The Black Tiger Gang's foundation wasn't insignificant, but there was little that caught Xiao Lingchen's eye.

  Such a large gang, yet it didn't even possess a single Earth Grade Divine Power, nor a decent Divine Artifact, leaving Xiao Lingchen somewhat speechless.

  Fortunately, there were over five hundred higher-grade Spirit Stones, and plenty of Spiritual Pills and Herbs.

  They could barely add some bricks and mortar to Xiao Lingchen's cultivation.

  "This is!"

  At this moment.

  Xiao Lingchen suddenly noticed a peculiar Spiritual Herb amidst the mountain of Spiritual Pills and Herbs.

  He immediately stepped forward, picked it up, and examined it closely.

  "This is... the Spirit Heart Orchid!"

  Xiao Lingchen's eyes lit up with joy.

  The Spirit Heart Orchid is an extremely rare Fifth Grade Spiritual Herb, of the same grade as the Blazing Red Lotus.

  The difference is.

  This Spirit Heart Orchid not only enhances cultivation but also boosts the power of the soul!

  Currently, Xiao Lingchen's body, transformed by Fate Transformation Qi, is immortal and indestructible.

  But the soul remains a weakness.

  Thousands of years ago, Yue Lianyi perished because her soul was destroyed.

  This has always weighed heavily on Xiao Lingchen's mind, constantly seeking ways to strengthen his soul to avoid following in Yue Lianyi's footsteps.

  However, methods to enhance the soul are scarce and extremely difficult, with few treasures available, leaving Xiao Lingchen at a loss.

  Unexpectedly, this time, he stumbled upon the Spirit Heart Orchid.

  After refining it, his soul would receive a significant boost.

  Xiao Lingchen was about to enter the Void Space of the Heaven and Earth Mirror to cultivate.

  But the door suddenly opened.

  Seeing Ning Huanhuan's bashful demeanor, Xiao Lingchen immediately knew what she wanted.

  He said helplessly:

  "Didn't you say your current realm was sufficient? Why are you still coming to me?"

  Ning Huanhuan blushed and mumbled:

  "I feel like I'm still a bit short..."

  Xiao Lingchen sighed:

  "I really can't do anything about you."

  ..............................

  Meanwhile.

  At the back mountain of the Supreme Mystical Sect.

  The stars twinkled, and the bright moon hung high.

  But at this moment, the temperature in the back mountain was shockingly low!

  In the sweltering September summer, it was as cold as the depths of winter.

  On the bed in the wooden house, Jiang Luoxian was covered in a thick layer of frost.

  The icy touch pierced deep into her bones, causing her immense pain, as if thousands of needles were stabbing her body.

  Even though she continuously circulated her Spiritual Power, trying to dispel the cold.

  The effect was negligible.

  The Yin Cold Qi raged within her like a venomous snake.

  As time passed, Jiang Luoxian's complexion grew paler, and her lips lost their color.

  Every breath required all her strength.

  Sweat dripped from her forehead, merging with the frost on her face, forming crystal-clear droplets that fell on the pillow.

  After a long time, the frost receded.

  Jiang Luoxian collapsed weakly onto the bed.

  Sweat had soaked her entire body.

  She gasped for air, a bitter smile on her face:

  "The Yin Cold Qi is getting stronger and stronger, I don't know how many more times I can endure its outbursts."

  The Yin Cold Qi.

  A powerful aura naturally formed by the Saint Body of the Moon, its vast cold energy could instantly freeze everything for miles, bringing all to silence.

  It's a deadly move that makes the Saint Body of the Moon feared by many!

  But the drawbacks of the Saint Body of the Moon are also extremely apparent.

  It endlessly generates Yin Cold Qi.

  And it cannot be expelled from the body!

  In her youth, Jiang Luoxian could suppress it with some fire-attributed treasures.

  But as she grew older and her cultivation increased, the Yin Cold Qi accumulated more and more.

  Now, the Yin Cold Qi in her body had reached an extremely terrifying level.

  No treasure could suppress it anymore.

  Moreover, the outbursts of Yin Cold Qi were becoming more frequent and intense.

  If she couldn't find a way to refine it, one day she would freeze to death, unable to control the Yin Cold Qi, just like her mother!

  ..............................

  The next day.

  Xiao Lingchen returned to reality from the Void Space.

  After last night's intense battle with Ning Huanhuan, he still entered the Void Space to refine the Spirit Heart Orchid.

  At this moment, his soul had been enhanced, and his strength had increased significantly.

  Making Xiao Lingchen feel refreshed this morning!

  "No wonder people often say, 'A hundred days of cultivation aren't as good as a day of soul refining,' the cost-effectiveness of soul cultivation is much higher than simple cultivation!"

  "In the future, I need to find more ways to cultivate the soul."

  Returning to reality, Ning Huanhuan and others had been waiting outside for a long time.

  Xiao Lingchen didn't waste words, leading them to continue on their journey.

  Upon reaching the nearest city, Xiao Lingchen released the women he had rescued from the Black Tiger Gang, giving them enough Spirit Stones to live on, and let them go.

  On the way to the Supreme Mystical Sect, Xiao Lingchen discovered several hideouts of the Black Tiger Gang remnants.

  But now these places were deserted.

  It made sense, the Black Tiger Gang had committed many crimes, and their greatest reliance was their Gang Leader Luo Xiaohu.

  Now that Luo Xiaohu was dead, the entire Black Tiger Gang naturally disbanded.

  If anyone dared to stay, they would likely be found by their former enemies in no time!

  By afternoon.

  Xiao Lingchen and his companions finally returned to the Supreme Mystical Sect!

  At this moment, the Supreme Mystical Sect was bustling, not only with its own disciples but also with disciples from other sects coming to participate in the Sect Tournament.

  "Senior Sister Ning, you're back!"

  The gatekeeping disciples greeted Ning Huanhuan respectfully upon seeing her.

  "It's been a while, Senior Sister Ning, you're looking more radiant than ever!"

  The disciples complimented her with smiles.

  However, upon hearing this.

  Ning Huanhuan's cheeks immediately flushed.

  Only she and Xiao Lingchen knew why she looked so radiant.

  Then, the disciples turned their attention to Xiao Lingchen, their faces showing curiosity.

  "Senior Sister Ning, who is this?"

  Ning Huanhuan introduced:

  "This is Xiao Lingchen, the personal disciple who joined our Sect Master's tutelage a few months ago."

  At this, the gatekeeping disciples were taken aback.

  "So you're Xiao Lingchen?"

  The name Xiao Lingchen had already spread throughout the Supreme Mystical Sect.

  On the day of the disciple selection, he was fiercely contested by the sect's high-ranking members due to his extraordinary talent, ultimately being taken under the wing of the mysterious Sect Master as the sole personal disciple.

  These events had left the disciples of the Supreme Mystical Sect extremely curious about what kind of person Xiao Lingchen was.

  But after joining the sect, he had stayed in the back mountain, training with Jiang Luoxian.

  As a result, almost all the disciples of the Supreme Mystical Sect had only heard his name, never seen him in person.

  Now finally seeing Xiao Lingchen's true appearance, these disciples couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

  Then they began to flatter him:

  "Junior Brother Lingchen is indeed a fine-looking talent with extraordinary gifts, no wonder the Sect Master took him under his wing."

  "Junior Brother Lingchen, hello, I am Jiang Yuanji from Alchemy Peak. If you have any questions about alchemy in the future, feel free to come to me."

  "Junior Brother Lingchen, do you have a Dao companion?"

  "......"

  As the Sect Master's personal disciple, Xiao Lingchen's future was boundless.

  If they could befriend him now, their days in the sect would be much smoother.

  Especially since many had heard of the benefits the senior brothers and sisters who went to protect the Xiao Family had received from Xiao Lingchen.

  This drew more and more people to gather around.

  However, not everyone was friendly towards him.

  "So you're Xiao Lingchen?"

  At this moment, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.
