Can Scientific Cultivators Penetrate into the Second Dimension

"……what?"

Seeing Li Hongzhi whose expression froze all of a sudden, Lin Xiu was stunned for a while before he realized that there was only one person with the surname Zhu that he knew.

"Oh, it turned out to be Fellow Daoist Zhu, did she build a foundation?"

"Friend Ou is really..."

Looking at Lin Xiu's slovenly appearance, if it wasn't for the Foundation Establishment cultivator, he would have been bigu long ago. Even so, he still has the image of an "ascetic monk who has been in seclusion for many years".

God is pitiful, in order to devote himself to the "Stigmata Project" for the past three months, Lin Xiu never let Noelle and the others come out, otherwise it would not be like this with a maid by his side.

He opened his mouth, and finally Li Hongzhi could only choke out: "Diligence."

"Generally, the level of refining the Tianhe sword is only mediocre."

Changing the topic hastily, Lin Xiu confirmed the news to Li Hongzhi again. It was indeed the junior sister Zhu Rong who had established her foundation, and this time Li Hongzhi specially came to invite her to celebrate this event.

It's just that Lin Xiu is a little strange: a Qi training cultivator is just building a foundation, so he needs to go to great lengths?

After hearing Lin Xiu's question, Li Hongzhi smiled and said, "Junior Sister Zhu is not an ordinary monk. If nothing else is mentioned, how many people dare not give Elder Liu face?"

Lin Xiu was startled when he heard the words: "Elder Liu also wants to come forward?"

Li Hongzhi nodded, and the smile on his face was even bigger: "This time, I have a family of four golden pills in Yanlong Pavilion, how can I not celebrate it?"

Only then did Lin Xiu realize that this ceremony was not for Zhu Rong in essence. Her foundation building was just an introduction. Basically, Yanlong Pavilion had an extra Jindan Daoist in Ronglong Mountain Range to announce the leader. , If you want to do something, weigh the consequences yourself.

"Someone thought Elder Liu's existence had long been known."

After all, it has been more than 20 years since the Xinan Consular Incident, and if you want to change the appearance, you can change it long ago. There is no need to wait until now to take this last step.

But he didn't want to, Li Hongzhi explained to Lin Xiu's words unconsciously: "Elder Liu has only been very quiet in recent years, and he has been cultivating in the depths of the Ronglong Mountains until more than 20 years ago. , It was only then that I learned about the existence of a fourth real person in Yanlong Pavilion when we waited for the foundation establishment of the inner sect."

"Afterwards, the pavilion master ordered me not to publicize this matter, so in the eyes of the outside world, my Yanlong Pavilion still has a pattern of three golden pills, but it will be very different in the future. Not to mention the Chixin Alliance, only the Shadow Palace and the The Silk Sword Sect doesn't dare to make trouble easily..."

Lin Xiu didn't listen anymore, and all his attention was focused on the first half of Li Hongzhi's words. If he hadn't kept the flat expression of "Ou Yezi" on his face, Li Hongzhi would have noticed the clue by now.

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Lin Xiu said calmly, "Elder Liu has been cultivating in the Ronglong Mountain Range before?"

"That's the case. If the elder didn't show up on his own initiative, no one except the pavilion master would know about the existence of Elder Liu."

"What about fellow Taoists?"

"? Fellow Daoist Zhu is the heir of Elder Liu, and the only disciple that Elder Liu accepted. However, since he heard about the deeds of the 'Master Tianhe' since he was a child, he has always yearned for He Guizong and Xinan Ling. There are so many monks on the side of Xinan Lingzhou...does Fellow Daoist Ou not know?"

No, what I want to ask is—isn't Zhu Rong a disciple of He Guizong?

However, this question was stuck in Lin Xiu's throat, but he couldn't ask it. Some abnormalities that had been ignored before gradually emerged in his mind.

If at the beginning, Zhu Rong really only let Ou Yezi join Yanlong Pavilion because of his status as a monk in the southern province of Xinan. What about your contacts?

As a direct disciple of Jindan Daoist, even if the monks in the Yanlong Pavilion dare not mention the matter of Xinan Ling to her because of the pavilion master's order, what about those casual cultivators who came to rent the ground stove?

It's not like the pavilion master can order all the people who enter the molten dragon mountain range, right?

Moreover, with the means of a monk, there are more than one or two kinds of information that really want to inquire. superior.

As this doubt arises, more doubts also emerge.

"...Li Daoyou, as a guest secretary of the Yanlong Pavilion, do you have any duties that need to be fulfilled?"

"Of course, speaking of it, I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Ou. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Ou's help, Li would not have been able to spare so much time to practice during this period of time."

Yes, this is the biggest doubt.

No matter whether the sect is a sect or a sect, it is not a charity hall. Even He Guizong's scale once required its disciples to perform tasks on time. The truth is that when he came to the Yanlong Pavilion, he was uncharacteristically, and after letting himself easily join in, he didn't have to do anything, and he could also enjoy the preferential treatment in all aspects of Yanlong Pavilion as a guest minister and devote himself to cultivating.

The real reason is that everything about Ou Yezi has been "arranged" in advance, regardless of his responsibilities, tasks, or even possible loopholes and troubles in his identity. I have completed the entire refining system from scratch.

"……I see."

"Friend Daoist Ou understands as long as you understand, the ceremony is about to begin, shall we set off now?"

"Don't worry."

Stopping Li Hongzhi from reaching out to grab him, Lin Xiu said calmly, "I have something to ask."

……

Three quarters of an hour later, with the echo of the distant bell ringing in the center of Ronglong Mountain Range, Lin Xiu, who was already standing at the foot of the mountain, looked behind him, and Jiu Jiu just looked back, beside him, Ke Qing asked softly: "Compared to Wouldn't it be better to leave at this time and stay?"

"Yeah, it's better... a stable environment, sufficient resources, and a peaceful daily life without interruption."

Everything is as similar as Zai He Guizong, even better, but——

"I feel restless."

——If it is said that all of this is based on the "guilt" of a Jindan real person who has witnessed the decline of a sect but has done nothing, then who is qualified to accept it with peace of mind?

Even if there is such a person, it should be "He Guizong's disciple", not "Tianhe Jianzong's disciple".

148. Tianheng Mountain

As mentioned before, the distribution of the spiritual veins of Suxuanling is very different from that of Xinanling. Its distribution is irregular, but scattered in various areas of Suxuanling. Among them, the distribution of spiritual veins is The denser areas with higher quality of spiritual veins are occupied by the "Three Sects, Four Sects and Seven Gates", just like the Three Hundred Li Ronglong Mountain Range. In this kind of place, the sects are unique, and their power is more powerful than that of ordinary people's dynasties. I don't know how many times.

In the mortal world, even if you offend a dynasty, you may not be in trouble, just find a place to hide your name and hide your name, that high-ranking king will not chase him for thousands of miles with a sword, but if you cause trouble in a certain large sect If so, maybe one second there is a big news, and the next second there will be a flying sword falling from the sky and chopping off your head.

Therefore, for the time being, Lin Xiu didn't have the idea of ​​making news in a sect where Jindan Daoist existed—and more than one.

After leaving the boundary of Yanlong Pavilion, Lin Xiu chose a mountain about [-] miles away on the east side.

I don't care what this mountain was called before, but Lin Xiu knows very well what it will be called in the future: Tianheng Mountain!

……

On this day, two "guests" appeared on the future Tianheng Mountain.

The few "disciples" standing at the foot of the mountain greeted and swarmed up as before, wanting to overwhelm each other in momentum now-multiple experiences have shown that doing so can gain a greater advantage in the subsequent "communication".

However, the two "guests" this time seem to be so different...

"Please inform the head of your faction."

Facing several qi training monks swarming up, Lin Xiu said bluntly: "Ou Yezi of Yanlong Pavilion, come and kick the door."

No one knows who "Ou Yezi" is, but what kind of existence "Yanlong Pavilion" exists, anyone who has acquainted with Su Xuanling knows it, let alone these people who essentially rely on the blood of Yanlong Pavilion The casual cultivators survived.

As a result, the monks who seemed aggressive just a second ago died down instantly, and some of the less courageous monks were even more erratic, as if they were ready to run away at any time.

In this case, naturally no one would really report to the "head".

Lin Xiu, who already had a general understanding of the situation here from Li Hongzhi, was not surprised. He simply stepped forward. These monks who had been shocked by the "Yanlong Pavilion" all avoided, but they didn't even dare to say a harsh word.

……

"It seems that here, the status of the big sect is a little higher than I thought at first."

Although it's not as high as Guizong's once in the south of the river, it can be considered that one is the overlord sect that dominates the land, and the other is just the only one among the "three sects, four sects and seven gates" of Su Xuanling. With the existence of the "Seven Gates", it is quite impressive to be able to perform like this.

Of course, this alone is not enough. Another reason for this scene is that the one occupying Tianheng Mountain is not a "sect" in the true sense. Compared with it, it is more like a "gang" .

Time went back to before Lin Xiu left the molten dragon mountain range.

"... Fellow Daoist Ou plans to travel?"

"That's right, in the past few years, a certain person has reached a limit in his knowledge of refining equipment, and what is needed in the future is no longer something that can be broken through blindly refining equipment, but an opportunity."

"This matter is of course no problem, but why did you leave the melting dragon mountain range?"

"There are two reasons. Firstly, so-and-so needs to go out to find the first-line breakthrough opportunity, and secondly, so-and-so also needs to fulfill a certain duty as a guest secretary of Yanlong Pavilion."

Li Hongzhi looked puzzled: "Friend Ou's duty? Isn't it already..."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiu and Li Hongzhi, who looked at the still calm face, gradually realized: Although "Ou Yezi" helped him complete many trivial matters in the past three years, which made him feel more relaxed, but during this period, he himself was not at all. I haven't seen the existence of "Ou Yezi", but from time to time I will see the figure of Junior Sister Zhu and the orders passed down from time to time by Elder Liu.

It is not a fool who can successfully build a foundation in such an environment as Su Xuanling, and with Lin Xiu's current words and reactions, he can more or less sense something strange.

And since it involves Zhu Rong, it has something to do with that Elder Liu... No one with a normal mind would want to get involved in the "family affairs" of a Jindan real person.

Li Hongzhi is undoubtedly a normal person, so after he figured it out, he quickly changed his words: "It's just a small matter, it's just a matter of observing the ceremony..."

"Although Li Daoyou reported the truth, I would like to wish that Daoyou Zhu's temper will not be blamed on Li Daoyou."

"This... okay."

Although there was a look of embarrassment on his face, Li Hongzhi reluctantly complied.

After seeing this scene, Lin Xiu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Although I decided to leave the Ronglong Mountain Range, it is good to have less contact with that "Elder Liu" before that. After all, it is not a good thing to be highly concerned by a Jindan real person, even if the other party has shown goodwill, but that goodwill What he was facing should be "He Guizong", not "Tianhe Jianzong".

What's more, Lin Xiu doesn't want his every move to be watched by a person whose realm is beyond his own.

Later, from Li Hongzhi's mouth, Lin Xiu learned about several duties and types of tasks that need to be completed as a guest minister of Yanlong Pavilion.

Most of them are related to refining tools, but most of them are only used as auxiliary, like refining some flying boats or parts of large-scale formations, rather than independently refining a complete magic weapon-this kind of weapon that can exercise itself Naturally, it was handed over to the inner sect of Yanlong Pavilion.

In addition, Lin Xiu had already decided to temporarily leave the Ronglong Mountain Range to get away from Elder Liu's attention, so he did not choose this kind of weapon refining task. On the contrary, another task that Li Hongzhi inadvertently proposed was quite in line with Lin Xiu's expectations. .

"Sweeping the chaotic gang of casual cultivators, suppressing the business roads and protecting the caravans passing by?"

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Ou also knows that Yanlong Pavilion is the best at refining artifacts. I don't know how many magical artifacts are sold outside the Melting Dragon Mountain Range every year. In the process, there are inevitably caravans from various cities."

"The ones who are capable are naturally fine, but it is inevitable that some monks who are not good at fighting will exist, and these monks will be targeted by some casual cultivators with malicious intentions."

Speaking of this, Li Hongzhi showed disgust on his face: "These gangsters form gangs in groups of threes and twos, and they specifically target the caravans with insufficient strength to plunder them. If they were in my Yanlong Pavilion boundary, they would not dare to be so presumptuous. But once we leave the Yanlong Pavilion for five hundred miles, there will inevitably be times when we will be beyond our reach."

"At a time like this, if there are guests who can sweep and drive them away, and personally guard the local business roads, preventing this despicable person from invading the caravan, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the development of my Yanlong Pavilion."

149. Guardian mission

Only then did Lin Xiu realize that, to put it bluntly, it is "patrol", but what Yanlong Pavilion needs is a "patrol" that can stick to it for a long time, and it is best to be in the foundation-building state-capable of robbing caravans , even if it is not foundation building, it is at least a group composed of multiple qi training groups, which is not easy for ordinary qi training monks to deal with.

It's just that, in this way, Ke Qing who accepts such tasks will inevitably fall into a situation where he cannot return to the Melting Dragon Mountain Range for a long time, and all the foundation-building monks who choose the Yanlong Pavilion are likely to have their sights on the Melting Dragon Mountain Range The excellent refining environment, and fellow craftsmen in Yanlong Pavilion can communicate with each other.

Under such circumstances, one has to be "assigned to the frontier" after finally joining it, and has to take certain risks from time to time to deal with other monks. How many people are willing to accept it?

Due to various factors, there are very few guests in Yanlong Pavilion who are really willing to accept this kind of "patrol" mission, but for Lin Xiu now, this mission is already the most in line with his expectations.

Being able to get away from that Elder Liu's sight—no matter how strong your Jindan Daoist's spiritual consciousness is, it's impossible to sweep hundreds of miles away in one fell swoop, right?If he really had this strength, he would have been the second "Master of Tianhe".

At the same time, it is also possible to continue to retain the identity of Yanlong Pavilion's guest minister, which is conducive to continuing to acquire various skills of Yanlong Pavilion. After all, I have made up for my shortcomings in refining weapons, but the formation method has just started, so I can get it. It's just a set of "universal stigmata", and a lot of "exclusive stigmata" are still waiting to be fed.

"this one."
