He took out the jade bottle from his storage bag, poured out two spirit-accumulating pills, put them into his mouth, then closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.
Three days later, Xiao Lin woke up from his trance. He felt that the injuries in his body had improved a lot, and he had an expression of relief on his face. However, the loss of energy and blood could not be replenished all at once, so his expression turned pale.
Still looks extremely pale.
He stood up, came to the sapling, thought for a while, then lightly flicked the young leaves on it, and then he appeared in the cave again.
He stood in the cave, pondered for a moment, and then sat down cross-legged again. Xiao Lin did not intend to leave now. If those two people were still hanging around, if he went out rashly and bumped into each other, then it would really be a disaster.
He has fallen into a trap. The reason why he is still alive is because they do not understand his strength. Now his trump cards have been exposed to the swarthy man and the scholar monk. If they meet again, he will not be so lucky, so he plans to
Practice here for a while and wait until you are sure the two of them have left before going out.
Xiao Lin suddenly thought of something. He patted the storage bag on his waist, and then a storage bag appeared in Xiao Lin's hand. This storage bag was small and exquisite, and it also exuded a faint fragrance. It looked like it was used by women.
This storage bag was obtained by Xiao Lin after he killed the enchanting woman. Originally, the silver hairpin was also a mid-level magic weapon, but under the circumstances, he had no time to pick it up, so he directly pointed the mouth of the bag toward
Go down and pour out everything inside.
Suddenly, several things appeared in front of Xiao Lin.
A small cyan metal shield, a book, a jade slip and a jade box with yellow talismans on it, then several weapon refining materials and dozens of low-grade spiritual stones.
Xiao Lin casually picked up the small cyan metal shield. I don't know what kind of metal this small shield was made of. It looked green-gold as a whole. If you look carefully, you can see golden light spots flashing on it.
The moment Xiao Lin picked it up, a mist of green light surged out, covering his palm.
"It turned out to be a high-level magic weapon?" Xiao Lin showed a look of surprise on his face. He finally understood now that the enchanting woman probably wanted to sacrifice this magic weapon before she died, but before she could, he was killed by himself.
He was killed, which made Xiao Lin feel very lucky. If the enchanting woman had sacrificed this magic weapon from the beginning, it might not have been so easy for him to kill her.
This was also caused by the enchanting woman being too careless when she saw that Xiao Lin only had the sixth level of Qi refining. After all, in her eyes, the difference between the sixth level of Qi refining and her ninth level of Qi refining was not even a little bit different, but she never dreamed of it.
Thinking that Xiao Lin, a mid-level monk at the sixth level of Qi refining, had actually practiced all four basic spells to the state of great perfection, he was careless and died.
Xiao Lin's face showed joy. His ebony spiritual shield was completely destroyed in this battle, causing him to lose his only defensive weapon. Now he has this lapis lazuli shield, which is enough to make up for his loss.
Xiao Lin didn't pick up the book. The cover said "Tu Yuan Gong". You don't need to read it. This book is the main skill of the enchanting woman. Xiao Lin picked up the book immediately.
Put the jade slip in the palm of your hand, close your eyes, and browse it carefully.
More than two hours passed after this browsing. When Xiao Lin opened his eyes, there was an expression of surprise on his face.
It turned out that what was recorded in this jade slip was a partial map of the third floor of the cave. It recorded the distribution of monsters and the route map of the third floor map in great detail, and even marked several purple spirits that might grow there.
The only pity about the flower place is that this map is obviously incomplete, only a small part of the third floor.
But this was enough to surprise Xiao Lin. If he wanted to go further on the road of cultivation, the only way was to join one of the five major sects. Regardless of his spiritual talent or family background, he only had
Go down to the catacombs to test this path.
The catacomb trial is extremely cruel. You must know that in the Tianlu Mountains, there are four or five fairy cities like Wuyin Fairy City, and there are millions of low-level casual cultivators in the Qi refining period. Even if there are 100% of them,
Ten of the monks can enter the later stage of Qi refining, which is also a very huge number, not to mention that there are many cultivators who have reached the Great Perfection stage of Qi refining.
Many of these people are just like me, they do not have amazing spiritual talent, nor the support of a big family. For casual cultivators who have reached the late stage of Qi refining or even the Great Perfection, if they want to go further on the road of cultivation, the only way is
The only way out is the catacomb trial.
And the catacomb trial, which is only launched every thirty years, has turned the catacombs into a human Shura field. Without going through the test of blood and fire, and without experiencing the temper of life and death, it is simply impossible to test in the catacombs.
If you stand out in the training, you will naturally not be eligible to join the five major sects.
Xiao Lin was not sure about the opening of the catacombs two years later. He was only at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Even if he could break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, he would not have any advantage over the many monks who entered the catacombs.
His only reliance is the four basic spells of the Great Perfection level, and the only two remaining elementary talismans.
He sighed softly. After these few years of practice, Xiao Lin's body and mind were undergoing transformation. The intrigue among the monks was even far beyond that of ordinary mortals. Once upon a time, the stories about immortals he heard from the old people in the village,
He was also completely broken by the reality he saw.
Who said that immortals help those in need, and save all people from water and fire? In the eyes of real "immortals", mortals are just a group of ants. Who would be sad for a long time or even cry bitterly if they trample an ant to death?
Now that there is a partial map of the third level of the catacombs, Xiao Lin will undoubtedly have more chances of survival in this cruel trial.
With a slight sigh, Xiao Lin picked up the jade box again. The jade box was only about two inches long. In the middle, there was a spiritual sealing talisman attached.
Uncovering the spirit-sealing talisman, Xiao Lin gently opened the jade box. Inside was a five-leaf grass. This grass exuded strong spiritual energy. The five young leaves were fan-shaped and looked very weird. But in
In the middle of this five-leaf grass, there is still a branch and leaf, but the top of this branch has no leaves, but a red fruit, only the size of a bean, with a faint blush.
Xiao Lin looked at this spiritual grass in surprise, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't figure out what this spiritual grass was used for. He could only cover the box again and put the sealing talisman on it, thinking that he would have time in the future.
Then plant this spiritual grass next to the sapling in the spiritual wood space, and study its use later.
As for the refining materials, Xiao Lin didn't know much about them, so he just threw them into his storage bag. The last few dozen pieces of low-grade spirit stones that remained were also thrown into his storage bag without even looking at them.
Although he was ambushed by three high-level Qi Refining monks this time and was seriously injured, it seems that he is not at a disadvantage now. The top-grade defensive magic weapon alone is basically worth one of his own.
The primary talisman is finished.
Moreover, talismans are disposable consumables after all, unlike magic weapons, which can be reused.
After that, Xiao Lin started taking Yunling Pill and continued to practice.
Soon, a month passed. Xiao Lin opened his eyes after entering trance. He breathed a long sigh of relief. More than half a month ago, he indeed discovered the two dark-skinned men and the scholar who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.
The monk did not leave, and kept searching for him nearby. This made him glad that he did not leave immediately after his injury improved, otherwise, he would have bumped into the two of them directly.
Now more than half a month has passed, and the two people have not appeared again. Xiao Lin carefully came out of the cave, then used the wind control technique, used the light skill of Flowing Clouds and Light Body Technique, and headed towards the outskirts of the Tianlu Mountains.
And go.
A few days later, Xiao Lin came to the Qingshui Lake Mine. Looking at the familiar scenes in front of him, he felt a sense of nostalgia. It was here that he accidentally got a copy of the "Dry Water Sutra" and started practicing spiritual practice.
On the way, he thought of Mr. Fu at the grocery store, but when he came to the grocery store again, he was surprised to find that Mr. Fu was gone and replaced by a man in his forties.
What surprised Xiao Lin was that all the familiar faces in the Qingshui Lake Mine were gone. The helmsman Wu Lian was not here either, and none of his outer disciples from the Bailian Hall were seen either.
When they arrived, they were all replaced by unfamiliar faces.
Half a day later, Xiao Lin quietly left the Qingshui Lake Mine. With his current Wind Control Technique and the Flowing Cloud Light Body Technique, ordinary warriors could not even catch his shadow.
...
Huai County, located in Nanzhou, is one of the three most affluent counties in Nanzhou. The reason is that it is backed by the Tianlu Mountains, faces the Huaijiang River in the east, connects the north and the south, and is the hub of business exchanges between the north and the south of the Yuxi Kingdom. It is also because
In this way, Huai County has also become the focus of competition between Jianghu gangs.
On this day, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old appeared at the gate of Huaixian County. He was wearing a coarse cloth gown and carrying a bamboo hat. He strolled into Huaixian County. This man came from the Tianlu Mountains.
Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin looked at the shops on both sides of the street and the pedestrians coming and going, with a smile on his face. He recalled in his mind the days when he fled with his father and sister a few years ago, and their destination was
In the prosperous Huai County, his idea at that time was very simple, just to get a job that could make a living. But who would have thought that fate would play a trick on people, and now he has become a high-ranking "immortal" in the eyes of mortals.
In the past few years, although he has been in hard training, he has never forgotten his father and little sister. The voice and smile of his little sister Xiao Zhi still remain in his mind. He thought of Xiao Shi again.
Faxiao, who grew up with him, doesn't know how he is doing in the Bailian Hall. But with his talent in martial arts, he is at least as good as Wu Lian as a helmsman now, right?
It was precisely because of Xiao Shi's talent in martial arts that he was able to master the second level of the Hundred Refining Heart Sutra in just a few months, which also made Xiao Lin feel relieved about the situation of his father and little sister.
Given Bailiantang's dominant position in Huai County, his father and little sister will be fine with Xiao Shi taking care of them.
