I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 411: The Crowd at the Pavilion

In the past few days, he happened to participate in an auction in Duobao City. There were indeed many treasures at the auction, truly worthy of being in Zhongzhou.

However, the competition was fierce. Anything that could help break through bottlenecks was sold at sky-high prices. Not to mention breaking through Nascent Soul, even a pill that could break through the mid-stage bottleneck of Gold Core attracted the attention of seven or eight Gold Core cultivators. Lin Qing brought many treasures with him on this trip, hoping to exchange them for other things in Zhongzhou. But after participating in this auction, Lin Qing felt a chill in his heart. He had many treasures, but it seemed that they were far from enough.

This was also the reason why he participated in this operation. Moreover, he was confident in himself. Even if he couldn't defeat his opponents, escaping wouldn't be a problem.

A hundred miles was just a momentary distance for Lin Qing. In order to avoid exposing himself, he flew through the air without using any treasures such as the Yuqian Shield.

From afar, Lin Qing saw a small pavilion and landed there.

The pavilion was covered by a pale white light barrier. But after activating the Duobao Token in his hand, the barrier automatically opened up a large hole big enough for a person to enter.

"Another Fellow Daoist? It seems that this mission will be even more dangerous," said one of the three cultivators inside the pavilion. He was also a Gold Core cultivator at the peak stage, and his eyebrows furrowed when he saw Lin Qing enter.

Lin Qing was also somewhat surprised. The other three cultivators in the pavilion were all at the peak stage of Gold Core, just like him.

"What is the Duobao Trading Company planning to do? If they need cultivators at the peak stage of Gold Core, why not send Nascent Soul cultivators? Wouldn't that be simpler?" Lin Qing felt that something was not right, but since he was already here, he didn't say much.

Afterwards, as fellow cultivators participating in the mission, Lin Qing and the others got to know each other a bit.

Lin Qing still used his Tian Sa pseudonym, while the other three cultivators were a bald man with a round head and tattered robes, giving off a cold and ruthless aura. He was called Cangshan Shangren. The other two cultivators that surprised Lin Qing were actually a couple. The male cultivator, with a kind and gentle face, was called Xiaoyaozi, and the female cultivator was Xiaoyao Furen. According to their own words, they were both wandering cultivators from Yuyang County and were invited here by the Duobao Trading Company with the Three Yang Water.

Just as they had finished getting acquainted, another cultivator flew over from the horizon. He had an ordinary appearance and was also at the peak stage of Gold Core. However, his whole body was tightly wrapped, making it impossible to see his appearance. He introduced himself as Xueyou Shangren.

"Xueyou Shangren?" After this person introduced himself, Lin Qing pondered over his title and felt that he was probably a formidable individual.

After Lin Qing and the other five had gathered, they waited for a long time but no one else arrived. Just as Cangshan Shangren was becoming impatient, a small bird suddenly flew over from the sky.

With their cultivation levels, even though they were inside the pavilion, Lin Qing and the others immediately sensed that something was off about the bird.

Xueyou Shangren, who had arrived last, reached out his hand and suddenly a blood-colored hand appeared through the light barrier, hovering above the bird's head dozens of zhang away. Then, he grabbed the bird and brought it back.

Afterwards, he took a sound transmission talisman from the bird. Lin Qing was surprised to see that Xueyou Shangren unexpectedly let the bird go.

Sending out a wave of spiritual energy, the sound transmission talisman immediately floated in front of Lin Qing and the others, and a hoarse voice came through:

"Fellow Daoists who are willing to participate in this operation, on behalf of the Duobao Trading Company, I thank you all. However, this matter requires secrecy, and the Duobao Trading Company can only inform you in this way. Please go to the Tongling City in Zishan County first, where you will receive the next message. The Three Yang Water will also be waiting for you there. The sooner, the better."

"Hmph, what the hell is going on?" The Blood Friend was displeased upon hearing this, and Lin Qing and the others frowned as well.

Unexpectedly, not only were the people from Duobao Trading unable to be found, they were also asked to go to Zishan County. Zishan County was separated from Yuyang County by two counties, and it was not easy to get there. Moreover, when they arrived, Duobao Trading had very little influence and the surroundings were unfamiliar.

However, Lin Qing had some other thoughts. According to the rough map of the thirty-six counties of Zhongzhou that he obtained from Wanwen Tower, Zishan County was adjacent to Guchuan County. Even if their plan failed, it would save him some time for the next leg of the journey.

"Fellow Daoists, it seems that no one will come. Should we go?" The Blood Friend said again.

"My husband and I have been stuck at the Gold Core stage for a long time. Even though there may be great danger, if Duobao Trading is willing to provide the Three Yang Water, we must give it a try," Xiaoyaozi spoke up. Xiaoyaozi's wife just smiled, looking like a devoted wife.

"I feel the same way. Although I don't know what Duobao Trading is planning, I am in great need of the Three Yang Water," Cangshan Friend also expressed his willingness to go.

Everyone looked at Lin Qing, and he smiled and said, "Since all of you Fellow Daoists are saying so, I am also very curious. Of course, I will go."

"Alright, let's go."

Seeing that Lin Qing and the others were all going, the Blood Friend no longer hesitated. A burst of blood mist suddenly appeared around him, and then the mist floated towards the distance.

Seeing the Blood Friend take the lead, Xiaoyaozi and his wife took out a flying car-like magic treasure, which seemed to be a means of transportation.

"Fellow Daoists Cangshan and Tian, our cloud shuttle is not slow. Would you like to ride with us?" Xiaoyaozi's wife unexpectedly invited Lin Qing and the others to ride.

"There's no need for that, I have my own means," Cangshan Friend declined the offer, then wrapped himself in his robe and flew away at a speed similar to that of the Blood Friend.

As for Lin Qing, he was unfamiliar with the place and didn't dare to ride in the flying car. He politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kind offer, but I don't want to trouble you, Fellow Daoists."

Seeing that Lin Qing and the others didn't want to ride, Xiaoyaozi's wife didn't show any disappointment. Instead, she smiled and entered the flying car with Xiaoyaozi.

Immediately after, the flying car, called the Cloud Shuttle, sped away at an extremely fast speed, even faster than the Blood Friend and Cangshan Friend.

Lin Qing smiled when he saw this, and he calmly took out the Thousand Shield and slowly flew away.

Zishan County was far away, there was no need to rush at this moment.

However, at this moment, Lin Qing noticed something strange. His spiritual sense was stronger than that of ordinary cultivators. Just now, he faintly sensed a different aura in the pavilion, but it quickly disappeared. This aura was not particularly strong, only at the level of the Gold Core stage, but its sudden appearance and disappearance were extremely strange. The last time it appeared was on Xiaoyaozi.

"Forget it, don't think about these things. This journey is not simple to begin with, so I can only be more careful." Lin Qing thought this way and didn't pay it any more attention, continuing on his way.

Along the way, Lin Qing saw many unique sights of Zhongzhou. As a state larger than the other eight states combined, Zhongzhou had various landscapes that Lin Qing couldn't take in all at once. What surprised him even more was that not only were there human cultivators in Zhongzhou, but even some Gold Core demonic beasts openly moved about in the human cultivators' markets.
