Chapter 118 Zhang Zong, Gets the Flying Sword

Chapter 118 Returning to the Sect and Obtaining the Flying Sword

In order to avoid further complications, Elder Xiao took Tian Lin to the side room for a secret talk, and then left the room and gave the recipe for the Heart-Searching Pill to Master Zhou.

Master Zhou only took a quick look at it and gave the recipe for the Heart-Searching Pill to the Great Elder.

When the great elder took the formula to the side room to test the elixir, Master Zhou took off a piece of wood-like sign from his waist and handed it to Tian Lin:
"Every disciple of our Questioning Heart Sect has a badge like this. Now that you have practiced the Questioning Heart Technique, although you are not a member of my Zhou family, you are also considered a disciple of the Questioning Heart Sect."

Tian Lin took the sign and took a look at it. He saw that the front of the wooden sign was engraved with the words "Ask your heart" in positive relief, while the back was engraved with the words "Paint the world with a pen, and view the universe in the palm of your hand", which were not antithetical.

When Tian Lin was looking at the wooden sign, the second elder beside him couldn't help but said, "Brother, this sign——"

Master Zhou waved his hand and told Tian Lin:
"This plaque has never been given to anyone other than my Wenxin Sect. Not even your master has ever received it. And this plaque is made of thousand-year-old wood, so it is quite precious."

"Thousand-year-old wood?"

Elder Xiao couldn't help but be a little surprised, looking at the wooden sign in Tian Lin's hand: "Is it the thousand-year-old tree that was destroyed a thousand years ago?"

"Yes - if you enter the Chenxian Pond, you will sink. Only a thousand-year-old tree can ferry you across. Since the thousand-year-old tree on Yulong Continent was destroyed, there are not many such trees left in the world."

Tian Lin realized how rare the wooden sign in his hand was, and immediately bowed to express his gratitude.

At this time, the great elder from the side hall came out.

He was holding a wooden box with a few pills in it.

The pills exuded a light herbal fragrance, which made people subconsciously look at them.

The Great Elder placed the pills on the table of Master Zhou and nodded, saying, "It is indeed the formula of the Heart-Searching Pill."

Master Zhou's face lit up with joy, and then he turned his gaze towards Elder Xiao.

Elder Xiao knew what Sect Master Zhou meant, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Zhou, the Heart-Searching Technique is your sect's magic, and I will never pass on the Heart-Searching Pill formula to anyone else."

Master Zhou returned the favor:
"I trust Junior Brother Xiao's character. I have a 'Spirit Nourishing Pill' here. Although it can't cure Junior Brother Zhong's hysteria, it can stop his illness from getting worse."

Han Yue, who had been standing on the periphery, was both happy and sad. She was happy that Master Zhou was willing to give her the elixir, but she was sad that even Master Zhou couldn't cure her senior brother's hysteria. Then who in Yulong Continent could cure Senior Brother Zhong's hysteria?

She knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, and said with tears in her eyes: "I would like to ask Master Zhou to give me some advice. Is there really no way to cure my brother's hysteria?"

Master Zhou thought about it, shook his head and said:

"It's not that there is no solution, but that solution is probably as difficult as ascending to heaven. Your senior brother's spiritual consciousness is injured, and his soul is broken, which leads to his madness. If he had the cultivation of the foundation-building stage, even if his sea of ​​consciousness was injured, it would be able to heal itself in the end.

But he is crazy now, how can he achieve the foundation-building stage? "

Han Yue, who was kneeling on the ground, had a miserable look on his face. Tian Lin saw this and hurriedly helped Han Yue up from the ground. Elder Xiao also took the opportunity to bow to Master Zhou and said:
"Now that everything is done, I still have many things to deal with in my sect, so I won't disturb Senior Brother Zhou and the other brothers."

Sect Master Zhou also bowed to Elder Xiao and personally escorted the Yue Sect entourage out of the Questioning Heart Hall.

Outside the Questioning Heart Hall, the disciples of the Questioning Heart Sect looked at Tian Lin and others with particularly complicated expressions.

On the one hand, they wanted to kill Tian Lin and his group to avenge the Sixth Elder, but on the other hand, they were reluctant to give up the formula of the Heart Pill.

It was not until Elder Xiao's flying boat rose up and completely left the jurisdiction of the Wenxin Sect that those hateful glances finally disappeared.

Senior Brother Zhao on the boat breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but say, "I'm always afraid that the people of the Heart-Searching Sect will act rogue and turn against us after taking the Heart-Searching Pill formula."

Elder Xiao at the bow snorted coldly and said, "The people of the Wenxin Sect don't care about worldly affairs, so they seem unkind, but they have cultivated a simple and honest character. In addition, Tian Lin--"

After he finished speaking, he suddenly turned from the bow and looked at Tian Lin.

Tian Lin knew that Elder Xiao had a lot to ask, but it was obviously not convenient to say more at this time.

Finally, when the sun rose the next day, the flying boat stopped at Baihua Peak.

Senior Brother Zhao wanted to cry as soon as he got off the flying boat, and couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for Senior Brother Tian, ​​I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back on this trip to the Questioning Heart Sect."

Han Yue also got off the boat with Zhong Wuji on her back and said beside Tian Lin: "This time it is all thanks to my help, Senior Brother. I would like to thank you very much."

Tian Lin shook his head slightly. He wanted to say something modest, but Elder Xiao, who had collected the flying boat, said:

"Tian Lin, come with me to the Taoist temple. Han Yuen will go and tell your Senior Sister Xiao that she is safe. Also, you are not allowed to tell anyone about your experiences in the Questioning Heart Sect, including Tian Lin's."

After Elder Xiao finished speaking, he turned and left. Tian Lin had no choice but to use the Wind Walking Technique to follow him.

It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the Taoist temple at the top of the mountain.

Elder Xiao's Taoist temple is quite similar to Liu Xuanfeng's Taoist temple. At first glance, Tian Lin seemed to see a Taoist boy guarding the door.

But in fact, the little Taoist boy from Lianshui Peak and Shisan Niang had already disappeared with Elder Liu.

The so-called Taoist boy at Elder Xiao's door turned out to be Elder Feng.

As soon as Elder Feng saw Tian Lin following closely behind Elder Xiao, he knew that the trip would be successful.

He waited for Tian Lin and Elder Xiao to enter the Taoist temple before he asked Elder Xiao, "Elder Xiao, did you really give the formula of the Heart-Searching Pill to the Heart-Searching Sect?"

Elder Xiao sat down at the table in the courtyard, poured himself a cup of tea, glanced at Tian Lin, and then said lightly:
"I have already made an agreement with the Heart-Searching Sect that the formula of the Heart-Searching Pill will not be disclosed to anyone, so Elder Feng, you'd better not ask."

Elder Feng opened his mouth, but seeing Elder Xiao's firm attitude, he finally chose to shut up.

He turned to look at Tian Lin and said, "I promised to give you a flying boat and a flying sword. Now you have the flying boat, and the flying sword has been prepared for you."

After he finished speaking, he patted his storage bag and took out a sword case.

As the lid of the sword box opened, a sword popped out of the box, and Tian Lin hurriedly grabbed the hilt of the sword.

The long sword hummed softly, making a humming sound, as if it were a living thing.

Tian Lin frowned and clenched the sword tightly. The struggling and shaking sword finally stopped making noise.

Tian Lin took the opportunity to bite his fingertips and drip his blood onto the hilt of the sword.

Elder Feng exclaimed softly, nodded and said: "It seems that you have a talent for sword training. In this way, Elder He's flying sword falling into your hands is not buried."

Elder Xiao, who was drinking nearby, immediately asked, "Is that Elder He's sword you're holding?"

"Haha, he has collected so many flying swords, so what if one is missing?

Besides, he actually forgot to mention the killing of the Sixth Elder of the Questioning Heart Sect when he returned to the sect last time, which almost caused a big mistake. He should also pay for this sword."

Elder Xiao said, "If Elder He comes back and loses his flying sword, he will definitely look for it everywhere. If you want to borrow flowers to offer gifts to Buddha, then you should handle the whole matter well and don't let Elder He vent his anger on the disciple who is in charge of Baihua Peak."

Elder Feng nodded and said, "I'll go talk to him in a minute. By the way, don't you have anything to say to me now that you're back?"

Elder Xiao put down his teacup and asked him, "What is there to say? You have to find Elder He anyway, so go ask Elder He if you have anything to ask."

Elder Feng was furious. He glared at Elder Xiao and left in anger.

As soon as he left, Elder Xiao frowned and looked at Tian Lin: "Tell me, what happened?"

Tian Lin stood beside the table and said, "If the elder wants to ask about the Heart-Searching Technique and the Heart-Searching Pill formula, this matter involves my master, but I don't know how to ask."

Elder Xiao was also very angry, but he felt that what Tian Lin said made sense.

In Elder Xiao's opinion, the only way Tian Lin came into contact with the Heart-Searching Technique and the formula of the Heart-Searching Pill could be Liu Xuanfeng.

Because Liu Xuanfeng inherited the art from the Questioning Heart Sect more than a hundred years ago, it is very likely that Tian Lin's Questioning Heart Art was taught to him privately by Liu Xuanfeng.

Although this matter is against the rules, hasn’t Elder Liu done enough things that are against the rules?

You have to know that Tian Lin was born in Huahualang and originally had no mid-level magic. It was Liu Xuanfeng who set a precedent and gave all the magic of the clan family to Tian Lin.

As for where the recipe of the Heart-Searching Pill came from, I'm afraid only Liu Xuanfeng himself can find out.

"Haha, Xing Tongtian said something right. Your master looks harmless, but he is actually very cunning. I really don't know how many secrets he has hidden." He didn't intend to let Tian Lin go, and asked Tian Lin: "In addition to the inheritance of the Heart-Searching Technique, what else did you get in the Heart-Searching Chamber of the Heart-Searching Sect?"

Tian Lin thought for a moment and said, "I only inherited the Heart-Searching Technique, and I didn't get anything else."

Elder Xiao didn't believe it and said, "If it was just the inheritance of the Heart-Searching Technique, how could the Heart-Searching Stone Sculpture of the Heart-Searching Sect be broken? And why did Senior Brother Zhou want you to be the headmaster of the Heart-Searching Sect?"

Tian Lin said: "I really didn't get anything. As for Master Zhou's decision to let me be the master, I'm afraid it's not from the heart.

He doesn't know my character well, so how can he trust me to hand over the Questioning Heart Sect to his disciples?"

Elder Xiao said, "I don't care what inheritance you got in the Heart-Searching Chamber. I only have one thing to tell you. Go out less in the future, so as not to be targeted by people with ulterior motives."

Tian Lin's face became serious, and he immediately bowed and said, "Disciple will remember the elder's teachings."

Elder Xiao didn't like to stay with Tian Lin for too long, and suspected that Tian Lin was hiding something from him, so he waved his hand like he was shooing away a fly and said:
"Let's go. I'm sure you know how to use the flying sword. Don't bother me here."

Tian Lin bowed again and then respectfully left the Taoist temple.

As soon as he left the Taoist temple, he couldn't wait to take out the flying sword from the sword case on his back.

The flying sword floated in front of Tian Lin according to his will. Tian Lin raised his hand and pointed, and the flying sword instantly turned into a beam of light and flew away, then flew back and floated in front of him.

There was a loud crash, and the big trees within fifty steps ahead fell down one after another in a straight line.

The angry voice of Elder Xiao suddenly rang out in the Taoist temple: "If you want to show off your sword skills, go down the mountain."

The smile on Tian Lin's face disappeared, he quickly retracted his sword and ran to the mountainside.

He walked briskly and stopped only when he reached the back of the mountain halfway up the mountain.

As he stepped onto the flying sword, he saw the flying sword disappear in a flash, but he lost his balance and fell off the flying sword.

"Back!"

After staggering, Tian Lin stood firmly on the grass, but he did not forget to retract the flying sword.

He summoned the flying sword in his mind, but found that he had lost the sense of the flying sword.

Tian Lin's face changed slightly, and he quickly used the Wind Walking Technique to move towards the direction where the flying sword disappeared.

When he reached Yaofeng Peak, he saw Zhuang Buzhou standing at the foot of Jianfeng Peak.

At the same time, Tian Lin finally sensed his flying sword.

"Back!"

He was silently chanting in his mind, and the flying sword came towards him with a whoosh.

The flying sword was extremely fast. Tian Linkang only saw the flying sword being held in Zhuang Buzhou's hand, but now it immediately flew towards his forehead.

Tian Lin's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly used the Wind Walking Technique to dodge.

Just as the flying sword was about to behead him, Zhuang Buzhou's sword appeared in front of Tian Lin in time and knocked away the flying sword that was stabbing at Tian Lin's forehead.

Tian Lin fell to the ground with a trace of fear on his face, but Zhuang Buzhou started laughing.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Tian, ​​you have obtained a lower-grade magic weapon. However, Junior Brother Tian seems to be not very proficient in controlling the flying sword."

Tian Lin stood up, bowed to Zhuang Buzhou and said, "Just now I was trying to fly on my sword at Baihua Peak, but I failed to control the sword and it flew away."

Zhuang Buzhou said: "I was also very curious at that time, why did a flying sword fall from the sky in broad daylight, who was trying to plot against me?

I took the flying sword and went down to Yaofeng, and then I realized that the flying sword belonged to you, Junior Brother Tian."

Tian Lin felt ashamed, and then he heard Zhuang Buzhou say:
“Junior brother, you must know that the spiritual awareness of a Qigong practitioner is too weak, and he can only use a flying sword within thirty or forty steps.

Once the distance exceeds the reach of spiritual consciousness, the flying sword will lose control, and at that time it will be like an arrow shot from a bow, and no one knows where it will fly. "

Upon hearing this, Tian Lin hurriedly bowed and thanked Zhuang Buzhou for his teachings.

Zhuang Buzhou added: "Junior brother, when flying a sword, besides making sure that the sword does not exceed the control distance of your spiritual consciousness, you must also pay attention to the consumption of your spiritual consciousness by the sword.

Especially when fighting with others, if the spiritual consciousness is exhausted and the flying sword goes wrong in the middle of the fight, it will hurt oneself."

Zhuang Buzhou had never talked much with Tian Lin before, but today, for some reason, he chatted with Tian Lin for nearly half an hour.

It was not until Senior Sister Xiao came that Zhuang Buzhou returned to Yaofeng on his own.

"Junior brother and Senior Brother Zhuang are very familiar with each other?"

Xiao Hong walked in front and turned to ask Tian Lin.

Tian Lin smiled and said, "I was with Senior Brother Zhuang when I went out on a mission. Plus, he knew Senior Brother Liu Yunjiu, so he took good care of me."

This is false. When Tian Lin did not have a flying sword and had no strength, Zhuang Buzhou treated him no differently than other disciples.

This time when Tian Lin came back from the Wenxin Sect, Zhuang Buzhou was obviously much closer to him.

"By the way, when I left the sect that day, I promised you that I would treat you to a good meal when I came back. Now the food is ready, you won't be busy, right?"

Tian Lin didn't want to go, but looking at Xiao Hong's burning gaze, he could only postpone his plan to go to Mount Wendao.

The two of them went up to Baihua Peak and saw a large table already set up in Xiao Hong's courtyard.

Tian Lin not only saw Senior Brother Zhao but also Junior Brother Jiang, in addition to several other outer disciples from Baihua Peak.

"Brother Tian, ​​come and sit here."

While Senior Brother Zhao was talking, he patted the young man beside him and said, "Why are you still standing there? Can you sit in this first seat?"

The young man stood up suddenly, stared at Senior Brother Zhao and said:

"I have fought hard to become an outer disciple now, so why can't I sit in the first seat? But you, Senior Brother Zhao—

Although you are at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, you have never demonstrated yourself on the life and death stage. I think it is best for you to sit at the last seat."

He said that Senior Brother Zhao had never been on the life and death stage, so he was not qualified to sit in the second seat.

Then, does Tian Lin, who has also never been on the stage of life and death, also not have the qualifications to sit in the first seat?
The reason why Tian Lin didn't like to socialize with people was that these intrigues took up too much of his mind and time. He didn't want to fight for a seat, so he simply said:
"This time Senior Sister Xiao is the host, so of course Senior Sister Xiao should sit in the first seat."

Xiao Hong also didn't want to have a good banquet, as it caused unhappiness among fellow disciples because of the seating arrangement.

She said, "Yes, this first seat belongs to me. No one else can take my seat."

Tian Lin smiled, patted the sword case on his back, and the flying sword appeared.

Tian Lin handed the flying sword to Senior Brother Zhao and said, "Junior Brother Zhao, take a look at my flying sword. If I go on the life and death stage, can I keep my position as the head disciple?"

Senior Brother Zhao laughed loudly. He took the flying sword handed to him by Tian Lin, pointed it at the young man's neck, and then said:
"Junior Brother Qian, do you think this flying sword can cut off your dog's head?"

The young man's face changed. He didn't know what Tian Lin and the others experienced after they went to Wenxin Sect, nor did he know that Tian Lin had inherited the Wenxin Sect's heritage, because Elder Xiao had ordered Senior Brother Zhao not to tell anyone about this.

Therefore, in the eyes of the young man, Tian Lin's attempt to "rescue" Han Yue was in vain, and in the end it was only with the personal intervention of Elder Xiao that he was able to escape from the Wenxin Sect with his life.

Therefore, since Tian Lin had no merit, how could he take up the position of outer disciple for nothing without even going on the life and death stage?
It would be fine if he just took up the quota of outer disciples for nothing, but why should he become the head disciple of Baihua Peak?
He was not convinced by Tian Lin's strength, and now seeing Tian Lin take out the flying sword, he felt even more dissatisfied and jealous.

But no matter how dissatisfied he was with Tian Linde's unworthiness for the position, he had to admit that Tian Lin, who had a magic weapon, was not someone he could deal with.

"Junior Brother Qian, there is no place for you here. Why don't you go to the last seat?"

Tian Lin didn't intend to give these people face. He took back the flying sword from Senior Brother Zhao and said coldly.
