Chapter 459: Strange caravan

The next day.

Three flying boats slowly took off from Jushi City and headed east.

On the third flying boat.

"I didn't expect Brother Gu to come from the Canglan Sect. Recently, your sect has been stirring up the entire Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao, especially yesterday's battle between your sect's disciple Lin Chen and the Bahuang Sect's Sima Kong, which shocked the entire Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao."

On the front deck of the flying boat, Lin Chen stood on one side, listening to the words of the middle-aged man beside him, and a smile appeared on his face. The next moment, he gave a light snort: "That Sima Kong overestimates his own strength. He was already a defeated opponent of Lin Lin Shidi, yet he still wouldn't give up and wanted to continue challenging. This time, not only did he lose face, but he also made the Bahuang Sect lose face."

"Brother Gu is absolutely right. I think Brother Gu and that Lin Chen have a deep relationship."

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Lin Chen smiled slightly: "Brother Sun is joking. When Lin Lin Shidi entered the sect, I was still traveling outside, and I haven't gone back yet, so we haven't had any interaction. And even if I returned to the sect, I wouldn't have much interaction with Lin Lin Shidi. Lin Lin Shidi is a genius disciple of the sect, and I am just an ordinary inner sect disciple."

Sun Kang sighed in his heart listening to Lin Chen's words. What Brother Gu said was the truth.

He and Gu Fei were both disciples of super sects, and from the outside, they were infinitely glorious, but only disciples of the same super sect knew how fierce the competition between sect disciples was and how strict the hierarchy was.

Outer sect, inner sect, leaders of the inner sect, personal disciples, genius disciples.

If one level is different, the resources and treatment given by the sect are vastly different.

Like him and Gu Fei, who only broke through to the Second Stage of the Xiantian realm in their thirties, they can only be considered decent among the inner sect disciples of the sect. They rarely have the chance to meet personal disciples, let alone genius disciples.

At most, they just have a nodding acquaintance when they meet in the sect.

"Brother Gu doesn't need to belittle himself. We are not as good as those above, but better than those below. I don't know how many practitioners in the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao envy the two of us."

Sun Kang comforted Lin Chen, and he was also comforting himself.

If compared with those genius disciples, they are indeed nothing, but if compared with the outside world, they are the objects of envy and jealousy for many practitioners.

"Brother Sun is still the one who sees things clearly."

"Haha, it's not that I see things clearly, it's just that what if I don't? I have several good friends who couldn't think clearly, and unfortunately, they have all fallen."

Sun Kang's expression was a bit desolate. On the path of Martial Way cultivation, except for those genius-level disciples, because the gap with others is too large, they are lonely on the cultivation path. Like them, these practitioners still have three or five good friends.

Everyone encourages each other, and sometimes they exchange the Martial Way resources they need. This is the norm between practitioners in the Martial Way world of the Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao.

After cultivating for nearly forty years, of the several good friends who were with him at the beginning, very few are still alive.

"If the talent is poor, it's better to just give up and lie flat. It is precisely because the talent is not bad and there is a chance to impact a higher threshold that one has to take various risks to obtain resources, and finally lose their lives in various secret realms or at the hands of other practitioners."

Lin Chen could understand Sun Kang's sigh. Martial Way talent that is neither high nor low is the most uncomfortable.

If it's poor, just give up and lie flat.

It is precisely because there is hope of impacting a higher realm, and one can see hope, but needs many Martial Way resources, that one has to take risks and compete with other practitioners for resources. If you are lucky, you get enough resources to break through; if you are unlucky, you lose your life.

Seeing Lin Chen silent, Sun Kang also knew that he had spoken too deeply.

"Brother Gu, don't misunderstand. I'm not pouring cold water on Brother Gu. With the foundation of the Canglan Sect and Brother Gu's talent, breaking through to the Third Stage of the Xiantian realm is no problem."

"Brother Sun, I am not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for him, so how could I misunderstand Brother Sun?"

Lin Chen smiled. Sun Kang's words were indeed presumptuous. After all, he and Sun Kang had only known each other for a day, and they didn't have a deep friendship, but Sun Kang was well-intentioned, so he could accept it.

"Brother Gu, excuse me. The reason I, your brother, told Brother Gu these things is because Brother Gu looks a bit like an old friend of mine. Let's not talk about this."

Sun Kang explained and changed the subject: "Does Brother Gu know what this caravan is transporting?"

"I don't know."

Lin Chen shook his head: "Brother Sun knows?"

"I don't know either, just like Brother Gu. This caravan is clearly different. It actually sent out three flying boats, and the one on the first flying boat is also a guard."

Sun Kang had a strange luster in his eyes: "Brother Gu, I'll tell you the truth. This caravan is too mysterious. You know, flying boats are not cheap. The materials transported by ordinary caravans are just to earn a regional price difference, but the cost of the flying boat is completely comparable to this price difference. And we, as Xiantian powerful people, actually cannot enter the second flying boat?"

"Brother Sun, since that's the case, why are you still willing to take this mission?"

"No way, the reward is too attractive. How much attraction does 100 Xiantian stones have for practitioners in the Second Stage of the Xiantian realm? Brother Gu should be clear. Isn't Brother Gu here for these 100 Xiantian stones?"

"That is indeed the case."

Lin Chen nodded. He took this mission, although it was on the way, but 100 Xiantian stones were the main reason.

"Regardless of what secrets this caravan has, we are only responsible for escorting it, as long as there is nothing wrong along the way."

Lin Chen had no curiosity about the secrets of the caravan. Sometimes, if curiosity is too heavy, it will bring many unnecessary troubles to oneself.

"That's right, but I'm afraid this journey won't be stable. In short, Brother Gu, you and I should be careful and cautious. If we encounter a critical situation, you and I can cooperate."

Hearing Sun Kang's words, Lin Chen finally understood why Sun Kang took the initiative to tell him so much. Perhaps besides the fact that he and an old friend of his really looked a bit alike, more importantly, he and Sun Kang were both temporary additions to the caravan.

If this caravan has something strange, he and Sun Kang are outsiders and can cooperate.

"Okay."

Lin Chen agreed, and the two reached an alliance tacitly.

The first flying boat of the caravan.

"What is the background of the two Xiantian practitioners who joined later?"

"One is from the Taizong Sect, and one is from the Canglan Sect."

"Canglan Sect? Recently, your sect has been in the limelight. Lin Chen defeated Sima Kong twice, which has spread throughout the entire Yan Yan Yan Huang Chao."

"Lin Chen is Lin Chen, and Gu Fei is Gu Fei. There are many disciples in the Canglan Sect, and they cannot be mentioned in the same breath at all."

After the young man on the flying boat said this, the middle-aged man who spoke earlier also laughed. It is indeed this truth. There are so many disciples in the Canglan Sect, it is not certain whether this Gu Fei has even seen Lin Chen.

"Since they come from a super sect, their identity should be beyond doubt, so there is no need to worry too much that these two are insiders."

"Big brother, what exactly are we transporting this time? It's not enough for our three brothers, and we still need to hire other guards?"

The young man was full of curiosity. This escort mission was taken by his big brother, but until now, his big brother hadn't said what the caravan was transporting, and their three brothers weren't enough, so they had to find two more practitioners in the Second Stage of the Xiantian realm.

Under normal circumstances, the materials transported by the caravan are at most some resources that practitioners in the Second Stage of the Xiantian realm might be interested in, and the quantity is extremely rare. There is no need to transport them by caravan, they can be carried by powerful people.

Unless it is the kind of consumable resources needed by everyone, such as Yan coins, Xiantian stones, and other materials, and the quantity is huge...

But if it is really huge enough to make powerful people in the Third Stage of the Xiantian realm feel tempted, it is generally transported by a large force, and it is arranged by the family sect to send their own disciples to escort it. There is no need to hire guards from the outside.

The transportation of this caravan is clearly unreasonable.

"Take people's money, eliminate disasters for people, don't worry about so much, our mission is to deliver the caravan to the East Sea Domain."

Yu Xingyao's expression was serious: "This escort mission can bring us 1,000 Xiantian stones. It is very difficult for me and the second brother to break through to the Third Stage of the Xiantian realm, but third brother, you still have a chance. With these 1,000 Xiantian stones, you have a chance to impact the Third Stage of the Xiantian realm."

"Third brother, would big brother harm us?" Second brother Yu Xingshun opened his mouth: "Just do as big brother says, and our family's hope now lies on you."

The three Yu brothers are all in the Second Stage of the Xiantian realm, but Yu Xingyao and Yu Xingshun are over forty, while the third brother Yu Xing'an is only in his early thirties and has a chance to impact the Third Stage of the Xiantian realm.

After so many years in the Martial Way world, the Xiantian realm has long had a standard.

Only those who can break through to the Second Stage of the Xiantian realm under thirty have a chance to impact the Third Stage of the Xiantian realm. If they break through after thirty-five, it is extremely difficult for them to break through to the Third Stage of the Xiantian realm in this life.

This age division is calculated based on the talent and background of the practitioners.

Of course, there are exceptions, but there is only one exception out of nearly a hundred, and the opportunity is too slim. ===== CHAPTER 460 =====
