Fairy Tree

Xiao Lin began to think deeply. He really did not want to get involved in the war between Gu Xuanzong and the five major sects of Tianlu, but he also knew very well that since this task was rewarded with Tianlu tokens, it can be seen that the task must also be very serious. Dangerous.

Even if he takes over this task, whether he has the life to fulfill his promise to the five major sects is a matter of two opinions.

If he did not accept this mission, he would undoubtedly participate in the cruel war in the world of cultivation. With his current state, his death was a high probability.

Neither Ancestor Tianyi nor Master Su Qingyun spoke, as if they were giving Xiao Lin time to think.

After thinking about it for more than half an hour, the color in Xiao Lin's eyes began to become firmer, and he seemed to have made up his mind.

"I agree to take on this task." Xiao Lin said.

"Very good." Ancestor Tianyi said calmly, as if he had expected Xiao Lin to agree.

"Disciple, we cultivators fight for our lives against the sky. Sometimes we will not be favored if we retreat. Only by working hard can we obtain the glimmer of hope." Su Qingyun said to Xiao Lin with deep meaning.

"Disciple understands." Xiao Lin said.

"For this mission, each of the five major sects will choose one person, led by Lin Xueying, to go to the Southern Territory to complete this mission. As for the details of the mission, only Lin Xueying knows it, and when it is time to tell you, she will naturally tell you Yours."

"This is where you will gather." A ray of green light shot toward Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin reached out and put his hand into his hand, only to find that it was a blue jade slip.

"You go ahead." After the ancestor Tianyi finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly and began to regain his composure.

Xiao Lin bowed to the two of them and bowed before slowly leaving the Cuixia Palace. After leaving the Cuixia Palace, Xiao Lin directly controlled the Bingluan Sword, turning into a huge beam of light and flying towards the outside of the Dancao Mountain.

Above Qing Ming, Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh. He wanted to practice in seclusion in peace in his sect, but he never thought that he would not be able to find peace in the end. However, this day was also what he expected.

After he rescued Lin Xueying who was being chased by Gu Xuan Zong's disciples, he knew that it was only a matter of time before Gu Xuan Zong attacked the Tianlu Mountains. Xiao Lin felt lucky that he had delayed the attack for thirty years.

After all, in his opinion, his cultivation level is deeper, and he has more ability to save his life in this turmoil that affects the entire Tianlu Mountains.

It's just that Xiao Lin is also a little confused. Although he saved Lin Xueying's life and should be regarded as her savior, now she named him to represent Dancao Mountain in this mission. I don't know whether it is a bad thing or a blessing.

But no matter whether it is bad or good, now, he can only bite the bullet and go on. It is not that Xiao Lin has not thought about it and just left. But firstly, he is not desperate, and secondly, he does not want to Carrying the psychological baggage of betraying his master.

But Xiao Lin has made up his mind. If this mission really puts him in a desperate situation, then he would rather bear the infamy to save his life, or at worst, leave the Southern Territory directly.

I believe that as big as the world is, there is always a place for one to stand.

After figuring it out, Xiao Lin stopped thinking about it and began to use all his strength to activate the escape light, heading towards the depths of the Tianlu Mountains at lightning speed.

More than a month later, Xiao Lin fell into an unknown valley in the Tianlu Mountains. Before falling, Xiao Lin's spiritual consciousness had already spread out and searched the small valley of less than 300 feet inside and outside.

What surprised him was that there were no people in this small valley except for a few wild beasts.

Xiao Lin landed on a clean bluestone in the valley and sat down cross-legged. He continued to spread his spiritual consciousness out without giving up, and searched several times before giving up.

Xiao Lin took out a blue jade slip from his storage bag, immersed it in his spiritual consciousness, and looked at it carefully several times. He was already sure that the address he came from was not wrong. In the jade slip given to him by Patriarch Tianyi, The recorded gathering place is exactly this valley.

"It seems that I am the first one to arrive." Xiao Lin was a little speechless, but it didn't matter. He just took out a water spirit pill from his storage bag, swallowed it, and began to continue practicing. .

It didn't take long to enter the late stage of foundation building, and Xiao Lin still needed some time to stabilize his realm. After entering the late stage of foundation building, Xiao Lin's own combat power increased at least several times.

With the improvement of realm, both the Qingyan Spiritual Fire Secret Technique and the several elementary spells practiced by Xiao Lin have undergone earth-shaking changes. Although Xiao Lin is not yet confident enough to compete with the early Jindan monks. , but if he faced the Foundation-Building Dzogchen monks, he was not afraid at all.

Of course, Xiao Lin is well aware of the principle of keeping a low profile. Although he has several trump cards, there are those who can practice to the perfection of foundation building and there are few who don’t have many trump cards. When all the trump cards are really revealed, there is no guarantee that he will not fall into the gutter. Capsize.

Then Xiao Lin thought of Lin Xueying again. The moment he thought of Lin Xueying, Xiao Lin couldn't help but recall the scene in his mind when she was seriously injured and fell into coma, and he unveiled the veil on her face.

Back then, Nangong Chen once said that Lin Xueying was recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Tianlu Mountains. Xiao Lin didn't take it seriously at first. After all, in his opinion, there were still many beautiful female cultivators in the world of cultivation.

Moreover, many female cultivators have practiced beauty-preserving exercises. In fact, this kind of beauty-preserving skills are not necessarily like Xiao Lin, who has maintained the appearance of a twenty-year-old after eating the blood sesame fruit. Most of them have The beauty-preserving technique will also age with the passage of time.

However, this kind of aging is much slower than that of ordinary mortals. For example, a female cultivator in the foundation-building stage who looks to be in her twenties may already be in her seventies or eighties. As time goes by, when she is a hundred years old, she may look more than thirty.

Moreover, this kind of aging will accelerate in the last years of a cultivator. When she reaches one hundred and seventy or eighty years old, she may age to the age of seventy or eighty years old in a few years. Many female cultivators cannot even accept this rapid aging and choose to die before they die.

Die is different from sitting in meditation. Die allows cultivators to carry part of their original spiritual power and souls back to reincarnation. It is rumored that souls carrying original spiritual power are more likely to become cultivators in the next life.

Therefore, many cultivators will choose to die before they die.

However, the idea of ​​reincarnation is illusory. Whether it exists or not is a matter of debate. Most cultivators choose to die before they can no longer make further progress and their lifespan is approaching, just to leave a thought for themselves.

As for whether they can really reincarnate and cultivate again, they themselves do not know.

The several female cultivators Xiao Lin had killed were all extremely charming. In the secular world, they were absolutely stunningly beautiful, but in the world of cultivation, they were only above average.

But for those female cultivators who had ill intentions towards him, he didn't care whether they were stunningly beautiful or not, and his hands didn't hesitate at all.

But after seeing Lin Xueying's appearance, Xiao Lin realized that there were really peerless appearances in the world of cultivation that could make people's heartbeats accelerate and blood boil. Xiao Lin had to admit that at the moment when he took off Lin Xueying's veil, he was also confused and his heart was like a chaotic horse.

If it weren't for the heart of Taoism defeating the evil thoughts in his heart in the end, he might have done something.

Of course, even if he did something, Lin Xueying might not be able to do anything to him.

But Xiao Lin still had a trace of arrogance in his bones. In his opinion, a forced melon is not sweet. If the other party disdains him, he will not lick his face and get close to the other person's cold butt.

But Xiao Lin was still a little excited about meeting Lin Xueying, and a hint of expectation appeared in his eyes.

"Brother Xiao, long time no see." At this time, a green light descended from the sky, and the light dissipated, revealing a smiling and pretty woman. The woman was about 21 or 22 years old, with a head of black hair covered with a golden fish scale net to form a small mushroom.

A silver hairpin was inserted diagonally on the small mushroom.

Seeing the woman, Xiao Lin couldn't help showing a surprised expression on his face: "Sister Shuangzhi?"

Xiao Lin never thought that he would meet Bai Shuangzhi, who had teamed up with him in the cave that year, here, but he clearly remembered that when he joined Dancao Mountain, he looked around and didn't see Bai Shuangzhi.

Originally, he thought that Bai Shuangzhi didn't pick the purple spirit flower, and thus lost the opportunity to join the five major sects.

Now Xiao Lin saw at a glance that Bai Shuangzhi was wearing the clothes of a true disciple of Bailianmen. Needless to say, Bai Shuangzhi was also a true disciple like himself at this moment.

"You joined Bailian Sect?" Xiao Lin asked in surprise.

"Hehe, I didn't join Bailian Sect through the cave trial, but I was originally a disciple of Bailian Sect." Bai Shuangzhi saw Xiao Lin's surprised expression and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed.

"Originally a disciple of Bailian Sect?" Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard it. When they formed a team in the cave trial, the strange magic weapon on Bai Shuangzhi made Xiao Lin suspicious. However, in Xiao Lin's opinion at that time, if Bai Shuangzhi was really a disciple of the five major sects, there was no need to hide her identity.

So although Xiao Lin suspected that Bai Shuangzhi was like himself, she got some opportunities to practice so quickly. Now think about it, this girl is actually a disciple of Bailian Sect.

And judging from her appearance, I'm afraid the background behind her is not simple, otherwise she would not represent Bailian Sect to join this mission.

The moment Bai Shuangzhi appeared, Xiao Lin sensed her cultivation level, which was the same as his, at the late stage of foundation building. This surprised Xiao Lin even more. He relied on the ability of the spiritual wood space to accelerate the growth of spiritual medicines, and usually practiced and ate the five elements spiritual pills as candy. Even so, it took decades of hard work to reach the current realm, and Bai Shuangzhi also cultivated to the late stage of foundation building in just thirty or forty years, which really surprised him. He became more and more interested in the background behind her, and even Xiao Lin was still guessing that behind Bai Shuangzhi, wouldn’t it be the Yuanying cultivator of Bailianmen-the ancestor of the sword casting?
