Because as long as he persisted, even if Lin Xun couldn't circulate the Qi cultivation method for the time being, his speed would still far exceed ordinary people. This way, when fighting, he would be able to seize the initiative and his combat strength would be greatly improved.
Moreover, if one's speed was far faster than ordinary people, it meant that others would not be able to catch up to them at all. Even if one was not as strong as the other party, they could still escape. Staying alive was the most important thing. If one lost their life, no matter how many things they had, it would be all for nothing.
Along the way, he quietly experienced his own footsteps. On the contrary, he had a deeper understanding of the footwork of Floating Light and Shadow. Those seemingly strange movements actually made him feel a little harmonious.
Especially when he was running, a force actually surged out of his body, which made Lin Xun's body even lighter and his speed also changed. However, when Lin Xun carefully examined his body, he did not find anything abnormal. It was as if the force that had just surged out did not exist at all.
"I didn't think that the Mystic step technique would be so profound. Then what about the Earth or Heaven level?”Lin Xun could not help but exclaim in surprise. At the same time, he could not help but be even more curious about the legendary secret manuals.
When Lin Xun arrived, he had spent half a day rushing from Qingyun Town to the Cross Mountains. However, when he returned, he had saved one-third of the time thanks to the help of Floating Light and Shadow. Most importantly, he had not been discovered by anyone, because in the eyes of others, Lin Xun was just like them, running normally.
Lin Xun originally thought that even if he succeeded in cultivating it, he would have to hide it and not let others know. Otherwise, it would definitely attract others 'attention. However, since the confidentiality was so high, he could openly display it in the future.
Even though the speed of his return had increased significantly, by the time Lin Xun returned to Qingyun Town, the sky had already turned completely dark. If he returned to the Lin family now, it would be a little late. He might be questioned again. Immediately, Lin Xun was too lazy to return. He casually made some food and returned to his own cliff.
This place was still quiet, and no one had come here before. However, Lin Xun still carefully searched around before taking out the items in his arms. Right now, he could be considered one of the wealthiest people in the entire Qingyun Town.
Just this Floating Light and Shadow alone was enough to make people drool. Even the three great clans did not have a footwork of this grade. It was not too much to be careful with such a precious item.
That night was rather quiet. After continuing to study the secret manual in front of him, Lin Xun was also a little tired. After all, he had used up a lot of energy in today's continuous battles. He needed to rest well.
Therefore, Lin Xun sat cross-legged under the roof of his own shed like an ascetic monk. His wooden sword was placed across his legs, and he fell asleep.
The next morning, Lin Xun was already awake. He touched his wooden sword and felt that his connection with it seemed to have deepened. He could not help but smile. In these ten years, it could be said that his wooden sword had never left his body. Now, there was finally some feedback and a faint connection was established.
After practicing the basic sword technique once, Lin Xun did not sweat at all. Instead, he stood on the cliff with a trace of confusion in his eyes and muttered,"Today should be the time to receive your monthly salary.”
He hadn't expected time to pass so quickly. A month had passed without him realizing it. However, to Lin Xun, this month had been a heaven-shaking change. He had gone from a cripple who couldn't cultivate to a tempered body fourth stage cultivator.
Although Lin Xun had already made a fortune yesterday and didn't need to care about a bottle of Body Tempering Pills, no one would complain about having too many cultivation resources. One bottle a month was actually not enough. He immediately set off.
After walking through such a familiar journey from the back mountain to the accountant's office, Lin Xun was still filled with a myriad of emotions. Especially when he saw Manager Liu's ball-like body not far away, the corners of his mouth revealed a trace of a smile. It could be said that his mood this time around was completely different from the past.
Lin Xun skillfully lined up at the end of the line and heard the dense discussion around him. To be honest, Lin Xun did not hate such sounds at all. He was even listening quietly.
Because there were so many people here, they could basically get any information they wanted. Over the years, Lin Xun had learned about the Heavenly Martial Continent through books, and he knew about the big and small matters in Qingyun Town mostly because of the contributions of these disciples.
No matter how big or small the matter was, except for those highly confidential matters, these people knew everything clearly. It was really admirable.
Suddenly, Lin Xun's ears twitched as he heard something that caught his attention."By the way, how have you been recently? Did his cultivation level increase? The Great Outer Sect Competition was next month. Who knew who would be eliminated this time?”
"Yeah, time really flies. Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with us. As long as we can guarantee that we won't be eliminated, it's fine.”Another person immediately replied.
"You can't say that. If your friend is strong and enters the inner sect through the outer sect competition, you can also benefit from it.”That person immediately retorted.
However, at this moment, Lin Xun completely ignored the conversation between the two of them and fell into deep thought. He did not expect that this year's outer sect competition would begin again.
As the name suggested, the outer sect competition was a trial for the outer sect disciples of the Lin family. Actually, the outer sect disciples sounded good, but it was actually nothing. In fact, their status in the Lin family was quite low. It could even be said that they were cannon fodder raised by the Lin family.
They would provide you with a secret manual to study and give you a Body Refinement Pill every month to increase your strength. Otherwise, you would die the moment the battle began and would not be able to play the role of cannon fodder.
However, these outer sect disciples were also quite popular. After all, they did not have much time to fight. Moreover, they could be protected by the Lin family. Therefore, they had to extract the essence and discard the dregs. Every year, an outer sect competition would be held.
Among them, the top three disciples could obtain rich rewards because only then could they nurture experts. They had even been heavily observed and had hopes of entering the Lin family in the future. As for the last three, they would face elimination. Although the Lin family did not care about their business, they could not tolerate you staying here to eat for free. This was the meaning of the outer sect competition.
As for Lin Xun, he was the adopted son of the clan leader after all, so it was impossible for him to be eliminated. Otherwise, people would say that the Lin family was ungrateful. Therefore, even if they had not participated in the outer sect competition once, they still received the same treatment. It was just that they had often been exploited in the past.
In the path of cultivation, there was only one word: " fight." In the past, Lin Xun was just a mortal and did not have the qualifications to participate in such a competition. However, it was completely different now. He now hoped to compete. One had to know that the rewards for the top three could not help but be tempted even after Lin Xun had made a fortune.
"Looks like it's time to fight for the outer sect competition.”Lin Xun thought to himself. After all, it had only taken him a month to go from a mortal to the peak of the tempered body fourth stage. Who knew what kind of huge changes would happen in another month.
Just as Lin Xun was thinking about how to deal with the family competition, more than half of the team had disappeared. Only one person was left to reach Lin Xun. When he looked up, he saw a disciple in front of him with a face full of anger. There were only five taels of silver on the counter, and there were no Body Tempering Pills.
It was obvious that this disciple's monthly salary had been reduced by more than half, but the situation was stronger than the person. This was just an ordinary disciple, and no one stood up for him. Although Lin Xun saw it, the other party had nothing to do with him, so he immediately watched coldly.
After this disciple disappeared, it was Lin Xun's turn. Steward Liu changed his style of doing things from before. Instead, his face was full of smiles. He even gave a lot more monthly salary. It was obvious that this was a blatant fawning.
Towards Steward Liu's completely different approach from before, Lin Xun smiled. This was the change in strength. In this world, becoming stronger was the right path.
After receiving his monthly salary, Lin Xun turned around and walked towards his residence. What surprised him was that he actually met an acquaintance. It was Lin Ce, who had robbed him for ten years. He didn't expect that this person would still dare to come and help him when the other two people were already dead.
However, Lin Xun did not have the time to waste on his opponent. His wooden sword flashed and a beautiful sword flower was thrown out. Then, Lin Ce felt a burning pain on his body. He did not expect to be seriously injured just like that. He could only look at Lin Xun's back with fear.
Lin Xun no longer cared about such a small character. If it wasn't for the Lin family's strict prohibition of disciples killing each other, his head would have already fallen to the ground.
However, although Lin Xun had already spared the other party's life, it was a fate worse than death. This was because the meridians in his hand had been completely severed, which meant that he could no longer cultivate.
Even if they were alive, what awaited them was only despair.
