“Phew, today's the day to seize Xu Long's Opportunity. Golden City, I need to be careful this time.”
Ye Lin weighed the hidden god pearl in his hand, murmuring to himself. As long as he had the hidden god pearl, he could go, provided the evil demon wasn't a Golden Core Stage Cultivator.
With that, Ye Lin got up and walked out of the Sect. Along the way, there were various Mortals fleeing with their luggage, all of whom had been rendered homeless by the evil demon incident.
Even the major Sects were extremely troubled by the evil demons, and for these Mortals, it was devastating.
After an hour of traveling, Ye Lin arrived at Golden City. Golden City was a famous large city, and also one of the ten major cities occupied by the Zhao family.
What met his eyes was a giant city gate, ten meters high. Mysterious patterns flowed on the city gate, making it impossible for even a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator to open it by brute force.
Around them were armored soldiers, holding long spears, looking straight ahead, exuding immense majesty.
The last time he came to Golden City, his eyes were blinded by Opportunity. This time, looking at it again, a large city truly lived up to its name; just its superficial appearance was incomparable to those small cities.
Stepping into the city, all he saw were hurried pedestrians.
“Yo, brother, you’re back again? What are you planning to look at this time? Still going to Yuanbao Shop? Oh, right, you were terribly scammed at Yuanbao Shop last time, weren’t you?”
At this moment, a scrawny, extremely wretched-looking old man came up to Ye Lin, winking and nudging him.
Ye Lin turned his head upon hearing this, and when he saw the person, his face was filled with speechlessness.
This fellow was Wang Lao Liu, who had guided him the last time he entered Golden City.
“Do you know where in Golden City there is a parasol tree?”
Upon hearing this, Wang Lao Liu was startled, his two eyeballs rolling around, seemingly deep in thought.
“There is indeed one parasol tree, but I don’t know if it’s the one you’re talking about.”
At this moment, Wang Lao Liu stroked his characteristic walrus mustache and slowly said.
“Tell me the location, and you won’t be short of benefits.”
At this, Ye Lin took out a Low-Grade Spirit Stone and threw it to Wang Lao Liu.
The moment he saw the Low-Grade Spirit Stone, Wang Lao Liu’s eyes turned red. He immediately grabbed the Spirit Stone and kept looking at it in his palm.
“Speak.”
“You go straight for a thousand meters from here, then turn left and go straight for three thousand meters, and you will naturally see a parasol tree. There is only one parasol tree in Golden City, so it must be the one you are looking for.”
Wang Lao Liu said casually, looking at the Spirit Stone in his hand.
“Good. If I don’t find it, I won’t let you off.”
Ye Lin scared him, then walked according to the location Wang Lao Liu had given him.
Upon arriving, sure enough, an incredibly tall parasol tree was conspicuously planted in the distance.
Coming before the parasol tree, Ye Lin squatted slightly, and indeed, at the base of the tree, he found a tree hollow. Inside the tree hollow were three Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
“Now I have five Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. If I absorb them all, there’s a high chance I can step into the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.”
“Oh, right, there’s also Senior Sister Li’s Opportunity half a month later, the Foundation Establishment demonic core from the evil Cultivator. However, if there’s an evil Cultivator base in Golden City, their power must be immense.”
“Such rampant evil Cultivators.”
Ye Lin held the three Spirit Stones, pondering. To establish a base in a city governed by the Zhao family, one could imagine how vast the power of these evil Cultivators must be.
“Forget it, I’ll return to the Sect first. I’ll refine these Spirit Stones first and strive to reach Foundation Establishment Middle Stage a day earlier.”
After speaking, Ye Lin walked out of Golden City and headed towards Qingyun Sect.
Upon arriving at Qingyun Sect, Ye Lin found Lin Zisheng standing outside the Mission Pavilion of the Sect's inner Sect, deep in thought.
At this moment, a panel appeared before Ye Lin’s eyes. He wanted to see how Lin Zisheng was doing now.
Name: Lin Zisheng
Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Middle Stage
Fate: Purple (Incomplete)
Destiny: 【Good Luck】 【Sword Dao Leader】 【Divine Comprehension】 【Son of Heaven's Favor】 【Powerful Being Reincarnation】
Fate: Stopped at the Peak of Dao Integration. When attempting to Breakthrough to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage, he was struck dead by heavenly lightning, and his Divine Soul dissipated.
Recent Opportunity 1: Tomorrow, he and Huang Ruyan will go to Lanyun Cave in the Hundred Thousand Mile Mountain to kill a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage demonic spider. In Lanyun Cave, they will discover a Profound Rank Middle Grade Medicinal Pill, the Mirror Breaking Pill. After consumption, he will forcefully enter the Foundation Establishment Stage Late Phase.
Recent Opportunity 2: Ten days later, on the way to Killing Sect, he will pick up three Mid-Grade Spirit Stones at the entrance of the Killing Sect.
Recent Opportunity 3: One month later, he will obtain a Profound Rank Middle Grade longsword in Dragon Abyss Cave, greatly increasing his combat power from then on.
【Good Luck】: Your Luck is good. You always pick up Opportunities while walking, and even if you encounter a life-or-death crisis, you can turn danger into safety.
【Sword Dao Leader】: A natural sword practitioner. Regarding the Dao of the Sword, you have an understanding beyond Mortals, and your progress in the Dao of the Sword is incredibly fast.
【Divine Comprehension】: Your Comprehension Ability is extraordinary. You learn various Cultivation Techniques extremely quickly. For the same Cultivation Technique, others need three months, while you only need a few days.
【Son of Heaven's Favor】: You are favored by the Heavenly Dao's Luck. On the path of Cultivation, there is no Bottleneck to speak of, and Breakthrough is as simple as eating and drinking.
【Powerful Being Reincarnation】: You are a powerful being from the Immortal Realm Reincarnated. However, your Divine Soul was damaged during the process, and your memories are sealed. After reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, your memories will be unsealed, and from then on, you will be like a carp leaping over the dragon gate, smooth sailing all the way.
Looking at Lin Zisheng’s panel, Ye Lin stroked his chin. Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, huh? That’s right, if it were according to normal development, Lin Zisheng would have already broken through to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage two months ago.
It was because he had been constantly plundering Opportunities that Lin Zisheng’s cultivation had remained at the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage.
“Dragon Abyss Cave?”
Seeing the third Opportunity panel, Ye Lin frowned. What was Dragon Abyss Cave? Why did he have no impression of it?
At this moment, Lin Zisheng seemed to notice Ye Lin. He merely gave Ye Lin a cold glance before hurriedly departing.
After Lin Zisheng left, Ye Lin then walked into the Mission Pavilion.
“Senior Brother Ye?”
At this moment, Sun Xiao looked at Ye Lin, his face full of pleasant surprise.
“Junior Brother, why did Senior Brother Lin just come here?”
At this moment, Ye Lin asked Sun Xiao before him.
“Senior Brother Lin? Senior Brother Lin has been frequently taking on missions recently, as if he’s very short on Spirit Stones. And, he also brought a lot of evil Cultivator marks yesterday to exchange for rewards.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin sneered inwardly. What use did Lin Zisheng have for resources? This was obvious with a little thought. This guy had been hoarding a large amount of resources recently, all for the purpose of going to Killing Sect to hire assassins to kill him.
Killing Sect was an assassin Sect, where every assassin was clearly priced, absurdly expensive.
“Oh, right, Junior Brother, do you know about Dragon Abyss Cave?”
“Dragon Abyss Cave?”
Upon hearing this, Sun Xiao was startled, then immediately reacted.
“Of course, I know. A hundred years ago, within a radius of ten thousand miles, there was a huge Sect, with a legendary Nascent Soul Stage powerful being guarding it, suppressing all four directions, with no one daring to disobey.”
“At that time, that huge Sect was incredibly powerful for a while, but in the end, that force suddenly perished, and all its Disciples died. And at their Sect’s location, a huge cave appeared. That cave opens once every five years.”
“It is rumored that there are treasures left by that huge Sect in the cave, but Dragon Abyss Cave has a barrier enchantment, and Golden Core Stage Cultivators cannot enter.”
“At that time, in order to contend for the ownership of Dragon Abyss Cave, the major Sects fought bloody battles. Finally, a powerful being discovered that continuing to fight like this was not good for anyone.”
“Afterwards, the major forces successively set down treaties, stating that when Dragon Abyss Cave opened, all major forces could send their Disciples into it to scour for treasures.”
“However, the day of Dragon Abyss Cave’s opening seems to be approaching now.”
