Chapter 39: Indeed

The next morning, Lin Chao and Zhao Xiaoyi got up early.

The eight o'clock high-speed train would arrive in Feijiang City in about an hour or so.

At this moment, the three of them were already sitting in their seats on the high-speed train.

Xiaorou had a burly physique, which was particularly eye-catching.

At this time, the three were sitting in their seats on the high-speed train, with Lin Chao leaning against the window and Zhao Xiaoyi sitting in the middle.

Zhao Xiaoyi glanced at Lin Chao and spoke slowly: "Brother Lin Chao, I haven't asked yet, what are you going to Feijiang City for?"

Lin Chao smiled: "I'm going to Foguan Temple to buy something for a friend, and while I'm at it, I'll pray for a peace talisman for my parents."

These words were all nonsense.

The current Feijiang City was very different from Dajing a thousand years ago.

If one were to bury something casually, it would be very easy for accidents to happen over a thousand years, making it impossible to find the item.

In the end, after many comparisons, Lin Chao truly buried one item, burying it in a special place.

That was the present-day Foguan Temple.

Xiaorou showed a surprised expression: "You're going to Foguan Temple too?"

"Why, are you going too?" Lin Chao was slightly stunned.

"Yes, the martial arts exchange location for our several martial arts schools is at Foguan Temple.

My junior fellow apprentices have already gone, and now only I am left," Xiaorou said easily.

It sounded like a martial arts school sparring exchange, but in reality, it was not.

These martial arts schools of theirs were not Ordinary martial arts schools; they represented the true power of traditional martial arts.

Today, the martial arts sparring they were having this time was a competition of fist techniques, contending for the status of North Fist King.

Of course, she would not reveal these circle-related matters to Lin Chao.

It was enough to let Lin Chao treat them as an Ordinary martial arts school.

"So that's how it is." Lin Chao did not pay it any mind.

He could tell at a glance that Xiaorou's identity was not as simple as coming from an Ordinary martial arts school.

Of course, he did not point it out.

This had nothing to do with him.

"Brother Lin Chao, when we get to Foguan Temple later, be careful not to get into conflicts with people; it's full of martial arts practitioners from the schools there," Zhao Xiaoyi said from the side.

Lin Chao smiled: "You've watched too many TV dramas. I'm just traveling; what kind of conflict could arise?"

Zhao Xiaoyi thought about it, and it was indeed true.

In modern society, the cost of fighting had increased.

If you win, you go to the police station; if you lose, you go to the hospital.

Last time, Zhao Xiaoyi even saw an interesting piece of news.

Two car owners had a conflict on the road, cursed at each other, and finally got physical, engaging in a big fight.

As a result, before the Law Enforcement Guard arrived, the two shook hands and made peace.

When the Law Enforcement Guard officers came to question them, the two drivers said they were just out to stretch their muscles and had no conflict.

Feijiang City arrived very quickly. After exiting the station, Lin Chao did not choose to take a taxi.

There was a private car coming to pick up Xiaorou, so he hitched a ride.

Soon, the car drove into a suburb.

Foguan Temple was located on Lanshan; the area of the temple was very large, and it was a tourist attraction in Feijiang City.

Of course, this tourist attraction was very remote and had no fame.

It was not a holiday now, so there were not many people in the entire temple.

"Brother Lin Chao, I won't accompany you. I'm going to follow Sister Xiaorou to watch the martial arts duel," Zhao Xiaoyi said with an excited face.

Clearly, she was the type of person who loved to watch the excitement.

"Alright," Lin Chao said.

Lin Chao parted ways with Zhao Xiaoyi and Xiaorou, heading toward the Back Mountain of the temple.

However, upon arriving at the entrance to the Back Mountain, a Daoist priest playing with his phone raised his head and stopped Lin Chao.

"Little brother, the Back Mountain is a restricted area. There are wild beasts inside, and unauthorized personnel cannot enter."

"Can I enter if I pay money?" Lin Chao revealed a kind smile on his face.

"Little brother, it's not a question of money, but there really are... wild beasts inside. If something happens, I can't take the responsibility."

"1000 Great Xia Currency," Lin Chao said calmly.

The Daoist priest showed a troubled expression: "If something happens to you inside, the temple master will scold me."

"3000 Great Xia Currency," Lin Chao continued to increase the price.

"Little brother, I'll tell you the truth. There are no wild beasts inside, but there are several kinds of venomous snakes, it's really dangerous."

"5000 Great Xia Currency."

"Little brother, are you scanning me or am I scanning you?" The Daoist priest's expression changed again and again, and he said with a chuckle.

"I'll scan you," Lin Chao smiled and took out his phone.

He transferred 5000 yuan.

Upon receiving the transfer notification, the Daoist priest smiled.

"Little brother, if you encounter red snakes inside, you must be careful; they are poisonous."

"Alright, thank you."

Lin Chao entered the Back Mountain.

The Daoist revealed a smile: "Earned another 5,000 Great Xia Currency; these people's money is too easy to earn."

The Back Mountain of Foguan Temple is an ordinary mountain, covered everywhere in shrubbery.

The only thing of any value about this mountain is that there are many large rocks on it, which are said to have been formed by falling meteorites from the sky.

This has also attracted quite a few outdoor enthusiasts and astronomy enthusiasts to enter.

Lin Chao entered the Back Mountain.

The location where he buried the item was right on this mountain.

To prevent himself from not being able to find it later, he specifically buried it inside a rock.

He had once seen a post about a couple who came to the Back Mountain of Foguan Temple and carved their names on a heart-shaped boulder.

When he was in Dajing, he found this boulder and buried an item underneath it.

Ten minutes later, Lin Chao looked at the boulder in front of him, a trace of joy appearing on his face.

"It's still here, as expected."

On this boulder, the two names were still carved.

They were Zhang Jingqian and Liu Guangjun, respectively.

Lin Chao swept a glance over them, his face revealing an expectant expression: "I hope it is still there."

He placed his hand on the boulder, and a powerful force erupted.

This boulder underwent a violent change.

A small hole appeared before Lin Chao.

His hand shook, and suddenly an ancient-looking bead fell into his palm.

"Extreme Spirit Pearl!"

A look of joy appeared in Lin Chao's eyes.

The item he had buried here was the Extreme Spirit Pearl of the Sanji Sect.

"It is a pity that this Extreme Spirit Pearl has become extremely ordinary."

Lin Chao examined it closely.

This Extreme Spirit Pearl no longer possessed any Spirituality.

It looked just like an ordinary bead.

"It seems that the 'me' who reincarnated also truly existed in history.

It's a bit chaotic, and interesting."

Lin Chao thought for a moment, then stopped dwelling on it.

"Forget it, I'll head back first."

Since the Extreme Spirit Pearl was in hand, Lin Chao naturally chose to return.

He restored the place to its original state and chose to return to Foguan Temple.

On the way, he even saw a small red snake attack him, and Lin Chao stepped on it, killing it instantly.

Lin Chao arrived at Foguan Temple and saw many figures ahead.

It seemed that Xiaorou and the others were sparring with other martial arts schools.

His car back was in the afternoon, so with nothing to do, he prepared to go find Zhao Xiaoyi and watch the excitement.

At this moment, on the pavilion of Foguan Temple, Qi Xueyan's gaze suddenly fell upon a figure below.

She looked at the two people opposite her and said: "Qin Yi, Miss Jia, I saw an acquaintance—the person who saved me last time. I would like to go down and say hello."

"Are you talking about... Lin Chao?" Qin Yi revealed a gentle smile on her face. "Then go ahead."
