Chapter 508 News from Elder Yu
Chapter 508 News from Elder Yu
"This Taoli is probably not weaker than Mei Xiangu and me, and may even be stronger than us."
After Tao Li left the door, Tian Lin couldn't help but speak.
Cui Er was a little unconvinced: "There may be someone in the Jindan realm who can defeat the master, but it is impossible for him - if he really has the ability, how can he be unknown in the Dao Sect?"
While they were talking, there was new movement outside.
After hearing two anxious "you dare" scolding voices, Tao Li walked back leisurely in the garden.
He smiled and said to Tian Lin at the door: "Brother Tian, the matter outside has been resolved. No one will disturb us while we eat."
Tian Lin is now convinced that Tao Li is not as simple as he seems, and thus becomes wary of Tao Li.
After sitting down again, Tian Lin said calmly: "I think Junior Brother Tao's strength is stronger than mine. I think your words of seeking my advice are just a joke, right?"
As if seeing Tian Lin's vigilance, Tao Li smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to doubt me. You and I actually have a deep connection, so you don't have to worry about me harming you."
Tian Lin looked at Tao Li in confusion, and then he heard Tao Li say, "To be honest, I am not from the human race, but a peach tree from thousands of years ago."
After hearing this, Tian Lin took a sip of wine and did not comment on Tao Li's words.
He had eaten the True Eye Fruit and could see through a person's true face.
If the peaches and plums in front of him were really transformed from peach trees, they would definitely not be hidden from his eyes.
However, Tian Lin didn't believe it, but Cui'er and her sister obviously believed it.
Then I heard the voice of Mei Xiangu from the next room: "No wonder you want to see my Goddess Tree. It turns out that you and the Goddess Tree are of the same species——"
Although Mei Xiangu's voice came from next door, everyone looked towards the door and saw Mei Xiangu walking in from outside.
Yu'er quickly brought a stool for Mei Xiangu and poured wine for her.
Mei Xiangu picked up the cup and was not in a hurry to drink. She just looked at Tao Li questioningly and said, "You said you were a spirit from a peach tree, and you have lived for thousands of years. And thousands of years ago, Tian Lin must not have been born yet. How do you talk about your origin with him?"
Tao Li explained calmly, "My connection with Senior Brother Tian is naturally related to Elder Yu. It was Elder Yu who taught me how to transform plants and trees into spirits."
In the Daoist sect, Elder Xue had seen Elder Yu. Apart from him, not many people had seen Elder Yu.
Tian Lin never imagined that there was an inner sect disciple who had met Elder Yu.
He looked at Tao Li in surprise, wanting to confirm whether Tao Li was lying.
"At that time, Elder Yu lived in seclusion in the Xiaoyu Temple outside the sect. The sect had not yet moved north to the Northern Wasteland. I was just an ordinary peach tree, without any intelligence."
He explained: "It was a coincidence - it was all thanks to Senior Black Emperor in the Taoist temple, who watered me with feces every month, so that I, a plant that doesn't know how to absorb spiritual energy, gradually gained spiritual intelligence."
Mei Xiangu was obviously not familiar with the name Black Emperor, but she had probably heard of it.
However, Tian Lin had a very deep impression of Hei Huang.
In the illusion of the Invitation Sect, he not only saw the Black Emperor, but also visited Xiaoyu Temple in person under the identity of the Invitation Patriarch. Just as Tao Li said, Xiaoyu Temple was built on a mountain, surrounded by countless plants and trees.
The so-called Black Emperor is nothing but a dog following Elder Yu. This dog is disguised as a Taoist child and loves to trick people into eating feces.
Tian Lin guessed that Patriarch Yao Yue was able to meet Elder Yu because he had eaten a lot of dung given by the Black Emperor.
This was the case with Patriarch Yao Yue back then, and this disciple now seems to have the same experience.
However, the former found eating feces humiliating, while the latter's students were grateful for the experience.
Then again, Patriarch Yaoyue is a human being, and he doesn't eat feces. But for plants and trees, feces are nutritious, not to mention the feces of the Black Emperor?
"So, you recognized Elder Yu earlier than Tian Lin?"
Tao Li nodded, looked at Tian Lin with envy and said, "It's a pity that I don't have the talent and ability of Senior Brother Tian, so even though I got the guidance of Elder Yu and finally embarked on the path of cultivation and transformation, but from beginning to end, Elder Yu refused to accept me as a disciple."
If what Tao Li said was true, then we would have found the reason why he was always respectful and even admiring towards Tian Lin even though his strength was obviously not weaker than Tian Lin.
Mei Xiangu glanced at Tian Lin and said sarcastically, "I can't figure out what it is about Tian that Elder Yu likes? I think Elder Yu probably saw it wrong. It would be better for him to accept you as his disciple."
Tao Li waved his hands repeatedly: "It took me thousands of years to reach the late Jindan realm. On the other hand, Senior Brother Tian has achieved his current cultivation level at such a young age, which shows that Senior Brother Tian's talent and understanding are much stronger than mine."
Tian Lin knew his own limitations. If it weren't for the help of the entry, it would be a big problem for him, a Huahualang, to not even be able to reach the Golden Core Realm. It would even be a big problem for him to survive in the process of seeking immortality.
"It is not easy to cultivate plants and trees compared to ordinary people. Junior Brother Tao has achieved his current level of cultivation, which shows his talent. Moreover, once plants and trees cultivate, their life span is much longer than that of ordinary people. So Junior Brother Tao seems to have cultivated for thousands of years, but in fact he is still very young."
Tian Lin even heard that it was not easy for plants to cultivate in the early stages, but in the later stages when they comprehended the great Dao, they were much stronger than ordinary people.
Now Tao Li has reached the late stage of Jindan. Once he enters the Yuanying realm, he will be able to jump as far as the sea is wide and fly as far as the sky is high.
"Junior brother said that he was a spirit from a peach tree, but I don't see any demonic aura on him. I wonder why that is?"
What Tian Lin actually wanted to ask was why he couldn't see through the true nature of peach and plum?
It can't be that Tao Li has become so powerful that he is stronger than a powerful god-transforming warrior, right?
You know, when the Xiangxi Sect was inviting gods to possess their bodies, Tian Lin could see the spirit of the Xiangxi Sect's ancestor appear - although that spirit was only a small clone of the Xiangxi Sect's ancestor, that small clone was at least a powerful god-transforming cultivator.
“This is naturally because of Elder Yu! Elder Yu knows that it is not easy for plants to become spirits, and it will be even more difficult for them to survive in the world after becoming spirits!
In order to prevent me from being targeted by those who wanted to use plants to refine magical instruments or by some monks who liked to grow flowers, he helped me to cast a sleight of hand so that no one could see through my true colors. "
After hearing his explanation, Tian Lin finally believed it a little.
However, Elder Yu had such means thousands of years ago, which made Tian Lin have a deeper understanding of Elder Yu's strength.
Tian Lin felt a bit awed and wary of this cheap master whom he had only met once in a dream.
Compared to Tian Lin, Tao Li seemed to have only a closeness and admiration for Elder Yu. He asked Tian Lin, "Elder Yu recently sent a message to the sect, so I guess he also contacted Brother privately, right?"
Tian Lin was surprised when he heard this: "Elder Yu sent a message to the sect? I didn't know about this."
Tao Li was even more surprised than Tian Lin, because in his eyes, Tian Lin was Elder Yu's favorite disciple. How could Elder Yu's favorite disciple know less about his master than he did?
Mei Xiangu, who was standing by, laughed and said gloatingly, "I guess Elder Yu has long forgotten that he accepted a disciple for the Wendao Sect. After all, this disciple is just a nominal disciple. What's there to worry about?"
