Sword Sect Outer Sect

Chapter 83 The Taoist Li Jun
These past few days, Lin Qing has been riding high.

Some time ago, I finally obtained the treasure left behind by a Foundation Establishment cultivator that I had been planning for many days. After returning to the sect, I participated in the Heart Refining Path and was promoted to Inner Sect.

Having been given a second chance at life, many things that I couldn't do before due to my identity can finally be put on the agenda.

With the support of numerous cultivation resources, his cultivation level is gradually approaching the ninth level of Qi Refining.

If we're lucky, we might have a chance to break through this year.

"No matter what the ultimate fate of the Dongyuan Sect is, there are several great opportunities within the inner sect that we must seize no matter what."

He secretly calculated in his mind: "The sect competition will be one of them..."

"If the situation remains unchanged, an elder will soon announce that the restrictions on inner and outer sect disciples will be lifted for this year's Sword Testing Tournament..."

"The rewards are extraordinary, and if you can win a prize, you can even participate in the Dragon Pool Mountain Nine Veins Grand Competition."

"The second is that, several years later, the Daoist's former residence appeared in Junping Prefecture at the border between the Central Region and the Chu Kingdom."

I'm going to attend the Beiyashan Flower Festival in a few days; I've heard of it in my past life.

I imagine it's just a casual visit, and I won't gain anything substantial.

"..."

"However... these all require careful consideration."

"Right now, a great opportunity is presented to us!"

Inside the mission hall, Lin Qing's eyes flashed as he carefully examined each mission and commission floating above it.

"Pear blossom wine..."

"..."

He kept searching for words related to wine and pear blossoms.

past life.

In the Dongyuan Sect, there once circulated a remarkable event that amazed everyone.

An inner disciple received a very strange request.

The requirement is to retrieve three jars of pear blossom wine from a tavern in Feng'an County and bring them back to the sect.

The person who issued the commission was named "Qingrou".

The reward for the commission is only twenty spirit stones.

Logically speaking, that's normal.

Perhaps this is a fellow disciple in the sect who enjoys drinking and wants to taste the wine from his hometown, but has important sect duties to attend to and cannot go in person, hence this request.

Twenty spirit stones is actually a lot for just running an errand.

However, it's unclear whether the poster is unfamiliar with the "contracting" industry.

For cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, those in the inner sect are already in the late Qi Refining stage, and there are many ways to earn spirit stones without leaving the sect.

Feng'an County is actually quite far from the sect.

Below the Foundation Establishment Realm, it is difficult to fly on a sword, which takes a considerable amount of time.

Why would an inner sect cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage or above make a special trip just for twenty spirit stones?

If this task were placed in the Outer Gate Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, it would probably be fiercely contested.

The inner disciple who accepted the mission in his previous life was originally from Feng'an, and because he had been in seclusion in the sect for the past few days of the New Year, he did not return home.

Now, on the second day of the second lunar month, the day the dragon raises its head, I accepted this strange commission to return to my hometown to visit relatives and, incidentally, buy some wine to earn some spirit stones.

Who could have imagined such a strange mission?

The poster, "Qingrou," was none other than the Golden Core expert and sect leader, Daoist Lijun.

So, when your luck is on your side, anyone can have a "chance".

Later, the news was leaked from somewhere, and even the signboard and exact location of the tavern became the talk of the sect.

All because of such a simple task, aside from the twenty low-grade spirit stones specified in the commission...

There is also a protective sword talisman personally sealed by Daoist Li Jun.

Others may not know the extent of Li Jun Dao Ren's cultivation, but Lin Qingzhong, having lived a lifetime, surely knows.

Ordinary Golden Core Realm?

how is this possible.

The great perfection of the Golden Elixir Realm!

Half-step Nascent Soul realm!

It's just that he, the Daoist Master, doesn't like to move around; otherwise, wouldn't the State of Chu be able to do whatever it wants?
The value of a protective sword talisman personally crafted by such a powerful being is immeasurable.

Leaving aside other matters, let's just talk about the day the Xuan Yuan Sect came to cause trouble.

With a casual flick of his sword, he cleaved through the clouds and parted the river, obscuring the sky and the sun.

The sword energy within the protective sword talisman is no less powerful than that sword strike.

Thinking of this, Lin Qing's gaze became even more fervent.

This is truly a great opportunity!
suddenly!

His gaze sharpened, and he finally located the commission that was almost hidden in a corner.

Having made preparations in advance, he had already visited that tavern and bought three jars of pear blossom wine during one of his previous trips outside the sect.

In the mundane world, it is indeed a very famous tavern.

The signboard has been passed down from generation to generation.

Especially the pear blossom wine, which has a lingering aroma and a sweet taste, and is much less astringent than other wines.

The shopkeeper tells everyone he meets that even celestial maidens from heaven have praised the wine as delicious.

At this moment, the three jars of pear blossom wine are stored in his Qiankun bag.

After accepting the commission, Lin Qing immediately left the mission hall and headed towards the handover location mentioned in the commission.

After bypassing Dragon Head Peak, he arrived at the edge of a secluded valley.

However, a thin mist shrouded the valley, and Lin Qing could easily tell that it was a protective maze. In his previous life, he had no information about the location of this border crossing.

Lin Qing had no idea what this place in the sect was used for.

All I know is that Daoist Li Jun often comes here.

"Lin Qing from the inner sect has come to complete the entrusted task..."

In an attempt to create the impression that he was "unaware of the facts," he forcibly changed "disciple Lin Qing" to "inner disciple Lin Qing" when introducing himself.

"Fellow……"

hum-

There was no response, but the jade slip slowly flew out of the Qiankun bag, emitting a verdant spiritual light.

It fell into his hands.

"..."

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Qing took a step and entered the valley.

We walked briskly along the valley path.

We arrived at a stone wall.

A young man in white robes was sitting in front of the blue stone tablet.

Lin Qingxin felt a chill.

This is the sect leader of Dongyuan Sect, Daoist Lijun.

Chen Linyuan!
The young man had a warm face and waved to him with a smile: "Come here."

Lin Qing steeled herself and stepped forward.

"This...senior."

Chen Linyuan asked with great interest, "How did you know I was a senior?"

"This junior cannot discern your cultivation level..."

nodded.

He asked, "Where's the wine?"

Lin Qing hurriedly took out three jars of pear blossom wine from his Qiankun bag and carefully placed them in front of the blue stone tombstone.

Chen Linyuan opened one of the jars and gently smelled the aroma of the wine.

"Hmm, as expected of the pear blossom wine from Zuixianju, it's no different from what it was many years ago."

He filled the two empty bowls under the pear tree.

"Actually, I have tried brewing myself, but I have never been able to get the hang of it and I can't make it taste the same."

"In this respect, I'm even inferior to ordinary people, haha..."

He muttered a few words to himself, seemingly to no one.

"Here, these are twenty spirit stones."

Immediately, a small bag of spirit stones was tossed over from a distance.

Lin Qing caught it with both hands.

"..."

After a moment, Chen Linyuan asked, "What is the state of that old alleyway at Feng'an Zuixianju now?"

Lin Qing didn't actually pay much attention to the scene around her at the time.

However, perhaps out of nostalgia, the senior only gave a rough estimate that was about 80-90% accurate.

"It was the same as always. The other day when I went to buy wine, I happened to be at the market. It was crowded and very lively."

"However, a new magistrate arrived in Feng'an a few days ago, and I heard that some dilapidated old buildings and houses near Zuixianju are going to be demolished."

Lin Qing tried her best to make her speech sound natural and relaxed.

Chen Linyuan nodded, a look of reminiscence appearing in his eyes.

Lin Qing stood quietly by her side.

He awaited the arrival of this powerful being at the peak of the Golden Core realm, who would bestow upon him a precious sword talisman sufficient to ensure his safe passage through the entire Foundation Establishment stage.

"If in this life, the general trend is still irreversible..."

"With this sword talisman, one can leave the Dongyuan Sect, and even leave the Chu Kingdom, to go to the Central Region!"

"The world is so big, where can't we go?"

Thinking of this, Lin Qing felt a surge of excitement.

However, things didn't seem to unfold as he had imagined...

Some are a little different.

Standing before the tombstone, Chen Linyuan suddenly raised his eyes, a sharp, sword-like glint in them.

His expression held a strange curiosity.

"Little friend..."

"What makes you so happy..."

He stared into Lin Qing's astonished eyes, his gaze seemingly able to see right through her.

His mind was shaken, and before he could utter a word in defense, a powerful pressure swept over him.

"You're waiting for me. What do you want to give you?"

Under the profound pressure of those eyes, Lin Qing was horrified to find herself unable to control herself and slowly opening her mouth...
