Chapter 51 Are you really here to perform?

The top-grade five-colored stone flower that Ni Jinxuan brought back was quickly taken by Jiang Liang to be personally refined into the Jiangyuan Shenggu Pill.

But Lin Du couldn't eat it while it was hot, she had to recover from the loss caused by the reverse flow of spiritual energy.

Feng Chao was very moved when he saw the secret map she completed on the road.

"So this is my surprise?"

Lin Du looked at the inner treasury token in his hand in silence.

In a sense, the key to the plot is still in her hands.

"Yes." Feng Chao touched her head, "When I'm not around, you can open the inner storehouse by yourself."

Lin Du pondered for a moment, "Although, Senior Sister, it would be fine if you just gave me the token, why did you also give me the account book?"

Feng Chao smiled and took his hand back, not feeling guilty about passing the buck to a child. "In the future, if someone wants to take something from the inner storehouse, they can come to you. You just need to register. It's very simple."

"I'm still a child." Lin Du wanted to throw away the account book, which was so hot, "I don't know how to keep accounts."

"Are you trying to trick me? The stack of books I gave you seems to include the Ten Mathematical Books, right? I, your senior sister, specially recorded my consciousness..."

Lin Du looked at the senior sister in front of him, and suddenly he thought of his beautiful teacher in elementary school. Although she was beautiful, she was actually oppressive.

“How could that be? Hahaha.” Lin Du faked a few times, “Of course I learned it. How could I start learning formations without the guidance of my senior sister? I just…”

"Oh, yes. You must be good at array formation, arithmetic and regular arrangement. It must be easy for you to keep the internal treasury account book, right?"

Feng Chaoyan had a very friendly smile on her noble face, and Lin Du silently took the account book.

Stop laughing, she's scared.

The pressure from her evil master wasn't this strong.

Lin Du silently accepted his new role as the internal warehouse manager, after all, this warehouse was not often opened.

"Good boy, take good care of yourself and come with me to a meeting tomorrow."

Feng Chao smiled even more tenderly, "How much of the residual power brought out from the Lanju Realm is left?"

Lin Du probed and said, "Not so good. The remnant can only be attached to the Soul-Nourishing Tree. It is too fragmented and cannot even be called a soul. It cannot be nurtured..."

"Then let the sound cultivator who can help the soul go with him, at least to allow Cannian to hold on until he can finish his speech."

Lin Du nodded. One of the important abilities of sound cultivation is to give people a boost, strengthen their current will, and allow them to unleash their final potential.

Feng Chao arranged many tasks in a row, and then heaved a long sigh, with a look of fatigue on his face. "If there is nothing else, go and rest first."

Lin Du really has a problem.

"Sister, if a cultivator is not recognized by the Heavenly Dao of this world, will he not be able to appear on the Chongxiao Ranking?"

"This is natural. It is the Heaven's ranking. If you are not born from the Heaven's ranking in this world, you will not be ranked."

Lin Du asked again, "Although it is said to be a heavenly ranking, I have checked the history books and found that these two pillars had never been ranked before. There is no record of when the two lists appeared, but it is clearly recorded that six thousand years ago, someone challenged the people on the list for the first time and made it onto the list."

"Yes." Feng Chao didn't understand why Lin Du was suddenly so interested in these two lists.

"From then on, the people on the list were frequently challenged, and many of them fell and were abandoned. There were also people who studied the characteristics of the martial arts routines of the people on the list." Lin Du paused, "I always feel that being on these two lists is not a good thing."

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. This is a truth that everyone understands.

If the Heavenly Dao really recognized and favored us, why would there be a Heavenly Dao competition platform next to the two rankings?

Among the 100th generation of disciples of the Supreme Sect alone, three had already failed halfway.

Feng Chao's eyes flickered slightly, and it was unknown what she was thinking of. Her gaze was somewhat distant and sad. After a long while, she softly said, "As long as you are strong enough, even if you stand out in the forest, the wind cannot break you."

Lin Du lowered his eyes and said softly, "Besides the wind, there are also ants that are not easy to attract attention."

Even a towering tree can hide ant holes.

Feng Chao didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

"I say, those two lists of the Heavenly Dao are like targets, just like telling people directly that they are the best and if you beat them, you will be the best. But what good is there in being on the list, other than getting beaten?"

As soon as Lin Du finished speaking, he saw the woman's eyes were clear and bright, as sharp as a blade out of its sheath.

"You didn't read the Heart Sutra I gave you, did you?"

Lin Du felt guilty, which was rare for him. "I only focused on the arithmetic array. The mental method didn't add much to me."

The main thing is that the text is clearly written in classical Chinese. She can recite it, but it is difficult for her to understand it.

It really makes things difficult for her as a science student.

"There is a saying in the Dharma: You can win without fighting."1

Feng Chao's voice was clear and steady. In the twilight, the robe on his body reflected a graceful golden light that fell into Lin Du's eyes.

"You don't have to fight, but you have to win. This is the purpose of us disciples of the Supreme Sect."

Lin Du was stunned for a moment, then stood up and bowed silently, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister."

I understand. You don’t have to compete for first place, but you must have the ability to win.

The next morning, Lin Du, who was ordered not to use her spiritual power and could only sleep, got off the hard ice bed, and began to straighten her clothes with drooping eyelids instinctively. After she got on the boat and met Yuan Ye, who was also sleepy, she did not react at all.

"Why is it you, kid?"

Yuan Ye spread his hands, "Master said that my kung fu is enough to make a remnant stand up."

Lin Du responded, and dozed off with his head down beside him, until Feng Chao came over and woke them up.

The leaders of the three sects, six schools and ten schools have arrived.

Lin Du wasn't fully awake yet. People never get enough sleep in winter, especially now that she couldn't use her spiritual power.

"That's probably what happened. I wonder what the leaders think."

Feng Chao's words were concise but he explained the events in the secret realm clearly.

"This... If the willow branch were to transform into a human, it would be difficult for it to survive without blood, flesh and energy after leaving the branch."

"If there really is an evil way of eating human essence, it is impossible that no one in Zhongzhou has discovered it for 600 years."

"If we conduct a sudden investigation, it will also cause panic among the disciples, right?"

King Sejong of Jeju suddenly spoke up, "But the bones are a fact. All of us elders who were in the water mirror that day could see it. If we go back and ask the disciples who went in this time, they will definitely know that there are indeed bones buried above and below."

"I don't mean to say that. I still think that this is a bit of an exaggeration. There has been no abnormality in these years. Why is it necessary to make such a big fuss and even conduct a soul test?"

“There is no hard evidence.”

"Oh, that's true." Feng Chao said calmly. Noticing that there was no movement behind him, he called out, "Lin Du, Yuan Ye."

The sleepy duo, who had been standing at the back with little sense of presence, all hung their heads, but suddenly they looked up in surprise.

Yuan Ye subconsciously lifted his sleeves to wipe his saliva, then took out a Xiqin, "I'm ready, Junior Master."

Lin Du took out the Soul-Nourishing Wood from his arms. The remnant spirit inside was extremely weak. "There is evidence. This is the remnant spirit of the Lord of Lance City in the Lan Gu Realm. I brought it out of the Lan Gu Realm."

Many sect leaders had heard of Lin Du. It was said that she even carried the beams and pillars of the ancient city and the iron lion at the gate back home. Unexpectedly, she even took away the remaining remains of the old man. She really was a taker!

Yuan Ye said, "Everyone, wait a moment, I'll let it pass, otherwise this cruel thought won't have the energy to speak."

Several leaders choked in unison, are you from the Supreme Sect really here to put on a show?
