Chapter 272 Retreat
……
Wuling City.
Wow~~
The breeze blew by, and golden ripples appeared on the river surface.
In a simple courtyard by the river, Lin Zheyu pushed open the door and entered.
This is a small courtyard he bought before. It stands beside the river and has a pleasant scenery.
"Find someone to clean it, and we will live here from now on."
Lin Zheyu glanced at the dusty courtyard and said to himself.
He waved his hand casually, and the true energy in his body surged out, turning into a breeze that swept past, and the fallen leaves on the ground flew to the corner of the courtyard.
This is an application technique of true energy. With Lin Zheyu's current control ability and spiritual consciousness strength, he can do it easily.
However, compared with the magic techniques of immortal cultivators, such as the dust removal technique, it still seems a bit rough.
But it’s just so-so.
After briefly dealing with the courtyard, Lin Zheyu sat down at the stone table, took out the telepathy ball from the storage bag, and began to study it.
Lin Zheyu was still extremely interested in this special communicator.
"30 Lingxi balls are enough for the moment. Let's integrate the Lingxi balls given by others first." Lin Zheyu said secretly.
He doesn't know many immortal cultivators, and the only ones who have left contact information are Ji Ziyang, Ji Zitong, and Lei Yunshu.
Seven people in total.
Oh, and there’s also Wanli Meng’s contact information.
The Wanli Alliance is not just an ordinary contact information, but more like a platform website that can realize many functions. Only monks valued by the Wanli Alliance are eligible to receive it.
Ordinary monks, even if they have a high-grade spiritual ball, cannot enter their platform without the jade token of the Wanli Alliance.
Lin Zheyu checked it briefly and found that there were many powerful people posting various required tasks, and they could also accept tasks.
Unfortunately, apart from querying Wanli League's products, all other functions require spiritual stones.
Although Lin Zheyu was curious, he couldn't use it for the time being.
In the end, he still failed to recharge successfully.
There is no way, there is no spiritual stone.
"Leave a contact information for Tu Yuan first, and then give him a hard time, and then recharge to experience the functions of Wanli League."
Lin Zheyu murmured quietly and took out the telepathy ball left by Tu Yuan.
It's called fusion, but the process is very simple.
All you need to do is bring the two telepathic balls close to each other, establish a connection with your spiritual consciousness, restrain the key pattern in the sub-balls, and integrate them into Lin Zheyu's cue ball.
After the fusion is successful, the original sub-ball becomes a blank ball, which can be re-refined and reused.
"After you leave customs, you can go to No. 13 Liuxiang, Baiyang District, and look for the Lingxi Ball I left behind. Lingxi Ball will contact you then." Lin Zheyu immediately sent a message.
Although there is a Heaven Supervising Formation in Wuling City and the immortal cultivators dare not mess around, Lin Zheyu still does not want to expose his current address to Tu Yuan.
He doesn't trust Tu Yuan very much.
This guy gave him the feeling that he was not an honest guy.
Lin Zheyu didn't want to get into trouble for no reason.
One by one, he integrated all the spiritual balls on his body into the cue ball, and seven different auras suddenly appeared on the cue ball.
Lin Zheyu's trust in others was much higher.
While sending a greeting, he also left his address in Wuling City so that they could come and have a drink with him when they had time after leaving the customs.
"Let's go to the Wuji Sect first. After dealing with the Wuji Sect's affairs, it's time to retreat for a while."
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you a little. I don't know how Master Liang and Brother Han are doing. I hope everything is okay..."
Lin Zheyu sighed slightly, inexplicably thinking of Master Liang Song and Senior Brother Han Mo from Nanman.
Now that the Southern Barbarians have fallen into the hands of the Jiuyou Sect, even Lin Zheyu, whose strength is comparable to the peak of Foundation Establishment, does not dare to take risks alone.
Every city in the Wei Dynasty has the Sky Supervisor Formation, but Lin Zheyu doesn't believe that the Jiuyou Sect doesn't have similar means.
……
Wuling City.
Bitao Pavilion branch of Wuji Sect.
"Uncle Master!"
"It's Uncle Lin. Go and inform the Pavilion Master!"
As soon as Lin Zheyu arrived outside the station, someone recognized him and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Ah!"
"Uncle Lin is not...how...him, he is still alive!"
Someone stammered and spoke incoherently, making Lin Zheyu dumbfounded.
Sure enough, his sudden departure made the people of the sect think that he was in danger.
After all, the situation is so tense now, and people from the sect often die outside. If there is no news for so long, it usually means that they are gone.
"Is the Pavilion Master in the sect?"
Lin Zheyu called a disciple and asked softly.
"The Pavilion Master has been absent from the sect for some time. Now the affairs within the sect are mainly presided over by Elder Yang and the third elder."
The disciple said respectfully.
"Did anything major happen to the sect during my absence?" Lin Zheyu asked.
"If it's a major event, it does happen. That is, almost all the masters above Huajin in the sect have been transferred away."
"Even warriors above the Qi and Blood realm have joined the city guards to carry out missions."
"Nowadays, there is a shortage of manpower in the sect. One person can't wait to be broken into two people." The disciple pondered for a while.
"No one had an accident, right?"
Lin Zheyu asked worriedly.
"Yes, but most of them are disciples below the training level. Not many died, but some were seriously injured, and their future martial arts paths may be cut off."
The disciple's emotions dropped a little, and he felt a little bit the same.
"Well, it's okay. Let's go back and practice hard."
Lin Zheyu patted him on the shoulder, encouraged him, and walked towards the sect.
The powerful perception spread, and Mr. Yang's location was quickly found.
Mr. Yang was sitting in the main hall at this time, discussing some important matters with Wu Xuan.
Lin Zheyu strolled through the sect, looking at the familiar environment, he couldn't help but feel inexplicable emotion in his heart.
It was clear that I had only been away for a few months, but it seemed like a long time had passed.
"Report!"
"Report to Mr. Yang, if you have any disciples, please report!"
In the main hall, a disciple rushed in excitedly and reported loudly.
Mr. Yang and Wu Xuan stopped and looked over curiously.
"What's the matter?"
Mr. Yang asked calmly.
"Back to my lord, Uncle Lin is back."
The disciple said with some excitement.
Lin Zheyu is now a celebrity in the Wuji Sect. The genius who made extreme cultivation methods popular in the Wuji Sect is the number one among the younger generation!
"Lin...Zheyu?!"
Mr. Yang was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, with a flash of excitement in his eyes.
The same was true for Wu Xuan on the side. She couldn't help but said: "Where is Senior Nephew Lin? Let him go quickly. No, I will go over and see him."
"Uncle Lin is already outside. He specially asked the disciple to come in and report." The disciple said quickly.
"Quick, let him in."
Mr. Yang said impatiently.
Lin Zheyu was the first one he took a fancy to and asked Huang Baizhong to accept him as his disciple. Mr. Yang had high expectations for Lin Zheyu.
"Yes, disciple, go and inform us immediately!"
The disciple trotted out of the hall.
Not long after, Mr. Yang and Wu Xuan saw that familiar figure again after several months.
"Haha, you brat is finally willing to come back."
When Mr. Yang saw Lin Zheyu and saw that his aura was strong and he was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"Disciple Lin Zheyu, I have met Mr. Yang and my aunt."
Lin Zheyu clasped his fists and bowed, saluting Mr. Yang and Wu Xuan.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. During the time when you disappeared, senior brother mobilized a large number of manpower to search for you, but there was no news."
Wu Xuan said with a smile, feeling very happy that Lin Zheyu came back safely and alive.
"It's the disciple's fault for making the elders worry."
Lin Zheyu said apologetically.
He originally planned to talk to Master Huang Baizhong and Mr. Yang before going to the Demon God Barrier to practice, but he did not expect to meet the old man from Lingyun Pavilion.
Now, because of that old man, Lin Zheyu did not dare to stay in the Wuji Sect anymore, fearing that he would cause trouble to the Wuji Sect.
No matter what the other party's purpose was, as long as Lin Zheyu didn't give the old man any weakness that could be used as a threat, the old man would have nothing to do with him.
"Whatever you said, just come back safely." Mr. Yang said with a pleased smile.
"Mr. Yang, has Master gone on a mission? Did you say when he will be back?" Lin Zheyu asked.
If possible, he still wanted to meet Huang Baizhong and say goodbye formally.
"Bo Zhong, I won't be able to come back anytime soon."
"He has now reached the threshold of being promoted to a martial arts innate, and is looking for opportunities to break through, not so soon."
"Why, you have encountered difficulties in your cultivation. Do you want to find Baizhong to help you?"
Mr. Yang said with a smile.
"If you encounter difficulties in cultivation, you can come to me. Although my master is not as strong as Master Qi, I can still guide you."
Wu Xuan interrupted with a smile.
"It's not a matter of cultivation."
Lin Zheyu pondered for a moment and continued: "This disciple has encountered something and is leaving Wuling City. He may not come back for a long time. I want to say goodbye to the master in person."
"What!"
"You have to leave!"
Yang Lao and Wu Xuan both exclaimed in shock.
The two looked at each other, Wu Xuan nodded, and Mr. Yang asked: "Did you encounter any trouble?"
"I told you before that after you become a true disciple of the Wuji Sect, the sect will be your biggest supporter."
"No matter how much talent you have, you don't have to worry about any enemies or troubles you may have. The sect is your biggest support!"
Mr. Yang looked serious and said in a loud voice.
A powerful aura suddenly filled his body, and his temperament instantly changed drastically. He no longer looked like the amiable old man he had just been.
Feeling Mr. Yang's concern, Lin Zheyu felt warm in his heart.
In the Wuji Sect, he lived very comfortably, without any intrigues. Mr. Yang, Master Huang Baizhong, and his senior brothers and sisters were also very kind to him.
Here, he felt the warmth of home.
"It's the disciple's fault that he didn't encounter any trouble. Soon, the disciple will leave Guanghua Domain."
"I'm sorry. When I first entered the sect, I concealed my background. However, I didn't mean any harm. I just had some reasons and couldn't explain it."
Lin Zheyu thought about it for a moment and said half truthfully.
"Why are you talking about this? When you started, I was still a fake for you. How could I not know?" Mr. Yang rolled his eyes and said indifferently: "As long as you pass the question and sign the contract, it doesn't matter. Regardless of the past, he is considered a disciple of the Wuji Sect.”
"Need help?"
Wu Xuan did not dissuade him, but asked worriedly.
"Thank you, Master, for your concern. The disciple's trip is not very dangerous. It's just that the time spent away may be a little long, and there is a possibility that he may never come back."
Lin Zheyu said slowly.
"Then go!"
"I allow you to leave, but no matter where you are or what trouble you encounter, you must always remember that you will always be a true disciple of Wuji Sect!"
"If you really encounter an invincible enemy, come back. The Wuji Sect will always be your backer."
Mr. Yang said in a deep voice.
When he becomes serious, he gives people a domineering and arrogant feeling.
Lin Zheyu is so powerful now that he can sense that Mr. Yang and Wu Xuan's concern is sincere and not just a pretense to win people's hearts.
"Well, this disciple will not forget it." Lin Zheyu said solemnly.
"Okay, let's not mention this in advance. When are you going to leave?" Mr. Yang smiled and revealed the matter.
"The disciple will leave soon. This time he came back specially to say goodbye."
Lin Zheyu replied.
The longer he stayed, the easier it would be for his former identity and relationship with the Wuji Sect to be exposed. This was what Lin Zheyu was most worried about.
After seeing various strange abilities of immortal cultivators, Lin Zheyu became much more vigilant.
The breathing methods in martial arts and ordinary appearance changes can only be hidden from ordinary people without spiritual awareness.
Immortal cultivators identify a person's identity not only by their appearance, but also by the unique aura of each person.
If you don't use your spiritual sense to shield your aura, any monk with spiritual sense can identify Lin Zheyu's identity.
And if he uses his spiritual sense to shield his own aura, he will immediately reveal that he is not an ordinary warrior.
In this era when martial arts were not born innately and cultivators of immortality were hidden in the blessed land of cave heaven.
It is the strangest place for a strong man with spiritual consciousness to hide in a mundane martial arts sect like Wuji Sect.
Therefore, Lin Zheyu had to leave.
Before, he had no immortal cultivators he knew, and no one remembered Lin Zheyu's aura. At that time, he could still use the breathing technique to pretend to be a mortal and hide in Wuji Sect.
But that's no longer possible.
Not only did Lin Zheyu have several monk friends, he also made enemies with many people while in the Demon God's Barrier.
If Tu Yuan and the others find out, his identity as a disciple of the Wuji Sect will also be exposed, which will be a real trouble.
"Are you in such a hurry?!"
Mr. Yang frowned slightly, a trace of deep worry flashed in his eyes.
In his opinion, this was because Lin Zheyu was reporting good news but not bad news. He planned to take care of everything by himself and did not want to cause trouble to the sect.
"It's really okay, it's just that things are a little urgent."
Lin Zheyu explained and took out several leather waist bags from his arms.
"Old Yang, this is for you. This one is for the master. Please give it to me, Mr. Yang."
"Senior Sister, this is for you. These are for Huang Youwei, Senior Sister Wenzi, and Senior Brother Chen Ding. They all have names on them."
"This disciple is in a hurry to leave because of something, so I can only ask my aunt to help transfer it."
Under the curious eyes of Mr. Yang and Wu Xuan, Lin Zheyu handed over the prepared skin bag.
There were names written on the skin bag, and the contents inside were carefully prepared by Lin Zheyu for them. A total of two middle-grade spiritual stones were spent for a huge sum of money.
"Don't open it yet, it won't be interesting."
Seeing that Mr. Yang was about to open it, Lin Zheyu hurriedly spoke out.
Given Mr. Yang's personality, he would most likely reject it after seeing the precious elixir inside.
"Haha, you kid, you are so mysterious when giving a gift."
"If you don't open it, don't open it."
Mr. Yang smiled speechlessly, waved his hands and said angrily: "If you are in a hurry, get out of here. Don't waste too much time."
"Remember, come back when you encounter difficulties. The Wuji Sect will always be your backer!" Mr. Yang warned again.
"You left in a hurry, and Senior Sister didn't prepare any farewell gift in advance. You should take this magic weapon with you as a spare."
"Although it is a sword, it is not the sword you are good at."
"But this sword is a real magic weapon, and its power is far beyond the remnants of the magic weapon that Jiang Jun gave you."
"With this sword, even if you are not good at swordsmanship, you can still exert power far beyond your own, and it can protect you all the way."
Wu Xuan pondered for a moment and handed over his usual sword.
"Master aunt can't do it. This disciple already has a magical weapon at his disposal. Look..."
Lin Zheyu was worried that Wu Xuan and Mr. Yang would send some other valuables, so he took out a storage bag from his arms.
After using his spiritual sense to open the restriction, Lin Zheyu directly reached into it and grabbed a long knife from inside.
"Storage bag!"
When Mr. Yang and Wu Xuan saw this, they both exclaimed.
Things like storage bags, even the most inferior ones, are extremely valuable.
And you can only use it if you have spiritual consciousness. Otherwise, you can only use the storage bag that has no restrictions and anyone can peek into it.
"Yes."
"This disciple has gained a lot of opportunities this time, and his skills and resources are sufficient for the time being." Lin Zheyu said with a smile.
"Haha, that's good, that's good."
"Go away now. I look upset. I originally thought that when you grew up, I would let you take over as the master of Bitao Pavilion."
Mr. Yang laughed and waved his hand impatiently.
In his opinion, Lin Zheyu was really in a hurry, otherwise there would be no need to leave in such a hurry. Therefore, Mr. Yang did not dare to delay Lin Zheyu for too long, fearing that an accident would occur.
"The disciple took his leave."
"Thank you very much for your cultivation. Please accept my disciple's respect!"
Lin Zheyu gave a solemn salute to Mr. Yang and Wu Xuan, and stepped away under the reluctant eyes of the two.
"Alas..."
"I guessed at the beginning that this boy had an extraordinary origin, but now it seems that he may be even more extraordinary than I imagined."
Mr. Yang looked at the door of the hall and shook his head helplessly.
"Hey!"
"This boy actually gave me such a valuable elixir!"
Wu Xuan opened the skin bag and took a look, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Divine Will Pill!"
"Even the Wuji Sect is reluctant to redeem this kind of elixir. Where did this brat come from!"
When Mr. Yang heard the exclamation, he couldn't help but take a look and also exclaimed.
Divine Will Pill is valuable even in the world of immortality, as it can temper the soul and enhance the power of the soul.
For a martial arts master, the biggest threshold for promotion to a martial arts innate is that the soul is not strong enough to sense the existence of the bridge between heaven and earth.
Lin Zheyu bought the Shenyi Pill for Huang Baizhong and others to use to break through their martial arts innate abilities.
“What a luxury!”
"I was actually asked to take the Divine Intention Pill and achieve a breakthrough in martial arts innateness!"
Wu Xuan looked at the note left in the bag and said in disbelief.
She thought that if she couldn't break through the martial arts innateness in the future, she would use the accumulated contributions to exchange for pills that could help her in Si Tianjian.
But he didn't dare to expect to exchange for the Divine Will Pill.
Even foundation-building monks without a strong background may not be willing to buy this kind of elixir.
"Mine is also a Divine Will Pill. Hmm... This guy has a heart. He also has a pill that can help me recover from my old injuries."
Mr. Yang opened the skin bag and said with a complicated expression.
He had just specifically told Lin Zheyu that the Wuji Sect would always be Lin Zheyu's backer. If he encountered danger or difficulties, he would just come back.
But now it seems, haha...
"My nephew's opportunity this time is quite extraordinary!" Wu Xuan said in a complicated tone.
"Yeah."
"But this is also a good thing. When he left this time, he might have joined those powerful cultivating forces, and he joined as a genius."
Mr. Yang shook his head and said with a chuckle.
Only in this way can we explain why Lin Zheyu was able to come up with so many powerful pills.
……
After saying goodbye to Mr. Yang and the others, Lin Zheyu went straight out of the sect.
His perception field spread, and he could see the reactions of Mr. Yang and Sister Wu Xuan.
If Lin Zheyu were at the scene at this time, he would have to tell a series of lies if he wanted to explain, and he would have to waste words to get Mr. Yang and the others to accept it.
Very troublesome.
It's better to just leave and let them just accept it and figure it out on their own.
“See you later!”
"I will come back if I have the opportunity in the future..."
Lin Zheyu glanced at the door of Bitao Pavilion and murmured in a low voice.
Phew~~
Take a long breath and let go of the complicated emotions in your heart.
Lin Zheyu turned around and strode away.
After confirming that no one was paying attention, his appearance slowly changed and transformed into Xiao Yu's original face again.
Although cultivators mainly identify themselves through breath.
But Lin Zheyu's original appearance is quite famous.
As a newly promoted genius of the Wuji Sect, the number one among the younger generation, and a genius on the Hidden Dragon List, Lin Zheyu's portrait has probably been on the tables of all the major forces for a long time.
If he used his original appearance, it would be easy to expose his Wuji Sect training past.
Then there will be big trouble.
If others find out, Lin Zheyu was not a warrior even if he was in the marrow training realm two years ago.
In just over two years, he has grown into a powerhouse comparable to the peak of foundation building. Is that even a big deal?
I guess they all can’t help but want to take it back and slice it for study.
Let's see what great opportunities Lin Zheyu got and what powerful secrets he possesses?
Wow~~~
The breeze blows and the river surface sparkles.
Lin Zheyu stood on the riverside, feeling extremely calm, and gradually came out of the mood of separation.
On the way back, he hired someone to clean up the courtyard. The whole courtyard looked much more comfortable.
The spring breeze is blowing, it just rained last night, and the wind is a bit cold today.
Lin Zheyu blew the cool breeze for a while, returned to the courtyard, and began to practice in seclusion.
After Ji Ziyang and others understood the fragments of the rules, they needed to go back to retreat to consolidate, but Lin Zheyu didn't need to.
He consumed ten units of source power to comprehend the rule fragments, and he had already almost comprehended the rules.
Lin Zheyu went into seclusion, firstly to accumulate source power, and secondly, to study magic patterns and totem knowledge with great concentration.
Only by systematically studying magic patterns and totem knowledge can the Hunyuan Golden Body Kung Fu go further.
