Chapter 15 Meeting the Cultivator

Chapter 15 Meeting the Cultivator

The light ball transformed by the young boy's soul had dimmed to the point of being almost transparent, and his voice of pleading gradually weakened. After a few hours, the light ball completely dissipated and the voice stopped abruptly.

Xiao Lin, who had been watching the sapling, raised his eyebrows. He was surprised to find that the sapling seemed to be a little taller and the green leaf seemed to be a little bigger, but all this was very subtle. Xiao Lin even suspected that it was his illusion, but one thing was certain, that is, the young boy's soul had been completely devoured by the sapling.

He sighed softly. It was originally just an ordinary transaction, but in the end it turned out to be a life-and-death enemy. This made Xiao Lin quite unexpected. Now he was trapped here and didn't know how to get out.

Although he hadn't figured out how to leave, Xiao Lin felt that the key to getting out was this sapling, but he had been observing it for almost a day and still hadn't found a way.

He stood up again. The young boy's soul had completely disappeared, so he didn't have to worry about being attacked. The reason why he had been next to the sapling was that he was worried that the young boy had some vicious spells.

He came to the edge of the small piece of land and touched the light shield. It was still pitch black outside, and inside the light shield, although not as dark as outside, it was also very dim. Suddenly, Xiao Lin raised his head and was surprised to find that there was a thumb-sized white bead above him. The light inside was emitted by the white bead.

Xiao Lin thought about it, and suddenly jumped up, wanting to touch the bead, but what surprised him was that the bead didn't look high, but after he jumped several feet high, he still had a strange feeling that the distance between him and the bead was not shortened.

After trying several times, Xiao Lin gave up completely and came back to the sapling.

"What on earth are you?" Xiao Lin couldn't help but stretch out his hand and gently flicked the tender green leaves of the sapling.

"Bang" Xiao Lin felt a black screen in front of his eyes. When his eyes were bright again, he was surprised to find that he was back in the valley again, and the body of the young boy was still beside him.

After thinking about it, Xiao Lin sighed and threw the body of the young boy into the pit and buried it. Xiao Lin also took a stone and erected a monument for him, and carved a few words with the tip of an arrow [Tomb of the Unknown Cultivator].

Thinking about it, Xiao Lin felt a little bored. From beginning to end, he didn't know the name of this cultivator. It must be said that the road of cultivation is really mysterious, but who can say whether he will be buried in an unknown place like this young boy one day in the future.

After cleaning up in the cave, Xiao Lin left Shuiyun Valley. Although Qi Chang was injured and fled, who knows if he will return again after recovering. Once he sees the burial place of the young boy, he will definitely think that there are others lurking nearby. If his whereabouts are discovered by him, he will definitely die. Therefore, the best way for Xiao Lin is to leave quickly.

Flying all the way, Xiao Lin left Shuiyun Valley for hundreds of miles before finding a hidden cave to stop and rest.

After this period of experience, Xiao Lin is no longer ready to return to Qingshui Lake Mine, but to Wuyin Xiancheng. After seeing the methods of the cultivators, Xiao Lin is full of yearning for the world of cultivation. What's more, the Dry Water Sutra he practiced is originally a cultivation method. He has a certain foundation. If he can reach Wuyin Xiancheng, I think his dream of cultivation can be truly realized.

For safety, mainly to avoid Qi Chang's search, he chose to meditate and practice during the day, and fly at night. Of course, he was very careful along the way, walking in the relatively safe area recorded in the book. If there was any disturbance, Xiao Lin would hide first. In his opinion, it would be better to spend more time to reach the Wuyin Fairy City than to rush into the lair of a monster. It would be too unfair to die in that way.

Half a year has passed.

In a valley in the Tianlu Mountains, Xiao Lin panted loudly, but his face was excited. In front of him lay a huge toad, two feet long, with dense white pustules on its back, hideous and terrifying, a pair of bulging eyeballs had lost their spirit, and the tongue stretched out half a foot long, drooping to the side.

This was the first time that Xiao Lin had seen such a big toad since he was a child. In his opinion, this toad must be the legendary monster. Along the way, he had killed many wild beasts, but this was the first time he had encountered a monster. You know, he chose the route according to the guidance of the book given to him by the young boy. Although there were some twists and turns along the way, most of them were safe.

Today, he came to this valley and wanted to drink some water and take a rest. Unexpectedly, a tongue jumped out of the water. Thanks to the habit of caution he had developed in the past few months, he was able to avoid it, otherwise he might have been pulled into the water.

In this way, after he left the water, the toad did not give up and jumped directly onto the shore to attack him. After dealing with the toad for a while, he found that it seemed to only have the skill of water arrows, so he sacrificed the wooden spirit shield and fought with it.

Relying on his light skills and the magic power of the third level of Qi Refining, Xiao Lin still narrowly defeated the toad.

In the past few months, Xiao Lin practiced during the day and traveled at night, and he was exhausted all the way. He estimated that he was not far from the Wuyin Immortal City, but he had been around here for more than ten days and still had not seen any trace of the immortal city.

This made him a little depressed. In the past few months, he had practiced the Dry Water Sutra diligently, but the effect was not very good. The third layer of Ning Shui Ru Jing was still far away from Dacheng. This made Xiao Lin depressed at the same time. I also deeply feel that cultivation is not easy. According to the current progress, it will probably take at least three or four years to reach the third level of cultivation.

He sat on a stone from a distance and stared at the lake in a daze. The lake was only a few acres in size. Not far away, a stream flowed out of the valley and flowed into the lake. Xiao Lin was drinking water from the stream. When he was attacked by a toad, he now dared not approach the lake. There were already monsters in the stream, so there might be more powerful monsters in the lake.

He raised his head and looked into the distance. He didn't know what had happened these days. The sky was overcast, and it was foggy beyond a hundred feet. He couldn't see clearly. He even wondered if he had gone the wrong way. According to the book, According to the records in the book, the Kirigakure Immortal City is nearby.

Just as Xiao Lin was deep in thought, several rays of light of different colors flashed, and five people fell on the open space not far in front of him. These five people noticed Xiao Lin sitting on the stone at the same time, and couldn't help but look on their faces. They all showed a surprised expression.

"You dare to come to this Black Scale Lake even if you are on the third level of Qi Refining?"

"He must be a lonely ascetic, right? Look at the dead water dart frog there."

"Hmph, the Water Dart Frog is just an elementary-level mortal monster, and it's also the weakest among the elementary monsters. There aren't many people killing it usually. I wonder what this person is doing killing such a monster?"

"Maybe it's to practice magic."

Xiao Lin came to his senses when a few people fell down. He slowly stood up with a vigilant expression on his face.

"I'm Luo Shou, I wonder if fellow Taoists are here to hunt black-scaled snakes?" A fat man with a dark complexion walked over. He looked to be in his mid-twenties and was still standing behind him. There was a girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and two others who looked very similar. The last one was a bit strange, only five feet tall, with protruding eyes and protruding teeth, which made her look a bit ugly.

Seeing the other party's question, Xiao Lin hurriedly replied: "My name is Xiao Lin. I want to go to Wuyin Fairy City and I happen to be passing by here."

After listening to Xiao Lin's words, Luo Shou's expression softened slightly and he said with a smile: "Is it possible that you are a casual cultivator who met by chance and entered the world of cultivation?"

Hearing this, Xiao Lin's face was a little dazed and he nodded sheepishly.

"Haha, brother, don't be embarrassed. There are quite a few brothers like us who got the opportunity by chance and embarked on the path of cultivation in our Hidden Immortal City. Besides, we are all casual cultivators. If you don't mind, brother, just follow. Let's hunt the monsters, and after the matter is over, come with us back to the Hidden Mist Fairy City, how about it?"

"This..." Xiao Lin hesitated. After what happened with Qi Chang, he didn't trust cultivators. However, he has been unable to find Wuyin Immortal City. Judging from the situation, the people in front of him should have come from Wuyin Immortal City. He hunts monster beasts, and he also wants to see the process of hunting monster beasts. After thinking for a while, he replied: "It is natural that Xiao Lin can go back to the fairy city with you, but he is afraid of disturbing you?"

"Brother Luo, the black-scaled snake is one of the strongest among the elementary mortal monsters, and it is also highly poisonous. I'm afraid it will be a burden to carry him around." One of the two similar-looking people glanced at Xiao Lin and frowned. He said with a frown.

"Lu Wen, you have forgotten that you two brothers from the Lu family are also disciples of a sect in the secular world. You only entered the world of immortality by chance after getting a copy of the [Water and Fire Scripture]. Everyone has seen how difficult it is for us to become casual cultivators." "You haven't even stepped into the Immortal Sect, but you've already started to have those condescending habits of Immortal Sect disciples." The girl next to the big man seemed to be very dissatisfied with Lu Wen's words, and turned back unceremoniously.

"Uh." Lu Wen immediately showed a look of embarrassment on his face, but he did not continue to refute.

"Shuang'er, don't be so unreasonable, Brother Lu doesn't mean any harm." Luo Shou scolded the girl, then turned to Xiao Lin and said: "Brother, don't mind, my sister is spoiled by me, and she usually speaks without restraint. It made my brother laugh."

He glanced at the girl and found that the girl was looking at him curiously. Xiao Lin's face was a little dazed, but he had a lot of affection for the brothers and sisters. He was new to cultivation and didn't understand many things, but the girl's words made sense. into his heart.

"Then you're welcome. I'll follow you to see what I've got. I don't discriminate between the prey and I'm just watching from a distance. I won't drag you down." In Xiao Lin's heart, the immature boy and the Qi Chang and the two of them fought to the death for a piece of Lingwu Grass, which made him realize that in the world of cultivation, it is just like the common people. It is said that people die for wealth and birds die for food. However, in the eyes of cultivators, wealth is replaced by cultivation. The material was just magic grass, so Xiao Lin made his intentions clear from the beginning, just to avoid being missed or dissatisfied by interested people, which would cause trouble for himself.

After hearing what Xiao Lin said, the expressions of the Lu brothers softened significantly, and the ugly dwarf who had been silent also took a deep look at Xiao Lin, with a hint of approval in his eyes.

"Brother, you're welcome. We are all casual cultivators, and there is no real conflict of interest. It is appropriate to help each other. By the way, since Brother Xiao has joined our team, let me introduce some of my colleagues."
