Chapter 141: Chapter 89: The Maoshan Sect of the Shangqing School

Luo Qian nodded, his attention shifting back to the high-spirited Wang Yiming at the front. With a hint of admiration and emotion in his eyes, he leaned close to Lin Yi’s ear and whispered,

"But Lin, just look at Senior Wang... his ambition is nothing to scoff at! He’s trying to... become the founding patriarch of Blue Star’s Spiritual Power cultivation system!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi just raised an eyebrow slightly and didn’t reply.

The problem of Martial Artists’ weak Spiritual Power had plagued the Martial Artists of Blue Star for hundreds of years.

Countless brilliant and talented individuals had desperately sought a solution.

Wang Yiming was just one of them.

Luo Qian’s mind always jumped from one thing to the next. He suddenly thought of another question and asked Lin Yi in a hushed, secretive tone,

"Hey, Lin, do you think... it’s possible? That someone has already unearthed a Spiritual Power Cultivation Skill from some secret Pre-Qin tomb long ago? It’s just that... they’ve been hiding it, treating it like a family heirloom or their ultimate ace in the hole, and never made it public?"

Lin Yi tilted his head and thought about it seriously before finally shaking his head.

"Something like that... who knows? You can never truly know what’s in someone’s heart. It’s possible, but there’s no way to confirm it."

Luo Qian’s eyes darted around as he posed a more direct question:

"Then... what about you? Lin, if you had some heaven-defying luck and actually discovered a complete Spiritual Power Cultivation Skill, what would you do? Would you be like Senior Wang hopes, selflessly making it public immediately to benefit all of humanity?"

Lin Yi: "I..."

He subconsciously opened his mouth to say, ’Of course I would,’ but the words died on his lips. It was as if something had lodged in his throat, forcing him to swallow them back down.

He opened and closed his mouth, ultimately just falling silent as a complex emotion flickered in his eyes.

’It seems...’

’I wouldn’t!’

Luo Qian seemed to see through his hesitation. He chuckled and said in a matter-of-fact tone,

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t think twice. I’d find a deserted place and practice in secret! I’d wait until I was invincible before saying anything! Think about it, if you really master Spiritual Power, how badass would that be? If you don’t like someone, you could make them kneel with just a look! What a huge advantage! If I was stupid enough to make it public and everyone learned it, where would that leave me? My advantage would be gone! Getting rich in silence is the only way to go! Don’t you think?"

Lin Yi couldn’t refute it.

He felt that what Luo Qian said was more in line with human nature.

’Perhaps...’

’...there really is a small group of people in this world who have mastered a Spiritual Power Cultivation Skill, but they keep it secret, using it as their greatest trump card to control power and maintain their status?’

Lin Yi shook his head, no longer dwelling on this hypothetical question that could only lead to more trouble.

He adjusted his posture, relaxed his body, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Alright, stop overthinking it. Let’s conserve our energy. We’re almost there."

He needed to get himself into optimal condition.

Wangwu Mountain was located in Yuan City, in the northwestern part of Nanjiang Province. It was a major peak at the southern end of the majestic Taihang Mountain Range. With its magnificent and imposing form, it had been a sacred site for the Taoist School since ancient times.

Yang City bordered Yuan City, so the distance wasn’t that far.

The bus traveled smoothly along the wide highway to Yuan City. Outside the window, the city skyline gradually gave way to rolling mountain ranges.

Lin Yi appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but a sliver of his consciousness was already immersed in controlling his Mosquito Avatar.

Ten meters up in the air.

The invisible Mosquito Avatar was closely following the bus below with astonishing speed and stability.

[Flight Proficiency +1!]

[Concealment Proficiency +1!]

[Tracking Proficiency +1!]

Faint system notifications echoed continuously in the depths of Lin Yi’s mind.

As the Mosquito Avatar flew at high speed, it kept the [Flight], [Concealment], and [Tracking] skills active.

It was taking this opportunity to grind proficiency.

Just then, Lin Yi pulled up the system panel to check the stats of his Mosquito Avatar.

[Avatar]: Shadowless Blood Mosquito.

[Level]: LV17 (First Grade).

[Experience Points]: 3816/7000.

[Skills]: Blood Sucking (Limit Broken x1), Paralysis (Limit Broken x1), Concealment LV9 (514/900), Flight LV10 (991/1000), Tracking LV9 (626/900), Iron Body LV1 (21/100).

Lin Yi’s gaze focused on the [Flight] skill—

LV10 (991/1000)!

It was only 9 proficiency points away from max level!

At this efficient grinding speed, the [Flight] skill would likely reach the Perfection stage of LV10 by the time the bus reached the foot of Wangwu Mountain!

It would be ready to have its limit broken.

Lin Yi was already well aware of the power of [Blood Sucking] and [Paralysis] after their first limit break.

So, after [Flight]’s limit was broken, what terrifying level would it reach?

...

[Flight Proficiency +1!]

[Flight LV10 (999/1000) → Flight LV10 (1000/1000)!]

[Detected that skill [Flight] has reached max level. Limit break conditions met!]

[Do you wish to break the limit of skill [Flight]?]

’It’s here!’

Lin Yi’s heart trembled.

’This is the moment I’ve been waiting for!’

He didn’t hesitate in the slightest, issuing a decisive command:

"Yes! Break the limit now!!"

[Breaking limit...]

[Limit break successful!]

[Skill [Flight] has completed its first limit break sublimation!]

[Flight (Limit Broken x1)]: You can consume your own Qi and Blood to increase your speed, doubling your current speed.

"Hmm?!"

Lin Yi examined the new ability description for the limit-broken [Flight], and his pupils constricted slightly.

A trace of astonishment arose in his heart.

’Speed, directly doubled!’

’But the cost is a massive consumption of Qi and Blood?’

At first glance, the ability seemed a bit lackluster. The cost was enormous, yet the increase was only double?

However...
