Chapter 217 "Brother Lin" Becomes "Xiao Lin"

Xuantian Sect.

The atmosphere was extremely gloomy, especially among the young disciples.

There are also those in other sects who are in a depressed mood, but those sects are in a depressed mood because of the death of their elders, their dead brothers, and their dead relatives and friends.

But the disciples of Xuantian Sect are different.

During the domain war, they were still heroes who fought against the Luoyang Domain, but when the domain war ended inexplicably, they became traitors.

This extreme identity reversal is unacceptable to the disciples of Xuantian Sect.

At first, they argued and even fought with the monks who spread rumors. However, as the elders fell silent collectively, from the sect master to the elders, no one spoke. These disciples knew that this was probably not a rumor.

Xuantian Sect really betrayed Chengshan Domain.

The Xuantian Sect has changed from one of the four major sects to the most ignored sect in the entire Chengshan Region, and its previous reputation has plummeted.

For the Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment disciples of the Xuantian Sect, not only was this gap unacceptable, but more importantly, they were completely unaware of this matter.

In order to keep it secret, only the elders of the entire Xuantian Sect knew the truth.

"Father, those who are leaving should be killed as traitors to the clan. Why should we let them go?"

Yue Yaotian didn't understand why his father did not punish those Qi Condensation disciples who left the sect and allowed them to leave.

We are still just Qi Condensation disciples now, if there is no thunderous method, those Foundation Establishment disciples may also have other ideas.

"Yaotian, your temper is too cruel. In the past, you didn't take it seriously as a father, but now it seems that this is not a good thing."

Yue Zhentao looked at his son. He was extremely happy when his son was valued by Zixiao Sect. For this reason, he handed over most of the power of the sect to his son.

The Supreme Elder also supported his decision. The Supreme Elder thought the same as himself. Yaotian's future lies in the Central Region.

It doesn't matter if the Chengshan Domain is left to Yaotian's toss, because the monks in the entire Chengshan Domain are not on the same level as Yaotian.

It was precisely because of his own indulgence that Yaotian's temper became vicious and he could not tolerate any failure.

But now, first the little girl from Wentianmen was directly accepted as a disciple by the Soul Realm, and then Tang Ruowei was accepted as a disciple by Suxin Island.

The strength of Suxin Island is not weaker than that of Zixiao Sect. According to what Senior Brother Yaotian said, the one from Suxin Island has been treated as a first-class disciple, so when Tang Ruowei arrives at Suxin Island, she will be accepted as a disciple by the elders.

If we include the Taiyuan Peak disciple, Yaotian no longer has the capital to be superior.

"These disciples are my Xuantian Sect's disciples after all. Even though they now have some misunderstandings and dissatisfaction with the sect, they still have the feelings of sect's cultivation in their hearts."

Yue Zhentao decided to give his son some pointers: "My father will inform the sect disciples today about why he wants to cooperate with Luoyang Territory."

"Father, you must not!"

Yue Yaotian quickly stopped him. Doesn't this mean he admitted that Xuantian Sect betrayed Chengshan Domain?

"Do you think it will be useful if you don't admit it?" Yue Zhentao glared at his son and said, "Not knowing him is equivalent to acquiescence. Believe it or not, if you deny it, the three major sects of Xiyue Sect will tell the truth immediately. "

Yue Yaotian was silent because he knew what his father said was correct. The reason why Xiyue Sect and Wentian Sect did not tell the truth now was just to wait for their Xuantian Sect's next move.

"As a father, I still say the same thing. Now you have to endure it. Don't forget what your senior brother told you."

"Father, I understand. I will stay in the sect during this period and not go anywhere."

Although he was very reluctant, Yue Yaotian could only endure this tone.

…

…

Go to Cloud City.

"Old Liu, are you ready for this year's tax spirit? Do you want me to delay it for two years?"

"That's it, thank you, Brother Lin."

At the foot of a mountain peak, a young monk stood in a field. From two bamboo huts in the middle of the field, an old man walked out with a smile.

“This is last year’s and this is this year’s.”

Lin Hao took the spirit stone bag handed over by the old man, counted the spirit stones inside, frowned and said, "Why are there three more pieces?"

The medicine field tax set by the sect is thirty spiritual stones per year for ten acres of spiritual land. When a foundation-building monk made a breakthrough last year, the energy spread to the spiritual field contracted by Old Liu and destroyed the spiritual medicine.

The foundation-building monk left after the breakthrough. The sect didn't care about this. Old Liu still had to pay the spiritual field tax.

The elixir in the spiritual field was destroyed, and Lao Liu had no elixir to sell. Where did he get the spiritual stone to hand over to the sect?

Seeing that Old Liu and his wife were quite old, he first took out thirty spiritual stones and handed them over to the sect for Old Liu.

"Brother Lin gave me thirty spiritual stones last year. The extra three spiritual stones are interest. Without Brother Lin's help, I would have had no choice but to borrow spiritual stones from a bank, and the interest would be even higher than this." expensive."

"Forget it, I don't lack these three spiritual stones of yours, Lao Liu, you should keep them for yourself."

Lin Hao took out the three spiritual stones and returned them to the old man. He would help Lao Liu purely out of sympathy, not for interest.

"I said, Lao Liu, don't you and your wife have any children?"

To be honest, Lin Hao felt that he couldn't see through Lao Liu and Lao Liu's wife. This was not the realm of being able to see through.

Both Lao Liu and Lao Liu's wife were in the late stages of Qi Condensation, and their realms were the same as his. What he couldn't see through was the behavior of Lao Liu and his wife.

At such an old age, there is definitely no hope of breaking through the foundation building, and there are no descendants. Why are you still working hard to grow elixirs and earn so many spiritual stones?

Wouldn't it be nice to find any mortal country and spend the rest of your life as a rich man?

"My wife and I are going to travel around. We don't have enough spiritual stones. We just want to be a medicine farmer to earn some spiritual stones. We will stop working when we earn enough travel expenses."

"Traveling around?"

Lin Hao still couldn't understand. He nodded and reminded: "I may not be the one to collect the medicine field tax next year. Old Liu, you must be prepared."

The senior brother who will take over this task next year is said to be very cold-tempered and will not allow the medicine farmer to default on the spiritual stones.

"Brother Lin, has he been promoted?" the old man asked curiously.

"What's the promotion? I'm..." Lin Hao smiled bitterly and changed the subject: "Old Liu, why are you so curious? At such an old age, you should understand that curiosity will bring you trouble."

"If it were anyone else, I, the old man, would definitely not be curious, but Brother Lin is kind-hearted. If he gets promoted, I will also be happy, old man."

"It's not a good thing anyway, okay, I'm leaving."

Lin Hao waved and said goodbye. His master was an elder of the sect, but he died on the border in the recent domain battle.

Without the protection of the master, the second senior brother who had some grudges with him took the opportunity to attack him. None of the sect masters and other elders stepped forward to rescue him. Even the younger junior sister who had said she wanted to marry him recently has They all found excuses to avoid him.

All these changes are only because the second senior brother's master, the third elder, is still alive and has broken through to the middle stage of foundation building. He is currently the number one master in the sect.

Lin Hao turned around to leave, but found that there was a man walking towards him behind him. There was a look of caution in his eyes. This man was only a few dozen meters away from him, but he was unaware of it. I'm afraid his strength is higher than his own.

"Teacher, you and my wife make it easy for me to find you."

The man approached, and Lin Hao was about to question the man's identity, but heard the man speak first, and immediately looked back at Lao Liu.

Is this person Lao Liu's apprentice?

Old Liu has such a powerful apprentice, why does he still want to be a medicine farmer?

"Didn't you tell me that your wife and I are going to travel all over the world, so there is no need to come to us."

Liu Junshan looked at Chu Ning. He hadn't seen him for decades. His disciple's appearance had not changed at all. On the contrary, he had aged.

Hearing the commotion, Chen Jingyi also walked out of the bamboo house behind her.

"Master's wife." Chu Ning greeted Chen Jingyi with a smile when she saw her coming out.

"Why are you here, kid?"

Chen Jingyi was also very happy to see Chu Ning. In the previous years of territorial wars, she and her husband were a little worried, fearing that Chu Ning would also be assigned to the border battlefield.

"I'm here to report a happy event to my two elders. I'm getting married to Ruowei." Chu Ning said with a smile.

"With that girl from the Tang family? This is a great thing."

"That's a great thing, but the teacher, the wife and you are not here, so I can't hold this wedding. In order to become a groom as soon as possible, I have been looking for you and me everywhere."

Chu Ning was joking. Although the teacher and his mistress were traveling, they still wrote letters back to the Chen family in the Liang Dynasty. He was able to find the teacher because he went to the Liang Dynasty and learned the address of the teacher's mailing letter from the Chen family. Found here.

"If you're to blame, it's your teacher. He was the one who said he wanted to earn spiritual stones and travel."

"Just listen to this kid's nonsense. I just wrote a letter to that guy Chen Jingwu last year. We haven't changed places this year, so we still have to look for him everywhere."

Liu Junshan knew his disciple very well. If Chu Ning wanted to find him, he must have gone back to Liang Dynasty to ask acquaintances first. Moreover, the domain war had not ended long ago, so there would definitely not be a wedding during the domain war.

When Lin Hao listened to the words of Master Liu Junshan and Chu Ning, he felt nostalgic in his heart. If his master was still alive, the same would be true between him and his master.

"Old Liu, since your apprentice is here to find you, then go back with your apprentice. You are quite old, so don't be so playful."

The corners of Liu Junshan's mouth twitched. What do you mean by being too playful?

"Xiao Lin, don't leave in a hurry yet."

Lin Hao was stunned, when did he become Xiao Lin, wasn't he Brother Lin?

"Chun Ning, the years your wife and I were here in Shangyun City were all thanks to Xiao Lin's care."

"Disciple understands."

As soon as Chu Ning heard what his teacher said, he understood what the teacher meant.

"Thank you, Xiaolin, for taking care of my teacher."

Lin Hao's eyes widened, what do you mean, master and disciple?

Just change "Brother Lin" to Xiao Lin. You look about the same age as me. Is it appropriate to call me Xiao Lin?

"This is a little thought, Xiao Lin, please accept it."

Chu Ning took out a jade box.

Lin Hao:......

Why does this sound so awkward?

"Xiao Lin, this master and apprentice are joking with you, but you just accept this gift."

Chen Jingyi saw Lin Hao's confused expression and glared at her husband angrily, saying that the older he got, the more naughty he became. Her husband was a steady person when he was young, but now he likes to tease people when he is old.

"Okay, then I'll accept it."

After hearing what Chen Jingyi said, Lin Hao was not polite. He took the jade box handed over by Chu Ning and put it in his arms without opening it.

"Teacher, let's go."

Chu Ning raised his right hand, and a flying boat appeared. Lin Hao was stunned when he saw the flying boat.

Foundation-building monk!

Lao Liu's disciple turned out to be a foundation-building monk.

He originally thought that the other party was in the late stage of Qi Condensation like himself, but might be more advanced than himself.

I never expected that it would be a foundation-building monk.

Chu Ning took the teacher and his wife onto the flying boat, smiled at Lin Hao who was stunned, and drove away in the flying boat.

"Chun Ning, what gift do you want to give Xiaolin?" Liu Junshan asked curiously after getting on the flying boat.

"Teacher, tell me first, why do you want to help Xiao Lin?" Chu Ning asked.

"How do you know I want to help him?"

"Teacher, you are not the kind of person who asks your disciples to thank others for you. The only possibility is that Xiao Lin is in trouble and you can't help, so you asked your disciples to give you a thank you gift."

The corner of Liu Junshan's mouth twitched, as if he couldn't help.

Chen Jingyi on the side couldn't help laughing. The master and apprentice really knew each other very well.

"Your teacher heard someone say that Xiao Lin's master died in the battle at the border. Without his master as a backer, Xiao Lin suffered suppression in the sect."

Chen Jingyi explained the reason. There are nearly a hundred medicinal farmers in thousands of acres of spiritual fields at the foot of the mountain. The medicinal farmers often chat together. Some of the medicinal farmers are relatively well-informed and have a better understanding of the internal situation of the Qingling Gate to which the medicinal fields belong. Liu Junshan is the one. In a chat, I heard other drug farmers mention Lin Hao’s situation.

"So that's it. Then the teacher and I are still on the same page. Since Xiao Lin has lost his backer, let him be his own backer."

Chu Ning smiled slightly. Not to mention, this kind of behavior that changes the fate of others is quite satisfying.

…

The flying boat left and disappeared from the sky. Only then did Lin Hao wake up from the shock.

"Old Liu, it's true that he has a foundation-building disciple and is also a medicine farmer. I don't know what he thinks. He wants to travel around the world and has no travel expenses. Will his disciple refuse to pay?"

Lin Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head. He believed that if he told other farmers what he had just seen, he was afraid that none of them would believe it.

"Then this jade box..."

After complaining, Lin Hao suddenly thought and took out the jade box. If Lao Liu's disciple was only in the late stage of Qi Condensation, he wouldn't have much expectations for this jade box, but if he was a foundation-building monk, it would really be great. aroused his expectations.

Juyuan Dan or a magic weapon?

Lin Hao opened the jade box with expectation. The next moment, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't imagine what he saw.

boom!

Lin Hao closed the jade box instantly, but then opened it immediately.

Because he was afraid of being dazzled.

Although with his strength, this situation is impossible.

But there was no way, the contents in the jade box were beyond his imagination, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
