Chapter 104: The Holy Maiden of Clear Lotus (Third Update)

  Even if the elder above knew, they would often turn a blind eye. Moreover, the disciples of Lude Hall know their limits and mostly bully nominal disciples. Occasionally, they would also bully some low-level outer sect disciples who have no power or influence, and these people would often swallow their anger and remain silent.

  For those who have cultivated their internal energy to the second or third level, surprisingly no one dares to lay a hand on them!

  After all, this is also a disciple under the elder, doing some small actions behind his back.

  This time, with the permission of Sheng Nu Long Bingyan, he dared to deduct more than 800 points of merit value. Normally, he wouldn't dare to deduct so much. The privileges of being a disciple of Lu De are not small, but they shouldn't be abused so blatantly.

  Although he said it fiercely, when Lin Xi really handed over the lucky card, he didn't dare to refuse!

  Deduct a little, it's harmless, it's a small action. Deduct all of them, especially the rewards for the elder mission, and the nature is different.

  Lin Xi's hand was too overbearing, his eyes were also too venomous, and he really hit his weak spot.

  "You think I don't dare?"

  Lude's disciple narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice.

  "How dare you?"

  Lin Xi said coldly.

  "Hum! This is what you asked for, don't regret it?"

  Lude's disciple spoke in a stern voice, but his face was already pale with fear.

  "A mere 2240 points of merit, I don't even put it in my eyes. Today, I can take on another elder task and earn over 2000 points of merit, then I can take on the second, third... Now, my Lu De card is placed here, I only ask you one question, do you dare?"

  Lin Xi said coldly.

  "You!"

  Lude's pupils contracted slightly. He could see that Lin Xi was really not concerned about it. 2,240 merit points, for a named disciple, was an enormous number, but he actually didn't care!

  He didn't know that Lin Xi obtained the most merit value, mainly to exchange for elixirs. But he already had a dragon dan of Qixian realm and two dragon eggs on his body, which were far more valuable than the elixirs that could be exchanged with 2240 merit points!

  Lin Xi felt a surge of anger in his heart. 2000 points of merit value were gone, he could still earn them back. But with his bone marrow gone, what could he use to earn?

  "Hmmph!"

  Lude's disciple threw Lin Xi's Lude badge to the ground with a fierce toss.

  "Your quest reward is in your hands, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, don't go to the elder, I'll tell you a unreasonable trouble!"

  Lude's disciple said in a low voice.

  He didn't have the guts to take all of Lin Xi's merits for himself. This remark was already a veiled admission of weakness and defeat.

  Lü De's disciple, after all, is not Lü De himself, and still has some reservations. Especially since Lin Xi accepted this task from Dan Ding elder, it involves another elder, so even if he is Lü De's disciple, he doesn't dare to be too reckless.

  "Hum! Good-for-nothing!"

  Lin Xi let out a cold hum.

  There are rules for sects, and there are rules for gates. The larger the force, the more it cannot lack laws and regulations, and the more chaotic it becomes. Just like Long Bingyan wanted to kill Lin Xi, but he didn't dare to do it directly on Shen Xiao Mountain, so he had to use various covert means, such as during the Immortal Dao assessment or the Black Dragon Gate mission, to get rid of him.

  Shen Xiao Sect is no ordinary sect and will definitely not tolerate such behavior from its disciples. Lin Xi had seen through this point from the very beginning, which was why he dared to do so.

  When Lu De's disciple heard Lin Xi's words, his face twitched violently, as if he had been slapped in the face. This was a severe slap in the face, and it was done without any restraint.

  "Go back and tell Long Bingyan, thirty years on the east of the river, forty years on the west of the river. One day, I will trample her ruthlessly under my feet and make her regret what she has done."

  Dropping this sentence, Lin Xi didn't even look at the ugly face of Lu De's disciple behind him, and directly strode away. When he passed by Lu De's plaque, his true energy rolled up and took back the Lu De plaque on his body.

  Lude card is indispensable for every Xian Dao disciple, and there are many things that need to be used with Lude card later. Lin Xi will fight against the Lude disciple, but he will never fight against himself.

  Leaving Lude Temple, Lin Xi immediately went to Fude Grand Hall.

  Lin Xi pondered for a moment, and the remaining 1400 points of merit in the Lu De card could be exchanged for about 30 Qi-boosting pills. Lin Xi planned to break through to the first level of Refining Qi, then swallow them all at once, continuing his efforts with the Dragon Dan and Dragon Egg, to see if he could break through to the second level of Refining Qi, reaching the realm of Tong Yu.

  Lin Xi's bizarre attire, with two dragon eggs on his back, drew a lot of attention as soon as he arrived at the Fude Temple. Many people turned to look, pointing and giggling quietly.

  "Hey, if they knew I was carrying a Black Dragon's dragon egg which can greatly increase power and longevity, they probably wouldn't be laughing."

  Lin Xi listened to the various discussions in his ear, and he didn't care at all. He believed that if he untied the bundle and revealed the dragon egg inside, a large number of people would probably have their eyes pop out.

  While waiting in line at the Fude Temple, a sudden burst of voices came from behind. A faint cry of "Shi Jie" could be heard.

  Lin Xi didn't mind. He didn't even turn his head, but just as he was about to continue waiting, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him:

  "Lin Xi, it's you! ——"

  Lin Xi was startled and turned around, a familiar face, full of youth and vitality, lively and lovely, appeared before his eyes.

  "Yao Xue?! How did you end up here?"

  It turned out that the one who caused a commotion among the crowd in the back was actually Shangguan Yaoyue.

  "What's up? I was just looking for you! How come it's been so long since you came to see me? I went to your place too, but couldn't find you either."

  Shangguan Yaoyue pouted her mouth and said with a huff, somewhat displeased.

  "Haha, so that's how it is. I've accepted a sect mission. Going to Black Dragon Space to complete a task."

  Lin Xi explained.

  He calculated in his heart. He had been practicing in the courtyard for four days, and he had spent a lot of time in the Black Dragon Space. Calculating it out, it was almost six or seven days since he last saw Shangguan Yaoyue.

  It's really quite long.

  "Sect Mission?"

  Shangguan Yaoyue blinked her eyes, and her anger dissipated: "So that's how it is. I was originally looking for you to go with me on a sect mission. It turns out you've already accepted."

  The Xian Dao sect values strength above all else!

  For Xian Dao disciples, the most important thing is to receive sect tasks and earn merit points. This can speed up their cultivation the fastest.

  For Xian Dao disciples, this is basic common sense. After becoming a Xian Dao disciple, the busiest thing to do is also doing sect tasks.

  "Yao Xue, you haven't introduced me yet. This little Shidi, who is he?"

  A serene and tranquil voice, like a lonely orchid in an empty valley, came from behind.

  Lin Xi was slightly startled, and only then did he notice that behind Shangguan Yaoyue stood a tall and slender woman with an elegant demeanor. The robes this woman wore were completely different from those of Lin Xi's fellow disciples, as well as the outer sect disciples.

  The Xian Dao sect is strict in its rules and regulations. Each level of disciple has their own attire. Registered disciples and formal disciples are completely different. Outer door disciples and inner door disciples also have their own distinctions.

  The only thing that all disciples have in common is that they wear Taoist robes, with the words "Shen" and "Xiao" on their chests as a symbol of their sect.

  However, the woman in front of him was not wearing a Taoist robe, but a white palace dress. Beautiful, elegant, floating, and majestic. Lin Xi's first impression was as if a fairy was coming towards him, with an air of nobility amidst her ethereal elegance.

  "Saintess!!"

  Lin Xi was taken aback, although he didn't know the name of the woman in front of him, he recognized her identity.

  In the Shén Xiāo Sect, only the Holy Son and Holy Daughter can wear such attire. They are like the crown prince and princess of the Xian Dao Sect, each one noble beyond words, with extraordinary power and influence, and already have a distinct difference from other disciples, not subject to the restrictions of attire.

  Lin Xi took a glance at the woman and then looked at Shangguan Yaoyue again, his heart violently shook for a moment:

  "Behind Shangguan Yaoyue, there was actually a saintess hiding!!"

  Uppercase Officer Yao Xue unexpectedly gained the favor of a Holy Maiden just after entering the sect!

  Lin Xi recalled the day he officially became a named disciple, Shangguan Yaoyue handed him "The Great World of Xian Dao". Lin Xi suddenly realized that there was such a holy girl who had taken notice of him. For Shangguan Yaoyue to obtain a complete copy of "The Great World of Xian Dao" would be as easy as turning her hand over!

  "Sister, sorry about this, I forgot to introduce you. This is Lin Xi, the one I told you about."

  The sound of Shangguan Yuxue's voice came into his ears.

  Hearing the voice behind her, Yu Xue suddenly realized that she had been so focused on talking to Lin Xi that she had forgotten about her senior sister. Despite her usual calm and composed nature, at this moment, she couldn't help but feel a flush rise to her cheeks, as if they were on fire.

  However, Xiao Yao was not one to be trifled with and quickly calmed down. She pointed at the palace-dressed beauty behind her and said to Lin Xi:

  "Lin Xi, this is Qinglian Shijie!"

  "You're Lin Xi, aren't you?"

  The woman in palace attire gazed at Lin Xi with beautiful eyes, sizing him up for a few moments, seemingly amused.

  "Yao Xue mentioned to me that you're quite impressive. During the Trial of the Gate, everyone uses every trick in the book, sparing no effort. Yet, you actually gave up the opportunity and let Yao Xue escape."

  Lin Xi has seen his senior sister.

  Lin Xi bowed and said calmly:

  "Sister Shī was wrong to praise me, the Trial Gate's matter originally arose because of me, and Yáo Xuě only fell into danger because of me. Moreover, in the end, we had no choice but to do it this way."

  Qinglian Holy Maiden didn't say a word, only giving a faint smile. Lin Xi felt that this holy maiden seemed to have an extremely strong interest in him, and it wasn't just because of his performance at the Trial Gate during the Immortal Dao assessment.

  "Lin Xi, you don't know. During this time, I followed Qinglian Shijie and completed several tasks. At that time, I originally wanted to call you to go with me together. Unfortunately, you weren't there. Now, I've even obtained the Tongluo Grass and broken through the bottleneck, look!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue's body swayed, and a thick, majestic aura burst forth, sweeping across the sky and overturning mountains and seas. It broke out of her body, circled around once, transformed into an air wall, and enveloped her within.

  "Haha, Lin Xi, didn't expect that, did you? During the Immortal Dao assessment, I could only escape. But now, my cultivation is higher than yours!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue burst out laughing, her innocent and mischievous expression revealing her extreme joy.

  "How's that? Didn't expect it, did you? But don't worry, from now on, I'll cover for you when we're doing tasks!"

  Shangguan Yaoyue burst out laughing and patted her shoulder, with a look that said "I'm being very generous".
