"I have it!!"
Song Lin thought of a solution, which was to let Yun Xiao take more credit.
Thinking of this, Song Lin forced blood out while channeling his energy and fainted on the ground.
Before long, Yun Xiao circled in the sky and finally saw Song Lin below.
Yun Xiao imdiately flew down, gently helping Song Lin lean against a tree, then pressed down on his acupoint and infused a bit of mana.
After a long ti, Song Lin slowly regained consciousness, the fair cheeks right in front of him, with a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose.
"Is the Thunder Striking Mountain God dead?" Song Lin asked confusedly, but was secretly thinking about how Yun Xiao would react if she found out the Xuan Lady’s identity was exposed.
However, Song Lin wouldn’t reveal it easily, keeping it as a trump card.
In front of this person, it was better not to easily reveal that he had traded for a cultivation technique.
"The Thunder Striking Mountain God was killed by the Heavenly Master, you can rest assured, Taoist friend," Yun Xiao carelessly sat by Song Lin’s side.
She seed cold on the outside, but if you ward up to her, she beca quite passionate.
"I’m planning to let you have the main credit," Yun Xiao suddenly said.
"No way, Taoist friend, you absolutely cannot." Song Lin hastily refused, "If you hadn’t co to my aid just now, I would have been eaten by demons long ago."
Song Lin was rather uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable because he had never been so close to a woman.
"Even if I don’t have the main credit, I’ll still have plenty of dharma coins and rit rewards when I return, but you’ll have nothing when you go back."
Song Lin was not from the Sun, Moon, Five Star Mansion, so he couldn’t receive the rewards, and probably wouldn’t get any after returning either.
She still rembered the orders of the Huoyun Taoist.
Song Lin was assisting them because of the punishnt for attacking fellow disciples, theoretically unable to receive any rewards.
"Never mind, what’s due will eventually co."
Yun Xiao couldn’t argue with Song Lin, so she had to agree.
The night was profound, the stars stretched for miles.
The two fell silent, and the atmosphere beca sowhat awkward.
Then, Yun Xiao suddenly asked, "You’re a Divine Establishnt. How do you have the Upper Pure Three Cave Five Thunder Talisman?"
The Five Thunder Talisman can only be owned by those at the Core Formation, approximately between the standard sixth-rank and the secondary fourth-rank.
Yet Song Lin had the Five Thunder Talisman, and yet held a secondary sixth-rank position, this combination was puzzling.
"It’s like this..."
Song Lin briefly explained the process of receiving the talisman.
Starting from the demons of Jiuyou, to temporarily acting as the temple master.
"So this talisman was inherited."
"Ah, you’ve had a rough ti of it." Yun Xiao, a disciple of the Spirit Treasure Celestial Master, held a low position but high status, and had never really been bullied, so she couldn’t comprehend it.
"Taoist School values rules and hierarchy. Originally, the temple master is the lowest among the managent, and you are still the acting talisman holder, no wonder the Taoist is so harsh on you."
She also witnessed the matters between Song Lin and Tianwu.
Under those circumstances, it was indeed Tianwu who was at fault first, and Song Lin only injured the fellow.
According to the rules, big issues beco small and small issues beco nothing.
It was evident Song Lin didn’t et the rank requirents.
"Further up in the Taoist School, the vote from Five Thunder Talisman is extrely important; it’s generally unwise to easily offend a temple master, you should reach Core Formation soon."
"A vote..." Song Lin grasped the familiar term.
"With the Tao, there are many supporters; without the Tao, there are few. Sotis power isn’t enough to get you chosen, having many supporters is vital."
"The future path is long. Starting from temple master, moving to Taoist, Lord Cao, Hall Master, Departnt Director, chancellor Left Minister, and finally Heavenly Master."
"I’ve learned a lot," Song Lin said sincerely.
With the Tao, there are many supporters; without the Tao, there are few.
Yun Xiao’s words were on point.
Song Lin had never known how to forge good relationships with others.
Forming alliances with other Taoist Temples, and having others heed your orders wasn’t collusion.
If he wanted to beco a Taoist, he would not only have to change himself, but also change others.
There were twenty-three Taoist Temples in the i Mountain Jungle; if he could get more than half of them, and more than half of the jungle’s high-level entities, to support him, he’d have a chance to beco a Taoist.
How to make them support him?
Seeing Yun Xiao, Song Lin suddenly thought of sothing.
Many otherworldly Taoist Skills remained unused, and those used changed him greatly.
He held an imnse knowledge base, and it was a pity many Taoist Skills weren’t put to use.
The two chatted for a while, finally bidding each other farewell as they parted.
Song Lin went alone to a place not far from Wuxi City.
Shi Yinhua and others were hiding.
"Is everything okay?" Song Lin had sent ahead people to assist if needed, thankfully they weren’t necessary; otherwise, they could have been killed by the aftermath of the battle.
"It’s okay, we stayed far away; only a few fellow Daoists fainted."
Shi Yinhua was a bit embarrassed.
"As long as it’s fine."
The group returned to the mountain’s Taoist Temple.
Song Lin t with the Left Archivist garrisoned with Master Chi Hai, and it must be said that Chi Hai’s subordinates were quite courteous and very respectful to him.
Returned to the secret chamber.
Song Lin released the Coiled Dragon Jade.
The Coiled Dragon held a brownish-yellow bead in its mouth.
This should be the Thunder Striking Mountain God’s inner core, sowhat resembling a Demon Core, perhaps from another body.
The Coiled Dragon swallowed the Demon Core, its body inflated like an air-filled balloon, quickly swelling to five zhang, and awakened the Divine Skill of poison miasma, enabling it to release toxins without biting in the future.
Having finished this, Song Lin retrieved it.
In the dim secret chamber, he began to ponder carefully.
The grievances with the Holy Might Heavenly Master could be set aside for the mont; the urgent task was to break through to Core Formation.
Song Lin currently held the position of a Secondary Sixth-rank Heavenly Spirit Red Official Yin Official General and i Mountain Jungle’s informal Yin Mountain Guardian.
In theory, the lowest rank for the Five Thunder Talisman was the sixth rank, but because he hadn’t broken through to Core Formation.
Therefore, achieving Core Formation was extrely pressing, for only then could he qualify to run for Taoist.
Next, he had to consider how to win over other Taoist Temples.
"Water Technique can be used to win over the Five Ghosts Temple, Taiyin Refining Technique could perhaps win over Qi Eating Temple and Chaozhen Temple."
He needed to understand other Taoist Temples, apply the right solutions to the right problems.
Of course, all the alliances were for others to obey his commands and be used by him, not to curry favor with anyone.
The premise for all this was having powerful strength.
Otherwise, he would just be throwing money away, being foolish.
Over the days, Song Lin continuously cultivated.
Spending most of his days and nights in the Undying Pill World.
Ten years passed in that world, and Song Lin successfully broke through to the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, narrowly missing a transformation of True Qi.
This proved that the Cultivation path he created wasn’t too bad.
In the real world, besides the initial unexpectedness, Xuanke Temple and Shanyin residents gradually reduced casualties against the demons of the Dragon Abyss Conference.
The Taoist Temple steadily progressed, and the disciples’ achievents also rose steadily.
Under environntal pressure, the Taoist Temple began to birth geniuses, with the top three standing out the most.
Three people stood before Song Lin, two n and one woman.
The woman nad Pei Yu, beautiful in appearance, possessing the Innate Yin Qi Body, excellent at Refining Soldiers.
A man with sword-like brows and starry eyes, nad Yan Jiuge, seemingly sensitive to lightning and thunder with an innate ability.
Another seemingly ordinary-looking man with an unusual aura, nad Guu Yuchan, bore the Moon Toad Bloodline, excelling in Qi Refinent.
"Greeting to the temple master!"
Eight Taoist disciples all bowed together.
"Temple Master, these are the candidates for this Three Passes Conference."
"Let lead the team this ti,"
Song Lin said.
It was a good opportunity to et so colleagues.
Shi Yinhua hesitated a mont, then said, "Temple Master, perhaps it’s ti to consider taking on disciples."
