Chapter 124: Small Success in Earth Escape Technique

Tian Lin took off the wooden badge of the peak disciple from his waist and respectfully placed it in front of the table where Elder Xiao was.

Elder Xiao did not take the wooden sign either. After Tian Lin politely left, he just waved his hand.

When Tian Lin came out of the Taoist temple, he saw Senior Brother Zhao sitting under a tree outside the temple.

Brother Zhao spat out the grass stem in his mouth, patted his butt and walked towards Tian Lin. Before Tian Lin could ask any questions, he said:
"Brother, Xiao Erlang from the Ten Thousand Beasts Peak is here, waiting for you halfway up the mountain."

"Just him?"

"The other one is his elder brother, who is now the head disciple of Jianfeng."

Senior Brother Zhao showed a trace of worry on his face: "I think the two brothers are here with bad intentions, I'm afraid they will do you harm."

"You are talking about the position of Peak Master Disciple, right?"

"Brother, now that you have a flying sword, it is not only a threat to the outer sect disciples. In today's Yaoyue Sect, in addition to the obvious distinction between white-clothed and red-clothed disciples, there is also a distinction between immortals and mortals.

It's a lot of twists and turns, and it's very confusing."

Tian Lin felt that the matter was very troublesome after listening to what Senior Brother Zhao said.

He only wanted to practice earth escape technique for the next half month, so he said to Senior Brother Zhao:
"No matter what their purpose is, I just need to ignore them. Brother Zhao, go back and tell them that I have resigned from the post of head disciple, and ask them to find a new head disciple for matters at Baihua Peak in the future.

If the new peak disciples can't solve the problem, then let them go to find Elder Xiao."

Hearing what Tian Lin said, Senior Brother Zhao was obviously shocked.

"Brother, are you coming down the mountain this time just to resign?"

Tian Lin smiled and said, "Although I am not a peak disciple, I am still an outer disciple of Baihua Peak. Apart from having one less task, there is actually no difference."

Senior Brother Zhao opened his mouth, but considering that Tian Lin would indeed avoid a lot of trouble after resigning from the position of the head disciple, he did not say anything more to persuade him.

"Okay, it's fine if you don't go back to Jiranju. I don't think these two brothers surnamed Xiao can do anything good."

The two men bowed to each other, and Tian Lin went down the mountain alone and went up to the Asking Dao Mountain.

This time, in addition to bringing a food box for Old Man Gou, he also took away all the bird eggs in the kitchen.

Tian Lin put the food box he brought from the kitchen into the hands of old man Gou at level 95. Even though old man Gou was crazy at this time, he could still sit as steady as a rock at level 95.

Tian Lin suspected that Old Man Gou was already strong enough to reach the 98th level - as for the 99th level, Tian Lin was not sure whether Old Man Gou could make it through.

However, Old Man Gou is now crazy, and the crazy Old Man Gou can fight against others relying on his instincts.

But the ninety-ninth stone step, in addition to a certain level of strength, also requires luck or calculation.

Obviously, the crazy old man Gou did not have such luck and calculation.

After giving the food box to Old Man Gou, Tian Lin ignored him and went up the ninth stone step of the second section by himself.

The ninth step of the second section of stone stairs is exactly the valley where Master Zhou sold the money to Patriarch Yao Yue when he first joined the Blood Sect.

In this valley, Deputy Hall Master Jiao's big red horse kicked Manager Qiao to death, and Deputy Hall Master Jiao found excuses to refine the rest of the red-robed monks into blood pills.

Naturally, Patriarch Yaoyue became the manager of the valley.

"There is no danger in the ninth level illusion. As long as we kill the sleeping Deputy Hall Master Jiao, we can escape from the illusion."

As soon as Tian Lin entered the illusion, he appeared in the alchemy room in the cave. At this moment, his breath was filled with a strange aroma with a bloody smell.

The blood pill being refined in the furnace was prepared for Deputy Hall Master Jiao, but it was impossible for Tian Lin to refine the pill for Deputy Hall Master Jiao.

He covered the furnace, and the bloody smell in the stone chamber instantly faded.

Tian Lin took out a mat from his storage bag, sat cross-legged on it and took out the eggs of the xun bird one by one.

He stuffed the whole bird egg into his mouth and began to eat it attentively.

The passage of time in the illusion and the outside world is different. Twelve hours in the illusion is only a quarter of an hour in the outside world.

For the next seven or eight days, Tian Lin had no idea how long he had stayed in the illusion.

He didn't give up practicing until all the birds' eggs in his storage bag were used up.

According to Tian Lin's estimation, it was already afternoon in the illusion and it would take about six hours to leave it.

Now, he has already mastered the earth escape technique to a small level, and it is inevitable that he is itching to show off his skills.

He opened the stone door and saw only a few mortals practicing in the small cave.

Those mortals looked at Tian Lin timidly, vying to make way for him.

Tian Lin strode past the first stone chamber. This stone chamber was originally the residence of Manager Qiao. After Manager Qiao's death, it naturally became the resting place of Master Jiao.

But at this time the door of the stone chamber was closed, and one could only judge from the faint snoring that Deputy Hall Master Jiao was sleeping soundly.

"Manager Huang——"

A mortal stepped forward and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Tian Lin who raised his hand.

"Don't wake up Master Jiao. I'm going out for a walk alone."

Tian Lin stroked his beard. He didn't know how he looked in the eyes of others.

But he was very clear that he had been going back and forth between fantasy and reality for quite some time and had grown quite a beard.

He slapped the storage bag and Taibai flew out of it.

This sword is extremely sharp. Although it is not a magic weapon, it is indeed made of materials for making flying swords.

As Tian Lin walked, he used Taibai to shave his beard. When he put Taibai back into the storage bag, he had already left the cave.

Outside the cave, Master Jiao's big red horse that could spit fire was still tied there.

The setting sun made the big red horse look bright red, and it looked particularly majestic.

Tian Lin looked at the big red horse, and suddenly used the earth escape technique. The stones under his feet suddenly became soft.

He stomped his feet hard, and both he and his clothes sank into the mud.

Tian Lin could feel that his true energy was being consumed at a very fast rate while he was performing the earth escape technique.

He knew that he couldn't stay underground for too long, nor could he hide too deep.

So he just stayed there for two breaths and then popped his head out of the soil again.

With a hissing sound, Tian Lin heard the neighing of a horse.

When he was halfway out of the ground, he saw a horse hoof falling on his head. How did he end up here with the big red horse?

Tian Lin did not have time to think too much at this time, as he had not forgotten the scene where Manager Qiao was kicked to death by the big red horse.

With a change of mind, Tian Lin sank into the mud again.

There was a loud bang above his head, and a huge force was transmitted from the ground to Tian Lin's body.

Tian Lin felt as if he was hit by a huge hammer and felt a sharp pain all over his body.

He changed direction again, and when he thought he was not too close to the big red horse, he came out from underground.

As soon as Tian Lin came out of the ground, his clothes were covered with dust.

He brushed off the dust on his body, turned his neck and looked at the big red horse opposite.

The big red horse neighed, broke free from the reins, jumped up, raised its two front hooves high, and dropped heavily on Tian Lin's chest.

Tian Lin snorted coldly, raised his hand and a flying sword appeared from the storage bag, and was thrown out heavily by Tian Lin like a meteor.

The big red horse neighed again, and then half of its body fell heavily to the ground with a pool of blood.

Looking at the big red horse broken into two pieces, Tian Lin turned his head and looked towards the cave again.

Sure enough, Master Jiao was obviously awakened by the hissing sound.

He looked at Tian Lin in disbelief and shouted, "You old bastard, you dare to kill my horse?"

Master Jiao pointed the skull cane in his hand at Tian Lin, but how could he be Tian Lin's opponent?

Before the cane could attack Tian Lin, Tian Lin's flying sword had already beheaded Master Jiao.

The scene in the valley began to become blurred with the death of Master Jiao, and Tian Lin soon appeared on the ninth stone step of Mount Wendao.

"Does a high-grade spell consume spiritual consciousness?"

Just now, the big red horse stomped the ground violently, but fortunately his body is now extremely strong, so he was not injured.

However, the first time he was "unearthed", he was almost trampled by the big red horse, which left some shadows in Tian Lin's heart.

Because he discovered that although the Earth Escape Technique did not consume as much spiritual consciousness as the Heart-Searching Technique, it still required spiritual consciousness.

Spiritual awareness can help him identify the direction in the mud and "see clearly" the "roadblocks" ahead.

Because Tian Lin lacked spiritual awareness, he rashly went in the wrong direction and appeared right under the big red horse.

"Don't use Earth Escape Technique and Heart-Searching Technique lightly. In three or four days, the life and death stage will begin. Take advantage of this time to improve your cultivation to the twelfth level of Qi Refining. I wonder if it can enhance your spiritual awareness."

At the Qi Refining Stage, with the help of spiritual liquid, Tian Lin could raise his cultivation to the twelfth level of Qi Refining in just four or five days.

He has been cherishing his time these past few days, fearing that he would not be able to achieve any success in his earth escape technique by the time the life and death stage was opened.

Now, not only has his earth escape technique reached a small level of success, but his cultivation has also reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

At this time, Tian Lin's true energy was already very powerful, and his spiritual awareness seemed to have also increased a lot.

He didn't plan to stay in the illusion any longer, so after descending the Asking Dao Mountain, he rode his flying sword back to the Hundred Flowers Peak.

Several disciples from Baihua Peak looked at the flying sword under Tian Lin's feet with indescribable envy in their eyes.

"Brother Tian, ​​has your cultivation improved again?"

When Senior Brother Zhao saw Tian Lin coming back, he put down his sword and went to meet him.

"I am now at the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and I don't plan to go up to the Dao Mountain for the time being."

As soon as he said this, several Qi-refining disciples nearby were convinced.

Because even if you practice blood qi, you won't have such an incredible speed as Tian Lin, it seems like upgrading is a common thing.

"In this way, Senior Brother Tian's position as an outer disciple is secure. This is a great joyous event."

Senior Brother Zhao said this, but the smile on his face looked very forced.

Tian Lin knew what he was worried about, patted Senior Brother Zhao on the shoulder and said:
"Your cultivation has already reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and your mid-level spells have also achieved minor success, so there is no need to worry too much."

Tian Lin thought for a moment and took out Taibai from his storage bag:

"This sword was discarded when the flying sword was being made. Although it is not as good as the flying sword, it is still rare. If you don't mind, I can lend it to you for a while."

Senior Brother Zhao was delighted when he heard this, and he thanked Tian Lin with a cupped hand: "After the life and death competition, regardless of success or failure, I will immediately return the sword to you, Senior Brother Tian."

Tian Lin glanced at the other outer disciples and found that they were looking at him with some anticipation.

But where did Tian Lin have so many good things to give to others? Besides, he had no friendship with these people.

He pretended not to notice the expectations of others and strode towards Jiranju.

At this time, Senior Brother Zhao put away Taibai and chased after him:
"Brother, you should be careful on this life and death stage. The ones you need to be most careful of are those outer disciples who were once inner disciples. Not only are they strong, but they also have flying swords or other magical weapons that are hard to defend against."

"Thank you for reminding me about this matter, I know what to do."

Tian Lin sent Senior Brother Zhao away and went back to Jiranju to get the big bucket.

He practiced for nearly a month, and because he spent most of this month in a dreamland, the actual time he practiced was probably as long as half a year.

At this moment, Tian Lin just felt tired all over. It was not that he was physically unwell, but that he felt a little mentally tired.

He took a bath for several hours and fell asleep unknowingly. When he woke up, he felt particularly refreshed.

"Is this an illusion? My spiritual awareness seems to have increased a little."

Although it is said to have increased a little, Tian Lin clearly felt that his five senses were much stronger than before.

Outside the room, his eyes could more clearly capture the sword movements of the outer disciples who were practicing sword.

Even inside the house, he could clearly distinguish the subtle differences in the sound of wind blowing through the grass and trees.

"My spiritual awareness has indeed been enhanced, but why is that? I clearly haven't practiced at all!"

Tian Lin knew very little about the cultivation of spiritual consciousness. Although the Heart-Searching Technique could enhance spiritual consciousness, it did not tell Tian Lin the principle of how spiritual consciousness was enhanced.

For the next two or three days, Tian Lin stayed lying in the house.

But what disappointed him was that, even though he was resting for the same period, except for the first day when his spiritual awareness was enhanced, it never increased even a little bit afterwards.
