"Senior Brother Hu, I have already taken a fire attribute body tempering pill. Taking it again will not be of much use to me."
In desperation, Ling Tian had no choice but to say this, but then he added: "Don't ask me too much, just keep it to yourself. There are some things I can't say."
"Have you really taken the fire attribute body tempering pill?" Hu Neng seemed a little unconvinced.
"Otherwise, how could I successfully break through to the late stage of gathering spirits?" Ling Tian asked in reply.
"Right."
Hu Neng nodded, looking a little hesitant.
If Junior Brother Erniu really took the Fire-type Body Tempering Pill, taking it again would have little effect. But after all, the Body Tempering Pill is too valuable, so how could he be embarrassed to accept it?
"Actually, I know that my senior brother has taken great care of me over the years. It was a bit selfish for me not to give the first body tempering pill I got to my senior brother. If my senior brother doesn't accept this pill, I will probably have trouble sleeping and eating, and feel guilty." Ling
Tian saw Hu Neng's thoughts, so he persuaded him like this.
"Okay, I'll take it."
Hu Neng still reached out and took the Body Tempering Pill. After all, a Body Tempering Pill can take him to the peak of the late Soul Gathering Stage and give him some capital to attack the Foundation Establishment Stage. Even if he still fails in the end, at least he will not have another chance.
Unfortunately, if it succeeds, it will undoubtedly be a carp leaping over the dragon's gate.
"I won't say much more. Hu Neng will definitely remember this kindness from junior brother."
Hu Neng bowed to Ling Tian before leaving with the small bottle. On the way back, he secretly felt lucky that his care for Junior Brother Er Niu over the years had actually received such a generous reward.
"However, Junior Brother Erniu seemed to be a different person just now. Could it be that he has been pretending to be honest these years?"
Hu Neng thought of these again.
Ling Tian didn't tell Hu Neng anything, but he also knew that Hu Neng had been working in the outer sect of Lan Maple Sect for many years, and he was quite respectable. He was naturally a shrewd person, and he knew what to say and what not to say.
Moreover, a body tempering pill can at most only allow Hu Neng to reach the peak of the late stage of Juling, and will not make him improve much. Hu Neng has been in the late stage of Juling for many years, and his occasional improvement will not attract too many people.
of attention.
As for Junior Sister Yu Yan, she is already at the peak of the late stage of Gathering Spirits, so the Body Tempering Pills are of little use to her, not to mention that she has an inner sect expert to take care of her, so there will be no shortage of Body Tempering Pills.
As Uncle Hong said, the Body Tempering Pill is extremely precious to the outer disciples, but is not worth mentioning to the inner disciples.
There is no use keeping it for myself, and little junior sister Yuyan can’t use it, so she can only give it to senior brother Hu Neng.
After Hu Neng left, Ling Tian went to meditate on the stone bed and secretly decided to adjust his condition first, and then take another water-type body tempering pill tomorrow night.
Having already used a fire attribute body tempering pill before, taking another water attribute body tempering pill will make Ling Tian's body stronger and more rounded, and his skill will quickly reach the peak of the late stage of gathering spirits.
After taking ice and fire tempering pills, plus a foundation-building pill, the success rate of breaking through the foundation-building stage is definitely over 90%. It is probably because of this that Senior Brother Jiang has these three pills with him.
With his body, he could launch an attack on the Foundation Establishment Stage at any time... Unfortunately, in the end, he got the advantage of Ling Tian.
The next day, noon.
While Ling Tian was preparing meals for the outer disciples, Uncle Lu, who was stationed in the outer sect, suddenly came to him.
"Come with me."
Master Lu's face was a little gloomy. He went directly into the kitchen and refused to refuse.
"Yes." Ling Tian did not dare to neglect and immediately followed.
"Uncle Lu, why are you calling your disciple?" Ling Tian asked with some anxiety.
"Some masters from Wanku Ridge came and said that six of their disciples died. They suspected that they were killed by people from our Blue Maple Sect, so they came to investigate."
Uncle Lu paused for a moment and then said: "It is very likely that their six disciples are the six who died in the mountain stream."
"Even if those six people were really from Wankuling, they wanted to kill us first and then finally lost their lives. Why did Wankuling come to us to question us?" Ling Tian asked very puzzled.
"They will not admit that their disciples have murderous intentions first." Master Lu snorted coldly, "There are not many people in Wankuling who are reasonable. They are a group of villains who like nothing more than to bully others.
people."
"Are our Blue Maple Sect still afraid of them?" Ling Tian asked again.
"I'm not afraid, but the people in Wankuling are extremely difficult to deal with and cunning. If we are targeted by them, it will give our sect a huge headache."
Uncle Lu shook his head and said: "These sects on the edge of the Wuyin Mountains, the last thing everyone wants to provoke is the group of people from Wankuling. As the saying goes, it is better to provoke a gentleman than a villain. It is easy to hide from an open gun.
It’s hard to guard against hidden arrows.”
"Oh." Ling Tian nodded, his thoughts becoming complicated.
"I will go to the inner gate hall later. Don't talk nonsense, be careful and respectful. Of course, you don't have to be too afraid, let alone look at the faces of the people in Wankuling. Just say what you know." Uncle Lu said again.
He said something uneasy.
"Disciple understands." Ling Tian looked serious.
What Ling Tian was most afraid of was that the Lanfeng Sect didn't want to offend Wanku Ling, so they finally compromised and handed him over to the people of Wanku Ling.
Once you fall into the hands of people from Wankuling, your fate will definitely be miserable.
Since he dares to come directly to the Blue Maple Sect, he must be a master from Wanku Ridge, who is definitely not something Ling Tian can compete with right now.
Following Uncle Lu, Ling Tian crossed the inner gate halfway up the mountain and entered the inner gate of the Blue Maple Sect for the first time.
The inner gate of the Blue Maple Sect is indeed very different from the outer gate. The spiritual energy here is more intense, with clouds and mist lingering everywhere. There are many elixir gardens emitting bursts of medicinal fragrance. There are exotic flowers and plants everywhere competing for their beauty, and there are also spiritual spirits.
Deer, spirit and rabbits wander around, and occasionally you can see huge flying cranes and spirit doves.
The Qiongtai pavilions and small ponds with lotus flowers are like a paradise on earth, a fairyland on earth.
There are also towering stone pillars engraved with patterns of birds and animals, as well as ferocious-looking beasts lying prone everywhere, adding a bit of majestic and sacred inviolability to the place.
Generally speaking, the scenery here is far better than the outer gate, and it is far better than any scenery on earth. It is the only scenery Ling Tian has seen in his life, and he can't help but secretly marvel in his heart.
However, Ling Tian didn't have much thought to enjoy the beautiful scenery. As he went deeper and deeper into the inner gate, he gradually became a little nervous.
Even if the psychological quality is extremely high, it is inevitable to be nervous when encountering such a thing. After all, Ling Tian is not the king of this world. There are too many cultivation masters who can wipe out his corpse in a single thought.
After just a cup of tea, Master Lu took Ling Tian to the door of a large hall deep inside the inner gate.
This hall is tens of feet across and no less than ten feet high. It is made of huge rocks and looks spectacular. And this place is only a few hundred feet away from the top of Lanfeng Mountain. Standing here,
Looking around, you can see the vast sea of clouds and the mountain tops piercing the sea of clouds.
"Uncle Master, my disciple has brought Wang Erniu."
Right at the door of the main hall, Uncle Lu clasped his fists and bowed, loudly reporting.
"Let him in."
A very loud voice came out immediately.
"go in."
Uncle Lu patted Ling Tian on the shoulder and reminded in a low voice: "Don't be nervous, and don't be afraid."
Ling Tian nodded and then walked towards the main hall.
At the entrance of the main hall, there were two inner disciples guarding the entrance, but they did not even look at Ling Tian.
In the main hall, there is a huge space. There are six stone pillars divided into two rows standing in the center to support the dome. In the middle of the stone pillars is a road paved with red carpet.
This carpet divides the entire hall into two.
There are many high seats on both sides of the carpet. There are people sitting on most of the seats at the moment. Uncle Hong, who had given Ling Tian a body tempering pill before, is sitting in a seat on the left.
The masters on the left all have blue maple leaf marks on their chests and clothes, proving that they are all masters of the inner sect of the Blue Maple Sect.
On the right, there are four people sitting. The black bat-shaped emblem on their chests shows that they are all monks of Wankuling.
Looking deeper into the main hall facing the gate, you can see dozens of stone steps. At the end of the stone steps is a seat that looks like it is woven from blue withered vines. Sitting on it is a man with black and white hair.
The old man in white.
The old man was wearing a blue Taoist robe, with a majestic expression and bright eyes. He was looking at Ling Tian at the moment.
Ling Tian just looked at the old man, then walked to the center of the hall with his head down, stopped, clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "Disciple Wang Erniu, pay your respects to the head master."
"No gift."
The old man sitting high up was the current head of the Blue Maple Sect, named "Dou Yunzi", a powerful person in the late spiritual fetus. When he saw Ling Tian saluting, he offered him a hand.
"Thank you, Master." Ling Tian responded respectfully, then stood up straight.
Although Dou Yunzi is as high as an emperor, this is the main hall of the Immortal Cultivation Sect after all, not a royal palace, and there are not many formalities among the monks.
"Tell me one by one what happened when you went down the mountain to do shopping a few days ago. Don't talk nonsense. You must report it truthfully. If there is any deception, you will not be spared."
Dou Yunzi ordered loudly.
"Disciple, obey."
Ling Tian first clasped his fists and bowed again, and then started to talk. The words he said were the same as those he told Master Lu a few days ago.
"Fellow Taoists, do you understand?"
After Ling Tian finished speaking, Dou Yunzi looked at the four strong men in Wanku Ridge.
"I understand."
One of the middle-aged monks with a red beard spoke up. He sneered and said: "But what this kid said is sheer nonsense."
"Oh? I wonder if fellow Taoist Scarletbeard has any questions?" Dou Yunzi asked with an unchanged expression.
"Our six disciples are just going out for shopping this time. How can we intercept and kill you, the outer disciples of the Blue Maple Sect, on the way?"
The bearded man continued: "Moreover, how could a strong man suddenly appear in the middle of the night and go to the mountain stream to help your disciples? Could it be that the strong man had known that such a thing would happen and was waiting there specifically?
