Chapter 204: Showing off at home
Chapter 204: Showing off at home
He and his two servants didn't chat with Master Long Dan for long before Master Long Dan gave them a bottle of bone-growing pill and allowed them to say goodbye and leave.
When Tian Lin returned home, he saw Xiang'er standing at the gate of her house with a sad face.
I don’t know what she was afraid of, but when she saw Tian Lin, she immediately hid in the alley.
But Tian Lin's spiritual awareness is no longer what it used to be, and her little tricks made Tian Lin alert.
Tian Lin scanned his house with his spiritual consciousness and found nothing unusual.
He then directed his spiritual consciousness to Gao He's house. On the big bed in Gao He's house, Rong Gongsheng's body stiffened.
Tian Lin, who was passing by Gao He's courtyard, suddenly realized what was going on and then he withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
Yu'er opened the door and saw Tian Lin frowning. She asked Cui'er to get some hot water, then she brought the water and the bone-growing pills and asked Tian Lin:
"Does your shoulder hurt?"
Tian Lin waved his intact left hand and said, "Go down and prepare some tea. We may have guests coming over soon."
Yu'er didn't know which guest was so idle. He didn't show up when Tian Lin got into trouble, but he came quickly now.
The two sisters didn't ask any more questions and left the house.
Tian Lin was thinking about what Elder Qiu said. She said that there were many people in the world who chanted the name of Nine-Life Immortal and painted the name of Nine-Life Immortal, but Nine-Life Immortal did not have the time to go around looking for people.
So to speak, I was an example of someone who was shown 'special favor' by the Nine-Life Immortal.
Tian Lin glanced at the bone-growing pill on the table, but it had no effect in repairing his injuries.
Fortunately, his body has a strong self-healing ability. When Xing Tongtian broke his neck, he recovered with the help of his self-healing ability.
Elder Qiu crushed his shoulder blade, which would be an irreversible injury for an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, but it did not have such a big impact on him.
It's just the pain of broken bones, which is heart-wrenching.
If I cannot reach the Nascent Soul stage in my lifetime, then there is no need to even think about revenge.
If you can reach the Nascent Soul stage——
Tian Lin raised his head from his deep thoughts and saw Yu'er walking in and said, "Master, Rong Gongsheng is here."
Tian Lin put down the cup and said in a strange tone, "Mr. Rong? This is a rare guest."
Rong Gongsheng walked in from outside, bowed to Tian Lin, and said with a slightly lowered body:
"Just now I heard that Fellow Daoist Tian escaped from the hands of the white-clothed woman on the pleasure boat, so I came here to congratulate you."
Tian Lin waited for Rong Gongfeng to sit down, waved his hand to let Yu'er leave, and sneered: "Rong Gongfeng, you are joking. You came to congratulate me, why did you end up on Cai Shu's bed?"
Rong Gongfeng thought to himself that it was true.
He had noticed that he was being spied on before, and after asking Xiang'er he heard that Tian Lin had returned, so he guessed that it was Tian Lin who was spying on him, and that's why he ran over.
Now that Tian Lin had exposed his past, he immediately stood up and said:
"Don't be offended, Fellow Daoist Tian. Although Gao He is your sworn brother, Cai Shu and I are willing to do this.
Besides, Fellow Daoist Gao himself is well aware of this matter, as he was the one who voluntarily gave up the house.”
Tian Lin was dumbfounded, and listened to Rong Gongfeng's explanation:
"When Fellow Daoist Gao He went to the sea to kill evil spirits, he spent a lot of spirit stones on magic weapons and elixirs to deal with them. Now the debt is getting bigger and bigger, and he knows he can't pay it back, so he uses spirit stones to pay off the debt."
Tian Lin frowned upon hearing this and said, "If I remember correctly, he has accumulated quite a few Soul Gathering Orbs. Once these Soul Gathering Orbs are sold, they can be exchanged for quite a few Spiritual Stones, right?"
After hearing what Tian Lin said, Rong Gongfeng shook his head:
"How can he bear to sell the Soul Gathering Orb that he saved with his life? Why not use it to exchange for the status of a menial disciple from the Shuiyun Sect—"
Tian Lin knew that all the immortal sects in Cangzhou had menial disciples. For example, Zhou Qing used to be a menial disciple of the Wendao Sect.
But even for menial disciples, talent must be considered. It is also because of this that there are so many Huahualangs in the foundation-building stage in Cangzhou who become the worshippers of the Jindan family.
But what Tian Lin found ridiculous was that the identity of a errand disciple of Shuiyun Sect was so sweet that he would sell out his wife instead of doing anything that could earn money.
"Fellow Daoist Tian, I came here this time to ask you if you are interested in being a menial disciple of Shuiyun Sect? I think with your strength and talent, Shuiyun Sect is willing to accept you even if you don't want the Soul Gathering Pearl."
Tian Lin had worked as a menial disciple in the Yaoyue Sect and knew that menial disciples had a humble status.
He had the opportunity to become an outer disciple of the Wendao Sect, so why did he end up being a menial disciple of the Shuiyun Sect?
"From what Brother Rong said, you want to buy my Soul Gathering Pearl?"
Rong Gongfeng laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Tian, you may not know that the Gongfeng of the Tong family are all trying to gather soul beads to fight for the opportunity to become the menial disciple of the Shuiyun Sect.
This is a rare opportunity. After all, Shuiyun Sect has not recruited outsiders for menial disciples for a thousand years."
Tian Lin understood Rong Gongfeng's meaning.
Those outer disciples who want to become menial disciples of Shuiyun Sect must buy the Soul Gathering Pearls.
These Hua Hualangs who do not have enough Soul Gathering Beads are willing to pay any premium for this opportunity.
This is indeed a good opportunity to earn spirit stones.
Although Tian Lin also wanted spirit stones, he had already saved up enough money to teleport to the Northern Wilderness.
Compared to the spirit stone, he wanted to use the soul-gathering bead to exchange for the Tianyishengshui Jue of Shuiyun Sect. Mei Xiangu said she would help him, but she didn't say she would help him for free.
Moreover, if the Soul Gathering Pearl was not used, Fairy Mei might not have the face to allow the Shuiyun Sect to pass on the sect's magical powers to an outsider like her.
"Don't bother talking about the Soul Gathering Orb. It will be of great use to me."
Tian Lin said this in a vague way, and Rong Gongfeng understood and said, "That's right. With your strength, Fellow Daoist Tian, you may be able to compete for the position of outer disciple."
Although he said this, he must have disagreed with Tian Lin's idea in his heart.
Tian Lin refused to let Rong Gongfeng go, and said coldly: "Gao He is a person I despise. I don't care what kind of deal he made with you. But you two men, forcing a good woman into prostitution, isn't it too much?"
Actually, what does this have to do with him?
But Tian Lin knew Rong Gongfeng too well, and he always bullied the weak and feared the strong.
When he was 'picked up' by the ferryman, he immediately snatched his soul-gathering bead from his maid.
Now that he had been 'taken away' by the Sun God, although he had not taken action, he was definitely watching.
Tian Lin suspected that he came to Gao He to have an affair, but he really came here to monitor Yu'er and her sisters.
After all, who knows if the Yuer sisters have their own inheritance?
"Fellow Daoist Tian, please don't misunderstand. Fairy Cai is a foundation-building cultivator. If she is unwilling, who among us can force her?"
Rong Gongfeng said: "Before the evil spirit happened, they were a loving couple. But since the evil spirit happened and Shuiyun Sect had a quota for inner disciples, the two of them have been estranged.
You have to know that with their initial foundation building level, how could they compete with others? So they had long thought that the couple would work together and only one of them would be allowed to enter the sect.
But if the couple work together, who will become the outer disciple? Who can guarantee that the outer disciple will not betray the other in the future? The rift between them has already been established, and they are dragged down by debts in the future. They are simply fed up with each other. "
Tian Lin was speechless for a moment. He was too lazy to care about the affairs between other couples and had no right to comment.
But he didn't call you Brother Gao for nothing.
"Back then, I was close friends with him and his wife—"
After saying this, Tian Lin smashed the table with a bang, scaring Rong Gongfeng.
When Rong Gongfeng looked up at Tian Lin, Tian Lin stood up straight and looked at Rong Gongfeng and said, "Did you come to my door today to show off to me?"
Rong Gongfeng was about to cry, not knowing where Tian Lin's anger came from.
"I just came to congratulate Fellow Daoist Tian. How can I be considered to be showing off?"
Cui Er heard the noise and came forward with a sword in hand. Although she didn't know what happened, she sneered when she heard Rong Gongfeng say this:
"Since you came to congratulate me, why didn't you even bring a gift?"
She has always been sharp-tongued, so this statement seemed inappropriate.
Yu'er, who followed over, glared at her sister in dissatisfaction, thinking that her sister had brought shame to Tian Lin.
But Tian Lin said nothing, while Rong Gongfeng next to him suddenly realized.
He reached into his storage bag and five small formation flags instantly appeared in his hand.
He held up the formation flag and presented it to Tian Lin, saying, "I see that you are living in this bustling city and it is hard to find some peace and quiet. Here is a small formation to protect your house and block people's prying eyes.
I have wanted to give this to Fellow Daoist Tian for a long time, but I have never found the opportunity. Fortunately, Miss Cui'er mentioned it, otherwise I would have almost forgotten it. "
However, Tian Lin refused to take the battle flag, and Rong Gongfeng thought that Tian Lin thought it was too little.
He was shocked and angry. He had been "blackmailed" by Tian Lin before. Now the flag in his hand was the most valuable thing.
Fortunately, Yu'er understood Tian Lin's thoughts and took the battle flag and said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Rong. My Taoist master is just in a bad mood today. His anger is not entirely directed at you."
Seeing his battle flag being taken away by Yu'er, Rong Gongfeng was heartbroken.
Unless Tian Lin returns the battle flag to him now, he will not believe Yu'er's lies.
"Since Fellow Daoist Tian is not available now, I will come to visit you another day!"
He bowed and left the house with a heart full of hatred.
Only at this time did Yu'er hand the battle flag to Tian Lin.
Tian Lin collected the flag and asked Yu'er, "Tell me, Elder Qiu injured my shoulder blade, should I hate her?"
Before Yu'er could say anything, Cui'er said, "How can I not hate her? Those disciples and elders of the immortal sect always look down on others. If she were not an elder of the immortal sect, someone would have sought revenge on her long ago."
Tian Lin didn't say anything, but he agreed in his heart.
He felt very uncomfortable with Elder Qiu. If he could reach the level of Nascent Soul one day, how could he not take revenge?
But in the same way, Rong Gongsheng was blackmailed by himself twice in a row, although there were reasons for each time.
But in the other party's eyes, he suffered a loss at his hands, so how could he not hate himself?
It would be fine if the other party had not thought about joining Shuiyun Sect as a menial disciple, but since the other party was determined, he had a good chance of becoming a menial disciple of Shuiyun Sect.
So if one day the other party reaches the Golden Core stage, won’t he want to take revenge on himself?
