someone told them that a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator could severely injure a cultivator master before today, they would definitely scoff.

But now, such a strange thing had happened!

At this moment, Elder Ji spoke again.

“If Wu Ji wasn’t injured, 1 wouldn’t have been able to kill him and take his storage ring. Speaking of which, you’ve made contributions, so 1 won’t take advantage of you. This bottle of Mystic Essence Liquid will be your reward!”

With that, Elder Ji threw Lin Shen a porcelain bottle.

Lin Shen reached out to take it and looked at the porcelain bottle curiously. Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly saw Xie Jingsheng’s shocked and envious expression from the corner of his eye. He held back his question.

After giving it to him, Elder Ji didn’t stay any longer. He turned around and flew toward the cave.

After watching Elder Ji leave, Lin Shen asked Xie Jingsheng, “Senior Brother Xie, what’s the use of this Mystic Essence Liquid?”

Xie Jingsheng looked at the Mystic Essence Liquid in Lin Shen’s hand enviously and explained,

“Mystic Essence Liquid is very useful. It works the same as the Cast Spirit Pills. It’s used to forge spirit meridians!

“However, the effect of the Mystic Essence Liquid is much stronger than the Cast Spirit Pills. One drop of the Mystic Essence Liquid is equivalent to a hundred Cast Spirit Pills. This thing is extremely popular in the sect. Many disciples are eyeing it. To be able to obtain the Mystic Essence Liquid from Elder Ji, Junior Brother Lin…”

Xie Jingsheng wanted to say that Lin Shen was so lucky that everyone envied him, but on second thought, he realized the Mystic Essence Liquid was a reward Lin Shen had obtained from severely injuring a Blood Sea Sect cultivator master. Xie Jingsheng didn’t say those words.

Lin Shen didn’t care about Xie Jingsheng’s strange reaction. When he heard that a drop of Mystic Essence Liquid was worth a hundred Cast Spirit Pills, his eyes lit up.

He immediately uncorked the bottle and took a closer look. There were at least seven to eight drops of Mystic Essence Liquid in the bottle. He was instantly overjoyed.

This bottle of Mystic Essence Liquid was probably enough for the Extreme Intelligence Will Hurt clone to forge its spirit meridians to the limit!

“It seems like Elder Ji obtained a lot of benefits from Wu Ji. Otherwise, why would he be willing to give out a bottle of Mystic Essence Liquid?” Lin Shen guessed.

Even so, he had no objections to this.

Even though he used Amaze the World to severely injure Wu Ji, it was impossible for him to kill the latter.

Wu Ji died at Elder Ji’s hands, and Lin Shen obtained a bottle of extremely precious Mystic Essence Liquid. It was undoubtedly a happy ending.

After coming back to his senses, Lin Shen put away the Mystic Essence Liquid and asked Xie Jingsheng, “Senior Brother Xie, who is this Elder Ji?”

Xie Jingsheng smiled. “Elder Ji Zhiyuan is one of the three Deputy Heads of the sect’s Military Department. He’s a late-phase Spirit Nurturing cultivator master and is extremely powerful!”

A late-phase Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator master!

No wonder he could kill Wu Ji so quickly!

Lin Shen was enlightened.

While they were talking, more and more people entered the cave above the basin.

Seeing this, Xie Jing heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

“Everyone, let’s go back!”

After exiting the cave eye and returning to the cave in the belly of the mountain, everyone looked at their surroundings and felt as if a lifetime had passed.

They had only stayed in the spirit cave for a little more than a month, but everyone felt like a long time had passed.

At this moment, a warden walked over. He first cupped his hands at Lin Shen and the others before saying,

“Greetings, everyone. According to Elder Ji’s orders, there are many things that I need to ask you about the recent incident in the spirit cave!”

It was only right for them to ask about what had happened. Lin Shen and the others didn’t mind and recounted what had happened in the past month.

The warden listened attentively and gestured for the disciples beside him to record.

After he finished recording, he apologized to Lin Shen and the others. He then instructed someone to fetch a flying crane to send everyone back to the sect and the Nine Yang Academy.

They came here on the Dragon Tooth Flying Ship. However, Xie Jingsheng had yet to recover from his injuries and had consumed a lot of energy. He was unable to control the Dragon Tooth Flying Ship, so they could only make do and ride the flying crane.

On the way back, Lin Shen suddenly thought of something and asked Ai Jingting, “I heard from Senior Brother Xie that you’re an extraordinary alchemist.”

Ai Jingting was surprised and hurriedly said, “Senior Brother Xie, you flatter me. The path of alchemy is broad and profound. My skills are still far from exquisite.”

After a pause, Ai Jingting seemed to have thought of something and asked, “Senior Brother Lin, do you need my help to refine pills?”

Since she had guessed his intention, Lin Shen didn’t beat around the bush and simply nodded.

“That’s right.. I wonder if Junior Sister Ai has refined Cast Spirit Pills before?”
