Chapter 219: Ingredients for the Earthly Dharmakaya

"You don't need to comfort me. Life and death in the secret realm are unpredictable. Since he wants to enter the secret realm to search for treasure, he should be prepared to die."

After he finished speaking, the Taoist boy from the Taoist temple suddenly came over and said, "Elder, Elder Xiao Xue is here."

After hearing this, Elder Xue raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the Taoist temple.

When Tian Lin looked in the direction he was looking, he saw a couple walking in from outside the Taoist temple.

Tian Lin saw the shadow of Elder Xue in the middle-aged man.

His heart moved, and he guessed the identity of the couple, and roughly knew who that Senior Brother Xue was.

"Dad, Mastiff's soul lamp is out."

After Elder Xiao Xue finished speaking, his wife immediately knelt down and said, "Ao'er died in the secret realm, and even his soul was scattered. Please, father-in-law, make sure to avenge Ao'er."

"What nonsense are you talking about? There are so many wandering gods in the secret realm, who can we seek revenge on?"

Elder Xue glared at his wife, then looked at Elder Xue and said, "My son does not seek revenge for Ao Er. He only wants to bring his body back from the secret realm, so that he won't turn into a mummy in the secret realm and die in peace."

Elder Xue nodded and said, "Bring Ao'er's soul lamp with you, and I will take you into the secret realm."

The three of them were chatting, not intentionally excluding Tian Lin.

But Tian Lin knew that he could not help here, so he simply said something to the Taoist boy and then quietly left.

According to the teaching elder, the reason why the students in Class A and the inner disciples learn funeral studies is because only funeral studies can ensure people's survival in the secret realm.

In other words, starting from Class A disciples, they will enter the secret realm of the Wendao Sect to adventure.

Tian Lin is now a student in Class D, and even his chances of getting into Class C seem slim.

But his goal is definitely not to stay in Class D for the rest of his life.

Moreover, Elder Xue told him that only if he entered Class B would he help him settle the cause and effect with Zhaixingzi.

Tian Lin didn't want to risk his life with Zhaixingzi unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Although cold incense leaves are precious, they are not impossible to obtain. The most urgent task is to be admitted to Class C. I have a hint, and it should not be a problem to reach an upper-middle level in alchemy.

Now I only need to learn formation and talisman making. If I use Lengxiang leaves, it won’t be difficult to comprehend these two things.”

Class D's monthly exam was actually not difficult. Tian Lin believed that as long as he used the two packets of cold fragrance leaves given by Wang Yanyu, it would be enough for him to cope with this month's exam.

The most urgent task is to purchase engraved stones, calligraphy works, rubbings of inscriptions on monuments, etc.

The next day when he entered school, Tian Lin went straight to Zhou Jin and used Zhou Jin's connections to sell his three extra ferries and three bamboo poles for five hundred mid-grade spirit stones.

The calligraphy works and rubbings of inscriptions needed to learn the formation patterns did not include Hua Tianlin's spirit stones, because Zhou Jin had their own collection.

Tian Lin's money was basically spent on buying things like engraved formation stones, talisman paper, etc.

At night, he took the calligraphy and began to copy the characters.

However, the rune strokes are complex, and each stroke requires the use of true Qi to seal the spiritual consciousness in the talisman ink, and the spiritual consciousness must also be evenly distributed.

Tian Lin copied it by himself for half an hour, which not only consumed a huge amount of his spiritual energy, but also made the words he wrote crooked.

Several days passed like this, and Tian Lin hadn't made any progress in writing the characters.

He was now convinced, and finally resigned himself to using the power of the cold fragrance leaves to bring himself into a state of unity of mind and body.

After [Enlightenment Tea] entered his stomach, Tian Lin looked at the runes on the rubbings and calligraphy again, and felt that the runes on them became vivid.

Not only did he feel that these words were full of life, he could even understand the way "life" existed.

When he wrote again, Tian Lin's handwriting was still ugly, but no longer so rigid.

In the following half month, Tian Lin devoted all his time to learning runes and formations.

In just half a month, he had thoroughly mastered the most basic runes and formations that the elders had taught him during the day.

He was confident that he would get top marks in formation studies and literature in the exams at the end of the month.

The only thing Tian Lin himself was still a little unsure about was the study of alchemy.

He has eaten hundreds of spiritual herbs in the past half month and has memorized the clues of these herbs.

As long as I don’t feel dizzy during the end-of-month assessment, I should be able to cope with this month’s monthly exam.

"On the contrary, funeral studies, which is the easiest subject to pass, may lower my score."

The next afternoon, after the teaching elders left the academy, Zhou Jin found Tian Lin:

"Brother Ju Yunhai is back, so we have to welcome him back. So Brother Tian doesn't have to go home for dinner. Just come to my cave. I have asked the servants to prepare the food."

Tian Lin always felt that Zhou Jin had a strong purpose in looking for him, but his reasons were very legitimate and it was difficult for him to refuse.

Besides, Zhou Jin had been nice to me from the beginning, so I couldn't turn against him just because I was afraid that he had some ulterior motives.

"Brother, you go ahead. I'll go back and take a shower, then I'll come back to see you."

After saying goodbye to Zhou Jin, Tian Lin took Yu'er back to the cave.

He was not busy taking a bath, but counted out four copper coins from his storage bag. Tian Lin knew that these copper coins were very valuable, and in the Dao Sect, one copper coin could be sold for fifty high-quality spirit stones.

I have never been willing to sell it, and now I have to give it as a gift. It really hurts.

But in the past half month, the inscriptions, calligraphy and French texts Zhou Jin provided me with really helped me a lot.

Moreover, he was also reminding himself that Senior Brother Zhuang's favor was not easy to receive - it would be best to repay this favor during this visit.

"Do you have a box for copper coins at home? I'm going to visit Senior Brother Zhou's house later, and I don't want to go empty-handed."

Tian Lin gave the four copper coins to Yu'er and went to take a bath.

Zhou Jin's cave is at No. Bing 72, which is far away from Tian Lin's cave.

When Tian Lin arrived at the cave, Zhou Jin was already standing at the door of cave number C72, holding a sword.

The man holding the sword bowed to Tian Lin and said, "Mr. Tian, ​​please come in. My son has gone to look for Master Ju."

Tian Lin followed the man holding the sword into the house. When he was looking at Cave No. 72, Zhou Jin's laughter suddenly rang out from the cave entrance:

"Brother Tian, ​​you don't need to look. There is no difference between our caves. You have never been to Brother Ju's cave. His cave is spacious and beautiful."

When Tian Lin turned around, he saw Ju Yunhai and Zhou Jin walking in together.

When Tian Lin was saluting the two, Ju Yunhai also returned the salute to Tian Lin. Ju Yunhai said:
"Don't say anything. When it comes to cave dwellings, the cave dwellings of Class A disciples are the best. Only Class A disciples can enjoy the benefits brought by the spirit gathering array."

As the three of them were talking, they sat down at the stone table, and the man holding the sword began to order the dishes to be served.

Zhou Jin began to pour wine for Ju Yunhai, and then poured a glass for Tian Lin. He raised his glass and said, "This glass is to congratulate Senior Brother Ju for his safe return."

Ju Yunhai drank some wine and said, "I am a little envious of the students in your C and D classes now. They don't have to go out to do assessment tasks every month."

Zhou Jin heard this and joked, "That's easy. Senior Brother Ju really envies us, so he deliberately fails the test. Then, we can go to Class C together and become students."

Ju Yunhai smiled when he heard this: "From what Junior Brother Zhou said, you are fully confident that you can get into Class C in this month's exam?"

Zhou Jin drank a cup proudly and said with a smile:
"In the Dinggui class, except for Junior Sister Wang Yanyu, the rest of the people are not a concern. I am absolutely sure that I can fight for one of the two places."

After hearing this, Ju Yunhai looked at Tian Lin and asked, "Junior Brother Tian, ​​what about you?"

Tian Lin's face remained calm. He thought that Zhou Jin had already said what he wanted to say, so what else could he say?

"I just enrolled not long ago, so I don't think much about the rest. I can only try my best not to disappoint the teaching elder and the two senior brothers."

Ju Yunhai nodded and said, "You don't have to worry. The road to cultivation is long and it is not something that can be done overnight. In the future, when you enter Class C, you will have to take the exam to Class B. Only when you become a disciple of Class A can you be considered a true disciple of the Dao Sect."

"Class A?"

Zhou Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "How difficult is it to get into Class A? There are countless disciples in the Dao Sect, but only a few in Class A?"

The teachers of Class A disciples are generally elders at the Nascent Soul stage.

Those who can become disciples in Class A will surely succeed in forming the elixir as long as they survive.

"There are actually quite a few disciples in Class A, but there are more who have died in the secret realm over the years."

Ju Yunhai sighed and said, "It was only when I went out to do the assessment mission this time that I realized how terrifying the secret realm is."

Tian Lin glanced at Ju Yunhai and said, "I see that Senior Brother is in a state of confusion and has a lot of negative energy. It looks like he has been hit by a very powerful evil spirit."

After hearing this, Ju Yunhai and Zhou Jin looked at Tian Lin in surprise.

Zhou Jin had heard of Ju Yunhai's experience, so he knew that Ju Yunhai had been possessed by evil spirits.

But Tian Lin just came over and didn't hear anything, but he could see everything with his eyes. What kind of unique ability is this?

"Junior brother, you have a keen eye. I have indeed encountered an evil spirit. Fortunately, the evil spirit I encountered this time is not very strong, otherwise I might not be able to come back to see you."

Tian Lin was a little bit incredulous when he heard this: "It's broad daylight, and the Northern Wilderness is ruled by the Daodao Sect and the Xiangxi Sect. What kind of evil spirit dares to cause trouble?"

After hearing this, Ju Yunhai laughed:

"The Northern Wasteland is so vast, and there are city god temples and Taoist temples left over from ancient dynasties everywhere. These city god temples and Taoist temples have been unworshipped for many years. Won't they become evil spirits after a long time?

The evil spirit I ran into this time was a fake City God. This fake City God is not far from the level of Sun Wandering God. If I didn’t have enough magic weapons, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to deal with him.”

He told Tian Lin and Ju Yunhai about his experience and finally came to a conclusion:

"It seems that it is extremely necessary for the sect to let disciples learn funeral science. Not to mention that it can be used to escape from the secret realm, but it can also be used to deal with such evil spirits when we encounter them when we go down the mountain in the future."

A few people raised their glasses again, and the food had been served by then.

Looking at the food on the table, Ju Yunhai smiled and said, "All the dishes on this table are my favorites. It seems that Junior Brother Zhou has put a lot of thought into it for me."

Zhou Jin smiled and said, "These are just worthless things. Why are you being polite to me, Senior Brother Ju? By the way, Junior Brother Tian, ​​you must tell me what you like to eat. Next time we have dinner, I can help you prepare it."

Tian Lin was not polite either. He pointed at one of the dishes and said, "I've never eaten this before, so I don't know if it's expensive or not."

Half a month later, he finally saw an ingredient that could be used to cultivate the Earth-walking Dharma Body.
