Chapter 440 I borrowed, not stole

Of course, Lin Yun would not do anything petty theft. After all, this is the Taiqing Taoist Temple. The Taiqing Taoist Temple is not a sect that is rich and unkind. So far, Lin Yun has not found any black spots on the Taiqing Taoist Temple.

In this case, we will definitely not steal, this is borrowing.

The so-called borrowing must be returned. If Lin Yun was not in a hurry and had no time to collect materials suitable for sword refining, Lin Yun would not have set his sights on Taiqing Dojo.

It would certainly not work to just ask for a loan, as he doesn't have that much face. Moreover, he is now hated by everyone in the Central Plains. Didn't Yu Quan want to kill him before? If he showed up to borrow something, he would be walking into a trap.

So, I had to borrow it secretly.

Lin Yun carefully lurked outside the Taiqing Taoist Temple, and then asked Xiaoqing to cast the Dragon Hide state on him.

This was Lin Yun's first time at the Taiqing Taoist Temple, and he didn't know where the treasure house was. But Lin Yun was very cunning. The Taiqing Taoist Temple also had places for refining elixirs and weapons. As long as he followed these places, he would be able to find the treasure house.

It is also easy to find the place for refining equipment. Refining equipment and making elixirs both require fire. As long as you feel carefully where the fire is the strongest, you will naturally find the place for refining equipment.

Long Yin only has one hour to go, so Lin Yun needs to finish it as soon as possible and run away without wasting any more time.

After releasing his divine consciousness, Lin Yun was surprised to find that the Taiqing Taoist Temple did not have any defensive formations. Perhaps this was the confidence of the big sects, as they believed that no one would dare to mess around in the Taiqing Taoist Temple.

I never thought that there would be such a bold person who came to Taiqing Taoist Temple to steal... uh no, borrow things.

"The fire is in the southeast, the place for refining weapons should be there."

Lin Yun quickly found the area where the fire spirit was most active. After a few twists and turns, he arrived in the southeast. His guess was correct. There was a hall in the southeast, named the Hall of Craftsmanship, which was the place for refining weapons. Near Lin Yun Road, he also heard a knocking sound.

This was the time when the furnace was being refined. Obviously, this was the right place.

Lin Yun sneaked in carefully and saw a big man with bare chest swinging a hammer. He was very focused on the blacksmithing, and there were some iron wood and rolling ambergris beside him.

Lin Yun had attended equipment refining classes and read some books, and knew that they were all auxiliary items.

Ironwood is something that is almost always used when refining a sword. Adding it can increase the hardness. The rolling dragon is a creature that looks like a snake, has four legs, and lives in caves. Its saliva acts as a retarder in refining, and is also indispensable in refining.

Lin Yun simply took advantage of the situation and collected all the things that the big man was going to use.

The big man concentrated on swinging the hammer, and when he finished he looked to the side and was stunned.

Where's my ironwood?

What about that big lump of ironwood?

Did I forget to take it?

"Uncle Yubing, disciple Zhenren requests to see you."

The big man was confused when Zhenren's voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Only then did Lin Yun realize that the big man swinging the hammer was actually from the Yu generation.

Yubing pinched the spell and suppressed the fire in the furnace a little, then shouted to the outside: "Come in."

Zhenren then walked in leisurely, and Yubing asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhenren couldn't help feeling a little depressed when he saw that Yubing seemed very impatient.

At this moment, another voice was speaking in his heart.

"He just looks down on you, otherwise why would he have this attitude."

There was only one sentence, Zhenren did not dare to think about it, and said quickly: "The disciple has just learned a new sword skill, and he still needs a spiritual sword, so I came to find Uncle Master."

"You should break through your realm first. Sword skills and treasures are just external things."

Yubing gave a lecture, then took out a jade token and said, "But you came at the right time. You can take any spiritual sword you like. And by the way, help me get some ironwood and rolling ambergris."

"yes."

Zhenren took the jade token respectfully, but the voice in his heart spoke again.

"This guy is also obsessed with refining weapons, but now he wants me to practice hard and help him get things. Does he treat me as a servant boy?"

"Shut up!"

Zhenren finally realized that something was wrong.

He has too many negative emotions today, and this inner voice is to blame.

Zhenren knew that when it came to guarding one's mind, one's own heart was the biggest enemy, and he hadn't noticed it before, but now it was too obvious.

He has developed a mental demon.

Zhenren didn't know that his inner demon was not created by himself.

After being reprimanded by Zhenren, the voice in his heart became even more arrogant. It was hiding at first, but now it said directly: "You are scared. In fact, this is what you think in your heart. I am just telling you. Why do people have to be so hypocritical?"

Zhenren was panicked and ran towards Jiange in a hurry, unaware that there was a little tail following him.

"This Zhenren's condition seems a little off."

Lin Yun followed Zhenren and noticed his abnormality.

Lin Yun immediately thought of the dream of Zhenren that he had seen in the Moon Goddess ruins. Oh my god, could this also be a traitor?

Lin Yun had this thought almost instantly and believed it without a doubt.

Traitors will attract each other. Lin Yun doesn’t know how many traitors he has seen. In short, he can run into them wherever he goes.

It's interesting. I just wanted to borrow something, but I encountered something like this...

In the Shenxiao Sect, he met Zhang Xiuya who was a traitor, in the Guanghan Palace, he met the Flower Fairy, and now in the Taiqing Taoist Temple, did Zhenren not escape after all?

Lin Yun followed silently, thinking that if he discovered any secrets, he would tell Yu Xuan, and that way, it would be considered as paying off his debt!

You're welcome.

They soon arrived at Jiange, which was where the Taiqing Dojo's treasures were hidden. Of course, there were only conventional treasures, such as the spiritual weapons refined by the Taiqing Dojo itself, and some less precious things obtained from the ruins, and finally the materials.

Although the more important treasures are in the hands of Yuxuan and some elders, this Sword Pavilion is still one of the most important places, so the guarding is relatively strict. Yubing is the elder in charge of the Sword Pavilion. Zhenren holds his jade token and can pass through unimpeded.

After all, he was Yuxuan's disciple. If he had to abide by the rules, he could just use his face to get in.

"What's the point of you taking an extra spiritual sword? Even if you learn another sword technique, are you a match for Lin Yu? She is several realms higher than you. Flower Fairy has also reached the Heaven Realm a long time ago. Those of the same generation are so strong, but you are still guarding the Heart Realm.

You may even be worse than Lin Yun, the man who just defected from the Shenxiao Sect!"

“That’s enough!”

Zhenren suddenly roared, and some disciples who were in charge of guarding the Sword Pavilion couldn't help but look over here. Zhenren couldn't help but feel nervous being watched by so many people.

"Brother Zhenren, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just give me some ironwood and rolling ambergris. Master Yubing is waiting for me."

Zhenren skipped the topic, and under the worried looks of many of his fellow disciples, he took the materials for refining, picked up a spiritual sword and hurried away.

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, but still chose to follow.

The materials are right here, you can come and get them at any time, but the secret of Zhenren will be missed once you miss it.

Zhenren hurriedly handed the materials to Yubing, without saying anything more, and left in a hurry.

Yubing tilted his head in confusion, but didn't think much about it and continued to swing the hammer.

Elsewhere, Zhenren hurried back to his room, the voice in his heart still talking.

"There's no point in struggling. I can give you great strength."

"Only when you have power can you secure your position as the headmaster. Beauty is only worthy of the strong."

"You are just a waste now. You can't keep anything you want. Listen to me. I am you. I won't hurt you..."

As the demonic sound echoed in his mind, Zhenren's will began to disintegrate, and his aura became increasingly unstable.

But at this moment, the broken jade in his arms suddenly fell out.

Zhenren's face changed and he immediately thought of how the jade was broken.

At the beginning, he betrayed his master and ancestors in his dream, immersed in the dream of being invincible in the world, and almost sunk. It was the amulet given by his master that woke him up, but as a price, the amulet was also broken.

Zhenren always felt guilty, so he kept the broken jade with him. He never thought that it would save him again.

Yuxuan's image reappeared in Zhenren's mind.

Perhaps, he was not good enough and the master did not like him that much, but the master treated him well.

Thinking of Yuxuan, he thought of Yuquan again. Although Yuquan was very strict with him, it must be for his own good.

There are so many fellow disciples...

Zhenren's originally confused and struggling eyes became more determined.

"Stop trying to seduce me. I won't listen to you!"

"You don't want the position of headmaster anymore?"

"What's mine is mine. At least I can still live and have the opportunity to pursue a higher path. Once I become a demon, nothing will be left. Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Don't worry, no one will find out that you are possessed..."

The voice continued to seduce Zhenren, but he no longer listened.

He sat cross-legged and chanted "Wu Wei".

This is a Taoist scripture, which talks about the method of purity and inaction. It is not a method of spiritual practice, but a way of being a human being.

Chanting scriptures can also help you calm your mind.

No matter what the inner voice said, he pretended not to hear it.

"It turns out this guy just encountered a demon in his heart."

Lin Yun sighed at the side, it was normal for the inner demon to be born in the guarding state, and no one could help. Seeing that Zhenren had already started chanting, he put away the jade talisman and quietly left.

Just now, he was stealing Zhenren's jade talisman.

The jade talisman was given to him by Yubing. Some of the defensive formations in the Sword Pavilion require a jade talisman to unlock.

Zhenren was distracted before and was busy giving the materials to Yubing, but forgot to return the jade talisman.

Yubing was also careless and forgot about this, but Lin Yun followed him and tried to steal Zhenren's jade talisman when he was not paying attention.

As a result, he accidentally brought out two pieces of broken jade.

Lin Yun was also startled and didn't dare to move.

Fortunately, Zhenren didn't notice him and slipped away...
