Chapter 228: The Most Dangerous Place

~8 min read 1,555 words

Venerable Ling Quan looked at Lin Jing with a very dark face and said, "Little fellow, so you didn't give up the struggle for the Heaven Treasure, but slaughtered the competitors and obtained the final treasure?"

Lin Jing said helplessly, "Cave heaven rules, just self-defense."

"Senior Ling Quan, what do you think about what I said..." He firmly believed that these days, those who owed money were the bosses.

As long as the money hadn't been repaid, the person most afraid of you dying was the creditor.

And now, he was the boss who owed money.

Venerable Ling Quan was the creditor.

Venerable Ling Quan shook his head and said, "The cave heaven descended on the commercial street of Tianqing City, and the Qingming Chamber of Commerce even blocked the commercial street. Any cultivator in Tianqing City could guess that you must have had contact with the Qingming Chamber of Commerce..."

"If I let you go, it would be no different from slapping Venerable Bai Xuan in the face, making him hold a grudge!"

"The overall strength of this Tai Xuan Sect is no less than the Qingming Chamber of Commerce; it is the leader of the Tai Xuan Dao sects, with a Ancestor Kong Xuan ancestor in seclusion inside. This Venerable Bai Xuan is one of the eight-colored venerables of Tai Xuan, so..."

"You have to pay more!" He looked at Lin Jing. "It's no problem to secretly let you go, but you haven't returned the owed pills, and it will bring me some trouble. It wouldn't be right without some compensation!"

"I don't want much, just your promise to return the owed pills within a year. For every year you are late, the number of pills owed will double!"

"What kind of ghost interest is that." Lin Jing's mouth twitched.

"How about it?" Venerable Ling Quan stared at Lin Jing. Compared to the Tai Xuan Sect, he valued the market value of the Taotie Pill more.

Actually, letting Lin Jing go didn't matter.

But compared to the Tai Xuan Sect's questioning, he was more worried that... Lin Jing would leave and not come back, running away with the debt.

The owed pills for a high-grade strange fire didn't matter; the main thing was that he couldn't get the sales rights for the Taotie Pill later, which made Venerable Ling Quan, a businessman, very uncomfortable.

In his view, as long as he could get the subsequent sales rights for the Taotie Pill, offending Venerable Bai Xuan was worth it.

After all, offending Venerable Bai Xuan was equivalent to befriending Lin Jing. A genius who could fight his way out of the Heaven Treasure Cave Heaven—regardless of himself, the Pill Venerable master standing behind him was definitely not a simple character.

An ordinary Deity Transformation expert versus a Pill Venerable—Venerable Ling Quan understood very well who could bring greater benefits.

The condition he proposed for letting Lin Jing go was actually not worth mentioning; it was just to release a friendly signal to Lin Jing.

Also, letting Lin Jing make a promise rather than signing a contract was also a manifestation of goodwill, mainly to let Lin Jing remember that there was still a lonely old businessman in Tianqing City waiting for him.

After Lin Jing pondered slightly, he said, "Okay."

Just return it within a year.

As for now, he really didn't have many Taotie Pills.

Both sides completed the transaction, and Venerable Ling Quan flew away: "The Tai Xuan Dao is far from the Qingming Dao.

Qingzhou has no space teleportation arrays. Even with Deity Transformation cultivation, traveling at full speed will take some time. Take care of yourself and leave this region as soon as possible."

After sending Venerable Ling Quan away, Lin Jing entered the Pill Pavilion in a melancholy mood and began to pack his luggage...

"Leaving is impossible."

Immediately after, he condensed an illusion, transformed it into his own image, flew out of the Pill Pavilion, and under the eyes of everyone, flew out of Tianqing City.

As for his true self, he didn't leave Tianqing City at all, but escaped into the Hourglass of Time and disappeared from the outside world.

He had an appointment to meet Senior Brother Ouyang on this commercial street. How could they meet if he went far away? Since they had to meet sooner or later, it was better not to leave at all.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. As long as many people see my illusion leave Tianqing City, even if the Tai Xuan Sect cultivators arrive later, they will be misled!"

Hiding in the different space of the Hourglass of Time, Lin Jing could wait with peace of mind for Senior Brother Ouyang to return to Tianqing City.

…………

A void world full of gravel. After Lin Jing entered here, he felt no different from the outside world. If he had to say, it was that the spiritual energy was richer, far exceeding the pet beast space of the Songye Rat and the Long Li, as well as the academy cave dwelling.

As for the time flow, as the master of the Hourglass of Time, he could see the outside world. Everything outside seemed extremely slow, forming a sharp contrast with the hourglass world.

"Good stuff..." Lin Jing said silently, feeling that his own safety had been greatly enhanced. Now, as long as it wasn't a Ancestor Kong Xuan expert who specialized in the Dao of Time, no one would be able to find this place.

"More time."

"I'll wait until the agreed meeting time with Senior Brother Ouyang before going out. I'll just wait for him slowly here."

"Imperial Dao spells, Illusion Dao spells... Forget it, let's try this. Can't waste it."

Lin Jing sat cross-legged in the gravel, took out the Three Heads and Six Arms technique obtained from the Demon Ancestor ruins, began to practice, and summoned the Songye Rat to plant trees and forests, slightly changing this barren environment.

…………

At the same time.

After a period of time, a giant bird arrived at Tianqing City from the boundless high sky, on which were Ouyang Hao and Xu Qingyao who came with him.

Because Xu Qingyao came together, the two rode a Deity Transformation Demon Emperor, and the speed was much earlier than Senior Brother Ouyang expected, arriving far earlier than the agreed time.

"Damn, what's going on? Where is the shop? Where are the people???"

The commercial street was reopened, but Ouyang Hao, leading the senior sister and standing before the Nameless Pill Pavilion, fell into deep thought, because the Pill Pavilion where Lin Jing was located was now covered with seal strips.

The walls of the pavilion were also covered with wanted posters from the Tai Xuan Sect, and the person rewarded was none other than the alchemist image Lin Jing had transformed into.

"Hmm?" Xu Qingyao glanced at Ouyang Hao, seemingly wanting an explanation.

Seeing this, Ouyang Hao immediately went to the shop next door and asked: "Fellow Daoist, do you know what's going on with this Nameless Pill Pavilion! Their contraceptive pills are good, and I wanted to buy a few more."

"Why is it wanted? Did the pills kill someone?"

The Fake Core old man in the shop next door was stunned and said: "Fellow Daoist, you don't know. Not long ago, the owner of this Nameless Pill Pavilion was involved in the cave heaven, killed a true disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect inside the cave heaven, and is now wanted by the Tai Xuan Sect. As for the person himself, he escaped at the first opportunity!"

"How did he enter the cave heaven again? Even an existence like me hasn't entered once." Ouyang Hao muttered in his heart and ran to report to Xu Qingyao.

"What a troublemaker." Xu Qingyao's mouth also twitched. His true identity was wanted, and he was forced into exile after putting on a fake identity. Why was this Saint Son of the Beast-Taming Sect so miserable?

"What should we do." Ouyang Hao was also speechless.

Xu Qingyao said: "What else can we do? We don't know where he hid. Let's go. That so-called Venerable Bai should still be in this Tianqing City. I sense two Deity Transformation auras in the city. Let's go beat up this Tai Xuan Sect Deity Transformation expert, make him cancel the wanted order, and release the news. That way, the little brat should dare to come back, right?"

"The struggle for the cave heaven is not malicious harm. If you die because your skills are inferior, what is there to seek revenge for! It made me run for nothing and have to spend time waiting!"

After speaking, she rolled up her sleeves, ignoring Ouyang Hao's dazed look, and turned into a long rainbow flying toward the location of the Deity Transformation aura.

"Uh, Senior Sister, wait, wait a minute!!" Senior Brother Ouyang was confused, feeling that someone was going to suffer again. Since joining the Demon Court, Senior Sister's temper had become increasingly irritable, gradually becoming beast-like. ===== CHAPTER 229 =====

"Uh, Senior Sister, wait, wait a moment!!" Senior Brother Ouyang was bewildered, feeling that someone else was about to suffer. Ever since joining the Demon Court, Senior Sister's temper had become increasingly irritable, gradually becoming beast-like.
