Chapter 104 Let’s go together
Sitting across the low table, Lin Bai poured tea for Huang Ruhua.
After greeting each other, Huang Ruhua took a sip of tea and sighed: "I never thought that fellow Taoist Yun would enter the country so quickly."
"Where is it?" Lin Bai was very humble, and used his previous remarks to fool him, and at the same time carefully observed the other person's expression.
This yellow flower-like surface shows vicissitudes of life. It must have been traveling all the way and just returned recently.
However, people are excited, have joyful expectations, and are also a little worried.
Lin Bai estimated that she might not have obtained the golden elixir secret treasure yet, but she might have a clue.
After chatting for a while, Lin Bai said with a smile: "I was in seclusion before, and I found out after I came out that you had left. Fellow Taoist Yang told me so."
He sighed and asked tentatively: "Will this trip go smoothly?"
Huang Ruhua nodded slightly and said: "Reluctantly. We found someone who knew the formation, but that person's cultivation level was too low, and half the bottle of water was sloshing around." She smiled helplessly, as if mocking herself, "But it's finally useful. , helped us find the formation, but there are too few people, and it takes many people to break the formation."
When she said this, she looked at Lin Bai.
Why are you so focused on inviting me? Just because I'm a good person? Should good people go out and hang out? Lin Bai was speechless.
"You are a good person."
Huang Ruhua put down the tea cup, "I can trust your character. Even though you act boldly...even though you are cautious, it's not a bad thing." Her eyes were blazing, almost crazy, and she continued: "You are kind to me. But I never took advantage of me. When I borrowed the Qi-nourishing pill, it wasn't like there was no one to borrow it from, it was just that everyone looked at me without squinting and treated me with courtesy and sincerity. Keep it in mind.”
I treat everyone like this...Besides, I see Sister Ning every day, so ordinary women naturally have no interest in her.
Lin Bai did have some feelings in his heart. He waved his hands and said: "You and I, the casual cultivators, should be watching and helping each other. Why do you, Daoist Huang, bring up old things again and again?"
Huang Ruhua smiled, leaned forward, and whispered: "This is the third time I invite fellow Taoists to go with me."
"I have just practiced the sixth level of Qi. I'm afraid..." Lin Bai looked worried, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Is it really the golden elixir secret treasure?"
"It must be the golden elixir!" Huang Ruhua was extremely sure.
"Is there any danger?" Lin Bai asked again.
"Fellow Taoist Yun, I assure you that there is absolutely no danger." Huang Ruhua said in a very confident tone, "As long as I live, I will never let fellow Taoist suffer any harm."
Why is she so confident? With the three of them practicing qi, plus Zhu Yumao, can they break the golden elixir legacy formation? Even if the power of the formation is reduced a lot, it will still be very difficult. Lin Bai frowned slightly, thinking.
Lin Bai didn't want to go in his heart, but this time Zhu Yumao was suppressed by the other party, so it was necessary to go.
Zhu Yumao was honest and kind, and it was true that he was a bad guy, but he was really kind to him and helped him a lot.
Lin Bai is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so he should find a way to rescue him both emotionally and rationally.
But something is really wrong with this Huang Ruhua team. Lin Bai couldn't see anything wrong, but he felt that Huang Ruhua was a bit crazy.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Bai felt that he should meet with Senior Zhu Jianyang.
Firstly, it concerns the Zhu family, and secondly, Senior Zhu Jianyang is kind and there is no need to worry about revealing Huang Ruhua's secret.
"When will Fellow Daoist Huang leave again?" Lin Bai said after pondering for a long time.
"Within ten days. In fact, I came back this time to find two helpers and to purchase some other things."
Huang Ruhua said with a hint of excitement, "Now that you are practicing at the sixth level of qi, you can do it alone. If you don't go, I will have to spend more effort and find someone else."
Lin Bai looked thoughtful again, and after a long time he said: "Can you allow me to think about it?" Then he said with a smile: "This is not a trivial matter, I have to be careful."
"Of course you can." Huang Ruhua looked happy when she saw Lin Bai's move. "Fellow Taoist, please don't worry too much. You will never lose what you gain from this trip."
After a few more words, Lin Bai sent Huang Ruhua out of the cave.
As soon as he came out, he saw Jiang Chun walking towards him.
Huang Ruhua and Lin Bai saluted, and Jiang Chun returned the salute.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, the ground fire matter is done!" Jiang Chun held Lin Bai's arm.
"Thank you Brother Jiang, my alchemy can be improved again!" Lin Bai was very grateful.
Huang Ruhua saw that they had something private to say, so she nodded to Lin Bai and walked away.
"Follow me!" Jiang Chun led the way and continued walking south.
After walking for a while, there were flowers, trees and greenery, and there was no one else around.
"Fellow Daoist Yun, I have spent a lot of effort this time." Jiang Chun stopped under the flower tree and sighed.
This is a benefit! Lin Bai gritted his teeth and thought silently: If earning spiritual stones is not for buying, buying, buying, then what is the point of earning spiritual stones?
Painfully, he took out a middle-grade spirit stone and added a bottle of Jingjing Pills.
Jiang Chun accepted it with satisfaction and whispered: "Is the elixir gone?"
This refers to Tiger Wolf Pill.
"No more." Lin Bai sighed, "I have no use for it."
Jiang Chun nodded and smiled, without saying anything more, and continued to lead the way.
After walking for a while, we came to a cave.
Jiang Chun laughed and chatted with the gatekeeper for a few words, then led Lin Bai in.
It was even hotter in the cave. After walking for a while, Jiang Chun warned: "Remember, most people who make alchemy and make weapons are not very humane and have a certain sense of stupidity. That's why you are also a person who is obsessed with alchemy. Understand." ?”
Got it, act honest and honest, and then feel sympathy for each other!
"Understood." Lin Bai responded.
The cave is gradually going downwards, with occasional small cave branches on both sides, and the sound of knocking can be heard.
Whenever he met someone of the same clan by chance, Jiang Chun would always deal with it and no one would question him. On the contrary, they all bowed politely.
It can be seen that the Jiang family is indeed a strict family upbringing.
After walking for about half a mile in a zigzag way, I don’t know how deep I went into the ground, but I felt that it was getting hotter and hotter. Even as a monk, he still feels a little uncomfortable.
After some tea practice, the front suddenly opened up, and a huge cave with a radius of one hundred feet appeared.
There was a raging fire burning in the middle. There are four large cauldrons standing on all sides, and four young people are guarding them.
"Chunzi!" A young man stepped forward, pointed at Lin Bai, and said with a smile: "Is this the fellow you said is obsessed with alchemy?"
Jiang Chun smiled and said: "Exactly."
Lin Bai bowed and looked dull.
The young man glanced at Lin Bai again and said, "My ancestor has gone out and has not returned yet. Hurry up. Also, don't get too close, otherwise you will be poisoned by fire." After saying that, he put his arm on Jiang Chun's shoulder and walked toward him. Walking aside, he whispered: "I heard that my little sister is now a businessman and is very promising. She is already selling Tiger Wolf Pills to people. Why are you trying to explain to me..."
Lin Bai saluted him again, then stepped forward and slowly approached the source of the earth fire.
When he came five feet away, he couldn't get any closer, so he sat down cross-legged. Burning fire, extremely hot. Lin Bai felt that his mouth was dry, his whole body was hot, his hair was slightly burnt, and his butt was almost cooked.
After staring at it for a while, I felt my eyes sting again, and I couldn't stop crying.
Then his consciousness reached out, and after only five breaths, he felt a tingling pain in his head. Then the spiritual power dissipated, and he tried to wrap up a ball of earth fire, but he failed. This is the real earth fire! It seems to have the intention of burning everything.
Fire itself has the meaning of destruction, but it is also endless. It can destroy all kinds of beasts in the mountains and forests, and will not stop as long as there is something flammable.
It can also be used to refine pills and utensils. Whether it is destroyed or reborn depends on how people use it.
Lin Bai came to the stone plate, and the subtle spiritual energy squeezed in from outside the mist, which was red in color and scorching. It was much richer than the spiritual energy in his own cave, and the fire energy was even more abundant.
If a person with fire in his natal life practices here, he will really get twice the result with half the effort.
Calming his mind, the surrounding mist slowly came in, then outlined the shape of the earth fire, and soon became the power of the earth fire.
In the past, when practicing alchemy, the earth fire only had its shape but not its meaning. This time the earth fire is much stronger than when the alchemy was made, but it does not have the meaning of burning and annihilation.
Lin Bai carefully recalled the meaning of earth fire that he just felt, and slowly added it to the mist.
The ground fire suddenly grew stronger, but only jumped a few times before dissipating without a trace.
Opening his eyes, Lin Bai observed and experienced again, completely ignoring the burning sensation on his body.
After doing this for dozens of times, I finally got something, and got a slight sense of the meaning contained in the earth fire.
On the stone plate, dots of moonlight appeared on the surrounding fog.
Lin Bai stood on the edge, and a raging fire burned in the center of the stone plate. Although it has the form of fire, it has little meaning of earth and fire.
After all, the time is too short to engrave its meaning on the stone plate.
"Take your time and practice a little bit, and you can always achieve something."
Lin Bai comforted himself and remembered the pure sword intention he saw in Fengming Pavilion.
The turbulence of the earth fire has the meaning of destruction and endlessness, which is a natural thing; and the pure sword intention, untainted and flawless, is more about the enlightenment of the mind.
The difficulty of understanding the two is different. The latter is difficult, but the former is much simpler.
"Such a pure sword intention, no matter whether the sword intention is obtained from one's own destiny or realized from external objects, the person must be extremely pure."
Lin Baixin longed for it, but it was too far, so he had better start with the underground fire.
"If you can use the Fire Lin Sword as a matchmaker and add a hint of the burning and annihilation of earthly fire, you will be the best in the same realm."
Lin Bai became more and more confident. Although he was still far from it, he had a slight understanding of the meaning of earth fire. As long as he slowly carved it on the stone plate, he would eventually succeed.
Soon an hour passed and Jiang Chun came to shout.
Lin Bai stood up, his clothes had been damaged by the heat, and his hair was also burnt.
"You're trying your best." The Jiang family disciple who came with Jiang Chun said with a smile.
"I couldn't miss this opportunity, so I just watched it for a while." Lin Bai said with a smile.
The young man smiled but said no more.
Lin Bai changed his clothes and followed Jiang Chun out.
After returning to his cave, Lin Bai was not in a hurry to go out and continued to practice meditation on the stone plate.
One day later, Lin Bai went out.
Arriving at Fengming Pavilion and going up to the second floor, Lin Bai saluted Zhu Jianyang.
"There is still fire left in you, but something went wrong in the alchemy?" Zhu Jianyang asked with great concern.
"That's not true." Lin Bai explained with a smile: "I went to the Jiang family's underground fire cave and saw the source of their fire."
"That's it." Zhu Jianyang nodded slightly, "I must have gained something, and it will be beneficial to alchemy in the future, right?"
"Indeed."
Lin Bai smiled, took a sip of tea, and said, "Senior, someone invited me out. That person is probably in the same group as the two casual cultivators who took Brother Yumao away."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuling looked surprised and asked, "How did you know they were in the same group?"
Zhu Jianyang also looked at Lin Bai curiously.
Lin Bai immediately explained, focusing on the important matters regarding the gift of the elixir, Huang Ruhua's invitation, and even her efforts to beg the formation master.
"I can't say for sure, but I just thought about it. It's definitely not such a coincidence. They are both formation seekers, and the number of them is about the same." Lin Bai sighed and said, "That's why, I suspect that those who are traveling with them The person who knows the formation must be Brother Yumao.”
For a moment, no one spoke in the room.
After a long time, Zhu Yuling sighed and didn't know what she was thinking.
Zhu Jianyang looked at Lin Bai and asked, "What are your plans?"
"Brother Yumao is friends with me. I didn't know his whereabouts before, so that's fine. But now that I know, and he may be in danger, I should go and take a look."
Lin Bai expressed his thoughts and said: "If it is really him, then think about how to save him. If it is not him, then he should go out and try his luck."
"This matter was brought about by Yumao himself." Zhu Jianyang smiled and said: "You are now successful in alchemy, your cultivation has also improved by leaps and bounds, and your achievements will be even higher in the future. There is no need to take risks."
Lin Bai sighed and said: "I think so too, but I can't feel at peace in my heart. If I really don't know, that's fine. But now that I know but don't let go, I feel really uneasy."
Seeing Lin Bai's frank words, Zhu Jianyang nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and gently threw out a jade talisman.
Lin Bai took the jade talisman and didn't know why.
"If you are in danger, just crush it." Zhu Jianyang said with a smile.
Lin Bai understood that Senior Zhu Jianyang was planning to follow.
"Yes." Lin Bai stood up and saluted.
When Lin Bai left, Zhu Jianyang sat motionless, but Zhu Yuling frowned and circled around Zhu Jianyang.
"Uncle, do you really want to go?" Zhu Yuling had a headache.
"Of course I want to go." Zhu Jianyang stroked his beard and smiled, "Yumao is my nephew and belongs to the Zhu family. Why don't you just leave it alone?"
"We don't have many foundation builders left, you..." Zhu Yuling hesitated, her eyes filled with sadness.
"You must know that one's life is full of anger." Zhu Jianyang's voice was gentle and calm, "Our family is in decline, and if anything happens, it will hurt our muscles and bones. But if you see your own family members in trouble and don't go to rescue, you are full of anger. It’s gone. Wouldn’t it be more difficult to regain the glory of our ancestors in the future? We are not those desperate and aggressive cultivators, but we cannot lose the courage to fight for our lives.”
"Of course I know this truth..." Zhu Yuling was still very anxious, "But if I just listened to someone's words, what if he... He was so fond of our words that day that he read them over and over again and couldn't wait to stop..." Come down.”
"The word has been released back home, what are you worried about?" Zhu Jianyang shook his head, with a bit of disgust in his eyes, "You have not shown your way, and your vision has also been lowered. He likes the word because he is really happy and sees the wise. Qi. Anyone who is aspiring to the truth is willing to take a second look. Although he likes it, he has no greed for it. I have lived for more than a hundred years and I am not blind."
Seeing that Zhu Jianyang's tone was getting impatient, Zhu Yuling did not dare to say anything.
"If we can bring Yu Mao back this time, let him guard this store. You can go back to your hometown!" Zhu Jianyang said.
