Just before Ling Long descended the mountain.
Three days back.
Further away from Bluestone City, closer to a corner of the Great Wilderness.
This place was barren, and the ground was black. There were many mountain ranges connected to each other, and there was a sinister ghost aura lingering in the air.
As he went further in, he could see piles of bones everywhere, and a terrifying cold air was spreading out from the depths of the earth vein.
It was also at this place that the tallest mountain peak and a group of pitch-black palaces appeared. They were connected, and there were iron chains connecting the peaks.
The architectural style was strange, and the hall was carved with ghost heads. It was ferocious, just like the Yama Hall.
Xuanyin Sect.
It was also the number one evil sect in this area.
It makes people's faces change when they talk about it, and it can stop children from crying at night.
At this moment, there were three figures standing in the first palace.
They were all dressed in black, and there were all kinds of skeletons, zombies, yakshas, ox-heads, and other ghosts painted on them. Coupled with the gloomy atmosphere in the hall, ordinary people would be scared half to death just by entering.
"What's going on? We've lost contact with that old man Xuan Gui for almost half a month. The last time we heard from him, he was in the vast wilderness chasing after that girl with the Han Bing terminated meridians.”
The one who spoke was an old man who was about to die. His back was hunched and his face was full of wrinkles. He looked like he did not have many days left to live.
"Hmph, what a waste. No wonder he's still lingering around the lianqi stage even though he's almost a hundred years old. Now that the Palace Master was in seclusion, he urgently needed the Ice Terminated Meridians to break through the barrier. If anything happened, he, Xuan Gui, would die a hundred deaths!”
The one who answered was a young man. The Yin Qi on his body was not as heavy as the old man's, but his face was pale, just like the legendary White Impermanence.
Finally, a person wearing a bronze ghost mask whose age could not be seen stood at the head of the three. When he heard this, he said,"This matter can't be delayed any longer. There are too few Ice Terminated Meridians. If anything happens, we'll all be punished. Can Xiong, I'll leave this matter to you.”
The young man in front straightened his body and revealed a cruel smile."Leave it to me, Lord Withered Life."
Before he finished speaking, he had already turned around and strode out.
This kind of opportunity to render meritorious service was rare. If he could catch the eye of the hall master and reward him, he might be able to shorten the time needed to enter the divine-tier.
As long as he entered the divine-tier, he would be able to enter the core of the Xuanyin Sect. At that time, whether it was resources or cultivation techniques, they would be far superior to what he had now.
Thinking of this, he walked even faster.
……
Three days later, the location was back at Exquisite's place.
After she got down the mountain, she found the right direction and headed straight for Bluestone City.
On the way, she checked what was in the jade pendant and was stunned by the dazzling array of talismans.
Apart from that, there was also a horsetail whisk that glowed gently. Coupled with the Grand Yin Jade Pendant, Ling Long felt that she was armed to the teeth.
At the same time, her heart was filled with sweetness. As expected, her master still doted on her.
As such, her mood improved even more.
In fact, she didn't know what she should do after being chased down the mountain by Jiang Fan.
With her current strength, it was time for her to cultivate in seclusion.
She could feel that she was still far from the so-called bottleneck.
At the same time, she had never forgotten about the Xuanyin Sect that had destroyed her entire sect.
Her hatred was buried in the deepest part of her heart.
This was also one of the reasons why Jiang Fan didn't ask and she didn't take the initiative to mention it.
She wanted to take revenge on her own.
When she reached the Divine Power Realm or even higher, she would have the strength to fight him head-on.
Whether it was ten years, a hundred years, or even longer, she had enough patience.
It was too early to think about this. Compared to the Xuanyin Sect, her strength was still too weak.
Since she didn't know what she was going to do, she decided to go to Bluestone City and complete the mission her master had given her.
As for the rest, it would depend on the situation.
Bluestone City wasn't too far away, or rather, the Daoist temple itself was located at the edge of the Great Wilderness.
Around noon the next day, she arrived at the bluestone city gate.
This ancient city had been through many storms and prospered because of the demon beast trade in the vast wilderness.
After paying some taxes and entering the city, the long-awaited hustle and bustle came.
The streets were bustling with activity. Exquisite smiled. She was a young girl, after all, and was subconsciously attracted by the bustling streets.
She still remembered what she was here for. Although she looked left and right, she walked towards the largest grain store in the city.
She wasn't from Bluestone City, but from the Bian Province, which was much more prosperous than this place. There were many cultivation sects here.
She stopped in her tracks, and a sweet scent restrained her.
"Little girl, give me a stick of candied haws. It's very sweet.”
Seeing that she had stopped, the vendor selling candied hawthorns smiled. He took a stick and handed it over.
Exquisite subconsciously swallowed her saliva and was about to take it when her body shook violently.
She realized something terrifying.
He had no money.
When he went down the mountain, his master did not give him any money!
How could he buy food without money? How could he buy candied hawthorns without money?
Exquisite was filled with grief and indignation.
She took a deep breath and smiled sweetly."Uncle, I'm not hungry."
Holding back the tears in her heart, she turned around and left quickly.
At the same time, he thought to himself,'Master didn't give me money, but asked me to buy food.'
Did Master forget?
No, he wouldn't. There must be a deeper meaning behind Master's actions.
From another perspective, with his master's divine power, how could the Taoist temple really be short of food?
The resources in the vast wilderness were inexhaustible. If his master was willing, he could easily hunt countless demon beasts. Why would he worry about food?
I understood now. Buying food was just an excuse. This was part of the experiential learning that Master had designed for me.
Master's true goal is to make money by myself. Just like cultivation, making money is also a part of cultivating one's heart.
She was shocked. No wonder her master wanted to chase her down the mountain. He was secretly reminding her to calm down. Only then could she truly cultivate on the mountain.
In just ten steps, Ling Ling 'figured out' the cause and effect.
He felt that his master was becoming more and more unfathomable. His seemingly casual actions contained such profound intentions.
She stood still again, knowing what she was going to do this time.
He didn't continue to the grain store, but headed straight for the most prosperous area of Bluestone City.
