Immortality Starts With Diligence(Xianxia Litrpg)

15. Deserted Temple And Old Taoist

"Nine Shadow Saber Technique hasn't improved much."

Lin Fei glanced at the system panel. He had just used the Nine Shadow Saber Technique to kill the cloaked man, who was a Body Refining Fourth Level expert.

However, the progress of the Nine Shadow Saber Technique had barely improved. This indicated that after reaching transcendence with the Nine Shadow Saber Technique, further improvement would be very difficult.

This was normal.

For any martial art, Once it reaches transcendence, to go a step further and reach perfection couldn't be achieved simply through hard work. It also relied on opportunities, good fortune, and other factors.

At this moment, Bai Ying and Tie Shan were anxiously waiting. They didn't know Lin Fei's situation.

"He's back!"

Suddenly, Bai Ying's sharp eyes noticed a familiar figure on the road ahead.

It was Lin Fei returning!

"Young Master, are you alright?"

Bai Ying and Tie Shan hurriedly approached, examining Lin Fei up and down.

Lin Fei smiled and said, "It's done. I've dealt with Nine Rings Mountain. From now on, the Lin Family's caravan can pass through Nine Rings Mountain without paying any silver or being obstructed."

"What? Really? That's like challenging the entire Nine Rings Mountain!"

Bai Ying's eyes revealed a look of astonishment. Others might not know the difficulty of dealing with Nine Rings Mountain, but Bai Ying was well aware.

Even when Bai Ying's grandfather escorted caravans, he had to pay silver to the Nine Rings Mountain bandit groups, only then could they pass through safely.

And now?

Lin Fei went up the mountain and accomplished the feat that the Lin Family's caravan wouldn't even need to pay silver from now on.

"Alright, let's go. Su City is still far away, and there are other bandits to clear along the way..."

Lin Fei didn't become complacent. He was very clear that Nine Rings Mountain was just the first stop.

Days passed by.

The caravan had been on the road for four consecutive days. They were getting closer to Su City.

Along the way, Lin Fei was almost invincible. All the bandits were dealt with by Lin Fei. Moreover, Lin Fei had obtained the bandits' promises that they would never trouble the Lin Family's caravan again.

Furthermore, Lin Fei even gained a title. It was called Fast Saber Asura!

The title Asura actually referred to the fact that Lin Fei had killed many people. His saber was always bloodthirsty!

This was also a characteristic of the Nine Shadow Saber Technique. The saber was just too fast. If one couldn't block it, death was inevitable.

Gaining a reputation in the world of martial arts was, in fact, a kind of honor for martial artists.

Many Nine Profound Sect disciples ventured out into the world. If they didn't have any reputation, they were probably not very strong.

On this day, the sky was gradually darkening. However, they wouldn't be able to make it to Su City in time.

"Up ahead is an abandoned temple. Let's spend the night there and head to Su City tomorrow."

Lin Fei now had absolute prestige within the caravan. When he spoke, everyone naturally complied. So, the caravan members came to rest in the abandoned temple.

Surprisingly, there were people inside the temple. An old man in a gray Taoist robe. And a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child who looked quite clever.

But what was strange was that behind the old man were five burly men wearing black cloaks, with their faces obscured and an ominous aura about them.

They seemed like guards but didn't quite look like it. There was a faint scent of sandalwood in the temple.

Lin Fei was about to speak. At this moment, Bai Ying's face changed drastically, and he shouted, "Quick, hold your breath! The sandalwood is problematic, retreat!"

As soon as Bai Ying's words fell, Lin Fei almost instantly withdrew without any hesitation.

The others who were slow to retreat collapsed to the ground. They were completely powerless, finding it difficult to even move.

Lin Fei was shocked and immediately asked, "What's going on?"

Bai Ying, still somewhat shaken, said solemnly, "My father once warned us to be cautious and careful when encountering monks and Taoists in the world of martial arts. If there is an unusual fragrance, immediately hold your breath and keep your distance. I didn't expect that the sandalwood would actually be poisonous..."

Lin Fei's face darkened. This was the experience of Old Master Bai, who had ventured out into the world. Obviously, the person who poisoned the sandalwood was the old Taoist in the temple.

"Archers."

Lin Fei called for the archers in the caravan. Arrows were aimed at the old Taoist and others inside the temple.

"Where did you wild Taoists come from, daring to poison people in the temple?" Lin Fei shouted loudly at the people inside the temple.

"Swish."

The old Taoist in the temple suddenly opened his eyes. There was a faint trace of blood in his eyes.

"Heh heh, you guys are cautious. However, since you've come, you might as well all stay."

The old Taoist waved his hand. Immediately, four burly figures rushed out from behind him.

"Whoosh."

These four burly figures walked out of the temple with big strides and charged toward Lin Fei and the others.

"Fire!"

At Lin Fei's command. Arrows rained down on the four men like a downpour.

"Clang clang clang."

However, when the arrows hit the four men there was actually the sound of metal clashing as if they were shooting at a sheet of iron.

The arrows fell to the ground from the four men's bodies. These arrows had no effect on the four of them.

"Hard martial arts?"

Lin Fei was slightly surprised in his heart. Hard martial arts were difficult to master. But now, four hard martial arts masters appeared all of a sudden.

It was strange.

The escorts also drew their sabers and rushed forward to block the four men.

These four men were not fast. They even seemed somewhat stiff. But each punch and kick had immense power.

"Boom."

A moment of carelessness and someone's chest was crushed, and it seemed like he wouldn't survive.

"Clang."

When the escorts' sabers struck these men's bodies, it was like cutting a wall. They couldn't cut through or hurt these people at all.

"Whoosh."

Without any hesitation, Lin Fei suddenly pulled out his saber from his back.
