Chapter 278 Dao Fruit
Chapter 278 Dao Fruit
Among the crowd, only Tian Lin behaved extremely calmly. After thinking it over, he did not think that he could stand out among so many people and gain the favor of the Shuiyun Sect's old leader.
Soon, the boy in the hall came out and bowed to the great elder of the Daoist sect, saying, "Please come in and meet our ancestor."
The great elder nodded, and then led Tian Lin and others into the hall.
The hall was unexpectedly simple. Apart from a table and a few stools, there was not even a shrine or vase.
This place looks like an ordinary bedroom, with no difference except that it is full of spiritual energy.
A group of disciples stood below to perform the ceremony. The Great Elder also stopped in front of the couch and said, "Disciple greets the old Sect Master."
The old sect leader nodded, looked at the great elder and said, "How is your sect leader Xiang?"
The great elder said respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, old sect master. Our sect master Xiang is in seclusion these days. If not, I will come to see you in person."
The old master said:
"In the Spiritual Transformation Realm, every step forward is as difficult as ascending to heaven. I have also tried to retreat, but after thousands of years, I still cannot break through to the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm."
The Great Elder hurriedly said: "The old sect master has accumulated a lot of experience, and his cultivation to the late stage of the Spiritualization will surely come naturally."
The old sect leader laughed loudly and said, "You don't need to comfort me. Practicing Taoism is against the will of heaven. How can I be discouraged by temporary difficulties?"
After saying this, he looked towards the disciples of the Wendao Sect below.
These inner disciples all puffed out their chests and held their heads high, trying their best to let the old sect master see them clearly.
But what surprised the inner sect disciples was that the old sect master suddenly asked, "Why didn't your sect's Zhaixingzi come?"
When these words were spoken, not only the inner disciples were surprised, even the great elder felt extremely surprised.
You have to know that the old sect master is at the level of Spirit Transformation, while Zhaixingzi is just a foundation-building cultivator.
How could Zhaixingzi deserve the old sect master's inquiry?
"Zhaixingzi is not yet an inner sect disciple, so he is not traveling with us this time."
After the great elder finished explaining, the old sect leader looked at Tian Lin again.
He smiled and said, "This young friend seems to have a close relationship with my Shuiyun Sect."
At this time, the Great Elder also looked at Tian Lin. He thought that the old sect master had realized that Tian Lin was not an inner sect disciple of the Wendao Sect.
So he quickly explained, "He was originally an outer disciple who came with us, but because an inner disciple had an accident, he was temporarily allowed to come along to broaden his horizons."
The Great Elder explained why Tian Lin, who was not an inner sect disciple, was able to appear here.
But the old master obviously didn't care about these. He said to Tian Lin:
"You were able to cultivate my Shuiyun Sect's Tianyisheng Water Art to perfection, which shows that you have great talent. Judging from your appearance, you are also going to cultivate the other sects' magical powers to perfection?"
No one else knew that Tian Lin had cultivated the Tian Yi Sheng Water Art to perfection, not even the Great Elder could see it.
So after hearing what the old sect leader said, everyone looked at Tian Lin in surprise, especially the teaching elder who came with him.
"In reply to the old sect master, I should be able to cultivate the Five Elements Dharmakaya in the near future."
This matter cannot be hidden from the old sect leader, and Tian Lin is anxious to improve his cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building, so it will be revealed sooner or later.
The old sect leader nodded and asked the great elder, "Who is his master?"
The Great Elder obviously knew Tian Lin's background and immediately said, "This child is from Huahualang and his master is Elder Yu."
The old master said, "No wonder." After saying this, he looked at the disciples present and said, "I have been in seclusion for thousands of years, practicing many Taoist techniques and cultivating many Taoist seeds.
However, in the path of cultivation, the more Tao seeds one has, the better. Because in the end, not all Tao seeds can bear Tao fruit. "
The inner sect disciples did not say a word. They all knew that the real stuff was coming, so they suppressed their excitement.
The old sect leader said: "Now that I have not been able to break through to the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation, leaving behind these many useless Dao seeds will be of no use."
"Here are eight Dao seeds. I will give them to you."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and pointed at the eight people.
Eight things that looked like lotus seeds fell into everyone's hands. Everyone was somewhat excited, and they all held the lotus seeds and bowed to the old master:
"Disciples, thank you for your teachings, old master!"
However, true preaching is not just about giving the seeds of the Tao, but about giving the complete fruits of the Tao.
The old sect leader took out a wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to the great elder: "You will give this box to Zhaixingzi, so that he can achieve great success soon."
The elder held the wooden box in his hand and said, "Zhaixingzi practices the way of cause and effect. What if he refuses to accept it?"
The old sect leader laughed loudly and said, "Tell him that the Dao Fruits I gave him are not related to any cause and effect, so he can eat them without worry."
The Great Elder then held the box and thanked the old sect leader.
The old sect leader chatted with the great elder for a while before sending everyone away.
After the group of people from the Wendao Sect left the hall, the disciples from other sects kept looking at the inner disciples of the Wendao Sect, wanting to see who had obtained the Dao Fruit.
But at this time, the inner disciples of the Wendao Sect all looked very depressed, so that outsiders could not tell who had benefited.
Finally, after the old sect leader had met everyone, everyone said goodbye to the Taoist boy and left the main hall and the new hall.
When everyone left the hall, the elder of Xiangxi Sect was the first to speak and asked the Great Elder, "Elder Ren, which disciple of your sect has obtained the Dao Fruit? Tell us so that we can see it."
The Great Elder smiled and said, "There is nothing to hide. The Star Picker of the Bi Sect has been favored by the old Sect Master, and the old Sect Master has bestowed several Dao Fruits on him."
The Xiangxi Sect elder was stunned for a moment, looked at the Great Elder in surprise, and said, "Zhaixingzi didn't come, did he?"
The Great Elder said, "He didn't come because he is not an inner disciple yet."
After hearing this, the elder of Xiangxi Sect looked at his own disciples and said, "Look at their outer disciples. They can obtain Dao Fruit without any effort. And look at you bunch of useless people - are you considered inner disciples?"
Although this remark insulted his own disciples, it also made the disciples of other families look unhappy.
Tian Lin is better, he is not an inner disciple at all.
The group of people dispersed from the lotus platform and returned to their respective places.
The teaching elder also took Tian Lin back to the Guest House, but separated from Tian Lin there. Instead, Mei Xiangu separated from the female disciples of the Goddess Sect and went with him to the small courtyard where the outer disciples of the Wendao Sect lived.
As the two walked, Mei Xiangu sneered:
"Look at Zhaixingzi, and then look at you! Others who Zhaixingzi don't even need to come here in person to get the Dao fruit. But you stand there pathetically, and others are unwilling to pass on the Dao fruit to you."
Tian Lin knew that Mei Xiangu hated Zhaixingzi, but at this moment, she hated him even more than Zhaixingzi did.
