Chapter 581: Pressuring People with Power
And relying on the sect, he might be able to go further in the future.
Of course, if he could really join a sect, then he would have some foundation in this world.
But the disadvantages were also very obvious, which was that he would be restricted by the sect, not as free and unrestrained as before, and perhaps some things beyond his control would happen.
According to previous experience, joining a sect required completing at least one sect mission every year.
These sect missions were varied, such as alchemy, artifact refining, planting, picking, or going out to search for spirit objects, or missions to guard islands.
Now the cultivator guarding Golden Pearl Island, where Lin Zhangqing was, didn't have high cultivation, only the strength of the seventh layer of Qi Refining!
So for this period of time, Lin Zhangqing hadn't released Chu Yi and Chu Er.
By the way, Chu Er was injured in the secret realm, but the vitality of spirit beasts was very tenacious.
Chu Er had basically recovered; it only needed to wait for the missing small section of its wing to grow back to fully recover!
Now Lin Zhangqing didn't have any magical power on him, so he didn't want others to notice him, and even less did he want to cause trouble!
So until now, he hadn't contacted that guarding cultivator.
He prepared to wait until he had at least recovered his Foundation Establishment cultivation before meeting that person and understanding the situation of the cultivation world here.
Only then would he decide which path he should take based on what he learned!
And the Fang family, during this period of time, had become quite familiar with him; they were all very simple and honest fishing people.
Besides Fang Laotou and Fang Xiaoli, there were Fang Laotou's wife and his two sons, who were Fang Xiaoli's older brothers!
The room Lin Zhangqing lived in was the older brother's of Fang Xiaoli, and now he was thinking about how to repay their family! Lin Zhangqing had already checked, and none of them had spirit roots, so he had no way to guide them onto the path of cultivation.
But if he only gave them some wealth, it wouldn't show enough sincerity, and he would feel bad in his heart! And he had clearly felt that Fang Xiaoli had a little bit of feelings for him, but in this aspect, Lin Zhangqing couldn't respond to her feelings.
After all, immortals and mortals are different; if the two were really together, it would also be a tragedy for Lin Zhangqing.
If there were no accidents, he could live for at least another few hundred years.
And Fang Xiaoli couldn't cultivate, so at most she would live to be a hundred years old; Lin Zhangqing really didn't want to watch her die in front of him.
It was better to just let her live an ordinary life; this was the happiness that ordinary people should have! So when he was with her, he acted very plainly, just not wanting to give her too many fantasies! Just like that, another month and a half passed; he had been here for nearly three months, and by this time, his meridians had only recovered by thirty or forty percent! Only then did he dare to try cultivating slightly, and he didn't dare to cultivate for too long, just about an hour or so.
You
Because the spiritual energy around was too thin, thin to the point of not being suitable for cultivation, and he didn't have a single spirit stone or pill.
So he could only rely on spirit objects; fortunately, he still had Vermilion Fruit Wine, but even so, he only dared to refine it bit by bit, just for fear of damaging his fragile meridians.
Most of the refined magical power was used to nourish the ten-plus damaged meridians, and a small part was settled in the Dantian to be used just in case.
Just like that, another three months passed, and Lin Zhangqing finally truly recovered; on this day, he had already recovered his full strength! However, for Fang Xiaoli, this wasn't necessarily news. After these six months of getting along, the two could communicate completely without obstacles.
Every time they spent together was her happiest time.
But in these past few months, she had been able to feel Lin Zhangqing's extraordinariness more and more clearly.
Although he had never shown any means in front of them, she just felt it, and she also had a rough guess in her heart!
After all, although their place was remote, there were also guarding immortal masters, so of course, she knew of the existence of cultivators.
So during this period of time, she was instead not as happy, always having a feeling that Lin Zhangqing would leave her at any time.
This night, after everyone had fallen asleep peacefully, Lin Zhangqing quietly left the Fang family and flew toward the small mountain, several hundred meters high, in the very center of Golden Pearl Island.
The cave abode of this cultivator guarding Golden Pearl Island was on this small mountain, and there was a First-Tier defensive formation outside.
However, it didn't count for much to Lin Zhangqing, but he didn't come here to make enemies; instead, he still needed the other party's help.
So Lin Zhangqing just gently and rhythmically touched the formation, then waited outside the formation, showing enough patience and kindness.
Sure enough, after a while, there was movement inside the formation; the person coming should have noticed his Foundation Establishment strength and was hesitating.
Lin Zhangqing directly released his full momentum, and his spiritual pressure instantly enveloped the entire small mountain.
Then he said indifferently: "This First-Tier defensive formation of yours, in my opinion, really doesn't count for much.
If I wanted to kill you, I believe I could break the formation in one strike! But I didn't come here to cause trouble, but to ask you some questions and exchange some spirit objects with you.
I guarantee I won't let you suffer a loss! Open the formation with peace of mind and let me in, or you can come out and talk face-to-face."
The guarding cultivator inside, upon hearing this, weighed it and still directly closed the formation, appearing in front of Lin Zhangqing.
Then he said respectfully: "Junior, a disciple under the Myriad Islands Sect, Shui Changdong, greets Senior! Please come to the cave abode for tea."
Lin Zhangqing nodded; the surname Shui was the first time he had heard it, but for a cultivator, there was nothing strange about it.
The two went to the cave abode together, sat opposite each other in a relatively spacious hall, and then Shui Changdong began to take out tea sets to prepare tea.
However, he was stopped by Lin Zhangqing; after all, his visit this time was a bit presumptuous, and one could even say it had a taste of pressuring people with power.
And this was his first contact with Shui Changdong, so it was better not to drink his tea, lest he capsize in the gutter by accident! He said directly: "No need for spirit tea; tell me about the distribution of forces in the cultivation world in this area, and the information about the Myriad Islands Sect!"
Shui Changdong was very surprised upon hearing this, and then reacted; the Foundation Establishment cultivator in front of him shouldn't be from their area.
His body couldn't help but start trembling, not knowing whether he would be silenced in the end! (End of Chapter) ===== CHAPTER 582 =====
