Chapter 840: Luan Bird Soars to the Sky
Time flies, and more than half a year has passed quickly.
One day, on the back mountain of the deserted island, bursts of phoenix calls suddenly sounded, followed by dozens of green phoenix phantoms, which appeared in the void on the mountain peak through the mountain.
The phoenix calls rose and fell, circling over the deserted island.
The villagers of Wujia Village all ran out of the house and looked at the strange scenery in the void. They all knew that there was a powerful immortal master living in seclusion in the back mountain. There were even a few low-level immortal cultivators passing by here. After hearing that there were immortal cultivators in the back mountain, they entered the back mountain to look for them and tried to make friends.
But when these people entered the fog, they found that they had completely lost their direction and could not find the way back. After being trapped for several days, the confusion dissipated by itself, and they left the deserted island in a mess, obviously they would never come back again.
Suddenly, a white light flew from the sky, like a shocking white rainbow, and in a flash, it came to the sky above the deserted mountain.
The white mist covering the barren mountain suddenly began to disperse. A dark green spiritual light flashed, and a handsome young man in his twenties was already standing in the void, smiling at the white-robed woman in the void opposite.
"Brother Xiao, you finally came out of retreat."
The white-robed woman said with a bit of grievance on her pretty face.
"Ninth sister must be tired of playing here, Brother Xiao will take you back to Brother Xiao's sect, okay?" Xiao Lin pointed with one hand, and dozens of phoenixes in the sky immediately manifested into a green long sword, like phoenixes returning to their nests, and shot towards Xiao Lin one after another.
When they came in front of Xiao Lin, they all disappeared with a wave of Xiao Lin's sleeves.
"It seems that Brother Xiao has not only made great progress in his cultivation and advanced to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, but also sacrificed and refined many magic weapons." The grievance on Bai Jiumei's pretty face was swept away, replaced by excitement and surprise.
"Just a little progress." Xiao Lin smiled faintly.
At this time, Xiao Lin looked into the distance, and Bai Jiumei's face also froze, and then revealed a bit of anger.
"I didn't expect these two people to be so ungrateful and dare to follow me. Brother Xiao, wait for me to kill them." Bai Jiumei's face showed a cold look.
"Wait a minute." Xiao Lin waved his hand, signaling Bai Jiumei to be patient. A divine light flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "It turned out to be Ling Daoyou from Liangyi Aurora Hall. The other one must be Fairy Zhong, right?"
As Xiao Lin's voice fell, a spiritual light flashed in the void hundreds of feet away, revealing two people, Yi Tuo Ling Xiu and Zhong Shuangtong.
At this moment, the two looked at each other in surprise. They had previously sent a group of Liangyi Aurora Hall disciples, and basically found out that the white-robed woman was not alone, but there was another man who was secluded on a deserted island for retreat.
After learning the news, they kept their troops on hold, worried about disturbing their spirits, and at the same time, they were also trying their best to explore the origins of the two.
Unfortunately, they had not gained anything for several months. On this day, the two of them could not hold back and wanted to come to pay their respects in the form of passing by by chance to see who the other party was.
So the two of them used the secret art of concealment and followed Bai Jiumei from a distance.
It turned out that after Bai Jiumei returned to the deserted island that day, she saw that Xiao Lin was still in seclusion, and she did not understand the art of formation, so she could not enter Xiao Lin's cave to investigate, so she could only return to her own cave, but after practicing for a few days, she felt extremely bored and returned to Aurora Fairy City.
After a few months, she suddenly received a message from Xiao Lin yesterday, asking her to come back as soon as possible, knowing that Xiao Lin had broken through and was going to take her away from here.
Bai Jiumei was naturally happy in her heart. Although Aurora Fairy City was lively, she was a little tired of playing after several years. She had been looking forward to Xiao Lin taking her away as soon as possible.
What she didn't expect was that someone was so bold as to follow her. If Xiao Lin hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have noticed it. Of course, the main reason was that she was careless. Otherwise, with her spiritual eye secret technique, Ling Xiu and the others would definitely not be able to hide it.
After showing up, Ling Xiu and Zhong Shuangtong looked at Xiao Lin with some doubts.
"It's you?"
Ling Xiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered that the young man in front of him was the Jindan cultivator he met in Liuli Xianfu that year? In Liuli Xianfu that year, Xiao Lin's expression was very eye-catching, which made Ling Xiu remember it deeply.
"You...you have actually advanced to the middle stage of Yuanying?" Zhong Shuangtong also remembered it, and showed an unbelievable expression on her face. When he entered Liuli Xianfu that year, this person was only in the Jindan stage, and now he is in the Jindan stage. Now he has become a middle stage of Yuanying cultivator like himself. This speed is too amazing.
It takes at least two hundred years for a Yuanying early stage cultivator to advance to the middle stage, and this is under the condition that everything goes well, such as sufficient elixirs to improve cultivation and auxiliary drugs to break through bottlenecks. In addition, it takes a certain amount of time to comprehend the nature of heaven and earth, so as to improve the realm and meet the conditions for advancement.
It has been less than a hundred years since they entered Liuli Xianfu, and this person has already cultivated to the middle stage of Yuanying. This speed is probably rare in the history of Tiangu Continent.
Ling Xiu also showed a stunned expression and looked at Xiao Lin for a long time without saying a word.
"I wonder what you two have to say about me, following behind?" Xiao Lin looked at the two and said with a smile. Back then, he and the two were not in an equal state due to the gap in realm. Now that he has advanced to the middle stage of Yuanying, he is naturally incomparable with those years.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao is truly a natural talent. He has leaped from the Golden Core Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage in less than a hundred years. This really surprises me."
"Fellow Daoist Ling is too modest. I just had a small opportunity, which is not worth mentioning." Xiao Lin said with a smile.
Yi Tuo Ling Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this. He thought that it took him a hundred years to break through the bottleneck of the middle stage. It was only when Fairy Bishui used a teleportation spell and pressed a mountain on him that he was able to stimulate his potential. If not for this, he might still be in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
"You two came to visit suddenly, and I am not prepared. Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?" Xiao Lin thought that he was about to go to Liangyi Palace and use the cross-domain teleportation array to return to the southern domain. Yi Tuo Ling Xiu was an important figure in Liangyi Aurora Palace. There was no hatred between Xiao Lin and him. After all, the slight conflict in Liuli Immortal Mansion was just a different standpoint. If it were me, I would definitely do the same.
"So we are bothering you." Ling Xiu did not refuse and agreed.
After entering the reception room, the three of them sat down. Xiao Lin poured a cup of tea for the two of them. As for Bai Jiumei, she was obviously not interested in the two of them. After saying hello to Xiao Lin, she left Xiao Lin's cave and returned to her own cave.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, who is this girl?"
"Oh, she is a close friend of mine. She has been in seclusion for many years and has always been active in the Southern Territory. It is normal that you two don't know her."
"So Fellow Daoist Xiao is from the Southern Territory. That's not surprising. Generally, the two of us have heard of high-level Yuanying cultivators in the Eastern Territory. Of course, the Eastern Territory is vast and boundless, and there are also a few hard-working cultivators who have been in seclusion for many years. Even the two of us may not know all of them."
"Haha, Xiao has always been unwilling to be lonely and wanders around. I'm sorry if I offended you in the Liuli Immortal Mansion back then."
Ling Xiu and the others couldn't help but show a little embarrassed expression when they heard this.
Ling Xiu said, "It's a shame to say that Xiao Daoyou has gained a lot of benefits in Liuli Immortal Mansion, right? Even the Jinke talent of the Great Emperor Haoran Tianzong didn't get any benefits from Xiao Daoyou."
"This is just luck. If that Zhuo Daoyou really wanted to kill me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive until now." Xiao Lin said modestly.
"We cultivators are against the will of heaven, but everything depends on fate. Xiao Daoyou was able to obtain the inheritance of the East Sea Twin Immortals because of chance, and it has nothing to do with us." Zhong Shuangtong said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.
After learning that Xiao Lin was born in the Southern Territory, the two seemed to have gotten rid of most of their grudges against him. After all, for them, Xiao Lin, as an outsider, would not interfere too much in the affairs of the Eastern Territory, and naturally would not be a real threat to the Liangyi Aurora Palace.
Moreover, a person who cultivated from the Golden Core Stage to the Middle Nascent Soul Stage in less than a hundred years was enough to show that the person in front of him was a person with great luck. For such a person, it was naturally better to be friends than enemies.
Moreover, there was no hatred between them and Xiao Lin. Even in the Liuli Immortal Mansion, Ling Xiu had protected them, the low-level cultivators.
The three of them then talked about the current situation in the Eastern Territory. The Eastern Territory was now in turmoil. After the balance was broken, even the Xiankong Island in the extreme north was involved in the dispute between the three major sects.
The Liangyi Aurora Hall wanted to stay out of it, but now it seemed basically impossible.
The two of them came out of retreat this time to investigate the situation in the south and tell the Hall Master about the situation. However, they judged that once the Yushui Palace fell into a desperate situation, the Liangyi Aurora Hall would have to take action even for its own interests.
Xiao Lin listened with great interest and had a deeper understanding of the cruelty of the war in the world of immortal cultivation, but there was nothing he could do about it. Whether it was the Southern Territory or the Eastern Territory, the war between immortal cultivators was nothing more than the word "resources".
Just like the seven ancient sects in the Southern Territory, they had originally formed a delicate balance, but the sudden appearance of Fairy Yeyue broke the balance, leading to the current situation.
But for Dancao Mountain, it was precisely because the balance was broken that they had an opportunity to take advantage of it, taking the opportunity to walk out of the Wanli Snowfield and occupy a place in Guxuan Mountain.
