A life of clearness

Chapter 75 Lin Tian
"Tomorrow, I will bring three mortals with me. One of them you should know."

I should know him? Although Yun Nong was young, she was quite smart. After thinking carefully, she figured out the key.

"Is it Gong Xiaolang's family?"

Yun Nong couldn't think of many other possibilities. After all, she wasn't very familiar with Rong Qing, and the only person who could have been brought to Cangliuzhou by Rong Qing from afar, and Yun Nong knew about it, was the family of three.

"It's Xiuniang and her daughter, and there's another one... the biological son of Yuntong, the former abbot of Baishi Temple, whose surname is Dugu. His mother's family has some connection with the royal family. You'll know the details after you meet him and talk to him." Rong Qing said softly.

She withdrew her gaze from the reflection and looked down at Yun Nong, "There is one more thing I want to ask of you."

"Please speak, sir." Yun Nong's face became serious, "Yun Nong will definitely do his best."

She did not address Rong Qing as the master, but continued to address her as Mr., and her intentions were obvious. This address alone made her seem closer to Rong Qing than the other three people in Baishi Temple. Moreover, this address would always remind Rong Qing that when the master was alive, he doted on Yun Nong. With this affection, Yun Nong would get a lot of invisible benefits.

"All three of them are mortals, and because of some mistakes, their bodies have become extremely weak. You still have to practice on weekdays, so you don't have to watch over them all the time. Just help me take care of them when you have free time."

"It's not difficult, sir, just leave it to me." Yun Nong winked playfully when she heard that. "Besides, Yun Nong is still waiting for you to come back in three years as a Yuanying Zhenjun, to enhance the reputation of our Baishi Temple!"

Wow, she's really sweet. Rong Qing finally saw another side of this little princess.

"Then I'll lend you my good words." She took out three middle-grade spirit stones from her storage bag. "As the new temple master, I don't have any gifts to give you. After thinking about it, spirit stones are the most cost-effective."

Yun Nong looked at Rong Qing's face with a gentle smile. The fear in her heart had not disappeared, but she became much bolder and acted coquettishly towards her, "Sir, you are still the same as before. There is nothing new in giving gifts."

"Then I can take it back." Rong Qing pretended to put it back into the storage bag.

Yun Nong immediately stuck out her tongue and took the spirit stone from Rong Qing's hand. "No, if I give it to Yun Nong, it belongs to Yun Nong."

Rong Qing laughed uncontrollably and touched Yun Nong's hair, "Go, call your Senior Brother Lin Tian over."

"Yes." Yun Nong performed a very standard noble lady's bow to her.

As Yun Nong turned and left, Rong Qing's expression turned cold.

To be honest, Rong Qing was not disgusted by Yun Nong's behavior, but she was worried. Even if she could play the emotional card and "bribe" Yun Nong with her spiritual consciousness, she still felt uneasy. If an accident happened, Yun Nong would abandon Zhong Xiu and the others at any time. What Rong Qing could do now was to minimize the possibility of such an accident.

"It would be great if I could turn Ah Xiu into Thumbelina and carry her in my pocket all the time." Rong Qing sighed helplessly in her heart.

It was not until Lin Tian slowly approached that a gentle smile appeared on her face again.

"Disciple Lin Tian, ​​greetings to the abbot."

Rong Qing took a quick look at Lin Tian and had a general idea of ​​his situation.

He entered the sect at the same year as Shanxing, and until now he still wears ordinary mortal robes and does not have any magical weapons on him. If it were not for the storage bag on his waist that shows his identity as a monk, I am afraid everyone would think he is just a worldly scholar.

"No need to be so polite." Rong Qing waved her hand. "I came here to ask you for help with something personal."

Lin Tian was puzzled at first when he heard this, and then he said, "Master, can you tell me the details of this matter?" He did not say whether he would agree or not.

Compared with Feng Cong and others who made solemn promises right from the start, Rong Qing was quite fond of Lin Tian's serious attitude.

She told Lin Tian in detail about taking care of Zhong Xiu and others, and seeing Lin Tian frowning and thinking, she waited patiently for him to ask questions.

"Although it is the abbot's private matter, as a disciple, I will not disobey the abbot's order." Lin Tian said respectfully, "But there are still some problems. First, mortals are different from cultivators. They still eat grains. Regarding their diet, this problem needs to be solved. Second, my disciples are dull and have been practicing for many years but are still lingering at the second level of Qi training without making any progress. The valley is peaceful and there is no danger. If they go outside the valley or encounter unexpected dangers, my disciples' cultivation will not be able to protect them." "You can think of these..." Rong Qing looked at him deeply, "It means you really listened to my request."

She chuckled, "Please don't worry about these worries. I won't give you any benefits."

"The first problem is easy to solve. I will go to the market to find some fresh ingredients and seeds, and then find a place in the valley to open up a vegetable field. As for the second problem, I can solve it for you now."

As Lin Tian was surprised, Rong Qing led him towards the lake. The two entered the lake together, and with Rong Qing's spiritual power, even with Lin Tian's cultivation level, he could still move freely in the lake.

Lin Tian looked at the faint golden light around him curiously. It was this thin layer of light that prevented the lake water from staining his clothes. As the two of them sank very quickly, the darkness in their vision became deeper and deeper.

When it came again, Rong Qing clearly sensed the formation this time, and at the same time, she quickly made hand gestures to make the silent formation work again!

Although Yun Tong died, the Baishi Temple he left behind brought Rong Qing a lot of information. Yun Tong was cautious, so many important things would not be stored in Banri Tower. With Baishi Temple, it would be easy for him to carry some important things with him. For example, the method to open this formation.

To be precise, it is the use of this formation!

Yun Tong was not familiar with the forbidden method, and the method of using this formation was too difficult for him. Therefore, he only learned how to open and close it. He had not studied the rest in depth, so he simply left it in Baishi Temple and would solve it after he had made some progress in studying the forbidden method.

Now it's Rong Qing's turn to be lucky.

Lin Tian landed on the ground with both feet, and before he could react, he subconsciously took a deep breath. This deep breath was a breath of extremely rich spiritual energy.

"This is it!" He was shocked. He never thought that there would be such a quiet room with abundant spiritual energy at the bottom of the lake in his own sect.

"Look up." Rong Qing reminded.

The unique luster of the spiritual stone vein running through the top of the head can easily arouse people's greed.

However, in Lin Tian's eyes, this greed was only a moment. "I can't imagine the level of this vein. Only the residents of the main city and high-level cultivators can enjoy this quality of spiritual vein. Could it be that it leads to the main city? Or..." Lin Tian thought of a very scary possibility, "Did they secretly move part of the main city's spiritual vein here?"

As we all know, Cangliuzhou is right under the Inspector's nose. How is this possible? !
"Don't think too much." Rong Qing sighed, "I don't know the actual situation. Anyway, I brought you here, so you should seize the opportunity and improve your cultivation to the best extent possible."

Lin Tian's predicament was clear at a glance. Because of his poor natural aptitude, the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy and converting it into his own spiritual power was extremely low. In this case, there would be no good resources for him. The less spiritual energy he cultivated, the slower his cultivation progressed. Such a negative cycle was almost an unsolvable knot.

What Rong Qing is giving him now is a chance to absorb spiritual energy to his heart's content. This spiritual vein is of excellent quality, and every spiritual stone in it is a top-grade spiritual stone. Now, under the effect of the formation, it continues to release spiritual energy, creating an excellent training environment in the quiet room.

Lin Tian suppressed his burning desire and sat cross-legged on the mat. Almost immediately, he entered a meditative state. He was excited, but his strong rationality turned it into a cold determination, "This time, it's a chance. But it can't be just this once. I want to turn it into an opportunity so that I can get the next, many chances from the master!" He slowly closed his eyes, and under the operation of his skills, the spiritual energy entered his meridians, slowly but firmly.

In Rong Qing's heart, her evaluation of Lin Tian was even higher. "I didn't expect that a small sect like Baishi Temple would produce such a good seedling."

Lin Tian's aptitude can be said to be very poor. But no matter how poor it is, he is still a cultivator. Rong Qing has tried every possible way to prolong Zhong Xiu's life, but because Zhong Xiu has no spiritual roots and cannot practice, he can't do anything. Lin Tian is the least valued in Baishi Temple, but his character is very well tempered. So when entering into meditation, he seems very stable. From the details, we can see that Lin Tian has made a lot of efforts in the basic skills of a cultivator.

This is extremely rare. If someone else were in his position, they would probably give up on themselves. They would not be willing to work hard to improve themselves and wait for an illusory opportunity.

The basic skills of a cultivator are very important, including character, meditation, hand gestures, control of instruments, reading the Daoist Canon, etc. This is the foundation for all future development. If the foundation is not solid, even if there is an opportunity, it will not be grasped or digested. Even when Rong Qing had no shortage of resources, the two sword masters personally polished her basic skills before allowing her to go down the mountain for the first time. Even if she is not a life-threatening cultivator, she is at least a qualified cultivator.

The original Baishi Temple only saw the flaws of Lin Tian, ​​but ignored his extraordinary qualities. From Rong Qing's perspective, as the temple master, she could completely help Lin Tian bypass this flaw and bring out his strengths. Since Lin Tian was just inefficient in refining spiritual energy, she would provide him with superior spiritual energy to speed up his progress, and then open up all the collections in Baishi Temple to him. When he is building his foundation, she would let him go out to train, allowing him to gradually hone his cultivation. If he survives, even if he cannot become a golden elixir cultivator, he can still give back to the sect.

“Resources are mortal, but people are alive. Even if everyone in Baishi Temple came in to use this quiet room to practice, it would be nothing compared to this spiritual vein. Besides, it is not considered as your asset.” Rong Qing silently criticized the dead Yun Tong, “I always feel reluctant to give it up, and always want to save it for the future. But in the end, you are the first one to lose your future.”
