Chapter 54: Mountain Guardian Spirit Beast
In the bluestone courtyard, Lin slowly moved a rocking chair and sat comfortably in the center of the courtyard, squinting comfortably at the sun in the sky.
There was a big bowl of warm tea on the table next to him, and from time to time he picked up the big bowl and drank a few sips, although he couldn't learn the skills of other people drinking a small cup of tea for a day, Lin who drank it slowly felt that his small life was becoming more and more comfortable.
Turning his head and glancing at the dumb who was opening his mouth wide on the side, the cow chewing peonies and gnawing on some rare elixirs in the Qi refining period, Lin slowly had a trace of disdain on his face, which was used to hide the trace of envy in his eyes.
Especially after his eyes stayed on the few medicinal materials beside Dumb for a long time, the expression on Lin Slowly's face was even thicker, but the saliva flowing from the bottom of his heart was already overflowing, silently cursing Dumb's good background.
It's been two months since I returned to the Sword Driving Gate, except for a fairly kind-looking elder from the late stage of the Sword Exorcism Gate's foundation building when he just came back, and asked Lin to slowly work hard to break through the foundation building as soon as possible and then left, but Lin slowly always felt that the old man with a gray beard looked a little weird, and only after knowing that he was Senior Sister Xu Bai's master did he dispel this idea.
As for Senior Brother Wei Ping, Lin slowly needs to be called Senior Uncle now, after Wei Ping came back, although the cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building refused to take on the position of elder, but the seniority rose for sure, and the seniority in the cultivation realm was all according to the cultivation, which was the case.
If Lin slowly breaks through the foundation at this time, then Senior Uncle Wei Ping will become Senior Brother Wei Ping again.
The elixir that Dumb eats as a meal is sent by the little girl sent by Wei Ping, and as for Lin Slowly, it is only a few bottles of the elixir that solidifies Peiyuan.
The reason is very simple, a spirit beast is strong, has rough skin and thick flesh, and is easy to digest and absorb the spiritual energy in the elixir. The more you eat, the stronger the motivation will be when you break through, and Lin Slowly, as a monk, can only make the spiritual power in the body slowly thicken step by step, thus causing a qualitative change to break through the foundation.
If it is like a dumb, although it is also a help, it is a convenient channel for Lin to slowly break through to failure for free.
So at this time, Lin slowly drooled from the bottom of his heart with envy for Dumb's good life. But he could only honestly shout that fate was unfair, pinching the hour to eat his own unpleasant smell of earthy elixir.
I looked up at the sky and felt that the time was almost up. Lin slowly and hurriedly got up and threw the chaise longue aside, kicked Dumb into the corner, took out three chairs from the room and placed them around the table, and brought out a few dishes from the food box on the table, although they were not exquisite, but they were full of fragrance, and the dishes made with spiritual plants were brought out.
These are sent by the sect every day, and there is also a lower grade spirit stone sent together every day, which made Lin slowly feel flattered at first, and this treatment is really a bit too good.
But after learning about the current situation of the Sword Exorcist Gate, Lin slowly enjoyed his peace of mind.
It stands to reason that if a sect wants to gain a foothold in the far north, the Jindan monk is the focus, but the foundation building monk as the main combat force is even more indispensable.
It has been three hundred years since the establishment of the Sword Sect, and on average, there will be at least one foundation building monk breakthrough every ten years, and with the passage of time, the number of people has been reduced normally. and for the sake of the sect to fight, etc., only a dozen or so foundation building elders of the Sword Sect are left.
But in the past fifty years, not to mention the monks who have broken through to the foundation building, the tenth-level Qi refining monks of the Sword Sect can be said to be very few, and occasionally there are two who have survived by virtue of the accumulation of years, and there is no hope of success in foundation building.
Now there are two guys who suddenly appeared to surprise the sect, especially since they have also undergone some investigation and have determined that their origin is safe. How can the Sword Sect not take more care.
It's no wonder that when Lin Slow saw the disciples of the other four sects in the Qi refining period before, they all had disciples of the tenth layer of Qi cultivation, and those who were not eight or ninth layers were embarrassed to lean towards the tenth layer. And among the outer disciples of the Sword Exorcism Sect, the ninth layer was already up to the sky.
After learning the news, Lin's intestines of slow regret turned blue.
"If I had known, I would have reported the news of my breakthrough through the tenth layer of qi refining to the sect earlier, one spirit stone a day, how many spirit stones did I get slowly!"
After Lin slowly regretted arranging the dishes neatly, Lin slowly remembered the knock on the wooden door of the small courtyard, his expression moved, Lin slowly opened the door quickly, looked at the man in white who was upright outside the door, and the sixth-layer girl who was dressed as a child, a smile flowed on his face, and he saluted with extremely exaggerated fists, and said loudly.
"Disciple Lin slowly visited Uncle Wei Ping."
Crying and laughing, he pointed at Lin slowly.
"Okay, Senior Sister Lin, don't make fun of being a brother. The time for you to break through the foundation is just around the corner, and there are no outsiders now, so it's better to call me senior brother. ”
Saying that, the tip of Wei Ping's nose moved slightly, and said with a smile.
"Senior Sister Lin's treatment is good, it seems that it is the right time to come for my brother."
As he spoke, he walked around Lin slowly, as if he had come to his own home, and walked into the small courtyard.
Smiling, Lin slowly looked like he should have on his face, and looked at the girl who was still standing outside the door angrily, and Lin slowly spoke.
"Why did you come in directly a few days ago, and today Senior Brother Wei Ping is here, and you have become a little different?"
Giggling, the girl who was half a head shorter than Lin slowly grimaced.
"Senior Sister Lin, who is about to become the next foundation building elder of the Sword Exorcism Gate, doesn't speak, how dare I!"
said so, but the body jumped in, came to Dumb's side and touched Dumb's back, and put the two jade boxes in his hand beside Dumb.
Happily licked the girl's palm, and was very close to the girl who came here every day to bring him the elixir.
Watching Dumb open the two jade boxes in front of him with his big mouth, a rich aura emanated out, making Lin slowly shrink his eyes. looked at Wei Ping, who was sitting at the table.
"Senior Brother Wei Ping, this gift is too valuable, it's just the past, it's really a bit ...... for you to take out two foundation building elixirs today."
Stretching out his hand to interrupt Lin slowly, he motioned for Lin to sit down slowly, and Wei Ping said with a smile.
"Senior Sister Lin, don't worry, my brother has just broken through the middle stage of foundation building, and I still can't come up with such a big deal."
Frowning slightly, Lin asked slowly.
"...... that?"
With a light cough, Wei Ping's face was embarrassed, and after hesitating for a long time, he made up his mind and said.
"Senior Sister Lin, how does the sect treat you?"
"Yes, a few days ago, Wang Zhan found the Sword Sect and asked for the little sister by name, and with the acquiescence of the elders, he was beaten away by Senior Brother Wei Ping's victory, and the little sister already knew about it, and from this point of view, the sect treated me well."
Nodding, Wei Ping chuckled.
"Since that's the case, then it's easy to say, these two foundation-building elixirs were handed over to the elder brother by the sect, although Dumb has already recognized the senior sister as the master, but ......"
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Lin said slowly and coldly.
"Senior brother means that the sect wants to take Dumb away from Xiaomei? This is impossible! ”
Getting along with Dumb to this day, and experiencing several life and death crises together, Lin has long regarded Dumb as a relative, no matter who it is, if he wants to forcibly take Dumb Lin away, he will slowly make the other party pay a heavy price.
Just as Lin Slowly's momentum rose, the dumb on the side also raised his head in an instant, and looked at Wei Ping in front of Lin Slowly, the biggest threat here.
Seeing that Lin was slowly dissatisfied, Wei Ping hurriedly waved his hand and said with a wry smile.
"Where is it, since the junior sister has been recognized by the sect, then she is a member of the sword sect, where is the reason for her own family to rob her family. The sect just wants to establish Dumb as the mountain protection spirit beast of the sect when Dumb breaks through to the foundation, as a capital to show off to the outside world. After all, the sect has never had a foundation building spirit beast, and there are very few other sects, but Dumb still belongs to you, junior sister. ”
If he nodded in his eyes, even if his cultivation was far lower than his own, Lin Slowly's resolute decision to make an instant move really made Wei Ping startled, and he couldn't help but sigh at the difficulty of this task.
The cold light in his eyes dissipated, Lin slowly felt guilty on his face, and after taking out the wine jug from the table to fill a glass for Wei Ping, he said in a deep voice.
"On that day, Senior Brother Wei Ping did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to save the little sister when he got the news, and the little sister remembered it in his heart. But Dumb is not just a talisman spirit beast for the little sister, who wants to do something to Dumb, the little sister will definitely not want to be anxious about anything, I hope the senior brother understands. But if it's a simple identity of a mountain guardian spirit animal, then it's easy to say. ”
Smiling, Wei Ping picked up the wine glass and drank it down.
"Then the senior brother agreed as a junior sister, so that the senior brother can also be on a bad day. However, if it weren't for the shouting of my junior sister for help at that time, and the stimulation of the promise of a hundred spirit stones, I might not have been able to arrive in time. ”
Seeing that Lin was slowly embarrassed, Wei Ping was not joking, his face gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice.
"Then it's time to get down to business, although it's been a few years since I broke through the foundation for my brother, but I'll tell you some of the main points, you have to remember them carefully."
With a straight look, Lin slowly sat up straight, and said secretly in his heart.
"After waiting for a long time, I finally came to the main show."
Arching his hand, Lin slowly said to Wei Ping.
"I want to hear about it."
