Seeking the Immortal Way

Hearing his words, Lin Yan frowned, and asked him: "Then were you not discovered? What if someone reports you? "

Xue Teng chuckled and replied to Lin Yan: "That won't happen, my realm is so low, so no matter which cave I enter, I'll first make sure to get into politely with those senior brothers, and they will naturally not make things difficult for me. Moreover, the place I occupy, is a place with no one around, and I will observe everything beforehand.

Lin Yan thought about it, and felt that it made sense, but there was one thing that the brat did not understand, and that was how he observed which cave's person would return after a long time.

"Then how do you know which cave is empty? And how do you know which senior brother will go on a mission and when will he be back? "

Xue Teng smiled and said to Lin Yan: "I'll keep this a secret from you. How about this, Senior Brother, if you're interested in this cave, you can go to the back of the cave and find me. I'll bring you in, it's absolutely safe."

Lin Yan smiled and nodded his head, looks like this guy still had some ability, maybe his relationship with the elders here was not ordinary, otherwise he wouldn't be taking such risks.

However, what Senior Brother Zhuo Yang said was right. His cultivation level was too low now, and even if he came in to cultivate, the results would not be too good. It would be better to find a place with plenty of spiritual energy to cultivate.

"Let's talk about it later." With that, Lin Yan closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.

Xue Teng smiled and quickly went to the other side of the formation and started cultivating.

During this period of time, Lin Yan and Xue Teng chatted together while cultivating. From their conversation, Lin Yan realized that this guy called Xue Teng was indeed able to get along with the elders here, which was why he was able to come and go as he pleased. At the same time, because the two of them were similar in age, they communicated extremely well, and quickly became friends that could talk about anything.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. At noon, the door sealing stone had already been opened, and a praying mat floated in from the outside. Lin Yan knew that his time had come, so he turned to bid farewell to Xue Teng.

Although they had only known each other for a short period of time, both of them were feeling reluctant to part with each other.

Lin Yan smiled and said to Xue Teng: "Junior Brother Xue, we will meet again in the future. Goodbye here.

Xue Teng nodded heavily and waved goodbye to Lin Yan.

Lin Yan turned and sat on the praying mat, and it immediately flew out of the cave and returned to the grass patch below.

After leaving the cave, Lin Yan headed towards his own residence.

Arriving at the entrance, he found a person in his twenties wearing a black robe. His long hair was tied behind his head, and he wore an emerald hairpin. A ribbon fluttered in the wind.

Lin Yan was curious, he felt that this person was familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

He suddenly remembered that the person was the Duty Hall disciple who came to inspect the scene that night, Gu Ming.

"Senior brother Gu, you're looking for me?" Lin Yan shouted to Gu Ming in front of him.

Hearing someone calling his name, Gu Ming turned his head and nodded towards Lin Yan with a smile.

Lin Yan came closer, opened the courtyard door, and said to Gu Ming: "Senior Brother Gu, what is the matter, let us talk inside."

Gu Ming nodded, and followed Lin Yan to the room. The two sat on chairs, and Lin Yan poured him a cup of tea, and asked: "Senior Brother Gu, why have you come looking for me?"

Gu Ming sipped on his tea and spoke to Lin Yan seriously: "After Duan Chun was killed by you, our Duty Hall started to investigate his identity, to see if there were any powers backing him up. After a few days of investigation, we discovered, that after Duan Chun left the Sky Cloud Martial Sect, he did indeed join a Rogue Cultivator organization called the Luo Sha Hall."

Pausing for a moment, Gu Ming continued to speak to Lin Yan. "Duan Chun and Luo Sha Hall can be considered to be in a cooperative relationship, and the Luo Sha Hall provides him with cultivation techniques and Pills s, but Duan Chun, using his understanding of the Sky Cloud Martial Sect, sneaked into the clan warehouse multiple times, stole rare Spirit Grass s, and exchanged with them. This kind of business, has probably continued for around twenty years or so, if not for you discovering his whereabouts, who knows how many more spirit medicines our Sky Cloud Martial Sect would have lost."

Lin Yan frowned slightly and said: "No wonder when I fought with him that day, I found out that his swordsmanship is extremely strange. So he actually cultivated a kind of evil technique.

Gu Ming sighed, then said: "At that time, when we found out about all of this, we immediately reported it to the sect. The sect's higher ups and elders said that they had to eliminate this Luo Sha Hall, but when we moved, this Luo Sha Hall seemed to have obtained some news, and immediately went to empty the building, and no one knew where it went."

"Today, Clan Elder Hong Tao wanted me to remind you to be more careful, so as to not let the enemy take revenge. The rogue cultivators in the Luo Sha Hall are not simple, they are all powerful experts, and with your strength, you are not their match."

Lin Yan nodded. "I understand, I will be extra careful. Thank you for your reminder, Senior Brother Gu."

Gu Ming laughed, and then explained everything that had happened during the past few days of investigation, and then left.

He was frowning deeply as his thoughts became heavy. He did not expect that there was actually another power backing Duan Chun, and now that Duan Chun was dead, no one was willing to provide them with Spirit Grass. At the same time, he was also discovered by the Sky Cloud Martial Sect, causing them to be forced to move.

Moreover, this Luo Sha Hall was well-informed, and would most likely come for revenge in the future. If it really was like that, then he would have to use all his time and increase his cultivation, and if even one day they managed to sneak in an expert from the Ethereal Opening Realm, he might not be able to survive.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan packed up briefly and decided to go to the sect's underground market to try his luck. He wanted to see if he could find some good Pills s to help him raise his cultivation level.

After placing a few spirit stones in his bosom, Lin Yan seemed to have touched something. He took it out to examine it carefully, and it was precisely that black box he had found on Duan Chun's corpse the other day.

Lin Yan looked at the runes on it again. After thinking about it, the runes seemed to have a certain order, and if he could reorganize them, he might be able to find a way to open the box.

Only he was able to see such complicated symbols. The others didn't seem to be able to help, so he decided to try his luck in the Scripture Pavilion. Who knows, there might be something recorded on it.

Carrying the box in his hand, Lin Yan saw that it was still early, and took the order badge, walking towards the direction of the Sky Cloud Martial Sect's Scripture Pavilion.
