C2443 Rumors

In this world, there was such a person. When you first met him, you might not feel that such a person was that outstanding. You might even feel that it was inconceivable that such a person had such status and strength.

However, the more you interact with him and chat with him, the more you will have a favorable impression of him. You will even feel that your previous understanding of him was too preposterous and ridiculous, and even more so respect him.

And Lin Bai was precisely such a person. This was also one of the conclusions that Zang Tan came to after interacting with Lin Bai for a long time.

When he first met Lin Bai, Elder Zu Tan actually didn't have much goodwill towards him. In fact, because of Du Ruoruo and Xin Yi's teasing, he still had a little bit of malice towards Lin Bai.

However, as Lin Bai mentioned that he could resolve the leakage of the Earth Fire, the number of interactions between Lin Bai and Elder Seng Tan increased. It was only after these interactions that Elder Seng Tan finally understood how laughable his previous thoughts had been.

In the beginning, he had always felt that Lin Bai's cultivation was only a result of a lucky chance. Although his methods were not ordinary, when he was young and famous, he had always been proud and arrogant, and always kept people at a distance.

However, what he did not expect was that he could not detect any arrogance from Lin Bai. Furthermore, he was extremely humble. Regardless of what he said or what he did, they were all extremely polite. When conversing with him, they were neither servile nor overbearing.

Most importantly, Lin Bai's meticulousness, calmness in handling matters, and ingenuity in his arrangements could be said to be one of the most outstanding younger generation members that Elder Geng Tan had ever seen. These discoveries made Elder Sang understand that he had misunderstood Lin Bai far too much in the past. The reason this young man had his current level of cultivation was indeed due to his extraordinary luck, but it was definitely not limited to just this.

With his current cultivation and fame, his experiences and strength were only a part of it, but most of them were still just people.

As they got closer and closer to each other, Elder Zhu Tan felt a lot of regret in her heart. He regretted not discovering Lin Bai as soon as possible, regretted not contacting him in advance. Otherwise, if he could lure such a powerful person into Pill King Valley, why would he worry about Pill King Valley not being revived and not having a chance to shine.

However, Elder Zhu Tan knew that regardless of how much he regretted, in this current situation, if he wanted Lin Bai to join the Medicine Sovereign Valley, it would simply be wishful thinking. No matter what price he had to pay, there was no possibility of that happening.

And now, the only thing he could do was to try his best to fix the relationship with Lin Bai and increase this young man's favorable impression of Pill King Valley. Because as far as he was concerned, with Lin Bai's experience and mentality, his future was limitless. Such a rising star that no external forces could suppress, if he were to offend Lin Bai, would definitely be inauspicious.

In fact, it wasn't just Elder Santan. After this exchange of words, Lin Bai's opinion of Elder Santan had also increased by a great deal.

Ever since he had entered the underworld, the number of scheming, scheming, and scheming people that he had seen were simply innumerable. However, there were no such characters as Elder Sansa. As far as he was concerned, Elder Zang indeed viewed everything in the sect more than the sky, more than his own everything, and his mind was as simple as a virgin.

As the saying goes, the existence of Elder Zeng Tan was a 'pure man'. The so-called purity of mind referred to the simplicity of the mind. Once a person was certain of one thing, they would do their utmost to accomplish it and would absolutely not give up halfway. In the eyes of some people, such characters might seem foolish, but the accomplishments and actions of these people were destined to cause others to look up to them.

There weren't many good people in the hidden world, and a pure person was even rarer. To be able to meet one, how could he not befriend it?

With Elder Zhi Tan and Lin Bai's mutual admiration and understanding towards each other, as well as the matter of Lin Bai trying to calm the Earth Fire leaking out from Pill King Valley, his progress was exceptionally smooth and he was not restricted in any way.

Under Lin Bai's meticulous arrangements, for the past few days, the surrounding mountains of the Medicine Valley occasionally produced clear sounds akin to the roar of a dragon. It was like the beginning of spring thunder, causing one's heart to tremble.

Moreover, within this rumbling sound, there were countless mysterious auras of the Earth Vein that lingered around Pill King Valley. Although the people from the Medicine God Valley were unable to understand the deeper meaning behind Lin Bai's actions, they were able to see that the cauldron mountain, which had become restless ever since the second time Lin Bai set it up, had indeed become much calmer.

Under such a situation, many people from the Medicine Valley started to feel that it was only a matter of time before Lin Bai calmed down and let the mountain fires leak out his calamity.

However, it was as if there was an invisible undercurrent surging under a calm sea. Although the Medicine Sovereign Valley's current situation was extremely good, the disintegrating hearts had also become much more united. Many people were praising Lin Bai.

However, this did not mean that the disciples of the Medicine God Valley could all trust Lin Bai and had no doubts about him.

Especially in recent days, with the spread of this rumor, the doubts in the hearts of these people had increased significantly. Regardless of where Lin Bai went or what he was doing, he was always accompanied by a few looks of scrutiny.

The content of this rumor was actually very simple, and it was only a few questions. These questions were: Why would the leader of the Guiyang Valley suddenly die within the cave after Lin Bai entered the Medicine God Valley, why did the Earth Fire accidentally leak out after the death of the Guiyang Valley Master, and what was even weirder was why Lin Bai had the ability to resolve the Earth Fire leak out.

This rumor was exceptionally simple. It seemed as if it only linked together some of the weirdest things. However, if one were to carefully taste it, it would definitely cause others to ponder over it.

It was just as the rumors said, what made everyone in the Medicine Valley unable to understand was why the death of Gui Yang and the leakage of the Earth Fire seemed to be so strange, but why was it that Lin Bai had the ability to deal with the leakage of the Earth Fire.

With all of these factors linked together, it wasn't hard to suspect Lin Bai's motives. One couldn't help but to be curious. Could it be that all of this was something that Lin Bai had purposely arranged in order to form an alliance with Pill King Valley? It was because he felt that his conditions could not surpass the Spirit Spring Sect that he used such extreme methods to threaten the direction of Medicine Valley with the release of the Earth Fire.

When Lin Bai first heard this rumor, he had scoffed at it and felt that the person who spread it was simply too laughable. If he really had that kind of ability, then why would he negotiate an alliance with the Pill King Valley? After entering the valley, he directly caused the Earth Fire to leak out, allowing the place to burn down.

However, as time passed, Lin Bai gradually began to have a headache over this rumor. Especially after Leng Zhan Yan had heard the rumor, she had asked about whether Lin Bai had actually been to Cauldron Mountain that night before. Only then did Lin Bai realize the seriousness of the matter.

However, what made Lin Bai even more worried was that even though he scoffed at this rumor, there was simply no way to explain it. Not because of anything else, but because of the things that happened in the Medicine God Valley, it was simply too much of a coincidence.

Lin Bai entered the valley, and Guiyang died. The Earth Flame leaked out, and then Lin Bai took out a method to deal with the Earth Fire leaking out. If only one of these coincidences appeared, then it would make one feel that it was reasonable. However, with so many coincidences intertwined together, one couldn't help but wonder if these coincidences were secretly arranged by someone.

And if he did so, who would benefit the most? This answer was clear, there was no one else other than Lin Bai.

It was precisely because of this that the reverence in the eyes of the people from the Pill King Valley for Lin Bai gradually increased, becoming more and more suspicious and cautious. In fact, it even caused Leng Zhan Yan to feel a sense of curiosity.

With regards to this situation, Lin Bai felt extremely helpless. He was very clear that the person who spread this rumor would most likely belong to Du Ruo, Xin Yi, and Jiang Haoran, because only by discrediting themselves would they benefit.

And by doing this, they were definitely thinking of nothing else. They were just carrying a mindset of not being able to get what they couldn't and the enemies couldn't get what they wanted. However, what made Lin Bai a little curious was what kind of benefits did Jiang Haoran give to Du Ruoran and Xin Yi to make them work so hard for him, even willing to sacrifice the Medicine Valley that raised them.

But even if he understood all of this, in the current situation, Lin Bai would still be unable to counterattack. In addition, the more he fought back, the more it would backfire, causing people to feel that Lin Bai was a guilty conscience and didn't dare to face all these matters head on.

Under the current situation, Lin Bai understood that the only thing he could do was to withstand the pressure brought by these rumors and end the fire as soon as possible. Only in this way would he be able to calm all the public opinion and allow Du Ruo, Xin Yi, and Jiang Haoran to strip off their disguises and expose their fangs.

Moreover, what made the people of Pill King Valley even more curious was that after the rumors spread, Elder Seng Tan, who never doubted anyone and never doubted anyone, unexpectedly did not comment at all on these rumors.

This abnormality caused one to have no choice but to suspect. Under these rumors, even Elder Zhi Tan started to suspect Lin Bai, thinking that everything that the Medicine God Valley was facing was a meticulous plan of Lin Bai.

However, although Elder Zhu Tan did not express any intention of calming the rumors down, he did not stop Lin Bai from using the method to get rid of the Earth Fire. In his ambiguous attitude, the situation gradually became more complicated and unpredictable.

But at this critical moment, Lin Bai suddenly announced that all preparations to extinguish the earth fire had been completed, and it was just around the corner!
