Chapter 10

• In a short time,
• All the information about the Vast Spirit Residence was meticulously uncovered.
• "Vast Spirit Residence."
• "The owner is Piko, a Soul Refining Realm alchemist."
• "Valerie is Piko's disciple, and her qualifications are quite impressive."
• "Well, that's it? Valerie has a heroine template, so I'm afraid there's more to her origin than that, or it could be that Piko has a hidden background."
• "Also, not long ago, the Vast Spirit Residence was a pharmacy selling medicinal pills and elixirs, but the supply of raw materials for these items was cut off because it refused the Lim Clan's marriage proposal, forcing it to become an inn."
• "Ow, this is suspicious... This Lim Clan is definitely a target for Tim to show off. Defying all odds and emerging victorious against all expectations!"
• "By overthrowing the Lim Clan, Valerie will undoubtedly develop a favorable impression of Tim!"
• "Maybe... The Lim Clan will soon send someone to help him gain practical experience."
• "Moreover, the Vast Spirit Residence used to be a pharmacy selling medicinal pills and elixirs, which will probably be useful to Tim!"
• "Perhaps he just regained his cultivation with the help of the Vast Spirit Residence? Returning to the path of cultivation? Or maybe it played an extremely crucial role in his cultivation journey as well?"
• "..."
• Tim raised his eyebrows, a thoughtful glint appearing in his eyes.
• Soon after,
• He sent a message to Bowen Marshal with his transmission jade token, asking him to send someone to covertly monitor the Lim Clan.
• In addition,
• Numerous secret sentries were also arranged around the Vast Spirit Residence to keep an eye on everyone coming and going from the establishment.
• The Bowen Clan was extremely efficient and energetic, and it didn't take long for the arrangements to be completed.
• A large area around the Vast Spirit Residence was filled with what appeared to be ordinary pedestrians, diners... and other secret sentries disguising their identities.
• They had also all been given orders never to make a move, let alone reveal their true identity, even if it meant death!
• "Now everything is ready, all that's missing is a perfect plan."
• Elder Bowen thought to himself, "Valerie, this woman is very clever, how should I approach her..."
• Time passed bit by bit.
• Evening.
• Tim came out of his room and headed to the inn's hall to eat.
• Because there weren't many guests at the Vast Spirit Residence inn, the lobby was cold and cheerless, and it was also completely deserted outside.
• Little did he know,
• As soon as he had appeared, he had fallen into Elder Bowen's field of view.
• The Soul Refining Realm already had a preliminary divine sense, but it was very weak, only capable of observing a few meters or ten meters around him.
• Therefore, Elder Bowen could see him, but he couldn't see Bowen.
• "Elemental Movement Realm!"
• "This guy actually recovered to Elemental Movement overnight? And still to the Late-stage?"
• "It looks like his dantian should have recovered, and I wonder what kind of opportunity he's come across."
• Bowen looked at Tim in the inn, a light flickering in his eyes.
• In an instant,
• With a thought, he unfolded his Villain's Eye.
• [Name: Tim
• Realm: Late-stage Elemental Movement (Middle-stage Soul Refining)
• Status: Protagonist
• Heavenly Fate Value: 5380/5380]
• The simple and clear information appeared before Bowen's eyes, but it brought him immense joy.
• "5380 points of Heavenly Fate Value."
• "Counting the previous deductions, Tim's total Heavenly Fate Value should be a little less than six thousand."
• "Also, the right number is the current Heavenly Fate Value, and the left number is the Heavenly Fate Value upper limit; wounding Tim can temporarily lower the Heavenly Fate Value, but cannot lower the upper limit."
• "The decapitation line is determined by the Heavenly Fate Value upper limit."
• "..."
• Bowen looked at Tim's information and silently pondered in his mind.
• Soon after,
• He observed Piko with the Villain's Eye again.
• [Name: Piko
• Realm: Soul Refining Middle-stage
• Status: Supporting character
• Fate Value: 323]
• "Only 323 points of Fate Value?"
• "It seems that this Piko is a supporting character of little significance."
• Bowen raised an eyebrow and said mockingly, "I guess in the original plot, she was one of those who would soon be killed off..."
• In the inn.
• "Young man, come here for a moment."
• Suddenly, Tim heard someone seemingly calling out to him.
• When he looked toward the voice, it was a gentle-faced, silver-haired old woman, none other than Piko.
• "You're calling for me?"
• Tim looked stunned and pointed at himself.
• "There's no one else around, who would I be calling if it wasn't you?"
• Poki shook her head with a smile and turned to walk into a room.
• "That is also true!"
• "I wonder what the elder is calling me for?"
• Tim nodded and spoke as he followed.
• As a former Soul Refining Realm cultivator, he knew that the other party was also a Soul Refining cultivator, and at the peak of the Late-stage!
• "You sit down first."
• Piko smiled and sat down at the table, "This is Valerie, my disciple. You've met her before."
• It was Valerie, sitting on the other side of the table, whom she introduced.
• "Yes, we've met."
• Tim smiled faintly and took a seat at the table.
• Valerie nodded with a smile on her face. She was of the lively and kind-natured type and behaved like that with the vast majority of people.
• "Give me your hand."
• Piko said to Tim.
• Tim promptly raised his hand and placed it in front of Piko, having likely already guessed why she was doing this.
• If it were anyone else, he would definitely not have agreed and might have even started to consider escaping.
• But since Valerie was around...
• Tim glanced at Valerie from the corner of his eye, who had a crystal-clear face and eyes like stars, and his heart was slightly stirred.
• Now that he was no longer the wretched outcast, having obtained the Burning World Red Lotus and changed his fate, he had grown much more confident as a result.
• At that moment.
• "What Valerie said is indeed correct; it is indeed a Medicinal Spirit Body!"
• "A diamond in the rough, a fine diamond in the rough has actually appeared before me. This is great!"
• Poki grasped Tim's hand and sensed his unique spiritual aura from within, her face showing excitement.
• "What? I'm a Medicinal Spirit Body!?"
• Tim asked, feigning surprise.
• "Of course!"
• "I would never be wrong about this kind of aura."
• "Young man, you actually don't know that you are a Medicinal Spirit Body? Have you not been aware of the abnormality in your physique?"
• Piko asked curiously, "You... where did your master come from, and how did you cultivate to the Elemental Movement Realm?"
• The Medicinal Spirit Body was a treasure.
• Any power that obtained one would hide and cultivate it carefully.
• It was quite peculiar that someone like Tim, who had grown up and cultivated to the Elemental Movement Realm, didn't even know about his own physique.
• In the courtyard nearby.
• "Oh?"
• "Medicinal Spirit Body?"
• "This fellow, Tim, has become a Medicinal Spirit Body?"
• "I was right in my previous guess; this inn, which was once a pharmacy, plays a significant role in his growth journey."
• "That Valerie is an alchemist; she'll probably take him as a disciple, pass on the mantle, and promise her only beautiful disciple to him. Wow, this routine is so obvious!"
• Bowen couldn't help but complain in his mind as he observed Tim and the other two people with his divine sense.
• Inside the inn.
• "Oh?"
• "You really don't know?"
• "You're not lying to me and Master, are you?"
• Valerie asked with a wry glint in her eyes and a suspicious look on her face.
• "I truly don't know."
• Tim shook his head with a solemn expression, "To be honest, I was once an inner disciple of the Starry Abyss Sect..."
• "What! A disciple of the Starry Abyss Sect?"
• Poki and Valerie were stunned in unison when they heard this.
• The Starry Abyss Sect was a hegemon on the Mysterious Truth Continent, and the inner disciples within it were of noble status and did not show themselves easily.
• Now, a disciple of the Starry Abyss Sect had actually appeared in front of them.
• "Was once... means?"
• Valerie's expression changed as she asked, "You left the sect?"
• Upon hearing this remark,
• Poki's old face became even more delighted.
• If the other party was a disciple of the Starry Abyss Sect, it would be almost impossible to poach him.
• But now that Tim was no longer a disciple of the Starry Abyss Sect, it would be much easier to do so.
• At this point.
