At noon, the Falling Cloud Inn was quite lively. There was an endless stream of customers pouring in, showing the prosperity of being the number one inn in Qingyun Town. When Lin Xun and Lin Li arrived, the hall was already crowded. From time to time, they could hear the sound of discussion.
Before Lin Xun could do anything, Qin Ming shouted,""Waiter, arrange a private room for me. Bring me three to five dishes and two jars of wine.”
"Alright." After receiving the money, the waiter was quite enthusiastic and directly brought the two of them to a private room.
Looking around, he saw that the private room was indeed much more prosperous than the main hall. The furniture was all made of thunderstruck wood, and there were even exquisite porcelain on both sides. Coupled with a layer of curtain, the atmosphere was quite good.
The dishes were quickly served and looked quite good. There were three meats and two vegetables. Qin Ming immediately raised his glass."Brother Lin, thank you for today's matter. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't even know how to end this.”After saying that, he downed it in one gulp to show his respect.
"These are all small matters. Speaking of which, it's because of yesterday's incident that caused Brother Qin to suffer.”Lin Xun also raised his cup.
This made Qin Ming laugh out loud," This has nothing to do with you, Brother Lin. Yesterday, I lost wholeheartedly. It was just them looking for trouble. I didn't expect to directly implicate you today."”He sighed.
Lin Xun was rather puzzled by Qin Ming's attitude. After all, through the earlier competition, he already understood that Lin Fan's strength wasn't much. He immediately asked,"I saw that although that person's realm was quite high, his strength was extremely weak. Why didn't you make a move?”
This question made Qin Ming silent for a while. After drinking a few mouthfuls of wine, he said,"Before this question, I still have to introduce to you the difference between the inner and outer disciples of the Lin family. The outer disciples are the ordinary disciples of the Lin family. If a war really breaks out, they will be cannon fodder.
Half of the outer sect disciples were itinerant cultivators, and the other half were servants or good-for-nothing descendants of the Lin family. No one paid attention to them at all. Their monthly salary was only used to support idlers. The outer sect competition was a way to select disciples with potential.
As for the benefits of the inner sect disciples, they were far better than the outer sect. In fact, no inner sect disciples were willing to receive the monthly salary of the outer sect because the vast majority of the inner sect disciples were from the Lin family. The other small portion were disciples who had entered from the outer sect competition.”
Although Lin Xun had been in the Lin family for ten years, he did not have any friends and did not often stay in the Lin family courtyard. Therefore, he did not understand this information at all. He immediately listened carefully to the other party's explanation.
"As disciples who entered from the outer sect, because we don't have the Lin family bloodline, although we can obtain a certain amount of benefits, we're still inferior. Even in the end, we're only guest elders of the Lin family. It's impossible for us to have much real power.
"Therefore, those Lin family disciples in the inner sect look down on us. We are not family after all. Therefore, we have to endure at all times. That's why we can't attack. Otherwise, sigh.”Qin Ming sighed.
Now, Lin Xun had finally figured out the entire matter. He did not expect that there would be such a difference in the Lin family. He had really never heard of it before.
However, thinking about it, it made sense. The only person Lin Xun was familiar with was Lin Yanran. As the daughter of the clan leader, how could she meet those arrogant disciples? Even if she was arrogant in front of others, she would definitely not show it in front of her, so she could be considered to be unaware.
It could be said that Qin Ming's information today was quite useful to Lin Xun. He raised his glass again."Thank you for introducing me to this situation.”
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his mind. He didn't expect these disciples with other surnames to be so lowly. In the end, they were just guest elders of the family. Thinking back to his identity, he was just the son of a guest elder. What was the final result?
He immediately felt that his decision to leave in the future was correct. The Lin family was indeed not a place to stay!
Following which, Qin Ming and Lin Xun chatted happily. After all, Lin Xun had helped him a great deal, and they finally had a certain level of friendship.
After lunch, Lin Xun went to the Hall of Techniques alone. This was his second time here, and it had been less than two months since the first time. From afar, he could see Elder Lin Wei standing guard in front of the Hall of Techniques. He still looked like he didn't want anyone to enter.
When he saw Lin Xun come over, he frowned. He seemed to have some impression of him and could not help but ask,"You must be the kid who chose the [Rampage Sword Technique]. You can't even learn it, right? I've wanted to ask you since you came back last time. It's really a pity. Tell me, why did you come this time?”
After all, Elder Lin Wei had good intentions. The other party had been guarding the cultivation technique hall all year round and had received very little information. Moreover, Lin Xun had only revealed his prowess yesterday, so it was completely normal that the other party did not know.
Lin Xun did not mind this kind of concern and nagging. Only after hearing the elder's inquiry did he take out his own order,"I won first place in the outer sect competition and was able to enter the second level of the cultivation technique hall.”
Seeing this, Elder Lin Wei couldn't help but nod his head and let them pass. Before they approached, he couldn't help but remind them softly,"This time, you must make a good choice. You can't be careless.”
Lin Xun smiled at his advice and could only express his agreement. He then slowly entered the Hall of Skills. The first floor was still the same as the last time. The secret manuals were neatly arranged, looking quite attractive. However, these were only the most ordinary Yellow Rank Lower Class secret manuals.
Lin Xun looked at the stairs not far away. His eyes were filled with anticipation. He immediately slowly stepped into the second level of the Hall of Skills. This was not a place that ordinary people could enter. At the very least, one had to become an inner sect disciple of the clan. Moreover, one had to make a contribution before being allowed to enter.
As for Lin Xun being able to enter, it was purely a coincidence. That was because Lin Xiao had specially doubled the reward in order to win over the hearts of the people. It should be known that although there was a difference of one level between the low-grade and the middle-grade, the meaning represented was completely different.
As soon as he came up, Lin Xun saw the stairs not far away. That place led to the third level. There must be better cultivation techniques and secret manuals inside, but Lin Xun was not qualified to go there at all. A trace of regret flashed in the corner of his eyes. Only then did Lin Xun size up his surroundings.
The second level of the Cultivation Technique Hall was much smaller than the first level. Moreover, the cultivation technique manuals on the shelves were placed more carefully. Every book was even stored in a wooden box. Outside the box was the introduction of the cultivation technique. It was no longer like the first level, where one could read it without restraint.
This was mainly to prevent the cultivation technique from being leaked. After all, although some people could not cultivate these cultivation techniques, after entering, they could completely memorize the contents and then seize the time to go out and copy them. This way, they might not be able to completely replicate them, but they could still gather 80% of the mysteries.
Even if a low-grade manual was stolen, it would not hurt. However, a middle-grade and above manual was a solid existence of the family. Even if a family member came in to learn it, they would only memorize it and then slowly leave.
Lin Xun was sure that although Elder Lin Wei was guarding the entrance, there were definitely people observing the cultivation technique hall. Firstly, it was to prevent the disciples from reading more than one secret manual at a time. Secondly, it was to organize and protect the secret manual.
Although Lin Xun had yet to sense where the other party was, he believed that he would definitely appear immediately if anything happened.
However, time was precious. Lin Xun immediately threw these unrealistic thoughts out of his mind and quickly checked the cultivation techniques. The number of cultivation techniques and martial arts techniques on this level was also a little less. There were about 20 to 30 books on the first level, and there were only about 10 books on this level.
Although the number had decreased, the power of the moves must have been more powerful. After all, these were Yellow Rank Middle Class secret manuals. Lin Xun immediately began to check the introduction of the cultivation method placed outside.
[Lost Footstep Kick Technique: Not only can one's legs be as swift as the wind when they walk, but they can also be used as a footwork secret manual. If one cultivates it to perfection, once they use it, they can create afterimages that people can't guard against.]
This leg technique might be quite good for ordinary people. Not only was it extremely powerful, but it could also be used as a footwork. It could be said to be quite cost-effective.
However, to Lin Xun, it was rather useless. If he wanted to attack, he didn't have any attacks. In terms of footwork, it was impossible for him to compare to Floating Light and Shadow. He immediately swept past this secret manual and looked at the next one.
[Barbarian Bull Force: The cultivator of this technique will have a clear blood flow and great strength. Each punch is as powerful as a bull, and its attack power is extremely huge. It also has a certain body-refining effect, making your defense stronger.]
Lin Xun still shook his head. He was a swordsman, not a body cultivator. This Bull Force was not even of any use to him. If he were to learn it, it would be useless. He immediately continued to check.
