Chapter 568: A Different Kind of Opportunity

At this moment, Chu Yi and Chu Er flanked Lin Zhangqing, protecting him on the left and right.

There were at least a dozen or twenty people on the deck watching him.

Lin Zhangqing found a cultivator who looked agreeable and sat down cross-legged beside her.

Then, he spoke in a low voice: "Greetings, fellow Daoist. I am Zhang Dejun! May I ask how to address you?

Also, do you know what is going on? Why did this senior capture us?"

This incredibly beautiful female cultivator only glanced at him indifferently, but she still replied: "I am Song Junxue!

I also do not know what is going on, but I was captured by that senior an hour ago! Besides, haven't you already guessed it?

This senior must have something he needs us to do; otherwise, you wouldn't have summoned those two spirit pets of yours.

Furthermore, he hasn't touched the items on our bodies, which further proves this speculation!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but nod; this Song Junxue was truly intelligent to the extreme.

Just from one of his actions, she had deduced his thoughts; she was truly sharp-witted!

In fact, when the old scoundrel brought him up earlier, he had already fully reacted!

Because his Innate Merit True Eye had not flickered, it proved that he was not in any great danger at that time.

Coupled with the old scoundrel's behavior and attitude, he already had a rough guess in his heart, which was why he hadn't acted rashly.

"Many thanks for the information, Fellow Daoist Song. No matter what task this senior wants us to perform, I estimate it won't be simple! So, fellow Daoist, you must be extra careful."

Song Junxue only gave a faint "Mm," and then said nothing more!

Seeing her cold reaction, Lin Zhangqing stopped speaking and simply reached out to stroke Chu Yi and Chu Er, offering them some comfort.

The treasure ship they were on had never stopped, and Lin Zhangqing could feel that it was flying at high speed.

Suddenly, the middle-aged cultivator disappeared.

After a short while, he returned with three Foundation Establishment cultivators, threw them onto the deck as well, and then ignored them completely!

They flew like this for a long time, and ten days later, there were no fewer than five hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators on the deck!

On this day, the treasure ship finally landed in a valley, and the middle-aged cultivator drove everyone off the ship.

After putting away the treasure ship, he spoke to everyone: "I am Ouyang Zhongjing, an Outer Sect Elder of the Medicine King Sect! Along the way, you all should have guessed by now; that's right, I have something I need you to do.

Actually, you people could be called unfortunate, or perhaps very lucky!

Because as long as you can help me enter the secret realm and bring out what I need, not only will I give you generous rewards, but I can even let you join the Medicine King Sect and become an Outer Sect Disciple! The Medicine King Sect is one of the few super sects on our continent, with a full four Deity Transformation True Lords in the sect!"

When Lin Zhangqing heard this, he knew that since this old scoundrel was painting such a big picture, the matter definitely wasn't simple! So, he chose to remain silent, letting others pave the way for him first. Sure enough, the vast majority of the cultivators became excited upon hearing they could join the Medicine King Sect, completely forgetting that they had been forcibly captured.

One cultivator couldn't help but ask: "Senior Ouyang, could you be more specific? Where are we going, and what do you want us to retrieve?"

Hearing someone ask this, Ouyang Zhongjing nodded, feeling very satisfied.

He then said: "You are going to a secret realm on the verge of collapse, and what I need is a Fourth-Tier spirit object: the Wood Tooth Crystal!"

Another cultivator asked: "Then, Senior Ouyang, with your high cultivation, why not go in and find it yourself? Wouldn't the chances of success be higher?"

Ouyang Zhongjing rolled his eyes at him before saying: "Did you not understand?

That secret realm is on the verge of collapse and cannot accommodate cultivators above the Third-Tier; otherwise, why would I specifically look for you?"

The cultivator dared not speak again after being scolded by Ouyang Zhongjing! But at this moment, Song Junxue suddenly spoke up: "Then, Senior Ouyang, if we successfully bring the item out, what reward will we receive? And how can you guarantee that after we risk our lives to bring out the Wood Tooth Crystal, we will truly receive the reward and be able to join the Medicine King Sect?"

Ouyang Zhongjing finally heard someone ask a question that hit the mark, and he couldn't help but nod at her with satisfaction.

He then said: "Finally, someone with a brain. You asked this question very well! I can swear on my own Dao path that as long as someone helps me bring out the Wood Tooth Crystal,

I will give them one Purple Mansion Tongxuan Pill, one hundred Upper-Grade Spirit Stones, and a spot as an Outer Sect Disciple of the Medicine King Sect.

This spot can be used by yourself or gifted to your friends and family, but do not expect me to give you special treatment.

You can treat this as a transaction; I am only responsible for getting you into the Outer Sect of the Medicine King Sect, and once that is done, the transaction is complete. We will owe each other nothing, and how you develop in the future will depend on your own efforts!"

After speaking, Ouyang Zhongjing actually took out a Medicine King Sect identity jade token.

Then, in front of everyone, he made a great oath, including all the content he had mentioned in the vow.

With this, the vast majority of the cultivators present believed his words, including Lin Zhangqing, who also believed he wouldn't go back on his word!

He even had some other thoughts. Honestly, the Lin Family and the Qingyun Sect were still too small for Lin Zhangqing! On the contrary, the Medicine King Sect was a large enough pond for him to stir up trouble. At the very least, if he wore the cloak of a Medicine King Sect disciple,

he would have fewer scruples when doing things outside, and it would definitely be much smoother! So, he was now seriously considering the question of whether or not to go in and take the risk!

However, while he was still carefully weighing it, the other cultivators were already boiling with excitement, wishing they could enter the secret realm immediately!

Fortunately, there were still some rational people, so one asked: "Then, Senior Ouyang, what does the Wood Tooth Crystal look like? At least let us recognize it!

And how is it calculated? Does every Wood Tooth Crystal count for one reward and one spot?"

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhongjing directly used his magical power to draw the pattern of a Wood Tooth Crystal in the void.

Everyone saw it, and they quickly committed it firmly to memory.
