Chapter 24: Cheated?

  "Ding Dong!"

  The inner gate of the Gongxian Hall has been opened, and an old man appeared behind the counter, saying in a loud voice:

  "The Heavenly Spirit Pill is ready, disciples who need to exchange it come forward!"

  "Master Mo Yan!"

  The old man appeared, and the six people present, except for Tang Lin, all bowed their heads in respect, showing great reverence! "Hmph, alright, what do you want to exchange? Come on up!"

  "Master Shu, let this Tang Shidi go first, he said he wants to exchange all 300 Tianling Dan, he's very rich and has over 300 contribution points!"

  "Tang Lin, you first, let's see just how much money you have!"

  Cheng Can looked at Tang Lin with a smile on his face and said.

  "Tang Lin? Are you Tang Lin?"

  The old man had also heard about the recent events, and was told that a disciple named Tang Lin had withstood Lu Hu's move with just one layer of Qi training without dying, and could even stand up again. He had been wanting to take a look at this disciple who had caused such a commotion in the Tianjian Sect.

  "Ah, Master Uncle, I am Tang Lin!"

  "The Five Elements' miscellaneous spiritual roots, one layer of Qi cultivation, did you really catch Lu Hu's move?"

  "Ah, Lu Hu is nothing special either. That move he used on me didn't even leave a scratch. If Xiao Shixiong hadn't appeared, I would have beaten him to the point where his own mother wouldn't recognize him."

  Looking at the young man in front of him, the old man's eyebrows furrowed. On this child's body, he seemed to see the shadow of Long Xiao Tian, with the same arrogance and domineering air, the same temperament, and the same annoyingness. However, the sharp aura on this child's body, and his daring courage, made one look at him in a new light.

  "What would you like to exchange?"

  "Master Uncle, I want to exchange for Tianling Dan."

  "How many?"

  "All!"

  As soon as Tang Lin spoke, even the old man couldn't help but laugh. This kid is indeed not ordinary, and his boasting is so bold. Who knows if he'll be a talent in the future!

  "Tang Lin, I have 300 Tianling Dan here, each worth 500 contribution points, totaling 1.5 million contribution points, do you have any?"

  "No!"

  Tang Lin's response was concise and he didn't show any surprise at all after hearing these numbers!

  "Tang Lin, aren't you very rich? Your contribution degree is over 300, so rich! Haha... looking at your silly face, it's really embarrassing to death!"

  Faced with Cheng Cai's ridicule, Tang Lin remained calm and asked:

  "Master Uncle, I don't have 150,000 contribution points, but I do have ten years' worth of Tianling Grass. I wonder how many stalks it would take to exchange for these three hundred Tianling Pills?"

  "Ten-year-old Angelica? Do you have it?"

  At this time, Mo Yan was also surprised. The ten-year-old Tianling grass had not been seen for many years. To refine a furnace of Tianling Dan, the indispensable thing is this Tianling grass. The higher the year, the greater the chance of becoming Dan, and the quantity is also extremely impressive. There is also a kind of pill that needs to be refined with Tianling grass, and the year must be more than five years old, which is Zhuji Dan.

  "Three hundred pills of Heavenly Spirit require ten stalks of Heavenly Spirit Grass that are ten years old!"

  "Alright! I've got it, you two can leave now, get out of here!"

  Looking at the Tianling grass taken out by Zhang Da and Peng, Mo Yan laughed so hard that his eyes were invisible, while Cheng Can and others stared blankly, standing there like wooden stakes, completely without reaction!

  Taking the storage bag containing 300 Tianling Dan from Mo Yan's hand, Tang Lin felt refreshed. Looking at the few people who were stunned like wooden chickens, he was even more delighted.

  "Alright, you all go out and take a look. See which of your fellow disciples need the Spirit Revival Dan. You can exchange it with them at half price, but be sure to keep an eye on things. Don't give even half a dan to those arrogant ones who look down on others!"

  After finishing, he looked at Lu Piaoxue. It would be better not to look, but now that he did, Tang Lin was delighted. The expressions of these three people were really too rich, especially Lu Piaoxue. Now, Tang Lin could confirm that Lu Piaoxue's killing intent towards him was unprecedentedly high. If they weren't in the Tianjian Gate, perhaps he would already be a dead man.

  Looking at Tang Lin's arrogant appearance, Lu Piaoxue gritted her teeth and said:

  "Tang Lin, you're going down! One day I'll kill you! Let's go!"

  "Are you leaving? Then I won't see you off! Be careful on your way out, watch out for slippery roads!"

  From start to finish, Tang Lin had a smile on his face. In his heart, nothing could make Lu Fengxue eat more exciting than this.

  "Tang Lin, do you know the origin of those Lu siblings?" Mo Yan asked.

  "I know, I've heard Zhan Shixiong mention it before. Their father is the God Demon Temple Envoy Lu Chengfeng. It's said that this person is not someone to be trifled with!"

  "Since you know, why offend them? You should know that even the master has to be polite in front of Lu Chengfeng. You're just a Qi Refining stage cultivator, how dare you offend them?"

  "Master Uncle, I didn't want to cause trouble, but I just can't stand their arrogant faces, they're all born of parents, why are they so high and mighty, bullying others at will? With me Tang Lin here, they'd better not think about it, I don't care who his father is, when my cultivation improves, even if his father comes, I'll still beat him up!"

  As they spoke, a thread of sharp aura rose from Tang Lin's body. He didn't feel it himself, but Mo Yan saw it clearly - this thread of sharp aura shouldn't be present on Tang Lin's body. Although he was at the first level of Qi training, in essence, he wasn't much different from an ordinary person. Those who possessed sharp auras were at least at the third level of Qi training, but Tang Lin had one, and this thread of sharp aura was extremely overbearing.

  At this moment, Mo Yan finally believed that the young man in front of him indeed had something extraordinary about him. He seemed to have secrets on his body and being able to withstand Lu Hu's one move was not a coincidence.

  "Tang Linna, Master Shu has some good things here, you can use them, are you thinking of exchanging?"

  "Master uncle, you still have good stuff, what is it? Take it out and let me see!"

  "Tang Lin, although our Tianjian Gate is a sword-based sect, before reaching the 7th layer of Qi cultivation, you won't be able to comprehend the intent of the sword. This is why those outer disciples need to enter the inner gate. Right now, you're empty-handed and if you get into a dispute with someone, you don't even have the most basic self-defense ability. Master has a set of sword techniques called 'Tianlang Sword Techniques', it's an internal scripture of our Tianjian Gate that is not passed down externally. Even those inner disciples don't have the qualifications to cultivate this technique, only the gate master and I know it. Are you willing to learn it?"

  "Master Uncle, is the Tianlang Sword Technique powerful? Can it defeat that cripple Lu Hu?"

  "The Tianlang Sword Manual is the most powerful sword manual of our Tiangong Sect. You say it can't defeat Lu Hu, but this sword manual is extremely difficult to cultivate. If you can't bear the hardship, I advise you not to practice it!"

  "Master Uncle, I can endure hardship, as long as I can defeat Lu Hu, I can endure any hardship, I will learn this sword technique!"

  "Alright! Ten stalks of ten-year-old Tianling grass, this sword technique is yours. Additionally, I'm personally giving you a set of swords, consisting of thirty-six blades. Although their quality is only that of a fourth-grade artifact, if used well, their power will be extremely strong. However, wanting to control these thirty-six swords is an extremely difficult task!"

  "I'm not afraid, Master Uncle. I'll take all of these." He said, pulling out ten stalks of Tianling Grass from his storage bag and handing them over.

  But then Tang Lin found out that he might have been deceived by Mo Yan, because he smelled a hint of conspiracy from Mo Yan's expression.

  "Master Mo Yan, you wouldn't deceive me, would you?"

  His question also stunned Mo Yan, such sharp insight, is it something a young man should have?

  "Bullshit! How could an old man like me cheat you, a little rabbit? Take your stuff and get out of here, your brothers are still waiting for you!"

  Tang Lin hesitantly put away his things and walked out of the Contribution Hall, but he couldn't shake off the feeling that this old man had an ulterior motive and had cheated him out of ten stalks of Tianling Grass.

  Just after Tang Lin left, two people walked behind Mo Yan, a man and a woman. The man was none other than Long Xiao Tian, while the woman was also one of the elders of the Tian Jian Men, Long Xiao Tian's junior sister, Bi Yun.

  "This kid is indeed extraordinary, practicing the first layer of Qi and directly connecting with the Tiger's Claw without dying. The physique of this rabbit is absolutely not as simple as it looks." The speaker was Long Xuan Tian.

  "Big brother, is this really okay? Is the Tianlang Sword Manual really being passed down to this child?" Biyun said.

  "Sister, I won't misjudge someone. Tang Lin is naturally talented for sword cultivation. The Tian Lang Sword Technique will not be wasted in his hands. Besides, didn't Brother Mo already owe him ten stalks of Tian Ling Grass?"

  "This little guy is cunning and clever, almost exposing me, you're just as bad!" Mo Yan said, glancing at Long Xiao Tian.

  "Haha, Master Mo said it right, this kid's temper is just like yours. Even Master Mo, who is usually calm and composed, has started scolding people. It seems that the Tianjian Sect will produce a future demon king!" Biyun laughed.

  "Haha, that's right! Without looking at whose disciple I am, I'm the disciple of Long Xiao Tian. How could I be a bear? Not to mention being the Demon King of Chaos, even if these rabbits turned the world upside down, I'd take responsibility for them!"

  "Virtue!" Biyun looked at Long Xiao Tian and said with a curl of her lip.

  "Hush, don't be too happy yet. I just found out that Tang Lin has already made a deadly enemy of the Lu family. This is not something to be optimistic about. Although Lu Hu and his sister are nominally my disciples in the Tianjian Sect, their goals...I think you understand them better than anyone else. If you don't handle this well, there might be trouble."

  "Hmph! Trouble? When has Long Xiao Tian ever cared about trouble? They'd best behave themselves, otherwise I wouldn't suggest annihilating them. As long as no evidence is left behind, what can Lu Chengfeng do to me?"

  "Ah, it's better to be cautious for now and not mention this matter. Just now, I found that the two disciples beside Tang Lin are also quite good, although their cultivation is still insufficient, but their potential is not ordinary, these are the hopes of our Tianjian Gate."

  Mo Yan looked towards the two brothers who were busy at the door.

  "Not just them, not just the two of them. Among the outer door disciples, in terms of character and talent, there are several more who can be cultivated. They are all the future hopes of my Tianjian Gate. In the inner gate qualification battle half a year from now, I hope these wolf cubs will all perform well!"

  "The will of the successive leaders of the Tianjian Gate may need them to carry on!"

  Long Xiao Tian finished speaking and looked expectantly towards the outside of the door!
