For three days in a row, Tian Lin was refining the so-called Heart-Questing Pill.

He probably really didn't have any talent for alchemy, so after three days in a row, he only managed to refine three low-quality black heart-asking pills.

Moreover, these three black Heart-Questing Pills were refined by his luck.

Given another three days at this time, he had no confidence that he could successfully refine the Heart-Questing Pill, even if it was of inferior quality.

[Inferior Shenglong Pill, Shenglong Magic Auxiliary Pill, edible]

Looking at the pills in the box that looked like black dung balls pushed out by a dung beetle, Tian Lin closed the exquisite wooden box.

Outside the house, Senior Brother Zhao's voice suddenly sounded: "Is it you? Are you—"

"This is medicine, for your senior brothers-"

Then came the voice of the man in white.

Tian Lin hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door, only to see Senior Brother Zhao holding a porcelain vase in his hand, but looking at the wooden stairs going downstairs in the corridor in astonishment.

Tian Lin looked at the wooden ladder, but did not see the figure of the Wenxin Sect disciple.

"Where are the people?"

Tian Lin asked and heard Senior Brother Zhao say: "He only gave me a medicine bottle and left before he finished speaking."

When Senior Brother Zhao spoke, he handed the medicine bottle to Tian Lin, but Tian Lin did not reach out to take it. Instead, he ran down the wooden ladder.

Tian Lin's movements were extremely fast, and when he rushed downstairs, the man in white had not yet left the inn.

Tian Lin shouted to the man in white who was about to leave at the entrance of the lobby: "Brother, stay here."

The man in white froze his figure, turned around and looked directly at Tian Lin. He saw that Tian Lin had turned around to avoid the diners coming and going, walked up to him and cupped her hands:

"In Xia Tianlin, thank you senior brother for coming to deliver the medicine. But why did senior brother leave in such a hurry, and left without even having a cup of tea?"

The man in white turned his head, stared at the corner and said in a cold tone: "I'm very busy, and I have to patrol the town, so I won't disturb you guys."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Tian Lin quickly chased after him.

The man in white heard the sound of Tian Lin's footsteps. When he turned around, he pulled the sword halfway out of the sheath and looked at Tian Lin with warning.

Tian Lin quickly stopped, cupped his hands with the man in white and said:

"Since senior brother doesn't have time to go upstairs to drink tea, you should charge for the soup and medicine, right? It doesn't make sense for me to ask you, senior brother, to help me refine the medicine for free when I'm injured."

The man in white put away his sword, turned his head again to avoid Tian Lin's sight, and said in a cold tone:

"You were trying to protect me from the injury caused by the silver needle. I won't charge you for the soup and medicine."

"No - although I helped you, senior brother, to block the silver needle, at that time, senior brother was also trying to save my three brothers. Otherwise, senior brother would not have taken the risk of confronting Hall Master Qian and the others."

The man in white frowned: "It is my duty to kill the blood cultists. I am not here to save you."

"But the fact is, senior brother, you have saved me."

After Tian Lin finished speaking, he took out the wooden box from the storage bag.

He opened the wooden box, took out one of the three poor-looking pills and handed it over:

"This Questioning Pill is my wish. Senior brother, please accept it."

As soon as he said this, the man in white turned his head and looked at Tian Lin, opened his mouth and said in surprise: "Questioning Heart Pill?"

"That's right, since I don't practice the art of asking the mind, this pill is completely useless to me. It's better to leave one for you, senior brother, so as to enhance your cultivation."

As far as Tian Lin knows, the Wenxin Sect does not have the formula for the Wenxin Pill.

Not only did the Wenxin Sect not have the formula for the Wenxin Pill, but the Yueyue Sect itself also did not have the auxiliary elixir formula for the Cangming Swordsmanship and Earth Escape Technique.

Tian Lin couldn't tell the specific reason. He only knew that the Questioning Pill in front of him would surely impress the man in white.

Sure enough, the man in white looked at the elixir in Tian Lin's hand and wanted to take it but hesitated.

Tian Lin simply stuffed the Questioning Pill into his arms and said with a smile:

"I got this Questioning Heart Pill from the sect, and I only have three pills with me. Now I give this pill to you, senior brother, and it can be considered as repayment of the cost you spent on practicing the medicine for me."

This time Tian Lin no longer pestered the man in white, but strode back to the inn.

As soon as he returned to the inn, he walked quickly to the window lattice.

However, he discovered that the man in white did not take out the Heart-Questing Pill she gave him, but instead started fighting with a man on the street.

Tian Lin was a little confused when he heard Senior Brother Zhao frowning and saying:

"This senior brother from the Wenxin Sect seems to be a little weak-tempered, so that he was teased by gangsters. The senior brother just put the elixir into his arms, which seemed to have caused misunderstanding among others, thinking that you gave him a hair payment. ”

Tian Lin was stunned and didn't understand what nonsense Brother Zhao was talking about.

"That man is too deceptive, but this senior fellow from the Wenxin Sect has a too good temper. If it were me, I would have killed that rogue mortal with a single blow of my sword."

After Brother Zhao finished speaking, he raised his sword and was about to open the window, but was blocked by Tian Lin.

Tian Lin said: "This senior fellow from the Wenxin Sect is a bit withdrawn, and he doesn't seem to like receiving favors from others. He may not be grateful if we go out to help him with things that he can solve by himself."

Not long after Tian Lin finished speaking, Senior Brother Zhao had already broken away from the rogue man's hand, and then ran away and disappeared.

Junior Brother Jiang echoed:

"Yes, I saw that Senior Brother Zhangfeng gave him the elixir, but he didn't seem to appreciate it!"

As soon as Junior Brother Jiang finished speaking, Senior Brother Zhao next to him also asked Tian Lindao: "Senior Brother Tian, ​​what is the elixir you gave him?"

Tian Lin didn't want to say the Questioning Pill for the moment, so he said casually:

"This elixir was given to me by the elder. They have been refining the elixir for me in the past three days to heal my injuries. I can't go without repayment."

After Tian Lin finished speaking, he said to Senior Brother Zhao and Junior Brother Jiang:

"I'm going out to collect some medicinal materials in the next two days. You two are waiting here. If the senior brother from the Wenxin Sect comes to see you, tell him that I will wait for him at the inn when I come back."

He actually didn't have anything to do when he went out, but he just felt that the inn at this time seemed a bit dangerous.

He didn't believe that after Wenxin Dan took action, the people of Wenxin Sect would not be tempted.

He was not sure about the character of the man in white, and was afraid that he would do something murderous and swindling for the purpose of asking for the Heart Pill.

After a while, Tian Lin went out as expected.

But he didn't go far. Instead, he booked a private room in the restaurant across the street.

This private room faces the window and faces the street, facing the direction of the inn.

When Tian Lin left his guest room, he deliberately opened the screen window of the guest room. So although others were in the restaurant, the situation in his guest room was clearly visible.

Throughout the afternoon, Tian Lin kept eating Guitou Yan.

His Wind Movement Technique and Dragon Elephant Magic Skill have now been perfected, and it is no longer useful to eat grass fish and three-legged toads.

Simply eat Guitouyan, so that the Yaoyang Finger can reach perfection as soon as possible.

When the lanterns first came on, the town was packed with people.

Tian Lin didn't wait for the man in white to appear, but saw Junior Brother Jiang change his clothes and leave the inn with his face covered.

Looking at Junior Brother Jiang's sneaky back, Tian Lin frowned.

He tore off the dried Guitouyan meat in his hand and looked away from Junior Brother Jiang's back while chewing it.

He turned his attention to the room where Senior Brother Zhao was. The screen windows were closed and the lights were not turned on. It seemed that Senior Brother Zhao was sleeping at this time.

After a night like this, before dawn the next day, Tian Lin saw Junior Brother Jiang running back to the inn.

Tian Lin stared at the tavern all night and found no other suspicious persons, but found that Junior Brother Jiang's behavior seemed the most suspicious.

In the next two days, Tian Lin kept staring at the inn in the tavern.

It's just that Senior Brother Zhao has never gone out except for eating in the past two days.

Junior Brother Jiang, on the other hand, would quietly leave the inn every time the lanterns came on, and quietly return to his room at dawn.

Tian Lin couldn't help but suspect that Junior Brother Jiang was colluding with the Blood Cult.

But he still calmed down and just stayed in the tavern and stared at the inn.

Finally, another day passed. Not long after Junior Brother Jiang left, the disciple in white from the Wenxin Sect appeared.

He wandered alone on the street in front of the inn for almost an hour, and then entered the inn.

It wasn't until another hour later that Tian Lin saw the man in white leaving the inn.

Tian Lin was puzzled, but he stayed at the tavern for another half an hour before leaving the tavern and returning to the inn.

Tian Lin pushed open his room. The layout of the room was no different from when he left, and there were no footprints on the dust on the ground.

So he no longer pushed the door carefully, but deliberately made the door squeak and make an unpleasant sound.

Sure enough, after he lit the oil lamp, the voice of Senior Brother Zhao next door sounded at the door:

"Senior Brother Tian, ​​you are finally back."

Tian Lin turned around and looked at Senior Brother Zhao with a smile. He raised his hand to invite Senior Brother Zhao to take a seat, poured a cup of tea and asked Senior Brother Zhao:

"I've been out for the past two days. Nothing happened, right?"

Senior Brother Zhao said: "Once Hall Master Qian and the others are dead, the blood cultists in the town should not dare to commit any crime for the next month or so, so no one will bother them during this period -

However, that senior brother Zhou Shiqiu came to see you during the day. "

"Zhou Shiqiu?"

Tian Lin frowned, and Senior Brother Zhao quickly explained to Tian Lin: "That's the Senior Brother from Wenxin Sect."

"Why did he come to me?"

After Tian Lin asked, Senior Brother Zhao quickly replied:

"That Senior Brother Zhou doesn't like to talk. He only said that he wants to find you, Senior Brother Tian. As for what he is looking for you for, I asked him and he refused to tell me."

Tian Lin asked him again: "How long has Senior Brother Zhou stayed in the inn?"

Senior Brother Zhao said: "When he heard that you were not here, he left directly."

Tian Lin looked at Senior Brother Zhao's expression as if he was lying, but Tian Lin was convinced that Zhou Shiqiu stayed in the tavern for an hour before leaving the inn.

What was he doing in the inn at this hour?

"Oh, where is Junior Brother Jiang?"

"Junior Brother Jiang is probably still sleeping now."

Senior Brother Zhao no longer hates Junior Brother Jiang as much as before, but he still remembers Junior Brother Jiang's 'betrayal' of him.

So in the past two days, he had not spoken to Junior Brother Jiang, nor had he spent any time together.

He thought that Junior Brother Jiang was still in the guest room, but Tian Lin knew that Junior Brother Jiang had already left the inn.

"It just so happens that I haven't eaten. Let's invite Junior Brother Jiang to have a chat while eating."

After Tian Lin finished speaking, he turned around and left the house.

The two of them arrived at Junior Brother Jiang's guest room, but no matter how hard they knocked on the door, they received no response.

It was just Tian Linze, but Senior Brother Zhao felt that something was fishy. He frowned and kicked open the door.

As soon as the door opened, where was Junior Brother Jiang in the room?

Senior Brother Zhao's expression changed and he couldn't help but said, "Could it be that the blood cultists have been here?"

Tian Lin shook his head and said:

"Junior Brother Jiang is at the tenth level of Qi Refining after all. It would be difficult for ordinary people to take him away quietly. But I don't see any traces of a fight in this room. It looks like Junior Brother Jiang left the house on his own initiative."

"What's he doing out there?"

While Senior Brother Zhao was speaking, he walked to the bed, reached out and picked up the clothes that Junior Brother Jiang had changed from the bed.

"Could it be Zhou Shiqiu? I heard that the Wenxin Sect is good at 'bewitching' people's hearts. Maybe Junior Brother Jiang was deceived by Zhou Shichou's mind-asking technique and followed Zhou Shiqiu out in a daze."

It would be fine if Tian Lin didn't see that Junior Brother Jiang went out by himself, but he saw with his own eyes that Junior Brother Jiang went out by himself in disguise——

Therefore, Tian Lin does not doubt Zhou Shiqiu.

"I think Senior Brother Zhou is not that kind of person."

"I understand - the man surnamed Jiang must be afraid of the Blood Cult's retaliation or the Wenxin Sect detaining him, so he escaped alone. He is the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. It is not surprising that he fled in the face of danger. ”

Tian Lin thought the same thing the first night when he monitored the inn. Junior Brother Jiang came back early the next morning.

He also suspected that Junior Brother Jiang was colluding with the blood cultists to plot against him and others, but during the past few days of surveillance, no suspicious people were seen around the inn.

"Why don't we wait until dawn tomorrow to see if Junior Brother Jiang returns to the inn. If he doesn't take the initiative to mention it after returning to the inn, we won't take the initiative to ask. We'll just see what he does next."

After Tian Lin finished speaking, he asked Senior Brother Zhao to put the clothes back on the bed, and then the two of them exited the room.

Senior Brother Zhao couldn't sleep and stayed in Tian Lin's house all night.

But Tian Lin hadn't slept for several days and fell asleep as soon as he went to bed. This made Senior Brother Zhao particularly admire Tian Lin's determination.

Early the next morning, Tian Lin opened his eyes and asked Senior Brother Zhao, "Is there any movement from Junior Brother Jiang's house?"

Senior Brother Zhao shook his head, and Tian Lin said: "Let's go to his house and have a look."

Senior Brother Zhao couldn't hold it any longer, got up and knocked on Junior Brother Jiang's door.

As Tian Lin expected, Junior Brother Jiang's door opened from the inside, and Junior Brother Jiang looked at Tian Lin in surprise and said, "Senior Brother Zhangfeng is back?"

Before Senior Brother Zhao could speak, Tian Lin smiled and said, "I just came back last night and came to see Junior Brother Jiang for dinner early this morning."

Junior Brother Jiang yawned, rubbed his bulging belly and said, "Brothers, go ahead, I'm not hungry now."

Tian Lin and Senior Brother Zhao went downstairs, and Senior Brother Zhao chatted with Tian Lin: "The smell of alcohol coming out of his mouth is not fake. It seems that he drank a lot with someone."

Tian Lin also frowned, but didn't say anything.

He actually didn't care about Junior Brother Jiang. After all, his main purpose was to safely enter Xinzong, and his main target was Zhou Shiqiu.

As for whether Junior Brother Jiang colludes with the Blood Cult and whether he wants to escape, Tian Lin actually doesn't care that much.

But not knowing things clearly is always a hidden danger. Tian Lin said to Senior Brother Zhao at the dining table in the lobby: "If he still goes out at night, you should follow him quietly."

Senior Brother Zhao nodded and waited anxiously for nightfall.

Sure enough, when the lanterns first came on, Junior Brother Jiang changed his clothes and went downstairs.

Senior Brother Zhao and Tian Lin, who had been watching the movement in the corridor, nodded, then opened the door and followed closely.

Tian Lin was nibbling the ghost-headed swallow alone in the house. When all the lights went out and only the restaurants and martial arts halls on the street were still lit, a figure suddenly moved outside the house.

Tian Lin frowned, watching the figures outside the house floating around outside the corridor like wandering spirits.

After half an hour of this, Tian Lin couldn't bear it anymore.

He turned over and jumped from the second-floor window to the street outside the inn, then took the sword and climbed up the wooden stairs to the second-floor corridor again.

When he looked at it, he realized that it was Zhou Shiqiu who had been 'wandering' outside the door.

Zhou Shiqiu was seen wandering outside the door of his room with a worried look on his eyebrows and a tangled look on his face.

Tian Lin suddenly remembered that when Zhou Shiqiu entered the inn yesterday during the day, he also lingered at the door of the inn for almost an hour.

"What kind of evil is this?"

Tian Lin felt a shiver in his heart, but after observing in secret for a long time, he did not see Zhou Shichou reciting a curse or deploying any hidden weapons.

After thinking about it, Tian Lin got off the wooden ladder again, jumped back to his guest room from the street while others were unprepared.

Sure enough, Zhou Shiqiu's figure was still lingering outside the door.

Tian Lin also wanted to know what Zhou Shiqiu was going to do. He coughed dryly, picked up the teapot on the table and opened the door.

Zhou Shiqiu froze in the corridor, raised his head and glanced at Tian Lin indifferently, then turned his head away.

Tian Lin smiled and said: "It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhou - I happened to be going out to change some hot water - is Senior Brother Zhou here to see me?"
