Chapter 52: Immortal

The next morning, Xiao Lin woke up from his meditation and felt the mana in his body surging. He showed a happy look on his face. After this period of recuperation, his injuries had completely recovered. He didn't know whether the injuries stimulated his potential or other reasons. Xiao Lin felt that his cultivation had improved a lot, which brought him one step closer to the peak of the sixth level.

After Xiao Lin left the room, he went downstairs leisurely, had some breakfast, and then left the inn and strolled around in Huai County. Although the Broken Sky Cliff of Funiushan was dozens of miles away from Huai County, this distance was just a cup of tea for Xiao Lin, so he was not in a hurry.

He had admired Huai County since he was a child. Even the destination of his escape with his father and sister was Huai County. Now that he had the opportunity, he would naturally travel around. In Xiao Lin's opinion, once he settled his father and sister and confirmed that they were safe, he would leave this prosperous mortal world and embark on the road of cultivation to seek immortals. Xiao Lin had no confidence in how far he could go on this road. Perhaps, in the cave trial in the near future, he would become one of the withered bones.

Although Huai County was not as magnificent as Wuyin Xiancheng, it covered a large area with a diameter of 40 to 50 miles. In this mortal world, such a county was almost equivalent to a small or medium-sized city. Moreover, compared with cultivators, the number of mortals was much larger. The entire Huai County was a prosperous scene, with people coming and going on the streets, almost rubbing shoulders with each other.

There were many shops and vendors selling all kinds of small things. Xiao Lin looked at a few six or seven-year-old children who were surrounding an old man selling candied haws not far away. The old man seemed to be a little dizzy from the children's spinning. He took out a few strings of candied haws and distributed them to the children. At this time, the families behind the children seemed to feel embarrassed and came to pay, which made Xiao Lin smile.

These people in front of him were completely unaware of the turbulent situation in Huai County. The collision between Baihuamen and Bailiantang would inevitably lead to the destruction of countless families and the separation of wives and children. But for most ordinary people, no matter who took over Huai County, they would live the same life. As long as they could have a job to make a living, they would be satisfied.

Xiao Lin couldn't help but sigh softly. Once upon a time, he yearned for the legendary "immortals" so much. He had also long admired those "martial arts masters". But when he really became a cultivator, he found that compared with the bloody battles between martial arts masters, the open and secret struggles between cultivators were even more tragic. Once a cultivator fell, most of his spirits would be killed, and he would not even be qualified to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.

In comparison, whether it was a martial arts master or an ordinary mortal, they lived happier than himself, and there was no such terrible experience as the destruction of both body and soul.

The cultivators fought for their lives with the sky, which made Xiao Lin really understand that if he wanted to live forever, he had to make unimaginable efforts and take many uncertain risks. Everything was clear.

After walking around Huai County for two hours, Xiao Lin looked up at the sky and whispered to himself: "It seems that the time is almost up."

With a slight shake, Xiao Lin's body disappeared on the streets of Huai County, as if there was no one there. Not far away, a ragged child of seven or eight years old rubbed his eyes vigorously, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Funiu Mountain Broken Sky Cliff.

On the ridge of Funiushan Mountain, which is hundreds of feet high, a green boulder protrudes. The ground above this green boulder is flat, covering an area of ​​hundreds of feet. The whole green boulder is close to the cliff of hundreds of feet, and the terrain is very dangerous.

But at this moment, there are many people on the rocks and trees around the Broken Sky Cliff of Funiushan Mountain. They are either sitting or standing, but they are all concentrating on the blue stone, or more precisely, the two groups of people on the blue stone.

On one side, there were a dozen women. In front of them, eight young girls were carrying a huge recliner that was disproportionate to their slender bodies. A gauze curtain was placed above the recliner, covering a graceful body lying horizontally inside.

On the other side, it was just the opposite. There were men with swords on their backs. They all wore gray long gowns, but at this moment, the long swords on their backs were already in their hands. They seemed very nervous, looking at the opposite side with fearful eyes. In front of these people, two people stood side by side. One of them looked to be in his forties, with a fair complexion, a short beard, and wearing a brocade green robe. Next to him stood a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. The young man had a bronze face, a heroic look, sword-like eyebrows, and starry eyes. He wore a light green robe and a silver shoulder guard on his left shoulder. He frowned slightly, crossed his chest with his hands, and looked at the opposite side.

A person appeared silently on a tree several feet high, more than ten feet away from the bluestone. No one on the bluestone, including those watching the excitement, noticed that there was a person here suddenly, as if there was already a person on the tree.

Xiao Lin frowned and glanced at the people on the cliff. His eyes lit up. He saw at a glance that the bronze youth next to the middle-aged man in his forties was his good friend and buddy Xiao Shi. The middle-aged man next to him was Shangguan Hong, the head of Bailian Hall. Xiao Lin even saw Wu Lian's figure among the disciples of Bailian Hall behind him, which made Xiao Lin couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile on his face.

However, he did not say anything, but crossed his arms and stepped on the branches, looking like he was watching the fun. At this time, a man in his thirties who was not far from Xiao Lin saw Xiao Lin and was stunned.

People who were far away might not be able to see clearly, but he was closest to Xiao Lin, so he could see clearly. The young man who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old was actually stepping on a green leaf on the top of the tree. What was even more strange was that the man did not move at all, as if he had merged with the leaves. This made him feel like he had seen a ghost, and he could not help rubbing his eyes hard, but when he looked over again, it was still the same, which made him dumbfounded.

As if sensing the man's gaze, the young man suddenly turned his head and smiled at the man in the martial arts world, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. This made the man in his thirties change his face and quickly looked away, with an expression as if nothing had happened, but the fear in his eyes completely revealed his guilty conscience.

Xiao Lin did not care, and turned his head again and looked at the cliff.

After half an hour, a very gentle voice came from the huge recliner: "It seems that the rumors are true. I think this is the young master who has recently debuted in Bailian Hall. He is indeed a talented person. I am really reluctant to take action." Hearing this, Shangguan Hong said: "The immortal immortal, your Baihua Sect has always been in charge of the most prosperous and largest city in Nanzhou, Yushi City, and Yangping County. One of these two places is famous for its abundant jade and the other for producing purple bamboo. They are both the most profitable businesses in Nanzhou. Isn't this enough? You even don't let go of the small Huai County?" Xiao Lin smiled. Shangguan Hong was obviously at a disadvantage in terms of momentum. Maybe he didn't think he could defeat the immortal immortal. After Shangguan Hong finished speaking, the laughter of the immortal immortal came from the recliner: "There can only be one gang in Nanzhou, that is our Baihua Sect. There is really no need for Bailian Hall to exist. Otherwise, Shangguan Hall Master will merge into our Baihua Sect, and Huai County will still be run by you, but we only need to give 90% of the annual harvest to Baihua Sect."

"What a big tone, old witch, others are afraid of your Baihua Sect, but I, Xiao Shi, am not. Come, let me see your immortal magic, whether it is really as magical as the legend." Xiao Shi on the side glared, shouted angrily, and said in a cold voice.

"This kid is still courageous." Xiao Lin showed a touch of approval on his face. Xiao Shi has always been fearless. It seems that in his heart, there is only one word, that is "do it". From childhood to adulthood, Xiao Shi has taken them to steal peaches from the orchard of the landlord Wang, and every time he was caught and beaten to pieces, he would never give Xiao Lin and the others up.

"You are so arrogant, kid. It seems that you have learned several levels of the Hundred Refining Heart Sutra and really think you can compete with me. Well, let me teach you a lesson and let you know what it means that there are always people who are better than you." The gauze curtain above the recliner suddenly opened, and a graceful woman shot out from it. The woman was extremely charming, with willow eyebrows, almond eyes, a beautiful nose and a small mouth. In Xiao Lin's opinion, this immortal was slightly inferior to the enchanting woman he killed in Shuiyun Valley, but she also had a bit of enchanting aura. In this mortal world, she was also considered a beauty. The immortal rose into the air and pushed his palms towards Xiao Shi. Suddenly, the energy was like a mountain, and the surrounding air made a tearing sound. Xiao Shi's face was solemn, and he shouted: "Come on." His legs stepped on the horse stance fiercely, exhaled and made a deep sound, and pushed his palms towards the sky at the same time. Under the flow of energy, a masculine energy surged from his palms. The palms of the immortal and Xiao Shi collided, and a whirlwind blew up within three feet around the two of them, and then the ground exploded one after another, as if it was buried with explosives.

Shangguan Hong's face changed, and he hurriedly retreated several feet, with a look of horror on his face.

The crowd around them suddenly made a commotion, as if they were surprised by the amazing skills of the two people, but Xiao Lin's face was calm. In his opinion, after the internal energy of the two burst out and collided, the power was dispersed, and the power of the cultivators was not only different in quality, but also far inferior in the degree of concentration of power.

This made Xiao Lin, who was full of expectations, lose interest immediately, but he still looked at the battlefield. After all, one side was his brother, and he must not make any mistakes.

For ordinary people in the martial arts world, this battle between the two can naturally be called the sun and the moon, it is extremely exciting. Explosions continue to sound on the cliff, and the figures of the two people are like a dream, constantly colliding, and the deafening sound caused by the collision of qi also makes many people who are watching shake their minds and unable to control themselves.
