Lin Xingliao stood on the roof of the dilapidated house, overlooking the entire village. As night fell, the light of the torches swayed in the wind, and the village was filled with deep fear and uneasiness. However, the tiger never appeared.
He frowned and thought, why didn't the tiger show up for so long? Could it be that he noticed the formation performed by Lin Xingliao and was frightened by its power? Yes, this formation can be seen thousands of meters away. Of course the tiger will not come after seeing it.
When Lin Xingliao used the formation, he only wanted to protect the villagers and simply try the formation. He did not expect to scare away the tiger.
As night fell, the big bug would only hunt at dusk. Lin Xingliao thought that the big bug would not come out, so he confiscated the formation.
Lin Xingliao couldn't use his own spiritual energy to drive this formation, so he had to rely on spiritual stones to drive it. Lin Xingliao felt sorry for that spiritual stone.
But at this moment, an unknown figure appeared scurrying around the village. Lin Xingliao took a closer look and saw that it was actually a big insect!
wrong!
This big bug has a master!
Lin Xingliao understood the habits of the big bug. The big bug would only hunt for an hour at dusk. Now that the sky was completely covered by night, the big bug probably wouldn't come out.
After the sun completely sets, cats' eyesight is actually not very good. As long as the moon is not round enough, they will not venture out unless they are extremely hungry.
But the villagers said that the big insect had hunted pigs and cows in the village a few days ago, so how could it be so hungry?
Sure enough, not long after the big insect appeared, a figure appeared next to him. It seemed that this was the owner of the big insect! Lin Xingliao Yu Qi flew over and looked at the man in the air.
Lin Xingliao cupped his fists and saluted: "Fellow Taoist, is this big insect the spiritual beast you raised?"
The man was a young man with an average appearance, who looked to be in his early twenties.
The man also clasped his fists and saluted: "This big insect is not a monster. It is just a poor Taoist cultivator. I passed by here yesterday and saw a big insect causing trouble in the village ahead, so I got rid of it and then took its animal skin and attached it to the puppet. I’m thinking that after I set up a formation during my practice in the future, I’ll help me watch the outside of the formation to prevent mortals from being accidentally injured by the formation.”
This young man probably didn't mean any harm, but Lin Xingliao wanted this big bug to go back and pay for a deal. What should he do?
Lin Xingliao didn't mince words: "Fellow Taoist, I am a disciple of the Baiyun Sect. I am going on a sect mission today and I want to take this big insect back to deliver a report. Do you think you can sell this puppet to me?"
The young man shook his head: "Big bugs are actually not common, and they are very intimidating to mortals. As long as they don't hurt anyone, those who see them won't report them to the official and cause trouble. They are good things for us casual cultivators to guard. I don’t really want to sell it, but if my fellow Taoist has anything good, you can exchange it with me. For example, the formation that covered the village just now.”
The greedy look in the young man's eyes was not concealed at all. It seemed that this man had a very clear mind and would go for what he wanted.
The young man continued: "Of course, I know that the formation is extremely expensive, and it is probably the best among the second-level formations. If it were to be replaced directly, fellow Taoist would be at a huge loss. In this way, you can lend me that formation to learn. Tonight, this tiger-skin puppet will be yours. Just tonight, until dawn."
Lin Xingliao looked this man up and down, trying to figure out what kind of situation this man was in. If he could suppress him, no matter whether he could be trusted or not.
The young man felt Lin Xingliao's spiritual probing, and he smiled and said: "Brother, there is no need to probe. I am in the middle stage of Nascent Realm like you. If I am too much stronger than you, why bother to propose a replacement?"
Lin Xingliao continued to explore and found out that the spiritual energy fluctuations in this young man were indeed in the middle stage of the Nascent Xuan Realm.
A monk's spiritual energy fluctuations cannot be completely hidden. They can prevent them from spreading too far, but they cannot be restrained to nothing. No matter how powerful a person is, they can only suppress their own spiritual energy fluctuations within three meters of their body at most.
In other words, there is no way to completely hide your cultivation. Unless you hide your whole body from others, your spiritual energy fluctuations will be detected anyway.
Lin Xingliao has been training with his father since he was a child. To put it bluntly, Lin Xingliao has been practicing physical training since he was a child, but Lin Xingliao and his father don't know that they are training. If Lin Xingliao hadn't had several fighting experiences, he wouldn't have known that he was so good at fighting.
But now, Lin Xingliao was not afraid at all when facing this guy who was obviously a Dharma cultivator.
Ever since, Lin Xingliao agreed to the young man's request.
The man put the tiger into the storage bag and handed it to Lin Xingliao: "Then I will give this tiger to fellow Taoist first. To show my sincerity."
Lin Xingliao collected the storage bag and handed the scroll of the Seven Stars and Six Rays Array to the young man.
The young man was not in a hurry, so he sat down cross-legged first. He took out three incense sticks and lit them with fire sticks. He said, "There are many mosquitoes in the forest. Using spiritual power to drive them away will distract me."
Lin Xingliao didn't say anything, just waited for the young man to finish lighting the incense and then handed the scroll to the man.
Then, Lin Xingliao said coldly: "Let me tell you the rules. If I find a trace of spiritual energy fluctuations in you, I will never be polite to you again."
The young man nodded, then took the formation scroll with both hands and began to comprehend it. Sure enough, he was very honest, and even the greedy look in his eyes turned into a desire for knowledge.
The night is shrouded and the stars are shining. Lin Xingliao was practicing the fire dragon technique seven steps away from the man.
With a distance of seven steps, he would not disturb the man and could observe the young man's every move. Moreover, if the man wanted to take away the scroll, Lin Xingliao was sure to subdue him or even kill him.
Lin Xingliao had calculated that the Xingtai Explosive Palm could arrive instantly within ten steps. Unless it was ten steps away, otherwise at the same level, this strike would almost certainly hit.
The man sat cross-legged, holding the scroll of the seven-star and six-ray array in his hand, his face shining with excitement and satisfaction. His eyes moved along with the words on the scroll, as if he was deeply attracted by them.
Lin Xingliao was secretly glad that this man seemed to have no ill intentions and was full of desire to practice. He stared at the man with all his concentration, and the scroll with a strong sense of picture unfolded before his eyes, and every word seemed to come alive, beating and rotating.
The night wind gradually picked up, rustling the leaves. An hour later, the man was still focused. It seemed that he cherished this night.
The young man seemed to be completely immersed in the world of the scroll. Lin Xingliao could clearly see every subtle change on his face, sometimes frowning and sometimes cheerful. He sighed in his heart that although this man was greedy, he had a sincere love for practice.
It's a pity that Lin Xingliao's formation is only in the realm of knowing how to use it, otherwise he would have studied the formation carefully.
Talismans, formations, spells, exercises, puppets, combat skills, magic weapons, alchemy, weapon refining... There are so many things that Lin Xingliao still needs to learn. This path of cultivating immortality is broad and profound.
Lin Xingliao thought it would be a peaceful night, but when it was almost dawn, Lin Xingliao always felt that something was not right.
The flow of spiritual energy around him seemed to be somewhat blocked. Lin Xingliao could originally spray out the Fire Dragon Technique three feet in length, but now it cannot be sprayed out long enough before it breaks.
Gradually, Lin Xingliao discovered that this was not an illusion or a mistake when he cast the spell, but that the muscles and veins around his body seemed to be blocked by something.
Lin Xingliao suddenly woke up and looked back at the three incense sticks that had been burning all night.
How can ordinary mosquito repellent incense burn for so long?
Lin Xingliao immediately understood that there was something wrong with the incense! It will gradually block the meridians!
Lin Xingliao made an instant decision. He immediately used his spiritual energy to drive his huge flying sword towards the young man. At the same time, he formed seals with both hands. He wanted to see if he could kill the incense with the fire dragon technique. .
Fortunately, Lin Xingliao had been practicing the Fire Dragon Technique, otherwise he might not have noticed that his own meridians were gradually being blocked.
The man stopped pretending and immediately used his magic weapon to block the three-meter giant sword.
There was only a muffled sound, and the giant sword was deflected away by its magic weapon. However, the three incense sticks were hit by the fire dragon technique, but Lin Xingliao had forgotten that fire can help incense burn more vigorously.
The three sticks of incense were instantly burned by Lin Xingliao's blue flames, and the thick mist choked Lin Xingliao that he couldn't breathe at all.
When the young man saw this, he just stayed in the defensive magic weapon and did not come out. He was probably afraid of smelling too much mist.
The young man probably had some means of defense against the mist, but it was probably too much for him.
The young man smiled and said: "You are too young. You don't even understand the world of martial arts, so you come to the world of immortality. You must have something good in your body. If you don't hand it over yourself, I won't take your life."
Lin Xingliao pretended to be weak: "Do you know who gave me the formation scroll? Can you eat it? Do you know who I am to her?"
The young man curled his lips: "Anyway, you are definitely not her Taoist companion. At most, you are her beloved disciple. But so what? As soon as I break away from cultivation, the sky is high and the sea is wide. As long as I don't kill you, then She doesn’t want to do anything to me because of this third-level scroll, right? Since I gave it to you, it probably doesn’t mean anything to her.”
Lin Xingliao curled his lips: "You talk a lot. You didn't leave directly. It seems that you can't smell much of the smoke."
After Lin Xingliao finished speaking, he suddenly rushed over. Although he couldn't use Ling Qi now, so what? He is a physical practitioner! Although Lin Xingliao's body doesn't even know what level of cultivation it is.
But Lin Xingliao knew that he could defeat a person at the peak of Nascent Realm and an early stage of Exorcism Realm!
Back then, Lin Xingliao had a head-on confrontation with Guanshi Xiao and her friends outside Sanxiufang City at the foot of Baiyun Mountain, but she never took a step back! He withstood their attacks and killed them directly. In terms of performance, Lin Xingliao can be considered a genius in physical training!
And now, even if Lin Xingliao's veins were blocked and he couldn't use his spiritual energy, what if he used his physical body to break through this young man's defensive magic weapon?
I saw Lin Xingliao rushing forward in one step, stomping, raising his legs, twisting his hips, gathering strength, punching, and concentrating. The six actions were completed in one go, in an instant. The punch was thrown out, as if it had the power to break the sky. Magnificent momentum!
"Bang!"
There was only a muffled sound, and a huge dent appeared in the young cultivator's defensive magic weapon!
This scared the young man quite a bit.
Lin Xingliao was a little annoyed: "The turtle shell is really strong!"
Then, Lin Xing's fists rained down like rain, and the dense fists beat on the defensive magic weapon of the young casual cultivator. Each punch carried a majestic momentum, as if every punch could make the air tremble slightly.
Moreover, Lin Xingliao is not doing bastard boxing. At the age of eight, he can punch four times a second, hitting the same point, and using his whole body to exert force in each punch! Those who use tongba boxing only use their arms to punch, while martial arts practitioners like Lin Xingliao use all their muscles to punch.
This is the fundamental reason why those who practice martial arts can only punch with more force than those of strong men.
The young casual cultivator's defensive magic weapon was constantly shaking under Lin Xingliao's violent offensive. Every vibration made the young casual cultivator feel a strong crisis.
The cracks that had been dented by Lin Xingliao earlier became even more serious.
This casual cultivator's defensive magic weapon seemed to be shattered at any time under Lin Xingliao's violent attack.
Upon seeing this, the young casual cultivator immediately moved his fingers, and after a while, a water ball condensed in his hand. The young monk said: "If you break through this barrier, my water ball will hit you directly in the face! If you have the guts, come and try it! Let's see if your head is stronger or my technique is stronger!"
Lin Xingliao didn't seem to hear what the casual cultivator said, and still attacked the magic weapon fiercely.
"Snapped!"
Finally, the casual cultivator's magic weapon was smashed to pieces by Lin Xingliao. Lin Xingliao actually didn't even see what the magic weapon looked like, he only knew that it was a colorless cover.
No matter what, just hit him!
When the cover broke, the young casual cultivator did not hesitate. The moment the cover broke, he smashed the water ball in his hand onto Lin Xingliao's face.
That water polo is quite powerful! He actually hit Lin Xingliao's head completely blank!
But, that's all.
Lin Xingliao's tilted head returned to normal, and he combed back the long hair that was in front of his eyes with his hands.
Lin Xingliao thought to himself: He just condensed his spiritual energy into a liquid state and then threw it out. It is essentially just water with a higher density. It would be worse than a stone hitting me on the head. I don’t know which idiot came up with this move. , is this worthy of being called a technique?
Lin Xingliao said that if the casual cultivator was dishonest, he would not be polite!
Then, Lin Xingliao punched the young casual cultivator on the head, but at the moment of contact, Lin Xingliao immediately felt that something was wrong.
It feels like human skin, but isn't it too hard inside?
Lin Xingliao's punch made a big dent in the casual cultivator's head, and some metal parts that Lin Xingliao had never seen flew out.
Lin Xingliao was a little bit sad when he saw this. He thought that the young casual cultivator was a real person, but he never thought that he was actually a puppet!
But at this time, the casual cultivator actually didn't move his waist, but his upper body suddenly rotated back 180 degrees, his chest opened, and something furry ran out, not too fast, Lin Xingliao ran quickly Go ahead and grab it.
Lin Xingliao lifted the thing up and saw that it was actually a hamster with a big head. The hamster looked at Lin Xingliao. It looked so cute and very fat. Lin Xingliao would have thought it if he didn't pick it up. It was a fuzzy ball of flesh.
Lin Xingliao was shocked. After all, he was just a boy of eighteen or nineteen. When he saw strange things, he just started playing with them.
Lin Xingliao looked at the big hamster curiously, his eyes scanning everywhere on the hamster, his eyes full of desire to explore.
But when Lin Xingliao's eyes searched for a place, the hamster hurriedly covered it. It was a little shy: "Don't look directly there, I am a female! Female!" The hamster's voice sounded a bit like It's a child.
Lin Xingliao didn't take it seriously. He smiled and said, "You can talk? You still know that you are a mother?"
The hamster nodded and said sheepishly: "Don't you know you are a male or a female?"
Lin Xingliao burst out laughing. He took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to the hamster: "What kind of hamster are you? Can you still talk?"
This candy was given to him by a child in the village. When the hamster saw the milk candy, his eyes immediately lit up. After taking the milk candy, it said with some satisfaction: "I am a monk, can you respect me a little! Do I have any?" He’s over a hundred years old, but he’s your senior!”
Lin Xingliao recalled the previous fight. The hamster seemed to have no intention of killing people and seizing treasures, so he put down his guard against the hamster. He was full of curiosity about the hamster: "What level of monster are you? Hey, I I heard that those talking monsters can transform into human forms, can you do that?"
The hamster was a little unconvinced: "I'm not a monster! No! I'm a monk!"
Lin Xingliao suppressed a smile and nodded: "Okay, fine, what's your name?"
"My mother named me Ouyang Yu, the jade of jade."
"Where's your mother?"
This hamster named Ouyang Yu, oh no, this casual cultivator named Ouyang Yu shook his head: "No more, the Flame God Sect regarded us as medicinal materials for alchemy, and captured all our clan members as soon as we arrived on the empty island. , in order to save me, my parents have... Anyway, I escaped to East Continent. If it weren't for the fact that almost all the intelligent races in East Continent are humans, I wouldn't be bothered to learn human speech, it's so difficult to learn!"
Lin Xingliao frowned slightly: "What? It's the Flame God Cult again!"
Afterwards, Lin Xingliao told Ouyang Yu about his previous experiences.
Ouyang Yu actually doesn't have so many bad intentions. She has only one idea since she entered the Xuan Dynasty: to become stronger, strong enough to eradicate the Flame God Cult.
So why not Lin Xingliao? He was just not in a hurry, but it wasn't that he didn't want to.
Lin Xingliao thought that the two of them had the same goal, so he said, "Then are you willing to go back to Baiyun Sect with me?"
The hamster nodded: "Yes, I am willing. The sect is full of spiritual energy, and spiritual stones are distributed every month. The cultivation speed is very fast. It takes decades for us casual cultivators to reach a small realm, and those sects There are many disciples who have built the foundation within a few years."
Lin Xingliao also nodded: "In this case, you first accompany me to a small cultivator market at the foot of Zongmen Mountain. I have something to do. When I finish it, I will take you back."
