Chapter 49: Secret Talk of the Quanxing! The Two Heroes, Ding Jiao'an

Even with all their extensive knowledge and experience, neither Lao Tianshi nor Lu Jin had ever seen a Practitioner who had truly cultivated an Inner Elixir.

At most, they could only grasp a tiny glimpse from those legendary records.

But those records were all far too mystical.

In fact, descriptions like "Land Immortal" were already considered quite conservative.

Actually, what Lao Tianshi found most strange was that there was no sense of anything amiss after cultivating the Inner Elixir.

Could it be that a Practitioner who cultivates an Inner Elixir can break through some kind of limitation?

"That's right, you're absolutely right!"

The longer they spend on cultivation, the more clearly they see the essence of cultivation.

As for young people, they focus their gaze more on techniques.

For example, lightning methods, talismans, or even physical combat skills.

Instead, they do not value Life and Nature Cultivation as much.

This is the difference between Dao and technique.

Although Dao and technique are often spoken of together.

But Life and Nature Cultivation is the Dao, while other means are techniques.

If the foundation is solid enough, it can naturally support a skyscraper.

In fact, Lu Jin had seen this clearly at his own birthday banquet.

Now that Lao Tianshi brought it up, Lu Jin naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

"But this time, I can say that none of my disciples could even last a single round."

Speaking of this, Lao Tianshi also felt a bit worried.

"Why worry about those things? Tianshi, we are both getting old, and it's time to know our fate. Since that's the case, as for how the juniors develop, we can at most offer guidance; as for the future, it depends on their own fortunes."

Hearing this, Lu Jin actually began to persuade him.

"I don't need your persuasion!"

Lao Tianshi's tone was strange.

"You, you really are... *cough cough* Lu Dongbin."

Lu Jin was furious and hung up the phone in anger.

Listening to the busy signal on the phone, Lao Tianshi put the phone away and shook his head.

This old Lu really can't take a joke.

……

Just as Lin Xuan, the two Snake Immortals, and Fang Dongtian returned to Baiyun Guan, news about Lin Xuan completely fermented in the Outsider world.

Among it, what received the most attention and spread the fastest and widest was naturally the matter of Lin Xuan doing nothing at all and simply making people suffer extreme misfortune.

Wang Bing and Wang Ai of the Wang Family, as the victims, also made quite a scene this time.

Of course, for the Wang Family, they certainly didn't want to be in the spotlight like this.

But there was no help for it; things had reached this point.

In any case, those ordinary Outsiders were quite happy to see Wang Ai, one of the Ten Elders, get humbled.

Especially since he was truly humbled this time, everyone was naturally happy to share and spread the news.

However, this news also caught the attention of some interested parties.

Other Outsider factions might feel curious, but they wouldn't have any ideas.

But certain people who act without restraint would naturally want to see for themselves.

For example, the Quanxing.

"What an interesting ability, what do you all think?"

A pink-haired girl wearing a midriff-baring pink T-shirt and denim hot pants rubbed her lips with her index finger and said softly.

This voice alone was enough to make a man react.

But the members of the Quanxing, who knew the girl's ability was bizarre, all kept a great distance from her, staring at the pink-haired girl with guarded expressions.

"Xia He, stop being a flirt. If you want to go see, go ahead, but Baiyun Guan isn't a place you can just go to whenever you want."

A middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance said with an unkind tone.

"I didn't say I was going. I'm just curious, just wanting to see if anyone wants to go and try."

Xia He chuckled, glanced at the woman who spoke, and her tone didn't change.

"If you ask me, going to take a look isn't impossible. I don't know if you've heard, but the moment that kid from Baiyun Guan made a move, it was an eight-hundred-year-old Ginseng. That is a Heaven and Earth Treasure."

The person speaking was wearing an old-fashioned Zhongshan suit, looked to be fifty or sixty years old, and a big fat man was standing behind him.

"Eight hundred years? What kind of bragging is that? If it's real, I'll do whatever you tell me to do. That's a Heaven and Earth Treasure!"

The person speaking wore a bamboo hat, leaned against a tree, and held a mourning staff in his hand.

"I'm not sure if this news is true or false, but it's being told with such vivid detail. What if it's real?" Yuan Tao bared his teeth and sneered.

Then many people's eyes flickered; they were clearly tempted.

Although these Heaven and Earth Treasures aren't like in the stories where eating them can instantly increase one's power, if such good things are paired with the right medicinal herbs, perhaps they could really make cultivation faster.

Even if it's just a little faster, that's enough.

"But the Ginseng is already in the hands of the Lu Family. Do you want to go and test if the old man of the Lu Family has hard fists?"

Tu Junfang of the San Shi twitched his mouth and said.

Then a group of people looked at each other.

And then they all stopped talking.

"Maybe, maybe Baiyun Guan has even better things. Baiyun Guan doesn't need to suck up to the Lu Family. They gave away an eight-hundred-year-old one, so maybe this Baiyun Guan has ones over a thousand years old."

Xia He chuckled and said.

"What did you think it was? Even iron would have crumbled into dust after a thousand years; medicinal herbs growing for a thousand years?"

Moreover, this kind of medicinal herb is inherently very easy to attract all sorts of snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

Ones that are a few decades old are hard to come by, those over a hundred years old are rare, and as for anything with a higher age, one rarely even hears of them.

"A bunch of cowards!"

An old man who looked decrepit stared at a group of people, hopping mad and cursing.

"If this were in the past, those brats would have already charged up the mountain."

"Xia Liuqing, stop acting like an elder to bully others."

Seeing the hopping old man, someone became displeased.

People like them did not care about things like status or hierarchy.

"I'll smash your head in!"

Xia Liuqing was furious and looked in the direction the voice came from.

"Calm down, calm down, Elder Xia!"

A child who looked only twelve or thirteen years old hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Xia Liuqing did not seem to have any intention of actually fighting, so he took the opportunity to back down.

"Fine, let's not talk about medicinal herbs; I heard that one of the Ten Elders, Na Ruhu, commented on that Lin Xuan from Baiyun Guan, saying something about him not being inferior to himself."

Yuan Tao spoke up again.

Then, there was a moment of silence.

Everyone's gaze turned toward one direction.

A young man with short hair was leaning against a tree, appearing indifferent to what everyone was discussing.

His clothes were tight on his body, and his figure was tall and upright, possessing a great sense of power.

At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yuan Tao, who was speaking.

One of the Two Heroes, Ding Daoan.

"Speaking of which, Ding Daoan, you fellow went to learn arts at Quanzhen, right?"

Seeing Ding Daoan look over, Yuan Tao chuckled and said.

Ding Daoan had extremely high talent and was known alongside Na Ruhu as the Two Heroes.

But unlike Na Ruhu, Ding Daoan truly learned the arts of a hundred schools.

He had also learned some things at Quanzhen; of course, it was just the basics.

After all, Ding Daoan never truly joined Quanzhen.

"What are you trying to say?"

"You don't know this Lin Xuan?"

"When I was learning arts, he hadn't even entered Baiyun Guan yet."

Ding Daoan said.

"Then don't you want to see for yourself? You should care quite a bit about Na Ruhu's evaluation, right?"

Ding Daoan looked at Yuan Tao, while the other Quanxing members looked at Ding Daoan.

Subsequently, Ding Daoan nodded.

"Fine, then you had better not disturb me."

After saying this, Ding Daoan turned and walked away.

The others looked at each other in dismay.

Is this guy really going?
