Chapter 223 The toad wants to eat swan meat
After the meal, it was already three o'clock in the morning when Tian Lin returned to his cave.

He finally came to his senses now. Zhou Jin invited him to dinner not only to get closer to him, but more importantly to introduce him to Zhou Mengjiao.

But it was obvious that his sister didn't seem to be that interested in Tian Lin, or perhaps his sister looked down on Tian Lin.

Tian Lin even felt that after he asked about the "Vajra Subduing Demons Skill", although Zhou Jin was still enthusiastic about him, he no longer wanted him to be his brother-in-law.

"Without auxiliary elixirs, unless one is a truly extraordinary genius, it would take decades to build a top-grade Five Elements Dharmakaya. Zhou Jin is optimistic about me simply because he thinks I am young.

But if I wait until I am thirty or forty years old to achieve the middle stage of foundation building, what potential will I have? So, he blamed me for being too ambitious and didn’t want me to be his brother-in-law. "

Although Tian Lin envied the Zhou family's wealth, even if he had to be a gigolo, he would find a gigolo who could live off his wealth.

Zhou Mengjiao seemed to be a bit cold and looked down on me, so I'd better not force myself to lick her.

The next morning, Tian Lin, who had just been promoted to Class C, was not in a hurry to report to Class C-E.

As usual, he went to Elder Xue's place and happened to meet Ju Yunhai who was also at Elder Xue's place.

Tian Lin and Ju Yunhai bowed, and Elder Xue put down the ox horn in his hand and said, "I have heard from your teaching elder that you have made rapid progress. It only took one month to improve the five subjects to the 'top' level."

Before Tian Lin could show his modesty, Elder Xue said:

"This may be because your teaching elder wants to curry favor with me, but my real intention is to let you improve your strength down to earth so that you can give an explanation to Elder Yu in the future.

So, did you do well in this monthly exam and live up to the evaluation of the teaching elders?"

Tian Lin said: "My knowledge of funeral and formation should be above average. As for swordsmanship, talisman making and alchemy, I believe I am not inferior to anyone in Class Dinggui."

Elder Xue nodded. "I guess your teaching elder wouldn't dare to exaggerate even if he wanted to curry favor with me. So it seems that you have made great progress in the past month.

But you must not be proud and complacent, you must know that there are many people with higher talents than you. Not to mention the distant past, just take Zhaixingzi, who is one year younger than you, for example. It only takes a snap of a finger for him to advance to the late stage of foundation building.

But he deliberately suppressed his own cultivation, which shows that he has great ambitions. "

Tian Lin's heart trembled. Elder Xue knew that Zhaixingzi was Tian Lin's "shadow", so he used Zhaixingzi's name to suppress him.

But it must be said that Elder Xue's trick was very effective, and Tian Lin was really afraid of Zhaixingzi.

"Since you have been promoted to Class C, you will be transferred to a new cave, and your monthly allowance will also be increased. If you want to be promoted to Class B, you must find a way to improve your cultivation.

In the early stages of foundation building, it is still too weak. "

Tian Lin performed the ceremony again, and Elder Xue waved his hand and asked him and Ju Yunhai to leave.

After they left the Taoist temple, Ju Yunhai first bowed and congratulated Tian Lin, saying, "When a scholar has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes. Junior brother has now entered Class C, and I think he will be able to join Class B and study with me soon."

"Then let me borrow my senior brother's good words."

Tian Lin changed the subject and said, "When I met Elder Xue this time, I saw that he seemed to have aged by more than ten years. I don't know why."

Ju Yunhai sighed and said, "In order to find Senior Brother Xue's body, Elder Xue fought a fierce battle with the evil spirit in the secret realm, so he was injured. However, the elder will be able to recover from this injury after a while, but it's a pity for Senior Brother Xue."

Tian Lin didn't know much about the so-called Senior Brother Xue, and he didn't want to know more from Ju Yunhai.

He waited for Ju Yunhai to go to the storage yard to get the cave's doorplate, and then went to cave number C 43.

"There is actually not much difference between the D and C caves. The only difference is that the cave is wider, and the earth dragon and the alchemy room are better. When you can live in the cave of the Class B students, you will know what a man-made blessed land is."

Ju Yunhai was not boasting about his good residence, but to encourage Tian Lin.

But in fact, Tian Lin did not need a spirit gathering array to practice. He directly drank the jade liquid, which was hundreds of times faster than practicing with a spirit gathering array.

But Tian Lin doesn't need it, but Yu'er and her sisters need it very much.

The two men looked at Tian Lin walking in front of them with shining eyes, and began to imagine when they would live in Class B's cave.

"I heard that the cave of Class A can lead directly to the secret realm."

Zhou Jin smiled: "Junior brother, you should first improve your cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building, and then consider living in the cave of Class A. I see that you have practiced the five gates of the left way well, but as Elder Xue said, if you want to enter Class B, you must improve your cultivation.

Senior brother, I would like to ask, how is the construction of the Five Elements Dharmakaya going?"

Tian Lin did not hide anything and repeated what he had talked about with Zhou Jin yesterday.

Ju Yunhai nodded. After Yu'er and her sister had packed up, he asked Tian Lin if he needed anything else and then left.

Not long after Ju Yunhai left, a voice came from the entrance of the cave: "Is Junior Brother Tian home?"

Tian Lin took the jade token and released the restriction at the door, only to see a young man standing outside.

The young man bowed to Tian Lin and said, "I am Zhang Zhao, No. 74, Class C. I am currently studying in Class C-E."

Tian Lin hurriedly bowed to the young man, then invited him into the house: "My house is very simple, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Brother Zhang." Zhang Zhao handed the box in his hand to Cui'er, then came into the house.

After Yu'er had made the tea, he spoke up, "Although I'm in Class C-Wu, I've heard of Junior Brother Tian's name. Junior Brother Tian, ​​are you familiar with Elder Jin?"

After hearing this, Tian Lin frowned.

The so-called Elder Jin is the teaching elder of Class Dinggui.

"Elder Jin is my master. There is no one in Class Dinggui who is not familiar with Elder Jin."

Tian Lin said: "Just like you, Senior Brother Zhang, aren't you familiar with Elder Gao?"

Zhang Zhao laughed and said, "Junior Brother Tian, ​​you are joking. I have been in Class C-Wu for more than two years. How could I not be familiar with Elder Gao? Junior Brother, please don't misunderstand me. I am not mocking you for using connections.

In the final analysis, cultivation is all about family background and connections. The so-called wealth, friends, Dharma, and land are all about family background and connections, while talent is insignificant. "

Tian Lin felt that Zhang Zhao came here just to make enemies, but he found that Zhang Zhao did not intend to mock him in his words.

Obviously, the other party really thinks that being able to get into Class C by cheating is a normal and proud thing.

"Brother, how did you hear that I am very familiar with Elder Jin? I have only been in the Taoist sect for more than a month, so I shouldn't be so famous."

Zhang Zhao said: "Junior brother, you will be in Class C-Wu in the future, so Class C-Wu will naturally know your background. Zhang also heard from other students in this class that Junior Brother Tian has a great background, so he couldn't help but come to visit out of curiosity.

As for who spread the news, Zhang guessed that it was probably Wang Yanyu?"

Tian Lin was speechless. It seemed that Zhang Zhao was making it clear that he came to make friends with Tian Lin because he was optimistic about Tian Lin's background.

But Tian Lin’s only background is Elder Yu, and he has no other background besides that.

"Senior Sister Wang shouldn't be the kind of person who spreads gossip. Besides, Tian's admission to Class C is a result of his real talent and learning. It's definitely not Elder Jin's intention to protect him."

Tian Lin picked up the teacup and said to Yu'er, "Senior Brother Zhang is drunk. Yu'er, please escort him out of the house for me."

Zhang Zhao said: "I was drinking tea, how can I get drunk? Junior brother is really a joker."

Tian Lin said coldly, "It was Senior Brother Zhang who made the joke first, right? Senior Brother Zhang made fun of me, but he made fun of Elder Jin's reputation. If the sect investigates it in the future, wouldn't that harm Elder Jin?"

He made it clear that he was sending him away. Zhang Zhao felt insulted, but he still chose to leave the cave.

As soon as Zhang Zhao left, Cui Er couldn't help but say, "Master hasn't even entered Class C yet, but they've already started to spread rumors. I think it was probably that Wang Yanyu - she was determined to get into Class C, but she didn't expect that Master was more capable than her and took her place, so she took revenge."

Tian Lin waved his hand. He felt that it was more likely that Zhao Tong was the one spreading the rumor.

Rather than spreading rumors to throw mud at himself, Zhao Tong was more likely to take revenge on Elder Jin.

After all, this guy had a history of contradicting Elder Jin in person, and he was a complete reckless man.

"Master, do you think the sect will question you about this matter?"

The Yu'er sisters were somewhat worried, and they themselves doubted Tian Lin's ability.

After all, Tian Lin had only been in school for a month or so, and he didn't seem like someone who could get into Class C based on his talent.

"The clear will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. I was allowed to enter Class C by Elder Xue. If the sect wants to investigate, it will definitely have to get Elder Xue's consent. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Tian Lin felt that the rumors had little impact on him, but they might have some impact on Elder Jin.

It seems that if Elder Jin wants to make progress, he must perform well in Class C and prove that he is not just a fill-in-the-blank to clear Elder Jin's suspicion.

The next afternoon, Tian Lin's Tian Yi Sheng Shui Jue finally reached the minor success realm.

What surprised him was that in addition to Zhang Zhao being his neighbor, Zhou Mengjiao was actually the owner of Cave No. 72.

The two met because of Zhou Jin, but Zhou Mengjiao was not interested in Tian Lin. After she found out that Tian Lin was her neighbor, she first asked her own Bao Jian to give a gift to Tian Lin.

After the man holding the sword came back from Tianlin, he could not help but sneer, "The toad wants to eat the swan flesh, but he is really shameless."

Zhou Mengjiao asked her sword-holder, "What do you mean, did he say anything to me?"

The man holding the sword shook his head and said, "He must have something to say in his heart, but because he just met the young lady, he held back and didn't say it.

But seeing that he tried every means to move the cave residence next to the young lady, isn't it just to get closer to the water and the moon first? I know these men's minds too well."

Zhou Mengjiao did not comment and said:
"We can't control what others think. We just need to avoid contact with him in the future. After this month, I think he will most likely be demoted back to Class D and Class Gui. By then, he won't have the face to continue staying in the cave of Class C disciples."

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Tian Lin finally entered the class of Class C and E.
