Shi Lin is not a qualified salesman.
Regarding the Thousand Miles Teleportation in Shi Lin's hands, several disciples of the Xuantian Sect only showed a hint of curiosity at first.
However, after knowing that this Thousand Miles Teleportation was "only" used for long-distance communication, several people suddenly lost interest.
In the world of monasticism, before Ye Zan developed the Thousand-mile Voice Transmission and Thousand-mile Telecommunication of Spirits, the monastics were not completely incapable of long-distance communication.
Things like paper crane messaging, flying sword messaging, jade talisman warnings, etc., can all meet the monks' long-distance communication needs to a certain extent.
What's more, Xuantian Sect has sealed the mountain for tens of thousands of years. Even if there is a secret realm or a small world, "backward" long-distance communication methods are enough.
Therefore, the long-distance communication function that can travel thousands of miles is really unattractive to a few people in Xuantian Sect.
Faced with such a "misunderstanding", Shi Lin did not explain anything, and did not introduce the many benefits of Thousand Miles Teleportation to a few people.
The only thing Shi Lin did was to turn off the image projected in mid-air in front of him, and silently put away Qianli Chuanshen.
Several disciples of Xuantian Sect originally planned to take a closer look at what was written in the projection, but they were not serious enough to see it.
Therefore, when they saw that Shi Lin turned off the projection and put away Qianli Zhenshen, although these people were somewhat dissatisfied, they did not have to worry about anything.
"Guys, please follow me up the mountain!" The leader of the Xuantian Sect said hello to Wen Tongji in a deep voice, and then walked up the mountain.
Wen Tongji responded, but did not follow immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Shi Lin and said with a friendly smile on his face: "Fellow Daoist Lin, shall we come together?"
Wen Tongji was not stupid. After seeing the attitudes of Xuantian Sect members, he no longer had any confidence in his identity as a "gatekeeper".
In fact, Xuantian Sect's attitude towards the "gatekeepers" is not so incomprehensible.
Who knows whether this "gatekeeper" is a descendant of one of his own who was originally arranged by the Xuantian Sect, or whether he obtained his mother-in-law Jin Chan through some other means
Therefore, for the credit of "opening the door", Xuantian Sect may give you three melons and two dates, or it may "mercy" include you on the door wall.
After making such a design and risking his life to enter the forbidden area, Wen Tongji wanted more than just this.
Therefore, Wen Tongji hoped to be "bound" with Shi Lin and others to increase his weight when facing the Xuantian Sect.
After seeing the strength of Shi Lin and Ye Linglong, even though Wen Tongji didn't know exactly what the background of this group of people was, he could basically guess that their background was not small.
Speaking of hugging the thigh, of course it is not enough.
After all, Wen Tongji had plotted against others in this matter.
Others were not calculated because they had strength and luck. It does not mean that Wen Tongji's "crimes" can also be ignored.
Wen Tongji also knew in his heart that even if he really hugged Shi Lin and others' thighs, he would most likely be kicked away.
Therefore, Wen Tongji was playing a trick again, but the main purpose was actually to make the people of Xuantian Sect feel that the people on his side were all in the same group.
Of course, Shi Lin was not ignorant of the world, so how could he not see Wen Tongji's little thoughts.
"Haha, please, Fellow Daoist Wen!" Shi Lin responded with a smile, but did not challenge Wen Tongji's thoughts.
Although, Shi Lin definitely had a grudge against Wen Tongji's previous calculations, and even wanted to settle the score.
However, when facing a Xuantian Sect that we don’t understand well, we might as well put some things aside for a while.
Although Shi Lin's response did not clearly express any attitude, it was a reassurance for Wen Tongji.
Under the guidance of several disciples of Xuantian Sect, Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others walked up the stone steps towards the mountain.
The winding stone steps lead to the mountain in twists and turns, and the scenery on the roadside is nothing surprising, just wild flowers, green trees, mountain streams, strange rocks, etc.
The group of people walked halfway up the mountain and stepped into the mountain gate of true consciousness, which could be regarded as truly stepping into the Xuantian Sect's dojo.
Entering from the gate, there is a relatively open "square". At this time, there are a few people who are obviously still practicing Qi, practicing "huhahaha" in it.
There are actually disciples in the Qi Refining Realm!
This shows that during the period when the Xuantian Sect was in seclusion and closed to the mountains, it was obvious that it was still cultivating new people.
This is not surprising, after all, when they first closed the mountain, they thought that one day they would reopen the mountain gate.
If, during these tens of thousands of years, Xuantian Sect does not train new people.
By the time the gate of the mountain is reopened, those disciples below the Yuan Shen level will have long since died of old age. Should we let the Dharma and Heavenly Realm masters teach their disciples how to refine their Qi
It’s not that it can’t be done.
But this is definitely not the only reason for “training new people.”
After all, this seclusion does not suspend the time of the entire sect, so some things should be done as usual.
Of course, the number of Xuantian Sect's disciples seems a bit pitiful.
Even back then, when the Yuqing Sect was still a third-rate sect, the number of Qi Refining Realm disciples far exceeded that of the Xuantian Sect in front of them.
The leader of the Xuantian sect, probably in order to protect the face of his sect, specifically explained to Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others: "It made several fellow Taoists laugh! After my sect sealed the mountain and secluded it, in order to To maintain the inheritance of Taoism, we have to raise the threshold for teaching and teaching disciples. Therefore, the number of disciples of this sect may not be comparable to those of other sects.”
"Well, these disciples of Guizong can indeed be called dragons and phoenixes among people." Wen Tongji quickly flattered, not caring about face at all in order to gain some favor from Xuantian Sect.
But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these Qi Refining disciples who are studying hard are far from being called "geniuses".
Perhaps, it is still because of the closed mountain and seclusion. Regardless of whether Xuantian Sect has a secret realm or a small world, it still cannot compare with the "big world" in terms of talents.
No matter the secret realm or the small world, they cannot compare to the "big world" in terms of avenues.
Therefore, no matter how hard you try to "take over the fortunes of heaven and earth", a weak foundation will always be a weak foundation.
At this time, the few disciples who were practicing also noticed the arrival of everyone, so they stopped to say hello to several Jindan masters of the sect.
"Okay, no need to be polite, just continue practicing!" The leader of the Xuantian Sect disciple waved his hand and said to the disciples in the sect, without any intention of introducing the disciples behind him.
No matter what, they are just a few Qi Refining Realm disciples, and they are not qualified to know what happened today.
The group passed through the "square" and walked up the mountain for a while, from the "outer gate" to the "inner gate", and finally arrived in front of the main hall in the center of Xuantian Sect's dojo.
Everyone coming here, judging from the architecture of the dojo, Xuantian Sect should have been a top-notch sect back then.
But now, the feeling given to people here is that it is extremely deserted and desolate.
There are not many disciples in the Qi Refining Realm, and even less disciples in the Foundation Establishment Realm. The Golden Pill Grandmaster seems to be the only one who leads the way.
Therefore, nothing in the world is perfect.
In order to avoid disaster, the Xuantian Sect had to close the sect for tens of thousands of years. How could they not pay some price
"The headmaster and elders of our sect are waiting for you in the hall. Please follow me!" The leader of the Xuantian Sect said hello to Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others without any special intention. After going in to report, he led the people into the hall.
The headmaster and elders of the Xuantian Sect received Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others in the main hall. They obviously valued them very much.
This is normal. Not to mention "gatekeepers", if people from Xuantian Sect want to know about the outside world, they must ask Wen Tongji and others.
If, just because of showing off to Wen Tongji and others, we get any wrong information, it will definitely not be a good thing for Xuantian Sect.
Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others were led into the main hall gate of Xuantian Sect.
I saw six old men already waiting inside this hall.
The person who led the way has already said that the headmaster and elders of Xuantian Sect will receive Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others in this hall.
Then, the identities of these six old men are obvious.
However, what surprised Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others was that the headmaster and several elders of Xuantian Sect were only at the Nascent Soul realm.
Wen Tongji is only in the Golden Core realm and may not be able to see the specific realms of the Xuantian Sect's top brass, but it is not difficult for Shi Lin to see this.
Moreover, just because Wen Tongji can't "see" it doesn't mean that there is no other way to feel it.
The simplest thing is that you can't see his cultivation, but you can't feel the horrible oppression.
Then, the opponent's realm strength, at 80%, wouldn't be much better than mine.
Wen Tongji failed to use this method to deduce the realm strength of Shi Lin and others because none of them were orthodox practitioners.
As for the kind of power that is so powerful that it "returns to nature" and looks completely like a mortal, it is actually possible to speculate.
If you see a mortal standing in a position that a mortal should not stand in, there is a high chance that this mortal is not a mortal.
It is only the simplest and most elementary method to judge a target's approximate state of cultivation through mana fluctuations.
"Report to the Headmaster, we have brought the person who can break the formation!" The leader of the Xuantian Sect stepped forward to salute the Headmaster and replied.
As for the leader, several other members of the Xuantian Sect who were welcoming Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others were waiting outside the main hall gate.
Moreover, those few people are not completely idle. They also have to take care of Ye Linglong's giant panda mount Tai Chi.
"Well, please step aside!" The headmaster waved his hand, motioning for the disciples to step aside, and focused his attention on Wen Tongji, Shi Lin and others again.
"I am Wen Tongji, a casual cultivator, and I would like to pay my respects to the headmaster of the Xuantian Sect!" Wen Tongji saw the other party looking over and quickly took a step forward, bowed his hands and saluted the headmaster of the Xuantian Sect.
Although, Wen Tongji could see that the headmaster and elders of Xuantian Sect were at the Nascent Soul realm at most.
However, who can guarantee that Xuantian Sect really only has this little strength.
You must know that almost all sects outside have a common habit, that is, most of the people with the highest level of cultivation will not hold the position of head teacher.
The reason is very simple. People who can make extraordinary achievements in spiritual practice naturally have to concentrate on spiritual practice in order to make further progress.
As for holding the position of head teacher, it means that you have to be entangled in trivial matters of all sizes. Generally speaking, it is difficult to concentrate on practice.
For example, when Ye Zan first came to the Jade Qing Sect, Mo Ru, who was in the Nascent Soul realm, was only the elder, and the leader was Wu Changsheng, who was only in the Golden Core realm.
The Wuzhu Sect, the Jinguang Sect, and other sects are basically like this.
Judging from this, Xuantian Sect must be at least an elder with the Yuanshen realm!
Wen Tongji has the Golden Toad in his hands, so he can only raise his strength to the level of Yuanshen. He really doesn't have much confidence to cause trouble in Xuantian Sect.
"Oh, Wen..." After hearing Wen Tongji's self-report, the headmaster of the Xuantian Sect pondered for a moment, and said with some emotion: "So, the branches of our sect that remain outside have finally lost their inheritance."
The words of the headmaster of Xuantian Sect confirmed Wen Tongji's identity and removed the title of "gatekeeper" from Wen Tongji's head.
"Senior, please forgive me for this. The golden toad I have is also passed down from our ancestors. No one really knows what it was like back then." Wen Tongji was a little frightened, and he quickly bowed and saluted to the Xuantian Sect. The headmaster explained.
The branch of Xuantian Sect has lost its inheritance, who knows why! Wen Tongji did not dare to take this responsibility.
However, the leader of the Xuantian Sect had no intention of pursuing the case. He waved his hand and said, "Fellow Taoist, you are serious! How many years have passed, and some things can no longer be investigated. Besides, if the Taoist friend hadn't opened the big formation, where would our sect be?" There is still a chance to reopen the mountain gate!”
"Ah, haha, senior is exaggerating. It's just a chance meeting. I thought I could find a chance, but I didn't expect..." After hearing the words of Xuantian Sect's headmaster, Wen Tongji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and became energetic again. He cheered up.
Moreover, while being modest, Wen Tongji also expressed his needs and made it clear that he just wanted to find an opportunity.
Having said this, if the people of Xuantian Sect are still grateful, they should find a way to satisfy their benefactor's wishes.
Sure enough, seeing Wen Tongji making such a straightforward request, the headmaster of Xuantian Sect became more relaxed and said with a smile: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, our sect has always rewarded those who have made merits. Since you have made contributions to our sect, fellow Taoist , then naturally you will not disappoint fellow Taoist."
"Then I'll thank you, senior!" Wen Tongji also replied with a smile on his face.
Then, the headmaster and elders of Xuantian Sect turned their attention to Shi Lin and others.
"Are these... fellow Taoists with this fellow Taoist Wen?" Xuantian Sect's headmaster asked Shi Lin in a gentle tone.
The reason why he stuttered was because the headmaster of Xuantian Sect saw Ye Linglong among the three people and hesitated for a moment on how to call such a "child".
