Wonderland

Chapter 176 Rejection
Qingdan Peak is the tallest among the nine peaks of Dancao Mountain. Although the Cuixia Palace is only halfway up the mountain, the winding path circles down, and I don't know how far it is. Anyway, in Xiao Lin's view, it may not be much lower. ten miles.

After flying for another hour, Xiao Lin came to a square. The ground of the square turned out to be paved with a huge natural stone with an area of ​​a hundred feet. This made Xiao Lin secretly startled. If this huge stone was not natural Yes, how great is the supernatural power to move it here.

And at the end of the square, there is a stone step extending upwards, which is tens of feet high, leading to the Cuixia Hall above, and at this time, Xiao Lin also saw more than a dozen monks wearing the costumes of outer disciples I'm climbing up the stairs.

Xiao Lin could tell at a glance that several of them were monks who entered the sect with him, and that Fang Daoping was among them.

Xiao Lin also walked up the steps honestly, walking up step by step.

Soon, Xiao Lin came to the gate of the Cuixia Palace, and at the gate of the Cuixia Palace, there were two outer disciples of the Qi refining period standing on the left and right. Seeing Xiao Lin coming, one of them bowed his hands to Xiao Lin With a salute, he said, "What's the name of this junior brother? Did you come to receive the reward for the Catacombs Trial?"

Xiao Lin clasped his fists in return, nodded and said, "Exactly."

Hearing this, the faces of the two men showed envy, and the man even said: "Then I wish the younger brother a great success in building the foundation in advance, and he will jump out of the mundane world and enjoy the great way." After speaking, he pointed to the Piandian made a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you."

Xiao Lin entered the side hall, but the whole side hall was empty, and the few outer disciples who had entered to receive the rewards for the crypt trial were gone. I don't understand the color.

At this time, Xiao Lin saw an old man about 50 years old coming out of a stone room on the side hall. The old man had a goatee, square eyes, and gray hair, but it was tied neatly behind his head.

Seeing the old man, Xiao Lin's face immediately became solemn.

"Disciple Xiao Lin, pay respects to senior." Although Xiao Lin called Tao Ling Master Tao, it was because he was an alchemy boy who was going to apply for Master Tao, and he was considered a half-registered disciple, so he was called Master Uncle. But for the rest of the foundation-building monks, since he never worshiped a certain foundation-building monk as his teacher, he was mostly called senior.

Although the old man in front of him looks inconspicuous, and he is almost sixty years old, Xiao Lin doesn't think so. The amazing spiritual pressure emanating from his body makes him understand that the old man in front of him is a genuine foundation-building stage cultivator.

Facing the cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage, Xiao Lin did not dare to have the slightest confidence. With Xiao Lin's current combat power, he would not be afraid even in the face of several Dzogchen Practitioners of the Qi Refining Stage, but facing the cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage, But he didn't have the slightest grasp. Once he made a move, the probability of him being instantly killed was not small.

"It turned out to be nephew Xiao Xian, please follow me to the stone room to talk." The old man looked at Xiao Lin, with a smile on his old face, and said softly.

Seeing the smile on the old man's face, Xiao Lin immediately showed a flattered expression, and quickly nodded in agreement, but his heart was sinking. He didn't know the old man in front of him. The elders of the outer sect who were rewarded for the cave trials.

But the smile on the old man's face made Xiao Lin feel uneasy. The so-called being courteous for nothing is either rape or robbery. The old man in front of him has no friendship with him. It has to be so enthusiastic.

Seeing the old man turn around and enter the stone room, the flattered expression on Xiao Lin's face suddenly subsided, and his face also became gloomy.

However, he hesitated for a moment, and followed the old man into the stone room.

"Nephew Xiao, please sit down."

There was only one stone table and two stone benches in the stone room, and the old man had already reached the right side of the stone bench. When he saw Xiao Lin coming in, he pointed to the opposite stone bench and said softly to Xiao Lin.

"In front of the senior, where is Xiao Lin's seat, the disciple should stand and listen to the instruction." Xiao Lin couldn't figure out whether the old man in front of him was testing, so he said modestly.

"Hehe, in front of this old man, Martial Nephew Xiao doesn't have to be so reserved, please sit down."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin hesitated for a moment before saying "Thank you." Then he sat down on the stone bench opposite the old man.

After taking his seat, Xiao Lin fell silent, quietly waiting for the old man to speak first.

Sure enough, the old man smiled slightly when he saw Xiao Lin sitting down and said, "Nephew Xiao, don't worry, I don't mean anything malicious, my surname is Lan, and my name is Xin."

Xiao Lin was startled. Although Xiao Lin entered Dancao Mountain and didn't have much contact with people, he also knew that the surname Lan was one of the top ten cultivation families in Dancao Mountain. Since the old man in front of him was named Lan, there was a good chance it was Lan. family.

"So it's Senior Lan." Xiao Lin hurriedly got up and bowed again.

"Nephew Xiao Xian, you don't have to be polite. This time, the old man invited my nephew to this secret room because I want to trouble Nephew Xiao with one thing." The old man surnamed Lan said with a warm smile on his face.

"Senior Lan, please tell me." Xiao Lin said flatly, but he kept muttering in his heart.

"Nephew Xiao Xian is here to receive the reward for the Catacomb Trial?"

Seeing Xiao Lin nodding, the old man surnamed Lan said: "Since the crypt was discovered thousands of years ago, all monks who can pick purple spirit flowers in the crypt trial, whether they are casual cultivators or members of the cultivation family , once you join the five major sects, you can get a Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward."

Glancing at the silent Xiao Lin, the old man surnamed Lan continued: "However, for outer disciples with no background, even if they get the Foundation Establishment Pill, it may be a disaster rather than a blessing."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He finally understood the purpose of the old man surnamed Lan being so passionate about him. The feelings came from his own foundation-building pill.

"Nephew Xiao Xian was able to pass the trial in the burrow and join the sect. It is considered a bit of luck, and he is also a smart person. The old man hopes that nephew Xiao Xian can give this foundation-building pill to our Lan family. Of course, we The Lan family will not let nephew Xiao Xian give up a Foundation Establishment Pill for nothing, and will compensate a large number of spirit stones and magic weapons."

Seeing that Xiao Lin was still silent, the old man surnamed Lan took out a three-inch knife with a faint blue light from his storage bag, and gently placed it on the table.

"This blue water knife is a high-level magic weapon. I followed this old man for a long time. As long as nephew Xiao Xian promised to give the Foundation Establishment Pill to our Lan family, this blue water knife would be given to nephew Xiao Xian. Of course, follow-up Lan will also compensate my nephew with 2000 yuan of low-grade spirit stones." Seeing Xiao Lin's silence, the old man surnamed Lan thought that Xiao Lin wanted to see the compensation first, so he took out a high-level magic weapon and promised to give it to him. It seems that there are a lot of spirit stones.

It's just that he didn't know that Xiao Lin couldn't see the high-level magic weapon put out by the old man at all, although the only meaning of the Foundation Establishment Pill that was rewarded for the crypt trial was to him. He just provided an opportunity to build a foundation.

He didn't think he could succeed in building a foundation with just one Foundation Establishment Pill, and Xiao Lin, who had the spirit wood space, could completely refine the Foundation Establishment Pill in batches.

But this opportunity is more important in a certain sense. As long as Xiao Lin gets this Foundation Establishment Pill, he can use it to succeed in Foundation Establishment and avoid many unnecessary doubts.

But the old man surnamed Lan obviously didn't think so. Seeing that Xiao Lin was still expressionless, he thought that Xiao Lin wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to open his mouth, so his face turned gloomy.

"Nephew Xiao Xian, the strength of our Lan family in the entire Dancao Mountain can also be ranked in the top three of the top ten cultivation families. Among the thirteen Jindan ancestors in Dancao Mountain, one is the Supreme Elder of our Lan family. Not to mention that nephew Xian is just a disciple of an outer sect in the Qi refining period, even if he succeeds in building the foundation, he will be completely unable to compete with our Lan family."

Paused, "What's more, with nephew Xiao Xian's aptitude as a pseudo-spiritual root, the probability of successfully building a foundation with a foundation establishment pill is very small. Instead of this, it's better to exchange for some benefits for yourself, and as long as Xiao Nephew Xian promised to give this Foundation Establishment Pill to our Lan Family, and I can guarantee that Nephew Xiao will definitely go smoothly in Dancao Mountain in the future, and I can also arrange some lucrative errands for Nephew Xiao."

"As long as nephew Xiaoxian promises to give this foundation-building pill to our Lan family, I will definitely find a beautiful junior from the family in the future, and become a Taoist partner with my nephew. By then, my nephew will be regarded as half of my Lan family." Brother, we will be a family at that time."

Hearing this, Xiao Lin couldn't help sneering: "Elder Lan, this Foundation Establishment Pill was obtained by Xiao Lin through a catacomb trial after a near-death experience. You want to use a high-level magic weapon and a mere two thousand low-grade spirit stones to get it. Do you want Xiao Lin to give up the opportunity to build a foundation? Sorry, this request is difficult for Xiao Lin to obey."

Hearing this, the old man surnamed Lan suddenly became gloomy when he looked at it.

"Xiao Lin, I'm trying to persuade you with good words. Don't be ignorant of good and evil. Don't say that you can't handle it alone. What's more, even if the Jindan ancestors of our Lan family are not allowed to fight each other in the sect, it's hard to guarantee that they won't fight each other." Something happened."

Hearing the threatening words, Xiao Lin did not refute, but just looked at the old man surnamed Lan with an idiot's eyes, then stood up, and walked out of the stone room.

After walking out of the stone room, Xiao Lin saw that there was another stone door on the side of the side hall. The stone door had already been opened, and Xiao Lin walked in calmly!
