Chapter 450

~13 min read 2,414 words

Fengshan was still a boundless sea of clouds.

The colored civet cat and Little Ruyi sat squatting in front of the Daoist temple, only one sat on the ground, and the other sat on a small stool less than a palm high, looking side by side into the depths of the sea of clouds.

Suddenly, the Daoist boy stretched out his hand and pointed into the distance.

Two birds, one white and one black, flew out.

The white one was a white egret, snow-white all over, and the black one was a crow, colorful and variegated.

"Poof..."

The white egret and the crow transformed into a person and a fox.

The colored civet immediately rushed over.

Only this time, it did not play or dance with it.

All because the fox's fur was messy, and there were a few shallow wounds; it leaned over to take a look and immediately began to lick them diligently and earnestly.

"Third Shixiong Uncle~"

Ziyun became honest and well-behaved, bowing to him in a proper manner.

"Good."

Lin Jue's hair had also fallen out in a clump, his clothes were torn in several places, and he handed her a candied hawthorn: "I bought it for you on the way back."

"Thank you, Third Shixiong Uncle..."

Little Ruyi took it with both hands, her expression serious.

Lin Jue walked toward the room.

The junior sister was naturally still lying on the bed.

Seeing her senior brother's appearance, she knew that the Yushan just now must have been earth-shattering, so she shook her head:

"Third Shixiong brother, you were impulsive."

"It's rare to be impulsive once." Lin Jue said, "Otherwise, if the senior brothers found out, they would blame me."

"I wouldn't tell them!"

"If I had returned a while later, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known either, right?"

"Just a small injury."

At this moment, she was exactly the same as before.

In the past, when she was building roads on the mountain, because the roads were mostly on cliffs and precipices, there were thunderstorms in summer and ice and snow in winter, which were very slippery, and there were often strong winds on the mountain, plus she liked to go to the edge of the cliffs to pick herbs; in her years of cultivation, she didn't know how many times she had fallen off the cliffs, and every time she walked back as if nothing had happened; if the senior brothers and master could see it, they would know, and if they couldn't see it, they would never know.

Seeing the junior sister shaking her head and saying: "The Yushan Daoist indeed gave me a difficult problem, but I also had a reason that I had to go, even without them, I would have had to go."

"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion with them. That is the Yushan Daoist temple, and I can't do anything to them in the capital."

"That tiger demon is a yaoguai ghost; after the yaoguai dies, it becomes a ghost, which is a wisp of remnant soul that escaped when the corpse tiger king of Huizhou was killed and scattered by the Three Sages of the South. I don't know where it was hiding before, but now it should be wanting to make a comeback by borrowing the land of war." The junior sister said, "We have some old grudges with it that must be settled, so I had to go."

"A wisp of remnant soul of the Corpse Tiger King?"

"Exactly."

"So that's how it is."

"That's why I had to go."

"One thing is one thing, the two cannot be confused." Lin Jue was still dissatisfied, "These Yushan Daoists, their Daoist cultivation is not very high, their skills are not very good, but their arrogance in the capital is quite accomplished; they really think Qinzhou is theirs, not at all like people who cultivate in a Daoist temple!"

"They are not ambiguous about subduing demons and eliminating yaoguai."

"That's the only thing." Lin Jue nodded, "Even so, you should have waited for me to return."

"Isn't this waiting for senior brother to return?"

"..."

Lin Jue shook his head and smiled.

He wanted to say, let her wait for him to return before going to eliminate the yaoguai together, while what she thought was to settle this grudge that belonged to them alone first, and then wait for senior brother to return, so that the capital left for senior brother would be a relaxed and easy capital.

"What?"

Lin Jue looked at the quilt she was covering again: "Where are you hurt?"

"All over my body, inside and out, I have injuries, but they have almost grown back."

"Then why can't you get out of bed?"

"I can get out of bed, it's just not that comfortable, it's still growing." The junior sister crossed her fingers and simulated a growing posture, "I was already tough, and after cultivating the Five Elements Spirit Method, it's even harder to be beaten to death. It's just that the bed is warm and it heals faster, so I'm lying in bed."

"Anyway, there are disciples to serve you, right?"

"You should take one too, and experience the feeling of the master and senior brother in the past."

"Don't worry about it." Lin Jue said, "You should heal your injuries quickly. After I return, I will start refining pills. Along the way, although we don't have many enemies, we need you to protect me."

"Refining what pills?"

"Golden Core."

"Then I'll be better soon..."

"Are you taking pills?"

"Yes, refined by the second senior brother."

"That's better than mine."

Lin Jue chatted with her for a few words and then went out.

"Fuyao, you stay here."

"Woo!"

"I'll be back soon." With a poof, the Daoist transformed into a white egret.

In front was the rolling sea of clouds, illuminated by the sun to be snow-white and bright; the white egret flapped its wings and flew away, riding the wind.

Passing through the clouds and mist downward, when the view cleared, a huge square city had already appeared in the white egret's eyes, and the carriages and horses entering and leaving the city gates and the little people in the streets and alleys were clearly visible.

The white egret returned to the small courtyard and transformed into a Daoist.

The mute servant of Master Fan Tian heard the sound and immediately ran over, bowing to him.

"Uncle Zhou, long time no see." Lin Jue returned the salute, "During this time in the capital, is the money still enough?"

The old servant nodded repeatedly.

"I'll put some silver in Master Fan's former room as well; when you need it, just go and take it." Lin Jue said, "At this time, please help me invite Fellow Daoist Wan, Fellow Daoist Tao, Lord Lei, Fellow Daoist Jia, and Lord Cai over for a trip; I have something to ask for their help."

The old servant nodded and immediately went out.

But he didn't expect that Wan Xinrong and the others were gathered in one place, in the courtyard of Fellow Daoist Tao, which was closest to here; as soon as the old servant went, they all came over, and even Fellow Daoist Tao's disciple followed.

!

"Master Lin!" Wan Xinrong said first, "Earlier we heard that you returned and fought the Yushan Daoists on Yushan, and even went to Yushan to look for you, but your Daoist magic was too high, and when we went, Yushan was already just a ruin."

"You have a heart." Lin Jue said, "Thank you."

"This is what we should do!" Wan Xinrong said, "We have also been practicing the magic you taught us before you left, just waiting for the day to repay you."

"Master, what is this today..." Fellow Daoist Tao was puzzled.

"The Yushan Daoists acted too domineeringly, not allowing my junior sister to open a temple and accept disciples in Qinzhou, causing my junior sister to be injured; it was a waste of my time repairing roads for them, and I was angry for a moment, so I went to ask for an explanation."

"Then Master called us here..."

"Don't worry, it's not to let you fight the Yushan Daoists. Their White Purity Palace and our Fuqiu Temple have always been at odds, but they have never made a life-or-death situation; this grudge has just been settled."

Lin Jue smiled at them:

"It's because I'm returning this time to go into seclusion in the capital to refine pills. The pills I'm refining this time are extraordinary; just the seclusion will take a full thousand days. It happens that the world is in chaos and turmoil at this time, and there may be strange phenomena in heaven and earth when refining pills. In the thousand days, there must always be peace, so I want to ask you to protect me. Regardless of the chaos in the world, regardless of whether the capital changes hands, ensure my peace of mind in refining pills."

Everyone did not hesitate and immediately cupped their hands:

"We will definitely do our best!"

"We will protect you with our lives!"

At the same time, they couldn't help but open their eyes wide and look at each other.

It wasn't to exchange opinions, but they all felt surprised.

Refining pills to become an immortal is a truly ancient and romantic rumor, so much so that even today, in this era when the Danding Sect is so declining, the world is still full of rumors about refining pills.

There are also many Jianghu swindlers who still use the method of refining pills to swindle and bluff; whether it is ordinary people, nobles, or even emperors, knowledgeable people are constantly being deceived, which shows how deep the impression of the Dao of pills is in the hearts of the people in this day and age.

What kind of pill is it that even Master Lin values so much?

What kind of pill is it that takes a thousand days to refine?

Ordinary medicine pills in the world, as long as there is a formula and medicinal materials, are very simple to make, and there is no need to use the word "refine", just "make" is enough. The spirit pills refined by Daoists, regardless of the efficacy, many need to be refined for a whole day, and it is also heard that some are refined for a few days; seven days or nine days are considered long. Occasionally, sorcerers refine pills, regardless of whether the pills are true or false, or the efficacy, refining for dozens of days, taking a refined number, claiming forty-nine days or eighty-one days, seeing which one is closer, and saying which one, it sounds good, so it is considered a long time.

What kind of pill needs to be refined for a thousand days?

And there are strange phenomena in heaven and earth...

Some people even guessed that Master Lin left for a few years before, traveling far to the East Sea and the Western Regions, perhaps to find materials for refining pills.

Such pills, I'm afraid they can make you an immortal after eating them?

If Master Lin succeeds in refining pills and ascends to become an immortal, and we protect Master Lin, wouldn't we also be considered protectors of an immortal?

"Master, when will you start refining pills?"

"In about a month, wait for my junior sister's injuries to heal." Lin Jue said, "It just happens to inform you in advance, so that you can be prepared; if you have anything on hand, it won't be so urgent."

"We will definitely handle it!" Wan Xinrong said, "When Master is refining pills, even if the Yushan Daoists come to harass again, or the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun and divine beings descend from the sky, they will have to step over us."

"..."

Lin Jue shook his head.

Yushan is indeed the largest Spirit Method Sect heritage in Qinzhou, but he is not worried about the Yushan Daoists.

For one thing, as he said, the grudge between Yushan and Fuqiu Peak is not something that happened today, but has existed for a long time; I don't know if there is a Daoist meeting recently, if there is, and there is a Dao-discussion platform, I'm afraid the senior brother will have to take his disciples to compete with them, right?

Both sides are famous sects and are well-informed; just like the battle today, although there was a winner and a loser, both sides held back, and the probability of the Yushan Daoists doing such a thing is not high.

Secondly, they just fought today, and both sides should have a bottom line in their hearts about each other's skills.

Finally, there is the junior sister.

This junior sister, from the little Daoist who looked up at the Corpse Tiger King performing magical powers and covering the sky to turn living things into dead things, and was shocked, has cultivated to this day, and unknowingly, she actually dared to go alone to find the remnant soul of that yaoguai king to settle the grudge; I don't know what her skills are, but her courage, even Lin Jue feels a bit ashamed.

As for the Husheng Husheng Zhenjun and divine beings they mentioned...

Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "Sometimes you don't have to rely on brute force, think more, maybe there are other ways to deal with it."

"We will keep it in mind."

"Do not tell outsiders."

Lin Jue said so, looking at Fellow Daoist Tao's disciple.

I remember when I first met him, he was still a young Daoist boy, quite green, his master told him to make tea for Fellow Daoist Fan and Lin Jue, and now he is an adult.

I also remember that when he was in Ziyun County, he also followed his master to fight yaoguai.

"It's been a long time, I'll give you a magic weapon." Lin Jue took out a Hu bow, "This bow was obtained by me from the Western Regions, it can shoot people with an empty bow; if your object-controlling technique is successful, you can use it as an aid."

"Thank you, Master!"

The little Daoist was flattered and took the bow to thank him.

"Everyone, please go back."

Several people left the courtyard, each walking in a hurry, returning home, and starting to prepare.

Lin Jue returned to Fengshan.
