Chapter 56: On the Road to Refinement
The Road to Refining Heart, a path extended from the Dragon Pond in the Qinglong Palace is the only way to the Dragon Pond. Every few months before the Dragon Pond is opened, the Road to Refining Heart is extremely lively. Because the Dragon Pond is about to open, the Heart Refining Tribulation on the Road to Refining Heart is also at its greatest power.
The disciples of the Qinglong Palace who want to hone their mood will come here and keep moving forward. Because only after walking through the path of refining the heart can they be qualified to enter the Dragon Flowing Pool. Of course, not all the disciples of the Qinglong Palace who have walked through the path of refining the heart are qualified to enter the Dragon Flowing Pool. Every time the Dragon Flowing Pool is opened, there are only ten disciples entering it.
Disciples who have passed the path of refining the heart are eligible to participate in the subsequent competitions, and the top ten in the competition are eligible to enter the Dragon Flowing Pool. Therefore, whenever the Dragon Flowing Pool is opened, it is the time when the top ten masters of the Qinglong Hall are re-ranked. Now, Nalan Xue is ranked ninth in the Qinglong Hall with her previous cultivation level in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.
Jiang Lin, who helped Nalanxue protect the law, originally wanted to live in Qinglong City for a while. However, just as Jiang Lin was about to leave, Nalanxue told Jiang Lin that the road to refine his heart was started. Jiang Lin did not hesitate and gave up his plan to go to Qinglong City.
"You really want to take the path of refining the mind? The path of refining the mind is useless to strong people above the Nascent Soul Stage. Even if the heart-refining tribulation on the path of refining the mind is the most powerful, it is most useful to the early stage of the out-of-body cultivators, or even the middle stage of the out-of-body cultivators."
Nalan Xue was a little surprised to hear that Jiang Lin had to take the Leisure Heart Path. Although he could only enter the Hualong Pool through the Leisure Heart Path, this was just a symbolic rule. Because many powerful disciples do not need to take the Leisure Heart Path at all, they can directly participate in the subsequent competitions, such as Nalan Xue.
After all, some genius disciples are trying to seize the time to practice everything and will not waste time on a small path to refine the heart. Since Jiang Lin took out the Heart Protection Pill, even Nalan Xue still couldn't see through Jiang Lin's cultivation level. However, he has already determined that Jiang Lin's cultivation level is higher than himself, so Nalan Xue was very surprised when she heard that Jiang Lin was going to refine the heart.
"Didn't it mean that you can enter the Dragon Flowing Pool by walking through the Heart Refining Road? I want to go to the Dragon Flowing Pool." Jiang Lin pondered for a moment and gave Nalan Xue an explanation.
"My master has already set your quota within it. Even if it is not set within it, you can participate in the subsequent competition without taking the path of refining your mind. The number one master in the Qinglong Palace is Sun Yun. Three years ago, he was in the mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation and sword cultivator. You can definitely defeat him, even the number one master can defeat him. Isn't it very easy to get a quota to enter the Dragon Pool?"
Nalan Xue looked at Jiang Lin in confusion. Jiang Lin was about to evolve the Dragon Pool. Nalan Xue heard from his master that the Dragon Pool is also a place to hone his mood, but it is much more advanced than the path of refining the mind. It seems to be useful to monks who have passed the tribulation period.
Every time the Dragon Transformation Pool is opened, in addition to the ten disciples he entered, some elders of the Qinglong Palace will also strive for some places. This is also the reason why Qingling can use her identity as the Lord of the Qinglong Palace to set a place for Jiang Lin. So Nalan Xue was puzzled, why did Jiang Lin insist on refining his heart?
"Just treat me as I'm going to see the fun. If you are busy, tell me where the road to refine my heart is. What qualifications are needed to take the road to refine my heart, I'll go there myself."
Jiang Lin didn't know how to explain it like Nalan Xue. He couldn't tell Nalan Xue. Although Qingling saw her, her cultivation was in the middle stage of fusion, but her mood was not yet in the Golden Pill stage, right? So Jiang Lin pretended to be deeply frowned.
"No, it doesn't mean that. If you want to go and have a look, I'll take you there."
Seeing Jiang Lin frowning, Nalan Xue couldn't help but tremble. Although he had known Jiang Lin for a short time, Jiang Lin's mysterious cultivation and advanced alchemy skills had deeply impressed Nalan Xue. In addition to Qing Ling's instructions before retreating, Nalan Xue called Jiang Lin as Senior Brother Jiang.
However, this senior brother also has a hint of respect for the elders and some stubbornness who refuses to give in to his peers. However, whenever Jiang Lin is a little angry, Nalan Xue doesn't feel afraid. Even with his parents, his grandfather, and his master, Nalan Xue doesn't feel this way.
Under Nalan Xue's leadership, Jiang Lin walked towards Lianxin Road, which attracted a lot of attention along the way. Many disciples from the Qinglong Palace speculated that whoever fell to the ground was with Nalan Xue, who had never colored men.
You should know that Nalan Xue is a recognized beauty in Qinglong Palace. She is not only the closed disciple of the palace master, but also the only daughter of the Nalan family in Qinglong City. She has no choice but to be able to enter the top three in Qinglong Palace.
However, since a few years ago, because he was so annoyed by the male disciples of the Qinglong Palace who kept harassing him, Nalan Xue exploded and directly beat the male disciple to seriously injured. In addition to the establishment of the snow protection group behind, the male disciples of the Qinglong Palace could only stay away from Nalan Xue, a top beauty.
"That's Nalanxue? It's really Nalanxue! But who is the man next to him? I've seen all the top ten masters of the Qinglong Palace, and there is no such person? There seems to be no such person in the fifty masters on the Dragon War List. Why does this person look like a mortal without cultivation?"
Along the way, whenever Nalan Xue, who had always been in-depth, was surrounded by a man. Many men in the Qinglong Palace felt that they were dazzled. After rubbing their eyes, they couldn't help but feel this kind of doubt in their hearts.
"That... tell me how to go next, what preparations are needed to enter the Xinlian Road, I just need to go through it myself." Jiang Lin, who had never been watched by so many people, felt a little uncomfortable all over when he was looked at by so many people.
"It's here, let me accompany you in front. I've just broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. At this time, the path of refining my mind will also be helpful for the training of my state of mind. I'm also planning to go in and take a look." When Jiang Lin was actually trying to avoid him, Nalan Xue said.
In fact, although the path to refining the heart at this time is indeed useful to Nalan Xue because the Dragon Transformation Pool is about to be opened. However, this usefulness is not as good as Nalan Xue entering the book pavilion to read books. But suddenly, this decision is not as good as Jiang Lin's desire to avoid Nalan Xue.
Nalan Xue's answer made Jiang Lin not know what to say for a moment. In fact, it is quite comfortable to stay with Nalan Xue. After all, whether it is a mortal or a monk, he will be very happy when he sees the beautiful woman that makes him pleasing to his eyes.
However, although Jiang Lin got along well with the people in Wangjia Village since childhood, he had to take care of his father and went to the mountains to collect herbs every day. Although he had a good relationship with the villagers, he always felt a little distant and could not integrate into their lives, or he had no time to integrate into them.
Since he was able to practice, Jiang Lin only stayed with Li Yuanfeng, who was a bit introverted. The two of them were dull. Although they both cared about each other and regarded each other as relatives, they only kept these in their hearts, or cared for them with actions and rarely expressed in words.
Therefore, in terms of personality, Jiang Lin is still a little withdrawn and low-key. He doesn't want to be noticed by too many people, just live his own life. So although it's not uncomfortable to stay with Nalan Xue, being looked at by so many people makes Jiang Lin feel a little uncomfortable.
"Look at Lin Fei, this kid is in trouble. A mortal who has no cultivation at all pretends to be a big-tailed wolf, but even Nalan Xue dares to approach him." Just as Jiang Lin looked straight and looked forward, the disciples of the Qinglong Palace who were paying attention to Jiang Lin became turbulent. Many male disciples showed gloating expressions.
"Sister Nalan, it turns out that you are here. I went to your residence for several days and couldn't find you. This is the Concentrating Grass I collected from the mountain a few days ago. I heard that you are going to break through, so I gave this to you, and I hope it will be helpful to you."
Just as Jiang Lin was walking, the way was suddenly stopped by a young man. The young man was about twenty-five years old and looked pretty, but the eyes flashed from time to time made people feel a stern and fierce feeling.
After stopping Nalan Xue, the young man took out a jade box from the storage bag and handed it to Nalan Xue. Although his eyes were well concealed, the heat and obsceneness in his eyes were still seen by Jiang Lin.
"The Concentration Grass is a third-level spiritual medicine. The monsters guarded are at least from the Nascent Soul stage. Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Lin can defeat the demon beasts in the Nascent Soul stage and obtain the Concentration Grass." The young man's words made the disciples of the Qinglong Palace around him make a noise.
"If someone gives me the Concentration Grass, I will definitely marry him." After hearing the Concentration Grass, some female disciples looked at the young man with their eyes shining, as if they were eager to squeeze Nalan Xue away. The jealousy of their own replacement for Nalan Xue was constantly brewing in their hearts.
The noise and surprise, shock and envy around him, coupled with a little jealousy, made the young man's breasts look three points higher again. Obviously, this feeling of being the focus of attention is very helpful to the young man.
"Thank you for your kindness, Junior Brother Lin, I have already broken through. This concentrating grass is too expensive, you might as well take it back." Seeing the young man Nalan Xue couldn't help frowning, and then spoke lightly. He didn't look at the jade box handed over by the young man from beginning to end.
The Concentrating Grass has the effects of calming the mind, striking and exorcising evil spirits. It is one of the main medicines for refining the Heart Protection Pill. It can also be taken alone. Although the effect is not as good as the Heart Protection Pill, it is much better than the auxiliary pills needed during general breakthroughs. After all, the third-level spiritual medicine is a rare existence for some monks.
