Wang Lin's eyes became serious. Elder Li, disciple of the country of Hou Fen's Luo He Sect … These two words appeared in his mind at the same time. A name that had been in his mind for a long time suddenly appeared.
"Impossible …" Wang Lin secretly thought, "How could there be such a coincidence in this world? How could a weak girl suddenly become an elder of the Cloud Sky Sect?"
Wang Lin laughed and secretly thought that he was thinking too much.
"This Elder Li is a peerless talent. When she was still in the country of Hou Fen, she was already famous. Later on, the country of Hou Fen was attacked by the country of Xuan Wu and the entire Luo He Sect was defeated. Some of the disciples were forced to flee. Otherwise, Elder Li wouldn't have come to the Cloud Sky Sect."
Cheng Xian said with a sigh.
Wang Lin nodded. He didn't say anything and continued to walk forward.
Cheng Xian blinked and quickly followed. He let out a mischievous laugh and said:
"Senior apprentice brother, when are we going to the western courtyard?"
Wang Lin looked at the sky and said, "After I pay my respects to the ancestor, I'll go with you to the western courtyard. However, I already said that I don't know that little girl. I don't even know her name. If I can't go to the western courtyard, then I'll have to give up."
Cheng Xian was startled, but after thinking for a bit, he immediately smiled and said, "No problem. I know that little girl's name. When the time comes, you can go find her. Brother, I believe in my own eyes. That little girl will definitely come out to see you."
Wang Lin didn't say anything as he walked toward the southern courtyard.
Along the way, Cheng Xian's mouth didn't even close once. It could be seen that he was a very talkative person. Rumors and information about the Cloud Sky Sect came out of his mouth one after another.
This person's words were very lively. Listening to him, Wang Lin didn't feel bored. Just like this, the two of them quickly arrived at the southern courtyard.
"It has to be said that Elder Li hasn't been in the sect for a long time, only about 100 years, but her alchemy skills are top notch. I heard from a few seniors that when Elder Li fought against two rank 5 alchemists of the Cloud Sky Sect, she wasn't at a disadvantage at all and was able to create one of the three treasures of the Cloud Sky Sect, the rank 5 Cultivation Pill." When talking about this pill, Cheng Xian revealed a look of envy.
"Demonic Cultivation Pill?" Wang Lin was startled. The name of this pill was too strange. Could it be that after taking this pill, one could cultivate the demonic path?
When Cheng Xian saw Wang Lin's expression, he let out a proud smile and said, "Hehe, this pill's name is indeed strange. After the pill was refined, the sect's ancestor asked elder Li to name it. After pondering for a while, elder Li came up with this name.
Although this pill is called Devil Cultivation, its actual function is not related to Devil Cultivation at all. "
"What effect does this pill have?"
Wang Lin felt it was a bit strange. This pill's name was Devil Cultivation Pill, Elder Li, Hou Fen Country's Luo Sect's disciple … there seems to be some connection. "" The effect of this pill is very big, but I don't know what it does. "
Cheng Xian shrugged his shoulders and mocked himself. "With my status, how could I know what this pill does? This is one of the three treasures of the Cloud Sky Sect."
Wang Lin didn't mind. After nodding his head, the two of them arrived outside the southern courtyard. In front of them was a long arched bridge. Under the bridge, there was flowing water. Bursts of spiritual energy came from the water, giving off a very refreshing feeling.
In the flowing water, there were several seven-colored carps swimming leisurely.
Cheng Xian stopped in front of the bridge and smiled. "There is actually a rumor about the Devil Cultivation Pill. Brother, do you want to hear it?"
"I'm all ears."
Wang Lin's gaze followed the bridge and looked into it. The bridge was filled with white fog, blocking his vision. He couldn't see very far, but he could vaguely see that the bridge was very elegant. It was like a peach garden.
"Rumor has it that Elder Li lived in the Sea of Devils for a period of time. This Devil Cultivation Pill was actually made because of her story in the Sea of Devils.
Of course, this is only a rumor. There are many rumors about Elder Li in the Cloud Sky Sect.
When I have the chance, I'll talk to you about it. "Cheng Xian was very proud of himself.
After Wang Lin heard this, his expression remained the same. He clasped his hands at Cheng Xian and walked toward the bridge.
Cheng Xian quickly shouted, "Brother Wang Lin, we hit it off the moment we met. I'll wait for you here. Don't forget, we still have something important to do."
Wang Lin ignored him and walked past the bridge.
After entering the southern courtyard, the fog became even thicker. It was impossible to see more than 10 feet away. If Wang Lin's original body was here, he would only need to scan the area with his divine sense to find the correct path.
But right now, Wang Lin's avatar was only at the 8th layer of Qi Condensation, so he could only slowly walk forward.
The deeper he went, the thicker the fog became. His line of sight had shrunk from 10 feet to 10 feet.
At this moment, an illusory voice rang out from within the mist.
"The southern courtyard is a forbidden area. Outer courtyard disciples without a token are not allowed to enter!"
Wang Lin stopped. His expression was calm as he loudly said,
He calmly said, "Disciple Wang Lin is here to greet Ancestor Li.
After the voice pondered for a while, the fog in front of Wang Lin seemed to be pushed away by a giant hand. It opened up a path that led deep into the southern courtyard.
"If you follow this path, you will reach Elder Li's residence. Go!"
The voice spoke again. This time, Wang Lin had a feeling that there was a hint of envy in the voice.
Without a word, Wang Lin followed the path.
A faintly discernible sound of music slowly came from afar. Following the sound of teeth teeth, it didn't take long for him to reach the end of the path. A pavilion made entirely of white jade appeared in front of him.
Looking through the window of the pavilion, one could see the figure of a woman sitting inside. She was sitting upright, and there was a zither in front of her.
However, there was a thin curtain on the window, so he couldn't see what she looked like.
The moment Wang Lin walked closer, a heavenly song came out from the pavilion. It was like a small bridge that flowed into his body and mind.
Wang Lin didn't say anything. Instead, he quietly listened. After a long time, the music faded away and a graceful voice came out from the pavilion. "Are you Wang Lin?"
When this voice fell into Wang Lin's ears, his body shook and his eyes revealed a look of disbelief. However, his eyes quickly returned to normal. After a moment of silence, Wang Lin slowly said, "I am!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "pa" sound. The zither in the hand of the person in the attic suddenly broke a string. Immediately after, the window of the attic suddenly opened, revealing a peerless face that made people's hearts beat wildly.
Her face was like a willow, her eyebrows were like the autumn waters, her hands were like soft silk, her skin was like cream, her teeth were like a rhinoceros, and her eyebrows were like a moth's.
If one were to compare this woman, it could only be said that she used flowers as her appearance, birds as her voice, the moon as her spirit, jade as her bones, ice as her skin, water as her posture, and music as her heart.
The woman's gaze immediately locked onto Wang Lin. After carefully looking at him for a long time, she revealed a hint of melancholy. She gently closed the window, once again blocking out that peerless beauty.
Wang Lin's eyes were still as calm as water. The moment she opened her mouth, he had already recognized her. He could never have imagined that after so many years, this woman would become an elder of the Cloud Sky Sect.
Although Wang Lin's avatar's cultivation level wasn't high enough, his eyes were very sharp. This woman's cultivation level had already reached the early stage of Core Formation.
If this was any other sect, it would be incredible for the master and disciple to have the same cultivation level, but in the inner courtyard of the Cloud Sky Sect, this was not the case.
The inner courtyard didn't measure everything by cultivation level, but by alchemy.
Therefore, in the inner courtyard of the Cloud Sky Sect, there were often cases where the master's cultivation level was lower than the disciple's. It was just that the Cloud Sky Sect's standards were different from the outside world.
Of course, there were some pills that required one's cultivation level to reach a certain level before they could be refined. Although cultivation level wasn't important, sometimes for alchemy, one had to forcefully increase their cultivation level.
In this world, how many people could be like Li Muwan, who was only at the early stage of Core Formation and was able to refine a rank 5 pill that only Nascent Soul alchemists could refine?
Wang Lin let out a sigh in his heart. 200 years of time wasn't long, but it wasn't short either.
Her appearance was several times better than it was back then. What happened 200 years ago felt like it happened yesterday, but there were mountains and rivers between them, making it difficult to cross.
Wang Lin didn't plan on going up to meet her. His appearance was no longer Ma Liang's, so there was no way that Li Muwan would recognize him.
"What's the matter?" Even Li Muwan's voice contained a hint of melancholy in it.
Wang Lin took a deep breath. He bitterly smiled in his heart and said, "Little … disciple …" Facing an old friend, Wang Lin really couldn't bring himself to say the word "little girl."
After Li Muwan heard Wang Lin's voice again, her body trembled. She waved her right hand and a purple veil appeared over her face. She opened the door and walked out, staring at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin's eyes were calm as he slowly said, "Disciple's pill furnace broke."
Li Muwan carefully looked at Wang Lin for a long time before withdrawing her gaze. Her eyes revealed a complicated expression and she said:
"Are you a person of Chu?"
Wang Lin pondered a bit and nodded.
Li Muwan sighed softly and her demeanor returned to normal.
"The pill furnace broke because the spiritual energy in your body rose too fast, which caused the earth fire to become unstable. This is a common phenomenon. You only need to hold on for one hour, and then it will be solved."
After saying that, she pondered for a while, opened her storage pouch, and took out a pill furnace.
"Since you're Zhou Lin's disciple, I'll give you this pill furnace. If you use this furnace to concoct pills, it will not break within a hundred times. If you still can't control the earth fire after a hundred times, it means you have no talent in alchemy. Give it up as soon as possible and go cultivate in the outer sect."
After saying that, Li Muwan pushed the pill furnace in her hand forward and floated in front of Wang Lin.
Wang Lin caught it and immediately put it into his storage pouch. Although he looked normal, his heart was filled with complicated feelings. Staying in this place for another breath was like being tortured by fire and water. He turned around and was about to leave. "Ma Liang …" Li Muwan suddenly called out softly.
Wang Lin's face showed a startled expression. He turned around and looked at Li Muwan with a puzzled expression.
Li Muwan sighed and said, "You should go. If you have any doubts, you can come and ask me."
After saying that, she turned around and walked toward the loft. Not long after that, the sound of guzheng came from the room again.
This time, there was a sense of melancholy in the music, a sense of sadness and decline.
Wang Lin's face showed a complicated expression. He raised his head and gave a deep look at the figure in the loft's window. He sighed in his heart, then turned around and left.
Inside the loft, Li Muwan put down her finger. After pondering for a while, her eyes suddenly narrowed. She opened the window and looked into the distance. After a long time, she frowned and muttered to herself, "Something's wrong!
How can there be two people in this world with such similar voices?
Even if there is, it's impossible for their expressions to be exactly the same. Especially since this Wang Lin's expression was too calm just now. If it was a normal person, they definitely wouldn't be able to do this. "
Her eyes flashed and her right hand pointed between her eyebrows. Suddenly, a drop of blood flew out. This drop of blood was dark red, but it gave off a chilling aura.
This was the trace of Ji Realm Divine Sense that Wang Lin gave her before he left. It could protect her for a while.
In fact, if it wasn't for this trace of Ji Realm Divine Sense, Li Muwan wouldn't have been able to escape from the Xuan Mu Country's attack.
"But if it really is him, then why didn't this drop of Soul Blood react at all?" Li Muwan bit her lower lip and let out a sigh.
Just at this moment, a clear voice came from outside the loft. "Junior Sister, can you come out and meet me?"
Li Muwan slightly frowned and opened the door. She saw a 1 L Wind Dao Bone middle-aged man smiling at her. This person was gentle and very handsome. He naturally gave off a feeling that made people want to get close to him.
When he saw Li Muwan, his eyes revealed a look of adoration and he gently said, "Junior Sister, I heard you say that you were missing a Dragon Rock Ganoderma. I searched the entire country of Chu and finally found it in the outer region of the Immortal Graveyard."
With that, he took out a jade box from his bag of holding. Inside the box was a purplish-red Dragon Rock Ganoderma that was as thick as an arm.
Li Muwan's eyes were calm. She didn't even look at the jade box and said, "Thank you senior apprentice brother Sun for your kindness, but I have already found a replacement and successfully refined the pill three days ago. Senior apprentice brother should keep the Dragon Rock Ganoderma."
The middle aged man faintly smiled. He placed the jade box on the side and gently said, "Junior apprentice sister, the ancestor is doing this with good intentions. After all, you aren't a direct disciple of the Cloud Sky Sect. If you want to obtain a higher level of alchemy, you must find a direct disciple to cultivate with."
You and I have known each other for a long time. I believe junior apprentice sister understands Yong's feelings for you. "
Li Muwan's eyes became cold. She stared at the middle-aged man and said, word for word, "Don't ever bring this up again!"
The middle-aged man calmly looked at Li Muwan. After a long time, he calmly said, "Junior apprentice sister, when you came from Hou Fen, if it wasn't for me saving you, you would have already died. How have I treated you all these years?
I want to know why you are so determined. "
Li Muwan pondered for a bit. The figure of a person appeared in her mind. After a while, she slowly said, "There is no reason …"
The middle-aged man sighed. His voice was as gentle as ever as he said, "Junior apprentice sister, the ancestor personally gave the order. It is a done deal. You should carefully consider it." With that, he deeply looked at Li Muwan, shook his head, and bitterly smiled as he turned around and left.
Li Muwan quietly stood outside the pavilion. After pondering for a long time, she turned around and went back inside. Her back was so sad and melancholy.
Wang Lin's heart was very complicated as he left the southern courtyard. Just as he crossed the bridge, he saw Cheng Xian looking at him. The moment he saw Wang Lin, he immediately walked up and said, "Senior apprentice brother, how was it? Did things go smoothly?"
Wang Lin looked at him and said, "Let's go."
Cheng Xian was waiting for this sentence. He immediately beamed with joy and quickly said, "Senior Martial Brother, it's getting late. We should hurry up. Wait here, I'll call two beasts over."
After saying that, he put his right hand in his mouth and blew hard. An ear-piercing whistle immediately spread out.
Shortly after, the roars of beasts came from the distance.
Wang Lin looked up and saw two black shadows, one big and one small, suddenly leaping from the distance and galloping over.
Not long after, the black shadows gradually approached and landed a hundred feet in front of Cheng Xian. Impressively, they were the two Spirit Apes. The Spirit Ape Big Bass was nearly one and a half feet tall, while the smaller one was also nearly ten feet tall. Their arms were on their knees, and their eyes were red. They bared their teeth at Cheng Xian, showing their anger.
Cheng Xian coughed and said loudly, "I just borrowed something from you and haven't returned it. Do you have to do this? After all, we have been friends for more than ten years. How about this, you ask the two of us to go to the East Courtyard, and I will give you that thing?"
The two Spirit Apes panted heavily as they made some sounds. After looking at each other, one of them suddenly clawed at Cheng Xian.
Cheng Xian didn't dodge and allowed the claw to grab him. This apprentice spirit ape, which was slightly bigger than the others, grabbed his clothes and threw him up, throwing him onto its body. Immediately after, its figure was as fast as II.
Then it moved as fast as lightning and ran into the distance.
At this moment, the smaller spirit ape looked at Wang Lin with anger in its eyes. After roaring a few times, it clawed at Wang Lin. Wang Lin's eyes lit up and he moved to the side. At the same time, he jumped onto the back of the ape. The ape didn't mind and immediately chased after Wang Lin.
The speed of the spirit ape was extremely fast. Sitting on its back, it was like riding on a cloud. Cheng Xian, who was in front, seemed to enjoy this a lot. After letting out a few strange sounds, he took out a bag of wine from his bag of holding and took a big gulp. He laughed and said, "Riding an ape to the East Courtyard, in the entire Cloud Sky Sect, only I, Cheng Xian, can do this, haha.
Wang Lin bitterly smiled. Although this Cheng Xian was a bit sneaky, he was not annoying. Although Wang Lin was disturbed by him, he didn't care too much. On the contrary, when he saw Cheng Xian like this, the complicated feeling in his heart of meeting an old friend eased a bit.
Cheng Xian threw the bag of wine at Wang Lin. Wang Lin raised his right hand and caught it. After looking at Cheng Xian, Li Muwan's sad expression echoed in his mind. He couldn't help but put the bag of wine next to his mouth and take a big gulp.
Today, he was showing off for no reason. His cold hadn't recovered yet, yet he went to take a bath. When he came out, the wind blew and his cold got worse. His head hurt even more than before.
He clenched his teeth and wrote 1000 words in a daze. He really couldn't continue. If only tomorrow would be better.
