Standing in Chaoyang City, looking at the somewhat familiar streets, Lin Liang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Although Lin Liang only stayed in Chaoyang City for a short two days, this was the place where Lin Liang really stepped out of his footsteps.

In the past, in Stone Ghost Town, I always heard the mercenary uncles brag about how beautiful the outside world was, but at that time, Lin Liang could only look at the mercenaries who showed their goods and scars to passers-by with envy, because in Lin Liang's eyes, they were all people who had seen the world.

And now after really walking in the outside world, Lin Liang understands the cruelty hidden under the beautiful appearance of this world, and once thought that the scars on those mercenaries were proof of men, so that Lin Liang wanted to slash his body every time he thought about it.

And now Lin Liang already has these scars on his body, but Lin Liang already knows that this thing is not a proof of a man at all, this is a proof of his survival in this world!

In the past two years, even Lin Liang himself has not noticed that he has become more and more mature now. In the past, Lin Liang had his own persistence, fantasy and yearning for the future, and even naivety.

And now Lin Liang, his persistence and tenacity are still there, and with the various experiences he has encountered in the past two years, he has become stronger and stronger, and the illusion and innocence of the past have disappeared, replaced by a deep understanding of reality and a clear goal for the future.

"Whew! After coming out of the Cloud Dream Realm, he has been patronizing and hurrying, and he hasn't even eaten a decent spiritual food, what a waste of so many spirit crystals on his body!" Thinking back to the journey of more than a month, and then thinking of the more than 100,000 spirit crystals lying quietly in his Qiankun bag, the resentment in Lin Liang's heart suddenly rose.

Today's Lin Liang still hasn't changed his personality of not suffering losses, but compared to the previous one, Lin Liang understands the real role of the spirit crystal as if he has no teacher, that is, circulation.

If everyone sticks to the spirit crystal, then the spirit crystal will lose its own role for a long time. Although the spirit crystal can be used for cultivation, but judging from Lin Liang's current cultivation at the sixth level of the spirit vein realm, the spiritual energy contained in the spirit crystal within 10,000 is only enough for one day of cultivation for himself, and in terms of the amount of spiritual energy absorbed and the efficiency, it is far inferior to the cultivation spirit dwelling that is available in those cities.

Of course, for Lin Liang, this was just a feeling, so after calming down and calculating carefully, Lin Liang no longer looked at the spirit crystals as he did before, but thought about how to exchange these existing spirit crystals for more cultivation resources for himself.

After all, in this world, no one will hand over cultivation resources to you for no reason, after all, all martial artists need this thing, and the difference between joining a sect and going alone is here, and this is also the reason why the sect can attract martial artists to join.

Cultivation resources do not only refer to those aura and spirit crystals, but also include the exercises, combat skills, pills, and treasures that martial artists need to move forward on the martial arts path, these things can be said to be necessary for lone rangers to fight for their lives, and for those martial artists who have joined the sect, as long as they work hard to cultivate, these things do not have to worry.

It's not that as long as you join the sect, you can have smooth sailing, in this world, there will be pay along with what you get, and those who seem to enjoy the treatment of the sect are not without a price to pay, but the simple price is infinitely ignored in the face of the temptation of treatment.

Of course, it is undeniable that the sect does have the value of its existence, although many strong people have been tempered by themselves all the way, but they are only individuals after all, and the sect is a group.

Although the two are different, but the so-called avenues are thousands, after all, they are different paths to the same end, just like the strongest among those sects, the sect's restraint on them is already minimal, and his advantage over those equally powerful lone warriors is the sect that cultivates them.

Ahem, a little bit of a stretch, let's get down to business.

Lin Liang stood in Chaoyang City and looked around, and at a glance he found the Yang Tower standing among the many buildings, and at that moment he showed a knowing smile on his face, touched his stomach and walked in the direction of the Yang Tower.

"I happen to be hungry too, so let's have a good meal today!"

Yanglou, this is the place where Lin Liang was taken by the old man Xu Ruhai to eat a spiritual food when he first came to Chaoyang City two years ago, thinking of this, Lin Liang couldn't help but sigh, two years have passed in a flash, and I don't know how the old man Xu Ruhai is now, I hope his baby granddaughter Xu Ruoxin didn't cause him too much trouble!

As the largest restaurant in Chaoyang City, Yanglou naturally has its own uniqueness, and one or two of them can be seen just by looking at some external changes.

So when Lin Liang walked into this restaurant that he had been to, he was instantly shocked, the hall was more spacious than before, and the half-pack tables scattered around, coupled with the more luxurious decoration compared with two years ago, you can see the traces of the previous Yang Building, but also there are new things, no wonder this Yang Building can become the first restaurant in Chaoyang City!

"Welcome the guest officer to our Yang Building, I don't know if the guest officer likes the hall or the private room upstairs?"

When Lin Liang was still looking around, Xiao Er had already run in front of Lin Liang and greeted with a smile.

"Hall. Lin Liang looked around, randomly pointed to a half-pack position by the window and said, "I think that's it, by the way, remember to give me all the signboards you have here, I've been hungry for a long time, master!"

"Okay! Don't worry, guest officer!"

Xiao Er glanced at the position Lin Liang was pointing to, and had already written down this position in his heart, and immediately bent down and said, "Guest officer, please, the meal you want will arrive soon!"

Lin Liang nodded, and walked towards the location he chose, leaving the sect for nearly two years, Lin Liang was almost familiar with some basic places in various cities, just like a big restaurant like Liyanglou, it was definitely a good place for Lin Liang, not to mention that he could fill his stomach, and sometimes he could find some unexpected news in it!

Lin Liang sat in the previously selected position, waiting for the meal to be served, while focusing on the surroundings, wanting to see if he could get any valuable news.

I didn't notice it when I stood at the door before, and it wasn't until Lin Liangjing sat down that I suddenly noticed the weirdness of the surrounding environment.

It stands to reason that as the largest restaurant in Chaoyang City, even if the Yang Building is not full, at least there should be a lot of people in the private rooms on the second floor, but just now Lin Liang glanced up, but found that there were basically no people on the second floor, and almost all the diners were concentrated in the hall.

There are many people in the hall, which is also a good thing for Lin Liang, after all, the hall itself is a place for the flow of messages, and the more people there are, the more news there is, and the more lively it is.

But in fact, although there are many people in the hall, the whole hall is unusually quiet, and the diners are whispering to each other in two or three people, and at the same time they keep looking at the door of the restaurant, as if they are waiting for someone.

Lin Liang was careful for a while, but he vaguely heard the words and phrases such as "Promotion Ceremony" and "Southern Three Sects", and then there was no follow-up, and he was completely confused when he heard it!

After a while, the meal that Lin Liang asked for was served, but the hall was still quiet, although Lin Liang had the heart to find someone to ask, but he was afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart at the moment, and while eating the spiritual food he ordered, he continued to observe the diners around him casually.

It's a little strange to say, after observing for a while, Lin Liang suddenly found that most of the diners in the hall actually had cultivation above the eighth layer of the Spirit Quenching Realm, and even the aura of the Spirit Vein Realm martial artist Lin Liang also sensed a lot.

It's actually not surprising to say it, although Chaoyang City is only a third-class city, but due to the location, there are many martial artists coming and going, and it is not impossible to have such a number of martial artists and cultivators. But if you think about it carefully, such a cultivation and a number of people actually gather in this hall at the same time, which makes people a little suspicious.

"Whew, whew!"

Just when Lin Liang's heart was full of doubts, a figure suddenly ran from outside the building with a sweaty head, as if it had consumed a lot of physical strength, and the sound of heavy wheezing was transmitted to the hall before the person appeared.

"It's coming!"

"It's coming, it's coming!"

Hearing this heavy wheezing sound, the diners in the hall instantly perked up, and some even stood up directly and looked towards the door of the Yang Building, as if the owner of this heavy wheezing sound was the person they were waiting for.

As the wheezing sound became clearer and clearer, a man who looked a little thin appeared in front of everyone, the man was sweating profusely, and after coming in, he sat directly in the most central seat, and said intermittently: "There is ...... There is a ...... There's news!"

"Got news?!"

"Say it quickly, hurry up!"

Hearing this, the diners in the hall suddenly boiled, and they kept urging the lean men one by one.

The thin man was urged by everyone to say something but couldn't say anything, and finally after a long while, the thin man grabbed the gap in everyone's urging, and then said intermittently: "Let me ...... first Let's stop for a moment!"

After speaking, the lean man didn't care about the urging of the diners, he directly lifted the spiritual tea on the table and poured it into his mouth, and after pouring two pots in a row, he stopped, slowly adjusting his breathing to calm himself down.
