Chapter 172 Soul Collection Orb

As soon as it was light, Yu'er brought hot water to Tianlin's door.

At that time, Tian Lin was practicing the Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill. After hearing the noise outside the door, he sat quietly for another half a minute, and only opened his eyes after the medicinal effects in his body were completely absorbed.

It is not easy to practice the Buddha and Demon Freedom Art. According to the normal way of practice, one has to save some money to buy an expensive pill, and most of the time one has to rely on one's own understanding of this magical skill.

But Tian Lin was different. Although he was also very poor, he had no shortage of "Buddha Demon Pills".

During this period of time, apart from fishing, he was taking pills and practicing.

I think it won’t take long before I can achieve some minor success in the Buddha and Demon Freedom Art.

Yu'er outside the door didn't knock, but Tian Lin still got up from the bed.

He opened the door and waited for Yu'er to put the basin on the washbasin rack before going forward to wash her face.

Yu Er stood behind Tian Lin and said to him:

"It seems that Taoist Master Gao and Fairy Cai next door have already left. After Taoist Master washed his face and had breakfast, he rushed to the old house to listen to the meeting of the great elders."

Tian Lin did not comment. He followed Yu'er's instructions and went to the old house after eating breakfast porridge, intending to attend the entire "meeting."

At this time, five or six members of the Tong family had gathered in the main hall of the old house to offer sacrifices.

When Tian Lin came over, not only Gao He and Cai Shu had arrived, but even Master Long Dan, who had always been hiding in the alchemy room, had also arrived.

Among these six priests, Tian Lin only recognized the three neighbors of Gao He and the priest Rong who was a weapon refiner.

Rong Gongsheng sat below Master Long Dan, and there was a chair above the two of them, on which sat a calm middle-aged man.

But since this middle-aged man could rank ahead of Master Long Dan and Master Rong, Tian Lin guessed that the other party was quite powerful.

Among the many worshippers, the most important thing is their cultivation strength, followed by their status and position.

Tian Lin was a fisherman who had just established his foundation not long ago, so naturally he had neither strength nor a good status.

He sat down below Gao He, waiting for the servants from the old house to serve him tea.

The group of people boasted to each other for a while, and soon two or three more servants from the Tong family came over.

The most popular among them is Zhou Shoufan, who changed his name to "Xing Bufan".

Zhou Shoufan was the only one in the middle stage of foundation building among the worshippers present. In the main hall, apart from Master Long Dan who was still sitting on a chair, even Tian Lin followed the crowd and came up to Zhou Shoufan to "fawn on" him.

"Brother Xing is so young, but it is rare that he can build a five-element foundation and cultivate a five-element Dharma body.

Let alone Pingyang City, even in the entire Tianbei County, apart from the Thirteenth Young Master, there are not many people with the ability of Brother Xing, right?"

Cai Shu's chest was pressed against Zhou Shoufan, but her husband Gao He didn't care. Instead, he stood beside her, stroking his beard and nodding with a smile.

Tian Lin didn't expect that Gao He's wife was such a talkative person.

He met Cai Shu twice, and she always looked cold and silent.

Tian Lin thought that was just her personality, but only today did he realize that he was wrong.

“Achieving the Five Elements Dharmakāya depends entirely on elixirs, but achieving the Dharmakāya is difficult.”

After Zhou Shoufan finished speaking, he looked at the old man who had been sitting above Master Long Dan:
"Fellow Daoist Li, how many of the Three Paths of Dharmakaya have you achieved now?"

Li Gongfu sighed and said, "I am ashamed to say that I am already old and I can only cultivate the water and fire Dharma bodies."

Zhou Shoufan heard this and encouraged him, "Then it's just that your Golden Dharmakaya has not been cultivated to perfection. There's no need to rush."

Li Gongfeng said in distress: "It is because this golden body has been holding me back for too long. It is because the golden essence pills I need to practice the "Golden Essence Technique" are too expensive.

If I were cultivating the Golden God Technique, I would have cultivated a Golden Dharmakaya with the help of the Golden God Pill. Although it is still not as good as Daoist Brother Zhou's Five Elements Dharmakaya, I have already reached the middle stage of the Three Elements Dharmakaya Foundation Establishment. "

"Master Li, there is no need to sigh. You are only about 200 years old now. Sooner or later, you will be able to cultivate the Three Paths Dharmakaya."

Cai Shu stepped forward again and pushed her chest towards Li Gongfeng.

Among the people present, she was the only nun, so everyone was very tolerant of her.

When everyone was chatting animatedly, suddenly a servant from the Tong family said, "The great elder is here."

Everyone turned around and saluted the Great Elder who was striding over. Even Master Long Dan, who had been sitting in a daze, stood up at this moment.

The Great Elder nodded to a few others and strode to sit in the main seat.

He glanced around at the people present, and waited until everyone was seated before saying, "I'm sure you've heard about the ghost fog coming south from Chenxian Pond, right?"

Li Gongfeng below nodded and spoke first:

"Two days ago, I went to Shanghai with Feng Gongfeng from the Hebo Office to investigate. The fog seemed to come from the sea outside Chenxiantang.

As far as I know, Cangzhou and Chenxiantang were once connected to the Yulong Continent. I wonder if this ghost fog came from the Yulong Continent?"

After he asked the question, Tian Lin, who was sitting below and no one was paying attention to him, raised his head and glanced at him, but glanced at Zhou Shoufan out of the corner of his eye.

Zhou Shoufan had a blank expression on his face and no one knew what he was thinking.

Gao He said, "There has been no news from Yulong Continent for nearly a thousand years, it's even a question whether it still exists.

Even if Yulong Continent is still there, this ghost fog cannot be released by the small island of Yulong Continent. "At this time, Zhou Shoufan nodded and said concisely: "In my opinion, it is further south of Yulong Continent."

Yulong Continent is further south, and it is said that even Yuanying cannot cross it.

No one knows what lies further south—

"Where the ghost fog came from is certainly not something we should worry about.

I am looking for you today to ask you to go to Chenxiantang and destroy those resentful spirits when you are free, so that they will not harm the people of Pingyang City."

At this time, Master Long was the first to speak: "I need to make pills, how can I have time to deal with these trivial matters?"

Although the others did not speak, they all expressed their negative attitude towards the matter.

The Great Elder was obviously well prepared and said directly:
"Resisting the resentful spirits of Shenxiantang is not only the business of my Tong family, but also the requirement of Shuiyun Sect."

He said, "Everyone, if you want to become an outer disciple of Shuiyun Sect, then perform well. Just like you, Li Gongfeng, if you become an outer disciple of Shuiyun Sect, would you still be afraid of not having Golden Essence Pills to eat?"

Li Gongfeng stood up and looked at the Great Elder in disbelief: "Is the Immortal Sect willing to accept us as outer disciples?"

The Great Elder shook his head and said, “The Shuiyun Sect wants to accept those who have made contributions at sea as outer disciples.

To tell you the truth, the Thirteenth Young Master was called back by our ancestor not for the Dharma Pill, but for the opportunity to become an outer disciple this time."

He looked at the excited crowd and took out a bead from his sleeve:

"This is a soul-collecting bead, a bead used to collect residual souls. It will record your harvest at sea.

From now on, you will hand in the Soul Gathering Orb every six months. Based on the number of residual souls in the Soul Gathering Orb, three people will be selected to enter the Shuiyun Sect for the trial. Once the trial is successful, you can become the outer disciples of the Shuiyun Sect."

His words were so inflammatory that even Master Long Dan couldn't help but look conflicted.

Tian Lin couldn't help but ask the Great Elder at this time: "Shuiyun Sect can rely on the number of residual souls in the Soul Gathering Pearl to determine the ranking, but how to distinguish the residual souls in the Soul Gathering Pearl from the residual souls on Shenxian Pond?"

Li Gongfeng also echoed Tian Lin and said:
“The Soul Gathering Orb was originally used by soul cultivators to collect residual souls, and soul cultivators often buy and sell residual souls in the market.

I am afraid that by then, someone will buy a residual soul from a soul cultivator and pretend it is the residual soul from Shenxiantang to commit crimes."

The Great Elder said: "Don't worry about this matter. Pingyang City will ban the sale of Soul Gathering Orbs and residual souls from now on."

His words did not reassure the people present, but made them even more worried.

In the entire Pingyang City, the most powerful family is the Tong family.

The Tong family naturally has the ability to crack down on those who buy and sell resentful souls privately, but who can prevent the Tong family from cheating in the private buying and selling of resentful souls?
Tian Lin did not have much expectation about entering Shuiyun Sect. He was thinking that if he could really buy and sell resentful souls, he would not necessarily have to go fishing to earn spirit stones.

The vengeful spirits are terrifying, but he is a foundation-building cultivator. As long as he doesn't encounter wandering gods, there should be no risk.

"Everyone, let's end today's matter here. Anyone who wants to go to Chenxiantang to kill the resentful spirits can come up and get the Soul Gathering Pearl."

After the great elder finished speaking, Tian Lin stepped forward first.

This collection of soul beads is free of charge, who would refuse to take it for free?

But he soon discovered that Master Long Dan did not step forward to take the Soul Gathering Pearl. Instead, after the show was over, Master Long Dan simply turned away.

Tian Lin followed with great strides and asked Master Long Dan, "Why didn't Fellow Daoist Long take the Soul Gathering Pearl?"

Master Long Dan snorted coldly, "I am only good at refining pills, but fighting is not my forte; although the identity of an outer disciple of Shuiyun Sect is very tempting, I still won't go to Shenxiantang to join in the fun."

Master Long Dan was aloof by nature. He only said this and did not speak to Tian Lin again on the way.

When Tian Lin returned to the house, he told Yu'er and the others about today's meeting. Yu'er said happily:

"If that's the case, Cui'er and I can help you, Master."

Normally, Bao Jian would always be by his master's side, but Tian Lin didn't want his secret to be exposed in front of the two of them.

"The resentful spirits in Shenxiantang are very powerful, and your cultivation is too low. I'm afraid that when the resentful spirits find you at sea, you won't even know where they are."

Yu'er really thought Tian Lin was worried about their safety, and immediately said:
"Master, you don't know that there is a special kind of talisman that can open the eyes to deal with resentful spirits. Once the eyes are opened, even mortals can see resentful spirits."

Cui Er, who had not spoken to Tian Lin for a long time because of her crime, also said:

"It just so happens that Master Gao and Fairy Cai live next door to us. They are both talisman makers. We can buy some talisman paper from them. Maybe we can get it cheaper."

Wealth, companions, Dharma and land, at this time the word "companion" seems to appear.

But Tian Lin still shook his head:
"Even if you can see the ghosts, what can you do? You can't even project your spiritual consciousness, let alone have any magic to exorcise evil spirits. I'm afraid that once you go to Shenxiantang, you won't be able to save your own lives."

After hearing what Tian Lin said, Cui Er couldn't help but said:
"But if the two of us don't help, how many residual souls can you collect by yourself? How can you compete with those who are carrying swords and have higher cultivation?"

Tian Lin heard this and said calmly: "One of the places for collecting residual souls to become an outer disciple of Shuiyun Sect this time must be for Young Master Thirteen.

The other one will most likely be given to the son or daughter of the Tong family. As for us, we are here to accompany the prince to study, so we don’t have to hold out any expectations.”

Tian Lin said this, but Zhou Shoufan's figure appeared in his mind.

He estimated that if Zhou Shoufan wanted to fight to the death, the thirteenth young master of the Tong family might not be able to defeat Zhou Shoufan even with the support of his family.

But I don’t know whether Zhou Shoufan is interested in becoming an outer disciple of Shuiyun Sect.
