Chapter 34: The Land of Trials
The power of the Lin family is not worth mentioning in the Xin'an realm of Nuoda, and the head of the family, Lin Damang, is only a cultivator in the early stage of the Jiedan, which is inferior to the young disciples of the Great Gate Sect. But it is this Lin Damang's own efforts that have developed the Lin family step by step to the current Cheng DΓΉ, which is not weak. Lin Damang is still somewhat famous in the Xin'an world. It's not that he is powerful and can kill people beyond the ranks, the reason why he can break into fame is not because he is outstanding, but because he is not an immortal cultivator at all!
To be precise, he is more of a martial artist. Originally, he was a secular person, who entered the Tao with martial arts and strengthened his body. With his powerful alchemy technique, he turned his true qi into a golden pill. And there are very few people in the Xin'an Realm who can rely on alchemy to form a pill, and he Lin Damang is one. Lin Damang has a rough appearance, a burly figure, and a short temperament, coupled with his horizontal kung fu, so he is called "Lin Pifu". This nickname, which was originally a bit mocking, has become Lin Damang's baby! I always feel that my strength is outstanding, and others give me this nickname because they affirm themselves.
Lin You saw this legendary "Lin Pifu" today, and sure enough, Lin Damang was more than 1.9 meters tall, and his thick arms were almost as thick as Lin You's thighs. It's not that Lin You is long and thin, Lin You can be said to be a standard figure, but Lin Damang is too burly. Lin Damang has a straightforward temperament, and when he heard that Lin You saved his children and grandchildren, he hurriedly thanked him, and Bin said that he would also invite a banquet to entertain Lin You.
This "Lin Pifu" still maintains the habit of being contaminated from the world, and he especially likes to have a good drink with others. In his thoughts, whether your feelings are iron or not depends on how much you drink. Of course, monks have a protective aura, and alcohol really can't make a monk drunk. But if Lin Damang finds out that you dare to use aura to vaporize alcohol, you will definitely scold your mother as soon as you slap the table and open your mouth. Everyone calls him Lin Pifu, which is really derogatory and evades praise. But fortunately, Lin Damang is not a stingy person, although he understands it in his heart, he doesn't care.
Lin You is embarrassed to thin out the grandeur of others, after all, people give you face, we can't help but give others face.
Lin You was very happy on this day, and he could really talk to Lin Damang. Lin Damang gives people the impression that he is very approachable and will not be polite to you, which will cause others to be favored. The banquet ended with Lin You's drunkenness, and Lin You was sent back to his room.
When the entourage exited the room, Lin You opened his eyes. Lin You's eyes were very clear, where was the slightest drunkenness. Lin You sat up, thinking back to the previous banquet, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. This Lin Damang is different from the legend! According to outsiders, Lin Damang was very arrogant and had no scheming. But when I see it today, it seems that this "Lin Piff" is not simple. During the banquet, Lin Damang tested Lin You twice. The first temptation was when Lin You first took his seat, Lin Damang pushed it casually, and the force contained in this push was not small, it should be testing his physical kung fu.
Although Lin You didn't know why he wanted to test himself, he couldn't help himself from hurting himself, so he tried his best at the moment. Neither of them took advantage. The second temptation was after the wine, Lin Damang personally poured wine for Lin You, and the secret power burst out in the process of pouring the wine, this time Lin Damang used all his strength, if he still hid his strength, then he would be hit hard this time. In this strange place, you can't get hurt by playing on your own. Although I don't know why he wants to test himself, he has to make a move.
I have to say that Lin You has been passive since he entered the Lin family, first of all, he couldn't figure out Lin Damang's true thoughts, and then this was his territory, and he had to show his skills in the face of his temptation. But don't be afraid, Lin You's Taoist magic is definitely stronger than his body, and he still has hole cards. Thinking of this, Lin You felt a little relieved. As for why Lin Damang wants to test himself, he should see you tomorrow.
After a night of silence, Lin You meditated until dawn, Lin You didn't dare to enter the deep cultivation, but just breathed in the aura of the night. Lin You felt more and more that he was about to reach the bottleneck in the early stage of foundation building, and the repeated fighting methods made Lin You's cultivation progress very fast. It's time to find a better spiritual retreat!
On the second day, Lin You got up early, because he felt that Lin Damang was waiting for him in the hall!
Lin Damang is still the same as yesterday, wearing a brocade and jade robe, but this dress is really a bit nondescript on him. With a figure like him, it would be better to wear coarse linen clothes. Lin You politely greeted Lin Damang, Lin Damang also changed yesterday's boldness, and also greeted each other with Lin You.
"Is Brother Lin You still used to living in the cold house?"
"Thank you for the hospitality of the head of the Lin family, I am very comfortable to live in, I am really sorry to disturb you. β
Lin Damang exchanged a few more words with Lin You, and finally got to the point. "Brother Lin, if I'm not mistaken, you are the Lin You who spread in the Wei State Cultivation Immortal Domain a while ago and destroyed more than 100 people of the Li family in the Wei State with the cultivation of the late stage of Qi cultivation. β
"I am indeed Lin You, but that rumor is really exaggerated. β
"Sure enough, it's you! I didn't expect you to leap from the late stage of Qi cultivation to the foundation building in just over a month! This cultivation speed is really amazing. Lin Damang didn't know if he was complimenting or what, his posture was very low, and he didn't have the slightest shelf that his predecessors in the Dan period should have. However, I have to say that Lin Damang also won Lin You's favor by doing this.
Lin Damang continued: "I have a reluctant request, I don't know if Brother Lin You can agree. β
"Please say," Lin You thought to himself, here.
Lin Damang paused for a moment and said: "It's not whether Brother Lin You is willing to be our Lin family's guest secretary, of course, this guest secretary is just a name, in fact, we only need you to help us do one thing." After the deed is done, there will be great thanks!
"I think it's better for the head of the Lin family to explain things first, I'll see if I can do what you want me to do, if I can't do it, won't I be paid and die?"
Lin Damang patted Lin You's shoulder and laughed: "Little Brother Lin You, you can rest assured, you can definitely do this." I wonder if Brother Lin has heard of the place of trials?"
"The Land of Trials? "Lin You really hasn't heard of the Land of Trials. After all, Lin You has been cultivating for more than 20 years, and his knowledge is definitely not as good as the "Lin Pifu" in front of him.
Lin Damang said, "The place of trials is where our young disciples are honed in the Southwest Region. The Land of Trials is full of demon beasts, some of them are shapeless and some are not. Overall, this is a place full of opportunities and dangers. This place of trials is opened every fifty years, and after it is opened, each faction can send its young disciples into it. However, it is very dangerous inside, and every major sect will send disciples to lead the team in the foundation building great consummation and even the knot period. In this way, you can ensure the safety of your own sect's fresh blood. But that's the big sect, and a small sect like ours can't do it. β
Lin Damang continued: "After all, we don't have such a high level of cultivation as a young disciple, and those of us of the older generation are still restricted from entering. So I can only ask Brother Lin You to help take care of my children and grandchildren.
"That's all?" Lin You asked
Lin Damang nodded, and then said: "This trial place requires a trial token to enter, a trial token can carry five people, and you can't enter without a trial token." And these tokens are in the hands of the five major sects. Our Xin'an Realm belongs to the Scattered Immortal Alliance, one of the five major forces, and the Scattered Immortal Alliance only gives us fifty tokens. My Lin family spent a lot of money and only bought one piece. β
Lin Damang saw that Lin You didn't answer, so he took out a storage bag and handed it to Lin You: "Brother Lin You, please accept the five thousand spirit stones here, and another five thousand spirit stones will be presented after the matter is completed!"
The front and back add up to a total of 10,000 spirit stones, which is not a small number. Ten thousand spirit stones can buy a good ancient treasure, Lin Yu thought, this place of trials The disciples of all major sects will go to practice, so this place of trials will definitely have a great opportunity. In this case, this place of trial is a must-go, and you can enter the place of trial and obtain 10,000 spirit stones, this is a good deal! Lin You nodded, and agreed to Lin Damang's invitation.
The two of them chatted about some more details about the Land of Trials. According to Lin Damang's description, Lin Youzhi has a general understanding of the place of trials. Legend has it that the demon race is also a human race, but later rebelled against the human race and established itself as a demon race. Since then, the human race has pursued and killed the people of the demon race with all their might. Although the demon clan is physically strong, its overall strength is much worse than that of the human race. The Hou Demon Clan was sealed in various small interfaces, and this place of trial was one of those small interfaces. However, the demon clan in this small interface is at most in the Dan period, so it is also suitable for young disciples to cultivate. Many monks die in it every year, so after so many years of accumulation, the place of trials has become a place to find treasures.
But whoever can come out alive in the land of trials will not be able to break through in their cultivation in a short time. The Land of Trials opens itself every fifty years, but this entrance is guarded by people from the five major sects, and those who don't have tokens don't want to enter. If you want to break through and hum, you will be hunted down and killed by the five major forces collectively! No one has dared to break through for so many years, which shows that the power of the alliance of the five major forces is really irreversible.
At this time, the number of tokens reflects the strength of a force. Like the five major forces Enlightenment Dao Sect, Listening to the Wind Valley, Moon Worship Sect, Scattered Immortal Alliance, and Immortal Sword Sect, each sect has ten tokens! No matter how bad the forces are, there will be four or five, and the weaker ones will be two or three. Small forces like the Lin family can only get one, and those who are lucky may get two. And some sects may not get any of them, this time the Tang Yun faction and the Lin family jointly competed for a token, but failed. That's why he went to trouble the Lin family, and the reason why Mo Shengyu dared to openly attack the Lin family that time was because of this reason!
