Heart-cleansing Hall

Zhu Laosan stood there like a majestic mountain, a long shadow cast on the ground.

His messy beard was like wild grass on his dark face. His bronze muscle was as strong as hard rock and his hands were large and veined, giving out an unshakable momentum even though he just stood still without any movement.

At the first sight of Zhu Laosan, Lin Xun felt a shock in his heart and an inexpressible feeling of oppression.

It seemed that Zhu Laosan was a king of war who had just stepped out of the bloody battlefield. His unique temperament of bloodthirsty couldn’t be concealed at all.

He was terribly strong!

He must have reached Tao Insight Realm at least!

Lin Xun was surprised. He didn’t expect that the great man who came to repay kindness would be such a powerful one.

While Lin Xun looked at Zhu Laosan, Zhu Laosan also raised his head and looked at Lin Xun. His face was expressionless and his eyes were calm. But Lin Xun felt a sharp pain all over at Zhu Laosan’s single glance!

Fortunately, just a moment later, Zhu Laosan took back his sight and said in a muffled voice, “My name is Zhu Laosan. Five hundred and seventy-six years ago, I was in a desperate situation when the Empire attacked the Dark Army for the 19th time. Fortunately, I was saved from death with the help of your grandfather Lin Daochen.”

The dull voice resounded through the spacious hall, “I swore that I would repay his grace of saving my life!”

Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped talking and fell silent.

Had he finished?

Lin Xun was stunned and waited for a while. But Zhu Laosan had no intention to continue, so Lin Xun couldn’t help saying, “My grandfather had already died, you are late.”

“It’s not too late,” said Zhu Laosan, “You are his grandson, I should treat you as my benefactor instead.”

To tell the truth, it was undoubtedly an exciting thing for Lin Xun, who was extremely short of manpower, to have such a strongman come to repay his kindness.

But he couldn’t agree it in casual.

“More than ten years ago… there was a bloody affair in Lin Family, all my father and relatives were died. Why didn’t you appear at that time if you want to repay? ”

Lin Xun’s eyes were deep. He looked directly at Zhu Laosan, waiting for his answer.

At this moment, Lin Xun was acutely aware that an undetectable emotion flashed through his tough eyes. He seemed to suffer pains of blaming himself.

But immediately, he restore calmness and said, “When I hurried back to the Forbidden City from the battlefield, the murderers had disappeared.”

He didn’t explain much.

He was like an indifferent rock that others couldn’t pry into his inner emotions and thoughts.

However, Lin Xun understood what he meant instantly.

After the bloody incident, everyone thought that people of their linage had died. In addition, the enemy was from the mysterious Clan of Heaven-accessing Sword. Under such circumstances, even if Zhu Laosan wanted to repay, he could not do it at all.

“I just returned to Heart-cleansing Peak yesterday. How do you recognize my identity?”

Lin Xun suddenly asked.

“I heard it from the son of Fortune God Shi,” said Zhu Laosan.

“Is it Shi Yu?”

Lin Xun was stunned. This answer subsided his doubts. He had made up his mind to take a chance to ask Shi Yu about the origin of Zhu Laosan someday.

Lin Xun asked again, “How are you going to repay me?”

Zhu Laosan answered, “I only know how to fight. You can take me as your protector. I will leave until I feel that I have paid it off.”

Lin Xun nodded and said, “What can I do for you?”

Zhu Laosan replied, “Daily meals are enough for me. I will not interfere in your life. I only appear when you need me.”

Lin Xun finally dared to confirm that Zhu Laosan really came to repay his grandfather’s kindness. He couldn’t help feeling moved.

Although his grandfather, who he had not met before, had already gone, the blessings and influences his grandfather had left in those years continued up to today. It could be imagined how high his prestige and reputation were in those years!

Zhu Laosan was a wonderful man too. He remembered the kindness for so many years. Who would be as persistent as him if this thing happened to others?

This was the real man!

He believed in his promise and practiced all the words he had said!

Lin Zhong sent Zhu Laosan out of the hall. He came back after a while and reported, “Young master, I have arranged his residence.”

Lin Xun said with thoughts, “What do you think of this man, Granddad Zhong?”

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhong said quickly, “This is a Tao Insight Realm man. He must have been fighting in the battlefield all the year round so he is full of fierce killing momentum. I think there’s no problem in his words and deeds.”

Lin Xun suddenly asked, “Can you defeat him?”

“Er…”

This question was unexpected for Lin Zhong so he was stunned and replied unnaturally, “Young master, I am an old servant. I can’t compete with that strong man.”

Lin Xun said with a smile, “Granddad Zhong, I can’t detect the strength of Zhu Laosan, but you can judge accurately that he is a Tao Insight Realm strongman. This is a little strange.”

Lin Zhong wryly smiled, “Young master, you misunderstand me. I have followed the patriarch for many years and saw many Tao Insight Realm practitioners. So I could easily tell Zhu Laosan’s realm by dint of my experience.”

Lin Xun sighed then, “I got it. I will not ask you anymore. Go down.”

Lin Zhong wanted to explain more, but finally he held back his words and turned away.

“Bronze Charming Shen Jinglun, who took the third place of Nation Test 60 years ago, must be a dazzling strongman that even Vulture has heard of him. If Granddad Zhong is really Shen Jinglun, how can he become like this?”

As Lin Xun thought, he walked up to the third floor of the hall.

The third floor of Heart-cleansing Hall was the practicing chamber specially set for the patriach of Lin Family. In the past, this place was like a forbidden area. Only the patriarch of Lin Family could enjoy it.

But now, after mastering Seal of Heart-cleansing, Lin Xun was able to use it at will.

When he arrived, he saw an ancient bronze door in front of him. The surface of the bronze door was imprinted with old dense cloud pattern.

It was the first time Lin Xun had come here since he entered Heart-cleansing Peak.

Humming

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xun took out Seal of Heart-cleansing. He poured his gang spirit in it. A purple light suddenly came out of seal and rushed into the bronze door.

Immediately, a circle of obscure and boundless waves appeared on the surface of the bronze door, waking it up from the silence.

And it silently opened in front of Lin Xun.

Outside Heart-cleansing Hall, Lin Zhong was cleaning up the weeds beside the mountain road. When the bronze door was opened, his bent body was slightly stiff. Suddenly, he looked up at Heart-cleansing Hall from afar.

There was a glimmer of expectation, hesitation and inexplicable complexity in his expression.

Lin Zhong sighed and took back his sight after a while.

…

In fact, the practicing room was no different from a palace.

When the bronze door opened, Lin Xun saw a magnificent, solemn and spacious palace.

It was empty inside. Lin Xun felt himself so small when he walked in it.

Behind him, the bronze door closed silently. For a moment, he seemed to be isolated from the world.

“This is the place where only patriarch of Lin Family can enter and practice?”

Lin Xun looked around. He couldn’t find any decorations. There was only a futon in the center of the hall.

Lin Xun couldn’t help suspecting that after the bloody event more than ten years ago, even the secret chamber used for practicing was ransacked.

Otherwise, how could it be so simple here?

After a pause, Lin Xun could not help sighing. Would it be useful to think about such thing again?

He went straight to the futon in the center of the hall and sat down with his legs crossed.

Although there were a lot of things that must be solved, Lin Xun didn’t dare to slow down his practicing speed. He had decided that he would devote all his free time to practice.

In order to speed up the promotion, he had even made enough preparations!

He took a deep breath and took out a white and clean ginseng with many fine roots.

It was about 15 centimeters long and thick as a wax. It looked like a sleeping infant. But it had a refreshing smell of medicine. Lin Xun’s spirit became energetic and his soul was eased by it.

This was Infant-shaped Snow Ginseng!

It was a kind of magic medicine that could drive all practitioners crazy. It was invaluable for practitioners to promote their cultivation and improve their realm.

Generally speaking, such elixir could only be fully used and absorbed by the practitioners of high realms.

After all, ordinary practitioners couldn’t bear the huge power contained in this elixir if they swallow it.

Lin Xun also knew this, but he didn’t plan to swallow the whole Infant-shaped Snow Ginseng at once.

He prepared a suet jade bottle first. So he carefully pulled off several fibrous roots of the ginseng. Then he immediately put the rest part into the bottle, and firmly sealed it.

This could help avoid the medicinal power of Infant-shaped Snow Ginseng from escaping.

Lin Xun put a strand of roots into his mouth at last.

Although he was careful, he underestimated the terrorist power of Infant-shaped Snow Ginseng.

When a wisp of roots came down, Lin Xun felt that there were molten lava suddenly exploding in his body!

For a moment, the hot and rolling medicinal material rushed through his meridians and apertures like a runaway horse, producing a scorching and tingling sensation.

Lin Xun’s skin suddenly turned red. He seemed to swallow a stove so that his body turned scorching red and white fog was rising around his body.

This medicine was terrible!

Just a wisp of roots made Lin Xun feel his body was almost bursting out.

His foundation of Earth-gang Realm was steady enough to easily crush the strongman in Heaven-gang Realm!

But now, with this solid and incomparable foundation, he still felt hard to digest all the medicine!

It was too late to regret. Lin Xun snorted and clenched his teeth. He ran Nature Insight & Sprit-devour Scripture with all his strength.

At the same time, Windstorm Mill in his body rotated quickly.
