NOVPUBChapter 969: Chapter 514: Yuquan Market Chapter 969: Chapter 514: Yuquan Market Three days quietly passed by.
At the break of dawn this day, as the morning glows were just beginning to rise,
Atop a mountain head more than ten miles away from Qingyun Sect Mountain Gate, Lin Tianming and the others came back into view.
And today was the day when the few major powers of the Qingyun Sect, according to prior agreement, were to hand over the Spirit Stones.
Lin Tianming and his group waited for a moment until He Lanjun and people from several major powers emerged from the Qingyun Sect and approached everyone.
They exchanged smiles and greetings, then immediately dove into the main topic.
He Lanjun, Feng Changgong, and Wang Huashan each waved their sleeves, and three storage bags flew towards Lin Tianming and his party.
Seeing this, Zhou Yunxiao grabbed the storage bags in his hand, and then sent his Divine Sense inside to check.
...
Immediately after, he nodded in satisfaction and handed the bags over to Lin Tianming and Lu Xingfeng to inspect one by one.
Soon, after the investigation of the four of them, each of the three storage bags contained five million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, clearly the stakes that the three sects had lost in a bet previously.
Just then, after Chen Maohua finished his inspection, Zhou Yunxiao bowed to He Lanjun and the others across from him with a smile, “The three Daoist friends are indeed trustworthy. We will accept these Spirit Stones!”
“Hehe… it should be so!”
“It’s our promised territory that will be handed over within the next year. At that time, just arrange for Sect Disciples to take care of this matter.”
Feng Changgong returned with a smile, seemingly not taking these things to heart.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunxiao couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
Then he also replied, “We will arrange our Disciples to handle this matter immediately upon our return!”
“Since everything is in order, we will take our leave now!”
With those words spoken, Lin Tianming and the others bowed their hands from afar.
“We’ll meet again in the future!”
“Safe travels, friends. We’ll meet again in the future!”
Feng Changgong and his people also bowed in return and then watched as Lin Tianming and the others disappeared from sight.
Having left the outskirts of Qingyun Sect, Lin Tianming and his party were in very good spirits. After all, the journey had been extremely smooth, and all parties had received a wealth of rewards.
When they returned to the valley where they had stayed for a few days, a group of Golden Core Cultivators gathered.
At this moment, Zhou Yunxiao looked at the excited few and then spoke up with a suggestion, “Fellow Daoists, now that everything is settled, let’s immediately set off and return to Wei Kingdom, shall we?”
“Um…”
Lu Xingfeng nodded and then continued, “After all, this place is the territory of Huangyang Kingdom. Apart from the Three Great Powers of Qingyun Sect, the other two families are not easy to handle. I think it’s best that we leave early!”
“Alright, let’s set off immediately!”
Zhou Yunxiao said excitedly.
It was at this time that Lin Tianming took over the conversation.
“Fellow Daoists, I plan to travel alone in Huangyang Kingdom for a while. My two elders from the Lin Family can accompany you on the journey back to Hui Ethnicity.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunxiao and Lu Xingfeng looked puzzled, obviously not understanding why Lin Tianming intended to stay and travel alone in Huangyang Kingdom given the situation.
However, seeing Lin Tianming full of confidence, as though he had great faith in his own strength,
They were just outsiders, after all, and didn’t feel it was their place to ask too much.
As for Lin Shikang and Ye Pinghai, they had already been informed of Lin Tianming’s plan.
Even though they were worried, they had tried persuading him for quite a while.
But seeing that Lin Tianming was adamant and that his display of strength during the major battle was on par with any Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator,
And even against a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator, he was not without the power to fight; even if he were not a match for a Late Stage Golden Core Cultivator, there was still a good chance of retreating in one piece.
Under such circumstances, Lin Shikang and the other just gave some instructions and let Lin Tianming go.
At this juncture, seeing that Lin Shikang had no objections, Zhou Yunxiao also didn’t say much else.
Right after, Zhou Yunxiao took out a detailed map of Huangyang Kingdom and handed it to Lin Tianming.
“Tianming, this map is quite detailed; I’ll give it to you!”
“Haha… thank you, Daoist Zhou!”
Lin Tianming laughed as he took the map, and then politely refused.
“It’s getting late, let’s set off!”
After saying that, Zhou Yunxiao bowed to Lin Tianming and took the lead flying towards a nearby Flying Boat.
Following Zhou Yunxiao’s move, Lu Xingfeng and the others all bid farewell to Lin Tianming and then boarded the Flying Boat one after another.
“Tianming, remember, Huangyang Kingdom is overall stronger than Wei Kingdom, so be extremely cautious in everything!”
After Ye Pinghai gave his advice, Lin Shikang also chimed in.
“Yes…”
“What Grandpa Sea is saying is right. Don’t expose your cultivation strength lightly in this place and try not to find trouble.”
“If anything goes wrong, don’t act recklessly and return to the family first.”
“Third Grandfather, Grandpa Sea, rest assured, Tianming has a measure of it all!”
Lin Tianming replied with a promise.
Hearing this, both Lin Shikang and the other nodded, then without saying more, turned and flew towards the Flying Boat.
Soon, the Flying Boat soared into the air, quickly entering the layers of clouds thousands of feet high, and then disappeared in the direction of the north.
Watching the Flying Boat vanish, Lin Tianming also did not delay and leaped away, disappearing into the valley.
…
One month later.
The Flying Boat appeared atop a mountain within the Luoyun Mountain Range, and Lin Shikang and the other jumped down from it.
Then, Zhou Yunxiao and the others didn’t stay either and continued piloting the Flying Boat to fly north.
Watching the Flying Boat grow farther and disappearing in the sky,
Lin Shikang, with a smile on his face, said to Ye Pinghai, “Brother Ye, let’s go too!”
“Haha… time to head home!”
Ye Pinghai laughed heartily, his mood genuinely pleasant, covering up the traces of fatigue on his face.
