There is only half a month before the selection meeting, and all the major forces are preparing, some spend a lot of money to hire alchemists, refine Baodan or weapons, and some try to get mysteries or spiritual skills, and even the imperial dynasty no longer pursues Li Yunchen's whereabouts and concentrates on preparation, which saves Li Yunchen a lot of trouble.

Only the Lin family, which has not made any movement, is still calm before the selection meeting.

"The ancient family is just different. After sighing outside the Lin Mansion, Li Yunchen walked in, with the white jade given by Lin Xue'er, naturally no one stopped him.

didn't take a few steps, a melodious piano sound came out of the flowers, and the hinge plucked the strings three or two times.

Following the sound of the piano and walking through a few flowers, Li Yunchen saw a woman in white holding a pipa in her hand, sitting on a stone chair, and her jade hand kept sliding on the strings.

The woman's white clothes are plain yarn, ethereal to the extreme, the skin is fair and pink, the bomb is broken, and the two strands of filaments are falling, like a breeze blowing into people's hearts. Li Yunchen recognized at a glance that this person was Lin Xue'er, but he didn't speak, just listened quietly on the side, not wanting to break this natural sound.

The sound of the piano is tinkling, like a spring flowing, although the music is not gorgeous, but it is comfortable and pleasant, making people forget three thousand troubles.

"Dang!"

As the last music sounded, the sound of the piano stopped, but there was a sense of lingering sound.

"You're here. Lin Xue'er had already noticed Li Yunchen, put down the pipa in her arms, and slowly got up.

"Miss Xue'er's piano skills are really wonderful, they can be called a masterpiece!" Li Yunchen walked over and praised again and again.

Lin Xue'er pursed her lips and smiled, and at this time, a girl in red also ran over.

"You're really fast, and the letter came as soon as it was delivered. Look at you, my eyes straightened when I saw Sister Xue'er!" Ke'er argued with Li Yunchen as soon as she came over.

"Isn't it like I miss my mother, I don't see you for a day. ”

"You!" Ke'er clenched her little fists, and Li Yunchen teased her in front of Xue'er, making her very shy.

Lin Xue'er was amused by Ke'er's appearance, picked up her pigtails, and said, "Li Gongzi had eyebrows at me just now, Sister Ke'er will have to discipline him well in the future." ”

Ke'er was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then her face was full of grievances: "Sister Xue'er, how can you believe those rumors, there is nothing between me and him, the ghost wants to marry him!"

"It's all your fault!" the more Ke'er thought about it, the more angry she became, pointing at Li Yunchen and accusing.

"Why do you blame me again? It was you who released it in order to get rid of Dongfang Yuan, and I was kind enough to help you get out of trouble, but now it's biting Lu Dongbin!" Li Yunchen was completely speechless.

"It's your fault! it's your fault!" Kerr snorted angrily.

"I really shouldn't have helped you in the first place, I should have let you marry that Dongfang Yuan, and cure your rude and willful temper. Li Yunchen said.

"Alright, you two don't flirt. Xue'er knocked on Ke'er's head, then took out a volume of cultivation methods and handed it to Li Yunchen. "Last time, I promised you that if you came to the Lin Mansion, I would give you a cultivation technique of the Immortal Road Realm, although it is not a treasure, it is also rare in the outside world. ”

Li Yunchen took the scroll, although he had already obtained the I Ching and no longer needed other exercises, he still accepted it, after all, this was the other party's intention, if he refused, it would inevitably hurt people's hearts.

"Miss Xue'er didn't call me here just for this, right?" asked Li Yunchen suspiciously.

"Can't I invite you to come to the Lin Mansion to sit down?" Lin Xue'er smiled, and after a while, her expression changed again, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and there was a trace of sadness in her clear face. "Actually, calling you here is indeed asking for something. ”

"It's okay for Miss Xue'er to say anything, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help. ”

Lin Xue'er tapped her chin and sighed: "My grandfather, the founder of the Lin family, was hit by a strange fire poison many years ago, and then searched for all kinds of elixirs and invited many alchemists, but there was no way to resolve it. Now that the fire poison is attacking his heart, his condition is getting worse day by day, so that his already small longevity has been reduced again, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he will turn into a Taoist. ”

"Fire poison?" Li Yunchen's heart froze, and he hurriedly asked, "I wonder if Old Ancestor suffers the pain of forging his body three times a day, and his body also shows signs of decay?"

"How do you know?" Lin Xue'er was surprised: "At first, it was indeed three times a day, but then the number of times became more and more, until finally it was corrupted by fire poison all the time. ”

Sure enough, after Li Yunchen confirmed it, he smiled bitterly: "It's not a secret, I also have fire poison in my body, but I just cultivated into a golden body by coincidence and temporarily suppressed it." I've also been looking for a solution, but I still don't have a clue, so I'm afraid I'm powerless of the ancestor's poison. ”

"Li Gongzi was also poisoned by fire?" Lin Xue'er's expression was solemn, and she pondered for a while before she spoke again: "Then you haven't thought about using the water of Taiyin to dissolve it?" That day in Ouyang Mansion, when Li Yunchen and Ouyang Xun were trying to refine gold, they had sacrificed a purple gold gourd to release the fire of the sun, and Lin Xue'er also felt a cold aura coming out at that time, so she had already guessed it.

Li Yunchen shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it, it's just that this water of Taiyin and the fire of the sun are equally terrifying, they are both born in the vast world of Buddhism, and they are the most yin things in the world, so I don't dare to use them easily." If you are not careful, not to mention that the fire poison cannot be cured, and it is difficult to save your life. ”

"I understand this, but even if I don't try, my grandfather won't have long to live, and that's the only hope. If it can be successful, of course, it is the best, grandpa can live for another hundred years, and Li Gongzi can also expel his own fire poison according to this method. If he fails, it's nothing, just send him to Bliss in advance, and I don't want to watch him suffer all day. ”

Lin Xue'er said, her eyes were soaked, and crystal tears slid down her cheeks. When she was a child, her grandfather who loved her the most was her grandfather, who spent a happy childhood with her, and now her grandfather fell ill in bed, and she felt a sour feeling when she thought of it.

"Look at you, you made Sister Xue'er cry, you quickly agree, even if you fail, no one will blame you. Kerr whispered from the side.

Li Yunchen hesitated and had difficulty making a choice, but after struggling, he agreed. To tell the truth, he has no bottom in his heart, the extremes of things must be opposed, the fire of the sun is extremely terrifying, and the water of Taiyin must be the same, it is too dangerous to use this water to drive away poison.

Lin Xue'er wiped the corners of her eyes and thanked her, but the sadness on her face was still there, which made people feel distressed.

"Xue'er, why are you still playing the piano leisurely here, have you thought of a way for the fire poison of the ancestor?" On the other side of the Lin Mansion, an old man walked over, his expression was stiff, and his collarbone could be clearly seen.

Ke'er told Li Yunchen that this person was Lin Xue'er's seventh uncle, the seventh in the Lin family, and most people called him Lin Qi.

"Aren't I trying to figure it out. Lin Xue'er's tone was a little indifferent, and then she pointed at Li Yunchen and said, "He is the person I invited, and I will let him try it later." ”

"Just this kid?" Lin Qi looked at Li Yunchen, his face full of contempt, "Xue'er, don't joke with the life of the ancestor, even the power of alchemy is helpless, how can this kid drive away the fire poison." ”

Li Yunchen's face sank on the spot, and the other party didn't take himself seriously at all, which made him unhappy for a while. Although the Lin family has a prominent position in the ancient city, has a long heritage, and has a great family, it is not so arrogant, which makes people annoyed.

"Uncle Seven, if you are not satisfied with my method, then you can figure it out yourself. Lin Xue'er said coldly, her face was not very good-looking.

Being said like this, Lin Qi's face twitched, and he was speechless, and then he probed Li Yunchen with his divine sense, wanting to see what was going on, but his face changed suddenly. "Boy, how can you have the breath of absurdity in your body!"

Li Yunchen's heart shrank, the desolate code had been integrated into the demon beast divine sense, hidden in the depths, it was impossible for ordinary people to find out, and the other party actually saw it at a glance, which was beyond his expectations.

Could it be that the Lin family has a special sense of this mystery? That's why Lin Xue'er will find her whereabouts? Li Yunchen secretly guessed in his heart.

"Uncle Seven, I gave it to him. Lin Xueer did not hide it.

"Nonsense!" Lin Qi shook his long sleeves and scolded: "The absurd code is the ancestral mystery of my Lin family, and it will never be passed on, you give it to an outsider so hastily, have you considered the consequences!"

Lin Xue'er said: "If you keep a useless mystery, it's better to give it away, if you can understand it, and then return it to the Lin family, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds." ”

Lin Qi sneered, and his contempt was even stronger, "Enlightenment? Since the ancestor obtained this mystery, no one in the Lin family has been able to comprehend it for thousands of years, don't tell me, this kind of goods will be better than any generation of our Lin family, and it can create miracles." ”

This kind of ridicule made even Ke'er angry when she heard it, let alone Li Yunchen. From the moment he appeared, this Lin Qi had always been in a lofty posture, not taking them in his eyes.

And from the words just now, Li Yunchen also learned that the Wasteland was indeed not created by the ancestor of the Lin family, but was only obtained by chance, which made him even more curious about the origin of the Wasteland.

"If I hadn't found out today, it might have been a disaster. Boy, you can hand over the absurdity now, and I won't pursue this matter. ”

"Seventh Uncle, I gave the Desert Dian to Li Gongzi, why do you want to go back!" Lin Xue'er stepped forward to stop him.

"Xue'er, don't interfere, the ancestor will give you the mystery, but you are so nonsense, it seems that the absurd code will not be handed over to you for safekeeping in the future. Lin Qiyi pushed Lin Xue'er away with one hand and stepped forward to force it.

"Uh...... I want to pay it back, but I can't. Li Yunchen pretended to be very sorry and shook his head.

"What are you talking about!" Lin Qi roared angrily.

Looking at Lin Qi's angry expression, Li Yunchen secretly said in his heart, and then put on an innocent appearance, "There was an accident a while ago, and the absurd code has been integrated into my body and turned into a dao mark, and I can't take it out, so I can only feel it in my heart." ”

After hearing this, Lin Qi was furious, and the breath in his body surged, as if he had the intention of doing something.

"But because of this, the absurd book was also accidentally understood by me. Li Yunchen continued.

At this moment, not only Lin Qi, but even Lin Xue'er was shocked, and she felt incredible.

"Have you comprehended the absurd?" Lin Xue'er couldn't believe it, she just had the mentality of giving it a try, and didn't ask for much hope.

"I think this is just your prevarication. Lin Qi teased.

"If you don't believe me, I'll give you a copy of the deciphered mystery. Li Yunchen expected Lin Qi's reaction, so Lin Xue'er called the paper and ink, and at the same time sacrificed the demon beast divine sense, comprehended the desolate code after the cracking, and then wrote it down little by little.

Turning over one by one, strange and ancient words appeared on the paper, and there were not many absurd texts, and in a short time the manuscript was completed.

Lin Xue'er took it, roughly flipped through it, and nodded, the mysteries on it can indeed be cultivated, and there are similarities with the ancient texts before they are cracked, not like a fraud. As for Lin Qi, he had a straight face, and he was like two people before, he snatched the manuscript from Lin Xue'er's hand and read it too.

"We haven't seen the desolate code after it has been cracked, who knows if it's true, and if it is changed, we won't be able to find out. Lin Qi still didn't believe it, he felt that only Li Yunchen handed over the original of the absurd code could be convincing.

"Enough is enough for Uncle Seven! I believe in Li Gongzi, you don't have to ask about this matter anymore. Lin Xue'er has a very good temper, gentle and graceful, but she can't help but be angry at this time.

"This is a big deal, as an elder of the Lin family, how can I not ask, saying that the absurd code has been integrated into my body, this is the first time I have heard of such a strange thing, it is better to let the old man see it himself!" Lin Qi's eyes became ruthless, and his vigorous and powerful hands grabbed Li Yunchen.

"Bang!"

Lin Xue'er just wanted to step forward to stop it, when a fierce energy shot out, blocking Lin Qi's palm, and he was as powerful as he also took a few steps back.

"Old Seven, you are still embarrassed by a junior with such an identity, wouldn't it damage the reputation of our Lin family if you spread it. Not far away, another old man flew in, stepping on the air as if he were walking on the ground.

"Third uncle!" Lin Xue'er looked happy, very different from her reaction when she saw Lin Qi.

From Lin Xue'er's name Li Yunchen, I can roughly guess the identity of this person, and later learned that this old man's name is Lin Yu, the third in the Lin family, and he is also an alchemist, almost on the verge of becoming a powerful existence, alchemy in the ancient city is almost unmatched, and the Xue Xinsan that Lin Xue'er once took out was refined by him.

"Third brother, I am also forced to do so, and the absurdity cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. Lin Qi sneered, as if he was very jealous of Lin Yu.

"I have my own measure in this matter, since this little friend was invited by Xue'er, then he is a distinguished guest, if you are disrespectful, don't blame me for turning my face. Lin Yu's expression was indifferent.

Lin Qi squeezed out a smile on his face, but he snorted in his heart, and glanced at Li Yunchen with cold eyes.

"You were invited by Xue'er to expel the fire poison for the ancestor. Lin Yu looked at Li Yunchen and showed a kind smile, without the slightest arrogance, and was approachable. "Those who can be chosen by Miss Cher must have something special. The ancestor is in critical condition and can't be delayed any longer, so you can come with me. ”

After speaking, Lin Yu turned around and left, and Li Yunchen followed.

"Boy, I don't know what tricks you used, but you were able to get so much attention from Miss Xue'er and hand over all the desolation to you, but I advise you not to have other thoughts, our Lin family is not something that people like you can climb!" Just as Li Yunchen left, Lin Qi's expression was indifferent, and he secretly passed over.
