New and dark light years

Chapter 245 Star Reaching Tower

Just as Li Lin left the crowd, he was stopped again.

A boy did a front flip and landed in front of him.

This man had wheat-colored skin, an arrogant expression on his face, and carried a sword on his back. He looked like a lively and righteous young swordsman.

"Is there something you need, brother?" Li Lin asked, cupping his hands in greeting.

The man, with a blade of grass dangling from his horn, said casually, "You made someone fall, and instead of helping them up or apologizing, you didn't even bother to apologize. Is this what you call reading the classics?"

Li Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, sized up the other person for a moment, and sneered, "Are you an idiot?"

The act of directly launching into insults stunned the other party.

Generally speaking, scholars will first try to explain themselves.

Li Lin had the air of a scholar, but when he opened his mouth, he spoke of traditional Chinese culture.

"Why are you swearing?" the young swordsman exclaimed in exasperation.

"I'm already being very polite by not even inquiring about your mother's well-being." Li Lin chuckled. "Are you blind? All you saw was me knocking someone down."

"I saw it from behind," the young hero said awkwardly. "She fell down as you walked past her."

“If you walk past me, you’ll be the one who stole the money,” Li Lin said irritably. “Get out of my way, or I’ll call the authorities.”

The young hero seemed a bit dim-witted; although his imposing manner had been suppressed by Li Lin, he still muttered, "But I really saw it!"

Li Lin frowned. He felt that this young hero was here to cause him trouble. Just as he was about to make a move, he heard a voice from the side.

“Young hero, that gentleman did not bump into the woman. You were behind and couldn’t see clearly, but I was right next to him and could see it very clearly.”

The voice was gentle and pleasant.

The two turned their heads and found a woman next to them, dressed in a purple gown, with a beautiful face and a great figure.

The young swordsman blushed immediately upon seeing the woman.

Li Lin then gently cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for speaking up for justice, young lady."

"You're too kind, sir." The woman bowed slightly.

Then, just as she was about to say something, Li Lin turned and left.

Without any regrets.

The woman's eyes widened slightly.

The young swordsman with the wheat-colored skin looked at the woman with some shyness, and asked with clasped hands, "May I ask your name, young lady?"

The woman glanced at him and smiled, "A daughter from a good family wouldn't casually reveal her maiden name to other men. Young hero, farewell."

After saying this, the woman left with four maids, leaving behind a lingering fragrance in the air.

The young hero stared blankly.

Just then, the girl who had broken her nose walked by with two maids.

The young hero only glanced at it, then stared blankly in the direction where the woman had disappeared.

After thinking it over, he followed them from a distance.

Li Lin was unaware of what was happening behind him. He went to the paper shop and began preparing to make today's paper figures.

The shopkeeper came over when the food was halfway done.

"master."

"what's the matter?"

At this moment, Li Lin had already placed the finished paper figures into the compartment, and the shopkeeper had no idea what Li Lin was doing there.

The old shopkeeper said respectfully, "A guest outside has brought over a brocade box."

A brocade box?

Li Lin took the item.

Upon closer inspection, the box has a vermilion base with three golden flowers and some patterns painted on it.

Although it sounds simple, judging from the craftsmanship, you can tell that this box alone would cost at least fifty taels of silver.

No wonder the old shopkeeper was so respectful.

Li Lin opened the brocade box, inside which was a jade pendant and a silk book.

The jade pendant was placed on top of the silk book. Li Lin first picked up the jade pendant.

The jade pendant is quite translucent, almost like glass.

Li Lin immediately recognized that this jade was made of the same material as the white jade immortal sword at home.

He subconsciously channeled his spiritual energy into the jade, and soon the jade began to glow faintly.

Li Lin waited a while longer and found that this thing seemed to only emit light and had no other use.

For lighting?

Li Lin thought for a while, put the jade aside, picked up the silk book and opened it.

The sign read: "We sincerely invite Supervisor Li to meet at the entrance of the Zhenjun Temple at midnight tonight. See you there!"

Upon seeing these words, Li Lin knew that his whereabouts had been discovered by others once again.

It's not surprising that Tianyi Sect members can find themselves; the pathfinding paper doll is particularly effective.

But who is this person who arranged for me to meet at the Zhenjun Temple, or which faction is involved?
However, he felt that this 'person' probably didn't have any ill intentions, otherwise they wouldn't have given him a jade pendant made of this material; it was clearly a token of their affection.

You should be able to keep the appointment; just be careful.

Then Li Lin put that aside for the time being and focused on making paper figures.

With the upgrade of his dual cultivation technique, Li Lin's cultivation speed increased significantly in the recent period.

Moreover, the paper-making technique has also been slightly improved.

He can now control three hundred paper figures.

He believed that if he could make three hundred paper figures, even if he couldn't defeat those masters, escaping wouldn't be difficult.

After making more than thirty more soul-guiding paper figures, Li Lin felt that his spiritual energy was about to be exhausted, so he went home to rest.

In the small courtyard, the boy 'Xiao Zhen' was chopping firewood.

Although he wasn't very strong, he could still chop wood.

"Master, you're back." Xiaoping was washing clothes nearby, and immediately stood up and bowed when she saw Li Lin.

Xiao Zhen also stopped chopping wood and bowed to Li Lin at the door.

Li Lin waved his hand: "You guys keep working, I'm going to rest for a bit. Call me when it's time to eat."

"Master, I'll go prepare dinner right away."

Xiaoping wrung out the clothes, and Li Lin discovered that they were Xiaozhen's old clothes, the very tattered ones.

"Why keep such tattered clothes? Just throw them away."

"Master, if this garment is mended, it can be made into a short jacket. It would also be suitable for Xiaozhen to wear."

Xiaoping's expression showed reluctance to part.

Li Lin comes from a world of abundant resources, and essentially, his values ​​are similar to those of the world's top wealthy families.

He only eats good food and throws away rotten food. He doesn't even want to touch leftovers, because eating too much of them is bad for his health.

From such small things, many people who know him instinctively believe that he comes from an extremely noble background.

Xiaoping now thinks so too.

"Then so be it," Li Lin said. He then went into the room and began to sit cross-legged to rest.

After a while, Xiaoping knocked on the door from outside: "Master, dinner is ready."

Li Lin got up, went out to the hall, and sat down to eat.

A few pieces of mutton, a serving of green vegetables, and a large bowl of rice.

Li Lin picked up the bowl first, and only then did the two children sitting near the threshold dare to pick up their bowls.

Li Lin ate very slowly, while they ate very quickly.

Xiao Zhen, in particular, quickly ate all the rice in her bowl and then watched Li Lin eat with longing eyes.

Xiaoping patted his head.

"Go eat if there's still rice in the pot."

Xiao Zhen's eyes widened: "Thank you, sir."

Then he happily went to get his rice.

Then he sat back down on the threshold and suddenly said, “Master, during the day, there are quite a few people watching our house.”

"Huh? How did you know?" Li Lin asked curiously.

“When I’m begging on the street, if someone tries to be mean to me, I can know in advance and run away.”

Can it sense malice?

This kid is quite talented.

Li Lin asked, "Are they still around?"

They left around dusk.

Li Lin said he understood.

It could be someone from the Tang family, or it could be the force with whom I had arranged to meet.

In short, if they don't come in, we'll ignore them.

After finishing his meal, Li Lin pointed to the two remaining pieces of mutton on his plate and said, "One piece for each of us, please eat them for me."

Then Li Lin got up and went back inside.

He could faintly hear Xiao Zhen's voice from inside the room.

"Sister, the mutton is so delicious! You should have some. It must be the best thing in the world."

Li Lin smiled and continued to sit cross-legged to rest.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost midnight.

Li Lin stood up.

The two little ones were already asleep.

Li Lin quietly left the house.

Xiangcheng is quite lively at night, but there are very few people here at Zhenjun Temple.

Because the True Lord is inherently a being dominated by Yin energy, during the day when Yang energy is abundant, one doesn't feel anything, but at night, the cold energy overwhelms the Yang energy, and ordinary people who come here will feel very uncomfortable.

Therefore, very few people come.

Li Lin walked over stealthily.

He first noticed that there was indeed a person standing near the entrance of the Zhenjun Temple.

However, he still used his stealth ability to walk around the Zhenjun Temple to make sure there were no ambushes before revealing himself in a dark place and walking out.

Upon seeing Li Lin, the man immediately quickened his pace, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Is this Supervisor Li?"

Li Lin returned the greeting with clasped hands and walked over, saying, "It is indeed I, the official. Who are you?"

Since the other party addressed him by his official title, Li Lin then adopted an air of authority.

The man was just an ordinary man. He bowed slightly and said, "I'm just passing on a message."

"Oh, is there something you want to say?"

"Our master asks Supervisor Li if he knows about the Star-Picking Tower."

"I don't know!"

"You can practice the 'Hidden' technique."

"Fixed."

"He understands celestial phenomena."

At this moment, Li Lin frowned: "You've already asked me two questions, now it's my turn to ask you."

"The patriarch already guessed that the Supervisor would interrupt me before the third question, and he was right." The man's smile was somewhat smug.

Li Lin frowned slightly, but still asked, "Is the Star-Picking Tower one of your forces?"

"Correct!"

"I have never heard of the Star-Picking Tower."

"That's because it's newly built, established thirty years ago. It's not well-known yet, but it will soon be famous throughout the world."

soon?

Li Lin thought of the extraordinary treasure that was about to be born.

It should be around noon tomorrow.

Could it be that Zhaixinglou... intends to use this opportunity to appear in the eyes of the world?

"I've asked two questions too, now it's your turn," Li Lin said.

"The patriarch would also like to ask if you know how to refine the Life-Sustaining Pill."

Li Lin did not answer.

But the man understood, and he smiled and said, "Alright, let's ask the Commander."

"How did you find me?"

"There is nothing in this world that the Star-Picking Tower does not know."

Upon hearing this, Li Lin laughed.

He doesn't believe it.

The man said, "The head of the family only allowed me to ask three questions. Now, I should go."

Li Lin gestured for him to proceed.

As soon as the man turned around and disappeared around the corner, Li Lin immediately entered stealth mode.

He wanted to sneak over and find out where this person's hideout was.

But when he turned the corner of the Zhenjun Temple, he saw the man take out a dagger and plunge it into his heart.

The man collapsed, dead beyond any doubt.

But there was no fear in his eyes, nor any dissatisfaction on his face.

He only had a look of complete satisfaction on his face.

Death warrior!

Li Lin sighed softly. The Star-Picking Tower was indeed very cautious in its actions.
