But what makes him a little helpless is that the internal energy accumulated after each cycle of inner energy ten times is enough to increase the progress a little.
So far, he has only accumulated two points.
"That is to say, if I want to break through the first level, I still need 98% of the progress, and I can only circulate the inner qi once a day, otherwise the body's meridians can't bear it. It takes ten cycles to make some progress. After all, I still need 980 days.
To break through to the second level... wouldn't it take more than two years and almost three years?!"
Lin Xin did the math in his mind. He originally thought it would be quick after seeing the progress, but he didn't expect it would still take so long.
"Junior sister is only eighteen years old this year, and she has already reached the second level. She is indeed much more talented than me..." Lin Xin sighed. "It's no wonder that my uncle looks at him differently."
After sensing the internal Qi circulation in the body, I swallowed slowly like a snail. I didn't dare to speed up my thoughts, otherwise the body's meridians would suddenly feel like tearing pain. If I was injured somewhere, I would have to spend time recuperating and waiting for recovery.
After exhaling helplessly, Lin Xin opened his eyes and saw that Master Ji Lu was still the same, meditating in the same posture since he entered the temple.
Uncle Yunzi, on the other hand, was holding a book and reading it intently. There was also a small wine bottle on the side. He didn't know where he got it from, and he would take a sip from time to time.
It was a little dark outside and it was still raining. Looking out from the door of the ruined temple, it was all gray and nothing could be seen beyond a distance of ten meters.
There was a bonfire burning in the middle of the temple. Lin Xin leaned over and felt a little cold, so he stretched out his hands near the fire to keep warm.
The coachman Lin Yuansheng dozed off next to the Buddha statue in the temple, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth and dripping on the ground, sleeping soundly.
Lin Xin heated up the fire for a while and wanted to drink some water. Seeing him like this, it was hard to wake him up, so he simply got up, took the water bag from Lin Yuansheng's side, and poured a cup out of a simple leather cup.
"Here... there is a ruined temple over here, come on, come on!" Suddenly, a man's shout came from outside, and it seemed like someone was coming.
Lin Xin was holding a leather cup and was about to drink when he saw a man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat rushing into the temple from the rain. Two people also wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat quickly ran in behind him.
The light yellow raincoats on the three of them were dripping with water. When they took off their bamboo hats, they were suddenly a middle-aged man and two young men and women. They looked like they were wearing weapons on their waists and wearing tight-fitting clothes. They seemed to be people traveling in the world.
Seeing someone in the temple, the middle-aged man who came in first bowed his hands to Lin Xin, who was standing there. Without saying anything, he found another corner to take off his raincoat.
The two young men at the back looked at Lin Xin and the four of them with curious eyes, as if they had just left home not long ago.
Lin Xin put down the water bag and felt some pain in his meridians. He knew that he could not practice anymore today because the meridians had limited endurance and could not overdo it.
He had nothing to do, so he simply leaned against the wall and began to doze off. However, the cold wall with the back of his head felt uncomfortable, and the faint musty smell in the ruined temple made it not a good place to sleep.
The three people who had just come in over there had already started to light a fire. However, it had been raining for too long, and most of the dry firewood in the temple had been picked up by Lin Xin and the others. All they picked up were wet branches.
"If you don't mind, come over and bake together." Master Ji Lu woke up at some point, opened his eyes and said calmly.
"A few Taoist priests are bothering me." The middle-aged man smiled, nodded politely to Ji Lu, and brought the two young men over to sit by the bonfire.
"I wonder where the Taoist priests are coming from?" The middle-aged man started to ask casually with nothing to do.
"We are coming from the direction of Hongsong City." Boyunzi also sat over, "Your accent sounds like someone from Suyang nearby?"
"You have good hearing. We are indeed from Suyang."
The middle-aged man soon started chatting with Boyunzi. Lin Xin was just listening. He heard the middle-aged man say that something troublesome seemed to have happened over there in Hongsong City. A lot of people were rushing there recently.
.
Boyunzi inquired about the situation carefully, and it seemed that the entire Red Pine City had become a place of right and wrong. Who knew who was spreading the news, saying that there was a treasure there, and many people in the world rushed there, and some were just trying to find it.
It's lively, and some people have a peep at the treasures.
"I heard that there was golden light shining deep in the Red Pine Mountain over there. I don't know if it's true. Anyway, many people claimed to have seen it. As the news spread, many people in the world rushed there."
The middle-aged man whispered.
"The golden light is shining?" A strange color flashed in Boyunzi's eyes.
"Now many people around are rushing to Red Pine City. I heard that everyone from Plum Blossom Gate has set off."
"Really? Even the Plum Blossom Gate has sent out manpower." Ji Lu's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were also a little surprised.
"There must be a letter from Meihua Gate confirming it, otherwise we wouldn't rush there after hearing such news."
The middle-aged man also planned to take his two children at home to see the world and go to Red Pine City.
Lin Yuansheng also came over. He knew the situation in Red Pine City the best. He had traveled around for many years and had rich experience. He immediately started chatting enthusiastically with the two young people who had no experience in the world.
Lin Xin was standing by, chiming in and listening.
As we chatted, the rain outside the ruined temple finally lightened up a bit and seemed to be on the verge of stopping completely.
Ji Lu opened his mouth and continued on his way, and the others didn't object. They were tired of staying in this ruined temple for two days, and the beans and hay the horses carried were not enough. If they didn't leave, they might have to go to replenish the supplies later, which would be very troublesome.
Leaving the bonfire for that family, the four of them led the horses and carriage out of the temporary hay shed that protected the rain, got in the car and continued on their way.
Lin Yuansheng put the oilcloth on the horses to protect them from the rain to prevent them from getting sick due to too much rain, then took out his whip and started on the road.
"Is there a treasure in Red Pine City?" Lin Xin was still thinking about it while sitting in the carriage. Then Immortal Su Wan went to investigate the strange incident, why did he find another treasure?
As we marched from noon to late afternoon, the rain finally stopped.
There were more carriages and knights approaching on the horse road ahead. Most of them were in a hurry, only the occasional caravan was a little slower.
After passing the boundary of Suyang City and entering the Sushan area, the sky was getting dark. Lin Yuansheng was looking for a suitable place to rest. Three yellow gelding knights came in front of the carriage. They were galloping towards the left side of the carriage.
pass by.
"Hey~~~" Suddenly a male knight on horseback stopped his horse and raised his hand to the carriage.
"Is this Songlin's junior brother in the car?"
Ji Lu opened the curtain from inside the car.
"It turns out they are three senior brothers from the Plum Blossom Sect. Are these three here for Red Pine City?"
"Exactly, we have been ordered to support Senior Sister Su Wan. Could you please tell Junior Brother about the situation there?" the male knight said sternly.
Ji Lu frowned and quickly told what he knew about the situation.
The three knights said their goodbyes again in a hurry and went on their way.
Ji Lu frowned and put down the car curtain, but Lin Xin felt a little worried.
"Even that enchantress Su Wan has to ask for support. It is conceivable that the situation over there may not be good."
"It's useless for you to worry. This matter is no longer something we can interfere with. It's best for us to stay away from the center of the whirlpool of right and wrong." Boyunzi patted Lin Xin on the shoulder, took out a pipe, lit it and started smoking.
"Yes." Lin Xin nodded and put his thoughts away. He could only pray that nothing would happen to his family. Although they didn't spend much time together, they were his roots in this world after all.
After that, they were on the road for another five or six days. The four of them replenished water and food at a tourist shop on the roadside. They left the Sushan area, climbed over several barren mountains again, and finally arrived in front of a fast-flowing river.
The river is like a jade belt, flowing from west to east. The carriage stops at a small market town on the river bank. According to Boyunzi, this river used to be the sect of the Songlin Sword Sect, so non-sect members cannot cross the river.
Yes, Lin Yuansheng can only stay in this small town.
Lin Xin could understand that he left half of the gold leaves given by Lin Zhiwen to Lin Yuansheng and asked him to find a place to live in the town. He originally thought that these gold leaves would be enough to buy a property in the town. After all, if it were converted
The purchasing power of RMB is at least millions. Unexpectedly, the housing prices in this place called Mingshui Town are extremely expensive. All the gold leaves are not enough. It was Boyunzi who lent Lin Xin an ingot of gold and was able to buy the town.
A small yard. The remaining money and materials are enough for Lin Yuansheng to live here for about a year.
Lin Xin was led by Ji Lubo Yunzi and boarded the boat to cross the river.
The three of them stood on the bow of the boat, looking across the river at the looming mountains behind the mist.
Ji Lu touched his chin mustache and introduced to Lin Xin.
"Our Songlin Sword Sect is the only sect among the four sects that has an extremely low threshold for entry. No matter how you get the inner energy, no matter how poor your qualifications are, no matter what your character is, as long as you have inner energy, as long as you meet the three requirements
Anyone who is under ten years old can start. Of course, after you start, you will only be a registered disciple. If you cannot become a regular disciple within ten years, you will be sent to the outer sect, or you will perform a departure mission and live independently from the sect."
"In this way, not just anyone can enter the sect? The same goes for evildoers and spies." Lin Xin was a little confused by the approach of the Songlin Sword Sect.
"It's useless, that's it. The number of disciples of our Songlin Sword Sect is still decreasing every year, and the casualties are too great. You will know later." Boyunzi sighed on the side. "If you ask for a character review again, then my sword
There are no people left in the faction long ago. As long as you don’t have an extremely hostile temperament and swear an oath of hard work, you won’t bother to care so much.”
Lin Xin was speechless. It sounded like the struggle within the sword sect was very bad.
"But you don't have to be afraid." Ji Lu continued, "There is a rule within the sect not to kill fellow disciples, and most of the disciples are running around for money and tasks every day, and they also have to improve their cultivation, so they generally don't have time to fight with each other.
"
At this point, he remained silent, and Boyunzi also stopped talking.
Under the helm of the boatman, the boat slowly approached the shore of the Mingshui River.
