Chapter Eighty-Six: Back to the Mountain
In early autumn, when the mountains were full of green pears and fragrant pears, Xiong Lin took his scorpion flying boat back to Jiuli Mountain. It has been nearly half a year since the Imperial Corpse Gate raided the Nine Pear Sect, and Xiong Lin has successfully completed his task of three years in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and now he has returned to the mountain.
Half a year ago, it can be said that there was no winner in the first battle, and the Yuhua Peak of the Jiuli Sect was almost destroyed, and the disciples were even more killed and injured. After all, when the Imperial Corpse Gate attacked, it had a great advantage, and according to the news that Fu Luoying and him sent a letter to him later, there were as many as a dozen Inner Gate Foundation Building Monks who died in that battle, not to mention the outer Gate Qi Cultivators.
It is said that the sect is considering whether to conduct an introductory trial in advance to replenish the outer disciples who have suffered heavy losses.
And the Imperial Corpse Gate also suffered heavy losses, not to mention the destruction of the body, only the corpse old demon who escaped with the natal magic weapon remained. It was those Jindan, Foundation Building, and Qi Cultivation cultivators brought by the Corpse Old Demon, because Yuli activated the Nine Yuhua Pear Tree Great Array, and they were all trapped in Yuhua Peak. After the corpse old demon is defeated and retreats, they will naturally not have any good results.
Similarly, Jun Ruyu and those disciples of the Junzi Alliance who were controlled were also cleaned up. Regardless of whether they were controlled or not, under the order of the Jade Pear Ancestor, they were all cleaned up.
The corpse old demon retreated on his side, and Yin Wusheng and Bai Chang on the Tieshan Pass side naturally stopped, and Yin Wusheng retreated a hundred miles from the border of the Yin Corpse Dynasty.
In the past six months, both the Royal Corpse Sect and the Nine Pear Sect have been silently licking the wounds of the calves and recovering their vitality. Predictably, though, this is just the calm before the storm. Sooner or later, the two families will fight each other, and then I'm afraid it will be a real battle to destroy the door, either you die or I die!
Xiong Lin stood on the scorpion flying boat, thinking about the development of the situation in the past six months, and gradually grasped some contexts. Seeing the foot of Yuhua Peak, Xiong Lin got off the flying boat and walked towards the mountain.
After passing through the city protection array, Xiong Lin returned to Jiuli City again, and the oncoming excitement made him stunned. According to the correspondence with Fu Luoying in the past six months, because of the first war, Jiuli City has been really depressed for a long time, and just a month ago, Fu Luoying still complained in the letter that Jiuli City was depressed, and their shops could not be rented.
"Why has it only been a month? Nine Pear City has regained such prosperity?" Xiong Lin was a little puzzled, and he walked through the city all the way, occasionally hearing some casual chatter around him. Xiong Lin gradually understood the reason, but his brows furrowed.
The Nine Pear Sect finally decided to conduct an introductory trial in advance. Moreover, the conditions have been relaxed a lot, and within the age of sixty, you can participate in the later stage of Qi training. Compared with the past, this condition is fully doubled, and the number of people attracted is more than doubled?
After the age of thirty, those who are in the late stage of Qi cultivation above the age of sixty abound. It can be said that as long as the conditions are a little better, you can achieve this.
"What is the sect doing here?" Xiong Lin thought all the way through Nine Pear City, frowning, "It's not a good phenomenon to be in such a hurry for quick success!"
The rules for recruiting disciples that have been inherited by the Nine Pear Sect for thousands of years are basically the standard for accepting disciples in the world of cultivating immortals. Only when there is a late stage of Qi cultivation before the age of thirty can one have the potential to go higher and farther.
Now, the conditions have been doubled, and those who reach the late stage of Qi cultivation before the age of sixty are required. This inevitably seems to be a bit of a rush for quick success, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
"Could it be that the sect is preparing to fight back against the Imperial Corpse Gate?" Xiong Lin suddenly thought of a change in his face.
"Senior brother, what are you thinking?" Suddenly, a clear voice sounded in front of him, interrupting Xiong Lin's thoughts. looked up, but it was Fu Luoying and Yan Huan waiting in front.
Half a year ago, after the Battle of Tieshan Pass. Elder Yanmu took Fu Luoying and Yan Huan to find him, and Xiong Lin knew that before Fu Tianxue left, he had asked Elder Yanmu to take care of Fu Luoying and him, but Elder Yanmu was addicted to a formation left by Fu Tianxue, and he actually forgot about it, otherwise he would not have been so easily assigned to Da Zhou for three years.
However, fortunately, the harvest in the past three years has been not small, but it is also a blessing rather than a curse. And half a year ago, Elder Yan Mu said that he would take him back to the mountain directly, but Xiong Lin refused. Seeing that there is only half a year left in the three-year assignment mission, why give up halfway, not to mention that practicing in Tieshan Pass is not much worse than in Jiuli Mountain, and you can still find some drinking friends to drink from time to time, and find some generals to practice boxing, which is more comfortable than in Jiuli Mountain.
Seeing this, Elder Yanmu did not object, but said that the mission would be over in half a year, and Xiong Lin would go to see him first when he returned to the mountain.
Now, Xiong Lin has returned to the mountain after completing the three-year task of sitting in town, and there was also a period to inform Fu Luoying that he would come back, but at this time, Fu Luoying and Yan Huan were waiting here.
"Senior brother, why are you so engrossed, you haven't even noticed us?" Fu Luoying asked with a chuckle.
"Senior Sister...... Seeing Fu Luoying, Xiong Lin also greeted with a smile, and then replied: "I heard in Jiuli City that the sect is going to hold an entry trial in advance, and the conditions have been doubled!"
"Yes, this is the news that came out of the sect half a month ago...... I heard that it was the order of the Jade Pear Ancestor himself!" Fu Luoying nodded and said when she heard this.
"Holding an introductory trial in advance to replenish the disciples who lost in the last war, this is understandable, it's just ......" Xiong Lin frowned and said, "It's just a bit of a quick success to relax the conditions at once, is this a bit of a quick success?" I wonder if the sect has decided to do something against the Imperial Corpse Gate?"
Fu Luoying nodded when she heard this, and said solemnly:
"Indeed, now the disciples in the sect are all speculating that they are going to attack the Imperial Corpse Sect...... Moreover, there are also some quests for the Imperial Corpse Gate in the Deacon Hall, and the rewards are very high!"
"What reward?" Xiong Lin asked a little strangely when he saw Fu Luoying's serious face.
"Reward Zhuji Dan and Jade Pear Dan!" Fu Luoying's words surprised Xiong Lin.
"What?Tsukidan and Yuli Dan?" Xiong Lin exclaimed.
Zhuji Dan, as the name suggests, is needed for monks to build a foundation, generally speaking, as long as the cultivation reaches the ninth level of Qi training, there are enough Zhuji Dan in hand to build a successful foundation. And the Jade Pear Pill is a unique pill of the Nine Pear Sect that can improve the probability of success in foundation building.
Take out these two pills as a reward! Xiong Lin can imagine that the outer disciples will inevitably go crazy for it. Even Xiong Lin was excited, he was already a cultivator of the eighth layer of Qi training, and he should be able to advance to the ninth layer of Qi cultivation in a year or two at most, and then he would start to build a foundation.
"Senior sister, what are the tasks?" asked Xiong Lin with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Xiong Lin, why didn't you see me, Senior Sister?" Yan Huan joked with a smile on the side, and said differently from the topic.
"Senior Sister Yan......" Xiong Lin naturally greeted again, and then looked at Fu Luoying again, wanting to know what tasks the deacon hall had, if it was suitable, he wouldn't mind making a trip.
Yan Huan said:
"Okay, don't think about those tasks in the deacon hall...... My grandfather knew that you were coming back today, so he went out of the customs to wait to see you...... Naturally, you'll have the benefits!"
"Elder Yan is waiting for me?" Xiong Lin was taken aback and said, "How is this good, it should be a junior looking for an opportunity to visit him, how can I let Elder Yan wait for me?"
"If you don't know it's good, don't talk nonsense here...... Let's go!" Yan Mu said, pulled Fu Luoying, turned around and led the way.
Fu Luoying turned around and smiled at him and said, "Senior brother, don't mind, Huanhuan is like this, there are no bad intentions......"
Xiong Lin naturally shook his head with a smile and followed. In his heart, he was thinking about the tasks of the Deacon Hall, and the Tsukidan and Yuli Dan were really dazzling.
Walking in the pear grove of Yuhua Peak, there is no trace of the battle half a year ago, that is, the pear trees that were destroyed in the war have also been replanted at this time, and the methods of immortal cultivators are sometimes indeed beyond the imagination of mortals.
Elder Yan Mu did not meet Xiong Lin at his residence, but in the sect formation hall. At the top of Yuhua Peak, with nine Yuhua pear trees as the center, there is a group of palaces, and many important places of the Jiuli Sect are in it. For example, the main hall, the array hall, the Dan Dao hall, the instrument hall, the Fu Dao hall, the deacon hall, the torture hall, and some inheritance buildings, scripture pavilions and so on are among them.
As the only formation master of the Nine Pear Sect, Yan Mu naturally mastered the Formation Dao Palace. And he has basically been studying the formation path in the array hall all year round. This time, Xiong Lin returned to the mountain, and Yan Mu actually put down the formation he was studying and wanted to see him, which really made Xiong Lin feel a little flattered.
In a side hall in the Array Dao Hall, Elder Yanmu sat on the top hand, and Xiong Lin saluted respectfully below.
"Junior Xiong Lin, meet ...... Yan Lao" Because of Fu Tianxue's relationship, Elder Yan asked Xiong Lin and Fu Luoying to call him Yan Lao.
"Hmm......" Yan Mu nodded and said, "Before Brother Fu left, he entrusted me to take proper care of your senior sisters and brothers...... Your senior sister has always been fine, but you kid has a lot of trouble......"
"Being calculated and sent to sit in the Great Zhou is also an experience, which is beneficial and harmless...... But then he fell into an inexplicable and wonderful secret realm for no reason, and he still can't find where the secret realm is...... I went to save you, and let the people of the Imperial Corpse Gate take advantage of the loophole, and almost ruined our Nine Pear Sect...... The boss scolded me for this!" Yan Mu said this, his face was stiff, and he glared at Xiong Lin.
"Let Yan Lao Cāo feel ......" Xiong Lin said helplessly again, although he muttered to himself in his heart, he had not been taken care of by the other party at all.
"Don't say I don't take care of you......" Yan Mu said above.
When Xiong Lin heard this, his heart jumped, and he almost thought that Yanmu could read minds.
"This time, the gate took out some Zhuji Dan and Yuli Dan as rewards, and issued some tasks for the Imperial Corpse Gate......" only to hear Yanmu continue, "This is indeed to deal with the Imperial Corpse Gate, and the second is that the last time the Imperial Corpse Gate attacked, the disciples of the Inner Gate Zhuji suffered heavy losses, and the door needs to add some ......"
"However, those tasks in the deacon hall are basically difficult to complete...... I also have some tasks that are much easier......" Yan Mu looked at Xiong Lin and said, "After completion, the door will also send it to Tsukidan and Yuli Dan!"
