Wang Lin pushed open the door and saw Yi Chenzi standing outside, smiling and clasping his hands.
"Fellow Daoist is too polite, please come in," said Wang Lin with a smile.
To the north of the courtyard, there was a pavilion. It wasn't very large, but it was extremely beautiful. There were carvings of dragons and phoenixes, and it was made entirely of celestial jade. There was also a spirit gathering formation around it, causing the celestial spiritual energy around the pavilion to circulate in a permanent cycle.
Outside the pavilion, there was a small river that flowed by. The sound of the water was soft, as if it could sweep away the mortal world.
There were a few small green fish swimming around. Occasionally, some would jump out of the water and fall back into the water, creating a splash that turned into ripples.
Inside the pavilion, the middle-aged man in the purple robe and the old man in the green robe sat across from each other. Between them was a stone table. The stone table was made of white jade, and it seemed to be glowing.
There was also a beautiful young woman standing next to them. Her large eyes glittered as she looked at Yi Chenzi and Wang Lin walking toward them.
When Wang Lin and Yi Chenzi got closer, the middle-aged man and the old man in the green robe stood up. They smiled and clasped their hands toward Wang Lin.
"Brother Wang, please," said the middle-aged man with a smile as he pointed to the side.
Wang Lin looked at the pavilion, and his gaze fell on the beautiful young woman looking at him.
This woman was also a Cultivator, but her cultivation level wasn't very high. She was only at the Nascent Soul stage.
She was extremely beautiful, and there was a sense of innocence to her. This was something that was very rare in the Cultivation world.
Only those who were doted on by someone with a very high cultivation level, who didn't want them to come into contact with the cruelty of the Cultivation world, could keep their innocence.
This woman's appearance was somewhat similar to Yi Chenzi's.
Noticing that Wang Lin was looking at her, the young woman's face turned red and she quickly lowered her head. However, she would occasionally glance at Wang Lin with a curious expression.
Wang Lin faintly smiled. With his intelligence, he naturally saw through the intentions of the three Chen brothers. After all, there was still some conflict between them. Although it wasn't a big one, anything could happen in the cultivation world. The three of them were afraid that if they asked him to come here alone, it would cause a misunderstanding. Also, this matter couldn't be discussed, so they called this woman, who was obviously their relative, to accompany them. This indirectly showed that they had no ill intentions.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought a Nascent Soul junior.
After everyone sat down, Master Yi Chen called the girl over. He smiled and introduced her to Wang Lin. "Brother Wang, this is a junior from my family. This child isn't sensible and insisted on coming. I hope fellow cultivator can take care of her in the future."
As he spoke, he looked at the girl with a solemn expression and said in a low voice, "Ling 'er, this is Senior Wang, a powerful being. Even I have to respect him. To have the chance to meet him, it can be considered your fortune."
The young woman blinked and bowed at Wang Lin. She softly said, "Ling Er greets senior." This woman's voice was very pleasant to listen to. It was like the chirping of a lark. Once it entered one's ears, it could melt into one's bones.
Wang Lin carefully looked at the woman, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, I'm sure you've already noticed that my granddaughter was born with a water spirit body. Everything else has been concealed by this old man, but this old man's cultivation is unable to completely conceal her voice.
"I can only keep her by my side. Otherwise, with her talent, she will be used as a cultivation cauldron by people with bad intentions." Yi Chenzi bitterly smiled.
Wang Lin nodded. A water spirit body was the most suitable to be used as a cultivation cauldron. However, with this woman by Yi Chenzi's side, he didn't have to worry about anything else. Very few people would dare to steal a woman from the three Chen brothers. It was not worth it to offend them because of this.
Although the three Chen brothers looked like they were just three people, if there was a life or death crisis, they would be able to find a lot of people to help them. This way, they would be a very powerful force.
The moment he heard the beautiful woman's voice, Wang Lin entered a trance for a moment. Although he quickly recovered, he didn't know why, but he felt very bitter. This bitterness was very strong, as if he was waking up a sealed memory.
"She also has a natural water spirit body …" Wang Lin let out a sigh in his heart. There were some things that couldn't be forgotten. There were some pains that couldn't be sealed for a lifetime.
Whenever he encountered a similar scene, it would unconsciously be opened. Every time it was touched, it would cause an unconcealable pain in his heart.
After letting out a sigh, Wang Lin's gaze once again fell on the beautiful woman. The woman was a bit nervous. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Wang Lin.
Wang Lin gently patted his bag of holding and a straw hat appeared in his hand. Looking at the straw hat, Wang Lin felt like he was looking at Yun Quezi from the past. He placed the straw hat on the table and calmly said, "This was given to me by an old friend. It can hide all auras. After fellow cultivator Yi Chenzi refines it, perhaps it will be a bit stronger. Why don't you give it to this child?"
The woman wrinkled her nose. She clearly felt that the straw hat was a bit ugly.
Yi Chenzi's eyes revealed a strange light. He picked up the straw hat and carefully looked at it. He said with surprise, "Brother Wang, although this isn't a celestial treasure, it is very exquisite. There are many restrictions inside, so much so that I can't see through them all. When these restrictions are combined together, they can completely hide all auras. If you meet someone who understands restrictions, they can use this straw hat to multiply countless restrictions and increase their restriction cultivation. Brother Wang, this item is a bit heavy …"
As soon as the woman heard this, her eyes revealed a look of interest.
Wang Lin shook his head and said, "This item is useless to me. Why don't you give it to this child?"
Yi Chenzi hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head in thanks.
Looking at the woman, Wang Lin's gaze softened. He slapped his bag of holding and took out three bells. He smiled and said, "I'll give these to you as well."
The woman's eyes filled with joy as she accepted the bells. When she shook them, a crisp sound echoed out. She immediately smiled happily. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them. She turned to Wang Lin and said, "Ling 'er thanks Senior."
Her voice was even more seductive than before, but to Wang Lin, it didn't bother him at all.
Yi Chenzi looked at the bells. Based on his experience, he could tell that they were extraordinary. He sighed inwardly, then stood up and clasped his hands toward Wang Lin. He said, "Wang Daoyou, this Old Man thanks you."
He felt very ashamed in his heart. It was the three of them who had provoked Wang Lin, and now his descendant had received a gift from Wang Lin. He sat down, pondered a bit, then took out a black stone and said, "Wang Daoyou, please accept this Heavenly Underworld Stone. At my cultivation level, I need Heavenly Underworld Stones to store my origin soul to create an avatar or to store powerful spells. If you don't accept it, the Old Man will be ashamed."
Wang Lin smiled as he picked up the stone and scanned it with his divine sense. Although his expression was normal, his heart was moved. This black stone was very strange. There were many small holes inside that gave off a strange aura. Not only could it store divine sense, but it could also store spells in advance. It was similar to the Forsaken Immortal Clan's talismans.
Besides that, if one willed it, one could even form an illusory clone through this stone, and it could be considered to be an extremely practical treasure.
Although this treasure wasn't extremely precious, it was still rare. Wang Lin nodded and put it away inside his bag.
Master Yi Chen pointed at the green-robed old man and smiled. "The Old Man is muddle-headed. I haven't introduced my two junior brothers yet. This is the Old Man's second junior brother, Liu Yuelong. His dao name is Yi Long Zi."
The green-robed old man got up, clasped his hands at Wang Lin, and smiled. "Titles are just worldly possessions. The title of Yi Long Zi is a bit arrogant before Brother Wang. Brother Wang can just call me by my real name."
"This is my third junior brother, Zhen Xinghan. His dao name is Yi Xing Zi."
The purple-robed middle-aged man had the lowest cultivation level. Although he was also at the mid stage of Nirvana Scryer, he was obviously not as strong as Yi Long Zi. He stood up and respectfully said, "Brother Wang can also call me by my real name."
"I wonder what Brother Wang's dao name is?" After Master Yi Chen finished his introduction, he looked at Wang Lin.
In the cultivation world, although there were dao names among low level cultivators, most of them weren't popular and were only known by a small circle. They simply couldn't compare to the dao names of powerful cultivators, and the meaning behind them was also very different.
In the cultivation circle of second step cultivators, dao names were often a symbol of mutual recognition and the epitome of their spells.
Wang Lin still didn't have a dao name. If he did, it would be the one he gave to him back in the Luo Tian Star System, Master Demon!
After pondering a bit, Wang Lin calmly said, "Wang's dao name is Master Demon!"
After he spoke, Master Yi Chen and company immediately felt a sense of blood and slaughter from the bottom of their hearts. It was as if Wang Lin had suddenly turned into an ancient beast that possessed a monstrous killing intent.
"Wang just returned from another place and didn't stay on planet Tian Yun for long, so I presume the three of you haven't heard of him." Wang Lin picked up the wine cup and took a sip.
With his ancient god body, aside from a few extremely rare poisons from ancient times, none of the poisons in the world could poison him.
After scanning with his divine sense, Wang Lin was certain.
When he put down the wine cup, the beautiful girl named Ling Er walked up and filled Wang Lin's cup with wine. Then she returned to Master Yi Chen's side and occasionally looked at Wang Lin.
Master Yi Chen and company returned to normal and began to chat with Wang Lin. As they chatted, they began to discuss dao.
Time slowly passed. As the four of them talked, it was time for the moon to be high in the sky, and they became familiar with each other. A gentle breeze blew by. Master Yi Chen picked up the wine cup, drank it, and sighed.
"On the path of dao, everyone is separated from the mortal world. Only by doing this can one isolate themselves from everything and focus on the dao of the heavens and earth.
Unfortunately, even though the Old Man can sever everything in his life, he still can't sever the word 'family'. "
"There is no need to sever it. Cultivators aren't even afraid of the heavens and earth, so why should they be afraid of the heart?
First bow, happy mid-autumn festival everyone!
