Super Fusion

Chapter 25: Precious Spiritual Energy

Having made up his mind to quickly improve his strength, Xu Yu didn't return to his rented apartment. Instead, he quickly left the urban village and found a cheap hotel in another part of Linzhou before resuming his fusion.

After all, he wasn't stupid. Even with the fusion ability and the protection of the modified jade pendants, he wasn't afraid of a sneak attack.

But if the opponent came while he was in a deep sleep after fusion, the situation would be dire. So, he naturally wouldn't foolishly stay in his exposed rented apartment.

However, as Xu Yu immersed himself in fusion again, his face showed obvious hidden anger.

Since being framed by Li Duo and forced to leave his home, he had sworn in his heart to stand up upright as soon as possible. He never expected that only a few days later, he would be forced to leave another home again. That feeling truly infuriated him.

"No matter who those people are, once I improve my strength, I'll make sure they can't leave!"

Perhaps even he himself didn't realize that after the last incident, his mind had already begun to sharpen silently.

Like a drawn sword, anyone who tries to break it must be prepared to be wounded instead.

A couple of hours later.

A silver BMW sped along the wide road to the East District and stopped in front of a nine-story building.

Inside, two young men sat in the front, Yu Ze and Gu Changyi, while in the back sat a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, dressed in well-fitting casual clothes.

"You mean that person lives here?" As the car stopped, the man in the back glanced out the window with a hint of excitement before speaking.

This man was none other than Lin Dongjie, the fourth young master of the Lin family.

When Lin Dongjie first received Gu Changyi's call, he was still somewhat angry. Given the Lin family's current status, for someone to forcibly seize another's possessions was a disgrace they couldn't bear to let word get out. However, along the way

, listening to Gu Changyi's confident assurances that the person truly wouldn't sell the precious jade, and that its value was indeed considerable, his anger subsided, and he gradually became excited.

The true members of the Lin family disdained to forcibly seize ordinary things, as they couldn't afford the shame. But if something was too precious, that was a different story.

In this era, for some martial arts practitioners, few things could be more precious than high-quality spiritual energy.

The most important foundation for cultivation was spiritual energy!

Modern society also possesses spiritual energy, though it is shockingly scarce and only appears at midnight each day. Without this meager energy, even reaching the peak of the early stages of cultivation would be difficult for cultivators.

Spiritual energy is not only the foundation for improving cultivation but also the source of power for breaking through bottlenecks and advancing to new realms.

When a cultivator reaches a limit, the most effective way to break through is to utilize a much richer and more abundant supply of spiritual energy than usual.

However, even a powerful family like the Lin family has no one who knows how to gather and collect more abundant spiritual energy; perhaps only legendary immortals and gods can achieve this.

Therefore, while there are still many cultivators in modern society, the vast majority are stuck at a certain bottleneck, unable to break through further.

Among these people were Lin Dongjie, his father Lin Zhongzhi, and many others like him…

For Lin Dongjie in his normal life, this cultivation level was simply a bottleneck. After all, in modern society, even with a high level of cultivation, what difference was there between breaking through to the mid-stage of Body Refinement and the early stage? It was far less practical than worldly power.

But for a late-stage Body Refinement expert, the significance of high-quality spiritual energy was absolutely extraordinary.

Because once a cultivator broke through from the late-stage Body Refinement to the next realm, the Spiritual Movement Stage, they could gain over fifty years of lifespan!

This was the irresistible temptation for everyone, and it was precisely for this reason that the Lin family had been collecting various kinds of beautiful jade.

The old man of the Lin family had already reached the late-stage Body Refinement and was nearly ninety years old. If they could find a precious jade containing top-grade spiritual energy for the old man, the significance would be immense!

So immense that even Lin Dongjie couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

He believed that as long as he could handle this matter well, he would have the brightest future in the Lin family.

This was the fundamental reason for his excitement.

Even if that person was a master, he could just take it! Once he had the item, who in Linzhou would dare to say no to him?

"Yes, Fourth Young Master, I'll go take a look right away." Following Lin Dongjie's words, Yu Ze, in the driver's seat, immediately nodded in response.

This time, after seeing Lin Dongjie, he didn't explain the details of their fight. After all, given Gu Changyi's precedent, he knew that even if he explained, the other party wouldn't believe him.

So he only emphasized that the other party might have cultivated some powerful hard qigong, possessing extremely strong resistance to blows.

After nodding, Yu Ze excitedly got out of the car and rushed upstairs.

But only a short while later, he quickly came downstairs, his face showing a hint of annoyance, "Fourth Young Master, he's not here. He might have escaped."

"Hmm?" These words immediately darkened Lin Dongjie's face, who had been in a heated argument in the car.

He had come prepared to steal the jade, and had been excited about it for quite some time, already imagining the bright future after obtaining it. How could it have turned out like this?

"Yu Ze, you stay here and keep watch. If he shows up again, call me." Almost suffocating from the contrast between his previous and current behavior, Lin Dongjie was stunned for a long time before barely suppressing his rage and speaking out the car window.

"Yes." Yu Ze could clearly sense the other's fury and nodded hastily.

Inside the car, Gu Changyi in the front seat also sensed something was wrong and hurriedly started the engine.

Come to think of it, that guy was actually scared away by them. If he really didn't reappear, Lin Dongjie might take his anger out on him.

Even now, he felt like crying. He was the one who reported the jade's whereabouts, but after getting Lin Dongjie angry, the target disappeared. Wasn't that just asking for trouble?

"Fourth Young Master, should we send someone to investigate?" Fearing Lin Dongjie's anger, Gu Changyi cautiously turned around and asked while driving.

Unexpectedly, his words immediately enraged Lin Dongjie. "Investigate? Linzhou is so big. Unless I use the entire family's resources to investigate, we won't get any results. But if that happens, will I still have a chance to get this jade? Let's wait a few days and see if he has really disappeared or is just temporarily away."

If the other party truly left intentionally, then to investigate, in this vast provincial capital, he would need to mobilize the entire Lin family's resources. But by then, the existence of that beautiful jade would certainly not be hidden from the rest of the family.

How could he be willing to let others share such a good opportunity?

"Yes, yes." With a furious shout, a bead of cold sweat immediately appeared on Gu Changyi's face, and he hurriedly turned his head to concentrate on driving.
