Chapter 335 - Chapter 335: Chapter 37 Bihai City (2/2)
“Furthermore…”
“You ought not to underestimate those people. Those who can reside within Bihai City either have extraordinary backing or exceptional personal strength, and not a single one of them is easy to provoke.”
“Especially these individuals, you mustn’t provoke them carelessly. Although within Bihai City they won’t cause you trouble,”
“once outside Bihai City, it’s a different story…”
“Understood, thank you, Yan Daoyou, for solving my doubts,” Lin Jing nodded in response.
Not long after, it was Lin Jing and his companions’ turn.
Lin Jing stepped forward directly, handing over three Spirit Stones to the guard captain.
After weighing the Spirit Stones in his hand, the guard captain allowed the three to pass.
……
Upon entering Bihai City, what met their eyes was a bustling scene.
Countless cultivators bustled about, making the already spacious main street of Bihai City seem somewhat crowded.
For certain reasons, there was not a single mortal within Bihai City, the lowest level being cultivators at the Qi Refinement Realm.
But one should not take lightly the Qi Refinement Realm cultivators that were able to come to Bihai City.
It might be that they were apprentices to some Nascent Soul powerhouse, or the offspring of important figures from top forces that dominated the Southern Outer Sea.
Even if their forces were a bit weaker, they would not dare to let their offspring come to Bihai City.
After all…
The journey here was not safe at all.
On the way, one might encounter demon cultivators, bandit cultivators, and the like.
Even without these, the enemies of these forces would certainly try to cause trouble.
Only those top forces would not fear interference from others, allowing their offspring to come here.
As for those lower-tier cultivators who lived in Bihai City, that goes without saying.
……
“Brother Jiu…”
“Is San He still in the usual spot, or should we go find him now?”
Lu Youjiu gave Yan Wanfei a glance and replied:
“Yes…”
“San He mentioned earlier that he took on a mission, waiting for us to complete it together.”
“Had you not run all over the place, we probably would have finished the mission by now.”
Hearing Lu Youjiu say this, Yan Wanfei, looking somewhat guilty, shrank his head and chuckled sheepishly to Lu Youjiu:
“Heh heh…”
“Alright, let’s go.”
After that, Lu Youjiu moved on, paying no more attention to Yan Wanfei, and walked straight ahead.
The three of them continued along the street, heading deeper into the city.
Along the way, many buildings were magnificent and imposing.
They were far more impressive than what Lin Jing had previously seen in Nanshan Immortal City.
And Yan Wanfei kept introducing them to Lin Jing.
“Look, this is the Welcoming Immortal Residence, the largest tavern in the whole of Bihai City. Whatever you wish to eat, they can prepare here, and they even have special feasts for Divine Transformation Cultivators.”
“It’s said that after enjoying the immortal feast, even Divine Transformation Cultivators can advance further in their cultivation.”
Yan Wanfei pointed at a majestic building that was nine stories high and decorated in an ancient style.
Lin Jing, gazing at this extremely grandiose structure, could not help but be amazed; compared to this, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion he had seen before was nothing special.
“Come, look at this…”
Lin Jing looked up, following the direction of Yan Wanfei’s pointing finger.
The building he saw was also nine stories high, like the Welcoming Immortal Residence, but this one was resplendent in gold and radiance, adorned like an Immortal Palace.
The signboard on it was inscribed with the gilded characters ‘Changyun Pill Pavilion’.
“This is the Changyun Pill Pavilion of the Changyun Clan, a very famous name throughout the Demonic Monster Sea.”
“It’s said that they are an Ancient Alchemy Family just like the Lin Family that perished a thousand years ago.”
“You should know that the Ancient Alchemy Path is exceedingly precious and can even increase the chance of refining Pure Elixir Medicine.”
“Moreover, as a family passed down from the Ancient Era, surely their household is filled with countless top-notch powerhouses, ensuring their remarkable strength.”
Lin Jing nodded as he observed the glittering building.
Yan Wanfei then continued:
“It’s just a pity that the Ancient Alchemical Dao Family Lin met complete destruction a thousand years ago. They must have been envied for their long-hereditary Ancient Alchemy Path, leading to their annihilation.”
“After all, that’s the Ancient Alchemy Path, which can increase the chance of refining Pure Elixirs. Who wouldn’t want it?”
Watching Yan Wanfei speak with such conviction, Lin Jing’s interest was piqued.
“Yan Daoyou, could it be that you know the inside story of the Lin Family’s downfall?”
The Lin Family met their end.
Lin Jing had learned a bit about it while he was on Immortal Crossing Island.
If they had indeed weakened due to that curse, it would have been possible for those with ulterior motives to take advantage of the situation, wipe out the Lin Family, and seize their Pill Dao.
However, no sooner had Lin Jing finished speaking than Yan Wanfei shook his head and said:
“I’m not sure; these are just my speculations, and there are many similar stories circulating outside.”
Lin Jing was momentarily speechless. A mere speculation was presented so convincingly that he had almost believed it.
“Isn’t it true though? That’s the Ancient Alchemy Path. Otherwise, why would the Lin Family, which has survived countless eras as one of the most top-tier Ancient Families, abruptly fall into decline and extinction?”
At that moment, Lu Youjiu turned his head back and spoke:
“What you spoke of, I’ve heard a different theory…”
“Brother Jiu, what is that theory?” Yan Wanfei looked puzzled as he turned his gaze to Lu Youjiu.
“It’s said that once upon a time, an old ancestor of the Lin Family disappeared without a trace with the most crucial part of the family’s Alchemy Dao heritage,” Lu Youjiu explained.
“Since then, the Lin Family’s Alchemy Dao was lost, leading to their decline.”
