Chapter 285 Demon Forest
Chapter 285 Demon Forest
For more than half a month thereafter, Tian Lin practiced by eating cold incense leaves every day.
During this short period of time, except for the Earth Rejuvenation Art, which he had mastered, he had already cultivated the rest of the Art, such as the Tianyishen Water Art, the Great Sun Art, the Vajra Subduing Demons Art and the Earth Sealing Art, to perfection.
The four Dharma bodies of water, fire, gold and earth formed four beans in his Dantian, emitting different lights.
Tian Lin now only had to wait until the Earth Rejuvenation Technique was perfected before he could consider fusing the five "beans" and completely condensing them into a single Five Elements Dharmakaya.
According to Tian Lin's estimation, it would not take too long for the Earth Rejuvenation Technique to reach perfection. Once the Five Elements Dharmakaya appeared, he would be in the middle stage of the foundation building stage.

The next morning, all the students in the academy who were on vacation in their clans returned.
The teaching elder only said a few simple words and asked everyone to choose a task card.
After looking through a few task cards, Ju Yunhai and Tian Lin said:
"Although we took a vacation last month, the simple tasks were taken by Class B disciples from other mountains last month. The remaining tasks are difficult to complete."
Tian Lin nodded and said, "Most of these missions require the cooperation of several people to complete, which shows how difficult and dangerous the missions are."
Ju Yunhai handed the sign in his hand to Tian Lin: "This task requires three people to complete. Junior Brother Tian, are you interested in joining forces with me?"
Hearing what Ju Yunhai said, Senior Sister Jia, who was screening tasks on the side, also came over and said, "Senior Brother Ju, what is the task? Why don't you ask me to do it together?"
Tian Lin held the token that Ju Yunhai handed to him and recited the content on it: "Help Cangjian Villa to obtain the sword?"
"Cangjian Villa?"
Senior Sister Jia said, "Is it the Guo family? The ancestor of the Guo family is a sword cultivator. He has a flying sword in his hand that is almost like a Taoist weapon. Because of this flying sword, he once survived the hands of a Yuanying realm expert."
Ju Yunhai nodded and said, "Yes, this ancestor of the Guo family has been in seclusion for a hundred years, and it is said that he intends to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
The Guo family sent someone to ask us to help get a sword, but we don’t know what sword it is.”
Senior Sister Jia said, "The information about this mission is not very clear, but it sounds safer than other missions. Senior Brother Ju, Junior Brother Tian, are you two interested in taking me with you?"
The Guo family asked three disciples of the Wendao Sect to undertake the task, proving that the task would not be too simple, but not too difficult either.
If it was too difficult, the Guo family would not invite outer disciples, but would ask the elders of the Dao Sect to come forward.
"Okay, we can give this mission a try."
After Tian Lin nodded, Ju Yunhai smiled and said to Tian Lin: "Junior Brother Tian, don't forget to bring Miss Mei with you. With her, our mission won't be dangerous."
The reason why the two people wanted to find Tian Lin was not because they saw that Tian Lin had a bright future, but simply because they were attracted by Mei Xiangu behind Tian Lin.
Mei Xiangu is now Tian Lin's swordsman. Logically speaking, it is not against the rules for Tian Lin to carry the sword when he is on a mission.
Therefore, Ju Yunhai's participation in this trip with Tian Lin was equivalent to having three people in the late foundation building stage. Moreover, Mei Xiangu, who was in the late foundation building stage, was in the late stage of the inner sect disciples' strength.
Is it difficult for an inner disciple to do the tasks of a Class B disciple?
"It's settled now. Shall we set off in the afternoon?"
Tian Lin looked at Ju Yunhai and Senior Sister Jia, and they both nodded immediately.
Tian Lin returned to his cave. At this time, Mei Xiangu was still staying in the third stone chamber.
After drinking the tea that Yu'er handed over, Tian Lin said to Yu'er, "Please help me call Miss Mei out. I want to take her to the Monster Forest."
When other Class B disciples went on missions, they would bring their own swords. Only Tian Lin didn't bring a sword before. It wasn't that he didn't want to bring one. It was just because Yu'er and Cui'er were too weak, and it would be a burden to bring them.
Yu'er and Cui'er also understood this truth, so they did not ask Tian Lin to take them out.
Soon, Fairy Mei was brought out by Yu'er.
She had changed her clothes and no longer wore the same clothes as when she was in the Goddess Sect.
She looked at Tian Lin and said, "I'm helping you because of the contract. I don't want my life to be implicated because of your waste. Don't get me wrong."
Tian Lin ignored Mei Xiangu's words. In fact, Mei Xiangu's life was now saved by him.
Unless she has the ability to terminate the contract, she will have to be her own swordsman for the rest of her life.
Frankly speaking, Mei Xiangu is more reliable than Yu'er and Cui'er.
It’s not that Hou Tu’s paper deed is easy to get, otherwise Tian Lin would have found a paper deed for Cui’er and Yu’er to swear an oath on.
"There shouldn't be much danger on this trip. I asked Miss Mei to come with me just to protect her life, so I don't mean to treat her as a servant."
"Why are you saying all this? Let's get going!"
Fairy Mei left the cave first, and Tian Lin followed closely behind.
When the two arrived at the academy, Ju Yunhai and Senior Sister Jia had been waiting for a long time with their swords.
After the parties exchanged greetings, Ju Yunhai released the flying boat, and several people boarded Ju Yunhai's flying boat one after another.
The one controlling the flying boat was Ju Yunhai's sword-bearing Yuner. She had been on several missions with Ju Yunhai and had also reached the middle stage of foundation building.
Although Bao Jianfeng'er, the swordsman of Senior Sister Jia, had also done missions with Senior Sister Jia, he had never been to the Monster Forest.
At this time, Ju Yunhai set up the table and Feng'er poured wine for a few people.
Ju Yunhai tried to get closer to Mei Xiangu, but Mei Xiangu obviously didn't want to talk to them more, so they could only let her sit alone in the middle of the boat.
"Since Cangjian Villa is located in the Monster Forest, it should be closer to the Beast Taming Sect. Why didn't they ask the disciples of the Sword Taming Sect to help, but instead asked us from the Dao Sect for help?"
To avoid a dull moment, Senior Sister Jia asked while holding the teacup.
Ju Yunhai nodded and said, "Yes, in theory, Cangjian Villa is within the jurisdiction of the Beast Taming Sect, so there is no reason to go far away. But since the sect has agreed to their request, we just need to complete the mission. When we get to Cangjian Villa, we will find the people from the Guo family and we will know the answer by asking them."
About half a day had passed and night had fallen.
Ju Yunhai suddenly said, "We are not far from the Monster Forest, and there are many flying monsters in the Monster Forest. To avoid being attacked, we'd better walk."
Senior Sister Jia readily agreed: "Senior Brother Ju has been to the Monster Forest several times. I think he is more familiar with it than us. This mission will all depend on Senior Brother Ju's arrangements."
Ju Yunhai did not act on his own, but asked Mei Xiangu and Tian Lin at the side of the boat, "Junior Brother Tian, what does Miss Mei think?"
Fairy Mei did not comment. After Tian Lin nodded, Yun'er, who was in control of the flying boat, landed the boat directly outside the demon forest without any instructions.
The sounds of tigers roaring and dragons roaring rose and fell in the forest in the night.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the strong smell of animal was almost overwhelming.
