Chapter 127 Xing Tongtian Visits
"The Inquiry of the Heart Sect's Inquiry of the Heart?"
"Where did he get the Inquiry of the Heart Sect's Inquiry of the Heart technique?"
On the high platform, many outer disciples were confused and looked at Tian Lin with puzzled eyes.
Elder Feng seemed to have thought of something, and shouted to the outer disciples behind him: "No talking during the duel, who else wants to stand up and compete for the position of inner disciple?"
"Disciples, please rest for a while, or first see if there are any menial disciples who want to challenge for the position of outer disciples."
An outer sect disciple stepped forward, and Elder Tongfeng bowed in greeting.
Elder Feng glanced at the outer disciples and the people behind them and found that a small number of these people were accidentally injured by Tian Lin's heart-searching technique.
Although the injuries don't seem serious, in a life-and-death battle, it is certainly better to be safer.
"Are there any menial disciples who want to compete for the position of inner disciple?"
Elder Feng asked again, this time he turned his gaze towards the menial disciples who were watching the battle.
Outside the field, only a few errand disciples were ready to make a move, and most people looked at Tian Lin inside the field.
Tian Lin was covered in dust at this time. He spat out the gravel in his mouth, walked to Xiao Mu's body holding the flying sword, and then picked up the immortal rope on the ground.
"Mr. Tian, put down my brother's magic weapon!"
Xiao Lin's voice rang out from the high platform. When Tian Lin turned his head, he saw a flying sword flying towards him, but it was broken by Elder Feng's finger in the middle.
There was a slight "clang" sound, and as the broken sword fell to the ground, Xiao Lin on the high platform took two steps back and then fell to the ground.
"I told you not to talk during a fight, and you still dare to stab me in front of me?"
As soon as Elder Feng finished speaking, someone below the stage said, "Miscellaneous disciple Xiang Nan requests to challenge Xiao Lin."
Xiao Lin on the high platform looked very unhappy. He half-knelt and stood up to beg Elder Feng, "My disciple is injured now. Please take a rest."
"No!"
Elder Feng said sternly, "You plotted against your fellow disciples. I didn't kill you on the spot, which was already a courtesy to Elder Xiao. Now, someone wants to challenge you. You can either accept the challenge or admit defeat and go back to the servants' quarters."
Xiao Lin suspected that Elder Feng was taking his anger out on him because his great-grandson had died, but he didn't dare to refute it now.
"My flying sword has been broken, and I have been attacked by my spiritual consciousness. How can I be a match for Junior Brother Xiang?"
Xiao Lin angrily looked at Xiang Nan in the audience, then looked at Tian Lin: "Disciple admits defeat, and the position of outer disciple will be given to Junior Brother Xiang."
Tian Lin didn't care about the resentment Xiao Lin had when he looked at him.
He is now an inner disciple, and the duel between menial disciples and outer disciples has nothing to do with him.
Moreover, he had used the Heart-Searching Technique too vigorously, and was also attacked by his spiritual consciousness. The most urgent thing was to find a place to recover properly, so how could he care about others?
The errand disciples outside the arena were jealous when they saw Tian Lin taking Xiao Mu's Immortal Binding Rope, his flying sword and storage bag.
But the scene of Tian Lin killing Xiao Mu just now was too shocking, and everyone knew that Tian Lin was not someone to be trifled with.
So, when these people saw Tian Lin walking towards them, they quickly made way for him.
"What a life-and-death fight! I, Shang, congratulate Junior Brother Tian on being promoted to an inner sect disciple and obtaining two storage bags in a row."
As soon as Tian Lin sat down in an open space outside the venue, Shang Yu followed him.
This place is a bit far from the Life and Death Stage. Tian Lin didn't know the purpose of Shang Yu's visit, so he didn't rush to close his eyes and meditate. Instead, he held the Immortal Binding Rope in his left hand and the flying sword on his knee in his right hand, and said:
"Although Senior Brother Qu is an inner sect disciple, he is alone and helpless after all. I don't think he has much money in his storage bag. On the contrary, Senior Brother Feng must have a lot of valuable relics because of Elder Feng.
I don’t know whether I should congratulate Senior Brother Shang for getting rich, or be worried about him offending Elder Feng.”
Shang Yu said: "I think Junior Brother's Inquiry of the Heart is definitely more than just a minor success. I don't know whether I should be happy that Junior Brother Tian has such strength, or worried that Junior Brother Tian is suspected by the headmaster."
Tian Lin's mind turned, and he guessed Shang Yu's purpose.
He smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to scare me with the headmaster - even if my heart-searching technique was taught by my master, it doesn't mean I know his whereabouts; if the headmaster suspects that I am still in contact with my master, he can check my whereabouts."
It’s not that Shangyu had not checked Tian Lin, but Tian Lin’s lifestyle was very regular. He stayed on the Wendao Mountain all day and never came down the mountain once.
The only time Tian Lin went out recently was to visit the Wenxin Sect.
"Junior Brother Tian, do you have the antidote formula for the Heartache Gu?"
Shang Yu pondered for a moment, then suddenly stared at Tian Lin and said:
"You have always been fearless in front of me, but I still don't believe that you are not afraid of death. Let me ask you, in addition to teaching you the Heart-Searching Technique, did Elder Liu also teach you the antidote formula for the Heart-Sorrow Gu?"
"What if it is, what if it isn't? Does Deputy Hall Master Shang intend to take me to the Law Enforcement Hall?"
"Okay, I will ask Elder Xiang for instructions. Perhaps it won't be long before I can meet you, Junior Brother Tian, in the dungeon of the Law Enforcement Hall."
Shang Yu turned and left, and Tian Lin finally had time to recover his energy.
He sat cross-legged in meditation for the entire afternoon, and even when the sun was setting and the bell rang, he was still very tired.
Fortunately, the life-and-death battle lasted for an afternoon and finally came to an end.
The menial disciples who were confident that they could compete for the position of outer disciples would not challenge Tian Lin, while those who were confident that they could compete for the position of inner disciples would challenge Shang Yu more often than Tian Lin.
Obviously, in the eyes of these people, Tianlin is more difficult to defeat than Shangyu.
Not to mention Tian Lin's wind-moving technique, just Tian Lin's earth-escaping technique and heart-searching technique are enough to give most people a headache.
"In this life and death arena, Tian Lin and Shang Yu will be promoted to inner disciples. In addition, all new outer disciples will go to the Deacon Hall to change their names on their own—"
Elder Feng looked at Tian Lin and the others coldly. After saying a few words briefly, he quickly left the platform and flew towards the top of Yuechi Mountain.
On the high platform, several outer disciples couldn't help but look toward the top of the mountain. One of them couldn't help but ask, "Will Elder Feng fight with Sect Leader Xing?"
"If a fight really breaks out, I'm afraid this mountain won't be big enough for two people to conquer. I think it's better for everyone to leave as soon as possible."
A group of people left in twos and threes, no longer feeling as heavy as they did at the beginning.
"Brother Tian, your sword."
No one else was familiar with Tian Lin, so only Senior Brother Zhao came over.
He held Taibai in his arms and pretended to return the sword to Tianlin.
Tian Lin thought for a moment and said, "Brother, if you are willing to do me a favor, I will give you this sword."
Senior Brother Zhao was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you want me to help you with?"
Tian Lin said: "Junior brother, if you have time, you can help me collect some messenger bird eggs. If I am not free to collect spiritual rice in a while, I hope you can help me collect spiritual rice."
"How difficult is this? Isn't your request too simple? Any outer disciple on Baihua Peak can do it. Why do you have to look for me?"
Tian Lin smiled and said, "There are many people in the sect who call me Senior Brother, but not many of them are to my liking. Besides, this sword is useless to me, so Junior Brother Zhao, just keep it."
As they were talking, they went down Yuechi Mountain. Xiao Hong and Elder Xiao from Baihua Peak were waiting for them halfway up the mountain.
Xiao Hong and Elder Xiao were not waiting for anyone, but wanted to see how many new and old players there would be on the life and death stage this time. But the fact was that only Tian Lin and Senior Brother Zhao were left on Baihua Peak this time.
"Where are the others? Are they all dead?"
Xiao Hong asked, and then she heard Senior Brother Zhao say sullenly:
"Two died, but there are still three alive. However, those three didn't want to be white-robed disciples anymore, and because they knew that the peak master hated red-robed disciples, they didn't dare to come back."
"It's better if you don't come back. My Baihua Peak will be quieter there."
After Elder Xiao finished speaking, he suddenly glared at Tian Lin and Senior Brother Zhao: "They knew that the future of the Five Elements Foundation Building Method was bleak, so they didn't come back. Then why did you two come back?"
Senior Brother Zhao was stunned, and said excitedly: "If you rely on killing people to build your foundation, wouldn't that make you a demon? Besides, I was injured when I went to Wenxin Sect, and I have no intention of building my foundation in this life. It's better to be down-to-earth and be an outer disciple in Baihua Peak."
Elder Xiao looked at Tian Lin again: "What do you say? You are now an inner sect disciple, and you have reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining. It's time for you to consider your own path to foundation building, right?"
Tian Lin said: "I was just thinking of asking the Peak Master how I should proceed on the path of building my foundation."
Elder Xiao said: "If the sect's foundation-building pool has not dried up, you can switch to cultivating water true qi. At that time, you can borrow the sect's water spirit foundation-building pool, and perhaps have a chance of successfully building a foundation.
But now the sect’s water spirit foundation-building pool has dried up, and even the inner disciples have no choice but to go out and look for opportunities on their own.
But in the past thousand years, how many people have been able to find the opportunity to build a foundation?"
He looked at Tian Lin with some pity in his eyes: "Your talent is the best I have ever seen in my life, even better than Xue En and your master. It would be a pity if you can't build a foundation."
Tian Lin was not surprised to hear that Elder Liu had good talent.
After all, even if there is a foundation-building pool, people may not be able to successfully build a foundation.
Moreover, Elder Liu had achieved the foundation-building stage by seeking opportunities outside, and he did not rely on the sect's foundation-building pool to build his foundation.
"Who is Sean?"
"Xue En was originally a disciple of the sect, but he has been expelled now."
Elder Xiao said lightly, turning the topic back:
"So, now your path to building your foundation is probably to cultivate blood qi and then build your foundation. So when I asked you why you didn't leave, I wasn't saying anything sarcastic."
Tian Lin was a little surprised. It seemed that Elder Xiao was persuading him to practice blood qi.
Not only Tian Lin was surprised, but Xiao Hong and Senior Brother Zhao also found it a little unbelievable.
Senior Brother Zhao frowned and wanted to say something, but swallowed his words back before he opened his mouth.
Xiao Hong didn't have so many concerns. She couldn't help but pull Elder Xiao's arm and said, "Grandpa, don't you hate the red-clothed disciples?"
Elder Xiao said, "Of course I hate red-robed disciples. Not only me, but all the elders in the sect hate red-robed disciples. But if Yulong Continent wants to cultivate immortality and go out, the only way is to cultivate blood true qi."
He said: "Elder Feng and I both opposed Xing Tongtian, but we did not stop him. In addition to not wanting the Yaoyue Sect to split, we also had some fantasies - after all, Yulong Continent has not produced a Jindan cultivator for a thousand years."
"But grandpa, didn't you say that to cultivate blood qi, tens of thousands of people must die to build the foundation? And if you want to achieve the golden elixir realm, how many people will it take to make the elixir?"
"Yes, if Yulong Continent wants to cultivate blood true qi and achieve the golden elixir realm, hundreds of millions of people must die. There will be too many innocent lives dying here.
However, if Yulong Continent does not produce another Jindan cultivator, the Daoism will completely disappear in a hundred years. By then, Shenxiantang will be opened up, and Yulong Continent will not only be slaughtered by outsiders, but the people of the entire continent will probably find it difficult to escape the fate of being enslaved for a long time. "
Tian Lin took the opportunity to ask Elder Xiao, "When I was in the Questioning Heart Sect, you said that the thousand-year-old tree used to cross the Shenxian Pond was destroyed. I wonder who destroyed the thousand-year-old tree?"
"I don't know who it is. But the ancestors of all the sects were still there, so the person who came must be more than just the Jindan realm—"
Tian Lin added: "Since several ancestors were there when the Millennium Tree was destroyed, why didn't the ancestors of each sect try to find a way to cross the sea to Cangzhou to find the Millennium Tree again?"
Tian Lin's question seemed childish, so Xiao Hong answered for Elder Xiao: "There is definitely no thousand-year-old wood, so even if the ancestors of each sect are powerful golden elixir masters, they cannot cross the sea to achieve it."
Elder Xiao also nodded and said, "Yes, you can't fly above Shenxiantang. Only by making a boat out of thousand-year-old wood can you cross the vast sea."
Tian Lin added: "Since even the ancestors can't cross the sea, even if we use the power of the entire Yulong Continent and use blood and true energy to refine a golden elixir, how can we cross the sea?"
Elder Xiao didn't say anything, just stared behind Tian Lin.
Tian Lin felt something in his heart. When he turned around, he heard someone behind him say, "What our ancestors couldn't do may be possible for us today. Even if we can't do it today, we can still learn from it for future generations."
As the man spoke, he had already entered the fenced courtyard. As he passed by Tian Lin and Senior Brother Zhao, he nodded to the two people in charge of ceremonies.
"Hong'er, go make tea for your Grandpa Xing."
After Elder Xiao finished speaking, he looked at Xing Tongtian and said coldly, "Why are you coming to me instead of cultivating your blood true qi in Yuechi Mountain?"
"I heard from Junior Brother He that Junior Brother Xiao, do you have the formula for the Heart-Searching Pill?"
Elder Xiao was still sitting on the table, and replied coldly: "What if there is, what if there is not?"
Xing Tongtian turned to look at Tian Lin and asked, "Did your master contact you after he left?"
Tian Lin was being stared at by Xing Tongtian, and felt the tremendous pressure forcing him to bow his head.
He had no choice but to keep a straight face and force himself to remain calm, "Since the day my master left, I have not heard from him since then."
Xing Tongtian asked Tian Lin again, "Did your master pass on the formula of the Heart-Searching Pill to you?"
"The formula of the Heart-Searching Pill was given to me by Liu Xuanfeng - Xing Tongtian. Tian Lin is now the head disciple of my Baihua Peak. Even if you are the head of Yaoyue Sect, you cannot bully the people of my Baihua Peak at will."
With one palm strike from Elder Xiao, the stone table and the chessboard were all turned into dust.
Xiao Hong ran out of the room, her face full of worry.
“Don’t worry, Senior Brother Xiao. I am also the headmaster of Yaoyue Sect. I will not harm the younger generation of my sect for no reason.”
After Xing Tongtian finished speaking, he said to Xiao Hong, "Don't make Ah Hong's tea yet. I don't think your grandfather would welcome me to the mountain. You can come to Yuechi Mountain to play when you have time in the future."
After Xing Tongtian finished speaking, he bowed to Elder Xiao and left the courtyard.
Elder Xiao looked a little unhappy, and said to Tian Lin, "From now on, you should stay at Baihua Peak, and it's best not to run around."
Tian Lin couldn't help but ask, "Why is Sect Leader Xing so obsessed with my master?"
Elder Xiao frowned, then shook his head after a while and said:
"Your master and Xing Tongtian are both thoughtful people. I think Xing Tongtian wants to find your master because he is worried that your master will ruin his plans. In short, you should not go to the Dao Mountain during this period of time."
"Disciple thanks Peak Master for the reminder."
Tian Lin agreed verbally, but had other thoughts in his mind.
Perhaps he could get the protection of Elder Xiao by staying in Baihua Peak, but this would not only make him look guilty, but would also cause trouble for Elder Xiao.
In the final analysis, Yaoyue Sect is still Xing Tongtian's world, and Baihua Peak can never defeat Yuechi Mountain.
Besides, if Xing Tongtian wanted to cause trouble for me, there was no way I could escape.
I'm afraid that the people from the Law Enforcement Hall are already waiting for me at the foot of Baihua Peak, and the kitchen of Baihua Peak is also full of spies from the Law Enforcement Hall.
You can't hide after all. Do you want to live halfway up the mountain all your life without going down?
