Chapter 86: Gong Qing is a bit panicked! The Dragon-Tiger Golden Core Method

Gong Qing had never met Lin Xuan before, but he knew about the last operation by the All-Truth Sect; or rather, having just joined the All-Truth Sect at the time, Gong Qing had intended to gamble against the experts of the All-Truth Sect after learning about certain matters.

To gamble with his own life.

As it turned out, they happened to meet.

Although he did not participate in the All-Truth Sect's operation against White Cloud Temple afterward, he was very clear about what happened that time.

He knew even better what the All-Truth Sect members who fled White Cloud Temple had encountered back then.

Natural disasters were everywhere, and all sorts of dangers caused heavy losses to those who escaped.

As for exactly how many people were killed or injured, no one knew.

In any case, of those who participated in that event, apart from a few experts, most others either died at Baiyun Guan or went missing.

Gong Qing had not feared Lin Xuan before; he was merely curious.

But now, Lin Xuan's seemingly pointed words made Gong Qing's scalp tingle.

Though not old, his ability to disguise himself was truly remarkable.

Even when spoken to like this by Lin Xuan, Gong Qing's expression still did not reveal any flaws.

"Does Daoist feel that a junior like me has the potential to become a Tianshi?"

Zhang Lingyu was very surprised by Lin Xuan's words; he carefully sized up Xiao Yuzi, recalled the situation after Xiao Yuzi went up the mountain, and it seemed there was nothing special.

But he was also clear about Lin Xuan's abilities; could it be that there was some unseen potential in this Xiao Yuzi?

"Becoming a Tianshi is likely impossible, but that doesn't conflict with becoming the head of a sect."

As Lin Xuan said this, he sized up Xiao Yuzi a few more times and then did not continue speaking.

Gong Qing's heart and mind were shaken.

Now he could basically confirm that Lin Xuan knew his identity.

Gong Qing felt that an existence like Lin Xuan would not shoot without a target.

Then what was this?

A warning?

As he was now, he likely wouldn't be able to survive a single move at Lin Xuan's hands.

Why not just expose him directly?

Gong Qing felt heavy-hearted, but his face still did not show the slightest bit of it.

Before long, Zhang Lingyu led Lin Xuan and the others to meet Lao Tianshi.

"Ho!"

Upon seeing Lin Xuan, Lao Tianshi's pupils dilated slightly.

After looking carefully for a few moments, he exclaimed aloud.

"At your level of strength, you actually still have such a speed of progress?"

Lao Tianshi wore an expression as if looking at an alien.

"It is merely the merit of our Quanzhen cultivation method; I just need to cultivate step by step."

Lin Xuan smiled upon hearing this, then performed a salute.

"This junior greets Tianshi, greets Senior!"

"Cultivating step by step? Why can't others do it?"

As he spoke, Lao Tianshi waved his hand, "Don't be so formal; with your brain, you have likely guessed the reason the old Daoist invited you here."

Tianshi did not dawdle, raising his finger to point at Tian Jinzhong.

"Decades ago, Junior Brother Jinzhong went down the mountain and encountered an ambush; his hands and feet were destroyed by others, and his meridians were also severed."

Tianshi spoke, his tone heavy.

Gong Qing and Zhang Lingyu stood to one side without a word.

"I also heard from Lingyu about the matter at Baiyun Guan before, but you went into seclusion for four years, so naturally, I did not want to disturb you."

"So you came to take a look this time?"

"So it was about this."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly and glanced at Tian Jinzhong.

"If it is not possible, there is no need to force it."

Tian Jinzhong sighed.

As he spoke, Tian Jinzhong raised his hand, and Gong Qing hurriedly stepped forward to help Tian Jinzhong lift the wide sleeve of his Daoist Robe.

After Lin Xuan sized it up for a few moments, he raised his right hand, and a cyan-green electric arc lit up at his fingertip.

The gazes of Tianshi and the others fell upon this electric arc.

"Is this the Yimu Divine Thunder?"

Feeling this peculiar thunder technique, Tianshi's face was full of amazement.

Within the destruction lay boundless vitality; he could clearly feel this kind of power.

Lin Xuan did not answer; he shot the electric arc from his fingertip, and it landed directly on Tian Jinzhong's severed left hand.

Tian Jinzhong let out a muffled groan, feeling the sensation of the electric arc traveling through his body.

"Hmm?"

Lin Xuan frowned slightly.

"It won't work?"

Tianshi, who had been watching Lin Xuan's expression, saw Lin Xuan frown and hurriedly asked.

"It's not that it won't work, it just requires time. The matter with Senior Lu last time was different; although the eyeball was delicate, the energy required for regeneration was not much, and Senior Lu has cultivated for many years, so his own spirit and Qi were full."

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly and explained the current situation to Lao Tianshi.

"Lv Ci has indeed cultivated for a hundred years, and his own Ruyi Force is also quite extraordinary."

Lao Tianshi nodded; he still understood Lv Ci very well.

"That is the case, but although this senior has Qi within his body, unfortunately, his meridians are severed and cannot form a self-contained cycle; to regrow his limbs, the severed meridians must first be reconnected."

Lin Xuan said, frowning slightly.

"If it cannot be done, then forget it!"

Tian Jinzhong spoke up immediately upon hearing this.

"Junior brother, didn't we agree on this?"

Lao Tianshi glared upon hearing this, then looked at Lin Xuan.

"You just said it requires time, not that it's impossible, right?"

"Mm, it does indeed require time."

"Then spend some time; of course, our Longhu Mountain will not let you act in vain."

Lao Tianshi spoke up as soon as he heard this, and directly stated the reward.

He roughly mentioned some of the martial arts and Art of Techniques collected by Longhu Mountain.

"Longhu Golden Elixir?"

At first, Lin Xuan didn't pay much attention; even without this, if he could help, he naturally wouldn't be stingy.

However, when Lao Tianshi mentioned the Longhu Golden Elixir, Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.

"It is said that back then, the Longhu Tianshi became a terrestrial Immortal after consuming the Longhu Golden Elixir; could it be this?"

Zhang Lingyu, Gong Qing, and Tian Jinzhong all had strange expressions.

"You also said it is a legend, but the Longhu Golden Elixir is actually a cultivation method that cultivates both internal and external, harmonizing Yin and Yang; come to think of it, it can be considered a cultivation method that practices both internal and Outer Elixir."

Among them, the external aspect requires the assistance of Great Medicine.

It is just that the Longhu Golden Elixir Method has been passed down for so many years that it has indeed become somewhat ethereal, and the Great Medicine required for external assistance needs many Heaven and Earth Treasures to prepare and refine."

Lao Tianshi did not hide anything and recounted the details of the Longhu Golden Elixir.

"This is actually somewhat interesting."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"So you have your eye on this?"

Hearing Lin Xuan say this, Lao Tianshi put away his serious expression and replaced it with a smiling one.

"I am indeed somewhat interested; my master's master is getting old and probably won't last past this year, so I have been thinking of ways to extend his life recently."

Lin Xuan said softly.

"Extend life?"

Lao Tianshi was stunned, "Lifespan is fixed; it is not easy to extend it."

He was truly surprised.

If one's own cultivation is sufficient, lifespan can indeed be extended.

Fang Dongtian's cultivation is not weak, but living over a hundred years is already quite good.

To want to extend life on top of that, the difficulty is too great.

However, seeing Lin Xuan's expression, he felt quite moved in his heart.

Baiyun Guan has truly had a stroke of great luck.

"It is indeed not easy, but one must always try; this Longhu Golden Elixir Method might be of some use, so I would like to take a look; of course, I will also do my best for the senior here.

As for exactly how long it will take, I cannot say for sure right now."

Lin Xuan looked at Tian Jinzhong and said earnestly.

"That is fine, just do your best."

As long as Lin Xuan agreed, that was enough; as for the time required, Lao Tianshi did not mind.

"Lingyu, go and organize all the records related to the Longhu Golden Elixir." Lao Tianshi turned his head and gave the instruction.

"Yes, Master!"
