Chapter 188 - Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Treasure Hunt (2/2)

Was indeed undoubtedly that of soil.

I never expected to actually find it myself.

Lin Jing’s heart instantly swelled with joy.

However, just at that moment.

A crisp and familiar voice came from behind Lin Jing.

“Lin Jing…?”

There was a hint of uncertainty in that voice.

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Jing turned around and to his surprise, he saw Huang Qingling standing there with a lively expression.

Behind Huang Qingling stood Li Tangyu and Li Qingqing.

Seeing Lin Jing turn around, Huang Qingling immediately smiled happily:

“It really is you, I thought I was seeing things…”

“Who would have thought, without a word, you also came treasure hunting…”

In theory…

At this time, Lin Jing was supposed to be in his courtyard, engaged in alchemy.

But, he had come out.

And now he had been caught red-handed by Huang Qingling.

At the moment, Lin Jing was holding a piece of broken wood, which made the situation somewhat awkward.

Fortunately, Lin Jing responded quickly, releasing his hold and letting the wood fall to the ground, hastily replying:

“Yes…”

“After a failed alchemy attempt last night, I felt somewhat downcast, so I went out today for a stroll and heard news of a Golden Core battle, so I thought I’d come and have a look.”

“After arriving here, seeing many people treasure hunting, I was taken by the moment and started searching as well.”

“Fellow Daoist Qingling, brother Li, Qingqing…”

“What brings you here, too…”

At that point, Li Tangyu approached Lin Jing and said:

“To be honest, Lin brother, like you, they were impulsive to come treasure hunting…”

“And I didn’t have any pressing matters, so I joined them…”

“If I’d known you were also interested, I would have asked you to join us,” Huang Qingling said.

“It’s the same now…” Lin Jing said with a smile.

Then, Lin Jing asked Li Tangyu:

“Brother Li, why are there so many people here looking for treasure? Is there really something valuable?”

The battle from yesterday had already ended, and Elder Master Li had probably already returned to the Li Family.

Therefore, Lin Jing thought to ask Li Tangyu to see if anything had been left behind after the great battle of yesterday.

Li Tangyu replied with a smile:

“So Lin brother, you didn’t know what was going on either.”

“Yeah, I was just out for a stroll today when I heard about the battle and got curious, so I followed over…” Lin Jing replied.

“To tell the truth, there really is…” Li Tangyu began.

“Oh…?”

“Please, I’d like to hear more about it…”

Lin Jing was now also showing interest.

After that, Li Tangyu continued:

“It’s just that yesterday, during their fight, a rootstock of the Blood Red Zhu Fruit dropped here on the battlefield.”

“Blood Red Zhu Fruit rootstock…” Lin Jing appeared astonished.

“Yes, the Blood Red Zhu Fruit rootstock…”

Li Tangyu nodded.

“We also found out from Grandfather that a rootstock of the Blood Red Zhu Fruit was lost on the battlefield, and that’s why we thought to come here and look,” Li Qingqing spoke up at this moment.

“I see…” Lin Jing nodded slightly.

Then, Li Tangyu continued:

“Because the fight yesterday was too intense, they could not afford to be distracted to search for it.”

“In the end…”

“That battle almost turned the entire area upside down.”

“And those Golden Core Immortals from the Fang Market managed to claim a narrow victory, hurrying back to heal their wounds, and temporarily put this matter out of their minds.”

“However, looking at the situation…”

“Somehow, this information was leaked…”
