Chapter 157: The Eighth Layer of Transformation Realm
Mei Jiangxue came to find him before Tianxuan returned to Xiaoshui City. Lin Yan knew this, and his heart was filled with gratitude to Mei Jiangxue in the online game Wushuang.
Lin Yan did not forget that when Mei Jiangxue was arguing with him just now, she once said that she helped conceal the news that she had left Dragon Island in front of Qing Jue and Tian Xuan. It can be imagined that Mei Jiangxue had to bear a lot of pressure. Because as long as Mei Xingxue is a little careless and casually reveals even a little bit of information about herself, an old fox like Qing Jue, especially Tian Xuan, will immediately notice the clues.
And this time Qing Jue was killed mysteriously, Tian Xuan would definitely rush back to Qing Wumen in time to deal with the funeral arrangements. Mei Jiangxue deliberately rushed to find herself before this time and solved the matter just now, which naturally avoided a lot of trouble for herself. .
Lin Yan was always afraid of Tian Xuan, whom he had only met once.
Not only because Tian Xuan is well-informed and an old fox, but also because his strength is vulnerable in front of Tian Xuan.
This made him feel very insecure, so of course he couldn't leave any clues for Tianxuan to catch at the moment, otherwise, he would probably be done with it. You know, the one he killed was the head of the Qingwu Sect. As the leader of the Qingwu Sect, he Once Tianxuan figures out the truth, he will definitely kill him without hesitation.
Fortunately, Tian Xuan should not doubt him now, which made him feel more at ease.
However, just because he doesn't want to see Tianxuan doesn't mean he can really disappear.
In fact, the day after Mei Xiangxue left, Lin Yan embarked on the road to Qingwu Gate.
Although Lin Yan was very reluctant to go to Qingwumen, firstly he wanted to avoid Tianxuan, and secondly he didn't want to express condolences to Qingjue, an old man.
But in order not to arouse others' suspicion, he had to go, and he had to pretend to be very sad. Who told him that his place in the competition was given by people from the Qingwu Sect? Besides, his relationship with the Qingwu Sect is superficial. It must be pretty good. Now that the leader of a faction is dead, it would really be against common sense if he didn't show up.
In this way, Lin Yan only made some preparations, and after wearing black clothes, he reluctantly went out.
There were many people going to Qingwu Gate today, but Qingwu Gate was not lively at all.
Because Qing Jue died, these people who went to Qingwu Mountain came to express their condolences.
Seeing that many people on the stone steps leading to the mountain were wearing clothes of the same color as himself, Lin Yan cursed in his heart: all of them were turned into spirits. At least from the outside, it was hard to tell who was related to them. Qing Jue is getting closer, but who has always been at odds with Qing Jue?
Of course, in terms of acting skills, Lin Yan will never lose to these seniors who are twenty or thirty years older than him.
An expression of grief and regret naturally appeared on Lin Yan's face, and it followed him up the mountain. During this process, no one would think that Lin Yan killed Qing Jue, and no one would know that Lin Yan was the one who killed Qing Jue. He was secretly cursing the old man Qingjue in his heart.
After entering Qingwu Gate, they naturally received the treatment they deserved as a condolence guest. They walked several times in front of the mahogany coffin where Qing Jue lay, expressing their regret for Qing Jue's "untimely death" and comforting her. With a few words from Qingjue's family, the condolence has come to an end.
During this period, Lin Yan would inevitably run into Qingfeng.
Perhaps it was because he was particularly sad because of his father's death. Although Qingfeng was surprised that his "love rival" could still come back alive from Dragon Island, he did not ridicule himself on the spot, but there was an obvious look in his eyes. hostility.
Facing Qingfeng's unkind eyes, Lin Yan just smiled in his heart and didn't take it seriously.
Lin Yan knew that it was Qing Jue's idea to send killers to Long Island to kill him. Qing Feng must not know the details. Otherwise, as soon as Qing Jue died, Qing Feng would have immediately pointed the finger at him, but Qing Feng did not.
Therefore, now Qingfeng sees himself as a "love rival" who "fights for Junior Sister Xue Jiang".
"Master Qingfeng, the leader of Qing Jue has passed away. Please express your condolences and accept the change." Lin Yan said the last thing and then left the mourning hall.
Lin Yan had no intention of provoking Qingfeng, but if Qingfeng still blocked himself in the pine trees and threatened to break his legs like he did at first, Lin Yan wouldn't mind giving Qingfeng some color. Take a look, and let Qingfeng know that he is no longer the Lin Yan who only has the strength of the innate realm.
Not long after, the guests who came to express their condolences all left the mourning hall one after another and left Qingwu Gate.
But Lin Yan could only stay where he was because Senior Tianxuan said that after finishing his work, he wanted to talk to him about the latest chapter of Campus All-round Master.
Although Lin Yan was deeply reluctant to do so, he could not shirk it and had to stand near the mourning hall with a solemn expression on his face, which really made him uncomfortable.
A full hour later, when things were probably over, Tian Xuan sent someone to invite him to a private room.
In the room, Tian Xuan still seemed to be in good spirits, but the bloodshot eyes left showed that since the death of Qing Jue, the leader, the leader of the sect and the Dinghai Shenzhen have still put in a lot of effort for the stability of the Qingwu Sect. It took a lot of heart.
After saying hello and politely greeting each other, Lin Yan waited quietly for Tian Xuan to reveal the purpose of this conversation.
When Tian Xuan asked him to come here, he definitely did not regard himself as a suspect for killing Qing Jue, but he should just ask about what happened on Long Island.
As expected, after Tian Xuan said a few words of "cheers and greetings", the topic naturally turned to his escape from Dragon Island.
"Lin Yan, I thought I would never see you again. I'm very happy that you can come back." Tian Xuan sat on the Grand Master's chair, stroking his long snow-white beard and looking at Lin Yan with a kind look on his face.
Lin Yan did not dare to show any dissatisfaction in front of this old fox, so he raised his hands and said respectfully: "Thank you, Senior Tianxuan, for your concern. I am a poor man. Maybe God hates me, but he allowed me to survive. hehe."
Lin Yan kicked this topic back as a ball.
Lin Yan knew that with Tian Xuan's experience, he naturally understood that he did not want to discuss anything about Long Island. If Tian Xuan really respected his small role, he would naturally not ask again.
But just as Lin Yan expected, Tian Xuan didn't intend to give up just like that without getting any information about Dragon Island.
So Tianxuan simply relied on his elders as an elder and said: "Oh? I heard that there was a lot of noise when Dragon Island was closed. Even the water in the inland lake was evaporated, and all the fish and ferocious beasts in it died. Only the skeleton is left, but Lin Yan you can walk out of Dragon Island unharmed. If you say you are particularly lucky, I don’t believe it, old man. Lin Yan, do you mind telling me, this bad old man, about Dragon Island? What happened?"
"I have lived for more than a hundred years, but I am just curious about such novel things!"
Tianxuan held the tea cup and drank a few sips of tea, then closed the lid with a smile on his face.
Lin Yan secretly cursed "old fox" in his heart, but calmly said the rhetoric he had prepared before going to Qingwu Mountain.
"Actually, I also feel that I am very lucky to be able to escape from Dragon Island alive. If God didn't have mercy on me, I wouldn't believe it even if I were killed."
Lin Yan pretended to be grateful to have survived the disaster, and his tone was full of happiness and contentment. It seemed that every breath of air he could breathe now was God's endless gift to him.
"Oh? Lin Yan, are you really lucky? Tell me, let me listen." Tian Xuan said with a smile.
Lin Yan said unhurriedly: "When a sudden change occurred on Dragon Island, the first reaction of this junior was to flee outside. But at that time, you also knew that I was the weakest among a group of practitioners, and only the innate However, by chance, he met a Qingfeng Wolf. Haha, the Qingfeng Wolf was only at the early stage of Mortal Transformation, and could not make any waves in front of any other practitioner, but not this junior. The junior was entangled by the damn Qingfeng Wolf, and his life was in danger. Even though he knew that a sudden change was taking place on Long Island at that time, the junior's biggest concern was to save his life from the claws of the Qingfeng Wolf. "
"But the junior's strength is still no match for that Qingfeng wolf. Just when I thought he would definitely die, the mutation in Long Island finally broke out. The junior only felt that the air around him was moving rapidly, and later he realized that it was Long Dao who was here. The whole thing shook violently, and then the Qingfeng Wolf disappeared for no reason. The junior was also wrapped in a ball of air and lifted off the ground. However, it was probably because of the shock that he fainted. But the good luck started from this time. I didn’t expect that I would be swept away by a strange wind and be magically taken out of Dragon Island. But perhaps my seniors didn’t believe it. When I woke up again, I found that there were several red-blooded wild ginsengs around me. It has grown a lot, and what surprises me even more is that I have been in a coma for several months!"
At this point, Lin Yan stopped.
This set of rhetoric seemed to be speaking from heaven, but there were indeed no loopholes in it. Lin Yan was naturally not afraid that Tian Xuan would continue to struggle with this issue.
After Tianxuan heard this, he could only laugh dryly but never mentioned the matter again.
Tian Xuan probably also knew that it would be very difficult for the junior in front of him to tell the true story of Dragon Island, although he was young but very experienced in dealing with things.
Moreover, Tianxuan also believed that this junior was a friend rather than an enemy after all, and because of his status, he absolutely could not press him for questioning.
Therefore, Tian Xuan could only change the topic and started chatting with Lin Yan about some unnutritious topics.
Although the atmosphere in the room was good, the conversation ended abruptly after twenty minutes.
Tianxuan personally sent Lin Yan out of the room.
Lin Yan was not proud of this, and he still left Qingwu Sect after completing all the required etiquette.
"Even an expert like Tian Xuan wants to know the secrets of Dragon Island through me. It seems that others will only be more interested in me. Poor me, I was just forced to stay on Dragon Island by those two giant dragons. But it has caused so much trouble. It seems that before the city-wide competition is held, I have to show my face as little as possible."
After making up his mind, Lin Yan secretly went to Tiansha Sect the next day, naturally to thank Qiu Li for helping him out of trouble at Qingwu Sect.
After visiting the two sects in two days, for the sake of safety, Lin Yan moved out of the courtyard and quietly ran to the hinterland of Niutoushan alone.
Lin Yan plans to stay here for a while until the city-wide competition is held in half a month.
During this period, I naturally didn't care about things at the foot of the mountain, but took advantage of this peaceful period to practice.
With the help of the Bull Demon King, his strength has reached the seventh level of the Mortal Realm. It is not a big problem to cope with this city-wide competition, but when he thinks about entering the Emperor City where masters are everywhere, let alone seeking justice from the Lin family, Even if you want to protect yourself, with this level of strength, it is probably not enough.
Therefore, for half a month, except for necessary meals and sleep, he practiced wholeheartedly.
Continuing to cultivate vitality according to half of the nameless mental secrets is the focus of cultivation. Only by increasing the level and quantity of vitality can a breakthrough be achieved. Sword moves, star formations and the four tones of the bull demon are all auxiliary means. Lin Yan has always seen this very clearly.
Fortunately, although half of the secret book is extremely precious, it is not profound. In other words, the secret book expresses the most profound methods of vitality cultivation in the most concise and easy-to-understand words, which saves Lin Yan a lot of time and also makes Lin Yan Many detours have been avoided. At least from the first day of practicing Yuan Qi until now, Lin Yan has not shown any signs of going crazy.
Half a month of continuous cultivation of vitality in the War Sword Space is equivalent to two and a half months outside. Even if the progress every day is small, the results accumulated over a long period of time are also impressive. In addition, he has swallowed the Goblin Power previously. Qi, red-blooded wild ginseng and dragon eggs made the vitality in his body more abundant than that of warriors of the same level. Therefore, after half a month, Lin Yan finally made another breakthrough and successfully reached the eighth level of transformation!
Feeling the vitality of the freely moving vitality in his meridians, Lin Yan felt really happy.
Lin Yan did not expect that the time it would take to break through from the seventh heaven to the eighth heaven would be so short. In addition to being grateful for the magical sword space, Lin Yan would also be grateful to one person - the Bull Demon King.
It was the Bull Demon King who helped him reach the seventh level of transformation and improved his physique, so that he could achieve today's breakthrough.
Moreover, the Bull Demon King is indeed miraculous. After forcibly improving his strength, he did not suffer any discomfort.
And the second magical power that had not been revealed finally appeared with this breakthrough, and it was still related to the characteristics of the body.
The ears are clear and the eyes are clear.
This is the second magical power Lin Yan has obtained.
Unlike the "Copper Skin and Iron Bone" which only needs to be used to take effect, once the magical power of "Clear Ear and Bright Eyes" is generated, it will completely improve one's hearing and vision without showing signs of fading.
The benefits this brought to Lin Yan were obvious.
In addition to being able to see and hear five times more clearly than before, of course it also makes Lin Yan's consciousness sharper. It is conceivable that when fighting with others, relying on this magical power can make it easier to see combat opportunities and detect them earlier. Danger.
In short, with the improvement of hearing and vision, his spiritual sense has been enhanced, allowing him to better adapt to complex and changeable environments.
After getting this magical power, Lin Yan was very happy. With it, it was equivalent to making up for some of his own disadvantages.
This disadvantage refers to aspects related to spiritual awareness when compared with others.
Lin Yan knew that it had only been just over half a year since he embarked on the martial arts journey. Compared with those of his peers who had been practicing for five or ten years, he had obviously gained less insights and experience. Naturally, since I don't have as much time to practice as others, I will always have a shortcoming in terms of spiritual awareness.
However, the emergence of the supernatural power of "sightedness and hearing" automatically improved his spiritual awareness a lot, quickly making up for his shortcomings in this aspect.
…
After a brief tidying up, Lin Yan quickly descended from Niutou Mountain and returned to the courtyard.
Tomorrow, the biennial city-wide competition for young masters in Xiaoshui City will begin.
