I’m Lin Yun—born with incredible talent. I thought I’d be trained as a core disciple… but then—
“The demonic sect would never expect us to send someone this gifted as a spy. Once ...
Chapter 20 Sigh Under the Water
In the Yellow Wind Valley, Lin Yun quickly spent seven days.
During the day, he worked as a gold miner in the mine and earned twenty Lotus Coins every day. At night, he went into the water to practice. The golden liquid in his body had gathered into a small lake.
The feeling of watching his cultivation level grow every day was so wonderful that Lin Yun almost forgot that he went into the water to look for treasures.
After staying underwater for several consecutive days, the Qinglong Gu's adaptability has become much stronger.
In order to urge Qinglong Gu to work harder, Lin Yun would feed it a drop of golden spiritual liquid that he had refined himself before and after it worked.
He felt that these things in his body could no longer be called true qi. Considering that the essence of true qi was just compressed and purified spiritual energy, and these liquids appeared after the true qi was purified, Lin Yun named it spiritual liquid.
After eating the spiritual liquid, the Qinglong Gu not only worked harder, but also seemed to have grown a lot.
That night, Lin Yun dived into the water as usual. In the past few days, he had collected enough props and planned to explore the bottom of the lake.
"Xiaoqing, you have worked hard for a few days. To reward your diligence, I will reward you with five drops of spiritual liquid today."
If calculated by drops, the Qinglong Gu can get fifty drops of golden spiritual liquid after absorbing spiritual energy at the bottom of the lake for an hour and then spitting it out for purification. After starting to take the golden spiritual liquid, the Qinglong Gu can work for eight hours a day, which is four hundred drops a day.
After seven days, Lin Yun felt embarrassed to give it only two drops of spiritual liquid.
After getting Lin Yun's promise, the Qinglong Gu happily fluttered in Lin Yun's sea of qi.
This is a good child. He soaks in the golden spiritual liquid every day, but never eats it secretly. He works diligently every day until he can't absorb it anymore. Then he soaks in the spiritual liquid to restore his spirit and is full of energy the next day.
Come to think of it, he should also thank Bilian for sending him such a useful tool snake.
After the little green snake swam excitedly for a while, Lin Yun continued, "I heard that you are best at hiding. Can you help me hide as well?"
Seeing the little green snake nodded, Lin Yun finally felt relieved.
Bilian said that Qinglong Gu can be used to save lives, and it can be used now.
During the underwater exploration, Lin Yun was both nervous and excited. He took out a piece of glowing stone from his arms, which illuminated the area within two meters around him.
Although visibility is low, it is better than the pitch darkness before.
This shining stone is the most abundant mineral in the Death Zone. It absorbs the essence of the sun and is a material for refining weapons. It has a certain inhibitory effect on evil spirits.
Lin Yun mined a few pieces from the mine and brought them out, and no one minded.
The Radiant Stone is not valuable, because both the righteous and evil cultivators are not afraid of the evil ways of the spirits, so the Radiant Stone seems to be very worthless.
Lin Yun just happened to use it for lighting. He only had five stones on him. He took one in his hand, threw one out, and explored the way ahead, leaving three as reserves.
Lin Yun's exploration progress was very slow as he kept throwing and picking up things.
But it is better to be safe than sorry. I have a bright future ahead of me, and I cannot risk my life for just one chance.
With the previous lesson in mind, Lin Yun was also silently calculating the time in his mind.
He was extremely nervous and cautiously guarded against possible dangers. Finally, something different appeared in the place illuminated by the glowing stone thrown by Lin Yun.
He saw something like an altar.
"Xiaoqing, help me hide."
The little green snake, which had been resting and playing in the water, heard the command and began to coil inside Lin Yun's body. Gradually, Lin Yun felt that he was no longer a person, but part of the water at the bottom of the lake.
Is this the effect of concealment? Very powerful.
Lin Yun moved over stealthily, and suddenly a faint blue light appeared at the altar. In the center of the altar was a white beam of light. In the middle of the beam of light, a blue sphere was suspended in it, rotating slowly.
This bead should be a magical treasure with water attribute.
Originally, Lin Yun was thinking of taking the bead away himself, but when he looked at the altar, he felt that this treasure could not be touched.
Doesn't it often happen in novels and TV dramas? In a sealed place, there will always be a few fools who go there, take away the most important sealed object, and then cause a disaster.
Lin Yun doesn't want to do such a stupid thing.
Although the treasure is good, as Dongfang Hongyue said, since no one can take it away, it is better to leave it here.
However, since Lin Yun is here, he still wants to do some research.
After confirming that there were no other living creatures here, Lin Yun raised the Glowing Stone and looked around. Three meters away from the altar, Lin Yun found a stone tablet.
I feel more at ease when there is an instruction manual.
【Five Spirits to Suppress Evil·Xuanshui】
[The god is called **, the god of water, the ancestor of water spirits, and the mother of all living things. ]
[The world is in ruins, evil karma is rampant, return to the source with your body, exorcise demons and suppress evil. 】
Lin Yun: “…”
What is written on this stone tablet?
Relying on his level as a liberal arts student in his previous life, Lin Yun tried his best to translate it. It turned out that there was a god called the Water God, who was very powerful. However, where the Water God's name was, Lin Yun felt that there were words on the stone tablet, but he could not see clearly what they were.
He didn't force himself. If he couldn't see clearly, he wouldn't look at it.
Lin Yun had no problem understanding the first four sentences, but the last four sentences were a bit incoherent and confusing.
But seeing that the words "Zhen Xie" appeared twice, Lin Yun felt that this bead was most likely an important sealing object.
Well, today I'll just come here to broaden my horizons. Although this treasure looked very attractive, Lin Yun resisted his greed and slipped away.
Lin Yun walked away without looking back, as if he just came here to take a look.
After Lin Yun left, a long sigh suddenly sounded from the empty center of the lake. Then, the light from the altar went out, the beads slowly sank into the altar, and the stone tablet gradually disappeared...
After Lin Yun left, he did not regret losing an important opportunity, although he felt that the bead was definitely a great treasure.
"Write it down first, and come back to get it when you are invincible later."
Lin Yun found a place where he felt relatively safe and began to practice again.
Now that I'm here, I have to do something, otherwise all my work tonight will be in vain.
Qinglong Gu started working again.
At this time, someone was waiting for Lin Yun on the shore.
"Valley Master, this Lin Yun dives into the water every day and stays there for half the night. He must have some secret."
The one waiting for Lin Yun was none other than the master of the Huangfeng Valley, Hong Ling.
Although no one seemed to be watching the newcomers, Hongling had actually been keeping a close eye on them. She had made a note of anyone who behaved strangely in her little notebook.
Among them, Lin Yun was the one she paid the most attention to, and her subordinates would report Lin Yun's movements every day.
Everyone else knows to be more restrained, but Lin Yun is the only one who dives into water every day, afraid that others don't know that he is an undercover?
It became so difficult for Hongling to just open one eye and close one eye, she had to close both eyes.
Tonight, she must teach Lin Yun a lesson!
