Chapter 118 I am a genius
When I opened the secret room, I found that the snow outside had stopped long ago. The sky and the earth were vast, as if I had entered a white fairy tale world. Snowflakes gently covered the branches, and the trees seemed to be dressed in silver and white costumes.

"Sir, are you out of seclusion?"

Yunxiu said in surprise.

"Where's the stone?"

"The young master has gone to the academy. Sir, shall we prepare a meal for you?"

"No, I'm going to Master."

"Yes."

Zhong Lin was in no mood to eat at this moment. What he wanted most was to get the third-grade Qi-refining technique from his master as soon as possible.

As Zhong Lin walked, the snow under his feet crackled.

Servants were cleaning the snow on the road all along the way. Wherever they passed, everyone stopped what they were doing and bowed.

"Zhong Lin."

A shout came from a distance, and the next moment Mei Weixuan's figure appeared in front of Zhong Lin.

When Zhong Lin saw who was coming, a smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, I knew it. I knew you'd be fine. Zhong Lin, you're amazing. You managed to escape from Wu Jinguang unscathed. It's like a heifer having a difficult birth—so awesome! Tell me how you did it."

Mei Weixuan shouted excitedly.

I thought that even if Zhong Lin didn't die, he would be badly injured when being hunted by Wu Jinguang. After all, a fifth-grade Nei Zhuang realm master facing the pursuit of a third-grade Nei Xi realm expert would have no chance of escape at all. The gap between the two was too big.

However, Mei Weixuan also heard that Zhong Lin seemed to have taken Wu Jinguang's things, which was why he was hunted by him. He thought that even if Zhong Lin was caught, his life would not be in danger, so he quickly sent a pigeon to ask his father to come to the rescue.

But he didn't expect to learn from his father that Zhong Lin was actually fine and had escaped back on his own. As for Wu Jinguang, he turned into a pool of blood and flesh outside the city gate.

"Luck, luck."

"Bullshit luck! You're not telling me the truth. I heard from my dad that Wu Jinguang chased you for a whole day and a whole night. This shouldn't be possible. How did you do it?" Mei Weixuan's face was full of curiosity.

"Master taught me a secret method, and I also brought enough medicinal pills with me before leaving. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it to Tianyang City, let alone wait for Master."

"I see. I'm glad you're alright. I'm glad you're alright. Let's go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and celebrate for you."

After saying that, he pulled Zhong Lin out, but he stumbled and couldn't pull him forward.

"Not today. I have some matters to take care of with my master." Zhong Lin explained.

"I'll go with you. No matter what I say today, you have to go out with me. It's my treat."

Mei Weixuan shouted loudly.

A smile appeared on Zhong Lin's lips. He knew that Mei Weixuan did this just to express his apology. It was obvious that he blamed himself for being hunted by Wu Jinguang. After all, if Mei Weixuan hadn't forced him to travel around, he wouldn't have been stopped by Wu Jinguang.

Even if there were guards following them, Wu Jinguang could easily kill them with his strength, so it would be of no use at all.

"it is good."

Zhong Lin agreed with a smile.

The snow in Master's yard was not cleared. After the snow, snowflakes fell, landing on the branches of pine and cypress trees, and on the roof of the wooden house, shrouded in clouds and mist, hazy and deep.

In the pavilion in the courtyard, Gu Yourong was kneeling and cooking wine. His master Yin Daoyan was leisurely admiring the snowy scenery around him and the wintersweet in front of him.

A world of glass, white snow and red plum blossoms.

"Master." "Greetings to Master Yin."

Yin Daoyan glanced at the dusty Mei Weixuan and said with a smile, "You little naughty monkey are back too. You've completed your internal organs training. Not bad, you didn't slack off."

Mei Weixuan scratched his head and said, "Thank you, Master Yin, for the compliment. I also got some good luck, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to complete the internal organ refining so quickly."

"No matter what the opportunity is, it is your own achievement. I promised you that once you have completed your internal organs training, I will let you join the Jian Ding Sect. After some time, come back with me to the sect!"

Mei Weixuan's face was filled with ecstasy, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Thank you, Master Yin. Thank you, Master Yin."

"Get up! My path is not suitable for you. Taking you as my disciple would be a waste of your talent. Once you reach Jian Ding Sect, your future achievements will depend on you."

Yin Daoyan waved his hand, and an invisible force of energy helped Mei Weixuan up, with a smile on his face.

Zhong Lin also smiled and bowed, saying, "Congratulations, you finally got what you wanted. From now on, we will be brothers."

Mei Weixuan's face was as bright as a chrysanthemum, and he put his hands on his hips and said in a condescending manner, "Why don't you call me Senior Brother?"

Gu Yourong, who was kneeling beside him and cooking wine, looked at Mei Weixuan's behavior and rolled his eyes at him with an expression that said, "I knew it."

Zhong Lin raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "It's not that easy to become my senior brother. At least your cultivation must be higher than mine!"

"Tsk, your cultivation speed is amazing! The middle third level is all about the accumulation of Qi and blood. If you're capable, let's see who can reach the upper third level first. The upper third level can't be achieved by speed alone. Opportunity and understanding are both essential. How about whoever cultivates Qi first becomes the senior brother?"

Mei Weixuan shouted, his face full of confidence.

Zhong Lin’s cultivation speed is indeed fast, but speed also means that his foundation is unstable. How can he compare with himself?

"A gentleman's word?"

Zhong Lin said with a smile.

"Hurry up and whip your horse."

The two of them high-fived each other and made a gentleman's agreement.

Zhong Lin suddenly turned around and bowed to Yin Daoyan, saying in a deep voice, "Master, I am glad that I have fulfilled my mission."

Yin Daoyan, who was originally relaxed, was shocked when he heard the words, and his eyes were shining with brilliance.

His body moved, and he appeared beside Zhong Lin as if teleporting, and grabbed his wrist with his right hand. Then a stream of internal energy like a river wave poured into his body. Zhong Lin's hair-like internal energy was like duckweed in the water in front of this power.

"Good, good, good. Your Qi and blood are full, and your Dan Qi is growing. It is indeed your internal Qi. Your master was not wrong about you."

Yin Daoyan roared to the sky, not trying to hide his excitement. The snow in the courtyard was flying everywhere in the roar.

Gu Yourong stood up slowly, his burning gaze seemed to want to melt Zhong Lin.

"Junior brother, congratulations on condensing your inner energy and entering the upper third level."

Zhong Linye returned the greeting with a smile: "Thank you, Senior Sister."

Snapped!
Mei Weixuan slapped himself on the face and muttered, "I'm dreaming. I must be dreaming. I actually dreamed that Zhong Lin cultivated his inner energy and became a third-grade warrior."

Mei Weixuan looked Zhong Lin up and down, a ferocious look suddenly appearing on his face. He grabbed Zhong Lin's shirt from his chest and said through gritted teeth, "You must be dreaming, right? We both practiced internal energy together to achieve perfection, but it's only been three days, and you haven't even reached the fourth level of divine power. How could you possibly cultivate internal energy?"

Zhong Lin smiled as he pried open Mei Weixuan's fingers and smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes.

"I am a genius."
