chapter 446: chapter 143 jian yunxiang
just like that, the night quickly passed.
it wasn’t until the next day, after everything had returned to calm, that lin jing moved the black boulder aside and walked out of the cave.
last night, in the latter half of the night, lin jing observed the outside again and didn’t find anything unusual.
after his observation, he cultivated in the system space until morning.
early the next morning, after coming out of the cave, lin jing went back to the spot where he had parted ways with qi yuanshu to regroup with him.
by the time lin jing arrived, qi yuanshu was already waiting there.
seeing lin jing appear, qi yuanshu looked at him with a somewhat strange expression.
only when lin jing walked over did qi yuanshu speak:
“lin daoyou…”
“last night, did you come to the entrance of my cave to look for me?”
lin jing looked at qi yuanshu and said:
“no, but…”
“last night i heard your voice inside the cave, and you were continuously trying to lure me out…”
upon hearing this, qi yuanshu let out a sigh of relief and said:
“indeed…”
“that must have been the doings of the blood corpses the black-robed elder mentioned.”
“last night, i encountered the same situation. unlike you, lin daoyou, the voice outside the entrance of my cave was yours…”
“in addition to that, there were voices of other friends i had known before, as well as relatives who had died hundreds of years ago…”
“had i not been cautious and constantly reminding myself, i might have been lured by the voices to open the cave by now.”
lin jing nodded lightly and said:
“i was the same as qi daoyou, almost falling for it at the beginning due to a moment of carelessness…”
“luckily, we had made a deal with the black-robed elder and were prepared in advance. otherwise, i’m afraid we wouldn’t have survived last night.”
qi yuanshu also nodded with lingering fear and said:
“yes…”
“this devouring spirit blood realm is indeed too dangerous.”
after speaking, qi yuanshu couldn’t help but express his emotion:
“i wonder how many of the people who came here with us are still alive…”
lin jing then looked toward the direction they came from and lamented:
“each to their own fate…”
“in this place, merely surviving is already no small feat.”
qi yuanshu also sighed and said:
“sigh…”
“indeed.”
then, qi yuanshu said to lin jing:
“lin daoyou, shall we continue forward?”
lin jing nodded and replied:
“of course…”
“we at least need to find out the specifics of this devouring spirit blood realm, and most importantly, how we are supposed to get out.”
after hearing this, qi yuanshu nodded.
then, the two of them went on together towards the front.
just like that,
two more days quickly went by.
during these two nights, both of them went through without incident, safe and sound.
over these two days, lin jing and company encountered some other cultivators, some who had come in with them and others who had been sent here earlier, the time of their arrival unknown.
some of these cultivators, upon meeting lin jing and his group, tried to make deals with them like the black-robed elder, taking advantage of the fact that they were unfamiliar with each other.
but after knowing the great importance of spirit stones, lin jing and qi yuanshu were naturally very cautious.
and those people were asking for a high price.
so the pair did not come to terms with anyone.
of course, there were also some who were very cautious around them, who would immediately avoid them upon meeting, not even stopping to speak a word.
the cultivators who had been sent here with them were the same way.
perhaps after a few nights, these cultivators became more vigilant, and even when facing fellow cultivators who had been sent here with them, they were still not letting their guard down.
as a result, lin jing and his companion didn’t find out any useful information in those two days.
it wasn’t until the third day that qi yuanshu finally met a friend.
when he saw this person, qi yuanshu was extremely thrilled and quickly called out to his friend.
“jian brother, i didn’t expect to see you here.”
“you’re safe, that’s so good…”
“i had not heard from you for so long, i thought you might have perished.”
then, qi yuanshu approached the familiar person with a smile.
upon seeing qi yuanshu, the cultivator with the surname jian was startled at first, then, coming to his senses, he also expressed his surprise:
“qi brother…”
“how did you end up in here as well?”
“did you also attend the shen family shop’s trade fair in bihai city?”
hearing the man mention the shen family shop’s trade fair, lin jing immediately looked up at him.
however, lin jing had never seen this person before.
qi yuanshu then said confusedly:
“the shen family shop auction?”
“i didn’t hear about it. we were together at xian yu island’s trade fair, where we were deceived and sent here.”
the cultivator named jian gave a wry smile and said:
“exactly…”
“the same old trick, just different packaging…”
“it seems that those who deceived us here are likely the same people.”
at that moment,
lin jing stepped forward and asked:
“fellow daoist, were you tricked into coming here after attending the trade fair at shen family shop in bihai city?”
the cultivator named jian looked at lin jing, nodded, and said:
“yes…”
then, qi yuanshu pointed to lin jing and introduced him to the cultivator named jian:
“jian brother, this is lin jing, lin daoyou…”
