Chapter 146 Paying Respects to the Master

On the other side, the second senior brother placed the unconscious Lu Lin on the bed, took out a pair of silver needles from his Qiankun bag, and then removed Lu Lin's clothes, revealing his naked body, before beginning to demonstrate.

After locating the acupoints on Lu Lin's body, the second senior brother slowly inserted the silver needles. The originally snow-white needles immediately turned charcoal black, which showed the potency of the poison that Lu Lin had been poisoned with.

It seems the Pavilion Master of Wangyue Pavilion went to great lengths to get revenge on Xiao Liu. This kind of poison is more than enough to kill someone at the seventh level of Qi Refining. It's only because Xiao Liu has a wood spirit root that he's so resilient.

As the second senior brother spoke, he placed silver needles one after another on Lu Lin's acupoints. In a short while, Lu Lin's body was covered with silver needles, making him look like a hedgehog.

Then the second senior brother took out a silver needle, pricked it into Lu Lin's fingertip, and pulled it out. Immediately, a black spurt of blood gushed out from the wound. The second senior brother quickly fetched a jade bottle to catch the blood.

Lu Lin's face gradually turned pale, but it quickly regained its rosy color, indicating that he had been detoxified.

This poison might seem difficult to cure to others, but it posed no threat to Tianhang Mountain. Only after the blood flowing from Lu Lin's fingertips turned from black to red did the second senior brother remove the silver needles from Lu Lin's body one by one.

The second senior brother covered Lu Lin with a blanket.

Seeing that Lu Lin's complexion gradually became rosy and his breathing became steady, the second senior brother turned around and left with peace of mind.

It wasn't until night that Lu Lin slowly woke up from his sleep. He felt sore all over and it took a lot of effort to sit up.

"Don't worry. Although the poison that the Pavilion Master of Wangyue Pavilion gave you has been neutralized, your meridians have been invaded by the toxins, and you are feeling exhausted. Be careful." Lu Lin was surprised to find Shi Jiayi in his room, which aggravated his injuries, causing him to wince in pain.

"What are you doing here, Senior Sister?" Lu Lin sat up, the blanket slipped off her body, revealing her bare chest.

Upon seeing this, Shi Jia took out a piece of clothing from her Qiankun bag and threw it to Lu Lin, then turned her head and said, "Put your clothes on before you talk."

""

"Okay." Lu Lin nodded slightly, enduring the pain as he put on his coat.

Shi Jiayi then turned around and said, "My second senior brother told me that your meridians are extremely fragile right now and you need someone to take care of you. I've had nothing to do lately, so I volunteered to come and help you. How are you feeling? Do you feel dizzy or lightheaded?"

"It's alright, it should be nothing serious, just a little sore all over," Lu Lin said.

Shi Jia was relieved to hear Lu Lin say that. She picked up the lunchbox from the side and placed it on the table. She said to Lu Lin, "If you are not seriously injured, get out of bed and eat. Although you have already broken through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, you are still injured. It is always good to eat some spiritual meat."

"Hmm." Lu Lin got out of bed and sat down at the table.

The food that Shi Jia brought must have been kept warm using some method, as it was still piping hot and tasted excellent, so it probably wasn't cooked by her.

Lu Lin hadn't eaten all day, so he started eating ravenously, quickly devouring all the food on the table.

Shi Jiayi watched Lu Lin wolfing down his food and smiled, saying, "By the way, Master has other plans for you. Please listen to me."

Lu Lin coughed lightly and sat up straight: "Senior sister, please speak freely."

"Based on your performance in this training, your master thinks that your interpersonal skills are acceptable, but your combat ability is far from sufficient, making you vulnerable to being ambushed. Therefore, after you recover from your injuries, I will conduct intensive training to enhance your combat abilities. You need to be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin recalled his experiences and trials along the way.

Within the same realm, his physical skills and magical abilities are among the top tier.

But at this moment, Shi Jia’s “combat experience” clearly did not refer to his physical skills and magic.

"I understand what you mean, Senior Sister. The main problem is that I'm not very familiar with sneak attacks, last-ditch counterattacks, and the techniques of cultivators on special paths. This is indeed a problem in my training process." Lu Lin humbly accepted the advice.

"Also, remember to pay your respects to Master first thing tomorrow morning," Shi Jia reminded him. After saying that, she started to tidy up the things on the table, preparing to leave.

But Lu Lin suddenly realized, "Senior sister, wait! I just got back today and fainted. How did Master know about my training?"

Shi Jia paused in her tidying up of the table: "Your Kunlun has my Ruoshui Seal on it. The Ruoshui Seal can protect you and also let me know exactly what you have experienced, so I have been reporting your experiences to my master."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lin immediately recalled the scene of Du Ling dancing for him. Before his mind could process it, his mouth spoke first, saying, "Let me explain, that female disciple of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion—was not invited by me on my own initiative."

Upon hearing the words "Huan Yin Fang," Shi Jia turned and glanced at Lu Lin: "Why are you explaining this to me? The female disciples of Huan Yin Fang do dance beautifully."

"But I didn't see it," Lu Lin said.

"Okay." Shijia nodded, tidied up the things on the table, put them back into the lunchbox, and turned to leave.

Lu Lin watched Shi Jia leave, then glanced at the table again, where there were still some food scraps.

Lu Lin felt a little relieved. Luckily, he hadn't dared to look up at the time; if he had, he would have been in deep trouble.

the next day.

As dawn broke, Lu Lin got up and came to the courtyard. His master, who always got up very early, immediately smiled when he saw Lu Lin arrive.

"How are you feeling? Have you brought your injuries under control?" the master asked.

Lu Lin nodded: "I'm sorry to have worried you, Master. I'm fine now."

The master nodded in satisfaction, then led Lu Lin to sit beside him and asked, "How was your trip to the Cliff Academy?"

Lu Lin fell into deep thought, and after a moment he replied, "The disciples of the Cliff Academy are all outstanding. Their character is truly amazing. The cultivation environment there is also good, only more competitive and less warm than ours."

"There's also the Cliff Lake at the Cliff Academy, where there are lanterns and singing and dancing every night, which is a great place to relax."

After listening to Lu Lin's introduction, the master laughed heartily: "So, how do you think you compare to the students at Cliff Academy?"

Lu Lin had to answer this question carefully. After a moment's consideration, he gave a humble but confident answer: "If we're at the same level, I think I'm no worse than them."

"Linzi, have you ever fought with them?" Just then, Shen Luo arrived and asked Lu Lin, "Don't tell me you've been out training for so long and haven't fought with those scholars from the Cliff Academy."

Lu Lin was taken aback: "Really not."

Shen Luo raised an eyebrow. It was strange. When he came down the mountain, he was greeted by the punches and kicks of the people from the cultivation world. How come it sounded so harmonious when it came to Lu Lin?

"The people at the Cliff Academy don't like fighting and killing, and they treat me very well. They've even given me a lot of benefits," Lu Lin said to his master.

Upon hearing this, the master said to Shen Luo, "Little Five, did you hear that? This is the difference in experience. You said you went down the mountain, why didn't anyone give you any benefits? Why did you have to resort to robbing?"

Shen Luo's face fell. He shrugged, turned around, and said, "Master, please don't scold me anymore. I'm going to cook."

The master stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

At this moment, Lu Lin took out something from his Qiankun bag and showed it to his master, saying, "Master, this was a gift from the Su family of Ancient Spirit City during my recent training. They said it's a century-old vintage wine. Would you like to try some?"

"Oh?" The master was slightly taken aback when he saw the jar of wine, then smiled and said, "That's thoughtful of you. Just put it here."

"Okay." Lu Lin nodded.
