Chapter 205

"Or is it that granddaughters and grandsons ran in and disappeared? Then the old man ventured in and didn't come out alive?"

"It's possible, but it's unlikely. I'm more inclined to think that maybe this place once brought a lot of benefits to the Tianri Sect, and maybe these benefits are very important to them."

"Combined with the fact that the Tianri Sect has a poor compatibility with the Chaos Land, but it did not begin to decline significantly until more than two hundred years ago, I actually have some doubts that this series of situations are all related. of."

"Hmm..." Lu Lin touched his chin and pondered what Silly said, and then asked, "You mean, the Tianri Sect's incompatibility was a problem from the beginning, but the reason why there were no financial problems in the early years The question is, is it precisely because this restricted area underground can continue to provide them with income? "

"But then, for some reason, the underground restricted area suddenly could no longer be mined. In order to solve this problem, the Tianri Sect even got involved with a great elder, but they still failed."

"And because of this incident, they completely gave up mining the underground restricted area. This led to the sudden collapse of the Tianri Sect's economic situation and the subsequent reforms?"

"That's what I mean," Silly nodded. "After all, according to history, the land chosen by the Tianri Sect was not the best choice they could make at the time."

"Although there is plenty of magic power here, and it is on the edge of a volcano, the environment is very suitable for them, but in fact there are many problems, not to mention the inconvenient transportation, and the location is relatively remote."

"You know, they were one of the first forces to come to the Land of Chaos to take root. At that time, they had quite a few choices. Several of them seem to be better than here now."

"When I was studying this period of history, I was thinking that if their intelligence work and investigation were not complete at the time, then they probably had some undisclosed reasons for choosing this land."

"Now it seems that if it is because there is a natural forbidden zone hidden underground here that can support the operation of the entire sect, then everything will make sense."

"Well, it is indeed possible, but it is just a guess after all, and it has little to do with us." Lu Lin nodded, "Since the Tianri Sect doesn't dare to go in there now, we definitely can't go there. It’s just a good chance to visit the well that Xiulinsi mentioned. As for this trip, it’s better to treat it as a hot spring... Uh, by the way, is that a hot spring? "

"Hot spring? Well, that's right," Jack Zhengyi nodded, "but the feeling of soaking may have nothing to do with the hot spring..."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Lu Lin asked doubtfully.

"Well..." Jack's vision of justice was a little wandering, "It's not easy to explain. Anyway, you will know when the time comes."

Looking at Jack Zhengyi's face, he didn't know whether it should be said to be mysterious or guilty, Lu Lin had a rather bad premonition in his heart.

Chapter 336: Is this the inevitable vacation after the war?

Soon, Lu Lin's bad feeling came true.

The number of places given to enter the Tianri Sect headquarters area this time was not particularly large, and Lu Lin also needed someone to keep an eye on their earth dragons and things, so they only selected some members to follow the third elder.

First of all, there were Lu Lin and Li Mi, and then there were the two little girls. This trip was originally for them.

Also present were Silly and Lan Jie. As for the reason, the third elder said that this place should be of some use to them.

Although Lan Jie's skills are good, the physical talent of the Earth Spirit Clan is really not that strong. Come and soak once, at least for the first time, the effect should be very good.

As for Silly.

She is physically weaker than Lu Lin and should have been soaked long ago.

What Lu Lin didn't expect was that Jack Zhengyi himself did not go with them.

According to the third elder, his identity is too sensitive. It would be easy to bring Lu Lin and the others in, but to bring Jack Justice in, although it is not completely impossible, the effort required is exactly the same as what it is now. A concept.

So, in the end, Jack Zhengyi took the initiative to stay there and watch the team, and just let them in this time.

The third elder's movements were also very neat. He led everyone to set off early the next morning. He rode a giant bird the whole way and passed directly over the city blocking the road. Soon, he came to a huge building. .

The building looks like some kind of ancient arena, and the outer circle is full of rooms that look like hotel rooms.

In fact, these rooms do serve a similar purpose, but they are not occupied by tourists, but by disciples and apprentices from the Tianri Sect who come to train.

The third elder prepared three rooms for Lu Lin and others. Lu Lin and Li Mi lived in one room, Silly and her two children lived in one room, and Lan Jie lived in one room by himself. Then he gave each of them a token pattern. The sign said it could be used to prove their identity. In case of emergency, the sign could also be crushed so that he would come over as quickly as possible.

In addition, they were told that they must soak in the pool for three hours every day, but they should be careful not to soak in the pool for more than six hours. As for other time, they can arrange it freely.

Opposite the building is a medium-sized city of Tianri Sect, where they can go shopping in their free time.

Lu Lin was really confused by this arrangement, which was rather like a travel vacation.

He originally thought that it was just a ceremony similar to baptism, lying in the water once, receiving a blessing-like power, and then it was done.

After asking, he found out that the so-called "soaking once" means soaking the body in this unique pool of water repeatedly in a short period of time until the body is no longer changed by the stimulation of the pool water.

And this so-called Zhengyang Pool is not the magical and strange place that Lu Lin imagined, where there will be magical blessings after soaking.

Instead, it is a kind of body-hardening medicinal bath that is artificially built with a large-scale magic array, gathering the magic power of the underground magic veins, and combining it with a large number of special medicines made from a large amount of medicine.

Although it is still very magical, the magic is not so dreamy, but rather seems quite practical.

According to the third elder, depending on the different physiques, some people may not feel anything after soaking for three days, while others can soak for more than a week, so he will leave for about ten days and then come back. Lu Lin and his friends can soak for a few days, and after they don’t feel anything, they can just take it as a vacation.

Afterwards, the third elder explained some issues that might need attention, and then left.

Seeing that he was quite aggressive when he left, it was estimated that he was going to cause trouble for the current elder.

As for Lu Lin and others, after settling down, they went for a day of medicinal bathing.

At this moment, Lu Lin finally understood why Jack Zhengyi said that this place might not feel like a hot spring.

Because it was too painful.

At first, when Lu Lin sat in this pool that looked clear and bright, steaming, and looked like an ordinary hot spring in shorts, he only felt warm and comfortable.

But as time went by, he began to feel his limbs limp, his body became so heavy that he couldn't even move.

Then, he began to feel pain gradually.

It was a very magical pain, not from the epidermis of the skin, nor was it some kind of very irritating pain, like being injured.

It was a pain that seemed to penetrate deep into the muscles.

It was like...

Yes, Lu Lin remembered this feeling.

Once, when he was young and ignorant but fearless, he followed a gym guy he knew to experience a fascia knife. The pain was so unforgettable that he swore that he would never experience it again in his life.

But he never expected that today, he felt the same type of pain again.

And this time, the pain was more comprehensive.

The liquid medicine soaked every corner of his body, and the pain did not spare any of his muscles.

The body was crying, but for some reason he couldn't cry out, so he could only grin and make weird facial expressions.

Lu Lin tried to turn his head to look at Li Mi beside him, and as a result, he saw a clear change of expression on Li Mi's face for the first time.

No, I don't know if it can be considered a change of expression.

In short, Li Mi's eyes were particularly wide, and the whole person was frozen in the pool like a sculpture.

Sure enough, everyone is equal in front of the fascia knife.

However, Li Mi's physique is strong enough, and the pool is unlikely to bring her a real improvement effect. It is estimated that for her, this thing is probably just as effective as a fascia knife.

For Lu Lin, it is far more than that.

The pain at the beginning was indeed terrible, but as time went by, the pain gradually subsided, and was replaced by an indescribable wonderful feeling, as if there was a slight electric current constantly beating in every inch of muscle and skin in the body.

Lu Lin soaked for more than four hours in total before this feeling completely disappeared.

And when he came out of the pool, he really felt that his body seemed to be a little different.

Both strength and flexibility have been significantly improved.

There were also two little girls with the same surprise on their faces. Nuanyang excitedly pulled Mingyue to run and jump. Mingyue, who had always been quiet and didn't like sports, also ran a long way with her for the first time, and stopped only when she was out of breath.

Although their running speed may be similar to that of normal people, you have to know that because they were imprisoned in the hut for many years in the past, even if Jack helped them train their physical fitness before, their athletic ability has always been far inferior to that of ordinary people.

Now they can reach the level of ordinary people after just one bath, which shows how much help this unique medicine has given them.

As for Li Mi, except for the initial reaction, it seems that she was just taking a hot spring bath afterwards.

Lan Jie's situation is between Lu Lin and Li Mi. His physical fitness seems to have improved a little, but it is not so obvious.

It's just that in terms of muscle relaxation, the effect is quite obvious.

And the only one who seems to be unhappy is Si Li.

Lu Lin asked and found out that she only soaked for ten minutes and used magic to lift herself out. After that, she refused to soak again no matter what.

Lu Lin wanted to persuade her, after all, Lu Lin personally felt the benefits of enduring that pain, but who knew that Si Li didn't give Lu Lin this opportunity at all, and went back to the room and closed the door directly, and shut herself on the spot.

Lu Lin looked at Lan Jie.

Lan Jie spread his hands and said helplessly: "She really has this temper. I actually guessed it would be like this when I was soaking her."

"Oh, forget it, it's okay," Lu Lin sighed, "Anyway, it's just a bonus whether we soak her or not. Improving the physical fitness of the two little girls is the most important thing. At least it looks good now."

"Yeah," Lan Jie let out a long sigh, "It's worthy of being the Tianri Sect. This thing is great. If I had this thing when I was a kid, I don't know how much time I could save for physical exercise."

"So, today's medicinal bath time is over," Lu Lin glanced at the sun hanging in the sky, "Well, it's noon, how about you go and call Si Li out first, and let's go to the next city to have a meal together?"

"Okay, I'll call her after I change my clothes," Lan Jie nodded, "Meet in your room later."

After that, Lan Jie went back to his room first, and by the way, he called the two little girls to go to Si Li's room first.

Lu Lin took Li Mi back to the room to change clothes.

Not to mention, except for the severe pain at the beginning of the bath, the feeling afterwards was really like traveling in a hot spring hotel.

"Oh, I wonder if there will be any local specialties in the city of the Tianri Sect?"

Lu Lin thought while changing clothes.

Just as Lu Lin and others were enjoying this sudden hot spring vacation, on the other side, outside the city of Kenmer, two earth dragons were slowly moving towards the city gate.

On the second-floor observation deck of the two earth dragons, there stood two men with quite distinctive looks.

One was a middle-aged man wearing leather armor and carrying a longbow.

The other was a young man carrying an exaggerated sword.

The two earth dragons walked slowly into the gate of Kenmer City, one in front and one behind, just like ordinary travelers.

Chapter 337 That's the first time I've seen such a beggar

In fact, Lu Lin had always had some strange stereotypes about the Tianri Cult.

After all, this cult is basically bald and martial arts, and it is relatively upright, which easily reminds people of places like Shaolin Temple.

So Lu Lin was actually quite curious about what the inside of the Tianri Cult looked like.

Sometimes he even subconsciously thought that Jack Zhengyi would not touch meat.

But this is obviously just a misunderstanding. First of all, not everyone in the territory of Tianri Sect is a martial arts practitioner. The proportion of civilians is still the vast majority.

And even if the disciples of Tianri Sect, most of them have to engage in various ordinary production occupations like ordinary people on weekdays.

After all, even if the current economic situation of Tianri Sect is not bad, it is impossible to support so many disciples who leave production and only practice martial arts.

Only the small group of people with the best talents in each generation are qualified to completely leave production and concentrate on pursuing martial arts.

And even these people, although they are all bald men who practice martial arts all day, they are not martial monks, and their daily lives are no different from ordinary people.

As for meat, no matter which version of meat, there is no taboo.

Even the restaurants on the street are full of large pieces of grilled meat with various spices and sauces, and the prices are not very expensive.

After Lu Lin asked, he found out that this area is rich in spices. In the past, when the economic situation was not good, Tianri Sect almost relied on the spice trade to support itself.

Now that the situation is better, they can enjoy the rich local spices. At the same time, after the economic situation improved, the Tianri Sect was able to import a large amount of coarse grains from the Gakuli Ze Kingdom as feed to raise various livestock and provide a steady supply of meat for various regions within the sect.

The Tianri Sect area is martial, and the demand for meat is naturally extremely high, which is why there is such a food culture.

Lu Lin looked at the whole plate of ribs and five or six different sauces on the table, and suddenly understood why the third elders were so unwelcome here.

Look at this food.

Think about the days when the whole sect drank porridge together, and even porridge was not enough. If you let Lu Lin choose, Lu Lin would stand opposite the third elder.

He is indeed upright, no wonder he can teach students like Jack Zhengyi, but ideals that are out of touch with reality are ultimately castles in the air.

For most of the Tianri sect members, the victims are all slave-like gang members anyway, what does it have to do with them?

Although from Lu Lin's perspective and cognition, he knows very well how many hidden dangers there are in what they are doing now. Maybe drugs are only used on those drug addicts now, but as time goes by, it is hard to guarantee that these things will not begin to infiltrate the lives of civilians under the rule of the Tianri Sect.

But for most of the people of the Tianri Sect, if you talk to them about this hidden danger, they will only think that as long as they don't get involved in these things, it will be fine.

Just because of this kind of thing, they have to eat porridge like in the past?

No one is willing to do that.
