289: Chapter 226: Whirlwind (9) 289: Chapter 226: Whirlwind (9) In the hotel corridor.
A white-haired old man stood in front of the elevator, the Ei Sect Leader known as Bai i.
At this mont, Bai i was recalling the intelligence he had gathered.
“There’s no sign of Lin Xing anywhere; I don’t know where he went after today’s martial demonstration.”
“However, according to Tianfeng’s ssage, the Spirit Treasure Sect seems interested in contacting Lin Xing…”
It was said that at the martial demonstration site, soone saw Lin Xing discussing sothing with Fairy Yunxiao.
“Could it be that the Spirit Treasure Sect also knows about the Six Secret Immortal Refining?
Or perhaps their target are the treasures stolen from the lineage of Ei Sect Leaders?”
The Ei Sect Leader, Bai i, thought to himself, “Or is there another motive?”
After pondering back and forth, Bai i finally decided to probe Gu She Fairy from the Spirit Treasure Sect to see her attitude towards Lin Xing.
This would also determine how he should talk to Lin Xing in the future.
“I heard that Gu She Fairy and Fairy Yunxiao have been staying inside the hotel all night without leaving.
It’s a good opportunity for to find them while avoiding others.”
With this thought, Bai i planned to go to Gu She Fairy’s room to have a talk.
Little did he know that as soon as he reached her room and knocked, his keen hearing caught a scolding voice from inside:
“Open what damn door.”
“Tell him to get lost.”
Bai i was slightly startled, not expecting Gu She Fairy to show such an attitude towards him.
Suppressing his anger, Bai i calmly said, “Gu She Fairy, I have so matters I would like to discuss with you…”
But she cut him off, “Not interested.”
Bai i, being the Sect Leader of one of the nine major sects, had never been treated so rudely.
Murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and faint glimrs of sword light appeared sporadically around him.
If it were anyone else speaking to him in such a manner, he would have already sent a sword flying their way.
Just then, the door was hurriedly opened by Fairy Yunxiao, who looked apologetically at Bai i and said, “Sect Leader Bai i, my master is in a bad mood today.”
“She thought it was room service from the hotel and asked them to leave.”
“She didn’t know it was you outside.”
Bai i didn’t believe her explanation, considering Gu She Fairy’s cultivation level; how could she fail to detect that it was him standing outside?
But given the current complex situation, he indeed did not want to make enemies with the Spirit Treasure Sect and further complicate matters, at least not now…
Thus, Bai i temporarily rembered this grievance and said lightly, “Then I will co another ti to discuss matters with Gu She Fairy.”
After speaking, he turned and left, thinking to himself, “The whole world knows that Bai Yiyi and Lin Xing have killed mbers of our Ei Sect.”
“Not only is the Spirit Treasure Sect in contact with Lin Xing, but they also showed such hostility towards .”
“What are these won really up to?”
Watching Bai i’s departing figure, Fairy Yunxiao returned to the room with a helpless expression.
She said to Gu She Fairy, “Master, the Ei Sect rembers every offense and tries to repay it; offending them could be problematic.”
Gu She Fairy snorted coldly and casually replied, “With our talents, we’ve long offended them to death; why worry about offending them now?”
As she spoke, she glanced at the ti, her eyes flashing with intense anger: “Lin Xing dares to play ?”
“Hmph, so be it.”
Then, the carefully worn clothes she had on exploded into ashes and dissipated into the air.
In an instant, she was dressed in palace attire.
“Tell the Bright Buddha, I want to see him tomorrow.”
…
anwhile.
In Mirror World.
Inside a valley.
In front of a broken stele.
From the mont Lin Xing arrived here, ti had swiftly passed into the deep night.
Several elderly Shi Lin Temple monks still stood by, protecting Lin Xing as he intercepted the dragon veins for cultivation.
anwhile, others were scouting the area from afar.
Those far away didn’t concern them, but those who got too close were driven away by these monks.
At this mont, Lin Xing was seated cross-legged mid-air, behind him a scene flickering with hundreds of sword lights, akin to a sky full of twinkling stars.
In the center of this scene, the runes representing rigidity, softness, yin, and yang shone brightly, seeming to contain countless incomprehensible mysteries.
There was another rune that was intermittently visible, emitting an air of tranquility and mystery.
It was the symbol of the Earth Secret gradually being condensed by Lin Xing.
In Lin Xing’s perception, a vast and endless force of dragon veins beneath the earth surged towards him unceasingly, which he continuously drew into the scene, gradually transforming it into the power of the Earth Secret.
But after such frenzied extraction for so long, Lin Xing felt the dragon vein seed to show signs of weakening.
He thought to himself that this dragon vein was after all under Shi Lin Temple, and as a righteous man, he shouldn’t completely drain it.
It was ti to stop.
Moreover, the power of the dragon vein he had extracted at this point was sufficient for him to complete his cultivation of the Earth Secret.
So, he stopped and then turned to Monk Kongming beside him, saying, “The power of the dragon vein I extracted today is already enough for my cultivation.
I will not disturb any further.”
Unexpectedly, Kongming pointed to the ground and said, “Isn’t there more?
Young Master Lin, you don’t have to worry about Shi Lin Temple.
Our temple’s influence spans across the world, relying on our thousand-year-old Buddhist Law and our philosophy of selflessness.
Whether or not we have the dragon vein is immaterial.”
The other monks also persuaded, “Take so more, Young Master Lin, it’s all right to take it all.”
As they said, “The dragon vein is useless to us, better let you, young hero, use it for your cultivation.”
Cultivating the Earth Secret required tapping into the dragon vein, and in this process, the more dragon vein power one could obtain, the faster the cultivation speed and the more powerful the Earth Secret would beco.
Initially, Lin Xing only wanted to capture a part sufficient for himself to complete the Earth Secret.
But at this mont, under the enthusiastic persuasion of the monks, Lin Xing also recalled the scenes of the future he had witnessed and the ssages urging him to make a breakthrough soon.
“Since the monks of Shi Lin Temple are so straightforward, I need not hesitate.”
So, Lin Xing no longer refused and continued to extract copious amounts of power from the dragon vein beneath the earth.
Feeling the power of the dragon vein furiously pouring into his scene, he thought to himself, “Shi Lin Temple is too enthusiastic.
I should be thankful to them for being able to cultivate the Earth Secret so quickly.”
But Lin Xing, best known for his chivalry and righteousness, wondered how he could repay their kindness.
An idea suddenly struck him, a flash of realization, “If they really are like what Jing Shiyu and Tian Jizi said, committing evil deeds, then I should help them by enforcing the law, urging them to nd their ways.”
Lin Xing, though unmatched in chivalry, knew that he couldn’t manage all the injustices in the world, nor could he ddle in everything.
But now, because Shi Lin Temple had helped him gather the power of the dragon vein, Lin Xing had firmly engraved Shi Lin Temple in his heart.
If they made a mistake and strayed onto the wrong path, he would be the first to help them revert to righteousness and beco enlightened, understanding that this was truly for their benefit.
Keeping this in mind, Lin Xing then wholeheartedly imrsed himself in cultivation.
…
In another direction of the valley.
The Clan Leader, visibly annoyed, asked, “How is it?
Are they still there?”
Hours later, the Clan Leader again asked the young man who had returned from scouting, “Are they still extracting the power of the dragon vein?”
The next day at noon, the Clan Leader, with an ugly expression, listened to the youth’s report and thought to himself, “This is too much, really too much.”
“They’re extracting the dragon vein nonstop, like they don’t want to leave any roots at all.”
The youth beside him said, “Clan Leader, what can such evil people who kill on sight not do?
If they keep this up, the consequences are unimaginable!”
Naturally, the youth wasn’t worried about the Great Zhou Imperial Family being impacted due to the extraction of the dragon vein.
He and the others from his clan were concerned that the absence of the dragon vein could affect the surrounding land, worsening their living conditions.
The Clan Leader heard this but shook his head and sighed, “Let everyone endure a bit longer.
It’s better to have the dragon vein extracted than to lose their lives.”
With that, he sneered, “And even if we don’t act, the Great Zhou Imperial Family, when they set up this dragon vein, also left a contingency plan.”
“I thought these Demon People would steal so qi and leave.”
“They’re so audacious to think of uprooting it entirely?
Truly courting death.”
The Clan Leader shook his head and said, “This dragon vein of the Great Zhou Imperial Family isn’t sothing everyone can withstand.”
That night, the Clan Leader stood on a distant cliff overlooking Lin Xing and his group’s location and could see the sky turning stormy with roiling black clouds and flashes of lightning.
In the valley, a fierce gust swept through like wailing ghosts and howling wolves.
As the dragon vein was so intensely extracted within this day and night, the environnt of the entire valley worsened rapidly.
The once-thriving forest gradually beca dry and withered.
The originally clear water sources also beca turbid and polluted.
Even the animals in the forest seed to have developed an extra bit of ferocity.
Looking at all these anomalies, the Clan Leader thought, “This is reaching the root of this dragon vein, and it must stir the Dragon Soul that has been slumbering deep within the earth…”
Just then, a thunderous dragon roar erupted suddenly, resonating throughout the valley, causing countless creatures to tremble in fear and scatter in panic.
And under the shocked eyes of the Clan Leader and his people, a golden figure slowly erged from beneath the ground.
The Clan Leader sighed, “Human greed knows no bounds; they’re done for.”
At the sa ti, a majestic voice like rolling thunder swept across all directions, causing everyone’s ears to ring.
“Who dares…”
The golden figure emitted an imnse pressure, each movent resonating with the dragon vein within the earth, causing the surrounding cliffs to loudly crumble.
