25. Crookedly hit
Why did he come out in the middle of the night to meet a hunchbacked man and call him an adult? Why did they insist on winning the first place among the outer disciples? What was the conspiracy?
"It is said that there is a little guy in the fourth layer of the Qi cultivation period recently from the outer gate, are you sure to beat him?" The hunchbacked man suddenly changed the topic and talked about Lin Huilai.
"This person was just lucky enough to swallow the heaven and earth elixir before he was promoted to the fourth layer of the qi cultivation period. In terms of combat experience and the degree of control of spiritual power, it is definitely not comparable to that of his subordinates. This person, don't worry!" Mu Rongfeng's words were full of contempt for Lin Hui.
"Don't be careless and cause the boat to capsize in the gutter!" the hunchbacked man glanced at Mu Rongfeng and said lightly in a warning tone.
"Yes!" the subordinate understood. Mu Rongfeng heard that the person in front of him seemed to be slightly dissatisfied with him, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and immediately woke up, nodded respectfully.
Suddenlyβ
"Who?" the hunchbacked man twisted his eyebrows, swallowed back what he was about to say to Mu Rongfeng, suddenly glanced in a direction, and whispered.
And in that direction, suddenly a figure suddenly turned around and left quickly, surprisingly fast. He fled without a fight. Obviously, this person knew that he was not the opponent of the hunchbacked man and Mu Rongfeng, and after being discovered, he turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
When the hunchbacked man and Mu Rongfeng saw this, they couldn't help but say something, and immediately chased after them. Their conversation is confidential. There is no room for the slightest wind when walking. Once leaked, it will affect the implementation of the entire plan. Neither of them can afford it.
"Hugh escape!" the hunchbacked man snorted coldly, his hands quickly pinched, and a spell took shape in an instant, and suddenly shot out towards the fleeing person in front of him. Immediately after, a spell seemed to be uneasy, and he slapped the storage bag on his waist again, and a row of slender needles with as many as twelve appeared in his hand. Each needle shone with a turquoise glow, and a thick rancid smell emanated from these needles. At a glance, it is clear that these twelve needles are evil things.
The hunchbacked man stared coldly at the person who escaped in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, twelve needles attacked several acupuncture points on the back of the person in front of him at a surprising speed.
Not a sound came out.
But in the night sky, there are twelve rays of turquoise light at the same time, and if you are not careful, you will definitely think that it is an illusion. Because, that speed is so fast, so fast that you can't react.
"Poof!"
The person in front of him did not stop at the slightest step when the spell was struck on his body. But after the twelve needles pierced into the body, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and the body shook and almost collapsed.
"Don't chase it!" said the hunchbacked man, who suddenly stopped. "Otherwise, it will be terrible to be discovered by the people of the Dianxuan Sect. β
Mu Rongfeng also stopped. At this time, they were already only three or four hundred zhang away from the place where the outer disciples of the Dianxuan Sect lived. If you continue to chase it, it will be very easy to be discovered.
"Can you see who this person is?" the hunchbacked man said coldly as he stared at the back of the person in front of him who had already entered the place where the outer disciples of the Dian Xuan Sect lived.
Mu Rongfeng pondered for a while and said, "Look at the back, it should be Lin Hui who has just advanced to the fourth layer of the Qi cultivation period. β
"The fourth layer of the Qi training period? The person just now, but the fifth layer of the Qi training period. The hunchbacked man's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, and he frowned.
"Fifth layer of Qi cultivation period?" Mu Rongfeng didn't pay attention just now, but he was confident in the words of the hunchbacked man, after all, this was a master of the foundation building period, and he could never be mistaken. And judging from the back of the person who fled just now, Mu Rongfeng was ninety percent sure that it was Lin Hui. But Lin Hui, obviously he had just advanced to the fourth layer of the Qi training period, and it was more than two months before he soared directly from the first layer of the Qi training period to the fourth layer of the Qi training period, how could he advance so quickly?
Is he still a human being, and how can he cultivate so fast?
Moreover, his qualifications were extremely bad! If he hadn't swallowed the Heaven and Earth Elixir, he would definitely not have been able to cultivate to the fourth level of the Qi cultivation period. Could it be that there were still some remnants of the heaven and earth elixir he had swallowed, which helped him barely raise his cultivation to the fifth layer of the Qi cultivation period?
Mu Rongfeng's face changed instantly. The qualifications of his four spirit roots are more than ten times better than Lin Hui's five spirit roots, how can he not have such good luck as him, and he can get away with the heaven and earth elixir to swallow. Thinking of this, Mu Rongfeng's heart became more and more unbalanced.
"This person shouldn't be swallowing the elixir of heaven and earth, but how can the cultivation speed be so fast?" After all, the hunchbacked person is a master of the foundation building period, and his knowledge is much better than that of the monks in the qi cultivation stage, so he naturally thinks more thoroughly.
"Isn't it swallowing the Heaven and Earth Elixir, then how could his Five Spirit Root qualifications be cultivated from the first layer of the Qi Cultivation Period to the fifth layer of the Qi Cultivation Period in just three months?" Mu Rongfeng asked puzzled. In his heart, he was extremely suspicious of what the hunchbacked man had just said. If it weren't for the effect of the Heaven and Earth Elixir, he really couldn't imagine what else Lin Hui could rely on to improve his cultivation? He was the qualification of the Five Spirit Roots! The Five Spirit Roots were extremely rotten immortal cultivation qualifications, and simple cultivation, even if he was given ten years, or even twenty or Chinese New Year's Eve years, it would be impossible to cultivate from the first layer of the Qi Cultivation Period to the fifth layer of the Qi Training Period.
"Since you have said it, he has advanced from the first level of the Qi cultivation period to the fifth layer of the Qi training period in a short period of time. What kind of heaven and earth elixir could help him improve his cultivation so gently? If the heaven and earth elixir he swallowed had such abundant aura, it could make a monk in the first layer of the Qi cultivation period rush to the fifth layer of the Qi training period, then after he swallowed it, with his cultivation at the first level of the Qi cultivation stage, he would have already exploded and died due to that violent aura. He can't bear that abundant aura!" The hunchbacked man calmly analyzed, and finally concluded that Lin Hui would not be able to withstand the abundant aura when he was on the first level of the Qi cultivation period, and he would definitely explode and die because of it.
Therefore, the hunchbacked man guessed, and even secretly determined, that Lin Hui was not able to improve his cultivation by swallowing the elixir of heaven and earth. That being the case, how did he improve his cultivation?
The hunchbacked man could not have guessed. He would never have imagined that the abnormal changes caused by Lin Hui's cultivation of the Five Spirit Quenching Body Nine Transformation Technique had caused Lin Hui's cultivation speed to increase sharply, and the refining of the countless Great Tonic Pills had enabled Lin Hui's cultivation to soar to the fifth level of the Qi Cultivation Period in a short period of time.
Mu Rongfeng and the hunchbacked man fell into shock and contemplation. They were all shocked and puzzled by Lin Hui's drastic improvement in cultivation.
But suddenly, Mu Rongfeng exclaimed, "He heard the conversation we just had, wouldn't it ruin our plan?"
The hunchbacked man waved his hand and said, "It's okay! This person has been hit by the twelve needles of my netherworld, and he will definitely die within a stick of incense." I'm afraid, as soon as he returned to his place where he lived, he was already unconscious, and how could he have had time to inform others of our conversation?" this man had absolute confidence in the twelve needles he had cast before.
Hearing this, Mu Rongfeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now, I have got rid of this man for you. The outer door is bigger, with your cultivation, there is no opponent. Be sure to win the first place. The hunchbacked man said in a deep voice.
"Lord Luo is waiting for the good news of his subordinates. Mu Rongfeng bowed his head confidently and said.
......
"Poof!"
Lin Hui spurted out a mouthful of blood again, his face turned even paler, and he staggered towards the house where he lived. With each step, the blood flowed out of his mouth a little more. And he was hit by the Nether Twelve Needles in his back, and this set of needles contained extremely violent poison, completely eroding his back into jet black. If it weren't for his cultivation of the Five Spirits Quenching Body and Nine Transformations, and the completion of skin and flesh transformations, his degree of control over his body was far beyond that of ordinary monks, and I am afraid that his entire body would have become jet black.
Even so, Lin Hui felt extremely uncomfortable. It seems that the whole back no longer belongs to him.
Pan Yu, who was meditating next to the house, saw Lin Hui in this situation, his face suddenly changed greatly, his eyes were full of horror, he hurriedly got up and rushed over to support Lin Hui, and asked anxiously: "Senior brother, what happened? Who injured you like this?"
Lin Hui didn't answer Pan Yu's words, but commanded weakly: "Help me into the house." After that, he seemed to have lost all his strength all at once, and his whole body collapsed directly on Pan Yu's body.
Pan Yu's whole person was in chaos, and tears were desperately swirling in his eyes due to panic and nervousness, blurring his vision, making him as helpless and hesitant as a child at this time.
Following Lin Hui's instructions, Pan Yu helped him into the house.
"Help me to the bed and sit down cross-legged...... Lin Hui's voice became weaker and weaker, and his whole face exuded a dead and gray aura, like the aura of death that appears in a person who has been ill for a long time.
After sitting cross-legged on the bed, Lin Hui was unable to straighten up, his entire upper body was paralyzed, his eyes did not have any brilliance, and he said with difficulty: "Go out! No one is allowed to enter the house without my orders." β
"Senior brother......" Pan Yu choked up. Since entering the Dianxuan Sect, he had never grieved so much because of anyone. Lin Hui was the first! He was grateful to Lin Hui, accepted Lin Hui in his heart, and treated him as a relative. Seeing Lin Hui seriously injured, he was more sad than anyone else, and even preferred to be injured by himself.
"Get out of here. I'm going to cast a spell to expel poison. Lin Hui raised his voice abruptly, but the consequence was that he spit out a mouthful of blood again, and his face was even worse.
Pan Yu was even more flustered, like a headless fly, not knowing what to do. But seeing Lin Hui like this, he didn't dare to stay in the house to disturb Lin Hui anymore, so he immediately responded and exited the house. The moment he closed the door with his backhand, he looked at Lin Hui sadly again. The tears that had been rolling in his eyes suddenly turned into two lines of tears and flowed out.
Sitting outside the house, Pan Yu no longer had the heart to cultivate, holding his knees with both hands, burying his head between his hands, and sobbing heavily.
And Lin Hui, after Pan Yu went out, tried his last bit of strength and wrote a few crooked and twisted characters on the bed with blood, but it was extremely terrifying at a glance.
"Mu Rongfeng, spy!
The reason why he didn't tell Pan Yu immediately was that he didn't want Pan Yu to be involved. Lin Hui could feel that the force behind Mu Rongfeng must be very strong. Perhaps, only by exhausting the strength of the entire Dianxuan Sect can there be a possibility of confrontation. And leaving this sentence is just in case, he is really unfortunate to die, and the upper echelons of the Dianxuan Sect can also be wary of Mu Rongfeng through these words, and even directly capture Mu Rongfeng for investigation.
Subsequently, Lin Hui beat his spirits and struggled to transport the five spirits and nine changes of the body, starting from the skin transformation method to the meridian change method. At this time, all he could think of was the Five Spirits Quenching Body Nine Transformation Technique. He pinned all his hopes on this formula. At the same time, he also separated a stream of divine consciousness, controlling the spiritual power in his body and slowly forcing towards the position of the twelve ghost needles on his back.
For the first time, when Lin Hui was running the Five Spirits Quenching Body Nine Transformation Technique in his body, he also used the power generated by another completely different technique, that is, the spiritual power generated by cultivating the Immortal Technique. Two different forces rushed through his body, and gradually produced a kind of abnormal change that even Lin Hui couldn't imagine.
This crooked approach brought him great benefits in the future. It is no exaggeration to say that his future achievements stem from this change.
really responded to that sentence, "Where misfortune and blessing depend, blessing and misfortune lurk." β
......
Five days later.
After several days of competition, the final eight places were finally decided. With the addition of Lin Hui and Mu Rongfeng, it means that the top ten have come out.
Then, the grand finale can begin. Finally, the ten strongest disciples of the outer sect will be ranked.
At this time, on the flat land on the west side of Lingwu Mountain, there was already a sea of people, and the nine outer disciples were surrounded by everyone in the middle, except for Mu Rongfeng's calm expression, the other eight people all showed excitement and eager to try.
Since the top ten have not yet been decided, even some of the inner disciples have come to watch the finals of the outer gate.
After all, compared to the big competition of the inner door, the outer door only has some highlights in the finals. In the previous competition, the inner disciples did not have the slightest interest at all.
"What the hell is Lin Hui's stinky boy doing, why hasn't he come yet?" Zhang Wanshan looked at the direction down the mountain, and his heart became more and more anxious.
"Deacon Zhang, when will we be able to let a few disciples draw lots to start the finals?" said the elder surnamed Guan with an angry face and a low voice of dissatisfaction.
Zhang Wanshan secretly felt bitter in his heart, but he had to smile and say, "Right away, start right away!" and ask Elder Guan to wait a little longer. Immediately, Zhang Wanshan called an outer disciple again and urged him to go and ask Lin Hui to hurry up and participate in the competition. Zhang Wanshan was very dissatisfied with the first disciple who was ordered to call Lin Hui, and began to think about how to punish the outer disciple after the end of this outer door competition.
"An outer disciple of the fourth layer of the Qi cultivation period is just that, but so many people have to wait for him. His shelf is quite large. The other elder sneered lukewarmly.
Zhang Wanshan and Deacon Qiao didn't dare to speak, but in their hearts, they had already cursed Lin Hui hundreds of times.
"Where's Lin Hui, why haven't you come yet?"
Suddenly, among the crowding disciples, a voice suddenly shouted.
What about Lin Hui? All the disciples couldn't help but ask themselves in their hearts.
"Ha! I'm afraid he's worried about losing to Senior Brother Mu, so he doesn't dare to come to the competition!" A voice with a hint of sneer came into everyone's ears.
The person who spoke was the Yan Song who had made trouble in front of Lin Hui's house.
"Even if he loses to Senior Brother Mu, with his cultivation, as long as he participates in the competition, he can successfully become an inner disciple. There's no reason why you can't come!" Another disciple said in confusion.
If he didn't participate in the competition, he would lose the opportunity to become an inner disciple, and he would have to wait until the big competition three years later. β
"However, Lin Hui is also a fourth-level cultivator in the Qi cultivation period, so it is not that he has no chance of defeating Senior Brother Mu. β
Unexpectedly, Lin Hui was such a timid and cowardly person. He didn't even dare to participate in the sect competition, is he still a man?"
If Lin Hui was here, when he heard this, he would definitely slap this person a few times, and be furious: "Whether the uncle is a man or not, it's not you who has the final say! β
"Seeing that he was so beautiful some time ago, I'm afraid that after this time, he will be ruined. β
"Hey, hey, he's a waste of our outer door, so what reputation does he have?"
You're the waste! Your whole family is it! If Lin Hui is here, with his temperament, he will definitely scold like this.
For the various discussions of the people around him, Mu Rongfeng didn't seem to hear it at all, and stood there calmly, his face still calm. But in his heart, he was sneering, "Lin Hui, you can't see it anymore." β
