About half an hour later, a figure sneaked into Lin Yan's room, turned into a black shadow and quickly came to Lin Yan's bedside. Taking advantage of the faint moonlight, he saw Lin Yan's face.
The unfamiliar face in front of him made the man slightly surprised. He looked nothing like Lin Yan.
The figure retreated to the edge of the window in disappointment, and quietly turned out of the room.
The figure was none other than Tu Dongyin.
At this moment, he was leaving the Cheng family's mansion with a sullen face. "Not at Cheng's house? Then at Zhenwu Sect? Could it be that old man Yang Zhenwu was deceiving me?" Tu Dongyin walked slowly on the street outside Cheng's house, thinking about Lin Yan's whereabouts.
Tonight, he searched through the entire Cheng family. Except for the rooms of Cheng Linong and several other top masters, he visited all other rooms.
No trace of Lin Yan was found.
Thinking carefully about all the faces he saw in the Cheng family, Tu Dongyin suddenly noticed something was wrong. There seemed to be a face that did not match the information he had.
In the entire Cheng family, except for the servants who live together in the servant's house, other people with some status in the Cheng family live in separate rooms. Most of these people are well-known in the world. With Tu Dongyin's ability, he can naturally understand these people. Not to mention Cheng Linong and Cheng Linong's children. In addition, there are also Doctor Bai, Wulin sect diners, etc. Tu Dongyin has investigated them all Pass.
But there was a face that was very unfamiliar and should not appear in the Cheng family at all.
"Disguise?" Tu Dongyin's heart was full of doubts. He looked back at the Cheng family mansion, a sneer appeared on his lips, his body rose into the air, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Sensing that the investigating person was leaving, Lin Yan woke up in the room, exhaled lightly, and the big stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground.
In his current state, he couldn't confront Tu Dongyin head-on.
After waiting for about half an hour, no one came. Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. His body was a little tired, so he lay down, relaxed his body, and fell asleep slowly.
Since he came to this world, he has not slept for a long time. He mostly uses meditation instead of sleeping to restore his mental and physical strength. However, after being injured, his body is very weak. Meditating instead of sleeping will make his body weak. The body cannot raise the strength.
The body needs rest.
After a peaceful night, the Cheng family became lively early the next morning.
Cheng Linong and others packed their luggage, prepared the carriage, had breakfast, and then boarded the carriage with Lin Yan and Cheng Feishuang, who had changed into servant clothes, and headed for Changshan Pingding.
Changshan Pingding, located in the western part of the Central Plains, is only two days away from Yongzhou City if riding a horse at full speed. The Cheng family took a horse-drawn carriage on the road, which was slower and took about three or four days.
The Cheng family has a great reputation in the world. Wherever they went along the way, bandits and other gangsters did not dare to provoke them, and they hid far away. Therefore, along the way, the road was safe and smooth, and nothing happened. What an accident.
After four days, the group finally arrived at the foot of Changshan Mountain and rested in an inn.
After grabbing the medicinal materials and drinking the decoction, Lin Yan felt that the injuries in his body slowly disappeared and no longer affected him. The true energy in his body also grew stronger, almost infinitely close to 80% of the day after tomorrow.
Although the medicinal materials of the Five Elements Bone Strengthening Pill are not made into elixirs and the efficacy is greatly reduced when taken, the medicinal materials in this world are somewhat beyond Lin Yan's expectation. They are very powerful. With the combination, the final effect is very close to low quality. The potency of Five Elements Strengthening Bone Pill. These Five Elements Bone-Strengthening Pills are originally used to strengthen the body and strengthen the body. Although most of the medicinal power is used to repair internal organs, a small part of the medicinal power is still absorbed by Lin Yan's physical body to strengthen the body and feed back the true energy.
The true energy accumulated in his body is getting stronger and stronger now, but he can also gradually feel the pressure caused by the strange true energy in Rendu's two meridians, that is, the power of the spiritual roots.
If the pressure brought by the power of spiritual roots is not resolved, the stronger the true energy in his body, the easier it will be to lose control. If Lin Yan's own martial arts realm is far stronger than his current level of strength, and he has many unique experiences in controlling true energy, and He is proficient in medical science and knows the secrets of many acupuncture points in the human body. I am afraid that if it were any ordinary acquired seventh-level warrior, the true energy in the body would run wild and harm himself in a short period of time.
In the past two days, Lin Yan used his true energy many times to check Cheng Feishuang's pulse, test the "innate spiritual root power" in Cheng Feishuang's body, and carefully compare it with the "acquired spiritual root power" in his own body. Although with his current I still don't have the ability to master the power of this spiritual root, but I also know some characteristics of the spiritual root.
In mortals, although it is very small, there is a certain chance that a spiritual root power can be born. This spiritual root power is entrenched in the Rendu Second Meridian. Because this spiritual root power is innate, it is called the innate spirit. Spiritual roots, this is most likely one of the qualities necessary to become a member of the Immortal Sect. Even without spiritual roots, one cannot practice the so-called "immortal method".
The second point is that in addition to some people who can give birth to "innate spiritual roots", warriors who practice martial arts will also have some auras similar to "innate spiritual roots" in their bodies, and even to some extent, have the same aura as innate spiritual roots. Because it is born the day after tomorrow, it is called "acquired spiritual root". Innate spiritual roots and acquired spiritual roots are the same, but there are some differences. Innate spiritual roots are born in ordinary people, and because the power of spiritual roots has a strong rejection effect on martial arts true energy, people with innate spiritual roots cannot successfully refine the vitality of heaven and earth into martial arts true energy. The acquired spiritual roots will only appear in the body of a warrior. Lin Yan once speculated that when a warrior practices martial arts and transforms the vitality of heaven and earth into true energy, another mysterious energy in the vitality of heaven and earth is brought into the body of the warrior. Internally, it is entrenched in the two meridians of Ren and Du. Over the years, it has reached a certain strength, and therefore turned into the so-called "acquired spiritual root". In other words, the power of the acquired spiritual root in the warrior's body will also grow slowly over time. Slowly becoming stronger also makes it impossible for warriors to open up the Ren Du Second Meridian, and can only find other ways to break through to the ninth level of acquired heaven. Not only is the difficulty increased a thousand times, but also because the spiritual roots in the Ren Du Second Meridian are too strong, resulting in It is as difficult for a warrior to break through a realm as it is to reach the sky, which is why there are so few extreme masters in this world.
In the martial arts world, there are many examples of people who break through to the top master level at a young age, but have been at the top master level for decades and are unable to reach their limits. In the end, they can only die of old age and regret. It is like the so-called young talent list in the world. Each of the fifty young talents in the world can break through to the level of a top master before the age of twenty-five, but there may be only a few people who can become an extreme master, and the chances are worse, or even none.
Whether it is innate spiritual roots or acquired spiritual roots, they are the stepping stones to enter the Immortal Sect. That is why there is a sword trial conference held every thirty years. To put it bluntly, this sword trial conference is just a trial conference for the Immortal Sect to recruit disciples.
Even if they are the same spiritual roots, there are some differences. For example, the "innate spiritual roots" in Cheng Feishuang's body, according to Lin Yan's perception, are cooler than the "acquired spiritual roots" in Cheng Feiyu's body, and even have a vibrant aura. Cheng Feiyu's acquired spiritual roots are more complex, with a sharp feeling, and are as vast as water waves, and also a bit thick. Lin Yan's own "acquired spiritual roots" tend to be sharp and hot. Although this strange aura gives Lin Yan the biggest feeling of coolness, which is incomparable to the hotness, but after comparing it, he unconsciously felt... This weird feeling emerged.
Cool yet hot.
Realizing that the power of spiritual roots may come from heaven and earth, Lin Yan spent a whole hour carefully sensing the power of heaven and earth around him. With his sensing ability, he could not detect the existence of any other power of heaven and earth. This speculation was therefore deeply buried in Lin Yan's heart.
A few people settled in the inn, packed their luggage, and ordered some meals in the inn. After drinking and eating, he sat boredly at the dining table, listening to the martial arts people eating and drinking around him chatting about anecdotes about the world.
Most of them are about the Sword Trial Conference. For example, a certain young talent in the Jianghu has traveled thousands of miles to return from the Western Regions just to participate in this trial, or some young prodigies have had friction with someone here. There was a competition to determine who would win and who would lose, and even gambling was opened because of this. Some good people made a lot of money, and some people lost everything.
Lin Yan also heard about some characters who were only mentioned in the memory of his predecessor, such as Ba Dao Wu Ling, Northwest Wolf King, Zhengyang Sect's first disciple Liu Lingshen, Snow Mountain Goddess Xue Qingcheng, etc., all of whom have become famous in the world. A long-standing rising star in the martial arts world.
Among these things, there was one thing that was incompatible with the Sword Trial Conference. The Ouyang family from the north traveled thousands of miles to the foot of Changshan Pingding Mountain. Less than a day after arriving, they were massacred by a man in black with blood-red eyes. , the entire Ouyang family, thirteen people, were all killed.
This man with blood-red eyes once appeared in the Central Plains and committed several massacres. Several medium-sized martial arts families and sects were killed, which shocked the entire Central Plains. Three sects and six sects even issued a pursuit order. This person is wanted throughout the Jin Kingdom. It is strange to say that this man with blood-red eyes disappeared from the world after a pursuit order was issued. He was never heard from again, until he appeared this time and massacred thirteen members of the Ouyang family in the north.
This person has become famous, and can single-handedly slaughter martial arts families and martial arts sects. He is also extremely powerful. He is at least a top master level martial artist, and even an extreme master is not impossible.
Lin Yan, who was far away in the southwest, had also heard of this person. His predecessor had even received Lin Zhengnan's chivalrous education from an early age, and even had the ambition to kill this person and eliminate harm to the martial arts world. However, since this person disappeared, Yan Lian has not appeared in three years. Many people have rumored that this person has been killed by some powerful martial arts seniors. However, the strange thing is that the wanted order of the three sects and six sects has not been revoked.
