Chapter 23: Green's Hair Strand

  The light in front of him recovered, and Xia Lin only then discovered that everyone was staring at him. He suddenly felt embarrassed and asked, "What's wrong?"

  Sun Zhong looked at Xia Lin excitedly and asked: "Young Master, have you broken through again?"

  Xia Lin smiled slightly, feeling the situation of the blood vessels in his body being unblocked, and had already broken through 81%, the power from the blood vessels was also getting stronger and stronger, and in terms of pure strength alone, it was enough to rival the eighth level of Body Tempering!

  "En, not bad." Xia Lin nodded.

  A burst of cheers around, Xia Lin's strength also means that the team's overall strength has risen again.

  Xia Lin smiled and glanced at them, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. "What's there to be happy about me breaking through? You guys broke through too, didn't you? Look, some people even broke through two levels at once, now that's something worth celebrating."

  The numerous fake disciples of the mountains were all speechless, how can this be the same?

  Everyone's rapid progress is because their strength was originally too weak. Moreover, many disciples have accumulated enough, and after working hard for so long, they just need to take the final step.

  So the tempered body is threefold, and breaking through to the fourfold tempered body, what a wonderful surprise.

  As for those few guys who upgraded two levels in a row, it was because they had accumulated enough thickness, and another point is that they were really too low, so they went from forging body second level to forging body fourth level!

  But what about Xia Lin?

  Sevenfold Training!

  It is said that Second Young Master Xia Cheng, under the spiritual grass bought by his father at a high price, used more than a month to climb from Body Tempering Seventh Layer to Body Tempering Ninth Layer.

  However, Xia Lin went from Forging Body Seventh Stage to Eighth Stage in just three days!

  Even more so, he used the lowest grade of spiritual grass, which was negligible for a seven-layered tempered physique. This is enough to prove that Xia Lin's talent must be above Xia Cheng's, and how can they not be excited.

  "Alright." Xia Lin smiled and said, "My strength increasing isn't anything special. What's most important is that everyone has increased their strength together. Let's all get up and take a look around us. Does anyone feel like our team has risen to a whole new level?"

  Everyone stood up and looked at each other for a moment, then looked around before feeling surprised.

  I didn't expect their improvement to be so significant.

  One by one, they didn't seem impressive, but when they were all put together, it was shocking. Before this, the team was basically a mix of second- and third-tier players, with only a small number of fourth-tier players, and even fewer fifth-tier players or above, with Sun Zhong being the only one, which was quite pitiful.

  However, with the help of a large amount of Lingcao to assist in cultivation, the overall strength of this team has risen sharply. The weakest have all reached Body Tempering Fourth Level, and are also the most numerous in the team.

  One-tenth of the people actually rushed to the fifth-order physique boundary, and although there were only a handful of ten people, it was enough. These ten people undoubtedly became the backbone of this team!

  As for Sun Zhong, he still occupies the peak state of the sixth layer of Body Tempering, although he has not yet broken through, but his overall momentum is greatly different from before.

  The entire team's strength has increased countless times, and in just three short days, everyone's strength has been turned upside down. And all of this was brought to them by Xia Lin.

  Thinking of this, all the fake disciples of the mountains are grateful.

  "Master, you've used up all the remaining spiritual grass." Sun Zhong said with a bitter smile, "In just three days, you've broken through to the eighth level of Body Tempering. I'm still at the sixth level... even if I use it, it would be a waste."

  Xia Lin broke through to the eighth layer of Quenching Body because of the rapid consumption of Po Tian Jue, his absorption of spiritual grass was several times faster than Sun Zhong's, so he naturally broke through.

  "Yes, yes, young master. I've just broken through to the fourth stage of Body Tempering myself. Let's leave it for you instead. Perhaps you'll be able to charge all the way up to the ninth stage of Body Tempering."

  "That's right, young master, I haven't improved much either."

  The disciples of the mountain stronghold all said that it was obvious that they also thought it best to leave it to Xia Lin, which made Xia Lin feel warm in his heart. No matter how cold and disappointed they were at first, after being subdued by him, these disciples unconsciously considered themselves, this feeling is quite good.

  However, even his mountain stronghold disciples consider him, as their leader, he naturally has to consider them.

  "No need, you can absorb them slowly on the way." Xia Lin smiled calmly and said to them: "I have the strongest power, so I absorb the fastest, but now that I've reached the eighth level of Body Tempering, these most basic spiritual herbs are useless. Even if I absorb all of them, there won't be much progress."

  "Oh, I see." Sun Zhong felt somewhat disappointed.

  Xia Lin looked at them with an unpleasant expression and said: "You guys, do you really think that breaking through the Nine Layers of Refining is as easy as cutting a piece of white radish? You say break through, then just break through!"

  "Heh heh." Sun Zhong rubbed his head, "Even Xia Cheng has broken through, you naturally won't have any problems either."

  The crowd burst into laughter for a few moments, and then suddenly realized that it had only been a few days. Unbeknownst to them, in their hearts, the status of the young master had already surpassed that of Xia Sheng, the former number one genius.

  "Young master, water." Greenie handed over a cup of water and placed it in his hand.

  Summer arrived, just in time to quench his thirst. He took a small sip and then put it down, saying lightly: "The remaining spiritual grass is less than a horse carriage now, everyone should take some and put it on their body, and cultivate it when they have time. As for now, let's rest for a few days too. With our current great increase in strength, it's time for us to show off our prowess."

  At this point, Xia Lin picked up the envelope in his hand. There was a crimson logo on it, pointing directly to a location three hundred miles east of Linjiang City.

  Walking up to the top of the hill, looking at the road under his feet, Xia Lin pointed east and said, "In this direction, 300 miles away, set off!"

  "Yes!"

  Everyone should respond with high morale and set out.

  "Sun Zhong." Xia Lin turned his head and glanced at Sun Zhong beside him.

  "Present." Sun Zhong stepped forward to receive orders.

  "Things on this road, I'll leave to you for now. With your current strength and the overall strength of the mountain stronghold disciples, ordinary merchant groups can be easily taken down. If it's not necessary, don't need to tell me."

  "Yes, young master." Sun Zhong nodded.

  After Xia Lin finished giving orders, he and Lü'er got on the horse-drawn carriage, which was now driven by a different person. Sun Zhong had already ridden ahead to the front of the team to scout out the situation.

  Having arrived inside the horse carriage, Xia Lin finally let out a breath of relief, stretched his waist and in front of the mountain stronghold disciples, he needed to always put on airs, after a long time, it was also quite tiring.

  "Hmph!"

  Lu'er looked at his appearance and couldn't help but burst out laughing. The young master was completely different when he was alone compared to when he was in front of others. However, she quickly regained her composure, her small face stiffening again, as if the person who had just laughed wasn't her.

  "Alright, you little scamp, daring to tease even Master Xiao. Xia Lin pretended to be annoyed and reached out his hand to ruffle her hair, soon Green's neat hair was messed up again."

  Young Master

  Lu'er's small face wrinkled, her little hand lifted up and pushed Xia Lin's hand away, looking at the already disheveled hair with a somewhat regretful expression.

  Her hair was disheveled and she looked very untidy. Green hurriedly tried to tie up her hair, but there was no copper mirror here, nor any place where she could see herself. She tied it for half a day, but the more she fiddled with it, the more disheveled it became.

  Xia Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud at what she saw.

  Lu'er shot him a white eye, "It's all Young Master's fault, disgusting."

  Xia Lin shook her head and sat down beside her, taking her small hand away and then smoothing out her hair, smiling as she said, "Come on, I'll help you with it."

  "No way." Green hurriedly waved her hand and said somewhat flusteredly, "There's no way a young master would comb a servant girl's hair, no way."

  Although she grew up with Xia Lin, no matter how close their relationship was, she knew that the young master was after all a young master, and it wasn't right to let him do some menial tasks. Although when they were younger, the young master would occasionally make some astonishing moves, but nothing as absurd as this time.

  "Sit properly." Xia Lin's eyebrows furrowed as he spoke sternly.

  Lu'er's struggling body suddenly stopped moving and sat there obediently.

  Xia Lin nodded in satisfaction, smoothing out Lu'er's hair strand by strand, then began to slowly tie them up.

  It's not like in the past, the girls' hair is tied up very complicatedly, which is also the reason why Lü'er herself couldn't do it after a while, and Xia Lin wasn't very good at it either. However, when his hand touched Lü'er's hair, he subconsciously thought of a hairstyle that left a deep impression on him.

  Lu'er sat there, not daring to move, but her heart was somewhat uncontrollable. This should be the last time. Otherwise, she really feared that she would think of things she shouldn't. In the future, Young Master will get married, and his partner must also be a powerful family's daughter. It won't be her, a little maid who can't cultivate and can only serve Young Master. So, in the future, she couldn't let Young Master behave so recklessly... Although she was moved to tears.

  After a while, Xia Lin finally finished, and looked at the beautiful hair tied behind Lu'er's head, no longer the previous maid's headdress, looking like a noble lady, with a stunning beauty that was breathtaking.

  "It's very beautiful." Xia Lin praised.

  It turns out that hairstyles can really change a person, Xia Linru thought that if she changed the coarse linen clothes of Lu'er, she would be much stronger than those so-called thousand gold misses.

  Just then, looking at Lu'er, Xia Lin seemed to have thought of something and stood there in a daze.

  "Really?" Green's small face turned red and asked with some shyness.

  It was just when she turned back, however, that she saw Xia Lin staring at her intently, as if thinking about something.

  "Master?" Green looked at Xia Lin with some confusion, her small hand waving in front of his eyes. "Master, what's wrong with you?"

  Xia Lin slowly regained his composure and looked at Lü Er with a smile, "Nothing... it's just that I suddenly felt as if..."

  "Like?"

  "Me? Who does he look like?"

  "It's just like her." Xia Lin said with a hint of melancholy.
