Chapter 167: Disadvantages of Cultivation Techniques
Chen Linjing sat in the training room, frowning.
The sudden appearance of Ye Jingyun and Xu Ruolan made him feel very troubled.
The main reason is that Ye Jingyun has a certain understanding of his natural ability. Although he used luck to cover up his past when he was in Kaiyuan City, the other party may not have other suspicions.
I don't know what happened after he threw away the Thunderbolt 4, whether Yu Yuehai was dead or not, and whether the patriarchs of the five major families and Zhao Zhengyuan were dead or alive.
All these questions would be clear to Ye Jingyun, but Chen Lin would not ask because he did not want to admit his identity.
It is currently not feasible to kill people and silence them. With Ye Jingyun's identity and means, his strength after establishing the foundation may not be weaker than him. It is not certain who will kill him if he really takes action.
Then we can only refuse to admit it.
As long as you don't admit that you are Chen Lin, it will be useless even if the other party confirms it.
With his current status as an alchemist in the foundation-building stage, no one can threaten him as long as a strong person from the golden elixir does not come forward. Even if there is a strong person from the golden elixir behind him and Mu Xingchen's face is there, he cannot go too far.
Once you leave here, you will change your identity and continue to hide.
Chen Lin thought about it for a while and felt that there was no danger and felt slightly relieved.
He has no grudge against Ye Jingyun. On the contrary, he and Ye Jingyun worked together to deal with Tai Yuehai. The other party recognized him and most likely wanted him to refine something so that he would not shout about beating or killing.
It's just that Xu Ruolan is always a loophole, and she still needs to deal with it. Even if she doesn't kill anyone, she still needs to understand the characteristics of the opponent's ability so that she can block it in a targeted manner.
In a house somewhere in the city.
Ye Jingyun held a communication talisman in her hand and listened to the voice coming from inside.
"He is actually an alchemist from the Dan Pavilion, and is he related to Mu Xingchen?"
After listening, she couldn't help but frown slightly.
The foundation-building alchemy master of the Dan Pavilion is not a low-level person. Not to mention her, not even the Golden Dan cultivator can forcefully bully her, not to mention that the other party is Mu Xingchen's.
However, she didn't want to force herself, she just wanted to find the other party to refine a pill. Since the other party didn't want to admit her identity, she could just treat him as Lin Feiyu and make the deal.
"Someone's coming!"
Thinking of this, Ye Jingyun shouted outside.
Immediately a young man came in.
"What is Elder Ye's order?"
The young man saluted respectfully.
"Go and invite Master Yuan over, and tell him that I have something to do with him."
······
After making sure to ignore Ye Jingyun, Chen Lin began to concentrate on refining alchemy, and always paid attention to the situation outside.
Although he didn't intend to pay attention to the other party, the appearance of this woman made him change his previous plan and decided to continue handing in the Foundation Establishment Pill with a yield rate of five pills from three hundred materials.
If someone searches for it, they say they are lucky.
He wanted to lay the groundwork first. If there really was a golden elixir cultivator behind Ye Jingyun and came to visit him, he would continue to maintain the persona of having better luck.
If his worries were unfounded, he would not be coveted by others just because of his higher rate of success.
Moreover, in this way, the merit points can be accumulated quickly. He must redeem everything he wants in the shortest possible time to avoid regrets when something unexpected happens and he has to leave.
There are a lot of foundation-building elixirs in the storage bag, and there is no need to continue refining them. All you need to do is collect the materials and hand over the elixirs on time.
While he was studying and refining Qingshuang Dan, he was also studying the escape method.
In the quiet room, Chen Lin held the jade slip in his hand and looked attentive.
Understanding spells is his weakness, and he is mentally prepared to spend time doing it.
It's a pity that after the foundation building period, the Enlightenment Pill has no effect. Otherwise, under such a situation, he would really not be able to help but take a few pills.
Not only were the pirated elixirs he refined ineffective, but the genuine enlightenment elixirs were only limited to the Qi training period.
The reason is that the special energy of the elixir cannot act on the mind because the foundation-building monk has formed a spiritual consciousness.
You can't take chances, you can only grind hard.
January goes by in a blink of an eye.
After Chen Lin handed in the Foundation Establishment Pill, he finally collected enough merits to redeem the exercises and was ready to go to the exchange office.
But I was still wavering in my heart, not sure which one to choose.
After hesitating for a while, he decided to visit Mu Xingchen and listen to his opinions.
Although he was a little apprehensive about getting close to the other party, fearing that he would be attacked from a distance by the leader of the Prayer Cult, the only one he could ask for help now was the other party.
"Have you not practiced the exercises yet? Which one are you interested in? Let me hear about it?"
Mu Xingchen was very busy, but he still met Chen Lin. He was surprised when he heard Chen Lin's inquiry.
Chen Lin immediately stated his choice.
"Both of these exercises are not suitable."
Mu Xingchen shook his head after hearing this.
Then he explained: "Although the Heavenly Thunder Wood Transformation Technique can derive the thunder attribute, the effect is not great, and it is quite troublesome to practice. I guess the purpose of choosing this technique is to practice the thunder escape technique, but it does not have the thunder attribute.
The spiritual root, the little thunder power derived from the technique alone is not enough to use the Thunder Escape Technique."
Chen Lin frowned slightly, this technique would be a bit useless if it couldn't be used to perform the Thunder Escape Technique.
At the same time, I was secretly glad that I didn't have any impulse. Once the technique is practiced, it is difficult to change, and I would feel like committing suicide.
"The Taiqing Tuna Technique is even worse."
Mu Xingchen's voice sounded again.
"The speed of practicing this technique is too slow. I think your bone age should be over fifty. Practicing this technique basically ends the hope of the golden elixir. Are you willing to do so?"
Chen Lin was silent.
It’s no wonder people say that any resource is inferior to the guidance of a famous teacher. The other person’s words hit the nail on the head, right down to the source.
A few words from the other party saved him from countless detours.
Chen Lin became more and more respectful.
"Master Mu, I went to the exchange office before, and there were only a few foundation-building exercises in the exchange catalog. I have carefully selected these two, but are there other ways to redeem them?"
Mu Xingchen shook his head decisively, "No, the best skills are rare to begin with. They are all secrets that are not passed down by the major sects. Even the core disciples of our sect have to receive them layer by layer, and they have to take the inner demon oath.
It is not allowed to be spread to outsiders. There is basically no good stuff collected in the alliance, so don’t make any decisions there."
"Our Qingyang Sect has exercises suitable for your practice, but you need to join the sect before you can apply. However, the current situation of the sect is not optimistic, and I don't recommend you to join. If it doesn't work, try other channels. The current situation
, there will always be some sects that cannot survive that are willing to sell their inherited skills, and I will help you find them."
Chen Lin quickly thanked him.
The other party was very busy, so two groups of people came to see him in a short while. After thanking him, he said goodbye and left.
Along the way, he was in a very depressed mood.
I didn't expect that there are so many methods in the practice, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to find one that suits me.
"Young Daoist Lin is such a workaholic, it's so hard to meet you."
As soon as Chen Lin walked to his residence, he saw a middle-aged man walking over with a smile.
"It turns out to be Master Yuan. What do you want from me?"
Chen Lin glanced at the other person. This person was also the alchemist of the Alchemy Pavilion, named Yuan Kuo. The two had met several times, but they had no friendship.
Sensing Chen Lin's perfunctory attitude, Yuan Kuo didn't care, and still said with a smile: "It's nothing important. I just invited fellow Taoist Lin to attend an alchemy exchange meeting."
"Exchange meeting?" Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I've been busy with my affairs recently, and I don't have time. I have failed to live up to the kindness of fellow Taoist Yuan."
In order not to cause trouble, he has decided not to leave the Dan Pavilion unless he has nothing to do. He will not participate in such a gathering, and he is not familiar with the other party. Who knows if it is a serious gathering.
However, Yuan Kuo still did not give up: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Lin, the participating alchemists are all from our Dan Pavilion. It will be held by Alchemist Yunxia. The venue is within the Dan Pavilion. You don't have to go far and it won't be a waste of time.
"
Then, he said with a hint of meaning: "And at the exchange meeting, in addition to exchanging alchemy experiences, everyone will also exchange some other things, as well as foreign treasures. The chance of rare items appearing is very high."
Chen Lin was stunned.
It was said to be an exchange of alchemy experiences, but it was actually a private exchange meeting.
The alliance controls cultivation resources and only allows for exchange of merit. Those without merit cannot spend their spiritual stones, so various private exchange meetings have occurred. The official turns a blind eye to this situation.
If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If the management is too strict, the monks will have no way out and may run to the God of Prayer Sect.
"What time?"
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lin did not refuse directly.
He is currently worried about the exercises, and attending the exchange meeting is also a way to do so. Moreover, if the place is in the Dan Pavilion, there is no danger.
The Alchemist Yunxia mentioned by the other party has a high reputation in the Alchemy Pavilion and seems to have a good character.
Hearing this, Yuan Kuo took out an invitation letter and said: "In three days' time, this is the invitation letter. I will wait for the arrival of Master Lin."
Then he smiled and said: "Then I won't disturb fellow Taoist Lin, and I will invite the other two new alchemists. The world is in chaos now, and we alchemists also have to join us to keep warm."
After saying that, he handed over his hands and left.
Chen Lin walked into the courtyard with the invitation letter, thinking that if there were no clues about the exercises within three days, he would go and participate.
Without the exercises, it would really delay your practice.
But before the third day, things changed.
The day after receiving the invitation letter, Mu Xingchen suddenly sent someone to call Chen Lin and asked him to come over.
When he came back, he already had an extra jade slip in his hand.
Entering the room, Chen Lin looked at the jade slip in his hand with a complicated expression.
He never expected that the technique he had longed for could be obtained through such a channel.
What does Luo Qinglan mean? What does Luo Qinglan want to express by going all the way to give him a skill?
Yes, this jade slip was what Luo Qinglan asked Mu Xingchen to give to him.
According to Mu Xingchen, the other party conveyed information to Luo Qinglan yesterday and mentioned some problems with his skills, so Luo Qinglan directly sent this jade slip.
In his mind, he recalled Mu Xingchen's strange expression when he handed him the technique. He was speechless and had some strange thoughts at the same time.
The scene of slaying demons in the secret room became clear again in my mind.
