Chapter 4: The Beginning of Vengeance
Three days later, early in the morning, Lin Yu stood in the Xianqiong Pavilion where his master was located to receive instruction. Xianqiong Pavilion is not at all as beautiful as its name, like a fairyland.
In the dark hall, the candlelight flickered, adding a mysterious and strange color to the space. What Lin Yu was placed in front of him was a copper furnace more than two meters high, and a strange smell was constantly wafting out, a rancid smell like spoiled meat, which made Lin Yu feel sick when he smelled it.
And in front of Lin Yu, on the wall ten meters away, there was a simple picture scroll with the word "immortal" written on it. In the center of the three futons under the picture scroll, there is Lin Yu's master, Qing Xuanzi.
Qing Xuanzi can be said to be the person who is most familiar with Lin Yu, and he has been under Qing Xuanzi since his parents disappeared. Lin Yu looked at Qing Xuanzi sitting on the futon, looking at his increasingly thin face, and suddenly felt a thick depression in his heart. Ever since Lin Yu's skills were exhausted, Qing Xuanzi seemed to have changed his temperament drastically, becoming taciturn, and often letting out one or two weird screams at Lin Yu.
The candlelight flickered, pulling the shadow of Qing Xuanzi above to the old elder, like an old Taoist who was about to die.
Lin Yu had just entered the Immortal Qiong Pavilion, and he needed to regularly report his cultivation status to his master every month.
As if knowing that Lin Yu would come in, the skinny Qing Xuanzi didn't raise his head, just lowered his head silently, and a gloomy voice suddenly sounded in the hall, like a ghost howling, "Disciple, you're here." How's your practice going?"
Lin Yuqiang held back the disgust in his heart, and put on a bland and friendly expression on his face, he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of this old monster in the Jindan stage, lest he be slapped to death by him, "Back to Master, Lin Yu's strength is still making no progress, I really feel that I am quite useless, it is better to die." โ
Lin Yu said in horror, he was also afraid that the old monster who had enough Jindan stage cultivation would see through his true strength, but Lin Yu had only one fight, he didn't want others to know the fact that he was able to cultivate normally.
Qing Xuanzi raised the head that had been so thin that only human skin and bones remained, and looked at Lin Yu's eyes, the strange light in his eyes pierced the depths of Lin Yu's heart, but he found that Lin Yu was indeed still in the acquired realm, and even regressed a little.
Shaking his head slightly, Qing Xuanzi probably wanted to show his concern for his disciple, and Yin Xuanzi's voice became a little softer, but it still made people uncomfortable to listen to, "It's okay, apprentice, keep working hard, you can return to your previous peak state! โ
After Qing Xuanzi finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yu with a strange look and a smile, and said, "When you reach the foundation building period, I will give you a big gift for the teacher." โ
"Thank you, Master, for the reward! If nothing else, the apprentice will retire first. โ
"Wait, the teacher has just refined a furnace of healing elixir, which is specially given to you to eat. Qing Xuanzi watched Lin Yu turn his head and was about to leave, and hurriedly said, a gray light flashed in his hand, and the lid of the jack furnace on the copper furnace in front of Lin Yu flew up, and a plate of black pills fell on Lin Yu's hand, emitting a strange fragrance, and it seemed to smell of something rotting.
"Thank you, Master, the apprentice will definitely live up to your expectations and be promoted to the foundation building period as soon as possible!" Lin Yuqiang endured the strong discomfort brought to him by the pill in his hand, and wanted to leave this ghost place as soon as possible and give the medicine in his hand to the mad dog. In the past three years, as long as the medicine given to him by Qing Xuanzi has been sent to the hands of the mad dog. However, it was really strange, although Lin Yu was quite disgusted with those pills, Mad Dog was quite fond of those pills refined by Qingxuanzi, and his physique was greatly improved after taking them all year round!
In the end, Qing Xuanzi asked Lin Yu to go to the Hidden Dragon Valley behind the Xuantian Immortal Mountain, where Xuantian Sect was located, to collect elixir, so that Qing Xuanzi could sacrifice and refine the elixir. After listening to the task explained by Qing Xuanzi, Lin Yu hurriedly said goodbye.
The door of the Immortal Qiong Pavilion slammed shut, and the hall was once again dead silent. In the candlelight, Qing Xuanzi raised his thin face and smiled darkly, "My good apprentice is getting more and more fragrant! Huh-"
Hidden Dragon Valley is the Xuantian Sect disciples to pick the treasures of heaven and earth, in the area of a radius of 100 miles, the mountain peaks are steep, the valley is magnificent, the terrain is complex, it is said that it is the habitat of the dragon in ancient times, the aura of heaven and earth is abundant, and the breeding species are rare and exotic.
Lin Yu was about to go to the Hidden Dragon Valley behind Xuantian Immortal Mountain at this time, and of course he had to pass through the cultivation places of several Xuantian Sect disciples on the way.
"Oh my God! Isn't that the scrap wood Lin Yu who had failed miserably at the martial arts tournament a few days ago? I heard that he was seriously injured, how could he be able to move so quickly!" A monk who was practicing magic in the dense forest looked at Lin Yu who was walking leisurely in amazement, and was quite surprised.
"It's just a waste material that doesn't measure his own strength, I heard that he was crippled by Luo Hao's sycophant because he was rude to resist Senior Brother Wang Xifeng. โ
"It's really pitiful! The former supreme genius of the ninth layer of the Innate Realm was beaten to death by a little minion. โ
Seeing Lin Yu coming from a distance, all the disciples stopped what they were doing, lowered their heads and whispered. No one will look down on Lin Yu, a waste who has lost all his skills, and some only pity and pity him.
Looking at the white clouds floating overhead, Lin Yu only felt that he was in a good mood, and he didn't pay attention to the gossip of the little disciples around him. Lin Yu was in a good mood, he was excited that he had reached the first level of the innate realm, and he firmly believed that this was the first step he had taken to regain his glory!
After walking for another half an hour, Lin Yu ignored several groups of young disciples who were pointing at him, and finally came to his destination, Hidden Dragon Valley.
In front of Lin Yu's eyes were two nameless peaks with dense grass, and between the two mountains there was a ten-zhang thick crack that led straight to the sky, and it is said that the dragon in ancient times went straight to the sky from here.
After the crack, there is a valley full of all kinds of strange plants, and the plants that grow there are said to be the descendants of ancient strange trees, and they bear all kinds of miraculous fruits. There is fertile soil under the strange tree, and there are all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures that are recorded in ancient books, this is the treasure land that cultivators yearn for, if it is not entrenched by the world's first Xuantian Sect, I am afraid that many powerful maniacs will risk their lives and take this treasure for themselves.
What Lin Yu was looking for at this time was the relatively rare elixir "Moonlight Grass", this kind of Moonlight Grass was fortunate to be born in dark places, usually under the shadow of boulders, and grew by absorbing the aura of the moonlight at night, which contained a large amount of moon essence, which could purify the aura in the monk's body.
"Why is it so hard to find? In the past, the moonlight grass here grew all over the ground!" Lin Yu muttered dissatisfiedly, in his impression, the moonlight grass grew as much as a weed, but now he has been looking for two hours and he can't see the tip of a single moonlight grass.
Although he was depressed in his heart, Lin Yu still patiently looked for the moonlight grass, he didn't want to go back and face that terrifying Qingxuanzi. Finally, hundreds of meters deeper into the Hidden Dragon Valley, Lin Yu finally found the moonlight grass hidden under a boulder that was emitting a faint fluorescence.
However, just as Lin Yu was about to stretch out his hand to the moonlight grass, an angry shout interrupted his movements!
"Stop, what are you bastards doing?!" A thunderbolt accompanied by a loud shout, the top of Lin Yu's head quickly formed, and a crackle hit Lin Yu's outstretched right hand, scorching his hand to black!
The defenseless Lin Yu was beaten to the point of a pinprick pain in his hand, and he stared angrily in the direction where the voice came from. If you don't make a sound, you will give yourself a thunder curse, and even a clay man will be angry!
Finally, with the sharp sound of two flying swords piercing the air, the person finally flew from the bushes on Lin Yu's side to Lin Yu's body, blocking between Lin Yu and the moonlight grass.
The people who came were two young monks wearing green robes, the green robes were the symbol of the ordinary outer disciples of the Xuantian Sect, Lin Yu had already seen through their strength, one was the first layer of the innate realm, and the other was the second layer of the innate realm.
"Hmphโโ! you are that waste Lin Yu! As Senior Brother Wang Xifeng said, you are just an impolite bastard, don't you know that we are being entrusted by Senior Brother Wang to collect moonlight grass?!" The monk of the second layer of the Innate Realm said viciously, he saw that Lin Yu was just an acquired realm, so he was not afraid.
"I discovered this moonshine plant first. Lin Yu said coldly, his emotionless gaze seemed to be just looking at two livestock.
"Fart, how can you, a garbage of the acquired realm, understand the supernatural powers of our innate realm cultivators, I found this moonlight grass thousands of miles away. โ
Lin Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart when he heard those words, isn't this a cheat? Isn't it dozens of times farther than the distance between Xuantian Sect and Xuantian Sect thousands of miles away, he is even more powerful than those high-level cultivators.
Ignoring them, Lin Yu sneered and walked straight to the place where the Moonlight Grass was.
"Presumptuous, you don't want to live anymore!" the monk of the first layer of the Innate Realm shouted angrily, and pulled out his natal flying sword with a "choking" sound, making a posture of imminent attack!
"Hmphโโ! since you don't want to die, let me finish you two little guys. You are Wang Xifeng's people, I just want to settle old accounts with the surnamed Wang!" Lin Yu snorted coldly, and sacrificed the pure gold streamer that had been with him for many years, before the two of them could react. Stepping on the cloud step, he instantly rushed to the front of the monk of the first layer of the innate realm!
"Whew-"
Before the cultivator of the first layer of the Innate Realm could react, he had already been slashed on the shoulder by Lin Yu, who had been bullied forward, with a sword, splitting a large blood mark!
"This bastard really dares to fight back!Senior Brother Liu, get out of the way, I'll meet him!" The monk of the second layer of the Innate Realm scolded angrily, pinching the Five Elements Fire Spell Seal in his hand, summoning a red flame to envelop Lin Yu!
Lin Yu was not afraid of the monk who was one level higher than himself, and with a swing of chasing the clouds under his feet, he shook the human-sized flame like an ethereal and invisible immortal, and continued to chase towards the little monk of the first layer of the innate realm.
"Hahaโthat's not how the Five Elements Fire Spell is used!Look at my Five Elements Fire Spell!" Lin Yu laughed wantonly, pinching several magic seals in his hand in a row, and a three-zhang long flame giant hand formed on the head of the monk at the first layer of the Innate Realm, and it was slapped down with a bang!
That little monk may have just been promoted to the first level of the Innate Realm, and he hadn't even learned the most basic cloud-chasing footwork, let alone any attack and defense techniques, and he was smashed into ashes by Lin Yu's Five Elements Fire Spell as soon as he saw it!
"Fire Spirit Palm?!You are already in the foundation building period?!" The face of the monk of the second layer of the Innate Realm was full of horror, and he had no intention of fighting again, he retreated step by step, ignoring the moonlight grass.
Lin Yu laughed and said, "No, this is just an ordinary Five Elements Fire Curse! You still die obediently, it's strange that you know Wang Xifeng's villain." โ
