Chapter 184: Trouble is coming
()
The strength of the Danyan Sect is so strong, and it has a very important alchemy method in the cultivation world for people to practice, so it naturally attracts the favor of various scattered cultivators and forces within a radius of thousands of miles.
Of course, sect forces like Danyan Sect, because they were recruiting disciples at the beginning of the mountain, were all scattered cultivators and some small forces facing the outside world.
Therefore, in addition to considering the talent of the new disciples, the more important thing is to test the loyalty of the new disciples to the sect, and only by conducting such tests and confirmations can they ensure that the sect will not be infiltrated by these forces and can exist for a long time.
Therefore, when recruiting new disciples, they will inevitably have a strict test system, so as to exclude some people with ulterior motives, and will not let these people enter the sect at all, so as to prevent the alchemy method of the sect from leaking out.
At the same time, even if there are some special means to pass the assessment of new disciples, the sect will not teach them important methods until they have truly demonstrated their loyalty to the sect, so that they can further select loyal disciples from these disciples for training.
Especially for the management of the top level of the sect, there is an almost absolute guarantee that new elders and deacons will be replaced.
And the reason why they had an agreement in Danyan Sect this time was entirely because when Lu Xiao was young, he was one of the members of Danyan Sect.
Maybe it was because of the grievances when he was young, or because of something, and why he had such an agreement, Lu Xiao still didn't fully tell Lin Chen to know.
The only thing I know is that when Lu Xiao and Lu Jinxuan went to Danyan to collect medicinal materials, someone made a stumbling block, so that these things that should not have happened happened.
But in the final analysis, this matter was because Lu Xiao used up the medicinal materials he used to condition his body when he was treating himself, so that their grandfather and grandson had to accept this agreement, and he participated in it, naturally to repay his kindness.
However, at the end of the chatter between the two, Lu Xiao completely told Lin Chen the content of the agreement.
One of them is naturally aimed at Lin Chen's side, if they lose in this agreement, Lu Xiao will not only need to return the various medicinal materials obtained from the Danyan Sect a few days ago, but Lu Jinxuan's position as an inner disciple will also be stripped off, and he will become an outer disciple from now on.
The second is the conditions after they win, which is also proposed by the other party, but from the perspective of conditions, the weight of the two conditions is still quite equal.
That is, if they can win in this agreement, Lu Xiao naturally does not need to return the medicinal materials taken from Danyan Sect, and Lu Jinxuan can also keep his status as an inner disciple after the victory, and even without accepting anyone's challenge within two years.
However, after the two sides agreed, Lu Xiao opened his mouth again and added a clause, that is, the winning party can put forward an additional condition to the other party, as long as it is not a matter that hurts nature and endangers Danyan Sect, the other party needs to agree, of course, it also needs to be within the scope of the ability of both parties.
And when he heard this condition, Lin Chen's heart couldn't help but beat a few times, because this condition was obviously very beneficial to him, as long as they could win in this agreement, then he could use this condition to ask Danyanzong to save Lin Zi'er.
In this way, he does not have to use other cumbersome and complicated methods and means to obtain Danyanzong's move, and he can justifiably ask the other party.
So after learning this, Lin Chen couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, stood up and bowed deeply to Lu Xiao.
And Lu Xiao just smiled.
.......
Three days later, Lin Chen drove a simple carriage on an avenue, and on top of the carriage, Lin Zi'er, who had been in a coma, lay flat on it, while Lu Jinxuan and Lu Xiao sat on its sides.
Behind the carriage, there were two black donkeys with long ears standing up, and on the back of the black donkey were the medicinal materials that Lu Xiao had taken back from the Danyan Sect a few days ago.
The three of them had already left Lujia Village for a day, because they were worried, so Lu Xiao also followed, but with their current footsteps, they only needed to walk for less than an hour, and they could rush to the place where Danyan Sect was.
"Lin Chen, is this little girl really your own sister? I don't look like it at all", Lu Jinxuan looked at the unconscious Lin Zi'er, touched his face again, and finally looked at Lin Chen, and shouted very suspiciously.
Lin Chen didn't explain, but shook his head helplessly, because along the way, Lu Jinxuan had asked him this question no less than twenty times, and it was obviously out of her jealousy.
However, her jealousy is completely harmless, it is just in the heart of a woman's love for beauty, so Lin Chen ignored her, and she would have a series of questions to ask.
Seeing that the relationship between the two was obviously much better, even Lu Xiao, who was checking Lin Zi'er's situation on the side, shook his head slightly, but then smiled slightly.
After four consecutive days of cooperation training, Lin Chen and Lu Jinxuan's cooperation has been very tacit, even if Lu Xiao let Lu Hong and the others strengthen their interference with the two in the next two days, it has not affected Lu Jinxuan's refining of the Ice Essence Pill, and even when Lin Chen has been forced out of more strength, they have not been able to get close to Lu Jinxuan within three meters at all.
You must know that when the alchemist is doing alchemy, the most taboo thing is to be disturbed by the movement of the outside world, so that he loses the proportion and control of refining, in this case, the slightest mistake of the alchemist will make the medicinal materials he refines scrapped.
Especially for low-level alchemists, their cultivation is not high, and their mental power and concentration are also relatively easy to be disturbed, which makes them more likely to make mistakes, causing the pill to be scrapped.
Under this kind of training, Lu Jinxuan had greatly reduced the degree to which he was disturbed by the outside world, which was undoubtedly a very huge improvement for a low-level alchemist like them.
After the cooperation of the two reached this point, Lu Xiao already knew that even if he strengthened his training in the next step, facing Lin Chen, who still had spare strength, they would not have much effect, so he set off towards Danyanzong before the ten-day period.
An hour later, the carriage driven by Lin Chen came to the foot of a mountain hundreds of meters high.
And here, Lin Chen also saw a three-meter-wide step leading to the high mountain that appeared at the foot of the mountain, and the disciple of the Danyan Sect who was standing in front of the step and had the same costume as Lu Jinxuan.
On the top of the mountain, within the reach of Lin Chen's eyes, you can see that there is a very high archway standing, and you can vaguely see three fiery red characters on it.
"Senior Sister Lu", the ten disciples of the Danyan Sect who were standing in front of the steps hurriedly stepped forward and saluted and shouted after seeing Lu Jinxuan on the carriage.
"Well, you can go on, you can leave us alone", Lu Jinxuan waved casually, and then looked at Lin Chen, with obvious smugness on his face.
It seems to be saying: "See, this is my status in Danyanzong."
Lin Chen directly chose to ignore this, and didn't look at her at all, but looked at a figure that disappeared on the steps with his eyes, and couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
"Lin Xiaoyou, this is Danyan Sect, our carriage can't get up", Lu Xiao said to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen also nodded, then got off the carriage, walked to an open place, and then took out the back basket woven from bamboo from the storage bag.
After putting it on the ground, he took out a soft and comfortable animal skin and put it away, then picked Lin Zi'er off the carriage, carefully put it into the back basket, and simply fixed it to prevent Lin Zi'er from falling off the bamboo chair, and finally carried the back basket in Lu Jinxuan's surprised expression.
"Lin Chen, how did you come up with this solution", Lu Jinxuan asked Lin Chen in surprise.
Lin Chen didn't hide anything, and said lightly: "This is what the aunts in Lujia Village specially did for me, for now"
Lu Jinxuan said a little incredulously as if he was meeting Lin Chen for the first time: "I didn't expect you to love your sister so much, this is a bit unexpected to me."
Lin Chen didn't care about Lu Jinxuan's obvious pretending, but looked at the dozens of people who appeared on the steps, and said with a smile on his face: "Miss Jinxuan, let's deal with your troubles first, I'm not suitable for a move now, so let Miss Jinxuan come to you."
After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Lu Jinxuan, whose face was getting more and more gloomy, and silently walked to Lu Xiao's side.
