Chapter 113 The Secret of Room A

"What kind of snakes are these?"

Tian Lin casually grabbed a snake from the water, but felt its smooth scales were a little slippery and he couldn't let go.

He ignored the snake as it wrapped around his wrists and even bit him hard under the armpit.

At this time, Tian Lin protected his crotch with one hand and used the other hand to create a flame as he looked at the snakes entwined and curled on the water surface and the top of the cave.

[Fire dragon, its meat can be used for body training and is edible]

[Water-avoiding insect, a medicine to assist in practicing the "Water-avoiding Art", edible]

Prompt words appeared one after another, and Tian Lin allowed his body to be attacked by these poisonous snakes.

These attacks did not cause any harm to Tian Lin, but instead made him feel comfortable.

"It would be fine if the elders from the Questioning Heart Sect came to Room A, but why did Elder Liu also come to Room A?"

Although in the secret room, Tian Lin did not feel desperate or afraid. Instead, he was distracted and thought about the line of words engraved outside Room A.

"That Seventh Elder said that the water room is where the disciples of the Questioning Heart Sect train. Could this A-type room also be a place for training?"

"The disciples of the Questioning Heart Sect gain benefits through training, so what benefits can the A-room gain? Why did Elder Liu travel thousands of miles to come here and suffer the pain of being bitten by hundreds of snakes?"

Tian Lin was thinking about it, but he heard a voice outside the house saying, "Junior Brother Tian, how are you now?"

Tian Lin was stunned for a moment, touched the heavy stone door, and said with all his might:
"Is it Brother Zhou? Although I feel uncomfortable now, I can still bear it. I wonder why Brother Zhou wants to talk to me, and how are my fellow brothers and sisters?"

Zhou Shichou's voice came through the stone wall into the stone chamber:
"I have already arranged for several of my fellow apprentice brothers to stay in my residence, and the fellow apprentice brothers in the sect did not make things difficult for them - but you, my fellow apprentice brother -

Junior Brother, if you can admit your mistake and beg for mercy from the Seventh Elder, I think the Seventh Elder will definitely let you out."

After hearing his words, most of Tian Lin's worries disappeared.

If he could survive by begging for mercy and admitting his mistakes, it would only prove that the Wenxin Sect did not want to kill him.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I have done nothing wrong, so why should I admit my mistakes? The elders of the Wenxin Sect are all my predecessors. Since I have done nothing wrong, they will not kill me. Why should I beg for mercy?"

Outside the stone wall, Zhou Shichou's voice began to stutter: "Tian, Junior Brother Tian, you are too straightforward - Sigh, please bear with it for a while, I will go and beg my aunt."

After a long time, there was no more sound from Zhou Shichou outside the stone wall, and the stone chamber became dead silent again.

Tian Lin frowned slightly, clenched his fists, and the snake on his arm instantly wrapped around his neck and struggled hard.

Tian Lin relaxed his muscles again, and the snake was able to pull its fangs out of his arm.

"It's really weird, could it be that the benefit of this A-grade room is to train the body?"

Tian Lin found that his muscles were tighter, and even without using the Dragon Elephant Magic Skill, his body was much stronger.

"No, it's because of the words that these venoms have the effect of strengthening my body. But the elders of the Wenxin Sect and Elder Liu are definitely not afraid of these poisons."

"Not only are they afraid of these poisons, they also use their internal energy to drive out the poisons in this water. But this place is airtight and there is no spiritual energy. Sooner or later, their internal energy will be exhausted. At that time, if they don't leave Room A, they will die."

"Why would they risk their lives to lock themselves up in this A-type room?"

"The elders of the Questioning Heart Sect can be said to be training themselves, but Elder Liu will definitely not be so bored."

Tian Lin's heart suddenly moved. He moved his body and continued to grope on the stone wall.

Soon, he squatted down and buried his whole body in the water, and finally felt a line of words engraved on the wall in the water:

"If Liu Xuanfeng dies here, it will have nothing to do with the brothers of the Inquiry of the Heart. It is my wishful thinking that I want to practice the Inquiry of the Heart—"

Tian Lin rubbed the line of engraved words for a long time and finally understood the meaning of this line of words.

He was startled and resurfaced. After a while, he touched the words on other walls:
"I, a disciple of the Questioning Heart Sect, swear to never leave the sect and die here."

"I, a disciple of the Questioning Heart Sect, swear with blood that I will never come out of seclusion and die here."

"I, a disciple of the Questioning Heart Sect, swear to never come out of seclusion and die here."

A line of densely packed words, each line represents a life, and each line seems to contain a wronged soul.

Finally, Tian Lin found another line of words at the bottom: "Hey, Dao Ye is done!"

There was no name left on this line of words, but Tian Lin was very familiar with the handwriting.

He was running low on oxygen at this point and had to quickly surface.

After surfacing, he wiped the water off his face and murmured:

"It seems that Elder Liu has mastered the art of questioning the mind? This stone chamber is not a place to live for a long time, and the art of questioning the mind is a top-grade spell. What means did Elder Liu use to master the art of questioning the mind in just a few days?"

He guessed that there was a secret in the stone chamber, so this time he explored the stone wall no longer to explore the words on the wall, but to find out the secret of the "preaching" in this stone chamber.

"Junior Brother Tian, are you still alive now?"

Outside the stone gate, Zhou Shichou's voice was heard.

But before Tian Lin could answer, a woman's voice came through the stone gate:
"There is still movement in the stone chamber. This guy is quite persistent. However, with his ninth-level Qi Refining cultivation, I'm afraid he is no longer able to suppress the snake venom in the stone chamber."

Tian Lin was familiar with the woman's voice and knew that this woman was the woman in white who brought him into the sect.

Sure enough, Zhou Shichou begged, "Aunt, please open the stone door and let Junior Brother Tian out."

Then I heard a woman's voice coming from the stone gate, "Okay, make this kid kneel down and beg for mercy, and I'll let him out."

Tian Lin knew that once he really knelt down and begged for mercy, the Wenxin Sect would then take the opportunity to force him to help the Wenxin Sect find a way to obtain the formula for the Wenxin Pill.

Tian Lin must not weaken his momentum at this time, so as not to let the other party think that they can control him at will, thus losing the initiative.

Zhou Shichou's voice was heard through the stone door saying to Tian Lin: "Junior Brother Tian, my aunt is a strong person in the early stage of foundation building. It is not shameful for you to beg for mercy from her." Tian Lin replied in the stone room: "I remember the kindness of Senior Brother Zhou, but I did nothing wrong. I am a guest of Wenxin Sect, so there is no need to beg for mercy."

After he finished speaking, the woman's voice outside the stone wall said in surprise:

"Hey, this kid is still full of energy, as if he has already cultivated to the twelfth level of Qi Refining."

"Aunt, please let Junior Brother Tian out."

As soon as Zhou Shichou finished speaking, the woman's voice outside the stone wall was filled with anger:

“Why, even an outsider knows that he would rather die than beg for mercy, but you, a member of the Zhou family, are you going to beg your aunt for an outsider?”

There was no more female voice outside the stone wall, but after a moment Zhou Shichou's voice said:
"Junior Brother Tian, if you can't hold on any longer, call me. I'll be guarding you outside the stone wall."

Tian Lin in the stone wall frowned. He didn't know whether Zhou Shichou really regarded him as a friend or was simply afraid that he would die and then would not ask for the formula of the Heart-Searching Pill.

Tian Lin changed his mind and said to Zhou Shichou outside the stone wall: "Brother Zhou, don't worry about me. Why do you have to suffer in the water room outside for no reason?"

Zhou Shichou's voice was cheerful, and Tian Lin seemed to see his smile through the stone door:

"Brother Tian, don't worry about me. I have been staying in the water room since I was a child. I am not afraid of other snakes except the poisonous snakes in Room A."

Tian Lin was speechless. He stayed in the stone chamber for a while and suddenly felt that his skin became quite tough, as if covered with a layer of iron.

No wonder I haven’t felt the pain of the fangs entering my body for a while. It turns out that my body has become stronger again.

As a last resort, Tian Lin took out the sword from his storage bag and cut his skin on his own initiative.

Soon, the poisonous snakes in the water became agitated and rushed towards the wound on Tian Lin's arm.

But the wound that Tian Lin cut himself was not big, and in the end only one snake bit Tian Lin's wound and injected venom into Tian Lin's body.

Seeing this, Tian Lin simply cut another wound on his other arm.

Although the wound he cut was somewhat painful, it was nothing compared to the suffering he had endured in his early years of seeking immortality.

After all, cutting a wound is not like cutting flesh. Cutting flesh can be very painful, but cutting a wound is not that painful.

"Junior Brother Tian, how are you now?"

Zhou Shichou outside the stone gate sounded worried.

For the first time, Tian Lin felt that this person was a bit nagging, but he was afraid that Zhou Shichou really cared about him, and he misunderstood his good intentions.

After thinking for a while, Tian Lin said, "Brother, don't worry about me. I can still hold on."

Zhou Shichou's voice said, "Junior Brother Tian, why don't you go out first? I have some detoxifying pills here. It won't be too late for you to enter Room A after you take the detoxifying pills."

Tian Lin also wanted the free pills, but now that he had taken the pills from Wenxin Sect, how could he have the face to be tough in front of Wenxin Sect?

"I appreciate your kindness, brother. I also have some antidotes from the sect, so you don't have to worry about it."

Tian Lin stayed in the stone chamber for a while, and he found that the small wounds on his body had healed automatically.

This is obviously the effect of those venoms!

"In this stone chamber, even if I can't find a way to practice the Heart-Searching Technique, I can still rely on these poisonous snakes to refine my body.

The effect of this body refining is different from that of the Dragon Elephant Divine Art."

Tian Lin took Taibai out of the storage bag, and this time he made the wound on his body even bigger.

In an instant, the dirty water in the room began to turn red and soon turned into red soup.

Not only did the blood make the snakes in the water boil, but also densely packed snakes that seemed to be hibernating emerged from the many holes on the top of the cave.

Looking at the densely packed snakes crawling out from the top of the cave, Tian Lin was shocked.

He never imagined that there were so many snakes hiding in the snake cave.

"Junior brother, you are not going to die, are you? It has been a whole day!"

One day?

Tian Lin in the stone chamber couldn't tell the time, but when he heard Zhou Shichou's voice that was almost crying, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Junior Brother Tian, please come out quickly and go beg my aunt for mercy. I'll plead for you and everything will be over."

The anxiety in Zhou Shichou's tone didn't sound fake, so much so that he seemed to be choked with anxiety.

But Tian Lin didn't believe that someone who had only known him for a few days could care so much about his life or death.

He felt that Zhou Shichou's emotional tone at this moment was full of "performance" and hypocrisy.

Tian Lin sneered in his heart, but his tone was calm:
"Brother Zhou, don't worry about me. I have already replenished my Qi with the help of elixirs. Maybe I can hold on for a few more hours."

As Tian Lin was speaking, there was a loud "clattering" sound from the top of the cave.

A large number of poisonous snakes fell from the top of the cave, and a few faint lights shone into the stone chamber from above.

Tian Lin was startled and ignored Zhou Shichou outside the stone chamber.

He looked up at the brightly lit caves, and suddenly realized:
"It turns out that the secret of the stone chamber is hidden in the snake cave. If you want to uncover the secret of the stone chamber, you must find a way to lure the snake out of the snake cave."

At this time, thousands of snakes filled Room A. Not only did the water level rise, but the snakes' bodies also submerged Tian Lin's entire face.

But Tian Lin was not in a hurry at all. While pushing the snake off his face, he moved his body, using the snake under his feet as a pad on the stone steps to raise his body, and put his eyes close to a snake hole.

Just as he looked up into the snake cave, he saw a black human eye in the snake cave also staring at Tian Lin.
