Start a mysterious island

Spiritual world, Dongwu City.

A touch of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, and the golden sunshine splashed on the earth, dispersing all the darkness that shrouded the whole night.

"twitter……"

A crisp and melodious chirping of birds sounded outside the window and entered the room through the glass.

The slim figure lying on the bed slowly opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling sleepily, then raised her white right hand and rubbed her eyes.

Qin Muqing opened the quilt and sat up. A red bellyband embroidered with peony flowers could be seen through the slightly open collar.

He looked out the window at the clear sky, which was cloudless. Occasionally, one or two birds would fly by the window.

Qin Muqing got dressed and came to the dressing table to comb her hair.

"Eh?!!!"

Looking at the beautiful face that appeared in the mirror, an exclamation came from the red lips.

"Why did my appearance change back? Counting the time, it shouldn't be time to change back!"

Lin Li is still at home now! If he saw this, there would be no way to explain it. "

Qin Muqing, who had returned to her original appearance, quickly stood up and went to the closet to open it.

She reached into a package in the cabinet, touched it, and took out a round jade bead the size of a pigeon egg.

"Buzz."

The disguise orb exuded a pale golden light, and Qin Muqing's face suddenly changed, turning into an ordinary look in an instant.

"call……"

"Fortunately I looked in the mirror."

After Qin Muqing changed her appearance, she came to the dressing table, looked at her ordinary self in the mirror, breathed lightly, and murmured to herself.

"It changed back to its original appearance several times before the time was up. There must be something wrong with this disguise orb."

"What if the problem with the Disguise Orb becomes more serious and my appearance can no longer be changed?"

Qin Muqing's thoughts were swirling in her heart, and she couldn't help but have a sad look on her face.

After thinking for a while, she came up with a solution.

"When Lin Li goes out, I will find a shop that sells spiritual weapons and ask if the disguise orb can be repaired..."

After Qin Muqing made the decision, she put the faulty disguise orb back into the cabinet, left the bedroom to wash up, and then went to prepare breakfast for Lin Li.

…………

"Ha~"

In the bedroom on the third floor of the villa, Lin Li had just woken up after a dreamless night and yawned.

Lifting off the quilt, his body flew into the air, sitting cross-legged, floating in mid-air, looking at the blue sky outside the window.

"The weather is very good today. After breakfast later, I will go meet those three people..." Lin Li thought in his heart, and then there was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Dong dong dong..."

Lin Li, who was floating in mid-air, landed. After getting dressed, he opened the bedroom door.

A faint fragrance came to my face, and I saw Qin Muqing, who had an ordinary appearance but an extremely graceful figure, standing at the door and said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, breakfast is ready."

Lin Li nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go down after I wash up."

Qin Muqing turned around and left, and her graceful figure disappeared at the top of the stairs.

Although the people have left, there is still a very pleasant fragrance in the air.

Lin Li raised his hand and rubbed his nose. As he walked to the washing area, he whispered in his mouth, "Did you use some perfume? It smells so good..."

…………

In the restaurant on the first floor of the villa, Lin Li, who had had breakfast, said to Qin Muqing, who was clearing away the dishes.

"I'm going to be away for a while, so you can keep the money."

Lin Li had a thought in his mind, and a wad of banknotes appeared in his hand and was placed on the table.

Hearing this, Qin Muqing stopped collecting the dishes and said in surprise, "Mr. Lin, are you going away again so soon?"

Lin Li didn't want to explain much, he just smiled and nodded, "Well, I made an appointment with others to take a long trip. I'll set off after meeting them later."

Qin Muqing had just experienced a gangster breaking into his home not long ago. The worries in his heart had not completely disappeared, and his mood was somewhat low.

However, Lin Li had already decided to go on a long trip, and with her status, there was no way she could persuade him to stay.

"You have to be careful on the road!"

"Yes, you don't have to worry."

"You have already given me money before, which is enough for a while. You can take the money back!"

"Keep it! Just in case you need it."

Lin Li did not take back the money placed on the table, but after chatting for a few more words, he left the villa.

Qin Muqing saw each other off all the way. She stood at the gate of the villa and looked at Lin Li who was walking away. She didn't look back until the other party's figure disappeared.

"Hey...then I'm the only one left at home again..."

"Now that he has left, after lunch, I will go out and find a shop that sells spiritual weapons and ask about the restoration of the disguise orb."

Qin Muqing closed the door, turned and walked towards the villa.

After returning home, she picked up the wad of banknotes that Lin Li had placed on the table and counted them.

"That's a lot of money. With what I gave you before, I won't have to worry about food and drink for a long time."

With a happy smile on her face, Qin Muqing put away the counted banknotes and walked into the kitchen to wash the dishes.

…………

Outside the south gate of Dongwu City, two men and one woman stood under a leafy tree next to the moat. There was a carriage parked not far from them, and the driver was yawning out of boredom.

"Why hasn't he arrived yet? Did he change his mind and not go?" said Ji Haoyang, who was wearing green clothes.

"The agreed meeting time has not come yet, let's wait patiently." Wang Dazhuang, a tall man, said calmly.

"Why are you in a hurry? There is still half an hour before the agreed meeting time!" Wu Xiaohe, wearing dark green clothes and exquisite earrings, said.

When Ji Haoyang saw the two people saying this, he stopped talking and silently looked at the sky in the distance.

Time passed, and more than ten minutes later, a figure wearing black training clothes walked out of the city gate.

"He's here." Wu Xiaohe saw Lin Li coming from a distance and immediately said to his companions.

"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long." Lin Li came to the three people and said with a smile.

"The agreed time to meet has not come yet! It's because we came early." Wang Dazhuang said with a smile.

"Lin Li, why didn't you bring anything with you?" Wu Xiaohe asked in surprise.

This time, we went to the abandoned spirit stone mine to find the spirit plants that everyone had heard were rumored to be able to bear spirit fruits. It was not something that could be done in one day.

Therefore, any team that goes to the abandoned spirit stone mine to hunt for treasure will not go empty-handed, but will more or less bring some dry food.

"We all carry dry food separately. If there is no food when the time comes, you have to find a way to solve it yourself. And why don't you even bring weapons?" Ji Haoyang frowned and choked.

"I have no enmity with this guy, why is he hostile to me? Is it because..." Lin Li noticed that when Ji Haoyang was speaking, he glanced at Wu Xiaohe, and he immediately understood the reason.

Seeing that Ji Haoyang was unfriendly again, Wu Xiaohe said to Lin Li, "Lin Li, I brought more dry food. I will share some with you when the time comes."

"Bring your own dry food. This was agreed before departure..." Ji Haoyang was unhappy when he heard that Wu Xiaohe was going to give the dry food to Lin Li.

This guy is so jealous, he can smell the sour smell from far away... Lin Li complained in his heart, and then smiled and thanked Wu Xiaohe for his kindness.

"Thank you, I brought dry food myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Li had a thought in his mind, and a paper bag containing pastries suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Eh?!!!"

When Wang Dazhuang and the other three saw something appear out of thin air in Lin Li's hand, their eyes widened in shock and they let out a exclamation.

"Is it a magic storage weapon?" Wu Xiaohe guessed in surprise.

"It's not a storage weapon, it should be a storage space power." Wang Dazhuang said when he saw that Lin Li was not wearing any jewelry.

"As for weapons!" Lin Li looked at Ji Haoyang who looked surprised, and then took out a spiritual sword from the mysterious island.

After showing the dry food and weapons, he immediately put the two items away.

"Lin Li, not only have you reached the middle stage of the second level of cultivation at such a young age, but you have also awakened a very rare storage space ability. It's amazing." Wu Xiaohe praised in surprise.

"It's okay, it's just good luck." Lin Li said modestly.

"Luck is also a part of strength. Most people don't have such good luck as you." Wang Dazhuang said with a smile.

Ji Haoyang on the side couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he saw his two companions full of admiration for Lin Li.

Lin Li noticed that the jealous Ji Haoyang was in a low mood, so he changed the subject and said, "It's almost time, let's go!"

"Okay, let's set off." Wang Dazhuang, the leader, said, and then a group of four people walked towards the carriage not far away.

"Everyone, sit still." The coachman waited for the four people to sit firmly, then shook the reins in his hands, and then drove the horse forward.

The abandoned spirit stone mine is located quite far away, and walking there will take a lot of time on the road, so you have to take a carriage for a while.

"Lin Li, have you been to that abandoned mining area before?" Wu Xiaohe asked Lin Li who was sitting next to him.

"I haven't been there. This is my first time going to that place." Lin Li replied with a smile, and then he humbly asked about the abandoned mining area.

Wu Xiaohe told the story very enthusiastically, which made Ji Haoyang, who was sitting across from him, frown.

If Lin Li hadn't shown his hand just now, Ji Haoyang would definitely have said some unfriendly and offensive words at this time.

Lin Li learned a lot about the abandoned mining area through Wu Xiaohe's explanation.

The abandoned mining area is located more than a hundred kilometers south of Dongwucheng. It was mined for at least hundreds of years and was abandoned decades ago.

Although the remaining ore could continue to be mined for a few more years, a major earthquake occurred there decades ago, causing the mines to collapse.

If you want to mine it later, the investment and harvest will be disproportionate, so it was abandoned.

Since then, alien beasts have gradually taken over the abandoned mining area, making it very dangerous and ordinary people dare not approach that place.

After listening to Wu Xiaohe's story, Lin Li asked, "What is the strongest cultivation level of the alien beasts wandering in that abandoned mining area now?"

Wu Xiaohe replied, "It is known that the strongest alien beast found in the abandoned mining area has a second-level high-level cultivation level, but the range of activities of that alien beast is deep in the abandoned mining area. As long as we do not enter the depths, there will be no dangerous."

The strongest alien beast only has the second-level high-level cultivation, which is too weak... Lin Li thought in his heart, and then asked some other questions.

Unknowingly, the sun in the sky came above the head.

At this time, the driver driving the carriage pulled the reins in his hand.

"Xu..."

The horse stopped immediately, and the coachman turned back to the four people sitting in the car and said, "Everyone, we are here."

The four people in the car heard this and immediately got out of the car.

"This shouldn't be where we are yet, right?" Lin Li looked at the empty wilderness in front of him and muttered to himself.

Wu Xiaohe, who was standing aside, explained, "If we continue going forward, the coachman will not be able to go back safely, so we have to walk the next section of the road by ourselves."

"That's it." Lin Li suddenly realized.

After all, there are strange beasts wandering outside the city. The further away from Dongwu City, the greater the chance of encountering strange beasts.

The driver is just an ordinary person. If he throws life and death aside for money and sends people to an abandoned mining area where alien beasts are frequent, I am afraid that he will only make money but not spend his life.

Wang Dazhuang paid the fare, and the driver immediately turned around and left after receiving the money.

The speed of going back was much faster than the speed of coming. Not long after, the carriage could only be seen vaguely.

"Let's continue on our way! Arrive at the abandoned mining area before lunch." Wang Dazhuang said.

Then, a group of four people quickly ran towards the location of the abandoned mining area.

Wang Dazhuang has the cultivation level of the middle stage of the second stage, Ji Haoyang has the cultivation level of the early stage of the second stage, and Wu Xiaohe is the weakest, with only the peak level of the first stage.

In order to take care of the weakest Wu Xiaohe, everyone kept their speed at a speed that Wu Xiaohe could keep up with.

More than an hour later, a group of four people arrived at their destination.

In front of them are endless barren mountains, covered with tall trees and low bushes.

Lin Li looked to the left and saw that half of a barren mountain in front of him had collapsed. It seemed that an earthquake that occurred decades ago had collapsed the mountain.

"There seems to be a strange beast there." Wu Xiaohe raised his finger and pointed to a tall tree one kilometer away and said to everyone.

Lin Li looked in the direction pointed by Wu Xiaohe's finger and found a red ape sitting on a tall tree in the distance.

At this moment, a pale golden light appeared on the red ape, as if it was practicing.

When everyone's eyes turned to this strange beast that was practicing, the red ape also noticed the gaze and immediately became alert.

Then, the pale golden light emerging from its body disappeared, and then it roared a few times towards where Lin Li and the four of them were, then turned around and disappeared after a few jumps.

"This is a strange beast. We looked at it for a few times and then left immediately. We are very vigilant!" Lin Li said with a smile when he saw the red ape leaving.

"Let's find a place to have lunch and take a rest before entering the abandoned mining area." Wang Dazhuang said, and then looked around, looking for a place to rest.
