After half an hour of walking, Lin Jin finally arrived at the location of Qi Pavilion.
The Qi Pavilion is located on a cliff, as if it "grew" out of the cliff.
The road leading to Qi Pavilion is a dangerous road dug along the cliff, but this dangerous road digs very deep into the stone wall, with a width of two or three feet.
Lin Jin felt a chill as he walked up the mountain, because there were no protective measures on the edge of this dangerous road going up the mountain. It was empty and the wind became stronger the higher you went.
Along the entire road from the intersection at the foot of the mountain to the entrance of Qi Pavilion, there are disciples setting up stalls on the side near the inside.
The stalls will indicate what is being exchanged, some are for barter, some are for spiritual stones, and some are for information. There are all kinds of things, which makes Lin Jin dazzled.
The road is so long that it is impossible to look carefully at all the stalls. Lin Jin can only take a quick look and take a look.
Arriving at the stall of a pretty female disciple, Lin Jin stopped and took a look. Something special caught Lin Jin's attention.
"Can I take a look first?"
Lin Jin asked, pointing to a shabby book on the stall.
The pretty female disciple next to the stall looked up at Lin Jin and nodded lightly.
"Okay, but don't be too disappointed after reading it. And you have to be careful. This book is very worn."
Lin Jin thought the female disciple's voice was quite pleasant, so with permission, he smiled at her and picked up the tattered book to read.
After turning a few pages, Lin Jin understood what the female disciple meant by telling him not to be too disappointed.
The name of this book is written on the first page of this tattered book. This book is called Tianzhen Calculation.
But except for the four big words Tianzhen Calculation on the first page, the remaining dozens of pages are blank without any text or pictures.
Those legendary wordless books didn't even have a single word, but this shabby book actually had a title but no content. Lin Jin suddenly felt a little depressed.
The female disciple saw Lin Jin's face and knew that he must have read the contents of this book.
"Haha, I still disappoint you, right?"
"Now...the world of cultivation generally uses jade slips to record information, right?"
In his memory, Lin Jin remembered that Xiao Zhang told him that jade slips were the main medium for recording information in the world of cultivation.
The female disciple didn't know why Lin Jin asked this, but she nodded anyway.
Lin Jin thought to himself: Since jade slips are commonly used in the world of cultivation, this book is quite unique, and the name seems to be good, so it might be a useful thing.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Jin was already ready to buy it.
“How do I trade this book?”
The female disciple looked at Lin Jin with some surprise. Lin Jin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it not for sale?"
The female disciple quickly shook her head and explained: "No, no, I'm just wondering why you bought this useless thing."
Lin Jin didn't want to explain his intentions and couldn't explain his thoughts clearly.
"I just saw that this book was old and wanted to collect it."
The female disciple did not hesitate too much, nodded and said: "Then just give me five low-grade spiritual stones."
Lin Jin then took out five low-grade spiritual stones from his storage bag and handed them to the female disciple, then put the book away and prepared to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute."
The female disciple stopped Lin Jin. Lin Jin thought she was not satisfied with the price, but when he turned around, he saw the female disciple holding a worn-out parchment-like object in her hand.
Lin Jin asked doubtfully: "Is there anything else?"
The female disciple handed the items in her hands to Lin Jin and said, "Since you like collecting, why not buy this one too."
The female disciple seemed to think that Lin Jin would definitely buy this thing.
Lin Jin took the thing from the female disciple's hand, played with it in his hand, and asked: "You want to sell me this leather scroll too?"
The female disciple gently moved a strand of hair on her forehead to the right side of her face.
"I also obtained this leather scroll by chance. It has no function, but I don't know what material it is made of. No matter what I do to it, I can't make any trace of it."
Now Lin Jin became a little interested. He took the leather scroll and used his spiritual power to pull it hard. As expected, there were no signs of tearing.
Lin Jin stared at the leather scroll for a long time and asked curiously: "Since this thing is made of special material, it might be some kind of rare treasure. Why do you have to sell it?"
The female disciple smiled bitterly and told her reason.
"Even if it is a good thing, I can't afford it with my current ability. I might as well be practical and exchange it for some spiritual stones to help me practice."
Lin Jin touched his chin and agreed: "Okay, I bought you one thing anyway, let's buy another one. How many spiritual stones?"
The female disciple felt a little embarrassed now and whispered: "It's still five low-grade spiritual stones."
Lin Jin didn't blink, nodded directly, and handed the five low-grade spiritual stones to the female disciple.
The female disciple was a little surprised and took the spirit stone gratefully.
Lin Jin put the leather scroll into his storage bag and asked, "What's your name? Are you also an outer disciple?"
"My name is Liu Ling, and I am an outer disciple. Seeing how generous you are, could it be that you are an inner disciple?"
"It's not like you are spending too much. It's a reward. It's fine that I'm an inner disciple. I'm just an outer disciple."
Liu Ling teased slightly: "It seems that there will be another opponent in the inner disciple selection competition in a few days."
Lin Jin said with a hint of joking: "Haha, don't worry, we may not run into each other, and I can't bear to attack such a beautiful girl like you."
Liu Ling chuckled: "Really, then I'll remember it. You can't go back on your word."
Lin Jin's face straightened up and he promised: "Of course a real man will never follow up on his words!"
After saying that, he bowed to Liu Ling, turned around and left.
Lin Jin naturally does not think that he is a man, but Lin Jin is still very optimistic about his commitment.
Lin Jin wandered around a few other stalls by himself and traded some elixirs for replenishing spiritual energy and healing wounds, just in case of emergency.
Back in the valley, Lin Jin found that Xiao Zhang happened to be coming back from somewhere else and stopped him.
Xiao Zhang was stunned. Seeing that Lin Jin's face didn't react for a moment, Lin Jin had to say: "I am Lin Jin. Senior Brother Arrogant is really arrogant. He even pretended not to know me."
"Lin Jin... Oops, you're out of seclusion. I'm not pretending... I can't tell you've grown so tall, and even your face has been reshaped by you..."
Xiao Zhang was speechless and speechless.
"What's wrong?" Lin Jin asked seeing Xiao Zhang's strange expression.
At this time, Xiao Zhang looked around Lin Jin like he was looking at a peerless beauty, and he kept underestimating her.
"impossible……"
Lin Jin guessed that Xiao Zhang must have discovered his own cultivation because he did not shield his aura, and then he understood.
"It's just luck."
Xiao Zhang patted his thigh vigorously, as if to confirm whether he was dreaming.
"Luck? I think you are a peerless genius! In less than a year, you have gone from an ordinary mortal to the middle stage of the Extradition Realm. How about you become my boss and teach me?"
Lin Jin licked the corner of his mouth and stretched out his hand.
"Then hand over a hundred and eighty high-grade spiritual stones, and I will teach you."
Xiao Zhang made a sound and slapped Lin Jin's hand away.
"Forget it, it's my honor to be your boss if you become more powerful anyway, haha."
Lin Jin could only helplessly shake his head and said to himself: This Xiao Zhang's personality really suits me quite well.
In the valley, there were only two people, Lin Jin and Xiao Zhang, and the other disciples seemed unwilling to come out.
"Although there are only ten houses in the entire valley, I still find the valley surprisingly quiet."
"This is natural. There are still some days left before the outer sect competition. Naturally, they have to make the final sprint."
"But it's easy to make mistakes. I think as long as you consolidate your current cultivation level, even if there are some who are higher than you, as long as you don't meet anyone who is too powerful when the outer disciples compete, you should be able to
Entering the top twenty."
Lin Jin nodded with a wry smile, a trace of confidence flashing in his eyes.
"I hope so."
After a pause, Lin Jin sighed and said, "Senior Brother Xiao, you are a dark horse in the top twenty."
Upon hearing Lin Jin say this, several black lines instantly appeared on Xiao Zhang's forehead.
"Did you hear it from hearsay? Oh, those bastards told them not to talk nonsense, but they still kept talking!"
"Hehe, actually I want to keep a low profile. Dark horses always come out when unexpected, don't you think?"
"Is there anyone as low-key as you?"
Although Lin Jin agreed with Xiao Zhang's approach, Xiao Zhang's typical low profile was well known to everyone.
Xiao Zhang chuckled and said, "Okay, let's go back to practice."
Lin Jin nodded and was about to enter the house. Xiao Zhang seemed to remember something and called Lin Jin to stop.
Lin Jin turned around and asked, "Is there anything else good?"
Xiao Zhang smiled coaxingly.
"Didn't you want to go to Dian Pavilion last time?"
Lin Jin suddenly became interested.
"Is it now possible to go in and read the classics at will?"
"Of course... no! Are you daydreaming? Only inner disciples can enter! But, hey... now I have privileges."
Lin Jin was stunned and asked: "Privileges? What privileges? You mean..."
Xiao Zhang took out a jade slip from his storage bag and threw it to Lin Jin.
"Don't I have the qualifications to enter the top twenty? Hehe, it means that I have the status of a quasi-inner disciple for the time being, and I can apply for a temporary status jade slip. Not bad, right?"
Lin Jin looked at the jade slip in his hand carefully and said with thanks, "Thank you so much, Senior Brother Xiao, for the jade slip." Then he put the jade slip away.
"You're really rude, forget it, I'm going to practice, be careful not to lose it."
"Haha, I will naturally accept your kindness... By the way, did Lei Bing have a quarrel with you?"
Seeing Lin Jin mention it, Xiao smacked his palm and said nonchalantly: "That man thinks he has a great background, and he doesn't even think about how his ordinary family background is nothing in the eyes of us cultivators...
…”
"Have you met him?"
"Not worth mentioning."
Lin Jin didn't want to say more, so he expressed his evaluation of Lei Bing in just four words.
"Not worth it...Haha, that sums it up just right!"
