Fatty was obviously a little flustered when he heard this voice. He looked up subconsciously but realized that he didn\'t know the person in front of him at all.
Lin Xiu stared at Jin Xin with a smile that wasn\'t a smile, then wiped his face gently and took off his mask.
How could Jin Xin not understand what was going on when he saw this familiar figure? He immediately shrunk his head and looked like he would do whatever Lin Xiu wanted to hit or scold him.
To Jin Xin\'s surprise, Lin Xiu didn\'t have this intention at all and sat down directly opposite him.
Jin Xin still remembered that Lin Xiu\'s swordsmanship had really amazed him outside Jing Zhou City. Even after so many years, his own cultivation had improved significantly and he was even praised as a rare cultivation genius in Ming Kong Temple, but the fear in his heart didn\'t lessen at all.
The waiter quickly brought the steaming hot food over. Lin Xiu didn\'t care about Jin Xin and poured himself a cup and drank it in one gulp.
Anyway, he was just going to be beaten up to vent his anger. Jin Xin looked at the meat that he had been thinking about for a long time. He swallowed his saliva and didn't care so much anymore. He quickly picked up the chopsticks and put the delicacies into his mouth quickly and efficiently.
"Eat slowly."
Lin Xiu frowned. This monk, who had won the admiration of countless people in Cang He City, was actually acting like a starving ghost. It really made him feel a little embarrassed.
Jin Xin swallowed the food in his mouth and said vaguely, "You don\'t know how miserable I\'ve been all these years. I\'ve been eating vegetarian food for a few years and it\'s so bland. Don\'t worry about me, this is really delicious, really delicious."
Lin Xiu sat there quietly and watched Jin Xin, who was reincarnated as a starving ghost, sweep the table full of food and wine into his stomach. He couldn\'t help but burst out laughing.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign place was considered a great joy in life.
The two of them finished the wine in their cups and began to talk about what happened after they left.
After the conversation, Lin Xiu finally understood.
The eminent monk who had taken Jin Xing away was actually a powerful senior of the Mingkong Temple. When he was traveling in his youth, he was ambushed by a demonic sect, causing him to be seriously injured. In the end, Jin Xin's ancestor saved him, and from then on, they formed a sizable relationship.
Before the great elder left, he had left a jade slip for Jin Xin's family. He said that if the family encountered a problem that they couldn't solve, they only needed to shatter the jade slip. Then, even if he was thousands of miles away, he would immediately know and turn around to help.
At that time, the people of the Jinxin family only thought that this monk was just a person who was wandering around in dire straits. They didn't take it to heart. However, in order to make the monk feel at ease, they carefully put the jade slip away.
When the family finally faced a calamity, Jin Xin's father finally recalled this matter. He smashed the jade slip and the family quietly waited for the monk from back then to arrive.
But this powerful senior happened to not be in the temple at that time and had gone to the extremely distant Western Xuan Region. Even if he knew about the matter, he couldn't split himself.
When he rushed back to the Eastern Xuan Region, he immediately rushed to the Guiyuan Jade and tried to find the people of the Jin family to see if he could make it in time.
When he arrived at the original family, he found that everything had already changed owners. After asking around, he found out that the Jin family had long been destroyed.
Feeling guilty, the powerful senior didn't believe that his benefactor's lineage would end, so he spent close to 20 years walking the land of the Guiyuan Region, trying to find the descendants of the Jin family.
His efforts paid off. After asking around, he finally found Jin Xing outside the capital. He was overjoyed and directly brought him back to the Mingkong Temple in order to give the descendant of the Jin family enough protection.
The powerful senior knew that in order to survive in this world, one must have an extremely strong cultivation as support, so he let Jin Xin enter the Mingkong Temple and carefully teach him.
What he never expected was that although this young man in his twenties did not have much talent in the path of cultivation, his ability to comprehend the Buddhist Dharma was unparalleled.
In just less than three years, Jin Xin's cultivation of Buddhism advanced by leaps and bounds at an astonishing speed. In the end, he successfully entered the middle realm and became a legend in the entire Eastern Xuan Region.
The two sat there and talked with confidence. Lin Xiu also roughly talked about his experience.
When Jin Xin heard that Lin Xiu actually had a Heaven Yuan Realm monster under his command, his eyeballs fell to the ground.
Although he knew very early on that the young man in front of him was extremely strong, otherwise, he wouldn't dare to travel alone with a sword. But when he came into contact with some things about cultivation, he also understood how difficult the path of cultivation was.
To be able to subdue a Human Essence Realm monster when he was only at the Earth Yuan Realm, it was enough to show his talent.
Originally, he had this thought. If the two of them could meet again, with his cultivation far behind Lin Xiu, that scene would be extremely exciting.
But now, it didn't seem to make sense at all.
Being able to reach the Human Yuan Realm at this age was enough for Jin Xin to be proud, but after seeing Lin Xiu, the pride in his heart immediately disappeared. It was really infuriating to compare oneself to others.
As for why Jin Xin came to Canghe City, it was related to a secret.
The fat man's eyes kept rolling around, but when he realized that most of the people in the inn were just ordinary people, he felt relieved.
He lowered his voice to a volume that only the two of them could hear and said to Lin Xiu, "There will be a genius battle in the Eastern Xuan Region in the near future. They will select the most talented people and focus on nurturing them. I don't know the specific reason, but in order to let me enter, the temple discussed and thought that although I have my current cultivation, I still have too little experience in killing, so they let me leave the mountain."
"Genius battle?"
Lin Xiu fell into deep thought. If he had guessed correctly, all of this was caused by the Netherworld Palace. Even a powerful force like the Eastern Xuan Region would feel a wave of pressure when facing the once most evil sect in the continent.
The so-called genius battle should be to give the young people on the continent a chance to grow, so that they could have more confidence in the future war.
Lin Xiu told Jin Xin all his guesses, and the latter's heart was thumping non-stop. How would he know such a complicated inside story?
The two of them chatted for a while and agreed to meet at the teleportation array around noon the next day, then they went their separate ways.
Walking on the wide street, Lin Xiu had a lot on his mind.
The situation was far more serious than he imagined. He originally thought that it would take at least a hundred years before he would face the troubles brought by the Netherworld Palace, but as his cultivation continued to improve, all kinds of problems were placed in front of him.
Compared to the life and death of the entire continent, the vanguard Mu family's rescue of his mother was somewhat insignificant. But the two did not conflict, and everything was supported by an extremely powerful cultivation.
Lin Xiu thought about it and decided to bring Jin Xin to the territory of the Mu family in the Eastern Xuan Region tomorrow to try to rescue his mother, then look for some opportunities to see if he could improve his cultivation in the shortest time possible.
Time passed quickly. After Jin Xin returned to the City Lord's mansion, he said a few words to the City Lord, then accepted a generous gift. His face was smiling so widely that it almost reached the back of his head.
The City Lord of Cang He City wanted to keep Jin Xin so that he could leave a good impression in front of this almighty disciple of the Mingkong Temple, which would also benefit him in the future. But when he heard that Jin Xin had important matters to attend to, he immediately dispelled this idea.
During this time, the City Lord's domineering daughter was also a little submissive when she saw Jin Xin.
A rich girl like her, because she had a powerful father as her backing, often did things without any scruples.
However, all of this depended on who she was facing. Jin Xin's background was much deeper than hers, and even her father could only nod and bow in front of him.
This girl, who made all the people in Cang He City angry but did not dare to say anything, behaved exceptionally obediently in front of Jin Xin.
However, the fat man did not take all of this to heart. He did not have any thoughts about the young girl. After entering the Mingkong Temple, he had already come to the realization that he would devote all of his efforts to the embrace of the great Buddha in this life.
Lin Xiu had already changed into a new mask and stood quietly at the teleportation array, waiting for Fatty Jin Xin's arrival.
After the two met, with the token that Jin Xin obtained from the City Lord of Cang He City, he directly stepped into the teleportation array and headed to the Mu Clan's territory without spending a single spirit stone.
Fatty was indeed worthy of being the most famous Buddhist sacred land in the Eastern Xuan Region. After cultivating for so long, he had a simple understanding of the big and small forces in the domain.
The Mu Clan had the blood of an ancient almighty flowing in their bodies, so their strength naturally could not be underestimated.
According to Jin Xin, there were a total of nine great forces in the Eastern Xuan Region.
One sect, one temple, three sects, and four families.
The four great clans referred to the four great clans that possessed the power of a bloodline. Although their strength was slightly inferior to the other few great sects, their peak strength was not inferior to them.
Because of the bloodline, the four families did not have any bottlenecks in the early stages of cultivation. But the power of the bloodline had also become a difficult problem for the clansmen to climb to the highest realm.
Ordinary humans walked on the path of cultivation step by step, and their foundation was often extremely solid. When their strength reached the Heavenly Yuan Realm, the difficulty of breaking through was often slightly easier than the people of the four families.
But even so, in the eyes of many forces, the four families were still a suffocating behemoth.
The ancestors of the four families had an extremely deep friendship, so they had formed an offensive and defensive alliance. Often, they would rise or fall together. Ordinary people did not dare to easily provoke them, otherwise, their end would be extremely miserable.
When Jin Xin spoke about this, he was clearly beaming with joy and in high spirits. This was because the Mingkong Temple that he came from was not inferior to the four great clans in the slightest.
The current abbot was said to have reached the peak of the Upper Realm. His cultivation had reached the peak in his life, and he was omnipotent.
But he was still a little curious about Lin Xiu inquiring about the four families, and kindly reminded him: "When I went down the mountain this time, the elders in the temple repeatedly warned me not to use the temple's name. You are so concerned about the four families, don't tell me that you have a grudge with them."
Lin Xiu's long and narrow eyes narrowed, and then his voice was cold: "It's not that I have a grudge with them, it's just that they don't want me to have an easy time."
… …
The two people who walked out of the teleportation array didn't have any purpose at the moment, so they found a relatively remote inn and temporarily stayed there.
During this period, Jin Xin kept persuading Lin Xiu that if there were any grievances, he might as well put it down first and wait until his strength was strong to a certain extent before taking revenge.
Lin Xiu did not comment on this.
He could not forget who it was that made his father live a life worse than death for more than ten years, suffering from internal injuries day and night. He could not forget who it was that made his family break up, causing him to not have a mother by his side for his entire childhood.
No matter how powerful the Mu family was, in order to reunite with his family, Lin Xiu had to pluck the hair of a tiger no matter what price he had to pay.
After his persuasion was fruitless, Jin Xin slowly gave up. He knew that Lin Xiu was different from him. His cultivation came from killing in the sea of blood, ordinary people could not change his mind at all.
However, the friendship that the two had formed at that time was not completely fake. Jin Xin secretly decided that if Lin Xiu and the Mu family were to have a conflict, to the point of no return, he would protect Lin Xiu no matter what. Even if he had to expose his identity, he would not hesitate.
Three days later.
In the inn, there was a huge commotion suddenly. It was said that the pearl of the Mu family was going to choose a son-in-law.
For a time, many young talents had fiery eyes. If they could marry into the Mu family, with their powerful forces, they would definitely be able to provide cultivation resources. It could be said that they had reached the sky in one step.
Everyone was secretly looking forward to it, and the thick smell of gunpowder was about to break out.
