Chapter 521: An Unprovoked Disaster

As for the Flame Wutong, it cannot be planted together with ordinary spirit medicines and spirit plants, otherwise it will drain them all dry!

Therefore, he decided to plant it in the inner space, at the edge on the other side. For things that are temporarily not dangerous, there is no need to set up an array for now!

After finishing both sides, Lin Zhangqing took out the ordinary spirit medicines and spirit seeds he had just harvested and let Zhao Liyu continue to process them.

He, on the other hand, played with the deer for a while before exiting the inner space! Lin Zhangqing planned to finish his cultivation tasks early today and then get a good night's rest! Because early tomorrow morning, he planned to set off for his next destination! A night passed in the blink of an eye. The next day, after finishing his cultivation, Lin Zhangqing checked out of the inn, retrieved his deposit, and left the market directly! The next destination he had planned for himself was a spirit stone mine ruin. One must know that all spirit stone mines on the continent are jointly controlled by major sects.

Of course, there are cultivators who have discovered them and mined them privately, but you must ensure that not a single piece of news leaks out, otherwise the outcome would be that not even a chicken or dog is left behind! However, although spirit stone mines are jointly controlled by major sects, they do not mine them themselves, but instead recruit many loose cultivators to go down and dig for ore! They also adopt a method of "more work, more pay" to encourage those loose cultivators to strive to collect more raw spirit stone ore, which can also be considered as allowing them to earn cultivation resources.

But the spirit stone mine ruin that Lin Zhangqing was going to had already been mined out, and those major sects had also abandoned control over that place.

Now, the mine ruin has become a no-man's-land, and loose cultivators often go down into the mines to try their luck.

Of course, no-man's-land represents chaos, so killing and being killed here are very common occurrences.

But Lin Zhangqing was confident in his own strength, and this was the thing he feared the least! When he saw this spirit stone mine ruin on the map provided by Chen Ziya, he had already made up his mind; for the sake of Lin Zhangliu, he must go and take a look! The ruin is in the Dongling Mountain Range, between the outer and inner perimeters. Looking at the map, the scale of the mine is grand, and there was even a very large market next to it in the past.

But ever since the mine was fully excavated, the number of cultivators gradually decreased, and many merchants also withdrew one after another!

Now, the scale of the market might only be one-tenth of what it used to be, if that!

Lin Zhangqing calculated the distance according to the map and knew that it would take about half a month to get there.

And because he had to enter the mountains, the time required might be even longer, but this could not stump Lin Zhangqing.

After confirming the direction, he first steered his flying sword to fly about twenty miles outward, then released Chuyi and Chu'er, switched to the Ink Cloud Battle Mount, and began his leisurely journey!

However, lying on the auspicious clouds all the time was boring, so he brewed a pot of Green Jade Spirit Tea for himself and then began to practice his spells and divine abilities!

Two or three hours passed in the blink of an eye when Chuyi sent a warning from the sky that someone was fighting about ten miles ahead.

Lin Zhangqing considered it and decided not to participate!

So, with a thought, he slightly adjusted his direction to avoid the range of the fighting and killing ahead! The distance of ten miles was covered in an instant, but just because Lin Zhangqing didn't want to intervene didn't mean others didn't want to drag him into the water!

Just after receiving Chuyi's warning that someone was approaching rapidly, a male cultivator's voice immediately came from behind.

"Fellow Daoist in front, help! There are three robber cultivators chasing and killing us behind. Please join forces with us to resist the enemy; there will be a heavy reward afterwards!"

Another female cultivator also shouted: "Please, Fellow Daoist in front, please take action to save us. Afterwards, we will give you 100,000 low-grade spirit stones as a reward!"

Lin Zhangqing stood up and looked at the two groups of people behind. The ones closest to him were a man and a woman, who were now approaching within about 300 zhang behind the Ink Cloud Battle Mount.

Further away were the three robber cultivators, still 600 or 700 zhang away from him, but at this moment, the flying swords of both sides behind were clashing back and forth, fighting non-stop. However, the man and woman were clearly at a disadvantage, so they were desperately approaching Lin Zhangqing, wanting to drag him into the water to fight the robber cultivators behind together.

Lin Zhangqing hated this the most; he clearly didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble still came knocking on his door! But he still didn't want to intervene casually, so he raised his hand, and two large fireballs flew towards the man and woman.

They exploded ten zhang in front of the two, and then he shouted: "Get lost! I don't want to intervene in your affairs! This is a warning; if you approach again, I won't be polite!"

After speaking, he adjusted back to his original direction.

The two behind were very anxious, and the female cultivator hurriedly shouted again: "Please, Fellow Daoist, no matter what, please come to our aid.

We are both clansmen of the nearby Zhao family. Afterwards, we will give you a reward of 200,000 spirit stones, and you will also gain the favor of the Zhao family!"

Lin Zhangqing rolled his eyes and said unpleasantly: "What favor? I'm not interested. Get lost quickly! If you follow again, I will really take action!"

After speaking, they continued to follow, so Lin Zhangqing raised his hand, and ten large fireballs flew out in a straight line! This time, they were not detonated in advance but flew directly towards them.

However, the distance of 200 or 300 zhang, combined with the fact that the Fireball Technique's speed was not fast, still gave them time to dodge! But the two of them finally understood Lin Zhangqing's determination and dared not continue following him, instead slightly adjusting their direction.

Seeing them so sensible, Lin Zhangqing stopped attacking and adjusted his own direction to increase the distance between them! Afterwards, he ignored the two groups of people and accelerated away, thinking that the matter had passed, but he didn't expect that two hours later...

Chuyi suddenly issued a very urgent warning, meaning that a high-stage cultivator was approaching rapidly. Lin Zhangqing didn't know if it was aimed at him.

So he immediately ordered Chuyi and Chu'er to rise rapidly, while he himself lowered his altitude and fell into the forest on the ground! If necessary, he could use the Earth Escape Technique to leave. Of course, landing also meant avoiding the high-stage cultivator.

It was just that as soon as he landed and stood firm, a powerful pressure immediately enveloped Lin Zhangqing.

Soon, two figures appeared not far in front of him!

Lin Zhangqing scanned them quickly; one of them was exactly the female cultivator who had just begged Lin Zhangqing for help.

The other was a middle-aged male cultivator, but his cultivation was very high, likely at the Purple Mansion Stage.

Because Lin Zhangqing had experienced the pressure of a Golden Core True Person, this middle-aged male cultivator did not give him that feeling.

And since his cultivation was much higher than Lin Zhangqing's, it was clearly a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator!
