Chapter 53 You don’t want to be devoured by insects, do you?

Chapter 53 You don’t want to be devoured by insects, do you?
Without giving Tian Lin a chance to speak, Shisan Niang took the box from the maid.

As usual, she wrote down Tian Lin's hometown, date of birth and parents' information in a booklet, and finally took out three booklets for Tian Lin.

These three booklets, one is "The Five Elements Foundation Building Method" and the other is "General Techniques".

As for the last one, it was the "Yaoyang Finger" technique that Tian Lin obtained from Elder Liu by spending an inferior spirit stone.

After Tian Lin collected the three manuals, Shisan Niang stood up and took out a fire spirit stone from her purse.

She smiled and said, "Since ancient times, it has been a great joy for mortals to enter the Qi Refining stage. You have just entered the Qi Refining stage and are in need of Spiritual Stones. We girls don't have anything good to give you, but fortunately, I still have some Spiritual Stones left over from all these years. I will give them to you today."

Tian Lin hurriedly said, "Spiritual stones are not ordinary things. How can I afford to accept them? Shisan Niang might as well leave the spiritual stones to Master Shang."

Tian Lin's relationship with Young Master Shang was somewhat awkward, so he was unsure of Shisan Niang's attitude towards him, and therefore took the initiative to "throw" Young Master Shang out.

But Shisan Niang's smile did not diminish, and she said with a smile: "Your brother Shang was injured a few years ago, and now he only has brute strength left; now he hangs around Sanlang all day long, so he has no use for this Fire Spirit Stone."

After she finished speaking, she placed the Fire Spirit Stone on the table and left without waiting for Tian Lin to refuse.

Tian Lin looked at her back with doubt. He had only seen Young Master Shang take action once.

That time, because he killed Xiaoyue, he was so angry that he injured himself with a palm.

At that time, I couldn't even beat Han Li. If Young Master Shang really attacked me in anger, how could I withstand his blow?
So logically speaking, it is possible that Master Shang really only has 'brute force' left.

But is this really the case?

Tian Lin walked out of the house and squinted his eyes at Shisan Niang's departing figure.

She walked gracefully, like a willow swaying in the wind, attracting the silent attention of the men panning for sand by the river.

Everyone's thoughts seemed to follow the sound of the bells on her neck and disappear into the bushes on the hillside.

"The sound of this bell is very similar to the bell of the dog in the mine."

Tian Lin returned to the house and opened the "General Book of Magic" while eating.

The so-called universal spells only record some common sense of cultivation and some minor spells such as "fire-starting spells" and "dust-repelling spells".

After Tian Lin finished his meal, he read the book roughly.

He put the general magic aside and was not in a hurry to look through the "Yaoyang Finger". Instead, he sat cross-legged and meditated while holding the "antidote".

By the time he opened up the second acupuncture point, the sun was setting in the afternoon. Zhao Si was standing outside the house, holding a lunch box, and had obviously been waiting for a long time.

When he saw Tian Lin opening the door, he hurriedly said flatteringly: "Master Tian, ​​the food in the lunch box is still hot. When do you think you will eat?"

Tian Lin took out a dime from his purse and put it into Zhao Si's hand with a smile. Without waiting for Zhao Si to refuse, Tian Lin said, "You have run several times for my meal, right?"

Zhao Si said hurriedly, "They are just small things. I don't have anything to do anyway. I just waited at the door. When I thought the food was getting cold, I went to the kitchen to ask them to heat it up - it's not worth it."

Tian Lin took the lunch box and asked him, "Has anyone come to see me today?"

Zhao Si hurriedly said, "I heard that the second steward's servant had inquired about you, Master Tian. The rest, just people from the middle of the mountain, asked when you would move to Jiranju."

"I live very comfortably here and am in no hurry to move out."

"Master Tian is going out? Do you want me to accompany you?"

"That's not necessary. I'll go to the kitchen and get another bowl of Guitouyan, and then go to Daoshan to practice."

After saying this, Tian Lin left, leaving Zhao Si alone, deep in thought.

After Tian Lin asked for two more plates of Guitouyan from the kitchen, the Taoist bell of Daodao Mountain rang again.

He was now wearing a Taoist robe, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was an outer sect disciple. All the people busy with work in the various mountains respectfully made way for him. But when Tian Lin went to the Dao Mountain, he found that the gate of the Dao Mountain was almost crowded with menial disciples.

The errand disciples were all carrying food boxes and chattering in a crowd.

As soon as Tian Lin appeared, all the disciples stood by respectfully, watching enviously as Tian Lin carried the food box up the immortal ladder.

After Tian Lin disappeared, the errand disciples dared to whisper to each other: "See, that is Tian Xianshi from Lianshui Peak. He is young, but now he has become an outer sect disciple."

"It's a pity that I really believed other people's lies and thought that ascending the ladder to become an outer disciple was just a pipe dream, so I wasted more than ten years. Otherwise, I would have become an outer disciple now."

While they were whispering, Tian Lin had already reached the ninety-fifth stone step.

There were only two errand disciples whom Tian Lin had never seen before at the ninety-five stone steps, and the other two were Old Man Gou and Mrs. Zhu.

Old Man Gou smiled at Tian Lin, and Tian Lin nodded to Old Man Gou, Mrs. Zhu and Bai Ye.

He went up to the first stone platform, thought for a moment and turned to Bai Ye and said, "In the last level of the illusion, we have to deal with a Qi cultivator who calls himself 'Master Zhou'."

Old Man Gou and Bai Ye had actually heard this before, so even Mrs. Zhu was not surprised.

Only the two new errand disciples had changed expressions.

Tian Lin said to Bai Ye again: "If you want to deal with Master Zhou, brute force will not work unless you have some magic weapon."

As soon as Tian Lin finished speaking, Old Man Gou at the foot of the stairs couldn't help but plead, "Master Tian, ​​do you have any magic weapon that you can lend to me?"

Tian Lin glanced at Old Man Gou and said with a smile, "How precious is a magic weapon? I am not an inner sect disciple, so how could the sect give me a magic weapon?"

He didn't want to stay here any longer, so he carried his lunch box to the table on the platform.

He didn't have the courage to walk up the first stone steps yet. He came here just to have some peace and quiet for the rest of the time, to avoid the second or third manager sending people to the mining yard to harass him.

You know, he now has eleven low-grade spirit stones in his hand.

Although these eleven low-grade spirit stones could not allow him to directly absorb spiritual energy from them due to their terms.

But to others, these eleven lower-grade spirit stones are genuine goods and their value is not discounted in the slightest.

Thus, for the next half month, Tian Lin did not go down the mountain to ask questions except to go to the kitchen to find food such as grass god fish and three-legged toad.

He refused to go down the mountain, but finally someone could not sit still anymore and came up to the mountain.

At this time, it was dark and deserted. Master Shang put the felt on Tian Lin's lunch box on the ground, sat down opposite Tian Lin, and said with a sneer, "The second and third stewards are looking for you like crazy, but you can sit still."

For half a month, Tian Lin treated one day almost as two days.

At this point, as long as he opened one more acupoint, he would be able to become a Qi Refining First Level cultivator.

In addition, he had not only been meditating and practicing for the past half month, but also eating "ghost-headed swallows" to practice the Yaoyang Finger.

With his Yaoyang Finger at a minor level of success, plus the true energy in the twenty-one acupuncture points, how could an ordinary warrior be his opponent?
Thinking of what Shisan Niang said about Young Master Shang having lost his cultivation and only having brute force left, Tian Lin looked at Young Master Shang with an eager look.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think that by becoming an outer disciple, you can be out of my control?"

Master Shang smiled and said, "Don't forget, the antidote for your Heartache Gu for next month is still in my hands. You don't want to be eaten to death by thousands of insects, do you?"

 The editor told me that we have enough catch-up reading now, and the results are also gratifying. But we need to keep steady until Wednesday. That means that in the next four days, with the help of everyone, I will be able to go to Sanjiang (Is it too early to say this now? I don’t think I will be slapped in the face)

  Therefore, I beg the big guys to help me get through this disaster and help me build my foundation!

  I will update more frequently when the time comes to repay you all.
