Everything within the sacred space was utterly shattered.
It was like a grand fireworks display.
All of this happened too suddenly.
Several days later, the entire Sacred Realm, including Tianbao City, was shrouded in a mist containing pure immortal power.
At the same time, countless martial artists roamed among them.
The shattered space and the pervasive immortal mist caused all the martial artists to lose their way!
Lin Jinglong was not found by Qian Fuhai.
His figure appeared in a remote suburb of Tianyi City, a small town in the heart of southern Xinjiang, hundreds of miles outside Tianbao City.
Lin Jinglong woke up in an old bungalow.
He looked down to his left and discovered that one of his arms had been severed again.
"Fortunately, it was outside the Immortal Gate, and I wasn't hit in a vital spot, otherwise I would definitely have died inside."
Lin Jinglong muttered to himself.
He already understood what had happened.
That attack not only severed one of his arms, but also severed part of his primordial spirit, causing his cultivation level to drop from the peak of the Nascent Soul stage to the middle stage.
"Fortunately, that terrifying attack shattered space, preventing him from getting lost in the dark turbulence. Instead, he landed here. I wonder who saved me?"
Lin Jinglong stepped out of the bungalow and glanced at the sky.
There was a courtyard outside, and the sky was somewhat gloomy.
The air was filled with the aroma of herbs, and there was also a unique, exotic fragrance that did not seem to emanate from the room.
Instead, it diffused from a distance.
In the courtyard, a girl dressed in traditional southern Xinjiang clothing turned her head and glanced at Lin Jinglong, a bright and surprised smile appearing on her somewhat dark face.
"You're finally awake!"
She jogged out of the yard again.
"Grandpa, the person we picked up has woken up!"
She quickly brought back an old man whose head was wrapped in an old cloth and who was holding a pipe.
After the grandfather and grandson entered, they both looked Lin Jinglong over. The old man nodded slightly.
“I knew that the herbal medicine would work that day. I only lost an arm, not my life.”
"Heavenly Righteous Grass? So this is Heavenly Righteous City?"
Lin Jinglong looked at the grandfather and grandson and asked them curiously.
The old man nodded and said with a smile, "You must be a martial artist, right? The Southern Frontier has been in chaos lately. A week ago, my grandson and I went up the mountain to collect herbs and found you. We even used up a lot of Heavenly Righteousness Grass in the process."
Lin Jinglong nodded gratefully to them.
The so-called Heavenly Righteous Grass is a specialty of Heavenly Righteous City in the Southern Frontier. It has a powerful effect on healing external injuries. Although the wound on his arm is not fatal, with his celestial physique and powerful bloodline, it will heal itself quickly. However, the other person meant well.
"Thank you so much for saving me, sir. And this young lady, may I ask your names?"
"People in the city call me Lao Hei."
"This is my granddaughter, her name is Xiao Hei."
Lin Jinglong glanced at the dark-skinned girl and revealed a strange smile.
This name is truly concise and to the point!
The girl blushed slightly. She tugged at her grandfather's sleeve and whispered, "My name isn't Xiao Hei, it's Hei Binghua!"
Old Hei just chuckled.
It's just a name; he doesn't care.
Lin Jinglong then asked another crucial question.
"I wonder what changes have occurred in the outside world this past week, especially in Tianbao City?"
"I don't know. My grandfather and I never care about things outside Tianyi City. Tianbao City is a full 500 li away from here. I only know that it's very chaotic there."
Old Hei was just a herb gatherer.
They are unaware of and uninterested in anything happening in the outside world.
Lin Jinglong nodded.
He learned about Tianyi City from the White Lotus Society, who had reportedly established a branch there.
Although their numbers are small, they are still a force to be reckoned with.
"Once we meet the branch members of the White Lotus Society, we will know the situation in Tianyi City and the situation in Tianbao City."
Lin Jinglong pondered for a moment.
He then sniffed his nose.
I just felt that the strange fragrance was a bit peculiar.
"Does the old man know the source of this strange fragrance?"
"You smelled it too? No wonder you're a martial artist. I asked other people in the city, and none of them could smell it. Even Xiao Hei couldn't smell it. If it weren't for my nose being several times more sensitive than the average person's, I wouldn't have been able to smell it either."
Old Hei started grumbling and complaining.
Hei Binghua also showed a look of surprise.
"So Grandpa's nose wasn't the problem after all; there really is a strange fragrance?"
"The strange fragrance came from outside the city, but that old Yin Mountain is a forbidden area outside Tianyi City. No one has been in there for many years. Even an old herb gatherer like me dares not go there."
Old Hei's implication was that Lin Jinglong shouldn't take any risks.
Lin Jinglong nodded. He was thinking about how to repay the grandfather and grandson in front of him. After all, they had picked him up from the mountains and taken good care of him for a period of time, consuming a lot of herbs. He certainly couldn't treat them unfairly.
In addition, he also investigated the situation in Tianbao City and the unique fragrance coming from outside the city, which he suspected was related to the Holy Realm.
Just then, there were hurried footsteps outside the door.
A short, stocky martial artist swaggered into the courtyard. Besides him, there were several other hooligans who weren't even martial artists; they were just stronger than ordinary people and more adept at fighting.
After the short, stocky young man who was in the lead came in.
He looked around and glanced at Lin Jinglong.
Finally, his gaze fell on Hei Binghua's face.
"Little Black Girl, are you going to agree to what I asked you to do last time?"
"Promise what? Become friends with you?"
Hei Binghua looked at him with disdain.
"No way! You fatso, you bully me and Grandpa all the time, and you expect me to be your friend?"
The short, stocky young man was immediately filled with resentment.
He glared fiercely at Hei Binghua, then looked at the old man smoking his pipe.
"Old Hei, if your family can't collect your share of Tianyi Grass this month, you can forget about hanging around in the south of the city from now on. I'm representing the White Lotus Society to expel you from Tianyi City!"
"You brat, your father learned herbalism skills thanks to me. Although your parents died young, you shouldn't be so rude. Just because you've hooked up with the White Lotus Society, you actually want to expel me from Tianyi City?"
The old man picked up his pipe, ready to fight.
The short, stocky young man snorted coldly.
"There's nothing I can do. You broke the rules and wasted so much Heavenly Righteousness Grass for a wild man with a broken hand. And since Xiao Hei doesn't want to date me, I have no choice but to do things impartially!"
After he finished speaking, he waved for his men to surround him.
Lin Jinglong stood in front of the grandfather and grandson, looking at the short, fat man with a half-smile.
"You're also a member of the White Lotus Society?"
He could tell that although this person had some martial arts skills, he had not practiced the Mountain-Sitting Technique and was just an outer member, or even a formal member.
