Chapter 367 Arrival in Zhongzhou
Chapter 367 Arrival in Zhongzhou
As part of the obedience test, Tian Lin, who refused to obey, became the best negative example.
Although Master Tingyu could not intentionally harm Tian Lin due to the oath he made before Hou Tu, it did not prevent him from isolating Tian Lin.
For example, he found dozens of storage bags in the village, and some ordinary magic tools.
Master Tingyu gave two each to Langguan and Erdangjia, but Tian Lin was the only one who didn't get any.
Without a storage bag, Tian Lin would not be able to take away any spirit stones the mine produced.
Fortunately, Tian Lin’s cultivation is now in the late stage of foundation building. As long as he does not fight with others, his true energy will be enough for a long time.
Master Tingyu didn't give him a storage bag, and he didn't force it. He simply cut wood to make a cart, pulled a whole cart of spiritual stones in the mine, and planned to pull the cart himself when he set out.
Privately, Langguan and the second in command also advised Tian Lin to give in, after all, Master Tingyu would not harm him.
But Tian Lin refused, as he was different from Langguan and the second in command.
He is not from this world and is destined to leave this world.
He didn't really want to be trained as a slave by Master Tingyu.
They stayed in the mine for a few more days, until the storage bags of Master Tingyu, Langguan and the Second in Command were full.
It was not until dozens of zombies pulled dozens of carts of spiritual ore that Master Tingyu waved his sleeves and moved huge rocks and plants to bury the mine.
Two zombies carried the sedan chair and took Master Tingyu on their way.
Behind Master Tingyu were the Langguan and the Second in Command, as well as a group of zombies pulling carts.
Tian Lin was also among the zombies, pulling a cart. The spiritual stones on the cart he was pulling were his own.
Fortunately, although the mountain road was difficult to travel on, with his skills, pulling a cart of heavy objects was not greatly affected.
Because Master Tingyu cleared the way, and there were too many zombies in the team, no ghosts dared to block the way.
By traveling day and night like this, we will soon reach Zhongzhou.
But the closer they got to Zhongzhou, the slower the team moved.
It was not for any other reason, but simply because Tian Lin and others saw more and more Hua Hualang along the way.
These Huahualang teams ranged from hundreds to thousands of people. Without exception, more than 90% of them were cultivators.
Most of these cultivators are at the Golden Core stage, and they haven't encountered any Nascent Soul cultivators yet.
But it can be predicted that when we get close to the inner area of Jingzhou, there will probably be quite a few Nascent Soul masters.
Although Master Tingyu has recovered to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, he does not have the confidence that he is invincible.
During this period, he had seen the chaos of the "refugees" outside Jingzhou. After slaughtering several blind Huahualang teams, he was also worried that he would be slaughtered by other Nascent Soul or even God Transformation masters if he was too conspicuous.
"I plan to bury this zombie group in the ground. Then we can keep a low profile and travel on the road. What do you think?"
Master Tingyu has already gotten off the sedan chair and is no longer as ostentatious as before.
"This matter is entirely up to Brother Seven."
Langguan and Erdangjia "passed" the obedience test and now call Master Tingyu "Seventh Brother".
Only Tian Lin frowned and did not obey Master Tingyu's words: "If only the four of us go on the road, it will seem less conspicuous; those gods and Yuanying masters will not notice us, but those Jindan and foundation-building cultivators will probably think we are easy to bully."
Master Tingyu said, "As long as we don't attract the attention of the powerful gods, what are some small troubles? Anyway, it's settled."
He had no intention of negotiating with anyone, so he found a slope and used his magical powers to bury all the zombies in the ground.
A few dozen zombies wouldn't help Master Tingyu much in terms of combat power. But a few dozen zombies would be a huge fortune. Even people at the Nascent Soul stage would covet them.
Master Tingyu doesn't want to fight with the Nascent Soul expert now, because he still has a huge amount of spirit stones on him.
In this world, every time you use a spirit stone, you have one less; every time you use your true energy, you have one less.
Even powerful gods would fight for spirit stones.
Master Tingyu is well aware that it is a crime to possess a treasure, so he just wants to keep a low profile now.
The walking zombies were buried, and all the carts of spirit stones they were pulling were put into the newly stolen storage bags.
In the last section of the journey, there were always some ignorant people who jumped out to find trouble. Master Tingyu killed many people and robbed storage bags.
Including Tian Lin, he now has three storage bags on his waist.
"From now on, the four of us will be called the eldest, the second, the third, and the fourth."
Master Tingyu said: "When you practice, be careful not to reveal the fact that you have hidden the spiritual stones."
In his heart, he actually wanted to kill Langguan, Tianlin and the other two. In this way, he could not only monopolize all the spirit stones, but also not have to worry about the risk of the information about the spirit stones and the mine being exposed.
However, the oath he made before Hou Tu prevented him from taking action against Tian Lin and others.
"Among the four of us, who is the eldest and who is the second in command?"
Tian Lin smiled and said, "From what you said, Lao Qi, we should all call you Big Brother from now on?"
Master Tingyu's face darkened, and he stared at Tian Lin and said, "What's the matter, Lao Liu, do you want to be the boss?"
Tian Lin said: "I don't care who is the boss, it's just an empty title. But being the boss will always attract a lot of attention. Are you sure you can hide your cultivation from the eyes of the powerful gods?"
Master Tingyu said confidently: "I have not been around for nothing these many years. Unless the other party has cultivated the true eye, he will definitely not be able to see through my disguise."
After he finished speaking, his figure and appearance changed, and he became a bald strong man, no longer looking old and frail.
Unfortunately, Tian Lin, who had eaten the real eye fruit, was still able to distinguish the true from the false and see the old man's soul.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to disguise the soul as well.
A person's true nature grows with his soul.
Tian Lin didn’t know whether others had cultivated true eyes, but at least the old man couldn’t hide it from his eyes.
"Okay, you are the boss in the middle stage of Jindan, then I will be the second in the late stage of foundation building."
Tian Lin said to Langguan and Erdangjia: "It's not that I want to take advantage of you two brothers, but my cultivation is not easy to hide."
Langguan and Erdang said, "Sixth Brother, there is no need to explain. Actually, it is okay for you to be the second brother. After all, we are just Qi-refining cultivators. In this world, seniority should be determined according to one's cultivation level."
It can be said that the old man’s obedience tests during this period were very effective, and the temperaments of Langguan and Erdangjia had been somewhat deformed by him.
After the group had completed the discussion, they continued on their way towards Zhongzhou.
But without the zombies' escort, more people came to test the four people on the road.
However, most of the cultivators who tested the four were foundation-building cultivators. Just as Master Tingyu said, they were all small troubles that could be easily solved.
After Master Tingyu killed several Foundation Establishment Monks and tied their heads to his own belt, even these small troubles became less common.
Finally, the group arrived outside the city of Zhongzhou without any hindrance.
