The ancestor Zhang Bailiu found a small courtyard for Lin Bai in the palace, and arranged for Qiao Mo and Qin Yao to protect Lin Bai.
In the past, Lin Bai did not need anyone to protect him in seclusion, but because of the complicated situation in the imperial capital, the ancestor Zhang Bailiu did not want anything to happen to Lin Bai, so he specifically asked Qiao Mo and Qin Yao to protect Lin Bai.
Qiao Mo and Qin Yao were the two people Lin Bai trusted the most in the Tianshui Sect, so they agreed to their arrangement of protecting the law.
Sitting in the secret room, Lin Bai took out the storage bag that his ancestor Zhang Bailiu took out from the sect!
There are a total of 300,000 immortal jade piled up inside it!
"For these three hundred thousand immortal jade, I thought that the sect would find a way to refuse, but I didn't expect that the sect would agree so readily."
Lin Bai looked at the three hundred thousand immortal jade in the storage bag, his eyes sank slightly, and he murmured to himself:
"The sect is so willing to give me 300,000 immortal jade. It seems that the deal between me and the Tianshui Sect is in name only!"
"In other words... I have completed the transaction for Tianshui Sect. After the transaction is over, Tianshui Sect plans to regard me as the real Holy Son!"
Lin Bai's becoming the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect was originally a transaction with Tianshui Sect.
Lin Bai became the Holy Son to help Tianshui Sect make a comeback. He took over Tianshui Sect's position in Chu and supported His Highness King Chen to ascend the throne, allowing His Highness King Chen to open the passage to the Seven Realms of Heaven for him.
Everyone gets what they want in this deal.
But now that His Highness King Chen has successfully become the crown prince, the Tianshui Sect is also showing signs of recovery.
It stands to reason that so far, the transaction between Lin Bai and Tianshui Sect has been concluded.
But when Lin Bai asked for three hundred thousand immortal jade, the sect still didn't hesitate and chose to support Lin Bai unconditionally.
This also shows that... the Tianshui Sect does not want to make Lin Bai a saint son in the form of a transaction.
They took 300,000 immortal jade as a gesture of goodwill, hoping that Lin Bai would truly become the Son of the Holy Son.
Lin Bai's acceptance of the three hundred thousand immortal jade showed that he had agreed to continue to be the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect, and there was no transaction involved.
"Tianshui Sect..." Lin Bai's eyes were slightly gloomy, and his mind was full of thoughts.
It's not that he doesn't want to become the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect. After coming to the demon world, Tianshui Sect has helped him a lot. Although there is a transaction involved, Lin Bai is not a person who does not miss his old feelings.
The reason why he still has concerns in his heart is because of his special existence.
The Supreme Appearance is just one of the many secrets in his body, and the Devouring Heavenly Dao Fruit is the biggest secret deep in his heart.
If the news about his identity as a member of the Tiantian Clan were made public, it would definitely be harmful to the Tianshui Sect but not beneficial at all.
How high the Tianshui Sect can rise today relying on Lin Bai's prestige will be how low it will fall in the future when Lin Bai's identity as a Tuntian clan is exposed.
"Hey, we can only take one step at a time."
Lin Bai thought about it and found no better way. The only solution for now was to cross the river by feeling the stones.
We will talk about the affairs of the Tiantian Clan later. At present, we have no idea whether the Tianshui Sect can survive the current turmoil in the imperial capital.
"Nine-melody elixir!"
After getting rid of the unnecessary thoughts in his mind, Lin Bai placed three hundred thousand immortal jade in front of him and took out the Nine-Tune Spiritual Pill given to him by the third prince.
This elixir helps Lin Bai break through to the realm of high-grade Taiyi Dao Fruit, but it still requires the assistance of a large amount of fairy jade.
"let's start."
Lin Bai took a deep breath and activated the magic circles inside and outside the secret room, completely isolating this place from the outside world.
Then, the Heaven-Swallowing Dao Fruit that had been deposited in Lin Bai's body for a long time began to slowly circulate, and waves of suction spread out from Lin Bai's limbs and bones, quickly encompassing the mountains of Xian Yulang in front of him.
The fairy jade pieces that exuded a charming light began to collapse and turn into fly ash at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the fairy spirit energy inside them lingered towards Lin Bai.
Swallowing the Heavenly Dao Fruit is like the land that has been dry for a long time suddenly getting rain, sucking in the immortal jade energy in an almost greedy state.
When Lin Bai saw this, he didn't think much, so he swallowed the Jiuqu Spirit Pill into his belly, and the Heaven-Swallowing Dao Fruit immediately started refining it.
The majestic fairy spirit energy and the medicinal power of the Nine-Tune Spiritual Pill were continuously refined by the Tiantian Dao Fruit, and turned into an angry mountain torrent in Lin Bai's body, washing away every inch of the meridians in Lin Bai's body.
As Lin Bai circulated the "Five Elements Sutra", the fairy spirit energy and the medicinal power of the Nine-Tune Spiritual Pill in his body began to slowly infuse into the Tao Fruit.
Lin Bai looked inside the Dao Fruit in his body, and saw that countless runes and symbols gathered into a fruit state, filled with five types of gases: gold, green, blue, red, and gray.
Under the countless runes and symbols, there is a mysterious power flowing vaguely.
This Tao Fruit should originally be called the "Five Elements Tao Fruit" because it is cultivated from the "Five Elements Sutra".
But because when Lin Bai was condensing the Dao Fruit, he fused it with the Swallowing Martial Spirit, causing the Dao Fruit to transform into the Heaven-Swallowing Dao Fruit.
The light of the Dao Fruit flickers, and it seems to contain infinite avenues, and it seems that one can glimpse the ultimate way of heaven one by one.
With the continuous injection of immortal jade energy and the medicinal power of Jiuqu Lingdan, the light of Dao Fruit became more and more brilliant, like a star constantly rotating.
…
"What!"
"Sage Lin Bai is in seclusion again?"
Imperial Capital, Li Family.
Many ancestors and elders of the Li family gathered together, gloomily gathering news from all over the imperial capital.
The current head of the Li family looked solemn and said in a cold voice: "Go and invite Yi Song, the holy son of the Tianxian Sect, or Chen Yule, the holy son of the Chen family."
"Invite them quickly."
In the Li family ancestral hall, someone immediately replied: "Reporting to the head of the family, Chen Yule and Yi Song announced their intention to retreat to the high-grade Taiyi Daoguo realm shortly after Saint Lin Bai's last retreat."
"What! Are they all in seclusion too?" The head of the Li family was stunned and a little surprised.
Then he asked: "Where is Qian Hen, the saint son of the Qian family? Ink Dan, the saint of the Danxia Sect? Huang Qingyun, the saint of the Holy Lotus Palace?"
"They're all in seclusion too!"
Hearing the answer from the person below, the face of the head of the Li family became more and more gloomy. Most of the saints and saints of the seven sects of the five families of Chu suddenly announced that they would all go into seclusion. This was obviously not in line with common sense.
Although it is a matter of course that warriors at the level of saints and saints should retreat to break through the realm of cultivation.
But... among the five families and seven sects, Lin Bai, the most popular holy son of the Tianshui Sect in Chu, announced his retreat, the saint son of the Chen family also announced his retreat, and the saint Huang Qingyun of the Holy Lotus Palace also announced his retreat.
In an instant, half of the saints and saints from the five families and seven sects entered a state of seclusion.
This is obviously abnormal!
"Something big is going to happen."
The head of the Li family keenly sensed that something was not right, and glared at Li Mo in the corner.
Thinking of the saints and saints of other sects of the Five Families and Seven Sects being so dazzling and his own family being so miserable, the head of the Li family has a headache.
Li Mo, who was in the corner, suddenly felt the gaze from the owner of the house. He trembled with fright and looked panicked.
The head of the Li family took a deep breath and asked: "Did the news from the imperial capital ever clarify what exactly happened?"
