Chapter 214.
Wang Lin’s gaze condensed, Elder Li, Fire Burning Country Luohe Sect disciple …… this now in his heart, a name that existed in his mind a long time ago, suddenly flashed out.
“Impossible ……” Wang Lin inner darkness, which in this world is such a coincidence, the former tender woman, now shifted to become an elder of the Cloud Sky Sect?
Wang Lin dumbly laughed and secretly said that he was overthinking things.
“This Elder Li can be described as a magnificent woman, when she was in the Fire Burning Country in the early years, she had already made a name for herself, and then when the Fire Burning Country was counterattacked by the Xuanwu Country, the entire faction of the Luoha Sect collapsed, and some of the disciples ran and fled, if not, I don’t think Elder Li would have come to the Cloud Sky Sect.” Cheng Xian said with quite a bit of emotion.
Wang Lin nodded and didn’t speak, but continued walking forward.
Cheng Xian blinked and hurriedly followed, hehehe laughed and said, “Senior brother ah, when are we going to the Western Garden?”
Wang Lin looked at the sky and said, “After I pay my respects to my master ancestor, I will go to the Western Garden with you, but as I said before, I don’t know that little girl, I don’t even know her name, so if I can’t get into the Western Garden, then I can only call it quits.”
Cheng Xian was stunned, but with a twinkle in his eye, he immediately laughed, “It’s okay, I know what that little ninny’s name is, when the time comes, you just say you’re looking for her, brother, I believe in my own vision, that little ninny will definitely come out to see you.”
Wang Lin didn’t say anything and walked towards the Southern Court.
Along the way, Cheng Xian’s mouth almost never merged, it could be seen that he was a good talker, some gossip, rumors, and so on about the Cloud Sky Sect, and so on all the information, one after another, came out of his mouth.
This person’s words were vivid. Wang Lin listened, and did not feel bored, just like this. The two of them quickly arrived at the Southern Court along the way.
“To say that this Elder Li, he didn’t come to this sect for a long time. It’s probably just over a hundred years. However, her alchemy skills are excellent. I heard some seniors talk about it. Back then, Elder Li fought with two fifth grade alchemists from the Cloud Sky Sect. In the end, she didn’t lose a single step. He refined one of my Cloud Sky Sect’s three treasures, the Fifth Grade Demon Cultivation Pill.” When speaking of this elixir. Cheng Xian’s face showed a rather envious look.
“Demon Cultivation Pill?” Wang Lin was stunned. The name of this pill was too odd. Could it be that after taking this pill, one could cultivate demons?
Cheng Xian saw Wang Lin’s expression and immediately smiled smugly and said, “Hehe. The name of this pill is indeed odd. When this Dan was first practiced. The Patriarch of the Sect asked Elder Li to name it. Elder Li pondered for a moment and then came up with such a name.
Although the name of this Dan is Cultivating Demons. But what it actually does is not even remotely related to cultivating demons.”
“What is the effect of this Dan?” Wang Lin was a bit strange in his heart. The name of this Dan is called Cultivating Devil, Elder Li, and disciple of the Luohe Sect of the Fire Burning Country……. There seems to be some connection here.
“The efficacy of this Dan, to say that would be a big deal, only, I don’t know what it does.” Cheng Xian shrugged his shoulders and laughed at himself, “With my seniority, how can I know the effects of this Dan, which is one of the three treasures of my Cloud Sky Sect.”
Wang Lin didn’t care, after nodding, the two of them had already arrived outside of the South Court, what was in front of him was a long arched bridge, under the bridge there was actually flowing water, gusts of spiritual qi dispersed from the water, giving a feeling of refreshing one’s heart.
In that flowing water, there were several seven-colored carp, which were swimming leisurely with their tails swinging.
“Actually, there’s also a trail rumor related to the Demon Cultivation Pill, do you want to hear it, brother?” Cheng Xian stopped in front of the bridge and laughed.
“I’m all ears.” Wang Lin’s gaze, followed the arch bridge and looked inward, only to see that the white mist inside, sight was obstructed, couldn’t see too far, could only vaguely see that the carved railings inside, the environment was elegant, rather like the beauty of a peach orchard realm.
“Rumor has it that Elder Li resided in the Sea of Demon Cultivation for a period of time in her early years, and this Demon Cultivation Pill was actually refined for a certain story of her time in the Sea of Demon Cultivation. Of course, this is just a rumor, in fact there are many rumors about Elder Li in the Cloud Sky Sect. I’ll talk to you about it when I have the chance.” Cheng Xian said rather smugly.
After hearing this, Wang Lin looked as normal, his gaze was calm, he cupped his fists to Cheng Xian and took a step towards the arch bridge.
“Brother Wang Lin, you and I are like old friends at first sight, I’ll wait for you here, ah, don’t forget in a while, we still have important things to do.” Cheng Xian shouted in a hurry.
Wang Lin ignored it and walked across the arch bridge.
After entering the South Garden, the fog here is even thicker, it is impossible to see three feet away, if Wang Lin’s original body was here, he would not have seen it in his eyes, he only needed a sweep of his divine sense to find the correct path.
But now, Wang Lin’s body is only at the eighth level of the Qi Condensation Stage, so he can only walk forward slowly.
The deeper he went, the thicker the fog became, and gradually, the line of sight had shrunk from three zhang to one zhang.
At this moment, a disembodied voice, slowly came out from within the mist.
“South court forbidden land, outer court disciples without a token, forbidden to enter!”
Wang Lin stopped in his tracks, looking as normal, and said in a loud voice, “Disciple Wang Lin, I’m here to pay my respects to Master Ancestor Li.”
After that voice was silent for a little while, the fog in front of Wang Lin, suddenly seemed to be lifted by an invisible hand fluctuating in general, all together to both sides of the cloud surging away, revealing a path that can be passed through people, this path is twisted and extends to the depths of the South Garden.
“Follow this path, you can reach Elder Li’s residence, go!” The voice appeared again, this time, Wang Lin had a feeling, it seemed that in the voice, there was a faint sense of envy.
Without saying anything, Wang Lin followed the path. A seemingly indistinct sound of music, Xu Xu from the distance, along with the sound of music, time is not long, he has already come to the end of the path, a body of white jade to build the attic, displayed in front of his eyes.
Following the windows inside the attic, a female figure could be seen sitting inside, this person was seated, in front of her, there was a koto. There was a thin screen on it, so it was hard to see the details.
At the moment Wang Lin approached, a burst of music that sounded like heavenly music came out of the attic, like a small bridge and fine water, blending into the body and mind.
Wang Lin did not say anything, but quietly listened, after a long time, the music gradually disappeared, an elegant and melodious voice, from within the attic: “You are Wang Lin?”
This voice fell on Wang Lin’s ears, he immediately shook his body, his eyes showed an unbelievable color, but soon his eyes regained their calmness, after a little bit of silence, Wang Lin slowly opened his mouth and said, “Exactly!”
His words fell, only to hear “snap” sound, the person in the attic, the hands of the koto suddenly pulled a string, followed by the attic window suddenly opened, revealing a heart-thumping stunning appearance.
Hibiscus like face willow like eyebrow, light as autumn water if jade with light wind, hand like catkin, skin like solid fat, teeth like rhinoceros, cicatrix. If it is a metaphor, it can only be said that this woman has flowers as her face, birds as her voice, the moon as her god, jade as her bones, ice and snow as her skin, autumn water as her posture, and music as her heart.
This woman’s gaze was instantly fixed on Wang Lin, and after looking carefully for a long time, a trace of melancholy appeared between her eyebrows, and she gently fell out of the window, re-blocking that heartwarming appearance.
Wang Lin’s gaze was always as calm as water, as early as the moment the other party just opened his mouth to speak, he recognized the identity of the other party, how could he not expect that after many years, this woman actually became an elder of the Cloud Sky Sect.
Although Wang Lin’s split cultivation was not enough, but his eyesight was sharp, this woman’s cultivation had already reached the early stage of JieDan. If it was placed in other sects, then it would be an incredible thing for a master and disciple to have comparable cultivation levels, but in the Cloud Sky Sect’s inner courtyard, it was not.
The standard by which the inner courtyard measured everything was not cultivation, but the art of alchemy.
Therefore, in the Cloud Sky Sect’s Inner Courtyard, from time to time, there were things that happened where the cultivation master was inferior to the disciple, only that the Cloud Sky Sect’s standard of measurement was different from that of the outside world.
Of course, there are some pills that must reach a certain level of cultivation before they can be refined, so even though cultivation is not important, sometimes in order to make pills, it has to be forcibly raised.
In this world, how many people can be like Li Muwan, with the cultivation of the early stage of the JieDan period, they can refine the fifth-grade pills that can only be refined by alchemists above the YuanYing period.
Wang Lin sighed in the bottom of his heart, the so-called things are different, in fact, this is the case, two hundred years of time, to say that the long is not long, but to say that the short, but also absolutely not short.
The other side of the appearance, than the year, several times more than, two hundred years ago, as if yesterday, but in the middle of the barrier is a thousand mountains and thousands of water, so that people can not easily step over.
Wang Lin did not have the intention to come forward to recognize him, his appearance, also long ago was not the year’s Ma Liang, so it was impossible for Li Muwan to recognize at this point.
“What is it?” Inside the attic, even in her voice, Li Muwan’s voice revealed a sense of melancholy.
Wang Lin took a deep breath, inner bitter smile, a dark sigh, said: “Disciple …… disciple ……” The face of the former deceased, this disciple two words, Wang Lin really can not say.
Opposite the attic in the Li Muwan, again heard Wang Lin’s voice, the body suddenly trembled, she waved her right hand, a layer of purple veil immediately appeared on the face, and then opened the door to the attic, out of the door, looking at Wang Lin in a daze.
“The disciple’s Dan furnace is broken.” Wang Lin said slowly with a calm gaze.
Li Muwan looked at Wang Lin and carefully looked at him for a long time before withdrawing her gaze, revealing a complex color in her eyes as she opened her mouth and said, “Are you a person from Chu?”
Wang Lin was silent for a little while and nodded.
Li Muwan let out a light sigh, her demeanor returned to normal, and said, “The Dan furnace shattered, it must be because the spiritual energy in your body climbed too fast, thus causing the ground fire to be unstable, this phenomenon is very unusual, just hold on for a period of time, and then it can be resolved on its own.” After saying that, she slightly pondered, opened her storage bag and took out a dan furnace.
“Since you are a Zhou Lin disciple, then I will gift you this Dan furnace, using this furnace to refine pills, you can keep it within a hundred times, and it will not shatter, if you are still unable to control the ground fire freely after a hundred times, it means that you don’t have a talent for refining pills, give up as early as possible, and go to the outer sects to cultivate.”
After Li Muwan finished speaking, the furnace in her hand was sent forward and floated in front of Wang Lin.
Wang Lin took it and immediately put it in his storage bag, although his expression was as usual, but his heart was complicated, every extra breath he stayed here was as hard as water and fire, at this time he clasped his fists and turned around to leave.
“Ma Liang ……” Li Muwan suddenly called out softly.
Wang Lin’s face showed a baffled color, looked back, and finally looked at Li Muwan in doubt.
Li Muwan sighed darkly and said, “You go, if you have any doubts, come and ask me.” After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the attic, and before long, bursts of guzheng sounds, once again came out from within the room.
This time, there was more despondency in the music and more despondency.
Wang Lin’s eyes revealed a complex color, raised his head and looked deeply at the silhouette inside the attic window, sighed softly inwardly, and turned to leave.
Inside the attic, Li Muwan put down her fingers, silent for a little while, suddenly her eyes condensed, got up and pushed open the window, gazing into the distance, after a long time, her eyebrows slightly wrinkled, muttering to herself: ”Not right! Where in the world is there a person with such a similar voice? Even if there really is, it’s impossible that even the demeanor is exactly the same, especially since this Wang Lin’s demeanor was obviously a little too calm just now, if it’s an ordinary person who definitely can’t do this.”
Her eyes flashed, and her right hand pointed at her eyebrow, and immediately, from her eyebrow, a drop of blood flew out, the color of this blood was crimson, but on it was a hint of a chilling aura.
This was exactly when Wang Lin left, gifting her a trace of Extreme Realm Divine Sense in her soul blood, which could keep her safe for a while. In fact, if it wasn’t for this Extreme Realm Divine Sense, Li Muwan wouldn’t have escaped from the attack.
“But if it’s really him, then this soul blood, why didn’t it have any reaction just now?” Li Muwan pursed her lower lip and sighed quietly after a long time.
Right at this moment, suddenly outside the attic, there was a loud voice: “Senior sister, can you come out to see me?”
Li Muwan frowned slightly, pushed open the door of the room, only to see an immortal style of middle-aged cultivator, is looking at with a smile, this person gentle and elegant, appearance is quite handsome, naturally, there is a stock of let a person close to the intention.
When he saw Li Muwan, his eyes unreservedly revealed a trace of adoration, and he said gently, “Senior sister, a month ago, I heard you say that you lacked a flavor of Dragon Rock Cheese, and I searched the whole of Chu, and finally, on the outskirts of the Shattered Stone Mountain Range in the land of Immortal Remnants, I found this strain of Dragon Rock Cheese.” Saying that, this person took out a jade box from within his storage bag, and inside the box was placed a purple-red colored, arm-thick lingzhi.
Li Muwan’s gaze was flat, not even looking at the jade box, saying, “Thank you, Mr. Sun for your kind words, but I have already found a replacement, and have already succeeded in alchemy three days ago, so this item, Mr. Sun would rather leave it on his own.”
That middle-aged man smiled faintly and put the jade box aside, his voice still gentle, “Senior sister, the First Ancestor, his old man is also well-intentioned, after all, you are not a direct lineage of my Cloud Sky Sect, if you want to obtain a more profound alchemy art, then you must choose a direct lineage disciple to form a dual-cultivation couple. You and I have known each other for a long time, and I think that my heart towards you is clear in senior sister’s mind.”
A cold aura flashed within Li Muwan’s eyes as she stared at the middle-aged man and said word for word, “Don’t mention this matter again!”
The middle-aged man quietly looked at Li Muwan, after a long time, calmly said, “Sister, when you came here from the Fire Burning Country, if not for me saving you, I think you would have perished at this time, over the years, how have I treated you? I want to know, why are you so determined?”
Li Muwan was silent for a little while, the figure of a person involuntarily surfaced in her mind, after half a second, she slowly said, “There is no reason ……”
That middle-aged man sighed, his voice as gentle as ever, and said, “Senior sister, the matter ordered by the Patriarch himself has become a foregone conclusion, so you’re considering it carefully.” After saying that, he gave Li Muwan a deep look, shook his head and smiled bitterly as he turned to leave.
Li Muwan stood quietly outside the attic, silent for a long time, turned around and returned to the attic, her back, so hopeless, so despondent.
Wang Lin left the South Court with a complicated heart all the way, just as he walked across the arch bridge, he saw Cheng Xian there looking up, the moment he noticed Wang Lin, this person immediately went forward and said with a flattering face, “Senior brother, how is it, things are still going well?”
Wang Lin glanced at him and said, “Let’s go.”
Cheng Xian waited for these words and immediately smiled with a big smile on his face and said, “Elder brother, at this time it’s about to get late, we’d better hurry up, you wait, I’ll call for two mounts to come.” After saying that, he placed his right hand in his mouth and blew violently, and a shrill whistle immediately passed out.
Immediately afterward, a few beast roars came from the distance. Wang Lin looked up and saw a large and two small black shadows, which suddenly sped from the distance between a few jumps.
Not long after, the black shadow gradually approaching, landed in Cheng Xian in front of ten feet away, it is two spirit apes, the spirit apes big height of nearly half a zhang, the small one also has nearly zhang, arms over the knee, each other are red eyes, rushing Cheng Xian bared his teeth, revealing the color of indignation.
Cheng Xian dry cough, said loudly: “Not just borrowed your things did not return it, to it, how to say that we also have more than ten years of friendship is not, so, you trust me two to go to the East Garden, I will give that thing to you how?”
The two spirit ape wearing thick air, wah la wah la chaotic roar some, and finally look at each other after, one of them suddenly a claw to Cheng Xian grabbed.
Cheng Xian did not dodge, let that claw grabbed, only to see that the larger spirit ape, grabbed the clothes presented, upward a throw, he was still on the body, followed by its figure as fast as lightning, to the distance jumping and running away.
At this time that small some of the spirit ape look to Wang Lin, eyes show the color of indignation, hissed a few times, to Wang Lin grab open, Wang Lin eyes flash, body to the side, at the same time footsteps lift, leaped on the body of the ape, the ape also do not mind, immediately row as if the running thunder, immediately sprinting to chase.
This spirit ape’s speed is extremely fast, sitting on its body, as if flying in the clouds, the front Cheng Xian obviously often have this enjoyment, at this time, after a few strange screams, actually took out a bag of water wine from within the storage bag, fiercely drank a big mouth, laughed and said: “Riding an ape to the East Garden, this kind of thing, look at the whole Cloud Sky Sect, only I Cheng Xian can do, haha. ”
Wang Lin laughed bitterly, although this Cheng Xian is a bit of a thief, but it is not annoying, although Wang Lin was disturbed by it, but he did not care too much, on the contrary, at this time, when he saw this Cheng Xian in such a scene, the complex idea in the bottom of his heart that he had encountered an old friend, slightly eased.
Cheng Xian threw back the bag of liquor in his hand, and threw it to Wang Lin face to face, Wang Lin lifted his right hand and grabbed it in his hand, and after looking at Cheng Xian, his mind reverberated to Li Muwan’s despondent look, and he couldn’t help but put the bag of liquor at his mouth, and fiercely drank a big mouthful of it.
