Chapter 142 Return to the Sect
The hinterland of the Blood Sect is not suitable for flying by boat.
Tian Lin and Zhao Bei wielded swords all the way, and finally arrived at Shenxian Town after three or four days.
This place is said to be a small town, but in fact it only has a few mountains and a few villages. It is a place where even the Blood Cultists are not willing to come.
"People say that if you rely on the mountains, you will eat the mountains; if you rely on the sea, you will eat the sea. At Shenxian Pond, you can neither go to the sea nor fish."
When he finally arrived at Shenxiantang and looked at the boundless sea, Zhao Bei was inevitably disappointed.
He thought that Shenxiantang must have some different wonders, but after seeing Shenxiantang, he realized that Shenxiantang was no different from other sea areas.
"The stone road ahead is probably the site of the original wharf. The ancestors of the Immortal Sect all left here to seek immortality in Cangzhou."
Seeing a tall wooden pile near the sea in front of him, Zhao Bei's mood cheered up a little.
He looked at this wooden pile that was almost incorruptible for thousands of years, and imagined that several ancestors must have settled in front of this wooden pile, and they had also looked at the vast sea in the distance beside this wooden pile like him.
Tian Lin couldn't feel Zhao Bei's mood at all. No matter how respectful he was, the stake was still just a stake, worse than a thousand years ago.
"Junior Brother Zhao, do you think this sea water has changed differently from a thousand years ago?"
Tian Lin walked to the coast alone and reached out to touch the warm waves.
"Senior brother, this is a strange question. Who in this Jade Dragon Continent has seen the sea a thousand years ago?"
Having said that, Zhao Bei walked to Tian Lin, stepped on the waves, and bent down to grab a handful.
The water flowed between his fingers, leaving only a few gravels behind.
He put it on the tip of his tongue and licked it. The sea water was slightly bitter, but he couldn't detect anything unusual.
"This sea must be different from what it was a thousand years ago."
In Tian Lin's eyes, the reminder of the [Water Spirit Foundation Establishment Pond] in the fantasy world of Shenxian Pond has now changed to the reminder of the [Earth Spirit Foundation Establishment Pond].
He did not expect that in the illusion, he followed Ancestor Yaoyue's perspective and searched for the Foundation Establishment Pond but could not find it. Instead, he saw the Earth Spirit Foundation Establishment Pond outside the Water Spirit Foundation Establishment Pond here in Shenxian Pond.
This change caught Tian Lin off guard.
"Yes, the past is thousands of years old. How can the people and things a thousand years ago be the same as they will be a thousand years later?"
Zhao Beihui misunderstood what Tian Lin meant, and then expressed his emotions with Tian Lin's words:
"On Jade Dragon Continent, before our ancestors, there were countless people who wanted to go to sea to find immortals——
But this continent is like an isolated island. Although there is no 'Shenxian Pond' on the other sides, they are all boundless seas.
Only Shenxian Pond, although dangerous, can connect to another Immortal Family Holy Land. "
Zhao Bei's words were correct. As far as Tian Lin knew, the Yulong Continent was originally a part of Cangzhou.
If it weren't for the swordsman's sword-cutting, there wouldn't be a Shenxiantang in Yulong Continent, a port truly surrounded by the sea on three sides.
"Junior Brother Zhao, let's visit the farmers in Shenxian Town. They live on the coast all year round, and they probably know Shenxian Pond better than we do."
Tian Lin looked at Zhao Bei.
At this time, Zhao Bei was placing a piece of wood chip in his hand on the shore. When the waves hit the shore, the wood chip was first thrown high and then faded to the sea along with the water surface.
The wood chips that were originally floating on the water sank and disappeared in an instant as soon as they entered the sea.
When he heard Tian Lin talking, he stopped his curiosity and followed Tian Lin Yujian into the forest behind him.
Shenxian Town is close to the sea, but almost everyone living in Shenxian Town is a hunter.
According to what these hunters said, the water in Shenxiantang would change every once in a while.
But this change does not happen from time to time, but every once in a while, the water on the sea surface will sink to the bottom of the sea, and the water on the bottom of the sea will rise to the sea surface.
Thousands of years ago, when Shenxian Town was still very lively, the townspeople realized that Shenxian Pond might be composed of five types of water.
One type of water is so poisonous that only golden ear fish dare to swim in this layer of water.
One kind of water is poisonous, but the poison is mild. People can boil some gray-brown dust from the water.
…
Five different types of water create Shenxian Pond.
The only one that can swim in the five kinds of water is the Five Elements Jiao.
In the early days, the townspeople of Shenxian Town were able to use special means to lure the Five Elements Jiao ashore and try to hunt down the Five Elements Jiao to seize the Five Elements Jiao Pearl.
"The rise and fall of the five types of water has always existed thousands of years ago. But in the next thousand years, the rise and fall of these five types of water began to slow down. From more than ten years to several decades -
Today, the sea surface of Shenxiantang has not changed water for two hundred years. "
The old man said: "It would be fine if it were five poisonous water, but in this slightly poisonous water, there are few fish and they are inedible - over time, no one in Shenxian Town will go to the sea anymore."
Zhao Bei curiously asked the old man: "I just tried it and found that wood cannot float in this Sinking Fairy Pond. Everything really sinks.
In this case, why can those fish swim on the sea? "
The old man immediately said: "Except for the Five Elements Jiao, those fish cannot swim at will. Just like the golden ear fish, it can also swim in non-toxic waters.
But Shenxian Pond seems to have placed a curse on these fish. The golden ear fish can only survive in poisonous waters, and the sawtooth demon can only survive in slightly poisonous waters. "
He said: "When you see fish and shrimp appearing on the sea surface, you think that the fish can avoid the fate of being 'swallowed' by the Shenxian Pond. In fact, this is not the case - if the sea surface is non-toxic water, the golden ear fish will also sink into the poisonous water. into the sea.”
Tian Lin and Zhao Bei visited several homes and got roughly the same answers.
In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Bei had suffered from diarrhea for the whole day, while Tian Lin took the opportunity to absorb the Earth Spirit Foundation Establishment Pool in the deserted sea water.
The Five Elements Foundation Building Pool is not used to open acupuncture points, but to completely turn the twelve meridians into 'golden spiritual veins'.
In order to turn all twelve meridians into golden spiritual veins, Tian Lin practiced in Shenxiantang for nearly a month.
Master Zhao Bei left the next day after having diarrhea. He had to go back and resume his duties with Elder Xiao, lest Elder Xiao think that Tian Lin and him had betrayed the Yaoyue Sect.
In one month, Tian Lin did not know how many earth spirit foundation pools he had absorbed.
Of course his consumption was not small, but compared to the entire slightly poisonous sea water, what Tian Lin absorbed was only a drop in the ocean.
Before Tian Lin could return to his clan, Zhao Bei returned to Shenxiantang.
He looked at Tian Lin and said happily:
"Senior brother, you are not in a hurry to return to the sect. We invite the Yue Sect to build another dojo in Quzhou."
Tian Lin was a little surprised, not that Yue Yuezong wanted to build a dojo in Quzhou, but that Xing Tongtian was moving so fast and boldly.
"Quzhou has the largest number of blood cultists, and the bodies of blood cultists are more suitable for refining elixirs than ordinary monks. If Head Xing wants the sect to develop and has a steady stream of blood elixirs, he will definitely not let go of Quzhou."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, he frowned and said:
"It's just that Quzhou has been run by Xue En for so long, and our Yueyue Sect is an outsider. I'm afraid it won't be possible to take root in Quzhou."
"It seems that Sect Leader Xun of the Holy Sect was a big help. He had a fight with Xue En, and Xue En was seriously injured——
Now that Head Xing came to Quzhou with several elders and took action together with the elders of the Qi Sect, Xue En and his men could only flee. "
Tian Lin was not as excited as Zhao Bei. He asked Zhao Beidao: "Quzhou is the jurisdiction of Qi Zong. We invite Yue Zong to build a dojo here. Will the Qi Zong people agree?"
"Senior brother, don't worry. The two heads have already reached an agreement. This hinterland of the Blood Sect will be the dojo of my Yaoyue Sect from now on, while the south of Quzhou will still be under the jurisdiction of the Qi Sect."
Zhao Beidao: "Now the sect is in urgent need of sect disciples to manage the counties. Senior brother, do you want to be the county magistrate?"
The Yaoyue Sect will send out a group of disciples every fifteen to twenty years, and Zhao Bei is not far away from becoming a disciple of the sect.
He now has no hope of building a foundation, and his mind is no longer on cultivation.
As for becoming a county magistrate in the secular world, based on his status as a disciple of the Yue Sect, he was naturally a local emperor who could not be controlled by the imperial court.
"Peak Master and Senior Sister Xiao Hong have also come to Quzhou?"
Tian Lin did not rush to answer Zhao Bei, but asked.
Zhao Bei shook his head and said: "The peak master doesn't like to go out. He said he will guard Baihua Peak and will not come to Quzhou in the future."
Tian Lin said: "I don't like Quzhou either, so I'd better return to my clan."
Now that he has found a way to build the foundation of the Five Elements, how can he be willing to stay in Quzhou?
Zhao Bei wanted to persuade him again, but Tian Lin said with a smile: "You and I have different ambitions, I only want to seek immortality, and if you invite the Yuezong to build a dojo in Quzhou, you will definitely be busy with things.
I'm afraid of trouble the most, so it's better not to stay in Quzhou. "
Zhao Bei felt regretful and said frankly: "If senior brother is here and you and I help each other, maybe we can rebuild the clan family."
Tian Lin was not interested in establishing a clan family, he said: "Since junior brother wants to stay in Quzhou, you must help me pay attention to the Lingbang Pearl if you have the opportunity in the future.
When the time comes, tell me how many spiritual stones you will need by sending a letter, and I will deliver them to you personally. "
Zhao Bei nodded and said: "I know that senior brother's taste is different from others. When the time comes, I will rebuild the Zhao family caravan and help you collect delicacies from all over the world."
The two of them had dinner at a tavern in Quzhou. Tian Lin was not interested in the new dojo of Yueyue Sect, so he took a flying boat back to Yingzhou.
Xing Tongtian wanted to build a new Taoist temple in Quzhou and took away almost all the disciples of the Yaoyue Sect in Yingzhou.
When Tian Lin returned to Baihua Peak, he was surprised to see that in addition to Elder Xiao, there was also Sect Master Xun who worshiped the Holy Sect.
While he was performing the ceremony with the two of them, Xiao Hong went to get a stool for Tian Lin.
Over there, Sect Master Xun looked at Tian Lin and asked Elder Xiao with a smile: "Is this Junior Brother Liu's apprentice? He is young and has reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining. I think he is no worse than that Xing Shanping."
Elder Xiao snorted coldly and said, "I don't know what his master was thinking, leaving him here alone but taking Xing Shanping away."
After speaking, he suddenly looked at Tian Lin and said, "I want you to bring Han Yue back, why did you let him go?"
Tian Lin said: "As soon as Zhong Wuji died, Junior Sister Han's heart also died. I think she will never come out to harm others again."
Elder Xiao said: "If you take her back to the sect, she can still survive. If you don't take her back to the sect, with her arrogant temperament, she will probably feel that life is boring, and she will follow her senior brother."
Tian Lin said: "That is also a relief for Junior Sister Han. It is also a relief for those who were killed by her."
At this time, Xiao Hong brought out bowls and chopsticks for Tian Lin from the room, and Elder Xiao shut up and stopped mentioning Han Yue to Tian Lin.
Tian Lin sat at the table and glanced at the food on the stone table.
Elder Xiao sneered and said, "They say you are a glutton, and you won't stop talking when you are practicing. Now, I am afraid that the food served by the Yueyue Sect will not be to your liking."
Xing Tongtian made a "big move" to Yaoyue Sect. Not only did he take away most of the people in the kitchen, he also took away many of the rare and exotic beasts raised in Ten Thousand Beasts Peak.
It will be extremely difficult for Tian Lin to eat bird eggs, grass god fish and three-legged toads in the future.
Fortunately, Tian Lin doesn't need these things now. He picked up a chopstick and said, "Although I like to eat, I'm not picky about food."
Elder Xiao then asked him: "What are your plans for the future? I asked Zhao Bei to keep you in Quzhou, why did you come back? Now that you are an inner disciple, you don't need to climb Tao Mountain anymore, but you should do it for yourself Make plans for the foundation building journey.”
Tian Lin knew that Elder Xiao was a little confused now.
On the one hand, Elder Xiao hated the blood cultists who practiced blood qi, and he even had a quarrel with Xing Tongtian about this.
But on the other hand, the road to foundation building is now cut off.
If ordinary people want to build a foundation, they have to cultivate the blood energy to find a way to build a foundation.
Elder Xiao felt that it would be a pity that Tian Lin's talent stopped at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
"The disciple is still young and is not in a hurry to build the foundation. Mountain climbing can give me more experience in fighting for my life, so next I plan to retreat to mountain climbing."
Elder Xiao laughed angrily, feeling happy and unhappy at the same time.
He stopped trying to persuade him. Sect Leader Xun next to him looked at Tian Lin appreciatively, then sighed and said:
"Xue En is also an unparalleled genius. If he was the one who invited the Yue Sect to be the sect leader, I don't know what the Jade Dragon Continent is like now."
Elder Xiao shook his head: "Xue En can become an outer disciple from a handyman disciple by climbing Tao Mountain. His talent is naturally good. But he is not an inner disciple after all——
Even if Xing Tongtian can't be the leader, Liu Xuanfeng should be the one to take the position, and it's not Xue En's turn. "
"Besides, even if he becomes the leader, he can't change the current situation of depleted resources. If you want to find a way out of the golden elixir, you still have to rely on cultivating blood energy."
After Elder Xiao finished speaking, Sect Master Xun suddenly said: "I wonder what Junior Brother Liu's plan is?"
Elder Xiao shook his head and said: "I really don't know what his plan is. He has been drunk and dreaming in the sect for decades, and I thought he gave up on the path to the golden elixir.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xing Tongtian made a move, he would run away with his little Taoist boy and his beautiful concubine.
If that's all, I don't understand why he came back to find Xing Shanping. "
Sect Leader Xun then said: "I do know a little about this - after I beat Xue En that day, I went to Wenxin Sect as a guest. I heard from Headmaster Zhou of Wenxin Sect that Xing Shanping was the chosen one chosen by Junior Brother Liu."
Tian Lin, who had been eating, still didn't speak. He was a little sensitive to the word "chosen person".
Sure enough, Elder Xiao glanced at Tian Lin, and then looked at Sect Leader Xun:
"I remember that the Heart-Questing Stone from the Wenxin Sect has been broken, right? Xing Shanping, can you be the chosen person of the Wenxin Sect?"
