Chapter 241 Return to Dancao Mountain

"Bang, bang, bang." All nine dragon-shaped sword energies hit the blue shield.

With each impact, the gray-robed old man's body in the void retreated a few feet. By the time all nine dragon-shaped sword energies had collided, the azure shield in front of the gray-robed old man had become extremely dim and almost invisible.

"Uh." A stream of blood overflowed from the corner of the gray-robed old man's mouth, and his face was frighteningly pale.

Under the blow of Xiao Lin's master Su Qingyun's cold sword energy, the gray-robed old man also suffered some internal injuries.

However, this was also due to the carelessness of the gray-robed old man, and from the beginning, he planned to capture Lin Xueying alive, so when he took action, he did not kill her.

After the green sword he issued struck the five-color aura in front of Lin Xueying, a large aura immediately erupted, and the five-color aura also dimmed by half.

"Come here quickly and enter the white circle of light next to me." When the old man in gray robe was injured, Xiao Lin felt that the overwhelming power on his body suddenly disappeared. Overjoyed, Lin Xueying's anxious voice came to his ears. .

Without thinking, Xiao Lin casually grabbed a handful of yellow talismans from his storage bag and threw them all towards the gray-robed old man without looking at their grade.

Then thick black mist appeared on his body. The black mist dissipated, and Xiao Lin's figure appeared in the white halo next to Lin Xueying.

"Get up." Lin Xueying also had blood flowing from the corner of her mouth. When she saw Xiao Lin entering the white circle of light, she gave a light drink.

The white aperture suddenly emitted a thick white light, wrapping Xiao Lin and Lin Xueying inside.

"I want to run away, I want to die." Inadvertently, he was injured by an ant in the foundation building stage. The old man in gray robe was immediately furious. The green long sword once again flashed a thick green aura and slashed at the multi-colored light shield above Lin Xueying's head. Down.

Just now, he had not used all his strength to capture Lin Xueying alive, but now he was so angry that he could not hold back. Infused with the condensed mana of the Golden Core Stage monks, the green sword fell from the sky like a stream of light.

"Bang." The five-colored light shield shattered like glass under this shocking blow, and the azure long sword slashed downwards again with sword energy flowing horizontally and vertically.

"Boom." An earth-shaking loud noise spread.

...

The old man in gray robe looked at the huge crater dozens of feet wide at his feet, his expression gloomy to the extreme.

With his cultivation level at the Golden Core stage, he hunted down two juniors at the Foundation Establishment stage, and actually let them escape from him. Once word spread, he would probably become a laughing stock in the cultivation world.

He glanced at the direction of Xuelaoguan, and in the end he could only sigh slightly, and then flew towards the depths of the thousands of miles of snowfield.

Xuelaoguan is a stronghold set up by the five major sects in Tianlu to defend against the monsters on the thousands of miles of snowy plains. In fact, it is also more to defend against the invasion of the ancient Xuan Sect. Therefore, there are golden elixir monks stationed in it all year round.

Moreover, Xuelao Pass also has a city protection formation. No matter how confident the gray-robed old man is, he does not think that he can kill the two juniors from the heavily guarded Xuelao Pass.

So after careful consideration, I had no choice but to choose to leave.

...

Inside the city of Xuelaoguan.

There is a secret room more than ten feet deep in a remote house. The secret room was originally dark.

Suddenly, the entire secret room was illuminated by a bright white light, and a spiral white spiritual light circled past. A moment later, Xiao Lin and Lin Xueying appeared in the secret room.

The two looked at each other, and both saw the look of joy in each other's eyes.

"I didn't expect that even the Golden Core cultivator would be involved." Lin Xueying took a deep breath and said with lingering fear.

"Finally, there is no danger. Where is this place?" Xiao Lin glanced around, and then saw some fragments of materials scattered on the ground.

"This is a house in Xuelaoguan. Before I set off for Ruanzhou, I set up a temporary one-way transmission formation here to prepare for emergencies. I thought I wouldn't have a chance to use it, but I didn't expect it to be used. This magic circle saved our lives."

"Xuelao Pass." After hearing these three words, Xiao Lin felt completely relieved. Xuelao Pass has a city protection formation, and as the outpost of the five major sects in the Tianlu Mountains, there are golden elixirs available all year round. The monks were stationed there, and even the gray-robed old man didn't dare to come here.

Under Lin Xueying's guidance, the two left the secret room and came to the house. The house looked like it had not been inhabited for a long time and was overgrown with weeds.

Lin Xueying looked at Xiao Lin, thought for a moment, and said, "What are your plans, fellow Daoist Xiao?"

"What other plan could there be? After poking such a big hornet's nest, I would naturally return to the Dancao Mountain to hide. If I were still practicing in the snowfield, it would be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth." Xiao Lin said with a bitter smile.

"In that case, let's say goodbye. From Xuelaoguan to the Tianlu Mountains, they are all within the territory of our five major sects. No one from the Ancient Xuan Sect would dare to set foot here. Even if they dare to go deep into our Tianlu Mountains, Naturally, the seniors in our sect also took action."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin nodded and said, "In that case, Xiao Lin will take his leave. I wish fellow Taoist Lin all the best."

After saying that, Xiao Lin tapped the bag on his waist with his right hand, used the Bingluan Sword and shot out a dark green aura to wrap himself up, then soared into the sky and flew towards the Tianlu Mountains.

Seeing the huge escaping light rising into the sky and disappearing between heaven and earth in the blink of an eye, Lin Xueying's eyes showed a complicated look.

Xiao Lin gave her a very mysterious feeling. He seemed to be not well-known in the Tianlu Mountains, but along the way, he showed amazing fighting power. Even she might not be his opponent, especially the astonishing number of strange spirit insects. Even more than a dozen foundation-building cultivators were defeated and all died.

During these ten days, she felt unprecedentedly relaxed. The restrained feeling in front of the master seemed to disappear.

As Xiao Lin left, Lin Xueying felt a little lost in her heart.

Looking at the sky, after half an hour, she sighed softly, drove the Moon Wheel Spirit Tool, and headed towards the Tianlu Mountains.

…

More than a month later, Xiao Lin returned to his cultivation cave in a dusty state. After a careful inspection and confirming that everything was safe, he entered the secret room, climbed directly onto the stone bed, and fell asleep.

This sleep lasted until the sun rose to the top of the next day. Xiao Lin opened his eyes and showed a satisfied smile on his face.

The pain of running around for days disappeared after this sleep, and the mana in his Dantian also returned to normal, rolling and flowing like fierce waves, one after another.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Xiao Lin looked at the wall of the cave, his face full of thoughtful expression.

After a while, Xiao Lin came to the practice room, sat on the futon, and took out dozens of storage bags. These storage bags were all his gains during this period. Regardless of anything, Xiao Lin poured out all the things in these storage bags.

A large number of items were piled up in front of him like a small mountain. Looking at the various items in front of him, Xiao Lin began to classify them with a smile on his face.

It took three or four hours for Xiao Lin to classify all these things. Among them, there were 37,655 low-grade spirit stones alone, and there was also a thumb-sized light green spirit stone.

It looked very abrupt in this pile of spirit stones.

Moreover, he vaguely remembered that this spiritual stone was found in Shi Zhongbai's storage bag and was placed separately in a sandalwood box. It seemed very precious.

He gently picked up the light green spiritual stone with his hands and put it in front of him to observe carefully.

The low-grade spiritual stones that Xiao Lin had seen were generally only the size of a small ring finger. Although there were some differences, they were generally the same.

However, this light green spiritual stone was much larger than those low-grade spiritual stones, and the spiritual energy emanating from it was also more concentrated, at least several times that of a low-grade spiritual stone.

"Is this a medium-grade spiritual stone?" Xiao Lin showed a thoughtful expression on his face. Since he started practicing Taoism, although he had heard of medium-grade spiritual stones, he had never seen them. Some large shops on the market also had the business of exchanging a medium-grade spiritual stone for a low-grade spiritual stone.

But Xiao Lin had never seen anyone using a medium-grade spiritual stone to exchange for a low-grade spiritual stone. After playing with it in his hand for a while, Xiao Lin carefully put this medium-grade spiritual stone into a jade box and carefully put it away.

Then Xiao Lin casually picked up a palm-sized bell from his side. The bell was bronze in color. It was unknown what kind of material it was made of, but it exuded an ancient and heavy atmosphere.

This bell was the spiritual weapon that Xiao Lin got from Shi Zhongbai after he killed him. However, what made Xiao Lin depressed was that the fish scale intermediate spiritual weapon he got from Shi Zhongbai and the spiritual shield spiritual weapon he got from the strong man.

In order to resist the attack of the gray-robed old man in the Jindan period, they were all chopped to pieces by him, and the two spiritual weapons were completely scrapped.

Just thinking about it, Xiao Lin felt painful, because they were two defensive spiritual weapons.

However, this also made Xiao Lin have a deeper understanding of the horror of Jindan cultivators. Even intermediate spiritual weapons could not withstand the attack of Jindan cultivators. From this, it can be seen that the horror of the Jindan ancestor is.

Xiao Lin put the piled spiritual stones into his storage bag, and then put the pile of materials into a storage bag separately, leaving them for future exchange for spiritual stones.

Then Xiao Lin looked at the small pile of magic tools beside him, gently touched his chin, and showed a hesitant expression on his face.

There were dozens of magic tools in this small pile, but most of them were medium and low-level magic tools. There were only 18 high-level magic tools, and there were 12 top-grade magic tools. Most of these top-grade magic tools were obtained from the storage bags of the inner disciples of the ancient Xuan Sect in the foundation-building period.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Lin collected the 12 top-grade magic tools separately, and as for the remaining magic tools, he placed them together with the pile of materials to be sold in exchange for spirit stones in the future.

After doing all this, Xiao Lin looked at the dozen jade slips, six exquisite jade boxes, seven jade bottles, and seven or eight primary magic talismans in front of him, in addition to a yellowed book.

Xiao Lin first took a preliminary look at some of the items in there. For those jade slips that were obviously low-level techniques, Xiao Lin directly threw them into the storage bag for materials. Only those jade slips that he found a little obscure or advanced were put aside.
