Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
Although there are more Jindan monks on the Heavenly Dome Continent than there are in the Tian Yuan Continent, they are not a ubiquitous commodity, and they still belong to the ranks of high-level monks. Especially for monks in the middle stage of Jindan like Lin Lan, they are even more noticed and respected by people, generally speaking, who has what kind of Jindan, Yuanying and even the monks of the Transformation Period, basically everyone knows clearly, so if a stranger suddenly appears in a bunch of Jindan stage monks who no one knows, it will definitely cause a great sensation and attention.
Lin Lan noticed this, so she didn't dare to go inside. She deliberately suppressed her cultivation, lowered her realm to the level of the late stage of foundation building, and mixed in with a group of foundation building monks, if there were no monks above the Yuan Infant stage who used spiritual sense to distinguish her, it would be impossible to discover her disguise.
She mingled among a group of monks in the foundation building period, and five days passed in a row, but she still didn't get any news, indicating that the formation mages of those big sects and big families hadn't been able to break those prohibitions, and she couldn't help but feel a little impatient.
In this place full of monks, she didn't dare to escape into the small world of Sumeru at will, for fear that someone would accidentally find out her secret. But if she stayed outside and couldn't cultivate, she was alone, and she had to guard against someone sneaking up on the treasure, which made her feel very impatient, and she had already raised the idea of leaving.
But at this time, she was already involuntarily. In this kind of time when everyone is squeezing inside, wouldn't it be even more eye-catching if she went out?
So she had to spend it here.
There were many people who felt the same anxiety and boredom as her, and when a large number of monks gathered, people simply seized the opportunity to communicate with each other. As cultivators, exploring and training everywhere was originally a part of their cultivation career, and almost everyone had some surplus materials on them, so they simply set up a temporary market here. Take out what you don't need or have to spare, and exchange it for some resources you need. At first, it was just a small transaction between some familiar monks, but later it was seen by others, so they followed suit, and gradually more and more people participated, anyway, everyone was idle, and they couldn't kill time by fighting, so they simply came to do business together.
Lin Lan was gradually swept in. She didn't want to participate, but when she saw some spirit grasses that were very rare on the Tian Yuan Continent, she was not calm. In order to get these spirit grasses. She took out some of her own inventory, some spiritual grass she planted and demon beast skins hunted on the Tianyuan Continent, exchanged them with people, and then sent them to the Sumeru Xiaoshi Realm in a blink of an eye, allowing Tao Yao to plant them.
Having tasted the sweetness, she began to actively participate in the transaction. Find something you like. The resources on the Heavenly Dome Continent are much richer than those in the Tian Yuan Continent, otherwise it would be impossible to produce so many Jindan and Yuanying Cultivators. Lin Lan has gained a lot here. Although I didn't find any treasures that could be used in the Qiankun Realm, I bought a lot of other alchemy, refining tools, and even talisman materials.
And among the monks in the foundation building period, it has gradually spread, and there is such a female cultivator in the late foundation building period, who has a lot of cultivation resources. This is not good news, when Lin Lan found out. Although he regretted it, he categorically stopped other transactions, and removed the disguise of his appearance, and restored his original appearance.
Now no one associated her with the female cultivator of Duobao.
But her appearance brought her no small trouble. She could only put on a veil, and then hid in the corner as low-key as possible, not to provoke any right and wrong, and quietly waited for the good news from the treasure in front of her.
Finally, five days later, the long-awaited good news has arrived!
The first layer of the treasure is opened.
The monks who were waiting outside suddenly felt excited, even though they knew that those big sects and big families must have rushed in and swept through the first time after the ban was opened, it didn't reduce their interest in the slightest. For them, they came here to pick up leaks, they didn't even think about fighting against the big sects and big families, and they didn't have that ability. All they want is to follow the big sects and big families after they have swept them to see if they can find anything that others have missed or don't look down on. Maybe those big sects and big families don't look down on, but they are very useful to them.
Besides, it's hard to say about chance, it's not that whoever has more power is better than whoever, sometimes a little monk in the Qi refining period can get a big chance that even a Yuan Infant stage monk can't get, and then soar into the sky, although the probability of such a thing happening is very small, but it's also worth trying, isn't it?
Although Lin Lan also likes treasures, she is far from being a person with a desire for profit, so her idea is also to pick up leaks, and she has never thought about what to compete with those high-ranking monks who are holding together—no one knows better than her what kind of unity the monks of the big sect and big family will show when facing the interests of the sect and the family!
So she also mixed in with the group of foundation building monks, and after the monks of the big sect and the big family went to the second layer of prohibition, they rushed in and rushed towards the place where others had already swept it.
Her spiritual sense is far better than ordinary people, and she only needs to sweep it to determine if there are any treasures left here, and the result is naturally negative. She didn't know what the people in front of the Dao had gained, in short, when they went, the rest were all things that could only be used by Qi refining stage cultivators at most, and even the treasures that could be used in the foundation building period were gone, which showed how thoroughly they had been swept away. Of course, it is also possible that the treasure itself is a rumor, and there is nothing to be desired in the first place.
In short, after the search here was unsuccessful, the enthusiasm of the monks in the foundation building period began to fade a lot, and some even had the idea of retreating. Lin Lan was mixed in with them, planning to sneak out of the city, this place was much more complicated than she imagined, and for safety, she didn't want to think about any more treasures.
Although there were people who withdrew at this time, there were not many people who withdrew, so after Lin Lan left the large army, she quickly sneaked away alone, released the suppressed cultivation, and returned to the level of the middle stage of Jindan.
It's just that not long after sneaking out, a creepy feeling suddenly hit my heart. She didn't think it was because she was nervous, because of her strong spiritual sense, her senses were much more sensitive than many people thought, and many times things that could hide from most Jindan monks could not escape her senses.
Someone must be stalking her!
Her heart couldn't help but tighten, and the first thought was who was that?
She didn't have any enemies here, and she basically didn't do anything. The only time I did it was to kill a demon beast, it was a wild demon beast, and all the proceeds of the hunt were shared with others, and I didn't take a penny. Who else would have ill intentions towards her?
Isn't it someone who covets her baby or her beauty?
She speculated wildly, but she didn't dare to stop under her feet, and she accelerated her pace more and more, and her speed had reached the extreme of a Jindan stage monk, even a person at the peak of the Jindan stage could only be so fast.
However, the person who followed her never got rid of it, so she could finally determine that the person who was following her was at least a cultivator above the Yuan Infant Stage.
Her face couldn't help but become more and more gloomy - if this is the case, I am afraid that this matter will not be good!
But she wasn't completely afraid. In fact, although her cultivation is not as good as Yuanying, she has already had the experience of directly facing Yuanying Monk several times, and each time although she can only flee in embarrassment, but after all, she escaped safely, right? This also invisibly gave her strong self-confidence, and she was not blindly discouraged and desperate in the face of opponents who she was likely to be unable to defeat.
Sometimes that glimmer of life appears in the midst of a seemingly hopeless struggle, but if you don't struggle, how can you win it?
Her speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, it was a thousand miles. Her figure streaked across the sky like a meteor, attracting no one's attention during the day, even if some of the slightly higher monks noticed a slight fluctuation in aura, and by the time they looked up, she had disappeared without a trace.
Half a day later, she was completely away from the redwood forest, and she didn't know where she had gone. And the tracker behind her is like a maggot on the tarsal bone, no matter how she shakes it off, she can't help but feel a sense of depression that she can't get rid of.
That's not good! Originally, she was inferior to others in cultivation, if her momentum was taken away, she would wait to be caught or even killed! She thought about it, gritted her teeth, and suddenly stopped.
At this time, she came to a secluded valley, and her spiritual sense spread, and she could find that this place was indeed uninhabited, without any fluctuations in spiritual energy.
There was a chuckle in the air, and a pleasant baritone said, "What, don't you run?" ”
She couldn't help but be shocked, and blurted out: "Helian Qiqing! ”
"It's me." Helian Qiqing appeared from opposite her, a demonic face was full of strange looks, looked at her and said, "I really didn't guess wrong, you are not the kind of person who will die easily. ”
Her face had turned pale, and she couldn't help but purse her lips.
I didn't expect to run into him again after going around!
It seems that he has already discovered himself, so he chased after him after he secretly left, so if he hadn't left, he wouldn't have come to the door so blatantly?
But whether it is or not, the situation is already like this, and she has no chance to regret it at all!
She looked at him and couldn't help but sigh and said, "When you get here, Young Master Helian, do you still want to entangle with me?" We are the only ones on this continent who come from the same origin and belong to the same country, shouldn't we unite and tide over the difficulties together? (To be continued......)
