There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 617 Li Miaolin

Liu Huai'en was somewhat speechless after being asked this question. After two breaths of silence, he said, "You are quite bold. You use yourself as bait to get involved in the game so that your northern lineage can smoothly intervene in the south. Aren't you afraid of incurring a fatal disaster?"

Li Miaolin smiled and did not answer the question first. Instead, he glanced at the Qigong practitioner who was leading the way next to him. The latter cleverly stepped aside.

Liu Huai'en frowned slightly as he watched the Qigong practitioner leave, wondering whether he should get rid of him. Then he heard Li Miaolin say, "I have already secretly refined them into puppets. Also, fellow Taoist, don't think of letting me take advantage of your trick, because Chang Qing Zhenren probably won't trust me."

He looked at Lu Shan and the others again. They had already made hand gestures with their right hands and were ready to attack at any time. It was obvious that they did not trust Li Miaolin, so Li Miaolin did not invite them into the courtyard for tea.

"As for the fatal disaster you mentioned, I have really thought about it over and over again. However, compared to entering the southern cultivation world this time, some risks are still worth taking. If things really cannot be done, I can still kneel down and beg for mercy. Your Taoist Wan Zhi has some friendship with my master. As long as I beg for mercy, I think she will save my life."

Hearing this, Liu Huai'en looked Li Miaolin up and down again and said with a smile, "You are quite interesting. If I have the chance, I will meet you and have a few drinks with you."

Li Miaolin also smiled and responded, "Fellow Daoist, you are not like those fools in Linshui Mansion. Do you really think that we have locked ourselves up and become stupid? Although I have never left Xizhou, I am not ignorant of everything. There is no order in Xizhou, and there is no human etiquette. There is no good or bad between people, only strong and weak."

"When I have nothing to do, I often make puppets to play with the surrounding tribes. I have experienced hatred, killing, war, and the most common struggle for power. Sometimes I even make some puppets and give them corresponding memories, so that they kill each other..."

Liu Huai'en looked Li Miaolin up and down again when he heard this, but Lu Shan behind him said, "Master, let's talk about this after we get to Jinhuai City, how about that?"

Li Miaolin immediately stopped talking, clasped his fists and said, "I'm sorry, for all these years, besides my master, I have only had the servants of the tribe around me. I really can't find anyone to talk to, so when I see you fellow Taoists, I can't help but say a few more words."

"Fellow Taoist, please!"

Liu Huai'en made an inviting gesture and did not show the case file again. He was a little confused by Li Miaolin's attitude. Lu Shan's reminder made him realize that this man could not be truly trusted unless he really followed him to Nanlin Road.

As for the demon army that Li Miaolin mentioned just now, and the spies who were in secret contact with Li Miaolin, they were nothing but trivial matters, because all parties had already joined the game, and since they had already joined the game, it was impossible for them to retreat!

The return trip was not as troublesome as the return trip. They simply used their ID cards to fly back to Qianmu Temple. The sun was setting when they returned to Qianmu Temple.

As early as the moment they rose into the air, Wang Ping learned about it through the puppet of Ningzhou Road, so when they entered Qianmu Temple, Li Miaolin was surrounded by other three-level cultivators led by Yuan Zhengdai.

After Liu Huai'en explained the whole story, Wang Ping bowed to Li Miaolin in front of everyone and apologized, "I was rude and disturbed you, fellow Taoist."

Li Miaolin quickly returned the greeting and said, "Master, that's not right. I was too reckless and should have come to visit you earlier."

After saying that, he actually bowed his head in worship!
Yu Lian, who was lying on Wang Ping's shoulder, said in Wang Ping's spiritual sea: "This man is a heavy killer. The number of lives lost because of him is almost equal to half of the population of the Xia Dynasty during its heyday!"

Wang Ping heard this and paused for a moment as he was about to help Li Miaolin up. He then helped Li Miaolin up naturally and said with a smile, "Daoyou has come from afar for the people of Ningzhou Road, so I should be the one to greet you!"

Li Miaolin kept saying "I dare not" and observed everyone at the scene from the corner of his eyes. There were Yuanzheng, Dongcan, Yingqing, Houjun, Liu Huai'en and Lu Shan, three weapon cultivators, plus Wang Ping in front of him and Yulian on Wang Ping's shoulder, a total of ten third-level cultivators. As he was thinking, a flash of light flashed in the sky. It was Wu Fu who saw the movement just now and flew up from Zhonghui County to check the situation. When Li Miaolin looked up, his eyebrows jumped uncontrollably. He was scared.

"All of you fellow Taoists are gathered here today!" Wu Fu said casually, bowing.

"Let's welcome a distinguished guest." Facing the golden sunset in the sky, Wang Ping called Wu Fu and said, "This is the new chief abbot of Ningzhou Road, Taoist Master Li Miaolin."

Wang Ping then introduced everyone to Li Miaolin. After they exchanged politeness, the sun had already set. They chatted for a while and Yuan Zheng found a reason to lead everyone away.

Liu Huai'en was smart to stay. After all, Li Miaolin still could not be fully trusted.

"Fellow Daoist Liu said that you came to Ningzhou Road at the invitation of Linshui Mansion. Can you tell me who you are from Linshui Mansion?"

Wang Ping asked very directly. While asking, he took out the communication token to communicate with Hu Yin, asking her to arrange for reinforcements to go south as soon as possible. Then he sent a message to Xia Wenyi in the front hall, asking him to come to the dojo on the top of the mountain.

"They came to see me in the name of Linshui Prefecture, but the one who talked to me was a fellow disciple of our Taiyan Sect. Daoist friends must have heard of his name..." Li Miaolin glanced at Liu Huai'en next to him, "He was Senior Zhiyuan, one of the five chiefs of the third seat of Daozang Hall!"

Liu Huai'en frowned slightly when he heard this.

The same was true for Wang Ping. This was an unexpected name for him. He thought it was Cheng Xi or Que Cai. He really couldn't figure out why this Senior Zhiyuan did this.

"Does he also want to compete for the fourth realm? Isn't it rumored that he has no chance of reaching the fourth realm?" Yu Lian asked.

"This old fellow calls himself a senior, and he is so petty. I guess he is jealous of your reputation as a genius, while he himself is just a pile of dry bones!" Li Miaolin first mocked Zhiyuan Taoist, and then officially said:
"He seems to be a descendant of the Northern Taiyan Sect, but in fact, when he first started practicing, he followed the Taiyan Sect in the southwest sea area. This matter is not remarkable, and no more than five people know about it now."

Wang Ping looked up at Xia Wenyi who had flown to the mountaintop dojo, motioned him to wait, and then took over Li Miaolin's topic and said, "Are you saying that the person behind him is Taoist Master Cheng Xi?"

"Yes!"

"Can you confirm this?"

"The person they arranged to contact me on Ningzhou Road was turned into a puppet by me the day after I arrived. After half a month of investigation, the entire line is almost under my control. Through their memories, I even found out where Taoist Cheng Xi is practicing now!"

After saying this, Li Miaolin explained, "Our lineage specializes in puppetry. We can use the magic array that we have drawn up in advance to drive the 'Tongtian Talisman' to refine living people into puppets in a flash, but the number of puppets that can be refined is limited, and they can only survive for half a year at most!"
