Chapter 281 "Don't pick up apprentices on the roadside"

The thunderstorm in the far north had just subsided, but a thunderstorm on a peak of the Supreme Sect was brewing.

Ni Jinxuan stopped practicing and looked at the calamity cloud on Liangyi Peak. "Master is finally coming out of seclusion. Uncle Cangli is so busy that he can't even drink tea and is only working on iron."

Yuan Ye had a pale face and floated away like a wandering soul, and was grabbed by Ni Jinxuan by the back of the collar.

"Hey, it was your turn to wash the dishes today, but you didn't show up. Now you take the food I left for you and want to leave?"

Yuan Ye was holding two large basins, his eyes were dull, and his body was covered in smoke and fire. "Recently, evil spirits have infiltrated Zhongzhou. Every household wants the mirror developed by Master, but because it requires a top-grade craftsman to forge the core, Master's boiler is almost burned out, and Yan Qing is still watching the fire."

"I just took some time out to bring some food. It's been 27 days. The nine pots have been burning non-stop. In previous years, there were no flowers blooming on our mountain at this time of year, but this year, because the fire is strong, all the flowers are blooming."

Ni Jinxuan let go, "Oh okay, go ahead."

Yuan Ye stopped and asked, "I seem to remember that Junior Uncle Master left a secret letter for your master before he left?"

Ni Jinxuan nodded, "Yes, but didn't my master just come out of retreat to overcome the tribulation?"

"It's been almost seven years, right?" Yuan Ye's face showed a deep sorrow. "If Junior Master had come back, I wouldn't be so busy."

"Six years and three months. Hurry up and go eat. You're almost dizzy from walking." Ni Jinxuan let the man go.

Yuan Ye murmured, "Sooner or later, I will lie in the coffin I built."

"Why didn't Junior Master leave a letter for you before he left, but only for Master?"

"Who knows? Junior Master Uncle didn't even leave me a letter." Ni Jinxuan's face showed a little loneliness.

Yuan Ye turned around and glanced at her depressed face. "Why don't you go find your elder brother and ask your junior uncle what he wrote? Maybe he asked his uncle to take good care of you."

Ni Jinxuan became even more frustrated after hearing this. "Big Brother himself refused to look, let alone show it to me. No wonder Second Sister said he was a fool! I think he was made of iron and I can't even bite him."

Yuan Ye chuckled when he heard this, "Anyway, you can just go ask your uncle later."

Ni Jinxuan thought about it and said, "That's right!"

The heavenly tribulation that progresses from the fourth stage to the fifth stage is the fifty-nine heavenly tribulation, and the thunder tribulation lasts for a long time.

It lasted so long that Mo Lin stopped practicing swordplay, and Hou Cang returned from the border covered in wounds. Mu Chen finished calculating today's accounts, and the thunder in the sky finally stopped striking.

With a clear sound, spiritual rain fell. Ju Yuan felt the surging power in his body. Just as he was about to sigh that it was finally done, he met the burning gazes of his two disciples.

Ju Yuan stopped stretching his hands stiffly and coughed softly, "What's the matter?"

"Congratulations, Master, for successfully advancing to the Qianyuan Realm. The headmaster told you to go to the main peak to find her immediately after the advancement. Also, Junior Master left you a secret letter before he went into seclusion."

After Mo Lin finished his ceremony, he presented an extremely simple note, which looked a little yellowed due to the passage of many years.

Ju Yuan looked at the small note in silence, "Secret letter?"

Ni Jinxuan also fell into deep thought. Is this... a secret letter? How many words can be written on it?

"Yes." Mo Lin nodded, "Yes, secret letter!"

Ju Yuan took the note and opened it carefully, and at the same time thought about whether it needed to be activated with spiritual power and whether there was any hidden mystery.

But no.

There was a line of large, scrawled characters written on it: "Dragons Flying and Phoenixes Dancing".

Ju Yuan glanced at it, closed the note, opened it again and took a look, then closed it again. This message from the junior sister was really weird.

Ni Jinxuan approached cautiously, "What is it?"

Ju Yuan threw the note to her and said, "Read it yourself. I'm going to find your head master."

Ni Jinxuan opened the note and looked at it carefully.

"Don't pick up things on the roadside, even your apprentices. Nothing good will be thrown on the roadside."

Ni Jinxuan: …

Mo Lin glanced at Ni Jinxuan's strange expression and asked, "What's wrong? What did Junior Master say?"

Ni Jinxuan threw the note to him with a complicated expression.

Mo Lin took it, his face also somewhat distorted.

"Why did you only leave a letter for Master?"

"Maybe because...other uncles wouldn't pick up children on the street." Mo Lin pondered for a while, "Yeah."

Ni Jinxuan nodded, "Senior Brother is right."

The next moment, an attack from the Qianyuan Realm was thrown at Mo Lin's feet, forcing him to raise his sword for defense, but he was still forced to the edge of the cliff before he could stop.

Mo Lin calmly put away his sword and said, "See, I was right."

He got angry out of shame.

Ni Jinxuan nodded in agreement, and soon she heard the sound of a bell.

That was the bell that summoned all the disciples who had no important missions.

Mo Lin and Ni Jinxuan looked at each other and rushed towards the main hall.

Ju Yuan was full of energy, his voice was like a bell, "Your fourth uncle said that he has discovered a place that the evil demons want to occupy next, so we should hurry there and make preparations in advance. I heard that the strength of the evil demons has greatly increased in recent years? Come on, let the master take you to practice."

Yuan Ye and Yan Qing didn't come, Xia Tianwu took out the newly refined pills and distributed them to a few people, "Put them all away. My master has received many monks who were injured by evil spirits and were about to die. These pills are for clearing evil spirits and replenishing spiritual power to stop bleeding and heal injuries. Don't save them. Eat them quickly if you feel something is wrong."

The situation was urgent and everyone left in a hurry.

As soon as Ju Yuan and his group left the sect, Lin Du followed them back to the Wushang Sect.

In the main hall, Feng Chao looked at the official report with a frown on his face, "This is not a good sign."

Hou Cang sat aside, with a strong smell of wound medicine on his body. "Even if the evil demons came together in the past, they would not have such a large scale. It is not so much that they surrender to the strong, but rather that they can only be suppressed temporarily when they are weak. Once an evil demon falls, it will be eaten by the former servants. Now they are invading the territory so deliberately, which makes me feel..."

"Evil demons are cunning, reckless, bloodthirsty and cruel by nature, but their actions are always driven by desire. They only think about eating humans and demons, so they won't do things in such a planned way. The Demon Lord is now thinking about occupying the territory, so there must be someone behind the scenes pushing him."

Lin Du's voice came from outside the door. The voice was a little hoarse and tense because he hadn't spoken for a long time and had been through the hardships of the journey.

Feng Chao's eyes suddenly lit up with a smile, "Junior sister? You're back?"

Then he looked up in surprise and saw that the aura was clearly... the aura of Huiyang Realm.

A tall figure appeared in the sight of the two people. It was still the same as before, wearing a green robe and a neatly tied Taoist bun, looking lonely and elegant.

A glimmer of surprise flashed across Feng Chao's eyes, "That's good, you've also reached the Huiyang realm."

Lin Du met those blazing eyes of Feng Chao, and suddenly felt that in Feng Chao's eyes he was not a human being, but an ox that could plow a hundred acres of land in a day.

Even before entering the house, people began to despair.

"Come here," Feng Chao waved, "How have you been in seclusion these past few years? Have you encountered any danger? Are you injured? How is your health? We are not in a rush, take your time, don't make it too hard."

Lin Du shook his head and laughed, "It's not hard. I have the talent here, so there is no way I can't advance. I can't suppress it. Brother, you understand, right?"

Hou Cang put on a face that was even colder than Lin Du's, "I don't understand. I think that to achieve great things early, one must go through endless suffering, but congratulations, little junior sister."

"Okay, go see your master, say hello to him, and then come back to see me."

Lin Du sighed and walked out quickly. Han Yueling poked her head out from her sleeve with great effort and shouted, "What are we eating today? You said you would take me out to eat after meeting the elders... Hmm"

"I'm going to see my master now. If you don't want him to skin you alive and throw you into the river to wash you clean, then shut up and stay in your Hanyue Secret Realm."

"..." Rabbit's scalp was squeezed tight by the narrow sleeves. "I say, you are actually afraid of your master, right?"

"How is that possible? What a joke!" Lin Du stuffed the rabbit in. "Shut up."
