"In short, if you want to enter the inner gate, you can't neglect your practice."

Elder Liu looked at the second and third stewards and said meaningfully:
"If you really can't bear to practice hard, then leave the Yaoyue Sect and find an isolated island where no one is, and live out the rest of your life there."

After he finished speaking, he left the second and third stewards who were somewhat confused, turned around and pulled Shisan Niang away.

"What does Grandfather mean by this? In his eyes, even though we have accumulated a lot of experience in the Yaoyue Sect over the years, we are still no match for the evildoers of the Blood Sect?"

The third steward was confused, but the second steward beside him got angry with Tian Lin and said:
"Still eating, still eating, how come you haven't eaten yourself to death? This clam pearl was brought back by my eldest brother as a gift to my grandfather, and you're the only one who ate the most."

After hearing the second steward getting angry, Tian Lin put down his chopsticks and glanced at the last two clam pearls on the plate with a pout.

"Why did our Lianshui Peak recruit such an outer disciple? He's like a starving ghost. When I reach the fifth level of Qi Refining, I will teach you what the rules are."

The second steward flicked his sleeves with a graceful movement. His large cuffs scooped up the table and the two clam pearls on the plate were rolled away by his sleeves.

Tian Lin glanced at the back of the second manager at the entrance of the temple. He stood up, bowed to the third manager without saying a word, then turned and left the temple.

At this time, the little Taoist child came over. She glanced at the empty plate, then at the third steward who was still concentrating on thinking, and shouted:
"You are already a grown-up, but you don't know shame. How come you ate up the last dish of clam pearls?"

The third steward came to his senses and was so angry that he laughed at the little Taoist boy.

He picked up the fan on the table and nodded at the Taoist boy: "When the Yaoyue Sect is gone, I'll see if you can still be so arrogant. Haha, I'm going to withdraw too."

When the third steward left the Taoist temple, the people of Tianlin had already reached the foot of Lianshui Peak.

It was already night time and all the mountains were dark except for the dim candlelight in the peaks.

Tian Lin found a spacious place by the river. As he heard him coughing and vomiting, nine more clam pearls appeared on his scarf.

He wrapped nine spirit clam beads, consumed four of them, and finally raised the Wind Walking Technique to the great perfection realm.

However, it is not so easy to break through the Dragon Elephant Magic Skill. This is probably because Tian Lin has been practicing the Dragon Elephant Magic Skill for a shorter time than the Wind Walking Skill, and he usually takes more "Wind Chasing Pills" than "Dragon Elephant Body Refining Pills".

He consumed five spirit clam beads before he was able to make a breakthrough in the Dragon Elephant Magic.

Before this, Tian Lin had planned to eat the Grass God Fish to practice the Wind Walking Technique to perfection before considering climbing the fourth and fifth stone steps.

But he did not expect that Elder Liu would call him to the Taoist temple and let him earn nine spiritual clam pearls for nothing.

Now that both the Wind Walking Technique and the Dragon Elephant Magic Skill have reached the realm of great perfection, Tian Lin does not plan to wait any longer.

He used the wind-walking technique and disappeared along the river bank like a ghost.

At this time, the Taoist bell rang, and the menial disciples from each peak began to get busy.

Several people in the kitchen only felt a white shadow passing in front of them. They rubbed their eyes and when they looked again, there was no trace of Tian Lin.

They all thought they were dazzled, so they continued chatting among themselves:

"I don't know whether this news is true or not. Is our Yaoyue Sect really willing to teach magic?"

"Didn't you see how happy Miss Han was? This must be a real thing. You can exchange spells with your merit points.

The spells are fine, but Miss Han has been thinking about Master Zhong of Jianfeng. I guess she wants to earn merit points to ask the elders of the sect to treat Master Zhong's hysteria."

"Tell me, can we earn some credit?"

After the errand disciple asked the question, he suddenly saw a white shadow flash before his eyes.

He rubbed his eyes again, but still didn't see any human figure.

"Are you crazy? The Blood Cult's demons are so cruel, what can you use to fight them? I'm afraid that even if someone stands in front of you, you won't know his identity. And I heard that the Blood Cult's demons prefer masters like us to those who use mortals to refine blood pills. So, don't be so wishful thinking."

They chatted among themselves and completely forgot about "White Shadow".

The white shadows that flashed by twice were undoubtedly Tian Lin.

He passed by Baihua Peak and reached Wendao Mountain in less than a quarter of an hour.

But after reaching the Wendao Mountain, his face did not look so good.

The Wind-Moving Technique at the Great Accomplishment Realm is indeed "as fast as a ghost", so much so that ordinary people cannot see his movements with the naked eye.

However, performing the Wind-Moving Technique at the Great Perfection level consumes a great deal of true energy.

Tian Lin is at the fifth level of Qi Refining. If he uses Wind Walking Technique with all his strength for more than a quarter of an hour, he will start to feel that his true energy is insufficient.

Now, when facing those at the twelfth level of Qi Refining who only have cultivation but no advanced magic, he has the ability to protect himself and even fight back.

However, his low level of cultivation and lack of true energy were his fatal weaknesses.

If he cannot win the battle quickly, his opponent will be able to rely on his skills to overwhelm him.

Unfortunately, the sect has now changed the bounty from 'Spirit Stones' to 'Merit Points'. If Tian Lin wants to earn Spirit Stones again, he has to rely on the 'Illusion'.

He climbed the first flight of stone steps, and when he reached the first platform he was not in a hurry to climb the mountain. Instead, he sat cross-legged and meditated to restore his energy.

When he opened his eyes again, Han Yue was just coming down the mountain.

Han Yue was still wearing the green dress. She stood on the first platform, glanced at Tian Lin, thought for a moment and said:

"I'm sure you also know about the sect's new decree?"

Tian Lin said, "Miss Han wants to kill the demon Taoist in exchange for merit points to treat Senior Brother Zhong?"

When Tian Lin said this, Han Yue knew that Tian Lin was already aware of the change in the imperial edict.

She nodded and said:
"Wendao Peak is too difficult to climb. I am only at level 80 now, and I don't see any hope of reaching the top. Now the sect has given out merit points, and I have asked the peak master about it. As long as the merit points are enough, the sect will help me seek medical treatment from Wenxin Sect."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Tian Lin and said:

"If you want to enter the inner sect, you don't have to climb the mountain anymore. According to my master, the sect may soon 'open the ban' again, and outer disciples can become inner disciples based on their merit points."

"How many merit points does that give me?" Tian Lin asked:

"The sect can't afford to support so many inner disciples. Even if they are inner disciples, the sect has to let a group of them leave the sect every ten years. So in order to reduce the number of disciples in the sect, the merit points required to become an inner disciple must be set very high."

Han Yue did not comment on this. Her desire to become an inner disciple was not as strong as others, and she did not climb the Dao Mountain to become an inner disciple.

Instead, he wanted to report the second scene he saw on the platform to the sect, and use this contribution in exchange for the opportunity to cure Zhong Wuji's hysteria.

But Mount Wenda was difficult to climb. Now she had a better choice, so of course she didn't need to climb Mount Wenda anymore.

"I'm going down the mountain this time, and I won't come back again. Here is a 'travel journal' left by Senior Brother Zhong. It contains the people and events he encountered in his fantasy while climbing the mountain."

Tian Lin looked at the notebook she handed over and took it solemnly.

He bowed to Han Yue, but Han Yue didn't wait for him to say anything to thank him and interrupted him directly:
"You don't have to thank me. You are the only one climbing the mountain now. I also want to know what is on the second-level platform, which is enough to make Senior Brother Zhong suffer from hysteria. If you can successfully climb to the second-level platform one day, please tell me the secret of the platform."

Tian Lin heard this and immediately promised: "Don't worry, Senior Sister, as long as I can get on the platform, I will tell you everything I know."

He looked at Han Yue going down the mountain and felt really lonely.

Now that all the climbers have left, this Wendao Mountain has become completely deserted.

That’s not right. Han Li is gone, Bai Ye is gone, Zhu Dasao left the sect, and Han Yue went down the mountain.

But there was one person who would not leave, he just didn't come because he had to work during the day.

But old man Gou already has white beard. How long can he stay with me in the Daodao Mountain?
Ultimately, you still have to climb the mountain by yourself, even if you are alone.

He calmed himself down and started reading the "travel notes" left by Zhong Wuji.

Although this travel notebook is clean, the sides of the pages seem to be torn from being flipped.

There is not much content in it, and the records are very vague.

"Sure enough, once someone enters the illusion, they will be attacked by the characters in the illusion, so no one stays in the illusion for more than a quarter of an hour."

Tian Lin took a quick glance and focused on the description of the fourth picture.

According to the description on the fourth picture, after entering the fourth stone step, you will meet a young man holding a skeleton sword.

The young man had a higher status than the men in the valley. His cultivation level was at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and he had a minor mid-level magic spell.

In addition, on the back of the fourth one there is a picture of a person drawn by Zhong Wuji with a brush.

Tian Lin recognized at a glance that the so-called man was Manager Qiao, but the young man holding the skull sword was someone Tian Lin had never met in the illusion.

"This young man is probably Hall Master Jiao."

"Master Jiao came from outside, so he must have brought spiritual stones with him."

A smile appeared on Tian Lin's lips. He put the book into the gauze scarf, entered the first and second stone steps and killed Manager Qiao directly, and finally stepped onto the third stone step.

"Tomorrow is the day when Hall Master Jiao will come. It is rare that you can break through and become a Qi Refiner."

A voice sounded, Tian Lin looked at the red-robed monk in front of him, and saw the red-robed monk handing him a robe and said:

"Here, these are your clothes. Come with me tomorrow to welcome Master Jiao."

Tian Lin took the clothes, but his eyes were looking at the magic circle on the stone platform in the cave.

I saw that the magic circle was covered with carvings, and these carvings would light up with flames from time to time.

The flames illuminated the entire dark secret room red, and above the flames was a large cauldron.

The big cauldron is in the shape of an elixir furnace, and fragrance constantly emanates from the elixir furnace.

"This is?"

"They are refining blood pills. The people who came with you have not become Qi Refiners in half a year. We don't plan to keep them in vain any longer."

The red-robed monk looked at Tian Lin and said with a half-smile:
"So I said you are lucky. If you hadn't successfully broken through this morning, you would have made another blood pill in the furnace to entertain Master Jiao."

At this moment, there was a "bang" sound, and the engraved stone platform finally stopped spewing flames.

Also, because the flames on the stone platform disappeared, the secret room was illuminated entirely by the eight oil lamps on the four stone walls, so the light became much dimmer.

Tian Lin tilted his head to look at the red-robed monk, and saw that the red-robed monk's eyes in the dark room were particularly expectant.

He jumped onto the stone platform, stepped on a stone on the platform, and endured the heat to open the lid of the cauldron-like tripod.

Red mist gushed out of the cauldron. The red-robed monk held the lid of the cauldron with one hand and took out a bowl with the other hand to shine it into the inside of the cauldron.

I saw that there was an inscription on the bottom of his porcelain bowl that emitted golden light. The golden light shone into the interior of the giant cauldron. In an instant, several pills were sucked from the cauldron into the bowl by the golden light.

With a bang, the red-robed monk closed the lid of the tripod.

He looked at the nine red pills in the bowl, touched one with a round surface and put it in his pocket, then touched another one with a cracked surface and handed it to Tian Lin.

"This isn't a pill for mortals. It's made from low-quality blood pills that have been nurtured for a year. It's also a blood pill from the Grandmaster level. Would you like to try it?"

[Ginseng fruit can increase lifespan by thirty years at a time. When it reaches a hundred years, it loses its effect and can be eaten.]

After looking at the entry, Tian Lin did not refuse the kindness of the red-robed monk. He stuffed the blood pill into his pocket, but had no intention of eating it.

"I often heard that the Cangzhou Immortal Sect pursued our Blood Sect relentlessly, so that my disciples could only hide in caves and practice hard without daring to see anyone. So is there any way to prevent people from knowing that we are practicing blood qi when we perform our skills?"

Tian Lin followed the red-robed monk out of the secret room and asked the red-robed monk behind his back.

"What's so difficult about this method? In the world of cultivation, there is a magic called 'Illusion of the Five Elements', which is a magic that is specifically used to conceal one's true Qi."

The red-robed monk said, “Many people who cultivate water true qi and earth true qi practice this illusion of the five elements technique in order to scare others, making people mistakenly believe that they are geniuses with five elements spiritual roots.”

Tian Lin was fine with the first sentence, but he was shocked by the second sentence.

He was a little bit unbelievable: "Five Elements Spiritual Roots is a genius?"
