Since you want to deal with a foundation-building monk.
Then naturally you need to strengthen yourself to the greatest extent.
Lin Xi was already very close to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
After more than three months of fighting, his foundation has been polished to a very complete and solid foundation.
Breakthrough has long been a matter of course.
"Shi Zhong, please help me. If anyone comes to me, just decline politely. Have a good attitude and don't make the other party angry," Lin Xi said.
Shi Dong nodded: "No problem."
Lin Xi returned to her cave and activated the ban.
They are all simple restrictions.
Even Lin Xi can't do it.
After pondering for a while, Lin Xi took out a few more puppets and placed them in a row at the entrance of the cave. If someone forced their way into the cave, they could at least block them for a while.
Although the likelihood of this happening is low, you still have to be cautious.
Lin Xi finished the exercise cross-legged, calmly concentrating, and carefully recalled the exercises in her mind.
The mind slowly sinks in.
The spiritual power circulates freely in the meridians, forming a circle starting from the Dantian Jade Platform, and then a trace of warm current flows through the body, as if it has entered some kind of ethereal state.
The essence and blood all over his body gradually transformed into wisps of pure Qi.
White mist rises and fills the entire cave.
Originally, what was bred in the sea of consciousness was a filament-like spiritual thought, but as the spiritual power circulated around the world, the filaments seemed to gradually become thicker.
Little by little.
The entire cave abode slowly appeared in the sea of consciousness.
Every detail.
At the twelfth level of Qi refining, the spiritual consciousness will truly initially leave the body, which will have a huge impact on the outcome of the fight.
Being able to control the overall situation in battle is undoubtedly very important.
If you want to narrow the gap with the foundation-building monks, it is very important to upgrade your realm to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
If we say that the eleventh level of Qi refining is hopeless.
The twelfth level of Qi refining means a narrow escape from death.
There's at least a 10% chance.
...
...
Outside the cave.
An old man in white robes flew over using the escape light.
He has a strong aura and contains golden light. Although his hair is white, he has a childlike face. He has obviously reached the state of rejuvenation, or at least should be in the golden elixir state.
Xu Shi, the deacon of Luxingtang.
Don't think he is just a deacon.
However, Luxingtang has a very high status in Qingyun Sect, so even if he is just a deacon, his status is much higher than other elders.
No one from the Qingyun Sect is willing to be found by the Luxing Hall, because it means a lot of trouble.
Xu Shi came to the outside of Lin Xi's Cave Mansion, with the spirit of immortality and his superiority.
"Where is Lin Xi?" Xu Shi's voice was not loud, but it rarely spread throughout the entire fairy peak.
But when the voice fell, no one responded.
Xu Shi frowned and was asked again: "Where is Lin Xi?"
This time I finally got a response.
A tall Qi refining disciple flew out in a hurry.
"Well, you're not Lin Xi, are you?" Xu Shi frowned.
Shi Zhong shook his head: "I'm not, Lin Xi is in seclusion."
"Retreat?"
"Yes, I work for him, and I can't let outsiders interfere with his cultivation."
Xu Shi said in a deep voice: "I am the deacon of Luxing Hall. I have something to ask him now. Is there any way you can inform him so that he can stop being in seclusion and come out for a while?"
"This won't work, Lin Xi is making a breakthrough." Shi Zhong said straightforwardly.
Xu Shi reminded: "I am the deacon of Luxingtang."
"Not even the sect leader!" Shi Zhongzhen said plausibly: "Don't the sects have special regulations? No one is allowed to interfere with others' retreat by any means."
Retreat is a very common thing.
In order to achieve a breakthrough, to practice certain magical powers, to refine magic weapons, etc., they will choose to retreat.
However, if any interference occurs during retreat, it is easy for all previous efforts to be wasted.
So the sect will have such regulations.
In fact, this is also a common practice in the world of immortality.
If you disturb others' retreat, you will be considered to have bad conduct.
But of course there are many exceptions in reality.
When a high-ranking elder comes to see you, unless it is a particularly critical moment, he will naturally come out to greet you. This is the real situation.
As a Qi refining disciple, how dare you offend a Jindan level monk.
But Shi Zhong didn't understand this.
He knew that Lin Xi did not want to be disturbed, and the sect also had regulations that did not allow disturbing, so it was definitely not allowed to be disturbed.
Xu Shi choked: "I have something very important to tell Lin Xi."
"Then just wait a little longer." Shi Zhong thought for a while and said, "Lin Xi should be out of confinement soon."
In desperation, Xu Shi could only wait outside the cave.
Naturally, he was in a very bad mood.
I thought it was just a small matter, just a matter of mediation.
Unexpectedly, I was rejected.
This is a bit frustrating.
This wait lasted three days.
Three days later, just when Xu Shi couldn't wait any longer, Lin Xi finally came out of seclusion.
Lin Xi's aura became much stronger at this moment, and she was firmly at the twelfth level of Qi refining.
He felt that his consciousness was much stronger, but he vaguely felt a bottleneck.
Now that we have reached the peak of our mortal body, if we want to improve further, we must shed our mortal body, condense immortal seeds at the Zifu Lingtai, condense gas into liquid, and lay the foundation for cultivating immortals.
At that time, spiritual consciousness is truly not limited to the sea of consciousness, and can truly perceive the heaven and earth.
"You are finally out of seclusion." Xu Shi said, with a hint of resentment in his tone.
I am a dignified golden elixir cultivator, but I am waiting for a Qi refining disciple to come out of seclusion.
What a deal.
Lin Xi was surprised: "Who are you?"
Shi Zhong explained from the side: "It's the deacon of Luxingtang. It seems that he wants to see you for something important."
Lin Xi knew it in her heart.
Sure enough, he still came.
"Disciple Lin Xi has met the deacon." Lin Xi saluted and said.
Seeing this, Xu Shi's resentment dissipated a little.
What kind of common knowledge can I have with a qi-refining disciple?
Xu Shi nodded slightly: "I came here today to discuss something with you."
"Master Deacon, please speak." Lin Xi said.
"Are you and Hu Jun having some trouble?"
"Not bad." Lin Xi nodded.
"The sect is already aware of this matter, and they know that it is not your fault." Xu Shi said: "But we are all disciples of the same sect, so harmony is still the most important thing."
Lin Xi's eyes moved slightly: "What does the deacon mean?"
"Why don't you reconcile privately."
"OK."
Lin Xi readily agreed.
His attitude surprised Xu Shi.
Is this agreed?
"The Hu family promised to give you some compensation." Xu Shi said.
Lin Xi shook his head: "No, no, no, I am willing to reconcile, and compensation is not necessary. Mr. Deacon, you are right, peace is the most important thing."
Unexpectedly, Lin Xi was so successful, Xu Shi was very satisfied.
"I'm very happy that you think so." Xu Shi said.
He has a good relationship with a certain big shot in the Hu family, so he is willing to step forward as the peacemaker.
"In that case, I'll leave first."
Now that the mediation has been completed, the matter has been revealed, and Xu Shi is ready to leave.
Lin Xi suddenly shouted: "Deacon, please wait a moment."
"What's wrong?"
"Is the elder in charge of punishment in the sect?"
"No, Zhenjun went to visit friends in the Fairy Mountain." When he mentioned Zhenjun Tianhe, Xu Shi showed a trace of respect on his face.
Lin Xi smiled: "That means he doesn't know about this."
"nature."
For some reason, Lin Xi's smile made Xu Shi feel a little awkward.
"It's okay then, go away, Mr. Deacon."
Xu Shi left with a puzzled expression.
Lin Xi watched off with a smile.
No wonder.
You must know that what Zhenjun Tianhe values most is the rules of the sect.
The reason why he was willing to introduce Lin Xi to the family in the first place was because he owed a favor to an adult when he was young. If he refused, it would be harmful to his Taoism. Normally, he would abhor the violation of the rules of the family, both in disguise and in disguise.
Shi Zhong asked: "Does Lin Xi really want to reconcile?"
Even he felt that this was not good.
After all, Hu Jun had hunted them down.
Lin Xi sneered: "Reconciliation is nothing. Hu Jun and I are destined to be in a life-and-death situation. Reconciliation? That means waiting to die."
