Chapter 9: In the City
Lin Chen in the evening.
Rush back to the mountain gate of the Shanshui School from Shanshui City.
He bought some self-defense armor in the city, as well as a few exercise books.
The sun is setting.
The blood-red glow sets off the mountain peaks like a dream, and a layer of faint glazed divine light envelops the entire mountain peak, which is the colorful light refracted by the aura in the afterglow of the setting sun.
A few cranes.
Wander in the sky and watch the cyan palaces that are starting to light up on the mountain peaks.
Lin Chen's expression became obsessed.
"How is that possible? That kid isn't dead?"
Not far away, a group of Dao cultivators walked in front of him, and one of them had a pale face and an incredulous face.
"What the hell is going on?"
On the side of the cultivator, it was Li Gu and his party.
"Today, I went to the White Dao Guild and issued a mission, asking Lin Chen to die today, but he ......"
The man told him everything he had planned today, and originally he wanted to wait for a few pills from Long Gongzi after receiving the news of Lin Chen's death.
"Now it seems that nothing is possible. ”
"Impossible, Lin Chen's waste, it is said that he only has the realm of less than the second grade, and he is not a talented person, only the old man Bai treats him as a treasure, and the two fourth-grade Taoist cultivators, no matter how bad they are, they can clean him up. Li Gudao.
"This matter is very strange, it seems that someone may be secretly helping him? That Long Hai pondered for a moment and said.
"If it weren't for the sect's prohibition of disciples from killing each other, I would have slapped him to death with one sword. The man looked annoyed and said, "This time I lost my wife and my soldiers." ”
"Who said that disciples can't kill each other, as long as they get on the stage, it will be okay to kill him?" Long Hai on the side suddenly laughed gloomily.
"Senior Brother Long is wise, this matter will be left to me. At Li Gu's side, another attendant said.
"It's not easy to force him, money, if you do this well, you will be rewarded. Long Hai on the side suddenly laughed.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Long, by the way, and Li Yuting's slut. One of them sneered.
"Li Yuting will stay for now, and when my strength is improving to a higher level, I will ask the elder to let her be my maid, and when the time comes, ...... Hey. ”
Lin Chen saw Long Hai and the others from a distance, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Let you jump for now, and I'll show you the colors soon. ”
Lin Chen thought in his heart, turned around and walked into an ancient stone house.
"Elder Bai, this is the spirit stone coin that I exchanged for today, fifty spirit stone coins, you can count them. ”
When Lin Chen entered the stone house, he saw Elder Bai sitting on a Taishi chair, his eyes slightly closed, his face wrinkled, and he looked very old.
"Well done, Lin Chen, I will personally enter the city tomorrow, buy two materials for the Tsukidan, and refine some Tsukidan for you. ”
Elder Bai stood up from the Taishi chair and looked at Lin Chen kindly, the wrinkles on his face also relaxed a little.
"Thank you, Elder Bai. ”
Lin Chen couldn't wait to immediately say that he already had the strength of the fifth grade.
But.
In the end, he held back.
If his adventure was exposed, not only would he be in danger, but even Elder Bai would be implicated.
After Lin Chen returned to his room, he closed the door tightly.
A mahogany box was removed from his clothes.
With a slightly excited expression, he opened the box and took out the purple Tsukidan inside, as if admiring a fairy, and couldn't take his eyes off it for a long time.
Lin Chen threw Tsukidan into his mouth.
The body refining technique was running, and Lin Chen quickly felt that the Zhuji Dan had been transformed into medicinal power in his body, flowing endlessly in the meridians.
That feeling.
It's not much different from absorbing spiritual power.
The medicinal power of the Tsukidan continued to pour into the dantian, and began to converge towards the roots and bones like mountains.
That's when it happened.
Something happened.
In the seven groups of aura that were originally suspended in Lin Chen's dantian, a group of cyan aura began to bloom with brilliance, and the medicinal power of the Zhuji Dan seemed to be summoned by these brilliance, and they all drilled into the special part of the dantian.
"I see, I see, the medicinal power of Tsukidan can be used as a power supply for special energy. ”
Lin Chen was so excited that he was almost speechless.
It was the wee hours of the morning.
On the mountain peak not far away, a layer of white mist drifted gently like a thin veil, and on the dense trees, there were crystal dew drops hanging everywhere.
The sun has not yet come out, but many beginner disciples have already begun to cultivate.
The introductory disciples are all a group of young cultivators who have cultivation talent and are very ambitious.
For them, cultivation has simply become the only one in their lives, so very few people are lazy.
At the moment, in the courtyard of a palace halfway up the mountain.
Long Hai sat under an ancient pine tree, his eyes gently closed, and a faint aura surged out from his body, injecting into the twenty spirit stone coins beside him.
After three hours passed, the twenty spirit stone coins finally became dim, and all the spiritual power inside was absorbed by Long Hai
The scorching sun shines on the earth.
Lin Chen's figure was constantly moving in the grove, practicing a powerful move.
There was a loud bang, and a huge stone block was hit by Lin Chen's punch, almost collapsing the whole piece, and it was covered with many cracks.
If this punch hits a fourth-grade cultivator, I'm afraid that one move will make him unable to get up.
Five days to come.
Lin Chen has been cultivating hard, and the book of talisman exercises he bought has been practiced by him to perfection, and he can perform it as he wants.
And in the past five days, the hundreds of spirit stone coins that Lin Chen had managed to obtain were almost exhausted.
His strength.
At this time, he had been greatly improved, but Lin Chen also knew that his current physique was very different from before, and it was often more difficult than other cultivators to advance to the next realm.
Lin Chen was not discouraged, but his face had more confidence, and he walked towards the outside of the grove.
"Oh, I've been so busy cultivating these days that I forgot to go to see his old man. ”
Lin Chen suddenly remembered Elder Bai, and a trace of shame appeared on his face.
"Ahem!"
As soon as Lin Chen approached the stone alchemy room, he heard a violent coughing sound coming from inside, which lasted for several times before it began to ease down.
Quietly opening a crack in the door, Lin Chen saw a thin and thin figure sitting decadently in front of a Dan furnace.
"Ahem! Hehe! Failed, failed? It seems that I'm really old, and I'm useless, cough ......."
After the old man finished speaking, he couldn't help coughing violently, coughing so much that even his thin back bent down.
This back, I don't know how many hardships and sufferings I have endured!
"Donghai, if only you were still with me?"
The old man stroked a sword in his hand, and his voice was desolate.
"Elder Bai, I've come to see you. ”
Lin Chen sighed, pushed open the door and walked into the alchemy room.
He knew that Old Man Feng couldn't help but think of a disciple he had cultivated again.
"Lin Chen, the old man's first medicinal herb failed to practice the Zhuji Dan, hehe, don't be afraid, we still have one more chance, I will definitely be able to do it this time."
After Elder Bai saw Lin Chen, the sorrow on his face disappeared and he smiled.
In Lin Chen's opinion, how bitter this smile was.
"Elder Bai, don't worry, this Zhuji Dan is refined, the success rate is only half, it really can't be refined slowly in the future, I can wait slowly." ”
Lin Chen helped Elder Bai to the chair.
Elder Bai's eyes narrowed slightly, his face showed kindness, and he opened his mouth to say something.
Suddenly, his face turned pale and he coughed violently.
Lin Chen finally realized something at this time, although Elder Bai looked thin, he was a cultivator after all, and he was already free from all diseases, so it was impossible for him to cough so badly like a mortal.
Unless there is a possibility, he is injured.
His eyes swept around the alchemy room, and Lin Chen really saw a pile of familiar medicinal slag, which was the medicinal materials for refining Tongneidan.
This Tong Nei Dan, like the Xu Yuan Dan, is also a pill that can be used to treat internal injuries.
"Elder Bai, are you injured, what happened?"
Lin Chen asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, I'm old, I'm useless, and even some robbers aren't afraid of me anymore. ”
After Elder Bai took a black pill, his cough finally stopped, and then he sighed.
Under Lin Chen's questioning, Elder Bai told everything that had happened.
A few days ago, he took his savings of a few hundred spirit stone coins and personally went to Shanshui City to buy medicinal herbs, but he was besieged by a mysterious warrior halfway.
Elder Bai's strength was not weak, but after all, he was already old, and he also suffered a big loss in the hands of this well-trained martial artist, and was seriously injured.
Originally, this kind of serious injury could still be treated if you took the second grade pill.
However, he still used his spirit stone coins to buy medicinal materials for refining Zhuji Dan.
"Lin Chen, I feel like I don't have much time to live, refining a furnace of Zhuji Dan may be the last thing I can do for you. ”
"You don't have to worry about me, I've lived enough in this life, and my only hope is that you can become a beginner disciple and achieve something on the path of cultivation. ”
Elder Bai glanced at Lin Chen deeply, and without resting, he began to put the second medicinal herb into the Dan furnace and continue refining.
Lin Chen wanted to stop him and let him recuperate from his injuries, but when he saw the old man's thin body and stubborn face, where could he still speak.
"Ah...... Elder Bai, I will seek justice for you. Lin Chen's teeth secretly swore in his heart.
