Chapter 395: Meeting an Old Acquaintance in a Strange Land

After more than an hour, Chen Zi Ya opened her eyes and said: "Green Brother! The spiritual energy provided by this Vermilion Fruit is indeed several times more than that of a pill.

I have only refined a small part now. To refine it all completely, it will take at least seven or eight days."

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing felt a stir in his heart. The time Chen Zi Ya needed to refine it was a day or two more than his. He felt this should be due to the cultivation method.

However, it was all the same. Anyway, the cultivation speed was several times faster than pills, so Chen Zi Ya should continue to consume Vermilion Fruits in the future.

Then these twenty-four century-old Vermilion Fruits would be enough for Chen Zi Ya to cultivate for half a year.

If she still hadn't reached the second layer of Foundation Establishment by then, Lin Zhangqing would give her some more Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine, and then there would definitely be no problem.

After Chen Zi Ya rested for a while and prepared to continue refining, Lin Zhangqing returned to his own room.

He also consumed a Vermilion Fruit and began to cultivate. He would be busy on this journey through the Endless Sea.

He had to go out to hunt spirit beasts and also take care of cultivation. However, this was also good; it could be considered a kind of training for him.

Around noon the next day, Hu Yunna, Zhao Mingxia, and the others all came over.

The four of them gathered in Lin Zhangqing's room to drink tea because they would soon arrive at Chao Yin City.

They had already discussed that after arriving, they would go to the Chao Yin Market together to stroll around, and now they were waiting for the treasure ship to land! After a while, Great-Grandmother's voice suddenly spread throughout the ship.

"All disciples, listen up. We are about to land outside Chao Yin City. Everyone can move freely for these two days.

But this is the territory of the Xianyin Sect. All of you, behave yourselves and don't stir up trouble casually. The day after tomorrow, between the Chen hour and the Ji hour, everyone gather at the Chao Yin Pier.

No waiting after the time is up. If you can't go to the Xuan Yan Continent by then, find your own way back to the sect!"

The four looked at each other and smiled. They believed there shouldn't be such stupid people! Not even paying attention to such an important matter.

Sure enough, after a while, the treasure ship landed not far from a giant city, and then many Qingyun Sect disciples got off the ship and flew toward the giant city in twos and threes.

The four of them didn't scramble with others but waited until others had almost left before getting off the treasure ship.

Lin Zhangqing took out a spirit boat and took the three of them to fly toward Chao Yin City. The treasure ship didn't stop too far away, less than ten miles, and they arrived in an instant.

They happened to see Qingyun Sect disciples lined up, handling entry and exit tokens at the entrance of the Chao Yin Market.

The four of them also honestly lined up behind them. Fortunately, the processing speed was very fast, and it was their turn in a while.

Because they were all Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, they didn't collect their spirit stones, and Chao Yin City handled the entry and exit tokens for them for free.

After all, hundreds of Foundation Establishment cultivators coming all at once would certainly bring a lot of consumption to Chao Yin City.

So the Xianyin Sect waived a few spirit stones for them, which could be considered fulfilling the duties of a host. They would still be able to earn a lot of spirit stones from them anyway.

After the four entered the market, Lin Zhangqing suggested solving the accommodation problem first before everyone considered what to do next.

This suggestion was approved by everyone, so everyone followed the main road of the market and started looking for an inn.

And they also asked for directions from the clerks of the shops along the street, so they found an inn before long.

However, Lin Zhangqing went in to ask and found that it was already full. It seemed that the Qingyun Sect disciples who came before had already filled the rooms.

The four could only continue to look for the next one. After asking someone, they found another inn two streets away.

However, when a few of them just walked in, they heard bursts of giggling and laughter inside. And Lin Zhangqing saw Mu Jiuyin and Mu Xiaoxiao at a glance, as well as Lu Yuling further back, and two or three more familiar faces around, totaling eight or nine people.

He wasn't prepared at all and was stunned for a moment, but he reacted immediately.

Mu Jiuyin was also very surprised to see Chen Zi Ya, Hu Yunna, and the others, and then greeted them very enthusiastically.

"Junior Sister Chen!"

"Junior Sister Hu!"

"Junior Sister Zhao!"

"Senior Sister Mu!"

"Junior Sister Lu!"

All kinds of greetings rang out in the inn lobby, and everyone started greeting each other. The lobby became even more lively.

However, at this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't care about so much. She was staring fixedly at Lin Zhangqing now.

Her whole person was excited, her little face was flushed, and she looked incredulous and hesitant to speak.

Although Lin Zhangqing wore an invisibility mask last time, she still recognized Lin Zhangqing's identity immediately.

She came here this time also holding a "what if" thought, and she didn't expect that she really waited for him.

And most importantly, she didn't expect that her master was actually so good-looking, which made her extremely happy.

Unconsciously, she whispered: "Senior Brother Gao! You're here!"

And Lin Zhangqing, at this moment, knew that Mu Xiaoxiao's mood must be very excited without having to specifically feel the silver rune in his mind.

He also knew that others couldn't recognize him, but Mu Xiaoxiao must be able to, after all, there was a contract between them, and there must be a certain vague induction.

Fortunately, Mu Xiaoxiao wasn't stupid enough to call him "Master!" directly, otherwise, the consequences in the territory of the Xianyin Sect would really be hard to say!

"Hmm! Junior Sister Mu, long time no see.

It just so happens that I passed through the territory of your Xianyin Sect this time. I didn't expect to see Junior Sister Mu as soon as I arrived here. It's really quite a coincidence."

Hearing this answer and truly confirming her master's identity, Mu Xiaoxiao was really very happy, but she didn't have time to say anything!

Her sister and Lu Yuling came over to pay their respects to Lin Zhangqing.

Because for Mu Jiuyin and Lu Yuling, the three words "Senior Brother Gao!" were highly sensitive terms, especially seeing Mu Xiaoxiao like this, they immediately understood.

If they couldn't guess who the person in front of them was at this time, they would be truly stupid. So they immediately came over and paid their respects to Lin Zhangqing very respectfully: "Greetings, Senior Brother Gao! This should be Senior Brother's true face, right?"

"Greetings, Senior Brother Gao! Yuling welcomes Senior Brother to be a guest in Chao Yin City."

The first sentence was said by Mu Jiuyin, and the second was said by Lu Yuling. The first sentence was too direct, making him not know how to answer her.

And because they came to pay their respects to Lin Zhangqing, the dozen or so female cultivators present were all looking at him with great curiosity, which made him a bit embarrassed.
