In comparison, he had a higher opinion of Lin Jingyu.

Cangsong thought the same thing, which is why he passed the Dragon Slayer Sword to Lin Jingyu. He seemed to see the shadow of Wan Jianyi in Lin Jingyu.

Qi Hao is also good, but his talent is really not as good as Lin Jingyu's.

He's almost a hundred years old and still hasn't broken through to the Upper Clarity Realm.

Therefore, both Dao Xuan and Cang Song felt that Lin Jingyu was more suitable to inherit the position of the chief of Dragon Head Peak.

That's exactly how Cangsong trained Lin Jingyu.

Lin Jingyu was truly a person who hated evil as if it were his enemy.

Of course, it is also related to his experiences in his youth.

Like Lu Xueqi, he defeated his opponent in a very decisive and efficient manner.

Tian Ling'er quickly achieved victory thanks to her Amber Crimson Silk.

This was the first time Wu Xingyun had witnessed cultivators engaging in large-scale martial arts competitions, using spells and magical artifacts to fight each other.

If it were a battle between people of the same level, she felt that even if the disciples of Qingyun Sect were at the sixth level of Yuqing Realm, they would not be a match for martial arts masters like Huang Rong.

However, this is understandable, since most Taoist practitioners cultivate for longevity rather than for fighting and violence.

Martial artists are different. Someone like Lin Zhu can use every protruding part of his body as a weapon when necessary.

This is why Dao Xuan was quite polite to Wu Xingyun after learning that she was a martial arts primordial spirit, and it wasn't just because of Huo Ling'er.

In fact, Wu Xingyun also really wanted to spar with these leaders of the Qingyun Sect.

After all the disciples finished their duels, she looked at Tian Buyi, who was the strongest among the six chief disciples.

But Tian Buyi deliberately avoided looking at her. 'To fight a martial arts master? Am I crazy?'

Unless you're a sword cultivator like Wan Jianyi.

Most of the disciples of Qingyun Sect possess spirit swords as their natal magic weapons, but there is only one true sword cultivator, Wan Jianyi. In the future, Lin Jingyu should be added as well.

After the duel ended, Tian Buyi approached Lin Zhu and Wu Xingyun and invited them, "Fellow Daoists, I would like to invite you to sit on Dazhu Peak. What do you think?"

"Tian Buyi, you're too late. Fellow Daoist Wu has already promised to let me visit Xiaozhu Peak." Shuiyue's voice was cold.

Wu Xingyun smiled apologetically at Tian Buyi, and then said, "My little bamboo can go and sit with you, Chief Tian."

"Haha, that would be perfect."

Tian Buyi was also quite intimidated by Wu Xingyun, fearing that she would challenge him to a duel.

Although Wu Xingyun is small, he looks like someone not to be trifled with.

However, standing next to Shuiyue, they actually look quite harmonious.

Dao Xuan stroked his beard and smiled, saying nothing.

Cangsong, however, snorted coldly in his heart.

After everyone dispersed, Lin Zhu also parted ways with Wu Xingyun, picked up Da Tuanzi, and followed Tian Buyi to the dormitory where Da Zhufeng was located.

Wu Xingyun went to Xiaozhufeng's dormitory with Shuiyue; she was quite interested in Lu Xueqi.

As a man, Lin Zhu could not go to Xiaozhu Peak.

Shuiyue didn't invite him either, mainly because she was afraid he might unwittingly seduce the disciples of Xiaozhu Peak.

Especially Lu Xueqi.

Like Tian Buyi, he wasn't afraid that his daughter would be attracted to Lin Zhu, which was better than letting that centenarian from Longshou Peak benefit from it.

On the way back to the dormitory at Dazhu Peak on his sword, Tian Buyi said to Lin Zhu, "Young friend Lin, you seem to be a year younger than my Ling'er."

"I think so, I'm seventeen this year."

Lin Zhu didn't give a definite answer, after all, he didn't know how old Tian Ling'er was.

Tian Buyi smiled broadly, becoming more and more satisfied with Lin Zhu, especially when he confronted Cang Song head-on, which greatly embarrassed Cang Song.

In the first round, if Lin Zhu hadn't held back, Cangsong would have been defeated long ago.

How could a cultivator allow a martial artist to get close? If he doesn't lose, who will?

Even if Cangsong had actually used the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique, Tian Buyi felt that the outcome might not have been clear.

Even pine trees have a competitive spirit.

Along the way, Tian Buyi introduced all his apprentices to Lin Zhu, saying, "If my seventh son is half as good as you, no, even a tenth as good, I'll be satisfied."

As the two were talking, they landed in the dormitory courtyard.

By this time, it had already gotten dark.

The group from Dazhufeng had just finished dinner.

Seeing their master leading someone back, they hurriedly came out to greet him.

Tian Buyi slapped his forehead. He had forgotten that, due to the shortage of housing, Su Ru and Tian Ling'er were staying in the dormitory at Xiaozhu Peak.

With a sigh, he thought to himself, 'It seems I've brought back my young friend Lin in vain!'

Despite his thoughts, he still introduced Lin Zhu to his disciples, saying, "Come and greet my young friend."

Lin Zhu was the first to greet them, saying, "I am Lin Zhu, and I greet all fellow Daoists."

"I dare not! Song Daren (Wu Dayi... Zhang Xiaofan) greets Fellow Daoist Lin."

Song Daren's voice was the most steady, Du Bishu's voice was the loudest, and Zhang Xiaofan's voice was the softest.

This time, only Song Daren, Tian Ling'er and Zhang Xiaofan from Dazhu Peak made it into the top 32. Zhang Xiaofan even got in by luck, which made him very angry.

But because Lin Zhu was there, he couldn't vent his anger.

Lin Zhu looked at Zhang Xiaofan. He was indeed ordinary-looking. It wasn't that he was bad-looking, but he was just average-looking.

After all, they are cultivators, so they have very few flaws in their appearance.

In Lin Zhu's opinion, his strength was quite good, the fourth level of Jade Purity, which is equivalent to the strength of a Grandmaster, that is, the Foundation Establishment stage.

Zhang Xiaofan seemed somewhat uneasy as Lin Zhu scrutinized him.

Seeing his behavior, Tian Buyi was furious.

Why can't a grown man be more open and honest?

Fortunately, Song Daren came to the rescue, asking with a smile, "I wonder why Fellow Daoist Lin looks at our junior brother like that?"

Lin Zhu said with a smile, "I see the shadow of a friend in this Fellow Daoist Zhang."

"Oh, I wonder which friend this is?" Tian Buyi became interested, thinking that since Lin Zhu was such a genius, his friend must be no less so.

Chapter 418 Guiding Song Daren

Lin Zhu shook his head. "He is not from this realm, but like this Fellow Daoist Zhang, he has a pure heart and a simple nature. He will surely achieve great things in the future."

This was the first time Zhang Xiaofan had heard someone praise him like this. He couldn't help but look at Lin Zhu, feeling very touched, and then blushed and lowered his head.

It wasn't that she was shy because she saw Lin Zhu, but because she was praised. 'Am I really like that?'

Similarly, this was the first time Tian Buyi had heard anyone praise his young apprentice. 'Why can't I see any talent in Lao Qi? However, he certainly has a pure and innocent heart.'

"Young friend Lin, you flatter me."

He was still very happy when his own disciples were praised.

"This junior would not dare to speak presumptuously in front of a senior. By the way, is Fellow Daoist Zhang skilled in cooking? My friend is quite adept at it."

Lin Zhu asked knowingly.

Du Bishu couldn't help but slap his thigh. "What a coincidence! Xiao Fan has a great talent for cooking. He's the head chef of our Dazhu Peak now."

Tian Buyi couldn't help but pluck a hair from his beard. 'Could it be that I really misjudged him?'

He carefully examined Zhang Xiaofan. "Hey, Seventh Brother, you've reached the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm?"

"Yes, Master." Zhang Xiaofan replied somewhat nervously.

"This isn't right. You only reached the third level of Jade Purity a month ago, how come you've broken through again now? Also, who taught you the fourth level of Jade Purity?"

Tian Buyi's tone became somewhat stern.

Song Daren said, "Master, have you forgotten? It was you who asked me to give full authority over Junior Brother. I never expected that Xiao Fan could break through another realm within a month."

A month ago, Tian Ling'er had already spoken with Song Daren. She truly treated Zhang Xiaofan like a younger brother, and she even taught him the incantations for the later parts of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao.

"But it's really strange that he broke through a realm in just one month."

Tian Buyi still couldn't understand, and carefully examined Zhang Xiaofan.

Lin Zhu noticed the Soul-Devouring Staff in Zhang Xiaofan's hand, which must be its function; otherwise, even if Zhang Xiaofan had reached a certain level, his skill level would not have met the standard.

“Senior, I observe that Fellow Daoist Zhang’s vital energy is contained within his body, which must be due to the accumulation of great strength before it is unleashed.”

Lin Zhu offered a reminder from the side.

Tian Buyi then realized that Lin Zhu was an outsider and it was not appropriate for him to criticize his seventh son.

But he seemed to have thought of something as well.

When he was young, he was not particularly outstanding among his fellow disciples, and he seemed to see his own reflection in his disciples.

His gaze softened considerably.

Zhang Xiaofan was quite sensitive to emotions, and his gaze involuntarily met Tian Buyi's, where he saw that kind look in his eyes.

He could actually feel the care and concern Tian Buyi showed him.

"Him?" Tian Buyi was satisfied, but said with disdain, "I'm glad my disciple didn't make you laugh, young friend Lin. By the way, may I ask what cultivation level your friend is at now? And how old is he?"

"Him? He's only twenty years old and at the Core Formation stage. He should be able to reach the Golden Core stage soon."

Lin Zhu thought of Brother Gou. Even without deliberate cultivation, the true essence in his body would continue to increase. It was as if God was feeding him.

Not only is he quick to understand, but he also has a special physique.

It means having an indifferent attitude towards martial arts training, a mindset of "train if you can, it doesn't matter if you can't".

Perhaps it was because of this state of mind of non-action that he was able to get closer to heaven and earth.
