Gou Refining Essence into Qi in the Dharma-ending Age

Chapter 54 The Water Mansion Opens

After the sect leader left, Lin Yuan sat by the window near Luoyue Lake for a long time.

This conversation, though brief, had a significant impact on him.

Do you understand what you want?

After thinking for a long time, he shook his head and stopped worrying about it.

Now that things have come to this, let's take a look at the tea that the sect leader sent!

Lin Yuan opened the paper packet containing the tea and found that it was indeed not ordinary tea.

"Ming Ling Tea!"

This tea itself contains considerable spiritual energy, which can help cultivators below the seventh level of the embryonic breathing stage. In addition, it can help cultivators clarify their minds and accelerate the cultivation of supernatural powers. It is also a rare treasure for cultivators above the seventh level of the embryonic breathing stage and even those who cultivate Qi gathering.

Most importantly, it is said that this tea is very delicious.

Not to mention the embryonic breathing realm, even those at the Qi gathering and Dao foundation realms would collect some.

Clearly, the sect leader collected this tea and presented it to him as a gift.

"What a precious gift!"

Even if this Mingling Tea has no special effects, its value is great enough just because it can attract Qi gathering and Dao foundation cultivation.

It is said that sect contribution points can be used to exchange for them, but only a limited number are released each time, so if you don't wait around, you won't be able to get any.

As a result, Lin Yuan now has a large bag in his hand, weighing at least one pound.

Tea is not like other things; a pound of tea is enough to drink for a long time.

He immediately brewed some tea and tasted it.

The air was filled with a misty, fragrant aroma.

"This is truly excellent tea!" Lin Yuan, who wasn't particularly knowledgeable about tea, could still sense that this tea was far superior to ordinary tea.

And after taking the first sip, he could feel a sense of peace.

The turmoil in my heart caused by the sect leader's words earlier subsided considerably.

Soon after, Lin Chao arrived.

According to Lin Chao, the sect leader also went to talk to him, but it was mostly to encourage him. Although he left a gift, it was far inferior to the Mingling Tea.

Is it because you're afraid that the previous conversation will have too much of an impact on me?

Lin Yuan pondered.

Lin Chao was naturally unaware of this matter. He came not mainly because of the sect leader, but for other reasons: "Brother, many people from our sect have come this time. I asked an elder, and it is said that there are indeed disciples from other sects hiding in Luoyue City."

"The Beast Taming Sect, like our Sword Sect, is one of the four major powers in the Xuanling Domain. Their sect is skilled in controlling spirit beasts to fight. If you encounter a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect, you never know how many enemies you will face."

Even the Sword Sect's sect leader has arrived. Although the Beast Taming Sect was well hidden, it was powerless under such circumstances and was easily discovered.

"It seems that the Beast Taming Sect must have known about this beforehand," Lin Yuan concluded.

Lin Chao nodded: "Most likely. I learned about this from a disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. I originally thought that not many people knew this secret, but now it seems that's not the case."

"They sent a cultivator at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage and many cultivators at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage. Fortunately, they called the sect, otherwise, it would have been troublesome."

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Weren't you already able to kill demonic beasts at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage?"

Lin Chao immediately said, "Brother, the rumors circulating outside are exaggerated; there are actually many reasons."

Lin Yuan simply took it as modesty.

To be able to kill someone at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, one must possess considerable skill.

Lin Chao smiled and continued, "According to that elder, if the Water Mansion is born, people from the four major forces of the Xuanling Domain will come, just like the last time the Great Repair Cave Mansion was built."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's gaze sharpened.

The four major powers of the Xuanling Domain are the Sword Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, the Yin Soul Sect, and... the Lin Family.

Lin Chao knew some things about Lin Yuan, and he said, "Brother, I can help you."

"I can do it myself," Lin Yuan shook his head.

"Alright, brother, don't be reckless. Last time, during the major repair of the cave, many members of the Lin family were accompanied by guards at the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, as if they were being controlled by some kind of power," Lin Chao said. "Even if the Lin family comes this time, they will probably bring guards as well. If it were outside, it would definitely be even more terrifying."

"So extravagant?" Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised when he heard this.

Is the Lin family treating their heir like an infant?

"It is said that there are now less than 200 people left on the Lin family's immortal mountain, so it is naturally extravagant." Lin Chao shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"I understand!" Lin Yuan said, indicating that he would be careful.

If he wasn't confident, he naturally wouldn't go to his death.

Time passed little by little.

Soon the night of the full moon arrived.

The members of the Beast Taming Sect arrived at the shore of Falling Moon Lake.

The elder stood at the forefront, his eyes burning: "The water palace left behind by the True Dragon's lineage most likely contains demonic beasts with the bloodline of the True Dragon. If we can capture and control them, and wait for them to grow up, no one in the Xuanling Domain will be a match for our Beast Taming Sect."

True dragons are one of the most terrifying races in the world.

It is said that they possess two great supernatural powers, "Turning Rivers and Seas" and "Summoning Wind and Rain," and even a tiny bit of their bloodline is extremely rare.

Moreover, the opportunities left behind by the true dragon's lineage are destined to be extraordinary.

Many disciples were filled with excitement.

During this time, they heard too many stories of young cultivators having extraordinary encounters and becoming renowned geniuses in the Xuanling Domain.

They want that too.

The elder of the Beast Taming Sect noticed this and said coldly, "You all need to put your minds at ease. The most important task this time is to find the demon beast containing the bloodline of a true dragon. Everything else can wait."

"If you harbor any ill intentions after entering the Water Palace, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Instantly, the disciples present fell silent, suppressing their thoughts and daring not to utter a single word.

However, what the Beast Taming Sect elders were unaware of was that all their actions were being observed.

Upon seeing this, the sect leader of the Sword Sect shook his head.

This is treating the disciples within the sect as slaves.

He looked at the people standing behind him.

He looked at Lin Yuan, Lin Chao, Wang Qiudao, Sun Minglong, and more than ten other Sword Sect disciples standing behind him and said, "When the Water Mansion opens, there will be no restrictions, and the sect elders will enter with you; if there are restrictions, you will enter on your own."

"If you encounter the latter situation, you must be careful. The Water Palace is a remnant of the true dragon's lineage, and there are probably many dangers within it."

"Yes, Sect Master!" all the prodigies responded.

Tianyun sighed in Lin Chao's mind, "I hope this water mansion, like the last one where you repaired the cave, has cultivation restrictions. Otherwise, if your sect members enter, you probably won't get anything good. That's why I didn't want you to inform the sect in the first place..."

Wang Qiudao also looked at Luoyue Lake. Based on the memories he had obtained, he knew very well that although the Water Mansion said there were no restrictions, if a cultivator who was too powerful entered, he would be attacked by the Water Mansion's beings, which would be more dangerous than for cultivators like them who were at the Nascent Soul stage.

However, he had no intention of giving a warning.

In his view, the so-called elders of the sect were merely temporary figures, and this shallow pool could not hold him back.

It doesn't matter if some die.

Sun Minglong's gaze was fixed on Lin Chao.

If he remembered correctly, Lin Chao got a good opportunity here.

This time, he needs to find a way to steal the prize.

Lin Yuan was only thinking about saving his own life.

Amidst a jumble of thoughts, the full moon rose high in the sky, its soft light shining down, shimmering on the lake and seemingly turning it white.

Soon after, the bright moon shone on the very center of Luoyue Lake, as if opening a gateway.
