Going out
"One thing at a time."
Lin Xiaotian waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and said loudly, "How about this. When Qi'er recovers, I will have him bring two outstanding disciples from your side branch to join the Xuanyang Sect. From now on, the expenses of your branch will be paid according to the standards of the main family's direct descendants."
When these words came out, Uncle Lin and the elders behind him were stunned.
Xuantian Sect! That was a holy place for cultivation that countless cultivators from the entire Eastern Region were desperate to enter!
They are just a small branch, and it is difficult for them to even see the main family on a normal day, but now they can get two places in the Xuantian Sect!
This is simply a supreme opportunity!
Uncle Lin knelt on the ground, his voice choked with sobs: "Thank you, Patriarch! Thank you for your kindness! I, Lin De... on behalf of the entire branch, bow to thank you for your great kindness!"
The remaining two people also reacted, knelt down in unison, and kowtowed several times.
The fate of their group will change completely from today on, and all this is because of the mysterious senior who saved them in the valley.
At the same time, in Jingxin Garden.
Zhong Ling was sitting cross-legged under a tree, his eyes slightly closed, sinking a wisp of consciousness into the soul-nourishing gourd.
Xuanming had just woken up from his cultivation, and his soul and body had become much more solid.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong, where is this place?" Xuanming's voice came.
"We have arrived at Tianshu City." Zhong Ling said.
"Tianshu City!" Xuanming's soul began to waver. "The Eastern Territory's foremost city, the Tianjian Sect's mountain gate, is located on Tianjian Peak, three hundred miles outside the city..."
"Master of Tianjian Sect... Zhang Chengying..." Xuanming gritted his teeth and read out the name, his soul body fluctuating violently with excitement.
Zhong Ling offered no comfort, but simply stated the facts: "You can't do anything in your current state."
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, calming Xuanming's excited emotions.
Yes, he is just a soul now, how can he seek revenge?
"Fellow Daoist Zhong..." Xuanming's tone was bitter. "I know, I was delusional. Being alive is a blessing. As for revenge... perhaps I can only wait until the next life."
"Who said we have to wait for the afterlife?"
Xuanming was stunned and didn't react.
Zhong Ling continued, "When I saved you, I promised that I would give you a high-level puppet once your spirit and soul were completely stable.
But I think it would be better to rebuild a physical body. Then, you can avenge your grudge yourself."
Rebuilding the body? !
Is this just a casual remark? Every single one of the materials needed to rebuild the body is a legendary artifact. Few people have even heard of them, let alone finding them all.
"Fellow Daoist Zhong...you...you are not kidding, right?" Xuanming's soul body fluctuations were even more violent than before.
"I never joke about this kind of thing." Zhong Ling's tone remained calm. "I have the materials to rebuild your body. You just need to focus on nourishing your spirit and soul and restore it to peak condition."
Xuanming was completely silent, he had nothing to say.
After a long moment, Xuanming spoke solemnly, "Fellow Daoist Zhong, I have been so kind to you. I cannot possibly repay you. From now on, I will obey your orders, even if it means death!"
"Take good care of your soul."
Zhong Ling only replied with this sentence and then withdrew his consciousness.
In the yard, Jiuhun had just finished eating some fruit and was lying on the ground basking in the sun.
Zhong Ling finished her conversation with Xuan Ming and had nothing to do, so she left a note in the room: I'm going out for a stroll, and then left the Lin Mansion.
Tianshu City is worthy of being the number one city in the Eastern Region.
The patterns of the formation can be vaguely seen on the ground of the streets, which gather the spiritual energy scattered in the city into the earth veins, nourishing the entire city.
From time to time, monks would fly by on various magical weapons, and some would even ride in gorgeous chariots pulled by birds, which was very grand and attracted the attention of passers-by below.
Zhong Ling mingled in the crowd, walking slowly. When she reached an intersection, she smelled the rich aroma of wine and food. She looked up and saw a three-story restaurant with three big characters written on its sign - Wenxianglou.
This name is quite straightforward.
The waiter had sharp eyes and saw that Zhong Ling had an extraordinary temperament. He came up to her with a smile on his face.
"Please come in, fairy! What would you like to eat? Our signature dishes include Fire Cloud Roasted Rabbit and Green Wave Stew. They are both cooked with first-level monster meat and spiritual plants, and they taste amazing!"
"Find a quiet spot by the window, order a pot of the best spiritual tea, and two of your signature dishes." Zhong Ling instructed, casually throwing out a medium-grade spiritual stone.
The waiter took the spirit stone, his eyes lit up, his attitude became more respectful, and he quickly led her to a private seat by the window on the second floor.
Soon, a pot of cloud tea and two plates of signature dishes were served.
Zhong Ling poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip. Although it was not as good as the tea in her space, it had a unique flavor.
She sipped her tea while listening to the conversation in the restaurant.
This place is a mixed crowd, making it an excellent place to gather information.
"Have you heard? Tianbao Pavilion is going to hold an auction the day after tomorrow, and there will be some good stuff this time!" A bearded man at the next table lowered his voice, but could not hide his excitement.
"Oh? Boss Wang, do you have any inside information? Tell us quickly!" The people at the same table immediately became excited.
Boss Wang took a sip of his wine with pride before saying, "My cousin who works as a guard at Tianbao Pavilion told me that one of the top items for this auction is a Transformation Pill!"
"What? Transformation Pill!"
"That's a seventh-grade elixir that can allow a seventh-level monster to transform into a human form early!"
"Wow, once this elixir is released, won't those demon cultivators and Beast Tamers who are stuck at a bottleneck go crazy grabbing it?"
The diners at the surrounding tables were also attracted by the news and listened attentively.
Seeing himself the center of attention, Boss Wang grew even more excited, his voice rising a few notches. "That's nothing! It's said there's a broken magical weapon handed down from ancient times. Although its rank is unknown, its material is so unique that even the appraisers at Tianbao Pavilion can't see through it. The starting price is a whopping one million spirit stones!"
"Also, I heard there's a beauty bead that can keep a person young forever! Tsk tsk, if this thing were taken out, wouldn't those fairies be so angry that they'd break their heads?" A monk with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks added, his tone full of envy.
"Hey, what do these treasures have to do with us? We can't afford any of them. But I have some ideas about one of the items." said a young monk who looked quite shrewd.
"What?"
"A fragment of a Boundary Breaking Talisman," the young cultivator said mysteriously, "It's said that if you collect three of them, you can piece together a complete Boundary Breaking Talisman, which can be used to randomly teleport out of the Eastern Region. It's a great treasure for escaping.
This auction is one of them, the starting price is not high, only 100,000 spirit stones, I want to try my luck."
"Boundary Breaking Talisman? This thing is quite useful."
"But what's the use of having only one incomplete map? The world is so vast, where can I find the other two?"
"You don't understand. This is called investing! What if I get lucky and find it in the future?"
