Chapter 88: Fellow Countryman Meets Fellow Countryman
Chapter 88: Fellow Countryman Meets Fellow Countryman
"You are Lin Shan?"
"Lin Linfan?"
The two asked each other uncertainly, and just as they had thought, they both had a sense of trance about the impermanence of the world.
After all, the wonderful feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land is rare.
When the old man who was building the foundation of the royal family next to him saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat!
He had a vague feeling that he might not have anything to do tonight. This guy was not only related to Master Zuo, but also had connections with the people of Zixiao Sect.
Lei Yunzi turned around and asked curiously, "Oh? Do you know each other?"
Lin Fan was very excited at this time: "That's right! Senior Brother, the person below is exactly my fellow tribesman in the mortal world!"
After saying that, he immediately jumped down from the purple thundercloud, and came to Lin Shan in two steps. With the excitement of having achieved success and fame after wandering around, and just happened to meet a fellow villager to show off, he pulled Lin Shan up and left.
"Haha, it's rare that our Qinghe County Lin family has two immortal cultivators at once!
Come on, we haven't seen each other for many years, it's time to catch up!"
Lin Shan was confused. We are of the same clan, but our relationship seems ordinary. Besides, you once took the blame for me.
However, this was indeed a good opportunity to get out of the predicament. There was nothing wrong with fellow villagers supporting each other outside, so he jumped behind Lei Yunzi with Lin Fan without resistance.
He didn't know if the purple thundercloud under his feet was a magic weapon or a spell condensed by Lei Yunzi. It felt soft and Lin Shan was afraid that it would conduct electricity. After all, he was killed by lightning in his previous life.
Lei Yunzi, who was standing by, nodded slightly for Lin Fan's sake, and casually instructed the old man in the foundation-building stage of the royal family next to him:
"This person is an old friend of my junior brother. Daoist friend, please give me some face and let this matter end here."
Then, without waiting for the royal foundation-building elder to say anything, he directly urged the purple thundercloud under his feet to fly towards the palace with the three of them.
The old man in the royal foundation-building stage had a faintly ugly expression on his face, his lips trembling as he seemed to want to say something but stopped himself, and in the end he dared not say anything more.
Lei Yunzi's arrogant behavior was really arrogant, but no one on the scene thought there was anything wrong with it. After all, the true disciples of the three top sects were all high-ranking figures. It was up to them to decide who they wanted to protect. The old man who had established his foundation in the royal family could only accept it with a pinch of his nose.
Moreover, because of his reputation as Zuo Zhenren, he was in a difficult situation. Now that Zixiao Sect was forcing itself to step forward, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and pretend to give them face.
All the independent cultivators present secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. Their lives were saved today. This feeling of being helpless was really distressing.
I will never watch again, as it is easy for the spectators to get hurt accidentally.
They immediately scattered in all directions, fearing that the defeated royal elder in the Foundation Establishment Stage would take out his anger on them, and they ran away faster than rabbits.
After three breaths, only seven figures remained on the surrounding rooftops. They were all cultivators from the Song Dynasty's royal family and the royal family. They looked at their own ancestors in the foundation-building stage and dared not breathe too much. Princess Guo was also among them.
The old man in the royal foundation-building stage glanced coldly at everyone, especially Princess Guo, and then he realized that there seemed to be one person missing.
"Where is the kid from Prince Qi's Mansion? Where did he go?"
Several people looked at each other and then looked at Princess Guo. After all, she had the best relationship with the Prince of Qi's Mansion.
But Princess Guo knew that she had caused a big disaster. Not only did she lose the Princess of Dayan, but she also made the royal family's foundation-building ancestor lose face in front of the people of the capital. If she told the prince of Qi about his condition, she would be in big trouble!
Fortunately, there was a young man in the late stage of Qi training from the royal family who was responsible by her side. Seeing that she was trembling and dared not speak, he stood up for her.
"Grandfather, my brother from Prince Qi's Mansion seemed to be seriously ill a few days ago. He came to the palace to invite the imperial physician but couldn't cure him. It is said that he will not live long."
The old man who was building the foundation of the royal family had a gloomy face. He waved his sleeves and led a few people to the Qi Wang Mansion.
……
Coming to the palace for the first time, Lin Shan looked around excitedly to see if there were any three thousand beauties in the harem, or if the imperial concubine was bathing, etc. Lin Fan, who was standing next to him, seemed to know what he was thinking and said unhappily:
"Don't look at it. The important palaces are shielded by prohibitions." At the same time, he gave Lin Shan an expression that said "I've tried it before". Lin Shan had to stop looking around and followed Lei Yunzi to the worship hall deep in the palace.
Afterwards, Lei Yunzi left alone. As a person in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he naturally had nothing to talk about with the two juniors, so it was better to leave the time to them.
Lin Fan took Lin Shan into a side hall, they each found a place to sit down and started reminiscing about the past.
When you meet an old friend in a foreign place, there are naturally endless things to talk about.
Lin Shan briefly talked about how he left the Lin Mansion after he became an adult and went to Zangke County to make a living. He then went to the capital and Yichuan. He omitted important things such as the boss lady of the brothel and the magical book of seven arrows.
Lin Fan, however, seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, and kept on telling about his experiences over the years, which sounded much more exciting than Lin Shan's.
First, he met Lei Zhenzi, a direct descendant of the Zixiao Sect, who was passing by the Lin Mansion. After checking, he found that Lei Zhenzi had two kinds of spiritual roots, gold and thunder, so he took him back to the Zixiao Sect and joined the main lineage of the sect leader.
You should know that Zixiao Sect has dozens of peaks, and each peak is a kind of inheritance, and there are cultivators from one lineage passing it down from generation to generation. It is because of the all-encompassing and concerted efforts of all the sects that Zixiao Sect can be pushed to its current height.
As the main line of Zixiao Sect, the head of the sect has always been selected from the main line, because the main line inherits the sect's treasure book "Purple Qi Heart Sutra". While focusing on thunder magic, the sect's magical powers are also in this treasure book.
Lin Fan's thunder spirit root aptitude was so terrifying that he was immediately selected into the main vein.
Then he stayed in Zixiao Sect to practice for a year and a half, just by breathing in spiritual energy without taking any pills, and he practiced directly from the first level of Qi training to the ninth level of Qi training! This speed was so fast that Lin Shan was jealous.
Afterwards, Lin Fan's elders told him to go down the mountain to experience the secular world, look for opportunities on his own, and then return to the mountain when the time is right to break through the foundation-building stage.
Next, Lin Fan was like a cheat. He went down the mountain and went to the Western Desert first. He dug and found the ruins of an ancient sand city. It turned out to be an ancient Xiuxian market buried deep underground.
Then we passed by Qinling Mountains and found a Buddhist cave, which was filled with the relics of eminent monks.
Then we passed by the Longyou River and found an ancient water palace at the bottom of the river.
Later, while crossing the Yanyun Mountains, he accidentally entered the ruins of a great sect that had been lost in the long river of history.
……
Lin Fan described each and every one of these adventures and chances vividly, and Lin Shan, who was listening beside him, felt as if he were reading a divine book!
"Are you sure this kid isn't bragging? Does having the word 'Fan' in his name mean he can really do whatever he wants?"
Lin Shan instinctively felt that it was a bit outrageous, but when he thought of the "precedent" of Lin Fan falling off a cliff to pick up treasure in the mortal world, he was skeptical for a moment.
After talking for a long time, Lin Fan probably said he was tired, but seeing that his pretense had impressed Lin Shan, he felt relieved.
Lin Shan raised some questions at this time, "When Lei Zhenzi passed by the Lin Mansion, how did he know that you have the two spiritual roots of gold and thunder?"
Lin Fan took out a disc magic weapon and told Linshan that the great sect of immortal cultivation was looking for qualified disciples in the mortal world, so there were naturally special magic weapons for testing. He naturally brought one with him as well, which was the standard equipment for all disciples.
After saying that, he activated it and tested it for Lin Shan.
The disc magic weapon is divided into eight areas, representing the basic five elements (gold, wood, water, fire, and earth) and derived species (wind, thunder, and ice).
The five circles represent the five levels of "innate spiritual roots" (A, B, C, D) and "acquired spiritual roots".
It flickered for a while, and the third circles of the two areas lit up with cyan and purple light respectively. Lin Fan nodded.
"Not bad, medium aptitude, wind spirit root C, thunder spirit root.
It is also Grade C.”
Lin Shan looked at the disc in surprise. I actually have thunder spiritual roots?
