Chapter 337 Wu Daozi
Xiao Lin did not expect that the murderer of his master's wife was actually Grandma Yuanbao of Qianfu Sect.
It was really a narrow road for enemies. Meng Huojiao attacked him at the top of Tiandu Peak and was killed by him. Grandma Yuanbao would definitely not give up and would come to him sooner or later.
However, as long as he stayed in Dancao Mountain for one day, Grandma Yuanbao would not be able to do anything to him. With the presence of Patriarch Tianyi, he would never allow Grandma Yuanbao to act recklessly in Dancao Mountain even for his own face.
But as long as he left Dancao Mountain, he had to be extra careful. Grandma Yuanbao was not an ordinary Jindan cultivator, but a Jindan Great Perfection cultivator. If he ran into her, he would probably not be able to escape.
Xiao Lin's face was full of doubts. After knowing the origin of the Soul Hoop Grass, he would definitely go to the Ice Phoenix Valley. There were still more than ten years before the opening of the Dutian Xiaohan Realm, so he didn't need to go so early.
Xiao Lin was wondering whether he should hide in the sect and practice in seclusion during this period.
However, he did not have the third-level elixir recipe now. If he relied on his own bones to practice hard behind closed doors, the speed of improvement would definitely not be optimistic. Instead of doing so, it would be better to go out and travel to see if he could have a chance.
After thinking for half an hour, Xiao Lin gradually showed a firm look on his face. A thick dark green escape light rushed into the sky and flew towards the distance. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared in the vast night.
......
Three months later, Xiao Lin woke up from his meditation and sighed slightly. As he had guessed, after entering the late stage of foundation building, the effect of the five elements elixir became weaker and weaker.
If this goes on, even if he can practice to the peak of the late stage of foundation building, it will probably take decades. This is not good news for Xiao Lin.
After coming out of the practice room, Xiao Lin first went to the spirit beast room and observed the soul-devouring fire Gu. At this moment, in the side room on the right, the ground was full of white insect pupae. After devouring each other, the remaining nearly a thousand soul-devouring fire Gu had entered a state of extinction.
In the side room on the left, the two true-level soul-devouring fire insects were still lying quietly in the cracks of the wall, and there were some gray-white insect pupae scattered on the ground. These insect pupae had obviously entered the late stage of dormancy and would soon break out of the cocoon.
Of course, if they could not wake up from the dormancy in the end, they would be completely dead.
Xiao Lin gave the two true-level soul-devouring fire insects an order through his spiritual consciousness, and once someone entered the spirit beast room, they would attack with all their strength. After receiving the order, the two true-level soul-devouring fire insects flew out of the side room one after another, flew to the stone door of the spirit beast room, and lay quietly, looking lazy.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin showed a satisfied look on his face.
"Swoosh." At this time, a spiritual light flew from outside the cave, passed directly through the inverted five-element soul-locking formation arranged by Xiao Lin, and flew in front of Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin's expression did not change. He stretched out his hand gently, and a small sword with a pale yellow spiritual light appeared above his palm. A yellow light shot out from the sword, and a line of words flashed.
"Master has returned to the mountain. Come to Qinghuo Cave to meet him."
The words lasted for a few short breaths, and then disappeared. The small sword in Xiao Lin's hand also turned into a pale yellow spiritual light in the sky, dissipated and disappeared.
Xiao Lin showed a thoughtful expression on his face, but after a slight hesitation, he left his cave and turned into a dark green escape light, flying towards Qinghuo Peak.
Qinghuo Cave is located at the top of Qinghuo Peak. It is a naturally formed earth fire cave, and the cave of Wu Daozi, the great alchemist, is located in Qinghuo Cave, which is indeed very suitable for him.
A thick dark green escape light flew from outside the mountain, came to the thick mountainside of Qinghuo Peak, and then circled up. It was only a cup of tea, and the escape light came to the top of Qinghuo Peak.
The entire Qinghuo Peak is very flat, but in the center is a huge fire cave, which occupies more than half of the area of the Qinghuo Peak. A dark red halo flashes from the fire cave, and a hot breath spreads out at the same time.
The dark green escape light dissipated, and Xiao Lin's figure appeared. He came to the fire cave, looked down inside, and then bowed and saluted: "Disciple Xiao Lin, meet Uncle Wu."
Although Wu Daozi is also a Jindan cultivator and one of the three great alchemists in Dancao Mountain, he is younger than Su Qingyun. Therefore, although Xiao Lin treats him as a disciple, he calls him Uncle.
A green escape light shot out from the Qinghuo Cave, flew into the air for several feet, and then landed beside Xiao Lin. The escape light dissipated, and Tao Ling, wearing a green robe, appeared in front of Xiao Lin.
"Xiao Lin meets Sister Tao." Xiao Lin smiled and bowed to Tao Ling.
"Junior Brother Xiao, you don't have to be so polite to me. My master just returned to the mountain the day before yesterday. I heard that he got a lot of good materials this time and was in a good mood. So I, Senior Sister, struck while the iron was hot and introduced you to Master."
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
"Tao Ling, it seems that a girl is really not worth keeping when she grows up. Now her arms are starting to bend outward. She speaks for this boy." At this time, a slightly old voice came from the Green Fire Cave.
Hearing this, Tao Ling's pretty face suddenly turned red, her face was full of shyness, and her pair of lotus feet also stomped the ground, like a little woman.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin showed a surprised expression on his face. He had never seen such a shy look of a little woman before, and he was stunned for a moment.
Seeing the surprise and daze on Xiao Lin's face, Tao Ling's pretty face turned as red as blood. She wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in immediately. After giving Xiao Lin a fierce look, she turned into a ray of green light and headed towards Qing Huo. The hole flew down.
Xiao Lin also came back to his senses at this time, thinking that Tao Ling, who usually looked dignified and virtuous, could have the shy posture of such a little woman, he couldn't help but smile, and then turned into a dark green light, also towards the Qinghuo Cave Fly down.
After entering the Qinghuo Cave, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that the Qinghuo Cave that ran through the entire Qinghuo Peak was surprisingly large, and its depth was more than a thousand feet. Soon Xiao Lin saw Tao Ling not far below.
Thousands of feet below the Qinghuo Cave, there is continuously rolling and surging magma, and hundreds of feet above the magma, there is a protruding rock, and Tao Ling has already landed on that rock.
At the end of the rock, close to the mountain, is a dark cave, on which two ancient seal characters "Green Fire" can be vaguely seen.
Needless to say, that cave was Wu Daozi's training cave.
Xiao Lin turned into an escaping light and landed on the rock. Tao Ling was waiting at the entrance of the cave. When he saw Xiao Lin revealing his figure, he turned his head, glanced at Xiao Lin from the corner of his eye, and entered the cave.
Xiao Lin was secretly depressed. The old man Wu Daozi's joke made him suffer an unreasonable disaster. It was really unfair.
However, Xiao Lin wanted to ask Wu Daozi for this trip, so he naturally did not dare to neglect and followed Tao Ling into the dark cave without hesitation.
After entering the cave, Xiao Lin discovered that the surroundings were not pitch black. Instead, the surrounding cave walls were dotted with dozens of fist-sized white beads. These beads emitted a white halo, illuminating the entire corridor as if it were daytime. .
Xiao Lin followed Tao Ling through the long corridor. After traveling for more than ten feet, a dark stone door appeared in front of them. It looked extremely heavy.
But at this moment, the dark stone door has been opened, revealing the scenery inside. As soon as he passed through the dark stone door, a hot breath hit his face, which made Xiao Lin secretly surprised. He, who had practiced the cold attribute technique, was so hot. The aura enveloped him, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
As the mana in Xiao Lin's Dantian slowly began to flow through his meridians, a sense of coolness instantly flowed through his body, and the burning sensation immediately disappeared without a trace.
Passing through the dark stone gate, Xiao Lin saw in front of him a fire pool several feet in size. In the center of the fire pool stood a red cylindrical rock. On the rock was an alchemy furnace with a faint silver light.
And the cylindrical rock was obviously hollow, and balls of dark purple flames spurted out from it, constantly burning the bottom of the alchemy furnace.
Xiao Lin glanced briefly and saw an old man in his fifties sitting on a rock not far away. The old man had white hair and looked messy, but his face was like that of a baby.
Moreover, his body sitting cross-legged on the rock is also extremely thin. If it weren't for the white hair, one might mistakenly think that he is just a seven or eight-year-old child. Needless to say, this person is Tao Ling's master Wu Daozi.
Wu Daozi's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, bursting out with a bright blue light. Xiao Lin felt a huge spiritual pressure suddenly sweep over him, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. In front of this hot fire pool , to have this feeling really made Xiao Lin secretly sigh.
"Are you the Xiao Lin that Tao Ling mentioned to me?" Wu Daozi said slowly after his spiritual consciousness swept over Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin did not dare to be negligent and bowed to Wu Daozi: "Disciple Xiao Lin, pay your respects to Master Wu."
Waving his hand, Wu Daozi said: "Let's skip this set of vulgar etiquette. I have no interest in meeting you originally, but firstly, Su Qingyun is also a casual cultivator, and in the sect, he is quite close to me. Secondly, Su Qingyun is also a casual cultivator. Come on, it’s this girl Tao Ling who praises you as being unparalleled in heaven and earth, so I’m a little curious, how can Tao girl praise you so much with her high-minded personality?”
Seeing a look of embarrassment flash across Tao Lingjiao's red face, Wu Daozi immediately shut up and laughed "hehe" twice before continuing: "It's a pity. It's not as good as being famous if you meet me. I'm watching you." The spiritual roots are mixed and impure, and at most I think they have the qualifications of a true spiritual root. This kind of qualification can be cultivated to the late stage of foundation building. "
After hearing this, Xiao Lin remained calm on the surface, but he was secretly wary in his heart. Although Xiao Lin did not think that Master Wu would be detrimental to him, he did not want to be suspected and have any bad intentions towards him.
