Chapter 588 Incident
The head of the Lin family asked himself that he had never done anything wrong in his life. He had always been kind to others and rarely had any trouble with others.
This time I came to participate in the elixir formation ceremony of a new ancestor of the Shangqing Sect, which was based on the idea of making more friends with other monks and broadening the family's connections and influence.
However, he never expected that during the period of temporary stay in Hejianfang City, two strange masters of the Danjie stage would be eyeing him!
"Two seniors, I wonder if I can help you?" Lin Xiao looked at the two young-looking monks who suddenly appeared in his cave.
The faint auras of the two of them made him feel a frightening pressure!
He once met an ancestor of the Shangqing Sect who formed the core, and the pressure he brought to him was equally powerful. These two people were definitely strong men in the core formation stage!
In particular, he set up many restrictions outside the cave, but for these two monks, they walked in as if they were walking on flat ground. Such methods were really unpredictable.
"Haha, I would like to pretend to be a junior member of your clan and attend the elixir-forming ceremony in three days' time. What do you think, Master Lin?"
Because his cultivation was far superior to his opponent, Li Qing didn't want to mince words at all, and went straight to the point to explain the purpose of his visit.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiaonan was stunned for a long time, thinking quickly about the meaning of the other party's words in his mind.
These two strange and strange Dan-Jie masters are going to the Shangqing Sect to attend the Dan-Jie ceremony together, pretending to be younger members of his family?
Almost instantly, Lin Xiaonan figured out the key to this.
Obviously, these two unknown Jiedan masters did not have any good intentions towards the Shangqing Sect.
When he thought of what was involved, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Lin Xiaonan's forehead!
"Well, with the cultivation of the two seniors, if you want to participate in the Dan Dan Ceremony, I think the Shangqing Sect will welcome you."
Lin Xiaonan felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. This was the first time in his life that he had encountered such a thing.
He was wondering, where did these two people come from?
Now under the control of the Shangqing Sect, it is extremely difficult to successfully form a pill.
Then they can only be monks from outside the territory!
He soon recalled that some time ago, the Shangqing Sect had successively damaged their ancestors in the wilderness area south of the Qingling Area. If the prediction was correct, these two people should be strong men from that large area.
Li Qing smiled very kindly and said in a gentle tone: "The problem is that the Shangqing Sect may not welcome us two very much, so I thought of pretending to be a junior in your clan to participate together."
"I think it would be boring for the Lin family to go to the ceremony alone, so I might as well go with him and have someone to take care of me along the way."
"I promise, with the two of us here, you won't encounter any danger along the way."
Damn it would be boring to attend a ceremony alone!
Lin Xiaonan knew that the other party had already talked about this, and if he refused again, he would be really ignorant.
"Since the two seniors have such kind intentions, if I still refuse, then I really don't know what to say."
"Forget it, you two seniors will go with me for the elixir formation ceremony in three days."
After bracing himself to agree to the matter, Lin Xiaonan felt extremely unhappy.
If something happens, the Shangqing Sect will definitely be the first to liquidate the Lin family afterwards, there is no doubt about it.
But similarly, if he dared to directly refuse this matter, his end would probably be quite miserable.
"I just don't know what to call the two seniors?" Lin Xiaonan asked bravely.
Seeing that Lin Xiaonan was so understanding, Li Qing's smile became a little gentler, and he said: "From now on, you can call me Lin Qing. She is Lin Bing, a descendant of your Lin family. As for her relationship with you? What, just look at the arrangements."
As he spoke, Li Qing lowered his cultivation level, approximately to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage.
As for Shen Ningbing on the side, she pressed her breath directly on the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
For a cultivating family with foundation-building monks, it is most appropriate for the younger generations to maintain this level of cultivation. They will neither be too eye-catching nor too mediocre. The elders will bring them to participate in the pill-forming celebration to gain insights. That's a perfect fit!
After hearing this, Lin Xiaonan couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then responded continuously:
"No problem, then I'll go overboard and call the two seniors my nephews."
If the family really had two sons and nephews in the Dan-formation stage, he would probably wake up smiling happily even if he went to sleep.
It's a pity that these two real people in the Dan Formation stage have no connection with his family, but they make him restless and feel creepy.
Li Qing naturally wouldn't mind this, and was even quite satisfied with Lin Xiaonan's cooperation.
However, satisfaction is satisfaction, and the necessary insurance measures must still be taken.
"Master Lin, as long as you cooperate with us, I guarantee that you and your family will be fine."
"But after all, we have just met, and I can't completely trust you. I will plant a spiritual seal restriction in your sea of consciousness. As long as you don't do anything detrimental to me, there will be no problems."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiaonan's expression became stiff again.
Letting go of the sea of consciousness and allowing others to plant spiritual seal restrictions is tantamount to completely handing over your life to let others control it.
But he couldn't refuse in the current situation. No matter how difficult it was, he had to cooperate.
"Okay! Please don't forget to remove the spiritual seal afterwards." Lin Xiaonan gritted his teeth and said.
Li Qing's smile became brighter and brighter. His mind moved slightly, and then he directly invaded Lin Xiaonan's sea of consciousness.
"Uncle Lin, relax, there will be no problem. I will remove the spiritual seal for you personally after this matter is over."
As soon as the voice fell, Li Qing's consciousness planted a spiritual seal in Lin Xiaonan's sea of consciousness.
With the restriction of this spiritual seal, he could destroy the other party's sea of consciousness and take his life at any time.
So far, Li Qing successfully obtained a logical identity to participate in the Shangqing Sect's Danjie Ceremony.
Three days before the ceremony, the Hejian market was not quiet during this period.
First of all, a huge wave and storm rose in the Wuya Sea a few days ago, which attracted the attention of many people. Even many casual cultivators who went out to sea to catch spiritual fish died in the sea.
"It's really strange. Shouldn't this season be the calmest period in the Wuya Sea? How could it be so dangerous?"
"The storm was too big, the waves covered the sky, and I don't know how many people died in this natural disaster."
"No, I heard from those who escaped back to the land that it was not only a natural disaster, but also a terrifying spiritual pressure that made him almost breathless!"
"Spiritual pressure. Hiss, that may not be a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. Perhaps it was caused by a powerful cultivator fighting on the sea."
"Maybe it was a powerful monster in the sea. After all, the Wuya Sea is vast and boundless. Even the Tuoshan Turtle of Shangqing Sect may not be invincible."
"It's really possible"
Just as everyone was talking about it, a piece of news related to the Jindan Ceremony came from Shangqing Sect.
The newly promoted Jindan ancestor of Shangqing Sect, together with Tuoshan Turtle, captured a Jindan stage real person in Wuya Sea!
The captured Jindan real person was none other than the remnant of Lingyun Sect who survived.
"Haha, let the world know that in the Jindan Ceremony three days later, I will sacrifice the life of Ziqing Zhenren to the heaven!" Ling Ying announced to the outside world.
In this way, the news spread rapidly as if it had wings, spreading in all directions.
In a secret place somewhere at the gate of Shangqing Sect, Ling Ying put his hands behind his back and slowly turned around.
Behind him was a water prison, in which a monk in a purple tattered Taoist robe was imprisoned.
This person was the old ancestor Ziqing, and his body was pierced by chains made of spiritual gold, completely sealed.
"Heh, Fellow Daoist Ziqing, how does my sect's Fengling Powder taste?"
"With this Fengling Powder, your Dantian can be made to dry up in a short period of time. I think you have also felt it deeply, right?"
"Even if you want to self-destruct your golden elixir and die with me, you can't do it now. Why don't you face the reality and talk to me calmly?"
Ling Ying showed a gloomy smile, looking leisurely and contented.
However, the ancestor Ziqing lowered his head, letting the salty sea water hit his body and wash his wounds, without saying a word.
Seeing this, Ling Ying was not angry, but just clapped his hands lightly, and then said: "I have already released your information, but I don't know if it can lead out some of your accomplices?"
"I vaguely remember that many remnants of Lingyun Sect escaped at the beginning, thanks to the selfless dedication of Master Tuntian."
"Why don't you let me save some energy and tell me the information honestly?"
After hearing this, the old ancestor Ziqing, who was breathing very weakly, finally spoke: "There is no accomplice. This action is just an action that I came up with alone."
"Now that it has failed, it's up to you to kill or cut me. It's just a death."
Seeing that the old ancestor Ziqing was so casual, Ling Ying was also in trouble.
"Forget it, whether you have accomplices or not, I think we will know the result in three days."
"Executing a Jindan Zhenren in public at the Jindan Ceremony, just thinking about it makes me feel happy from the bottom of my heart."
"I will not torture you anymore, so that you can be in a good state to face your death."
After saying that, Ling Ying turned around and left the water prison connected to the Endless Sea.
After a long time, the old ancestor Ziqing sighed leisurely in the water prison.
But soon he laughed at himself again:
"Why should I sigh? It's just death. Wasn't this end expected a long time ago?"
"Alas, Ziqing is ashamed of the sect!"
As soon as the news that the old ancestor Ziqing was captured by the Shangqing Sect came out, the outside world was boiling almost instantly.
"As expected of Shangqing Sect, a Jindan-stage master was captured so easily."
"Not defeated, nor killed, but the strength of Shangqing Sect is really unfathomable to capture him alive."
"Such a high profile, what's the intention?"
"Perhaps it's to lure out the snake, want to use a Jindan real person as bait, and see if more people can be lured out."
"."
Li Qing, who had successfully established his identity, naturally learned the news at the first time.
"Brother Li, have you heard about it?"
Shen Ningbing immediately found Li Qing, his face was extremely solemn.
Li Qing's expression was not much better, he never expected that the Ziqing Patriarch would show up at this critical moment.
"I have heard about this matter, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental."
To be honest, Li Qing was a little confused at this time.
Originally, his plan was very simple, which was to take advantage of the fact that Shangqing Sect had no defense and explore the strength of this sect at its Jindan Ceremony.
But the sudden appearance of Ziqing Patriarch directly disrupted his plan.
This was something he had never expected!
At present, Shangqing Sect must have some defenses, this is beyond doubt.
The current situation is a little complicated, and Shangqing Sect will definitely doubt whether there are other accomplices behind Ziqing Patriarch.
However, the captured Ziqing Patriarch did not think that he had any accomplices, and he had nothing to say in the face of Shangqing Sect's interrogation.
But Li Qing knew that Ziqing Zhenren not only had accomplices, but also a lot of people hiding in the dark!
The intention of Shangqing Sect was very clear, that is, to release the news in advance, in order to lead out the accomplices who should not exist.
"Alas, this is really..."
"If we can meet the Purple Qing Patriarch in advance, our chances of success will be much better!"
Li Qing sighed repeatedly, and his thoughts became chaotic.
"Brother, what should we do next?" Shen Ningbing asked with a frown, and he also knew the pros and cons.
After a long time, Li Qing, after careful consideration, finally made a decision.
"Let's write the situation here as a spiritual letter and send it out by spiritual bird. Maybe we have to attack!"
"We two still follow the original plan and sneak into Shangqing Sect to participate in the Danjie Ceremony as Lin's children. We will decide based on the situation at that time."
With that, Li Qing took action.
In this way, under this tense situation, three days passed in a flash.
The Danjie Ceremony of Shangqing Sect was held as scheduled, and all the cultivators who gathered from all over the world set off and flew towards the mountain gate of Shangqing Sect.
Figures gathered towards the mountain gate next to the Boundless Sea!
Li Qing and Shen Ningbing, who pretended to be Lin family members, were among them.
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Lin, I haven't seen you for several years. How are you?"
A middle-aged cultivator with a flying sword approached the side of a green wood spiritual boat driven by Lin Xiaonan.
"Ahaha, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Feng. I'm doing well recently, thanks to Fellow Daoist Feng's concern." Lin Xiaonan laughed a little unnaturally, and then quickly responded.
The cultivator surnamed Feng quickly noticed Li Qing and Shen Ningbing in the spiritual boat, and also sensed some of their aura.
"These two are dignified and have a good demeanor. I think they are the outstanding children of the Lin family, right?" The cultivator surnamed Feng asked casually.
Lin Xiaonan's smile was a little stiff, but he quickly adjusted himself in Li Qing's slightly warning gaze.
"Haha, they are the two nephews of the clan. We specially brought them here to see the world."
"Hurry, Lin Qing and Lin Bing, come and meet your uncle Feng!"
Hearing this, Li Qing and Shen Ningbing immediately clasped their fists and saluted:
"Junior Lin Qing (Bing) greets Senior Feng!"
"Well, not bad, not bad. You have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age. I think the Lin family will have two more pillars of the foundation-building period in the near future!" The cultivator surnamed Feng stroked his beard and glanced at Li Qing and Shen Ningbing with admiration.
In response, Li Qing, who was good at dealing with people, immediately showed an expression of overjoyed joy, which looked exactly like the posture of a junior who was praised by an elder.
"Uncle Feng, you are too kind. I still have a long way to go. How dare I compare myself with a senior in the world of immortal cultivation like you."
Hearing Li Qing's words, the cultivator surnamed Feng was very pleased and immediately laughed out loud with joy: "Hahahaha, you are a good kid. The world of immortal cultivation is as deep as the sea. You should indeed maintain such awe."
"Well, if you have time in the future, come to Mingdao Cliff. I can teach you some Taoism!"
Li Qing was also very surprised and clasped his fists and said: "Thank you Uncle Feng for your kindness! I, Lin Qing, will definitely visit you with gifts in the future. I hope Uncle Feng will not despise me!"
It must be said that Li Qing's acting skills are really superb.
Not to mention Lin Xiaonan, even Shen Ningbing on the side felt inferior.
This kind of behavior is definitely a skill that can only be trained by being well versed in the ways of the world and struggling in a meager position.
At least Shen Ningbing herself asked herself that she could not be so harmonious!
Soon, the group of people approached a mountain gate near the sea while chatting.
This is where the Shangqing Sect is!
