Chapter 123 Sect Master
"Which one is Zhong Lin?"

Sect leader Yu Jinglei looked at the two people behind Yin Daoyan with a smile on his face.

Having said that, his eyes remained on Zhong Lin.

Yin Daoyan waved his long sleeves and pointed at Zhong Lin proudly, saying, "Master, this is my new disciple, Zhong Lin. Come and pay your respects to the Master."

Zhong Lin did not dare to be negligent. He took a step forward and bowed deeply.

"Disciple Zhong Lin, I pay my respects to the Sect Master."

Sect Master Yu Jinglei's eyes flashed with a strange gleam. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Third-level Inner Breathing Realm? Elder Yin, I remember you told me that you accepted Zhong Lin as your disciple only a few months ago. Could it be that he came with his skills?"

"No."

Yin Daoyan explained, "Zhong Lin was originally a hunter in Heishan County under Tianyang Commandery. He later became a painter in the county yamen, and it was from there that he learned the martial arts stage technique. When I accepted him as my disciple, he was only at the initial stage of refining his Qi and blood. A month ago, he completed his internal organs training. By chance, he obtained a Tianyin Yuanzhu, which I refined into a marrow-changing and blood-changing pill. With the help of this pill, he was able to comprehend Qi and achieve the third-grade inner breath realm."

Yu Jinglei was slightly startled, then said in surprise, "With just one marrow-changing blood-changing pill, he was able to comprehend the Qi and achieve the third-grade internal energy?"

"good."

"I remember you sent a message saying that Zhong Lin is a third-grade alchemist?"

"That's right." Yin Daoyan said proudly, "Zhong Lin is exceptionally gifted. He is naturally gifted in martial arts training, and even in the art of alchemy, he possesses a talent that others cannot match. Moreover, he is only seventeen years old this year."

If Yu Jinglei had been able to hold back his surprise when he first heard that Zhong Lin had cultivated his inner energy and become a top-three warrior, he could no longer conceal his surprise and emotion at this moment.

"Seventeen... a third-rank warrior and a third-rank alchemist."

There was a glint in Yu Jinglei's eyes and a gentle smile on his face.

"Elder Yin, you have accepted a good disciple!"

Zhong Lin stood aside with his head down and remained silent. The more Yin Daoyan praised him, the more humble he became, not daring to show the slightest bit of arrogance.

"Master, you are too kind. This is all thanks to Master. If it weren't for Master's keen eye for talent, I would probably still be an unknown painter in the Heishan County Government." Zhong Lin said respectfully.

"You have a keen eye for recognizing a gem. First of all, you must be a gem. You have achieved such success at such a young age. Even I was not as good as you back then."

Yu Jinglei said with deep emotion, "Now that you have cultivated your inner energy, you should be a true disciple of Jian Ding Sect and be qualified to compete for the position of Sect Master. I hope you will continue to make great strides and reach new heights in the martial arts."

"Yes, disciple dare not slack off."

A smile appeared on Yin Daoyan's lips. He knew that since the sect leader had spoken, Zhong Lin's position as a true disciple was a foregone conclusion.

In fact, any sect that encounters such a martial arts genius will not refuse unless they are an idiot.

Mei Weixuan, who had been silent all the time, held Yin Daoyan with an anxious and expectant look, and kept blinking at Yin Daoyan.

Yin Daoyan also reacted at this time: "Master, this is Mei Weixuan. He has a kind nature and good martial arts skills. I wonder if he is qualified to join our Jianding Sect?"

"Since Elder Yin said so, of course it's possible. You go and arrange it!" Yu Jinglei said casually.

"Thank you, Master."

Mei Weixuan also fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowed deeply, and said, "Disciple Mei Weixuan, I pay my respects to the Sect Master." "Elder Yin, please take them to receive their disciple tokens! The Transmission Pavilion can also be opened to them to select martial arts techniques. Zhong Lin can advance to the fifth floor."

As he spoke, Yu Jinglei waved his right hand, and a golden token fell into Yin Daoyan's hand:
Yin Daoyan looked down at it, his face filled with joy, and said excitedly, "Thank you, Sect Master."

"Go!"

"Yes."

The three of them did not stay any longer and slowly left the courtyard.

It was not until they walked away that Zhong Lin asked curiously.

"Master, is there anything different about the fifth floor of the Transmission Pavilion?"

Yin Daoyan nodded and said, "The Transmission Pavilion is the foundation of our Jian Ding Sect. Within it are various martial arts techniques created by the sect elders over the past thousand years, as well as various secret elixir recipes. They are extremely precious. Even if the Jian Ding Sect perishes, as long as the Transmission Pavilion exists, it will revive sooner or later."

Zhong Lin nodded. "Inheritance! Got it."

"Layers one through four contain manuals on body building, blood coagulation, and Qi refining, along with their corresponding martial arts, secret techniques, and elixir recipes. But you know that even these techniques are divided into different levels."

"I know this."

Mei Weixuan finally had a chance to speak and raised his hand to indicate his presence.

"Just like the Black Tiger Fist, a third-grade body-building technique widely circulated in the martial arts world, and the secret body-building techniques passed down by the major aristocratic families and sects, although they all involve body-building, the speed of practice, the depth and breadth of tempering, weaknesses, and even the formulas for body-building are vastly different."

"The gap isn't that big at the lower three levels, but as you advance, especially at the upper three levels of Qi training, the gap becomes more pronounced. A good Qi training method can save a person decades of hard training. Not only does it speed up Qi training, but it also makes a world of difference in the quality of internal energy."

Zhong Lin instantly remembered the "Golden Muscle and Jade Bone Kung Fu" that he had practiced. This was a skill that could involve the bone marrow at the lower three levels. Although he had only dabbled in it, it was enough to show its extraordinaryness.

Yin Daoyan nodded and said, "Wei Xuan is right, Zhong Lin. If the 'Xuan Xin Jue' you practiced were to be released to the outside world, who knows what kind of bloody storm would it cause. The fifth floor of the Transmission Pavilion houses a higher-level Qi Refining Method. The 'Lie Yang Xin Jing' practiced by Elder Lianshan originated from this. The internal energy cultivated by this method is extremely yang and strong, and is filled with fire. It has a great enhancing effect on alchemy. Therefore, no one can enter the fifth floor unless the sect master has special permission. Now you understand its value!"

Zhong Lin's eyes lit up. The previous battle with Elder Lianshan had made him feel the power of that internal energy. Just the exposed aura required him to divert some of his strength to resist. If it weren't for the fact that Elder Lianshan was not good at fighting, he could easily suppress him with his internal energy alone.

"Master, can the grades of martial arts be divided into specific categories?" Zhong Lin asked.

"Yes, people call this kind of skills Tianpin. Most of those below Tianpin are classified as upper, middle and lower. The Xuanxin Jue is a middle-grade skill."

"Our Mei family's "Falling Plum Blossoms" is also a mid-grade martial art." Mei Weixuan interjected.

Heavenly Grade Technique...

"Zhong Lin, you are a genius, and you are also gifted in alchemy. The sect leader takes pity on your qualifications, so he allows you to enter the fifth floor of the Transmission Pavilion. After you enter, you must choose carefully and don't be careless." Yin Daoyan reminded.

"The disciple understands."

As they were talking, the three of them were willing to come to the Transmission Pavilion.

The Chuangong Pavilion is located on the back mountain of the main peak, surrounded by cliffs, with only an iron chain bridge across the void.
