"Zhirui, why are you so happy?"
An old man with a white beard and an immortal-like appearance, who was sitting opposite Lin Zhirui, asked.
“When friends come from afar, it makes me happy.”
Lin Zhirui put away the jade compass and said with a smile.
"Oh, I wonder who this young talent is?"
Looking at the smile on his face, the old man with a sage-like appearance became curious.
This disciple of mine seemed to have a calm personality and was very kind to everyone.
In fact, he is very proud and ordinary people are simply not worthy of his attention.
Therefore, he was somewhat curious about what kind of person could make his most outstanding disciple so happy.
"Master should also know this person. He is the Chen Songqing in Cangzhou that I once mentioned to you, Senior Chen."
"Oh, is that the one you mentioned, the innate realm expert with the light of merit?"
The old man with a sage-like demeanor suddenly became interested.
"Yes, more than two years ago, I gave Senior Chen a jade token. I thought he would come to Zhongzhou a year or two ago, but I never thought he would come until now."
"Perhaps he felt the changes in the world, so he came to Zhongzhou." The old man with a sage-like demeanor guessed.
After the changes in heaven and earth, the spiritual energy of the world revived, and the changes in Zhongzhou were the most drastic.
Anyone who has a little knowledge in the Xiantian realm will definitely not want to miss such an opportunity.
"Maybe, but I don't know if his disciple, Young Master Lu Qing, came with him." Lin Zhirui said.
"Is it the young man who defeated the martial arts master of Tiancang Sect with his body in the Muscle and Bone Realm?"
"That's right. That young man is extremely talented and has a great talent for martial arts. I wonder if he has entered the Xiantian realm in the past two years."
In Lin Zhirui's mind, he recalled Lu Qing's indifferent face.
That boy was one of the most mysterious people he had ever met.
He was also the only person he could not see through after he took control of the sect's rare treasures.
"Master, Senior Chen should be nearby. I have to go and greet him. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish this game of chess with you."
"Go. The situation in the city is tense now. It would be a blessing to have such a kind-hearted and powerful person here." said the old man with a sage look.
Lin Zhirui felt a little nervous when he thought about what had happened in the Holy City recently.
I felt it necessary to explain the situation in the city to the old doctor later, so that he would not be caught up in the turmoil without knowing the whole situation.
"Master, this should be it."
Lu Qing said as he looked at the towering tower in front of him and the seven-star logo on it that was exactly the same as the one on the Tianji Tower in Qinglong City.
"Well, I can feel that the vibration received by the jade token also comes from here." The old doctor nodded.
Magu asked, "How do we get in then? Do you need me to hand over the visiting card?"
"No need." Lu Qing's expression suddenly changed and he smiled, "An old friend came out to pick us up."
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in cloth clothes walked out of the tower.
Who else could it be but Lin Zhirui, whom I haven’t seen for more than two years?
“It is a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar.”
Lin Zhirui's temperament was gentler than two years ago, and he walked up with a smile on his face.
"Senior Chen, Young Friend Lu Qing, we haven't seen each other for more than two years. How are you?"
"Long time no see, Zhirui." The old doctor smiled.
"Thanks to Lord Zhirui, everything is fine." Lu Qing bowed and said.
"Meet Mr. Zhirui."
Ma Gu and Wei Zian also saluted.
Wei Zian, in particular, looked even more respectful.
He knew that if it weren't for Lord Zhirui stepping forward, their Wei family would probably have ceased to exist.
"Young Master Wei is here too?" Lin Zhirui was also a little surprised to see Wei Zian, "Is Senior Wei Shanhai okay?"
"The old ancestor is still in good health. He also told me to say hello to Lord Zhirui when I see him." Wei Zian said respectfully.
"Senior Wei Shanhai is too polite."
Lin Zhirui secretly looked at Lu Qing and the old doctor.
After not seeing each other for more than two years, Lu Qing has grown a lot taller and his face has become much more handsome, but the old doctor has not changed much and still looks like an old man.
But what surprised Lin Zhirui secretly was that he could not see through Lu Qing and the old doctor's level of cultivation.
Even if he secretly used the power of the rare treasure, he still gained nothing.
This was such a big shock that Lin Zhirui was a little bit unbelieving.
You know, he is now in the Innate Realm, and after this period of seclusion, he has reached the peak of the Innate Initial Realm. He is only one step away from the Innate Minor Success Realm.
Not to mention that in the past two years, after practicing day and night, he has completely refined and controlled the rare treasures bestowed by the sect.
But even so, he couldn't see through the cultivation level of Master Lu Qing and his disciple.
Is it that the cultivation of these two people has reached a level that he can hardly reach, or is it that they also have rare treasures that can completely block his calculations and investigations?
Lin Zhirui's heart was in turmoil.
But his face remained expressionless and he continued chatting with Lu Qing and the others.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, Lin Zhirui slapped his head and said, "Look at me, I'm too happy and even impolite. Please follow me in."
After saying that, he was about to lead Lu Qing and others into the tower.
"Sir Zhirui, what should we do with our carriage?" asked Magu.
"That's fine."
Lin Zhirui was about to make arrangements when suddenly he saw Lu Qing and his companions' carriage and was stunned for a moment.
"Senior Chen, your horse..."
"On the way here, a few nights ago, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in the sky, and countless moonlight fell down. These two beasts were lucky enough to get two of the moonlights, and they became like this."
Lu Qing said half-truthfully.
"Young friend Lu Qing, are you talking about the strange phenomenon in heaven and earth a few nights ago?" Lin Zhirui's eyes flashed.
"Yes, the two horses pulling our cart absorbed two rays of moonlight that night. For some reason, they became like this the next day. Fortunately, although their appearance changed, their temperament did not. On the contrary, they became much stronger, allowing us to travel much faster and saving a lot of time."
“Then these two horses have got a good opportunity.” Lin Zhirui praised, his expression regained its calmness, “Don’t worry, I will let the disciples in the sect make arrangements, and these two divine horses will not be treated unfairly.”
Following Lin Zhirui's instructions, disciples from Tianji Tower immediately wanted to come up and help lead the horses.
"Wait a minute, there are still injured people in our carriage." Lu Qing walked to the front of the carriage and knocked on the door, "Xiaoyan, help Sister Hu get off the carriage."
"Xiaoyan is here too?"
Lin Zhirui was even more surprised when he heard this.
However, when he saw Hu Zezhi getting off the carriage, his expression suddenly changed.
"My dear friend Lu Qing, this girl..."
"Sir Zhirui, have you figured it out?" Lu Qing said in a deep voice.
Lin Zhirui first stared at Hu Zezhi's brows, then looked at Lu Qing deeply.
However, he did not reveal it, but said with a serious expression: "Everyone, please follow me in first."
Lu Qing and others followed Lin Zhirui into the Tianji Tower, but they did not notice that more than a hundred meters behind them, a black-robed figure was hiding in a corner.
Those eyes with two pupils emitted a strange light.
"A person with great luck! A mysterious Yin body! And, what is that, the light of merit?
There are so many talented people in this small carriage!
Could it be that this is really God helping me?"
There was a look of fanaticism in the eyes of the black-robed figure.
If he could devour the people in front of him, his demonic body would transform to an incredible level.
By then, not only will the formation in this broken city be unable to suppress him, he will no longer be afraid of even those old monsters on the Holy Mountain!
"This matter must be considered carefully. As long as I devour these people, I can lay the first step of the foundation for my supreme magic base!"
The black-robed figure had madness in his eyes, but his heart was extremely calm.
Although he was full of disdain for this holy city.
But it must be admitted that he does not have the strength to do whatever he wants in this city now.
He might not be able to defeat those old guys in the Tianji Tower alone, let alone those old monsters on the Holy Mountain.
Therefore, everything can only be done in secret and step by step.
The black-robed figure took a deep look at the Tianji Tower, and then gradually disappeared.
…
Lu Qing and others followed Lin Zhirui into the tower, but they did not go up. Instead, after passing through the tower, they came to a large building at the back and finally stopped in a quiet courtyard.
"Senior Chen, this is my residence. It's a little simple, so please don't mind." Lin Zhirui said apologetically.
"If your place is still considered shabby, then mine can only be called a shabby house." The old doctor laughed.
"How can this be compared? The senior's residence, with that plum blossom tree alone, is better than countless luxurious houses." Lin Zhirui shook his head slightly.
"It turns out that Zhirui missed the plum blossom tea. It just so happens that I brought a lot with me this time. I can make some."
The old doctor took out a bag of plum blossom tea that he had prepared in advance.
"The one who knows me best is Senior Chen."
After entering the Xiantian realm, Lin Zhirui, who had condensed his Xiantian body, smelled the faint fragrance of plum blossom tea and was immediately delighted.
Go and prepare the tea set immediately.
After Lin Zhirui took out the tea set, the next step was the tea-making process that Lu Qing was very familiar with. He was very familiar with this job.
He took the initiative to take over the task, and skillfully boiled water and brewed tea.
Soon, a pot of perfect plum blossom tea was brewed.
Lin Zhirui picked up one of the cups of tea, took a sip, and savored it slowly, with an intoxicated look on his face.
After a long while, he sighed and said, "I have traveled all over the world in the past few years and have drunk countless famous teas, but the one that I like the most is still your plum blossom tea, Senior Chen."
"Sir Zhirui, didn't you say that when you break through the Innate Realm, you would also cultivate a plum blossom tea plant? Didn't you succeed?" Lu Qing asked curiously.
The plum blossom tea tree in the small courtyard halfway up the mountain was cultivated by the old doctor when he inadvertently attracted the vital energy of heaven and earth when he entered the innate realm.
When Lin Zhirui learned the origin of the plum blossom tea tree, he also expressed his desire to imitate it. When he entered the innate realm, he would also use the essence of heaven and earth to cultivate a plum blossom tea tree.
Seeing that he was now in the innate realm, Lu Qing asked this question.
Lin Zhirui was embarrassed when he heard this: "When I first broke through, I was traveling outside. I suddenly felt something and broke through unintentionally. I didn't have time to look for the plum tree at that time."
For the vast majority of warriors, the opportunity to break through the innate realm is something that can only be encountered by chance.
That flash of inspiration is fleeting, and once you grasp it, few people would be willing to give it up.
Lin Zhirui was no exception. When he sensed the opportunity for a breakthrough, he did not hesitate and broke through immediately.
I only remembered the plum tea tree afterwards, but it was too late.
"That's a pity." Lu Qing said regretfully.
He knew how much this person loved drinking tea.
"Everything is a matter of chance. There is nothing to regret." Lin Zhirui shook his head. "This only means that I don't have that chance."
"Zhirui is right." The old doctor nodded in approval.
He has always been calm and easy-going, and he highly approves of Lin Zhirui's state of mind.
"Thank you for your compliment, Senior Chen. By the way, why did you come to Zhongzhou only now? I thought you would have come here a year or two ago."
"I am ashamed to say this, mainly because I am too lazy. After being accustomed to the leisurely life in the countryside, I have never been able to muster the energy to go out, so it has been delayed until today." said the old doctor.
"Senior, you are joking. I think it is because of your personality that you have never taken the so-called opportunity to heart.
If I am not mistaken, the reason why you came to Zhongzhou this time is not entirely for the opportunity of the Holy Mountain, right?"
Although Lin Zhirui had not had contact with the old doctor for a long time, he knew very well that he was a kind-hearted and benevolent person.
The other party did not come to the Holy Mountain in the past two years, which means that he did not attach great importance to the opportunities of the Holy Mountain.
There must be other reasons for his sudden arrival.
Unfortunately, he had tried to figure it out before, but could not come up with anything.
"I'm not that pure-hearted." The old doctor said with a smile, "It's just that this time I came to Zhongzhou, in addition to the opportunity of the Holy Mountain, there are indeed some other things I want to figure out."
"Is it about this girl?" Lin Zhirui looked at Hu Zezhi.
This stunned the pretty girl who was listening with great interest, and she didn't understand why they suddenly mentioned her.
"This is just one of them, but it is also the most important thing at the moment. Zhirui, you should be able to see the problem with Miss Hu, right?" said the old doctor.
“There is an invisible black aura lingering between the brows of this girl, which is difficult to dissipate.
This is a sign of great danger, indicating that in the near future, this girl will encounter something more terrible than death. "
Lin Zhirui's expression turned serious and he spoke slowly.
"Yes, Ah Qing and I have also vaguely sensed the calamity that has befallen Miss Hu, but we cannot figure out where this calamity has come from. I wonder if Zhirui has any way to deduce it?"
The old doctor knew that the Tianji Tower lineage was best at divination.
If it was Lin Zhirui, perhaps he could figure out a clue.
However, what the old doctor didn't expect was that Lin Zhirui simply shook his head.
“I can’t figure it out. To be honest, Senior, when I first saw this girl, I had already figured it out secretly.
The result is that the mystery is completely obscure and cannot be calculated at all."
"You can't even figure out Zhirui, that's troublesome." The old doctor frowned.
"Senior Chen, Mr. Zhirui, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
At this time, Hu Zezhi finally couldn't help but ask.
