Seeking the Immortal Way

"Thank you for your advice, Deacon Elder." Lin Yan cupped his hands politely towards Elder Hong Tao.

Hong Tao smiled and nodded towards Lin Yan, leaving behind two deacon disciples to handle the situation, and brought the others, and walked far away.

After walking a distance away, Gu Ming frowned at the Elder and asked: "Elder, there is one thing I still don't quite understand."

"What is it?" Hong Tao asked him.

"This Lin Yan is average, but he is only at the peak of the early stage of Foundation Establishment. As for Duan Chun, he has extraordinary techniques and rich experience, on that day in the kitchen, many of us wanted to keep him, but were unable to do so. How did Lin Yan kill him?" Gu Ming asked Elder Hong Tao curiously.

Hong Tao stroked his beard, carefully thinking about it, then answered: "I also don't understand, but I have fought against Duan Chun before, although he was only a middle stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level, his fighting style and experience, really made me sigh in admiration, and now that he has died at Lin Yan's hands, I feel that there is only one possibility, and that is that Duan Chun was too careless, which is why Lin Yan seized this opportunity."

Gu Ming thought about it, and felt that this was the only thing that he could say, and asked the clan elder: "Oh right, I heard that this Lin Yan had some bad deeds in the Sky Cloud Martial Sect when he was fighting with people from the same sect. Elder, what do you think about this matter?"

Hong Tao chuckled, then said to him: "People have their youth, at their age, it's normal for them to struggle and be ruthless. As long as they do not go against principles, it's understandable that there are no serious consequences. From a cultivation perspective, this can be considered as a type of life experience."

After walking a few steps, Elder Hong Tao's face sank, and said to Gu Ming who was beside him: "Pass down an order, this matter must be properly investigated, and see if there are any powers behind this Duan Chun, I feel that this matter is not that simple. If they were to find any clues, they must make their forces pay the price."

"Yes, Elder." Gu Ming agreed as he followed behind Elder Hong Tao and walked into the distance.

Seeing that the clan elder and his group had left, Zhang Ming and a few senior brothers supported Lin Yan and walked towards the distance, their mouths constantly saying words of congratulations. Originally, they wanted to celebrate, but after thinking about it, since Lin Yan's condition was not good, and could not handle the torture, they decided to wait until he was fully recovered.

Zhang Quan was stunned on the spot, feeling that today's matter was somewhat inconceivable. Even though the outcome was already very clear, he still couldn't believe everything that was happening. He couldn't help but be dumbstruck as he looked at Lin Yan's back in the distance.

The two disciples standing behind Zhang Quan discussed softly.

This is his third time doing meritorious deed, the Cloud-Stepping Boots under his feet and the Symbol Sword in his hands, they are all meritorious. When will such a good thing ever land on us?

"I don't think so, look at the injuries on Lin Yan's body and his sorry state, only Lin Yan is so strong. If we met him, we would have already died under his sword long ago.

"That's right, although Lin Yan made a huge contribution this time, he almost lost half of his life, this kind of contribution is truly dangerous, and is not easy to imitate."

When Zhang Quan heard how the people around him were continuously praising Lin Yan, he also felt a little complicated in his heart. He originally thought that this time, Lin Yan was fighting with someone from the same sect, but he didn't expect that Lin Yan would actually be able to produce such a miraculous result.

However, Lin Yan did have some ability, he was able to kill such a strong enemy, although he was injured, but compared to the contribution he had made, it was worth it. If it happened to him, he would be the one lying down.

Today, he had wronged Lin Yan in front of so many fellow disciples, and Lin Yan would probably find trouble with him in the future. In this way, he would never be Lin Yan's match, and hoped that would be generous and not lower himself to him. Otherwise, his future days would not be good.

Thinking about that, Zhang Quan sighed, turned, and left the scene dejectedly.

Lin Yan was escorted by the other senior brothers back to his own room to rest. After applying medicine to his wound, it stopped the bleeding, and he would need to rest for a while to recover.

Zhang Ming and the others also knew that Lin Yan needed to rest, so they tactfully left.

After everyone had left, Lin Yan took out the palm sized black box from his chest and looked at it carefully. From the surface, it looked like a black box.

However, there was no opening in the box's surroundings. It was like a black brick the size of a palm. It was completely one and had no opening at all.

Lin Yan also felt that it was a little strange. He shook it a little, but there was no sound coming from it, so he used his hands to lightly knock on it a few times. The sound coming from the box was not dull at all, as if there was some space inside.

Was it empty? If that was really the case, why would Duan Chun place an empty box in his arms? That doesn't make much sense.

Circulating the Purple Void Pupil Skill, he once again looked at the box in his hands. He discovered that the black, fog-like object on top seemed to be a type of scattered glyph that was even moving.

Lin Yan could not help but frown and look at the runes carefully. He could not help but think that if he wanted to open the box, he would need to put the runes on it together, only then would it be possible to open the box. Moreover, this black mist would envelop the box, covering the object and hiding the reason behind it.

After observing a bit more, Lin Yan couldn't help but shake his head and laugh bitterly. Maybe, Duan Chun accidentally discovered this item, but he didn't know how to open it, so he kept it in his pocket and placed it at the side.

Now that this thing was in his hands, although he did not seem to have any clues, if he could arrange these runes together, he might truly be able to find a way to remove it. Furthermore, Lin Yan had a feeling that this object's grade was definitely not low. However, his current abilities were limited, so he should first increase his strength before thinking about anything else.

The next morning, Lin Yan still woke up early, sat up, stretched his body a bit, and felt that his entire body was sore. Thinking back to last night's battle, Lin Yan could not help but smile bitterly, packed up a few simple things, and went to kitchen to eat.
