Chapter 29: The Effect of the tongming daoxin foundation establishment pill

After her Foundation Establishment, Shen Xuanyin was in high spirits and headed straight to Granny Jinhua's Immortal Cave to share the good news.

She pushed open the doors of the Immortal Cave and blurted out:

"Old thing! I have successfully completed my Foundation Establishment! Thanks to the crappy spirit materials you bestowed upon me, they barely managed to fill the gaps between my teeth…"

Shen Xuanyin immediately covered her mouth and shook her head continuously, wondering how she had subconsciously blurted out the truth.

Granny Jinhua frowned, saying, "Xuanyin, you…"

Shen Xuanyin's mouth was faster than her brain: "Aiya Master, that's not what I meant. I mean, why does your face look even more like a moldy baked sesame cake? You could probably plant spirit plants in those pockmarks!"

Granny Jinhua's face turned abruptly pale-green, and her pressure burst forth: "Audacious!"

Shen Xuanyin hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Master, I, I, I, I didn't mean that!"

She respectfully said, "Please don't be angry! I didn't mean to say that it's normal for you to have such a big temper after being stuck at the False Core stage for over eighty years! After all, who in the Inner Sect is willing to serve Granny Jinhua with such a face full of pockmarks…"

As soon as the four characters "Granny Jinhua" were uttered, the temperature in the Immortal Cave plummeted sharply.

The withered hand in Granny Jinhua's sleeve clenched tightly, making cracking sounds: "What did you call me?"

Shen Xuanyin wore a "sincere" expression: "Everyone calls you that! Look at you, you are old, ugly, and your cultivation is low. If it weren't for having no other choice, who would become your Disciple…"

Before she could finish her sentence, Granny Jinhua violently swung her sleeve robe!

"Boom——!"

Shen Xuanyin was smashed away by the boundless spiritual power and crashed into the stone wall, the sound of her ribs breaking clearly audible.

Poison dripped from the depths of Granny Jinhua's eyes: "What a white-eyed wolf you are! Starting today, you and I no longer have the ties of master and Disciple!"

Shen Xuanyin collapsed on the ground, coughing up blood, wanting to say "I didn't mean that!", but what came out of her mouth became the truth in her heart: "Broken well! Big pancake-faced old she-devil, full of pockmarks, this Fairy wouldn't want to serve you anyway."

Granny Jinhua summoned a rope Spiritual Artifact, binding Shen Xuanyin tightly, and said gloomily, "You unbridled thing, I punish you to go to the Fire Spirit Mine to dig coal!"

With the ropes tied around her body, Shen Xuanyin's eyes revealed a dazed expression as she said, "Old pockmark, how did you know that this Fairy loves bondage play the most."

Panic flashed in Shen Xuanyin's eyes, and she didn't dare to say another word.

This little secret had been hidden in her heart for many years, and she had never planned to voice it out.

She didn't know what was going on either; it was as if she had been cursed with something, where whatever she thought in her heart would subconsciously be spoken out of her mouth.

This venomous little mouth completely angered Granny Jinhua, who slapped two of Shen Xuanyin's teeth out, picked up a rag at random, and stuffed it into Shen Xuanyin's mouth, which finally quieted her down.

…

Lin Mo had been following the news about Shen Xuanyin these past few days, and he even felt a little regretful for casually selling a Foundation Establishment Pill to the other party.

In case the other party targeted him again after her Foundation Establishment, he would suffer a huge loss.

When he learned that after her Foundation Establishment, because of her unbridled backtalk to Granny Jinhua, she was ultimately punished to go dig Ore.

Lin Mo was blooming with joy inside; from now on, he finally wouldn't have to see that old Indian turtledove Shen Xuanyin in the Outer Sect anymore.

He had already guessed seven or eight parts of the effects of the tongming daoxin foundation establishment pill, but just in case, he had still been secretly following Shen Xuanyin these past few days.

For several consecutive days, Lin Mo finally confirmed the side effect of the tongming daoxin foundation establishment pill: as long as one consumed this Medicinal Pill to complete Foundation Establishment, whatever they thought in their hearts would uncontrollably be spoken out.

Lies do not hurt people, but the truth is a sharp sword.

After eating the Medicinal Pill, Shen Xuanyin was thus expelled from her master's Sect by Granny Jinhua.

Lin Mo took a deep breath, pondered the pros and cons in his mind, and finally returned to the Waste Pill Room.

In fact, the side effect of this Foundation Establishment Pill was quite easy to resolve; as long as he went into seclusion for half a month and Lin Mo resolutely refused to step out of the Waste Pill Room, it would be fine once he endured past the stage of side effects.

Meanwhile, the Inner Sect of the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect was already in an uproar with arguments.

However, those participating in the argument were just the most ordinary executive Elders; since Shen Xuanyin had already been banished to dig Ore, the Outer Sect naturally still needed a new Elder.

Back then, Granny Jinhua took Shen Xuanyin as a Disciple precisely so she could control the resources of the Outer Sect.

Although the Outer Sect Disciples were poor, these Disciples with low cultivation were also quite cowardly.

Finding any random excuse to deduct a little Spirit Stone from each person would still net hundreds of Spirit Stones every month.

For the sake of gathering wealth, these executive Elders all wanted to prop up their own confidants to ascend to the position.

Before these people could argue out a result, the personnel transfer orders issued down level by level from the Inner Sect had already arrived.

The Sect Master personally issued an order appointing the Outer Sect Disciple Lin Mo of the Waste Pill Room on Danding Peak to become the new Outer Sect Elder.

…

The one responsible for notifying him was Shen Xuanyin's master, Granny Jinhua; usually, it was also she who assigned tasks to the Outer Sect Disciples based on the needs of the Inner Sect's eight peaks.

Lin Mo was preparing to go into seclusion in the Waste Pill Room when Granny Jinhua found him, carrying a new identity token and Elder clothing.

Hearing this news at first, Lin Mo looked uncertain: "Elder? Are you sure you didn't find the wrong person? From now on, I am the Outer Sect Elder?"

Lin Mo pointed at his own nose, looking entirely disbelieving.

Granny Jinhua said sternly: "That's right, this is the identity token, and this is the Elder uniform. Relying on the identity token, you can also reside in the Immortal Cave originally left behind by Shen Xuanyin."

Granny Jinhua did not give Lin Mo a good expression; if she had a choice, she wouldn't have been willing to let Lin Mo be elected as the Outer Sect Elder.

But it was a personal appointment made by the Sect Master; what could an insignificant executive Elder like her do?

Granny Jinhua had another piece of good news: "You should prepare first. One month later, the Sect will hold the Phantom Trial. This time, the Outer Sect can also participate, and the top three will be rewarded with the Sect's supreme treasure, the azure wood spiritual liquid."

After saying this, Granny Jinhua didn't want to spare Lin Mo another look; her heart had already been utterly broken by the previous Outer Sect Elder.

Carrying her face full of pockmarks, she left without looking back, as if she had made up some sort of determination to never get involved in the rights and wrongs of the Outer Sect again.

The Phantom Trial was projected by the high-level figures of the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect using great Formation and Divine Ability to project phantom images of Yao Beasts; after Disciples entered the Formation, the more Yao Beasts they killed, the higher their ranking would be.

The top ten would receive extra rewards, and the most precious one was the exclusive reward for the top three: the azure wood spiritual liquid.

The Azure Spirit Divine Tree was a spirit wood cultivated by the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect since its founding, which produced a small amount of azure wood spiritual liquid every month.

After consuming the azure wood spiritual liquid, one's mind and eyes would become clear, and obscure Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities could often be learned instantly upon study.

There was also one most important effect: the azure wood spiritual liquid can strengthen a Cultivator's Divine Sense.

The cultivation of Divine Sense was even more difficult than the cultivation of Realms, and Spirit Medicines that could enhance Divine Sense were even fewer and farther between.

If it weren't for the fact that the azure wood spiritual liquid was only effective for Cultivators at or below the Foundation Establishment Stage, this item could never have fallen to their Outer Sect Disciples.

One good news after another made Lin Mo's head spin with excitement.

Lin Mo felt wonderful inside; having a Sect Master as a Dao Companion was simply awesome, so being a minor official in the Outer Sect wasn't that a piece of cake.
