Chapter 413: Great Divine Ability
He didn't want to compete for first or second place; as long as he could obtain a spot to participate in the Jiazi Trial, that was enough!
Of course, this ranking was not public; he went to Great-Grandmother to ask about it every month or so. This could be considered him taking a small back door!
During these few months, almost every one of the hundreds of cultivators from the two sects had been injured, and even over a dozen had died or fallen, totaling seven or eight for each sect.
Those cultivators who unfortunately died or fell were all in situations where they encountered super-large-scale demon beast groups. That kind of time was the most chaotic and the easiest for problems to occur.
Providing shelter for these people were several Purple Mansion cultivators from the two sects. Although the demon beast groups encountered were certainly pre-selected by the sect,
as long as the demon beasts increased, several Purple Mansion cultivators couldn't guarantee everyone's safety, which was why over a dozen cultivators unfortunately died or fell.
And the two or three injuries Lin Zhangqing suffered were all caused under such circumstances. Fortunately, he was very clever and slippery, so the injuries he suffered were all relatively minor skin wounds.
Basically, resting for a day or two was enough, not delaying his continued hunting of demon beasts at all.
Of course, it was mainly because on this treasure ship, he had many means that were inconvenient to use; otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.
But this journey and the hunting experience of these few months were truly his very precious experiences.
At the very least, his ability to deal with demon beasts now was far stronger than it had been a few months ago! However, fortunately, the journey was basically coming to an end, and the ranking shouldn't have any major changes. When he went to see Great-Grandmother last time, he had already received her pointers.
As for Chen Shan Zhenren, whom he had been worried about all along, he hadn't had much interaction with him again.
Except for occasionally hearing his sound transmission to everyone on the deck, he had never seen him in person again, and he didn't know what the situation was.
Having just experienced a battle that wasn't too intense, Lin Zhangqing was now organizing his spoils of war on the deck.
He collected all the useful materials. Of course, he didn't let the remaining flesh and blood go either; these could all be kept to feed his spirit pets.
However, at this moment, all the cultivators on the deck heard Chen Shan Zhenren's voice in their ears: "All disciples, pay attention. This qualification trial ends here!"
"Everyone, hand over the demon cores in your hands and register them well. When we dock and log in tomorrow, the top one hundred disciples will be announced."
"At that time, they will naturally obtain the qualification to participate in the Jiazi Trial! Now, everyone stop hunting, go back to rest and reorganize. Tomorrow, we will officially arrive at the Xuan Yan Continent!"
Hearing Chen Shan Zhenren announce the end of the trial, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After all, not everyone could handle over five months of continuous killing.
Lin Zhangqing went up to hand over the demon cores he had harvested today and then returned to Chen Ziya's room on the third floor.
It just so happened that the three of them were gathered together. When Lin Zhangqing arrived, they were drinking tea and chatting.
After he sat down and drank two cups of spirit tea, Hu Yunna asked: "Senior Brother Gao! The trial is over. Obtaining a spot shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"
Lin Zhangqing breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I estimate it shouldn't be a problem! In fact, towards the later stages, quite a few cultivators automatically withdrew from the trial."
"Plus, I feel my own results should be quite good, so I should have an eight or nine-tenths chance of obtaining a spot!"
Hearing him say this, the three people present all nodded and felt happy for him, and words of congratulation emerged one after another. After a while, Hu Yunna spoke again: "Tomorrow, we should arrive at a place called Linyuan City."
"There is a Linyuan Port there, and we will dock and log in there. According to my Grandmaster, that Linyuan City is extremely magnificent and huge."
"And, I estimate we should be resting there for two or three days."
"At that time, the four of us will go together to stroll through Linyuan City! Let's see what exactly is different from our side?"
Zhao Mingxia also spoke: "Ever since we started encountering various other treasure ships of different sizes two or three days ago, I knew we would certainly arrive soon!"
"I am truly looking forward to it. I wonder what exactly the Xuan Yan Continent is like! And it is still very far from the sect residence here."
"I heard that even if we take Yunxia Zhenren's treasure ship, it will take at least one or two months to reach the sect residence on this side."
"This continent is truly too vast. I wonder if there are any human footprints that can cover the entire continent!"
Lin Zhangqing laughed and said: "With our cultivation, we are still a bit lacking to travel the entire continent, so in the future, just stay at the sect residence and cultivate with peace of mind!"
"Once you have the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage, I estimate you will be able to go to the vast majority of places! And you will also have plenty of time to travel around."
Zhao Mingxia said with a bit of defiance: "Then according to Senior Brother Lin, doesn't that mean we can't go anywhere with this cultivation?"
"That's not what I meant. At the very least, places closer by should be no problem, just like the Linyuan City we are arriving at tomorrow!"
Hearing him quibble like this, everyone laughed. The few of them also understood his meaning: he just hoped that since their cultivation was still low, they would cultivate with peace of mind and not run around everywhere.
Lin Zhangqing gave the artifact refining materials he had accumulated during this period to Hu Yunna.
Hu Yunna had already experienced this kind of thing several times, so she didn't stand on ceremony with him anymore!
Anyway, the dharma artifacts and spiritual artifacts she refined, regardless of whether they were good or bad, were all returned to Lin Zhangqing, and she even had to add a portion of auxiliary materials herself.
Subsequently, Lin Zhangqing drank a few more cups of spirit tea, then took his leave and returned to his own room first.
Although they would arrive at the Xuan Yan Continent tomorrow, without any special matters, his cultivation would not stop casually.
In fact, he especially wanted to enter the inner space to take a look. After all, he hadn't been in for over five months, and he didn't know what it had become inside now!
However, they were still on the Wanbao Pavilion's treasure ship, and he truly didn't dare to act rashly. One had to know that there were two Nascent Soul Old Ancestors guarding the ship.
He had seen the two Old Ancestors take action many times along the way, and the power was simply earth-shattering.
The aftermath of their exchanges was comparable to a natural disaster level. If it weren't for the Town-Sea Giant Ship protecting them, they would have long since become food for the demon beasts in the Endless Sea! With two Nascent Soul Old Ancestors with great divine abilities by his side, he truly didn't dare to take risks. It was better to endure it a bit longer!
Once they arrived at Linyuan City, he would find an opportunity to enter the inner space to take a look!
