Chapter 012 – Immortal Talisman
Over the past month, almost all of the named disciples have gotten to know Wang Lin, and when they see him, they all show a superior expression and use vicious language to be sarcastic.
Wang Lin ignored this, he knew that these named disciples were all twisted and perverted in their hearts, when he didn’t come, these people were at the bottom of the sect, and the suffering they endured couldn’t be vented, and now that he’s here, he undoubtedly has a lower status than the named disciples by committing suicide to get into the sect, and so he’s become an object that everyone can bully.
He laughed coldly in his heart, knowing that this kind of thing is not something that can be solved by resisting, the strongest within the sect are honored, and those named disciples who entered earlier than him are all physically strong, and some of them have even learned some simple immortal laws, if he resists, the one who suffers will definitely be him.
However, Wang Lin wasn’t that kind of soft persimmon character, he kept all the sneering faces in his mind and waited for his strength to increase to return them one by one.
With this thought, he was as deaf and blind, no matter what others said, he still did what he wanted to do, and every day, besides picking water, he secretly studied the mysterious beads.
He tried to use all kinds of liquids to soak the beads, spring water, dew, sweat, and even blood were used, and finally found that among these, dew is still the most effective.
However, there is a difference between dew, the dew that appears on the stone bead in the early morning is the most effective, the dew at night is the second most effective, and if the dew is collected from other objects to soak the bead, the effect is even worse.
By analogy, it was spring water, and the least effective was blood and sweat, which was almost half-effective.
In order not to draw attention to himself, he had found several small wild gourds in the mountains, and after emptying the seeds inside, he had used them to hold different kinds of dew.
These gourds he did not bring in the body, but to find a remote place, divided into different positions deeply buried in the ground, in addition to the daily collection out, never take back to the sect.
What he carried with him was a gourd filled with spring water, and when he drank a few mouthfuls when he was tired, he was immediately refreshed.
In addition, Wang Lin also found a strange phenomenon, that is, whenever the night or early in the morning when the stone beads on the emergence of dew, often the bead surface seems to be water beads, but the actual collection will have a large part of the dew inexplicably disappeared, at most, leaving less than one tenth.
For this strange phenomenon, Wang Lin could only summarize it as the dew being absorbed by the beads, although this explanation was a bit absurd, but apart from this, Wang Lin really couldn’t think of any other answer.
At dusk that day, Wang Lin poured the remaining three tanks of water and said to the yellow-clothed youth who was meditating and practicing, “Senior brother Liu, I’m going to go home and won’t be coming over tomorrow.”
The youth surnamed Liu rolled his eyes, swept a glance at Wang Lin, and let out a “hmm” through his nose.
Wang Lin didn’t care, he learned from Zhang Hu that named disciples could have three chances to go home to visit their families every year, and could apply to an elder surnamed Sun at any time and ask for an immortal talisman that allowed them to come and go as they pleased and show off their sect’s immortal techniques.
Wang Lin remembered that his father’s birthday was coming up, so he said he had to go back, so he left the miscellaneous affairs office and headed towards the elders who specialized in registered disciples.
The Hengyue Sect was divided into five subs, one main and six courtyards, and the five subs were gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, each with their own named disciples living in them. Inner disciples and elders, most of them live in the main courtyard, usually picking water, he had also watched this place from afar, his heart was full of envy, this time, after coming here, he carefully surveyed, stood outside the door of the main courtyard and said in a loud voice: “Named disciple Wang Lin, seeks to see Elder Sun.”
A young man dressed in white clothes waddled out of the main courtyard, glanced at Wang Lin, and said with a condescending expression, “You’re Wang Lin?”
Seeing that the other party was dressed in white, Wang Lin inwardly Bing and nodded.
He now knew that all disciples of the Hengyue Sect were divided into clothing colors according to rank. Named disciples were divided into gray clothes and yellow clothes, where yellow clothes represented the qualification to cultivate immortal techniques. The inner disciples, on the other hand, had their clothes divided into purple, black, white, and red according to their respective strengths, from high to low.
The corner of the white clothed youth’s mouth turned away and coldly swept Wang Lin’s eyes as he turned around and walked towards the courtyard, Wang Lin was expressionless and paced to follow.
Walking within the main courtyard, it wasn’t long before he was brought to a garden where flowers and plants were planted, and the white-clothed youth lazily said, “Uncle Sun, a registered disciple has come to look for you.”
After saying that, he stood aside carelessly.
An old voice, came from the garden, “You go down, the registered disciple comes in.”
The white-clothed youth laughed lightly and excused himself.
Wang Lin was nervous inside, pushed open the garden door, just as he walked in, a strong medicinal scent hit his face, Wang Lin was stunned, looked back at the garden door, wondering in his heart that it was only a door away, why did he not smell any medicinal scent at all outside.
“What are you doing there, why don’t you report your name?” The voice revealed dissatisfaction, coming from a room in a corner of the garden.
Wang Lin hurriedly and respectfully said, “Disciple Wang Lin, I pay my respects to Elder Sun, my father’s birthday is tomorrow, and I would like to go home.”
“Your name is Wang Lin? So it’s you, humph, people who cultivate Immortals are concerned about cutting off the mortal dust, if you’re so attached to the mundane world, you should never think of stepping into the Immortal Sect in your life!” The old voice reprimanded.
Wang Lin frowned and couldn’t help but say, “I didn’t learn any immortal techniques, how can I be considered an immortal cultivator?”
The other party was silent for a while, and after a long time, he impatiently said, “The deadline is three days, go and come back quickly, this is a Thousand Mile Charm that can be used twice, sticking it on your leg will increase your speed greatly.” After saying this, a seemingly bland yellow paper floated out from the window of the room and gently landed at Wang Lin’s feet.
Wang Lin picked it up and placed it in his arms, he knew from Zhang Hu that all the registered disciples who went out to visit their families would be given such an immortal talisman, the purpose of the Heng Yue sect was very simple, borrowing these disciples who went home to visit their families to show off their immortal spells, attracting more children to come for the initiation test.
This immortal talisman is in fact to put it bluntly very poor quality, only one advantage is the use of simple, each time as long as in the leg a paste, can be used. For mortals it can increase speed.
However, there are many people in the inner disciples who are keen to accumulate, it is said that it can be used in the outside world’s trade fairs in exchange for some things, they are these named disciples, even more one by one, such as a treasure, some are even more reluctant to use, under the guise of visiting relatives to accumulate a lot of reasons.
Walking out of the main courtyard, Wang Lin pondered for a little while, walked towards his residence, packed up his luggage in his room, said goodbye to Zhang Hu, and he went down the mountain.
At this time, the sky was bright with stars, Wang Lin had planned to leave tomorrow, but he couldn’t feel the speed after using the immortal talisman, and was afraid of delaying his father’s birthday, so he prepared to rush all night.
Not long after Wang Lin left, in the main courtyard, Elder Sun pushed open the door of the room, was about to collect some herbs, suddenly his face was stunned, staring at the location near the garden door, where several branches of blue line grass planted, actually all withered.
