Time slowly passed. After the master and disciple finished their discussion,
Long Xiaoyao did not stay long in the room. Instead, he left the room to Wang Lin, giving Wang Lin enough space to thoroughly examine his body's condition.
Inside the room, Wang Lin looked at his right hand. He activated the soul bone. Pieces of golden dragon scales covered his hand, and his right hand instantly transformed into a radiant golden dragon claw.
He grabbed the wooden headboard, without even exerting force.
Crack!
The sound of wood breaking rang out. Wang Lin lightly clenched his hand, and the wood instantly turned to powder.
This increase in power was too terrifying.
Moreover, after the Golden Dragon bloodline integrated, his original right arm bone seemed to have gained an extra soul skill. Wang Lin immediately controlled his soul power to surge into his right arm.
A radiant golden light appeared, circulating on the dragon claw. An invisible thermal current immediately spread throughout his entire body. Wang Lin felt the circulation of his qi and blood essence.
Even the power of the right side of his body was enhanced. A feeling of swelling pain spread throughout his body, yet Wang Lin's face was filled with excitement.
Because he could feel that after activating this soul skill of the right arm bone, it was not just the power aspect; speed, attack, and defense capabilities all saw a significant improvement.
And even...
Ignoring the feeling of swelling pain, Wang Lin used the dragon claw to slash his left arm, immediately opening a wound about three centimeters long.
Scarlet muscle was exposed to the air, but not a drop of blood flowed out.
The wound, just freshly cut, had already begun to heal. Wang Lin channeled the surging qi and blood essence within his body and suddenly realized that he now seemed to be able to precisely control his muscle groups.
Thinking this,
Wang Lin stared at his right hand. The scarlet muscle in the wound twisted, and the three-centimeter-long wound sealed up under muscle control.
The qi and blood essence, controlled by Wang Lin, surged into his left hand. Visibly, the sealed wound on his left arm began to heal rapidly.
In less than half a ke (about 7.5 minutes),
Wang Lin's left arm was as good as new. He looked at his smooth left arm. The craving in his body became increasingly unbearable.
"So hungry!"
The stomach, which had just been filled, now felt a sense of starvation. Wang Lin understood what the consumption of qi and blood essence meant.
He withdrew the effect of the soul bone. Wang Lin's right arm reverted to its original state. He immediately went out and asked the hotel staff to prepare some food.
The room Long Xiaoyao booked was the top suite of the Holy Spirit Hotel, and the staff would certainly fulfill this request.
When the hotel staff brought the food again,
Wang Lin ate while summoning Attribute Panel.
A crude blue square box instantly appeared in his field of vision.
Name: Wang Lin
Martial Soul: Brain (Mutated)
Cultivation: Level 40 (Level 44 [23%])
Spiritual Power: Level 45 [56%])

It must be said that it was worthy of the Golden Dragon bloodline. Both cultivation and spiritual power increased by one level. Clearly, Wang Lin's suffering was not in vain.
The key point was the Golden Dragon Blood Right Arm Bone added to the Soul Bone section. As Elder Yi had said, it turned into a soul bone-like existence.
It also brought Wang Lin a soul skill.
The gains from this trip were truly immense. He really needed to go back and thoroughly consolidate his achievements.
With this trip's gains, Wang Lin would not have to worry about his cultivation resources for the next ten years.
How did the saying go? Small wealth comes from effort, great wealth is bestowed by heaven.
He, Wang Lin, could now be called Wang Hang (Wang the Cheat). The more he thought about his gains, the more excited Wang Lin became, feeling the thrill of obtaining a full set of ultimate equipment right after starting a game.
At this moment, an untimely ancient voice interrupted Wang Lin's excitement.
"Little Linzi, if you smile any wider, your teeth will fall out."
Wang Lin snapped out of it and looked at Electrolux, who had returned at some point, noticing the hint of helplessness on Elder Yi's face.
"What is it, Elder Yi?"
"Nothing much. It's just that this city isn't clean either," Electrolux said, shaking his head.
"Evil Soul Masters, right!"
Wang Lin was not surprised by this. Given the cooperation between the Sun Moon Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult, Wang Lin would not be surprised if Evil Soul Masters appeared in any city.
Previously, in Mingdu, when Electrolux went out for a stroll, he encountered several Evil Soul Master strongholds.
"Correct. And it's very close, right beneath this hotel." Electrolux nodded.
"Right beneath here?"
Wang Lin frowned. He suddenly remembered that the name of this grand hotel was Sunset Water Hotel, which must be an industry of the Sunset Water Alliance (Xīshuǐ Méng).
The name 'Sunset Water' clearly came from Ye Xishui's name. The Sunset Water Alliance was naturally a subordinate organization of the Holy Spirit Cult, so it was perfectly normal for there to be Evil Soul Masters here.
"Yes."
Electrolux nodded. Wang Lin's face showed a look of contemplation.
Wang Lin no longer needed to worry about cultivation resources. 160 million coins plus the Eye of Ice and Fire were enough for Wang Lin's cultivation.
So he had to consider issues outside of cultivation, such as the Holy Spirit Cult.
Although Long Xiaoyao had been trying to shield him from the affairs of the Holy Spirit Cult for the past year, and he himself didn't want contact with Evil Soul Masters.
But as the disciple of Long Xiaoyao, the Great Enshrined of the Holy Spirit Cult's Enshrined Hall, the Holy Spirit Cult was an issue he couldn't escape. It was time to start dealing with certain matters.
Wang Lin's view on Evil Soul Masters was simple: no matter how tragic their past experiences, it was not a reason to commit evil.
Of course, Wang Lin's definition of "committing evil" did not include seeking revenge. Returning kindness for kindness and taking revenge for enmity was the most fundamental human concept.
"Want to go take a look, Little Linzi?" Electrolux asked, smiling as he looked at Wang Lin.
"Yes! When it gets dark."
Wang Lin snapped out of his thoughts and said in a deep voice.
...
Night quietly descended upon this medium-sized city. Inside the room, spiritual fluctuations enveloped Wang Lin, gradually transforming him into a completely ordinary appearance.
Looking at his dark-skinned reflection in the mirror, Wang Lin nodded in satisfaction and put on a set of black robes.
He climbed directly out of the room's window. Wrapped in spiritual fluctuations, his aura contained, he quietly landed on the ground of Rising Sun City.
It was already close to midnight.
There were not many people on the streets. Wang Lin had scoped out the street before jumping down, so no one saw him.
Wang Lin confirmed his direction and walked straight toward the end of the street, taking a detour to the small alley behind the Sunset Water Hotel.
The dim yellow light illuminated the filthy small alley.
From a distance, Wang Lin saw at the alley entrance, a "pot-bellied"... uh... madam!?
The madam was short but extremely fat, wearing a dark purple dress. Highlighted by a patch of deep green on the dress, the madam looked like a round eggplant.
