Chapter 16: Cold Whispers and Suspicions
After gathering his thoughts, Lin Xiu heard the sound of talking in the courtyard. When I went out, I saw several disciples of the Zhongnan Sect standing in front of the alchemy building and talking.
Seeing Lin Xiu appear, one of the skinny white-robed disciples immediately laughed and said, "You see, that's Lin Xiu, relying on others to kneel and beg for talent. ”
These people were all around Lin Xiu, and only one female disciple stood in place with a sword, and this person was the disciple of Qianyu Peak who participated in the competition yesterday, Murong Wanting.
"Lin Xiu, you've been with this old man all night, have you learned his stunts?" the skinny disciple smiled.
Another young disciple immediately asked, "Senior brother, what is Old Man Qi's stunt?"
"Thick-skinned. ”
When the words fell, several people laughed.
Hearing this, Lin Xiu's heart swelled with anger, he stared coldly at the black and thin white-robed disciple, and said word by word: "You are not allowed to talk about my master like this. ”
"Yo-heh. Lin Xiu, you've only been getting started for a day, what's the matter? I want to make a move with your Senior Brother Feng Tang, right? "This thin black disciple named Feng Tang endured an extremely difficult test when he entered the entrance, and after almost losing his life, he also reluctantly entered the Zhongnan faction. Seeing that Lin Xiu actually had a big disciple of the Taishan Sect who took out the supreme treasure in the door to recommend the entry, Feng Tang and those white-robed disciples who were in a similar situation to him were not angry, and they had long wanted to teach Lin Xiu a lesson. The wild words just now were just to light a fire in Lin Xiu's heart.
Lin Xiu stared at the man fearlessly, Feng Tang couldn't stand Lin Xiu's eyes in his heart, and immediately raised the long sword in his hand, wanting a scabbard to smash Lin Xiu's head.
"Hmph. ”
Murong Wanting on the side snorted coldly, and Feng Tang immediately turned around when he heard it, looked at Murong Wanting with a hateful smile and said, "Senior Sister Wanting, what do you command?
Murong Wanting said coldly: "You can use as much force as you like, but I just don't know what Shangguan Yuhu will do to you after he finds out." ”
After Murong Wanting said this, Feng Tang's expression immediately froze. He thought secretly in his heart: "Shangguan Yuhu, I heard that kid's cultivation is already the same as Senior Brother Fang Yangming, he is the seventh layer of Qi Condensation. Damn ......"
Secretly scolding, Qi Heng happened to hold a few big gourd pills and walked out of the house with a smile. Seeing those disciples surrounding Lin Xiu, Qi Heng's face changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward and handed the gourd to these white-robed disciples in front of him.
"Lin Xiu, don't be stunned, call Senior Brother quickly. With Qi Heng's status, he could completely warn these white-robed disciples in front of him. But he knew very well that if he looked at these people angrily, it would only make Lin Xiu's life in the Zhongnan faction even more difficult in the future, and instead of doing this, he simply lowered his posture.
Feng Tang snorted coldly, grabbed a gourd in Qi Heng's arms and said, "Master Qi, teach your apprentice well, don't think that it's okay to have Shangguan Yuhu covered by it, if you make Lao Tzu unhappy, be careful that he will become crippled tomorrow." ”
After speaking, Feng Tang turned around and left with the group, and when he left, he didn't forget to turn his head and nod to Senior Sister Wanting.
After a few people left, Murong Wanting stepped forward and said, "Master, Master asked me to tell you that his Xiao Yuan Dan is running out, so let you hurry up and refine three more bottles." ”
"Three bottles of Xiao Yuan Dan, when will Senior Brother He Ting want it?"
"Ten days later. Murong Wanting said without any tone.
"Ten days, this ...... Wanting, can you go back and talk to Senior Brother He Ting and let him have a grace period of four or five days. The materials for refining Xiao Yuan Dan are too difficult to find, and this alone will take at least three days. The wrinkles on Qi Heng's face were piled together.
"Okay, but Master, his old man's cultivation has grown rapidly recently, I'm afraid I don't want to delay, I advise Master Venerable to go and collect materials today." ”
Murong Wanting's tone was cold, and Lin Xiu saw the embarrassment on Master's face, and couldn't help but say: "You are deceiving people too much, Master and his old man are refining pills alone, and you can give whatever you want." ”
After Lin Xiu finished speaking, Murong Wanting's eyes flashed, and the unsheathed long sword in her hand was already against Lin Xiu's throat. That face was indeed extremely beautiful, but the killing intent revealed was even more chilling.
"Lin Xiu, do you think that the only people in the Zhongnan faction who hate you are Feng Tang?" Murong Wanting said coldly, "What qualifications do you have to talk to me? Next time, if you talk more, it won't be the scabbard that will hold your throat." ”
After speaking, Murong Wanting indifferently put away her sword, flew up, and turned into a white light and left Xiaoquan Peak.
Qi Heng hurriedly bent down to look at Lin Xiu's reddened throat, and said urgently: "Oh, apprentice, why are you going to provoke that little aunt and grandmother, are you okay?"
"It's all right, Master. After Lin Xiu finished speaking, he looked at the direction of Murong Wanting's departure in the sky, and said secretly in his heart: "Murong Wanting, today you said that I am not qualified to talk to you, and in other days, I will let you not even have the qualifications to raise your eyes to look at me." ”
The Xiao Yuan Pill that He Ting of Qianyu Peak wanted was a very peculiar Chinese pill. In ordinary cultivation, Xiao Yuan Dan is of no help to cultivators, but once the spiritual power in the cultivator's body is greatly improved, in this process, Xiao Yuan Dan can double the effect of spiritual power enhancement.
At this moment, Qi Heng took Lin Xiu to look for materials for making Xiao Yuan Dan in the woods of Xiaoquan Peak, he took a white plant and said: "This is 'White Immortal Grass', the main reason for making Xiao Yuan Dan is its roots, today we must find at least thirty beads of White Immortal Grass, otherwise we will not be able to send you three bottles of Xiao Yuan Dan to Master He Ting." ”
Lin Xiu said: "Master, Master He Ting is urging you so urgently, you still have to rush to make other pills, they are really too deceitful. ”
Master smiled, "Lin Xiu, you are still too young, you will understand later." ”
The look on Master's face made Lin Xiu feel sad for a while, and he immediately said, "Master, I'll go ahead and have a look, and it will definitely be much faster to look for it separately." ”
"It's fine, but don't go too far, although there are no strange beasts on Xiaoquan Peak, don't get lost. Master admonished.
Lin Xiu hummed, and then walked forward with the bamboo basket on his back.
After searching in the dense forest for a long time, Lin Xiu only found two white fairy grasses. He couldn't help but worry, if he couldn't find thirty white immortal grasses today, the time for alchemy would definitely be delayed. Lin Xiu didn't care about the cultivation of that master of Qianyu Peak, he just didn't want the master to be blamed for this matter. So, he continued to search, and before he knew it, he had reached the edge of a cliff in Xiaoquan Peak.
was about to turn back, but suddenly, Lin Xiu saw a faint blue light on the white rocks on the edge of the cliff. He walked over and squatted down to take a look, and found that what emitted a faint light was a liquid, and it also had an extremely strong special smell that Lin Xiu couldn't tell what it was.
Looking down, Lin Xiu found that the liquid had spread all the way to the cliff wall below. Lin Xiu lay on the ground, looked down, and suddenly, a black thing flashed on the cliff wall below, and before Lin Xiu could see its appearance clearly, the thing instantly disappeared into a crack two feet wide.
The crack was ten zhang away from the bottom of the cliff, and it was impossible for Lin Xiu to go down, but just as he was thinking about the thing just now, he suddenly saw that on the rocks around the crack, there were actually dense white fairy grasses, and there were no less than fifty of them.
Lin Xiu's heart was excited, but then he thought, "How can I climb over such a cliff?"
After careful inspection, he found that there was a pine tree growing on the rocks above the crack, and if he could tie a rope to his body and go down to the pine tree, he would definitely be able to get the white fairy grass underneath.
He stood up and returned to the forest, trying to see if there were any stronger vines around him. After searching for a long time, Lin Xiu still found nothing. In the end, he felt that he had better go back and tell Master that the white fairy grass that grew in that kind of place should be easy for Master to pick.
At this moment, a white figure suddenly landed in front of Lin Xiu from the top of his head. Lin Xiu raised his eyes and saw that it was a white-robed disciple of the Zhongnan Sect who was wearing the same as himself, and he was about twenty years old.
"You're Senior Brother Lin Xiulin, right?" the young white-robed disciple asked with a smile.
"Yes. Dare to ask Senior Brother Honorable Name, What are you looking for me?" After Lin Xiu finished speaking, he suddenly felt that this person's voice sounded a little familiar.
"Hehe, my name is Chu Tianling, and there is nothing else, just passing by Xiaoquanfeng and seeing that my junior brother is here, I came to say hello to you. ”
Listening to the other party's mouth again, Lin Xiu even concluded that he had heard this voice somewhere before.
"Senior Brother Lin, I heard that you are not talented enough but you can still enter my Zhongnan faction, I really don't believe this, I happened to meet you today, can Senior Brother stretch out his palm and let me see what your talent is?" Chu Tianling continued to laugh.
Hearing this laughter, Lin Xiu suddenly remembered that this was the voice he had heard in the mezzanine of Dean Zeng's bedroom that day.
"Zhao Yuqi?" Lin Xiu's heart tightened, but his expression still remained calm. This voice was very different from the voice of the head Zhao Yuqi that I heard when I entered, but it was the voice that forced Dean Zeng to ask in the bedroom that day. Lin Xiu immediately thought: "This Zhao Yuqi must have a spell to turn into the appearance and voice of others, if it is really him, then he must be looking for me to find the whereabouts of the ten-layer dream realm." ”
After thinking about it secretly, Lin Xiu slowly stretched out his right hand.
The young monk with the pseudonym Chu Tianling, who was actually Zhao Yuqi, had an indifferent expression on his face, he gently grabbed Lin Xiu's right hand, and a white spiritual power instantly submerged into Lin Xiu's palm.
Soon, Zhao Yuqi took her hand back. "Hehe, the talent of the junior brother is really the same as the rumors, then you have to step up your cultivation in the future, otherwise you will be bullied by other senior brothers. ”
After speaking, Zhao Yuqi waved her hand, and her figure immediately disappeared in place.
After flying out of Xiaoquan Peak, Zhao Yuqi secretly said in his heart: "The ten-layer dream realm is not in this kid, but it's strange, his talent is obviously very low, and the aura in his body is pitiful, but why is the trick points all over his body like he has been hit by a large amount of aura? Could it be that Xu Chunqiu helped him rush his pulse? Hmm...... We can't let him go, and we will continue to observe him in the future. (It's not easy to write a book, ask for a collection.) )
