Chapter 486 - Chapter 486: Chapter 183: Reunion (2/2)
“you mustn’t refuse, after all, although we share a good relationship, since i borrowed it, i must return it.”
“as for the rest, let’s discuss them separately,”
lin jing nodded, then said:
“okay…”
having finished speaking, lin jing asked zhang jian:
“brother zhang…”
“you are now at the pinnacle of golden core cultivation, i estimate you must be facing tribulation soon and advancing to the nascent soul stage, right?”
after hearing this, zhang jian shook his head and with a bitter smile replied:
“no…”
“the cultivation technique i’ve practiced on my own is indeed not reliable.”
“although i’m at the peak of golden core cultivation, my golden core peak is extremely unstable, and my combat power has suffered greatly.”
“otherwise, i wouldn’t have been injured so severely by those two brothers from the jin clan.”
at this point, zhang jian pondered for a while and then continued:
“i estimate…”
“it will take me at least decades or a hundred years to stay at this golden core peak before i can start advancing to nascent soul.”
“otherwise, if the foundation is not solid, undergoing tribulation would be seeking death.”
after hearing this, lin jing immediately remembered zhang jian’s previous ordeal and then spoke:
“then, the frostbone erosion you experienced before…”
lin jing had barely started speaking when zhang jian interrupted him.
zhang jian trembled all over, hurriedly reached out to cover lin jing’s mouth, and stuttered from deep inside:
“don’t…”
“don’t mention it…”
“brother lin, please spare me.”
it was then that lin jing remembered that zhang jian indeed had told him about this matter.
he was tormented by frostbone erosion, suffering from psychological trauma, and couldn’t stand hearing those words.
he would tremble at the mere mention.
lin jing had remembered this before.
but after the journey into the devouring spirit blood realm,
lin jing had completely forgotten about this matter.
this time, it was zhang jian’s reminder that jogged lin jing’s memory.
so he hurriedly stopped speaking and couldn’t help but sheepishly grin:
“heh heh…”
“sorry brother zhang, it slipped my mind…”
but zhang jian stopped lin jing from continuing and opened his mouth to say:
“as long as you don’t mention that matter, we’re still good friends…”
lin jing was speechless, never expecting that offending that woman in white back then would leave zhang jian still not recovered to this day.
it also served as a warning to lin jing that in the future, no matter what, unless absolutely necessary, he must not offend those female cultivators who appeared cold and aloof and possessed formidable strength.
afterward.
the group went inside a room, where lin jing listened to them recount some of the experiences they had over the years.
in the middle of their talk, ye yun suddenly appeared.
upon seeing lin jing, ye yun was immediately overjoyed, with his eyes even turning slightly red.
it turned out that ye yun had been cultivating at the land of earthly flame’s spring.
therefore, he hadn’t been there before.
because of lin jing’s disappearance, ye yun’s cultivation had become even more zealous, and now his level had surpassed that of yue qi and li qingqing.
he was the only one among the few golden core cultivators on li yan island who had broken through to the mid-stage of golden core.
even li qingqing, although she had started a few years earlier than ye yun,
was now only at the third layer of golden core cultivation.
whereas yue qi, due to the nature of her spiritual root, had only managed one breakthrough over this long period.
she was currently at the second layer of golden core cultivation.
but now that lin jing had returned,
everything became easier.
with lin jing present, he could craft gathering yuan pills to help them break through swiftly.
of course, to achieve a breakthrough, the quality of one’s spiritual root is the most important factor.
besides crafting gathering yuan pills,
lin jing also needed to start collecting materials for the cleansing spirit elixir.
