Chapter 170 Soul Cultivation

Tian Lin said that he wanted Cui'er to go there immediately, but in fact, he waited until dawn before Cui'er went to Zhong'er in tears.

When Zhong Er heard that Cui Er was going to plead guilty, she was so frightened that her face turned pale.

She angrily said to Cui'er: "It was you who begged me in the first place, so I took the risk to help you steal the Buddha-Demon Freedom Skill. Now that you're going to plead guilty, aren't you dragging me down?"

Cui'er said: "Just tell your master that I stole the Buddha-Devil Self-Restraint Skill, so you don't know about it."

"What about your master?"

"It was my own intention to steal the Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill that day. This matter has nothing to do with my master."

Cui'er understood that Tian Lin wanted to take the blame on her, and she was ready to die.

Anyway, as servants, they have been told to be loyal to the Tong family and their master since they entered the mansion——

She knew from a very young age that she and her sister were destined to one day defend their master from a knife.

"This matter really has nothing to do with your master?"

Zhong'er didn't believe it, so he heard Cui'er say:

"If I hadn't made my own decision, my master wouldn't be angry, let alone take the initiative to reveal this matter."

There was some truth in what she said, and coupled with her vow, Zhong Er actually believed it.

The matter involved him, Zhong Er said angrily: "You are serious, there is no Buddha and Demon Pill, what are you doing to steal the Buddha and Demon Freedom Kung Fu?

Your master is also a pedantic person - if he knows about this matter himself, forget it, he is unaware of it, so why bother to make a fuss about it? "

Cui'er didn't say anything, and Zhong'er also knew that he couldn't stop Cui'er.

She repeatedly warned Cui'er not to betray her, and then Cui'er saw Master Long who had just come out of the alchemy room.

Master Long Dan seemed to have not taken a shower for several days. Except for the precious clothes on his body which were not stained by dust due to the material, his whole body was oily and his hair was disheveled.

I think he has a foundation-building cultivation, so logically he shouldn't have so much dirt.

Cui'er guessed that Master Long Dan probably hadn't bathed or cleansed his face for more than a year, otherwise it would be difficult to have such an effect.

But she doesn't find such Long Alchemy Masters annoying. On the contrary, it's people like Tian Lin who take baths every day but have no skills that make people look down on her from the bottom of their hearts.

"You said you stole my Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill?"

Master Long Alchemist frowned, looked at Zhong Er angrily and said, "Zhong Er, didn't I tell you to take good care of the Buddha and Demon Freedom Kung Fu?"

Zhong Er immediately knelt down and said:

"Master Rong Bing, at that time you asked me to watch out for Master Tian and not let him steal my Buddha and Demon Self-Restraint Skill. My maid was only guarding against Master Tian. Who would have thought that she would be betrayed by this cheap maid Cui'er? Stolen."

Master Long thought carefully and found out that he did ask Zhong'er to guard against 'Fellow Daoist Tian' at that time, and he did not ask her to guard against Cui'er, Yu'er, Zhui'er or anything like that.

So it seems that Zhong Er is really not to blame for this matter?

He had been getting along with Zhong Er for many years, and he was extremely generous to Zhong Er, and he found a good reason for Zhong Er in a blink of an eye.

When he looked at Cui'er again, his eyes became much sharper:

"Do you know how taboo it is to steal someone's skills? This is a mortal enemy."

Zhong'er was afraid that Cui'er would be forced to betray her in order to survive, so she immediately begged for mercy:

"I don't know what I know. Cui'er stole the Buddha and Demon Freedom Kung Fu for her master. But who would have thought that Mr. Tian Dao wouldn't understand her painstaking efforts and would kill her with a stick."

Master Long Alchemist heard this and said, "What do you mean, she stole my things and you still want me to intercede on her behalf?"

Tian Lin didn't know what was going on in the yard next door. He was sitting on a chair in the main room with a tea cup in his hand.

Yu'er on the side frowned slightly, not hiding her concern for her sister at all.

Just when she wanted to open her mouth to speak, Tian Lin suddenly stood up from the stool.

Not long after, the cook opened the door and Master Long Alchemist walked in, followed by Cui'er and Zhong'er.

With anger on his face, Tian Lin glanced at Cui'er behind Master Long Alchemy, and then bowed to Master Long to apologize:

"Tian's poor discipline led to a thief. Don't worry, Brother Daoist Long, if Tian doesn't give you an explanation, how can he stay in Pingyang City and be your neighbor?"

He didn't plan to kill Cui'er and was ready to pay the spiritual stones in installments.

It’s just that if Master Long Dan opened his mouth, Tian Lin would not agree.

"Humph, you also know that it was your fault in discipline, but now you are blaming all the blame on a girl, you don't feel ashamed."

Master Long Alchemist snorted coldly, and Tian Lin asked him, "How about fellow Taoist Master Long?"

Master Long Alchemy said: "In my opinion, although this girl has made mistakes, she is rarely loyal to her master. Fellow Daoist Tian should not punish her, but reward her."

Tian Lin frowned, wondering what kind of medicine Master Long Alchemist was selling in his gourd: "Let me reward her?"

"You, my maid, stole my Buddha-Demon Freedom Skill. I think she has already shown it to you, right? You got a magical power for nothing, shouldn't you reward her?"

Tian Lin glanced at Cui'er behind Master Long, wondering what kind of ecstasy soup she had given to Long.

On the other hand, Zhong Er, who was behind Master Long Alchemy, puffed out her chest proudly and looked quite proud.

"She made such a big mistake. Do you think Fellow Daoist Master Long wants me to let her go easily? If this gets out, others will laugh at me for not knowing the rules."

Tian Lin said tentatively, how could Master Long Alchemy have the patience to play tricks on Tian Lin?

He said: "I won't pursue this matter anymore. Who would come here to pursue it when they are full? In short, I am begging for your maid, please let her go for my sake."

If you feel that Long is not so honorable, Long can give you the elixir. How about you transfer Cui'er to me? "

Tian Lin didn't expect that Master Long Dan not only didn't ask him to pay compensation, but also planned to spend money to buy Cui'er.

He flatly refused: "Master Long begged for mercy on her behalf. Of course I have to give Master Long face. But she is a maid given to me by the Tong family. How can I resell her?"

After saying this, Tian Lin angrily scolded Cui'er and said, "I originally wanted to kill you to prove my innocence and family tradition. But since Master Long has interceded for you, why haven't you thanked Master Long yet?"

Over there, Cui'er walked out from behind Master Long Alchemy, knelt down and kowtowed to Master Long Alchemy to thank him. Even Yu'er also stepped forward and kowtowed to Master Long Alchemy.

Master Long Dan enjoys others' gratitude to him and feels a sense of accomplishment after saving someone's life.

He stroked his beard and waved his hand calmly: "I am not saving you because I want your gratitude."

Then he and Tian Lin cupped their hands and said: "Long is anxious to refine the elixir. He has been delayed for too long now, so he won't stay here for a long time."

Tian Lin sent his master and servant out of the house, then turned around and looked at each other with Yu'er.

He first sent Cui'er back to her own room, and then said to Yu'er: "Do you think this Dragon Alchemist has any conspiracy?"

Yu'er said: "Alchemist Long is obsessed with alchemy and never thinks about people or things other than alchemy. Perhaps in the eyes of the master, Buddha and Demon Self-Freedom is a big thing, but in his eyes, it is a small thing that delays his alchemy. Woolen cloth."

Tian Lin said: "No matter how obsessed you are with alchemy, you shouldn't be so generous and selfless, right? Is there really such a good person in this world?"

Tian Lin couldn't believe it.

But from now on, I am no longer afraid of people asking about the origin of the Buddha-Devil Self-Restraint Kung Fu, nor are I afraid of being questioned.

Tian Lin thought for a while and took out two middle-grade spiritual stones from his storage bag:

"Master Long Dan wants me to give Cui'er two middle-grade spiritual stones, one for each of you and her."

Yu'er hurriedly knelt down and said, "It was Cui'er who made the mistake first. Master, just don't punish her. There is no need to reward her with spiritual stones."

"I asked her to go to Master Long Alchemy to plead guilty, which was to punish her. She helped me obtain the Buddha and Demon Self-Restraint Skill in a legitimate way, which is a credit to her.

Speaking of which, giving her a middle-grade spiritual stone was too stingy. It's just that I urgently need spiritual stones now, so I can't spare any. "

Two middle-grade spiritual stones are exchanged for a copy of Buddha and Demon Freedom Skill. This transaction can be said to be a huge profit.

But in Yu'er's eyes, Tianlin had been fishing for many days and could only get twenty-six low-grade spiritual stones.

She guessed that even if Tian Lin had accumulated some wealth, it might not be too much.

In addition, Tian Lin is such a stingy person, and he can give two middle-grade spiritual stones as a reward, which already shows Tian Lin's generosity.

Yu'er quickly thanked Tian Lin and went out to arrange breakfast.

Tian Lin ate some Shuiling rice and left the house to go to Shenxiantang.

The sun was shining high at this time, but Shenxiantang was already shrouded in heavy fog.

Tian Lin was startled and asked Zhang Xiaoke: "It's only been one night, and the fog has already spread here?"

Zhang Xiaoke's face was also a little ugly, and he said with a sad look:

"Yesterday, several of our crews followed Feng Zongfeng to the distant sea and lost several lives."

Tian Lin asked him: "Can we find out where this fog comes from and what is in the fog?"

Zhang Xiaoke said: "This fog comes from the south and has covered most of Shenxian Pond. And in this fog, there are still resentful souls -

Our fishermen who are sick and dying are all hurt by these resentful spirits. It's a pity that the resentful soul can only be seen with spiritual consciousness, and the Qi Refiner cannot release his spiritual consciousness.

So even if you know there are resentful spirits in the fog, you can't prevent them. "

Tian Lin heard this and looked at several fishing boats on the sea.

If he was not mistaken, there were some Qigong practitioners on the fishing boats on the sea.

Zhang Xiaoke saw the doubts in Tian Lin's heart and said: "Those are soul cultivators. Like the blood cultists, they are also notorious existences."

Tian Lin said in surprise: "Blood Cult? I seem to have heard of this name."

Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed: "Senior, I don't know. Blood cultists were still active thousands of years ago. Later, for some reason, they offended a Taoist named Huang Ping'an——

This Huang Ping'an was originally just an outer disciple of the Taoist Sect, but his cultivation reached the Golden Core realm. It was this powerful Jindan man who led the Taoist sect and wiped out the blood cultists in the entire Tiannan and Tianbei counties.

Since then, no blood cultists have been born in Tianbei County. "

Tian Lin listened a little silently, suspecting that after Patriarch Yao Yue came ashore, he directly betrayed his "former sect members" in Tianbei County in order to clear his identity.

"Since Soul Cultivators are as notorious as Blood Cultists, why don't people attack them?"

After Tian Lin asked, Zhang Xiaoke said: "The Immortal Sect has been encircling and suppressing the Blood Cult for many years, but only Senior Huang has managed to do so.

Soul cultivation is no worse than that of blood cultists, and there are also people in the Immortal Sect who practice the spell of sealing souls and seizing souls. How can those immortal sect elders chop off their own heads? "
