"Phew." Lin Han let out a long sigh, circulating his spiritual force to keep his cultivation technique, before walking towards the Lin Family Village's meeting room.

"I heard father said that someone would give out the reward for the last time the thieves were exterminated. I wonder what the reward would be?" Lin Han muttered to himself as he walked.

Just as he arrived at the door, he saw Lin Fei rushing in from the other side.

"Cousin Lin Fei, you came to claim your reward as well?" Lin Han greeted him. Although he was puzzled by the change in Lin Fei's personality, he still accepted it slowly.

Upon hearing Lin Han's question, Lin Fei paused for a moment before looking at him with a smile.

Afterward, the two of them entered the hall. Seeing San Ye, Lin Yuan and the rest had already entered the hall and were seated. Indeed, there was a young man sitting in the host's seat.

This youth was around sixteen years old, had starry eyes, a sharp face, and an unruly attitude as he casually sat on the seat. Everything seemed extremely casual, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth as a warm and warm feeling appeared in his heart.

"Xiao Han, Xiao Fei, you're here. Come greet this lord!" San Ye looked at the two who entered the room and said with a smile.

"Lin Han (Lin Fei) greets the lord!" Lin Han and Lin Fei cupped their fists together and greeted the young man on the main seat.

Seeing the Lin Han duo below, the young man did not put on any airs and nodded his head, "Since everyone is here, let's give out the rewards this time."

Then, he took out an official plan, "Fire Cloud is clear, Saint Lord Long En, today's Lin Family Village's Lin Yuan, Lin Han, and Lin Fei are participating in the extermination of the bandits to protect the safety of one side.

As the youth spoke to here, he paused for a moment and then took out a storage ring.

"Lin Yuan, one magic item for a longsword, ten Level 3 Qi Boosting Pills for Lin Han, and ten Level 3 Qi Boosting Pills for Lin Fei!" The young man slowly recounted the rewards.

Lin Yuan was obviously very happy when he heard about the magical equipment sword, but when he heard about the rewards, he immediately nodded his head. After all, although they had put in a lot of effort, they were only in the Body Refinement Realm, so their abilities were extremely limited.

"You must be Lin Han!" The young man looked at Lin Han with a slight smile on his face.

Hearing the youth's question, Lin Han was slightly taken aback, "What is it?"

"It's nothing. If you have any problems in the Green Vine Pavilion, you can come find me. My name is Bai Yunfei." The youth said warmly to Lin Han.

Without waiting for Lin Han's reply, Bai Yunfei took out the reward items from his storage ring.

After distributing the rewards from the storage ring, Bai Yunfei exchanged a few pleasantries before leaving the Lin Village.

Looking at the Rank 3 Qi Boosting pill in his hand, Lin Han was delighted. Currently, he had been using the Rank 2 Qi Boosting Pill. He wondered how effective the Rank 3 pills would be.

"Father, your son will go back to cultivate first. Goodbye Third Grandpa," Lin Han said goodbye before leaving the meeting room.

"Don't worry, I won't let you die," said San Ye as he gazed at Lin Han's departing back, a trace of worry could be seen in his eyes. Little Cold's pressure will not be too great. After all, there are still a few months of time. Will it be a bit difficult for him to reach the 9th Body Refinement Layer? "

Lin Yuan's face slightly sank. After pondering for a moment, he smiled. Looking at Lin Han's back, he said softly, "Rest assured!" Third Uncle, Little Han knows his limits. Since he chose this path himself, he will not give up so easily. "

San Ye nodded slightly, and then discussed some village affairs with Lin Yuan.

"..."

After leaving the meeting hall, Lin Han thought about a few things and thought about what he should do next. Ever since he advanced to the 7th Body Refinement Layer, he had been bathing in medicine to increase his strength and how strong he was.

"Since I've already reached the late stage of body refining, I can use many martial skills to display my true strength. It's time to go!" Lin Han muttered to himself for a while before walking towards his room.

For the next few days, he would often adjust his state of mind to its best state. Afterwards, he would find his father and say a few words to him before rushing to the secondary spirit vein he had obtained from Wu Village.

After leaving the village, Lin Han looked in the direction of the Lin and Wu villages.

With a slight increase in speed, Lin Han sprinted towards his destination with all his might. Feeling the blurry image of his surroundings receding, a sense of pressure began to radiate from his heart.

Lin Han's mind was in a state of turmoil, and his feet were moving even faster. However, he could feel that the boredom in his heart had not lessened, hence he immediately stopped and walked towards the side.

Lin Han sat cross-legged on the floor as he observed the circulation of the internal spiritual energy in his body. He realized that nothing had gone awry, but the irritation in his heart did not dissipate at all. Instead, it grew stronger.

At this moment, Lin Han saw the "swan" symbol in his dantian emitting a faint glow. Lin Han was slightly shocked, could it be that there were demons nearby?

Just as Lin Han was deep in his thoughts, a sense of frustration invaded his mind. An intense desire to commit suicide welled up in his heart. Lin Han was so frightened that he felt as if his body was about to commit suicide, as he reached for his neck with both hands.

At this point, the "Supreme Mo" jade pendant on Lin Han's waist began to emit light. Under the light of the jade pendant, that feeling was slowly being suppressed.

The jade pendant slowly detached itself from Lin Han's waist and floated in the air. It then flew towards Lin Han's forehead and lightly stuck onto it, emitting a dazzling light.

At this moment, Lin Han's face was suddenly filled with pain, his brows were knitted tightly together, and his body fell to the side, curled up into a ball, like a shrimp.

"What is that thing? Why is it in my body?" Lin Han suddenly shouted at his own body.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Han's pupils turned blood-red, and even his eyelids looked as if they were made of fresh blood.

"Keke, you still want to run when you're in my hands? With such a good body, I can finally leave this damn seal," Lin Han suddenly said in a hoarse voice, as if he had become a completely different person. Even his tone had changed.

At this point, the 'Supreme Mo' jade on Lin Han's forehead began to glow brightly. 'Lin Han' suddenly let out a painful cry, "How is this possible? This kind of place has this kind of thing? No, no!"

Just as "Lin Han" shouted, the jade pendant gently left Lin Han's forehead. At the same time, a black line appeared behind the pendant, slowly being pulled out from Lin Han's forehead.

At this point, the redness in Lin Han's eyes slowly faded, and they regained their clarity. Lin Han stood up and took deep breaths as he stared at the jade pendant floating in the air, a trace of lingering fear in his eyes.

The light on the jade ornament slowly faded away, and the same black line was slowly devoured by the jade ornament. Finally, the light on the jade ornament vanished, and it fell to the ground as if it had lost its magic.

Lin Han immediately stretched out his hand to catch the jade pendant. Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Lin Han felt an illusion. It was as if the jade pendant had become even more transparent.

Lin Han sat cross-legged on the ground, recovering his energy. Just now, it seemed like a hundred years had passed for Lin Han, he was totally devoid of energy.

Just what was that thing? Why did it appear in my body? And what was this jade pendant? Why was he so frightened?

Lin Han played with the jade pendant in his hands, pondering over the previous question.

After much consideration, he still couldn't come to a conclusion. He retrieved the jade pendant from his hands and disregarded the other party's thoughts as he continued on his way.

Looking at the surroundings, Lin Han did not feel annoyed, but instead felt a tinge of joy. His heart had always been a little depressed recently. He was completely engrossed in his training and did not go out to relax.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Han decided to take a look around and, with this mindset, continued on to the location of the secondary spirit vein.

"..."

Fringe Cloud Country, Fringe Cloud Seven,

It was a dignified building. Two rows of armed soldiers stared at the front with bell-sized eyes. Their bodies would occasionally emit a trace of Spiritual Energy. A passerby quickly left the place. It was obvious that they were extremely afraid of this place.

At the top of this building, there was a gold-plated door plate hanging on top of it. Written on it in large golden letters were the words' Supervisor Manor '.

In the main hall of the Supervisor's Manor, a young man was holding a folding fan. He looked extremely elegant. He wore a white robe, giving him a simple yet elegant look.

At this moment, this youth was looking at the few half-kneeling men in black below as he reported.

"Reporting to the lord, we felt an aura nearby in Fire Cloud Nation, Qingzhou, and Qinghe County. "Because the subordinates have already crossed the border and did not dare to go in any further."

Hearing the black clothed man's report, the youth's waving fan paused for a moment before turning to the black clothed man and saying, "You guys go back and report to the clan leader. I will personally bring the person back."

Saying so, he continued to wave the folding fan in his hand, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he silently looked in a direction.

The few men in black below looked at each other, then slowly disappeared into the room.

For a moment, only the youth and the occasional sound of the fan remained in the room.

At this moment, a puzzled voice sounded out in the empty room, "Don't you know what it means for him to come back?"

The youth was not surprised by the sudden voice. He continued to wave the paper fan in his hand.

"I know, but so what? "He's with me again," the young man casually said to the air in front of him as the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

As he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup beside him, gently lifted the cup lid, and took a sip. Everything seemed extremely elegant and simple.

The air became silent for a moment, and then the voice suddenly sounded again, "Okay, although his return will have some effect, it won't hurt too much. This matter is up to you!"

The young man continued drinking his tea. It was clear that all of this was within his expectations. The room once again fell silent, and this time, it really was silent.

"That's all I can do!" The youth spoke a few words before disappearing from the room.
