Chapter 318 Preparations Before Return After leaving Li Xiuyuan's cave, Lin Tianming and the three of them walked together towards the cave where they lived.
Along the way, Lin Tianming and Hu Yuan talked while walking, discussing the topic of leaving Yuyao City.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, the war is over and everyone can leave. What are your plans next?"
"If Fellow Daoist Hu plans to return to Qianchuanfang City, are you willing to go with me?" Lin Tianming asked.
Hearing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled helplessly and said, "I'm afraid I have to thank Fellow Daoist Lin for his kindness this time!"
"Oh?"
Lin Tianming was a little surprised, and then asked suspiciously: "Does Fellow Daoist Hu have any plans?"
Hu Yuan chuckled and then started to explain.
"Being a casual cultivator in the next generation can be said to be carefree!"
"In the past, I was tired of living in the area around Qianchuanbo City where I used to live for so long."
"There are still more than two years before the Tianfeng Secret Realm opens. I want to go to Longshanfang City to experience it and see if I can break through the foundation-building Dzogchen realm in one fell swoop."
"If you are lucky enough to succeed, you will have a greater chance of surviving when you enter the Tianfeng Secret Realm."
After hearing this, the explanation was very detailed, and Lin Tianming no longer forced himself.
In his opinion, Hu Yuan's travel plan was very decisive and correct.
After all, after reaching the ninth level of foundation building, the improvement of spiritual power is extremely limited. Only by experiencing the experience of life and death, or cultivating the state of mind while traveling, can there be greater hope of reaching the state of Dzogchen.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming chuckled, and then said: "In that case, I won't hold you back."
"In a few days, I will leave Yuyao City, and I plan to return to Qianchuanfang City first."
"In this case, if I want to see Fellow Daoist Hu again, it may be two years later!"
Hearing this, Hu Yuan stopped and nodded.
Then, he looked at the cave in front of him, pondered for a moment and said, "Well... we've arrived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yuan patted the storage bag, took out the blood black fruit presented by Li Xiuyuan, and handed it to Lin Tianming.
"Before we say goodbye, I will give this Blood Crow Fruit to Fellow Daoist Lin as a gift from me!"
"I hope that after two years, Fellow Daoist Lin can enter the seventh level of foundation building. By then, we can continue to cooperate with you on our trip to the Tianfeng Secret Realm."
After hearing this and looking at the Blood Crow Fruit so close at hand, Lin Tianming quickly waved his hand and refused.
"Fellow Daoist Hu, this Blood Crow Fruit is beneficial to improving your cultivation. I'm afraid I can't accept it!"
Seeing Lin Tianming's refusal, Hu Yuan pretended to persuade him.
"Haha... Fellow Daoist Lin also knows that at this level, the improvement that this Blood Crow Fruit can achieve is extremely limited!"
"In this case, it would be a pity that if you take this fruit in your body, it will not be able to exert its maximum effect!"
"This... how does this work?"
Lin Tianming looked embarrassed and quickly refused.
Seeing Lin Tianming's firm attitude, Hu Yuan felt a little embarrassed, and then changed the subject.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please don't be polite. I won't let you get this result!"
"I happen to be short of a late-level second-level demonic beast inner elixir. The inner elixir of the Sword Spirit Tiger in my hand, Daoyou Lin, is just right. How about exchanging it with me?"
Hearing this, Lin Tianming hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed to the exchange.
He knew in his heart that although the value of the inner elixir of the Sword Spirit Tiger was similar to that of the Blood Crow Fruit, the Blood Crow Fruit had greater effects and higher potential value.
Hu Yuan's intention in exchange was to give him a step down and help him.
But for Hu Yuan's sake, it would be too shameless to refuse his kindness.
Soon, Lin Tianming took out the inner elixir of Sword Spirit Tiger and completed the exchange with Hu Yuan.
Immediately afterwards, the two held each other's hands and fists, then turned around and left.
Back in the cave, Lin Tianming and Qin Xi sat in the reception room, drinking tea and chatting.
Looking around, the two people's faces were rosy and they seemed to be in a good mood.
"Fairy Qin, I plan to refine the Blood Crow Fruit before leaving Yuyao City, and return to Qianchuanfang City first!"
Hearing this, Qin Xi nodded, and then replied: "The little girl has no worries and has no plans in the near future. Fellow Daoist Lin can arrange it as convenient as possible. The little girl has no objection."
After speaking, Qin Xi took out the Blood Crow Fruit and handed it to Lin Tianming.
Seeing his move, Lin Tianming did not accept it immediately, but asked doubtfully: "What does Fairy Qin mean by this?"
"The reason why Fellow Daoist Li gave me one is because we claim to be brother and sister. Otherwise, with the little girl's cultivation level, I'm afraid it would be impossible to get one."
"Speaking of which, the little girl has also taken advantage of Fellow Daoist Lin. Now it is only natural that the property should be returned to its original owner!"
Hearing this, Lin Tianming frowned and then refused.
"Fairy Qin, just accept it. There are two Blood Crow Fruits below. If you take the third one, I'm afraid the effect will become worse and worse."
"In this case, Fairy Qin doesn't need to be so clear about it. Just refine it honestly and work hard to improve your cultivation!"
Seeing Lin Tianming's resolute attitude and the tone of his voice that could not be refused, Qin Xi nodded helplessly.
At this time, Qin Xi put away the Blood Wu Guo and secretly looked at Lin Tianming again with a pair of beautiful eyes. Her heart was inexplicably beating secretly, causing some rosy color to appear on her face.
Lin Tianming changed his gaze, and the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
I don't know how much time passed, but Lin Tianming suddenly left the reception room and walked to the practice room.
As Lin Tianming left, Qin Xi's expression finally returned to normal, but her rapidly beating heart showed her state of mind.
Qin Xi breathed a long sigh of relief and then fell into deep thought.
In her mind, after more than two years of getting along with him, Lin Tianming's personality and handling style gave her a great impression.
Sometimes he is considerate, sometimes domineering, and sometimes a little cold. He seems a little complicated, but he is very real.
But Lin Tianming helped her without leaving any room, never asking for anything or asking for anything.
This feeling of being protected and valued could only be experienced when her grandfather was still alive.
After her grandfather died, she practiced alone and has been wandering in the world of immortality.
During the course of several years of training, she was a Sansun disciple with insufficient cultivation, and she had been oppressed by others and suffered countless hardships.
In this way, she still persisted, and she survived many hardships and life-and-death crises.
The reason why she works so hard is just to cultivate to a higher level and avenge her grandfather.
With this hatred, her life was very tiring and hard, as if she was carrying a heavy burden. Sometimes it was so heavy that she couldn't breathe.
But since meeting Lin Tianming, she seemed to have put her hatred in her heart, and her whole person was full of vitality.
This feeling of being trusted and protected was very beautiful, and it also made her realize the meaning of cultivation.
At this moment, there was a slight change in her heart and she became softer.
After finally calming down, she looked at the training room where Lin Tianming practiced, turned around and walked towards the secret room.
……
In the practice room.
Lin Tianming sat cross-legged, holding a blood black fruit in his hand.
He looked at the crystal clear fruit, smelled the special fruity aroma, and his eyes were filled with last time I broke through the sixth level of foundation building was when I first arrived at Demon Control City. I also used a rainbow fruit to break through in one fell swoop.
It has been nearly a year and a half now.
During this period, apart from participating in the war, he spent the rest of his time practicing, and his life was extremely fulfilling.
Over the past year and a half, high-intensity battles have built a very solid foundation for him.
The originally somewhat illusory cultivation level has reached the middle stage of the sixth level of foundation building after practice, and is not far away from the late stage of the sixth level of foundation building.
Now that he has these two Blood Crow Fruits, he is very confident that he can reach the peak of the sixth level of foundation building.
If you are lucky enough, you might be able to break through the seventh level of foundation building in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Lin Tianming looked excited and obviously couldn't wait.
After making up his mind, he quickly sat up and started to run the technique.
When his state reached its peak, he swallowed a Blood Black Fruit without hesitation.
As the Blood Wu Guo entered his mouth, a sweet smell made him feel extremely comfortable, and his face quickly turned rosy.
Immediately afterwards, powerful energy overflowed from the Blood Crow Fruit, and then spread rapidly along the meridians of the body.
Feeling this energy, Lin Tianming looked excited and immediately began to run his skills to refine this energy.
Soon, the refined energy turned into surging spiritual power, which began to gather into the Qihai Dantian.
At this moment, Lin Tianming looked down at Qihai Dantian, and the newly refined spiritual power began to fill Qihai Dantian.
In addition, his breath is also increasing at a weak speed, and he looks more and more solid.
Seeing this situation, Lin Tianming didn't stop and began to run the technique with all his strength, refining the remaining energy.
……
Time passed by in a hurry, and more than half a month passed.
Senkawabo City.
In the square in front of Fangshi Auction, many monks gathered here.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and started talking about the notice posted in the square.
For a time, the entire square was very lively, and everyone began to discuss the content on the notice.
At this moment, Lin Xingpu was mixed in the crowd, looking at the contents of the notice, and fell into ecstasy.
Looking at it, the content posted on the notice is exactly the final result of the battle in Demon City, as well as the ranking on the demon hunting list, as well as the record and results.
At this time, a Qi Refining monk next to Lin Xingpu seemed to know him and had heard of Lin Tianming's name.
He looked at Lin Xingpu who was in a daze, and then congratulated: "Fellow Daoist Lin, congratulations to the noble senior for achieving such great results!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another Qi Refining monk also spoke in agreement.
"Yes, Senior Lin Tianming killed everyone in Yuyu City and took the top spot among many recruits. He is indeed a role model for our generation!"
After hearing these compliments, Lin Xingpu, who was in a daze, came back to his senses.
Hearing the compliments and envy of some familiar fellow Taoists around him, he smiled, his face full of pride.
Soon, he calmed down and replied politely: "Thank you for your praise!"
"The good news came today, and I am very excited. Now I have to go back to announce the good news. When I have the opportunity another day, I will invite a few Taoist friends to gather together."
"Haha... Fellow Daoist Lin, just please do it!"
A casual cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining cupped his hands and said politely.
Seeing this situation, Lin Xingpu did not delay. After greeting several familiar monks, he rushed to Luoyun Pavilion in the business district.
Luoyun Pavilion, in a secret room on the third floor.
At this time, Lin Xingpu, who had returned from the auction, looked excited and was sitting in a secret room chatting with several other tribesmen stationed in Fangshi.
Seeing him like this, it was obvious that something good had happened.
Lin Xingyan, the oldest, was very confused. He looked at the mysterious Lin Xingpu and then asked: "Xingpu, did you come across some treasure during your trip?"
"Haha... I did encounter a treasure, a shocking treasure!"
Lin Xingpu smiled cheerfully and looked extremely excited.
Seeing that he was still beating around the bush, Lin Xingyan's face turned cold, and then he scolded: "Stop talking nonsense, speak up quickly, brother is still busy!"
Seeing this situation, Lin Xingpu did not dare to delay and quickly told the whole story about the notice he saw before the auction.
"Really?"
"Is Tianming really ranked fifth on the monster hunting list? Ranked first among all the monks recruited?"
Lin Xingyan's clan members had incredible looks on their faces, obviously shocked by the breaking news.
Although before this, some news about the monster hunting list had spread in Qianchuanfang City, including the statement that Lin Tianming ranked among the top ten on the overall list.
But these news are all rumors among some monks and have never been publicly confirmed by Zhenyang Sect.
Therefore, when several people heard the news, they felt a little unbelievable for a while.
At this time, seeing the shocked expressions of several tribesmen, Lin Xingpu said categorically: "Really!"
"I just passed by the Fangshi Auction House and saw with my own eyes that people from the Zhenyang Sect posted notices. It was clearly recorded on it."
After hearing this and looking at Lin Xingpu's serious expression, several people confirmed the authenticity of the matter.
"Haha... Tianming is indeed the hidden dragon of our family. Even many casual cultivators and so many family members are suppressed by him!"
At this time, Lin Xingyan shouted excitedly.
After finishing speaking, Lin Xingzhuo was equally excited and immediately echoed.
"Yeah...I thought this was just a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true. It exceeded my previous expectations."
"Since this matter comes from Zhenyang Sect, there is absolutely no way it is false!"
"In this case, it means that Tianming will soon return to the family, or Qianchuanbo City!"
Hearing this, Lin Xingyan and others nodded, thinking so in their hearts.
After a few people calmed down, Lin Xingyan, as the leader of Fangshi, said to Lin Xingpu and others beside him: "The battle in Yuyao City is over. If nothing else, Tianming will not stay there for a long time. There is a high probability that I’ll be back in this half year!”
"However, the specific time cannot be determined yet."
"Now that the beast tide has basically subsided, it is relatively safe for the time being. I suggest sending a clan member to send this good news back to the family, so that Third Uncle and the others can be happy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xingpu said: "Not bad!"
"It just so happens that Luoyun Pavilion doesn't have much inventory for sale, so you can go back and replenish it!"
Hearing this, Lin Xingyan nodded, still giving instructions with excitement in his expression.
"Okay... Xingpu, Xingzhuo, you two will set off early tomorrow morning. Come back quickly!"
"Well...that's the arrangement!"
Lin Xingpu and Lin Xingzhuo spoke to confirm the matter.
