Chapter 443 It’s time for a showdown
Sea of Stars, Green Carp Island.
Two green streams of light came rushing from the horizon.
The Zhou family's patrol team was extremely efficient. They immediately flew into the sky and intercepted two green lights.
After confirming their identities, they welcomed the two green-feathered birds and Zhou Tianyi on their backs into Green Carp Island.
Liu Ruoqin and the female bird landed in the open space in the front yard of the Alchemy Hall, and walked into the alchemy room with the immortal cultivation resources given to her by Zhou Tianyi, ready to take stock of the gains from this exploration of the Sihai Sect's secret realm.
Zhou Tianyi and the male bird carried Lin Zhongtian and Chang'an, who had transformed into a silver tiger cub, to the side hall.
After respectfully inviting Lin Zhongtian into the side hall to rest, Zhou Tianyi asked the family monks to serve Lin Zhongtian well before leaving alone.
Not long after, Zhou Tianyi appeared in the private practice room dedicated to the head of the family.
A ray of blue light flew out from the jade pendant around his waist and turned into a blue shadow in mid-air. It was exactly what the Beihai Sword Master looked like.
"Disciple!" Beihai Sword Master said solemnly, "My master has been observing your senior brother Lin these days."
"Based on his performance these days, as well as his previous words and deeds, I can conclude that he is definitely not a monk in this world!"
Zhou Tianyi frowned and said, "You mean, Senior Brother Lin comes from other lower realms?"
Beihai Sword Master shook his head: "No, I mean, he probably comes from the upper world!"
Zhou Tianyi was slightly startled: "Upper Realm?"
Beihai Sword Master nodded and said: "Yes, when he gave you the mount, he said something, do you still remember it?"
Zhou Tianyi frowned and thought, suddenly thinking of something, he looked at Beihai Sword Master in shock.
Beihai Sword Master nodded and said in a solemn tone: "It seems that you have also remembered it. What he said at that time was, 'According to my personality, I should give you some greeting gifts.' At that time, I didn't think much about it, I just thought This is what he calls himself.”
"But these days, my teacher suddenly felt that this sentence might have other meanings."
"For example, he really has a real body..."
Zhou Tianyi said in shock: "You mean, Senior Brother Lin is just a clone?"
Beihai Sword Master nodded and said: "I suspect that his true form may be a monk from the upper world... I have to say that you made a good move. You picked up a big backer for no reason. As long as you maintain the relationship with him, you will be able to go up in the future." Within a thousand years, the Zhou family can develop with peace of mind under his wings."
...This is not a backer picked up for no reason.
Zhou Tianyi thought to himself.
However, he did not intend to tell Beihai Sword Master about his identity as a time traveler.
In other words, he didn't plan to tell anyone this secret except Lin Zhongtian, who was also a time traveler.
After all, in this world of cultivating immortals, time travel and seizing one's body have almost the same meaning.
This is also why time-travelers naturally have a better impression of each other, because only fellow time-travelers can or dare to tell each other about the biggest secret hidden deep in their hearts.
Beihai Sword Master was not aware of Zhou Tianyi's psychological activities. He just stood from the perspective of his disciple and continued: "Although I am very sure that the person's body is an upper realm monk, it is best for you to pretend not to know. , let alone temptation, lest it make him unhappy..."
"Master, what you said is wrong."
Zhou Tianyi shook his head: "Senior Brother Lin dares to say this, which shows that he has no intention of hiding it."
Beihai Sword Master frowned and retorted: "That has to wait until he brings it up himself. This is just a matter of human nature, do you understand?"
Zhou Tianyi smiled: "Master, don't worry, in terms of human relations and sophistication, my disciple boasts that he still has some insights!"
"That's good!"
Beihai Sword Master thought about it, so he nodded and turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the jade pendant around Zhou Tianyi's waist.
Zhou Tianyi held the necklace on his chest and silently glanced at the jade pendant on his waist. After thinking for a moment, he still didn't take it off. He just took out the spirit stone from the storage bracelet and began to practice silently.
…
…
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is another three days.
Zhou Tianyi was wearing a blue robe, walking on the wooden bridge of Qingli Lake with Lin Zhongtian, talking and laughing.
The colorful bridge reflected by the water mist crossed over their heads and was erected on the lake full of green carp.
If there are monks from the Zhou family passing by with flying magic weapons on the surrounding lake, they will stop when they see the two people on the bridge, respectfully carry their luggage to them, and then go about their own business.
Lin Zhongtian looked at the leaving figures of the Zhou family monks and said with a smile: "The number of Zhou family monks on Qingli Island seems to be a bit small!"
Although the Zhou family on Qingli Island also has hundreds of Qi Refining Stage monks, compared to other Immortal Cultivation families with Pill Formation Stage monks, the number of hundreds of monks is indeed smaller.
Not to mention a family with two or more pill-forming monks, even if there is only one pill-forming monk, the number of monks in the family should be at least a thousand or more.
Zhou Tianyi sighed and said: "There is no way. The Zhou family started too late and rose too fast. It is normal for the successor to be unable to succeed."
"But this situation will soon improve. I have promulgated many policies to encourage childbirth, and I have also given the spiritual energy resources of the third-level spiritual veins to those pregnant female cultivators..."
"The effect is also very significant. The average qualifications of babies born three years ago are higher than those in previous years."
"I just finished testing my spiritual roots some time ago. Of the 287 three-year-old children, 236 have spiritual root qualifications. Among them, a pair of twins even have dual spiritual root qualifications."
"This ratio, let alone the Jiedan family, even among those cultivating families with Nascent Soul stage monks, is outstanding!"
Speaking of this, Zhou Tianyi showed a proud look on his face, obviously very satisfied with the results of running his family.
Lin Zhongtian nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "What about yourself? The cultivation speed of Ice Spirit Root should be much faster than your previous three spirit root qualifications, right?"
"It's almost too much!"
Zhou Tianyi expressed emotion: "I have always had the qualification of three spiritual roots before, so I think it is good to practice steadily, but now that I have experienced the speed of cultivation of ice spiritual roots, and let me go back to the past again, I really feel a little uncomfortable just thinking about it. No…”
"It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality!"
"According to my previous qualifications, if I want to advance from the first level to the second level, even if the spirit stones are full, it will take more than five years. But now I am confident that I can advance to the second level within a year. , within three years, reaching the third level of the core formation, and in ten years, reaching the middle stage of the formation is no longer a dream!"
Looking at the sighing look on Zhou Tianyi's face, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but feel speechless.
The concept of time in the world of cultivating immortals is indeed somewhat different from other worlds.
In ten years, the alliance's power system will be comparable to that of an immortal, right?
But Zhou Tianyi only practiced from the first level of Dan Ji to the fourth level of Dan Jie, and he was very satisfied with this speed.
This is really...
Lin Zhongtian laughed and shook his head, and then asked softly: "In the middle of the ten-year pill formation, are you satisfied with this?"
Zhou Tianyi was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Zhongtian with a puzzled face.
Lin Zhongtian smiled and said: "Calculating the time, it's almost time. It's time to show off with you."
……showdown?
What cards are on display?
Isn’t it already a showdown?
Zhou Tianyi's doubts became more intense.
Lin Zhongtian waved his hand, and silver light suddenly enveloped the jade pendant around Zhou Tianyi's waist.
Zhou Tianyi was slightly startled, but out of trust in Lin Zhongtian, he still made no move. He just cast doubtful eyes on Lin Zhongtian, as if waiting for his explanation.
"Okay, I have blocked your master, please put the jade pendant away, and I will take you somewhere!"
Hearing Lin Zhongtian's slightly smiling words, Zhou Tianyi frowned, thought for a moment, nodded, and put the jade pendant into the storage bracelet.
…
…
Ten minutes later, there is a gap in the void, the Traveler Square.
Zhou Tianyi looked at the giant gray ball in the center of the square with a complicated expression.
"So, senior brother, you are not a monk in the upper realm."
"certainly."
"But you did practice the techniques of our world."
"That's because I think this world is very interesting, so I specially opened a new vest to practice your skills."
"...How long have you been practicing?"
"Less than a month."
"What cultivation level?"
"Middle stage of Nascent Soul."
"..."
Zhou Tianyi's cheek muscles twitched, and he finally understood why Lin Zhongtian was dismissive of his cultivation speed.
"Is it because of the gray mist coins?" Zhou Tianyi humbly asked for advice.
"I don't know, maybe it's because the materials I use to refine my external incarnation are relatively high-end. Do you still remember the precious treasure that was born on Zizhu Island? It's the Purple Spirit Bamboo I cultivated with Gray Mist Coins, and it's what you see now. The clone's body."
Lin Zhongtian replied calmly.
Zhou Tianyi stared at Lin Zhongtian blankly, constantly digesting the huge amount of information contained in the other party's words.
So...the so-called important treasure that caused countless upper-world forces to fight for it was actually a clone that Lin Zhongtian cultivated.
It only took Lin Zhongtian less than a month to start from scratch and reach the middle stage of Nascent Soul...
Of course, in fact, Lin Zhongtian only spent seven days practicing, and as long as he wanted to, he could rush to the late stage of Nascent Soul at any time. It was not too difficult to survive the God Transformation Thunder Tribulation on the same day.
Zhou Tianyi didn't know the truth of the matter, but just like that, it was shocking enough for him.
Zhou Tianyi swallowed, suppressed the shock and excitement in his heart, looked at Lin Zhongtian and said, "Senior Brother Lin, no, Alliance Leader, am I now considered a member of our Traveler Alliance?"
Third update at night
