He was actually reborn a hundred years later!

Even though he had a firm will and even felt that something unbelievable like rebirth had happened to him, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this news.

The time of a hundred years had actually passed in an instant. This was probably something that would shock the world only in the cultivation world. No one would have thought that it would happen to him!

After recovering from the shock, Lin Cheng furrowed his brows, a hint of worry could be seen in his heart.

A hundred years was simply too long!

Based on this, it had already been over a hundred years since he had discovered the azure flame. Now that a hundred years had passed, the azure flame … Would it still be there?

"Blue flames are fire that has no roots in heaven and earth. They can already move within a small area. Now that a hundred years have passed, would the blue flames have moved elsewhere?"

"There's also Zuo Mu, Princess Anya and the rest …"

Lin Cheng secretly clenched his fists. When he was forced to perish together with Zuo Mu and the rest, the blue fire exploded. Lin Tao and the other alchemists probably wouldn't be able to survive, but Zuo Mu and Princess Anya might not!

Lin City knew Zuo Mu's power too well, especially after half a year of rapid growth. He understood even more clearly the terrifying power of Zuo Mu, who was already a master at the peak of the Arterial Circulation Realm and had even stepped into the Danhai Realm!

The Azure Fire in the Lin City was only a small part of it. Even if it was detonated, Zuo Mu might cause more damage. However, it would be extremely difficult to kill him.

Zuo Mu could very well be alive!

Then, how terrifying would Zuo Mu's strength increase after a hundred years?

"If Zuo Mu didn't die, the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead would have fallen into his hands. With the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead, he would definitely be able to advance to the Danhai Realm and become a cultivator …" "By now, he has probably been cultivating for a hundred years!"

Lin Cheng gritted his teeth, as a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Lin City could not even imagine how strong a cultivator who had cultivated for a hundred years would be!

Then there was Princess Anya. Lin City remembered that she had a treasured sword from the cultivation world at that time. Princess Anya had personally said that it was a Dharma treasure, and it might even be a flying sword!

With a magic treasure protecting her, Princess Anya definitely wouldn't die!

She was already an Arterial Circulation Realm expert, but she was a princess of the Sky Wu Country. Although the country was only a middle-level kingdom, it was not difficult to find enough pills to help her advance into the Pill Sea Realm.

This meant that there were at least two cultivators who had cultivated for more than a hundred years in Lin City, and they were enemies!

"Two cultivators who have cultivated for over a hundred years!"

Such a powerful enemy was enough to send chills down one's spine.

Lin City also could not help but waver, but very soon, he steeled his heart, "No matter how strong they are, I must take revenge. Dozens of years of hard work will turn into nothing. Zuo Mu and Anya, their crimes are unforgivable!"

"I found the Blue Flames. Without sufficient elixirs, I will not be able to catch up to Zuo Mu and Anya. So, I must find the Blue Flames!"

"I am an apothecary myself, and in terms of cultivation resources, I have an advantage over them. Thus, I will definitely catch up to them and surpass them!"

"Zuo Mu, Anya, I will definitely come and find you!"

"I won't let you wait too long!"

Lin City remained silent throughout the journey.

He had been carefully recalling his previous life when he found the Azure Flame and successfully collected a wisp of it. Even if it was an extremely small detail, it could still be of great help to him.

Jing Feiyang, on the other hand, intentionally or unintentionally talked to Zhu Zifu. However, her response was very indifferent, causing him to be disappointed, but also somewhat unwilling to give up.

In the end, Zhu Ziyang and Lin City rode side by side, intentionally pulling a distance away from Jing Feiyang, allowing Yi Qing to walk between the two of them. Jing Feiyang wanted to talk to Zhu Ziquan, but he was interrupted by Yi Qing, who could only look away helplessly.

At sunset, the group arrived at Yongan city.

Lin City and Zhu Ziyang politely declined the invitation and settled down at an inn in the city.

At this moment, because the people who had registered for the Eastern Region Academy had already swarmed into Yongan City, the inns and rooms within the city were extremely tense. Lin City had to pay twice the price before they could stay.

Seeing this, Jing Feiyang and the others could only leave. They only agreed to wait for them at the entrance of the East Continent Academy the next day.

The next morning.

After the two from the Lin Clan finished packing, they departed for the Eastern Region Academy.

The Eastroad Academy was about ten Li away from Yongan City. It wasn't until they got closer that the two of them realized just how big the Eastroad Academy was.

Just the entrance to the academy was not much smaller than the city gate of Yongan city. When they looked at the endless limestone wall, the two of them were flabbergasted. The scale alone was probably not much smaller than Yongan city.

No wonder the East Continent Academy had the title of Dongzhou Ming Zhu!

"Junior Sister Zhu!"

Jing Feiyang and the others were already waiting at the entrance. Jian Yi Qing, Le Xuan Nian and Mu Nanxing were also there. However, when they saw Zhu Ziquan, who was clad in fiery red leather armour and riding on his horse like a fairy in flames, the expression on his face became somewhat ugly.

Lin City was secretly vigilant. He felt the need to remind Zhu Ziquan that he should be careful of any schemes and tricks. In this place where the strong preyed on the weak, it was really too easy to kill a person in secret.

"The examination is about to begin. Junior Sister Zhu, I will lead the way." Jing Feiyang smiled and said, "I know a few of the teachers who are in charge of today's assessment, so I can give you priority in your tests."

"Senior Jing is too polite. We can go by ourselves, so there's no need to trouble you." Lin Cheng clasped his hands and said.

"Junior-apprentice Brother Lin, just what are you talking about? Meeting is fate. This is just a simple matter, how can it be considered troublesome!" Jing Feiyang waved his hand and unquestionably led them to the testing site.

As the group entered the East Continent Academy, they soon saw an empty space in the distance. It was densely packed with people, mostly young, but there were some Pulse Wheel Realm experts, or servants of some young man, or people who brought their children to participate in the assessment.

"I'll take you guys over there to take part in the exam in advance." Jing Feiyang said.

"No need."

Before Lin Cheng could say anything, Bamboo Pea said, "Thank you for your kind intentions, Senior Jing. However, we still plan to queue up to take the test in order. After all, even if we participate in the test in advance, it will be of no use!"

Jing Feiyang was speechless. Even if he wanted to get close to Zhu Zifu, if his aptitude was poor, he wouldn't be able to get Zhu Ziyang to join the East Continent Academy.

Helpless, Jing Feiyang's group of four could only accompany Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziyang.

"Humph!"

The expression on her face was ugly as she said, "How ungrateful for your kindness!"

Her voice wasn't low, obviously she wanted to let Zhu Ziqian hear it. However, Zhu Ziqian just didn't comment, as if he didn't hear it. It made her expression even uglier.

After a full two hours, it was Lin City and Zhu Ziyang's turn to take the test, but this time, Zhu Zifu was slightly hesitant.

"Don't worry, your aptitude shouldn't be a problem!" Lin Cheng smiled as he comforted her, "If you're afraid, why don't I go first?"

"I'll do it!"

Zhu Zi bit her lips before walking up to Zhang Xuan and the other party's Soul Stone.

Lin Cheng noticed that the stone was about half the height of a person, and its entire body was a greyish white. He examined it closely, but couldn't find anything out of the ordinary about it.

At this moment, Bamboo Forcing had already placed her hand on the testing stone as per the instructions of the teacher in charge of the assessment.

"Circulate the Mysterious Technique and pour the absorbed Yuan Qi directly into the Spirit Stone!" The teacher's voice sounded.

Bamboo Shoot slightly nodded and started to circulate his mystical arts.

Lin Cheng immediately noticed the change in the testing spirit stones. The originally greyish white testing spirit stones had actually turned slightly white at this moment, and there was even a hint of luster to be seen.

"Humph!"

Qing Shu disdainfully said, "It looks like it's only white. It doesn't even have a color. This spiritual energy compatibility is pitifully poor!"

However, just as she finished speaking, the faint white light on the testing stone suddenly became denser, and the center was mixed with a faint red light. Before anyone could react, the light suddenly turned dark and turned bright red.

"Girl, use your full strength in the mystical arts!" Lin Cheng shouted.

"Shut up!"

The examination teacher's face darkened as he glared at Lin Cheng.

The bamboo stick had already heard Lin Cheng's words and immediately started to operate his mystical skill. Following that, the red light suddenly became denser, and the color changed again.

Orange!

Yellow!

Blue!

Seeing the thick blue light, the exam teacher's eyes immediately lit up, his expression becoming excited, "It's actually a deep blue color, just a step away from becoming purple …" Genius! This is definitely a genius! "

Jing Feiyang and the others were also very surprised. They looked at Zhu Ziquan, who was operating her Xuan Qi with all her might, in astonishment. They never thought that Zhu Ziquan would have such an outstanding affinity with Lingqi, which meant that the moment Zhu Ziquan broke into the Danhai Realm, she would be a talented cultivator.

This was because they knew that in the long history of the East Continent Academy, peak-level geniuses with purple spiritual energy affinity could be counted with two hands. And each one of them would become a powerhouse in the world of cultivation in the future.

A genius with a blue affinity for spiritual energy might be a lot more, but it was definitely not a talent that just anyone would have!

Jing Feiyang remembered that when he was taking the exam, among the tens of thousands of people, there were only two students with blue affinity. One of them was light blue, but those two had already entered the Immortal Dao Sect.

Right now, Takeuchi Mikiko's spiritual energy affinity was even greater than that of that genius. It was a deep blue. If there were no surprises, then Takeuchi Mikiko's achievements in the future would definitely be limitless!

Jing Feiyang's eyes burned even more as he looked at the bamboo stick.

Compared to the surprise and astonishment of Jing Feiyang and the others, the expression on her face was much uglier. A hint of jealousy and hatred flashed across her eyes as she gritted her teeth, "No matter how talented you are, if you died early, you would only be a pile of dirt!"
