《The One and Only》17. One should Leave after Finishing the Task, Kill One Person with One Step
Advertisement
Of the ten levels of Martial Practice, the first three levels were to cultivate one's skins, bones and meridians, the middle three were to cultivate one's flesh, blood, and all internal organs, the latter three were to get through one's acupoints, refine one's bones and change one's marrow, and finally to reach the tenth level.
The Body Refining Elixir was of great importance to the former four levels.
An outer disciple from the four sects like Qingyun Sect of Skywater Kingdom could only get one a month.
It was really valuable. Non-sect disciples could barely get one even if they had money.
Last time when Chen Xiao lost three Body Refining Elixirs, he nearly broke down.
Now the five Body Refining Elixirs in Lin Yun's hand was nearly half a year's salary of an outer disciple.
When in Henyun Mountains, he already had had an adventure last time.
He happened to meet the abnormal phenomenon the Fairy Spirit brought, in which he absorbed the spiritual energy from heaven and earth and directly reached the fourth level.
It also laid a solid foundation for this fourth level. And recently he had been fighting the evil beasts. Such kind of experience was beyond any other's imagination.
His cultivation was improving fast these days. With another few days, he'd break through the fourth level.
But now he had to make breakthrough ahead of time.
There was a slice chance for a practitioner at the fourth level to face two practitioners of the sixth level. Although they couldn't compare with the inner sect disciples, they were two levels higher. Lin Yun wouldn't take rash actions.
So he had to make it a sure thing.
Sitting cross-legged, Lin Yun took one Body Refining Elixir without any hesitation.
The enormous efficacy of the Body Refining Elixir was immediately absorbed.
His four limbs, all internal organs and the muscles were all absorbing it greedily.
His whole body was like on warm fire, very comfortable.
He could clearly feel that his mortal body was getting strengthened little by little.
The Body Refining Liquid really couldn't compare with it at all.
But it was still not enough.
If it was at this pace, he still needed two days' time to reach the fifth level.
With two days, those two men from Yun Family had already gone away with his Blood Lily.
After making up his mind, Lin Yun swallowed the rest four Body Refining Elixirs.

Boom!
The strong efficacy gathered inside his body and exploded inside his body in an instant after they emerged.
The horrible efficacy, like the roaring sea, was crazily impacting his mortal body. The warm body now became totally red. He felt like he was being roasted on a stove.
Wisps of smoke were rising on Lin Yun's head. It seemed things were not going well.
But since Lin Yun dared to do so, he should have his own reason.
Pure Yang martial arts!
Exactly! Administrator Yang thought it was too strong and needed time to cultivate, which didn't adapt to Lin Yun.
But now it became his life-saving prescription.
Five Body-refining Elixirs together, the efficacy was like the unruly wild horse that no other martial art could tame.
But for the strong and imposing Pure Yang martial arts, it was perfectly matched.
As expected,
once the Pure Yang martial art was operated, Lin felt quite excited. And the inner power of all kinds of martial arts had its own personality. Some liked going superficial, some liked being gentle, while some preferred wild horse-like dominance.
And Pure Yang martial art was the most outstanding among all of them.
When dominant efficacy met dominant Pure Yang martial arts, it generated dramatic chemical reaction.
Lin Yun's burning red skin became softer and softer. And his mortal body was also transforming.
His original second level Pure Yang martial art was improving fast. And his cultivation had reached an unprecedented speed.
Boom!
Six hours later, two booming sounds were heard from inside Lin Yun's body one after another.
With the two booming sounds overlapped, Lin Yun felt that his momentum improved rapidly.
At this moment his level and cultivation both reached another level.
When his Pure Yang martial arts reached the third level, his cultivation also reached the fifth level of Martial Practice.
Lin Yun opened his eyes and stood up.
He noticed his original thin and weak body had become much stronger.
The outside change was only superficial. The bigger change lied inside.
His mortal body had been renewed after having been refined by the five Body Refining Elixirs.
The biggest surprise was that he had reached the third level of his Pure Yang martial arts. And his inner power also reached a new level, more imposing and dominant.
The Flower Burial Sword which needed great inner power to use

now was as swift as a feather in his hand.
His delicate and charming face hadn't changed a lot, but only his dark and pure eyes showed a little more confidence.
"Six hours have passed. They should have gone."
Lin Yun murmured, looking far into the distance.
At the entrance of the Flower Valley.
The two strong men from Yun Family looked quite excited which could be told through the joys and excitement on their faces.
"This kills it! We're rich this time. And we accomplish the task the young master's appointed so easily."
"Haha, the resources we exchange with this Bloody Flame Snake would support our cultivation for some time."
"An evil beast is an evil beast. It's really not easy to kill the Bloody Flame Beast. If our cultivation weren't a level higher that it, it would be really hard to say who would win. Didn't that brat from Qingyun Sect feel ashamed to say that he found it first?"
"Fortunately he is smart enough, otherwise we'll kill him together. As a sect disciple, he should have a Body-refining Elixir. Now I really regret having let him go. What a shame!"
The two men were talking and laughing, to their hearts' content.
Whoosh!
At the very moment, a shadow jumped out from aside, without making any sound.
The two men from Yun Family were really frightened and immediately stopped talking.
Of course it was Lin Yun who found them through the sound they made.
After finding it was Lin Yun, the two men immediately felt relaxed, and began to laugh.
"Who is taking the Blood Lily?"
Lin Yun wore no expression on his delicate face, holding the sword in his hand.
While he was speaking, his palm was already against the hilt, ready to use his Flowing Wind Swordplay.
Looking at the emotionless and calm Lin Yun, the two men didn't notice anything unusual.
"What do you want? The Blood Lily is in my fucking hand! What? You wanna grab it from me?"
Judging from Lin Yun's calmness, the man in black on the left thought Lin wouldn't give up, so he sneered, "Don't think you are really something since you are a sect disciple. This is outer suburbs. No one would know even if we kill you."
Swords Rotating to Make Winds!
Before that man finished his words, Lin Yun already lifted his sword and jumped onto him.
With the sword unsheathed, the Flower Burial Sword was like shooting water. With the sword rotating like crazy in his palm, the poised Flowing Wind Swordplay reached its peak at this moment.
As the sword in his hand reached its peak, Lin pricked at the man talking immediately!
Whoosh!
With no time to react, the man in back on the left got stabbed right into the heart.
Bang!
With blood splashing out of his chest, the man in black died on spot, and his body was thrown over a hundred meters away.
Lin Yun now had reached the fifth level of Martial Practice, the power of his move Swords Rotating to Make Winds also doubled at least. With him launching the attack first at such a short distance, even a man of sixth level wouldn't have a chance to survive.
Everything happened in a flash, giving no one any time to react.
The man on the right was dumbfounded. He screamed and ran away without any hesitation.
And this saved his life.
If he had been a few seconds late, the next who was gonna die should be him.
"What a pity!"
Lin Yun sighed that a man of sixth level ran away from him. If he wanted to chase him, it'd be a waste of time. How he wished he could have Lightness Skill.
Let it go, as long as he got what he wanted.
Lin moved forward and found the box with the Blood Lily on the chest of the man in black.
Also he searched out all the parts of the Bloody Flame Snake.
"So strange? Why is there no blood line?"
Those valuable parts like the gall and fangs were there, only that blood line missing.
Maybe it was on the other man's body. Never mind.
Lin Yun didn't think too much, since he had succeeded collecting ten Bloody Flame Lilies and accomplished one of the spiritual stone tasks.
The next spiritual stone task was to kill the robber Kuang Yan.
After putting away his sword, Lin Yun disappeared in the Flower Valley which was gradually being covered by darkness.
One should leave after finishing the task. Kill one person with one step.

The Elder of Mediocrity
In a world of cultivators, psykers, mages, witches, conspiracies and a Cold War, everything is extraordinary. Well, most everything. Oz “Da Shan” Elderweiss is just your average guy in a not average world. He’s not that strong, he’s not that weak — and he’s not getting any better. Da Shan discovers that you’re never too old to have your own coming of age saga. Filled with a burning desire for revenge, but the inability to carry it out, he hatches an insane scheme to change his potential and achieve exponential growth. But his enemies are quite literally the members of his own household and his close friends. He must fight tooth and nail for what he believes in and for the freedom to carve his own path. Join him as he battles people with both the best and worst intentions, with his life on the line. Current Word Count: 136 000, First arc complete. A lot of new content has been added to the early chapters since the end of May. The first chapters are still under construction and editing, but all the major changes are done. I was a webnovel junkie for a long time, but I found it hard to find novels with solid characters, decent plot, philosophical underpinnings and a fully painted world to keep me going. I've taken from every genre I've liked to make a story that satisfies my own cravings for a good story. If you like the story or have suggestions please leave a comment or review. I hope this novel is fun, provocative but above all fun. Enjoy. Yours truly, James Paul Addington PS I will release at least two chapters a week, or one really long chapter. Concerning the tags: The story is primarily Fantasy with Wuxia influence in some elements. Romance won't happen for the first two arcs or so (roughly 40 chapters), I want to build the world before I do that. Tragedy is because of an event that occurs in the book, not the tone of the book. The book is more lighthearted. Slice of Life doesn't occur till the third arc (the romance happens during that arc as well). Magic will also show up more in later arcs, but appears throughout. Reincarnation it's not a reincarnation like in the traditional sense, but it has a similar concept.
