Chapter 348 Despair

Chapter 348 Despair
It didn’t take long to pick the fruit, about half an hour, and the women who picked the fruit returned to the camp one after another.

There were more than ten people when they went out, but when they came back, there were less than ten women left.

Needless to say, those who did not return probably went too far away and would never come back; or, they were attacked by wandering souls and lost their lives completely.

Fortunately, this group of Huahualang had experienced a lot and were accustomed to death, so they were not troubled by any fear.

The official over there began to arrange people to keep watch at night, while the rest began to close their eyes and fall asleep.

Sleeping is one of the few happiest things for mortals in this last days. In sleep, we can probably forget hunger and fatigue;
Tian Lin and Master Tingyu did not sleep. They were both meditating quietly with their eyes closed.

Tian Lin even took the opportunity to secretly eat three ghost-crying fruits.

The Ghost Crying Fruit is called [Transformation Pill] in the entry, and it can transform into golden spiritual energy.

It’s a pity that the quality of this [Zhuan Huan Dan] is too low, and just a few ghost crying fruits cannot provide much golden spiritual energy to Tian Lin.

But even so, Tian Lin still recovered a lot of his strength with the help of the Ghost Crying Fruit.

It was soon the second half of the night, and people in the camp began to take turns standing guard.

At this time, Master Tingyu finally opened his eyes from meditation.

He asked Tian Lin: "Do you feel the spiritual energy?"

Tian Lin shook his head, and Master Tingyu said anxiously:

"In theory, even though my cultivation has disappeared, the talent for cultivation will never disappear! Moreover, I am a Yuanying cultivator, so it should be very easy for me to sense spiritual energy again.

But I have been meditating for a long time, but I can't sense any spiritual energy in this world. Is it because you and I are not cultivators from this world? Or is this space a complete illusion? "

Tian Lin didn't say anything, but just looked at the official who was walking over not far away.

Although Langguan had the highest status among the dozens of people present, he still did not give himself the privilege of "not having to take turns".

It was the second half of the night, and the officials were changing shifts.

"I saw your performance in pulling the cart during the day, and it's true that you are not comparable to ordinary people. By the way, are you two also cultivators?"

His words explained why the second in command's attitude towards them had improved.

Tian Lin also understood from this that this young official had seen Master Tingyu meditating before.

"We are not cultivators, we have just read some immortal books."

"I think you have indeed obtained the cultivation method by chance. It's a pity that you started practicing too late. There is no spiritual energy available for people to practice now."

After hearing this, Master Tingyu couldn't help but question, "If there is no spiritual energy in the world, then why do you have the cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining? And the second in command also has the cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining?"

Langguan said: "This world has no spiritual energy, but there are still some spiritual fruits left. The Second Master and I all got the opportunity in our early years and gained cultivation by eating spiritual fruits.
But now, the Great Qi Dynasty has entered its last days. There is not even enough food to fill the stomach, let alone such spiritual fruits? "

Master Tingyu was stunned and still a little unconvinced.

He was a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator who had achieved enlightenment in Nanzhou after the advent of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Nanzhou, after all, is also the Great Qi Dynasty——

If the land of the Great Qi Dynasty has lost its spiritual energy, then where did the spiritual energy of Nanzhou, Beihuang and other places come from after the disappearance of the Great Qi Dynasty?
"In short, you don't have spiritual fruit, so even if you have immortal arts, you can't practice them, so there's no need to waste your energy."

The official said, "The heavens have sent down a calamity to punish the Great Qi Dynasty, so they want no more immortals. So they first cut off the spiritual energy that the cultivators of the Great Qi Dynasty rely on for cultivation. The heavens also want the people of the Great Qi Dynasty to die, so there are famines every year in the world. The edible plants are slowly becoming fewer and withering and no longer growing, while the poisonous plants are able to thrive and survive!"

"So, the people of Da Qi are destined to die out?"

"It is unknown whether the people of Daqi will die or not. But the mortals of Daqi are destined to die first. Those noble families and royal families have accumulated spiritual fruits and immortal trees. Although these spiritual fruits and immortal trees will be exhausted sooner or later, they are enough for them to enjoy for tens of thousands of years.

We, the Huahualang, are not going to Zhongzhou to seek immortality. We are going to ask these noble families and the royal family to share some food with us so that we can survive;"

After hearing this, Tian Lin began to have doubts.

Will the noble families and royal family of Zhongzhou really share some food with those mortals?
I'm afraid the official already has the answer in mind.

But what makes people despair is that even though they know that the aristocratic families and the royal family will not share the grain with them, they can only go to Zhongzhou with full of hope and try their luck.

Because apart from this, they have no other way to go.

"How far is this place from Zhongzhou?"

Tian Lin asked, and the official replied: "It's probably more than 100,000 miles from here to Zhongzhou!"

It's more than 100,000 miles away, there's no food, and there are wandering spirits and evil spirits everywhere. When will we be able to arrive?

Tian Lin had already foreseen that there was no way this team would be able to reach Zhongzhou.

This team will most likely starve to death on the road, or die at the hands of evil spirits.

"We are still relatively lucky. For those who grew up in the southern border and northern wilderness, it would take them tens of millions of miles to reach Zhongzhou."

The official seemed to see that Tian Lin had no hope for the future of this team, so he said this with a smile.

"Your Excellency is right. As long as we keep going east, we will reach Zhongzhou one day!"

After saying a few words, the official left his post.

After the official left, Tingyu Zhenren asked Tian Lin, "Tell me, is what the official said alarmist? Is he lying to us?"

Tian Lin shook his head: "In the end, he didn't ask us what magic we practiced. I'm afraid he really doesn't care what magic we practiced. This world may really have no spiritual energy anymore."

Whether this world has spiritual energy or not is of no importance to Tian Lin.

To put it in a darker way, no one in this world can become an immortal. As long as Tian Lin can still do so, the situation is not bad.

Nothing happened that night. The next day, the sun rose as usual, and the group set out on their journey again.

Perhaps it was his intuition that Langguan's words were true, and there was no spiritual energy in the world that could be used for cultivation, so Master Tingyu was shocked.

He was in such a bad mood that he had no energy to do anything.

If he had thought that he could recover a certain level of cultivation through meditation when he first entered this world, now that he knew the situation in this world, he had to accept the fact that he might just be an old mortal for the rest of his life.

"Tell me, if we were brought into this world by the magic sword, what is the meaning of it creating such a world?"

"Tell me, is this world real or illusory?"

"When can we get out?"

The old man had questions every now and then along the way, Tian Lin felt helpless and said, "Think about it carefully, there are more than just you and me who have entered this world. Several other Nascent Soul masters have also entered this world, and they are not in a hurry, so why should you and I be in a hurry?"

Master Tingyu nodded!

They didn't know whether those Nascent Soul cultivators who had also entered this world were anxious or not, but when they thought that they were not the only two who were unlucky, Master Tingyu's mood indeed improved a lot.
