151 Lin Menghan in Danger!

The Shichiyou Herb was still present. When Lingyun arrived at Xuefu Road, the faint sense of danger had disappeared.

It's gone? Ling Yun thought, reaching the deserted Xuefu Road. He walked up and down, but the sense of danger had vanished.

Fine. This is a blessing anyway. At least it saves me the trouble of getting my hands dirty today…

Finishing that thought, he hurried off to the old antique trading market at maximum speed. Although the spiritual energy from the Shichiyou herb could not be used today, Ling Yun would not stop his training.Utilising the vast energy emitted from the rare and strange stone in the market was his only choice. Anything could be put aside, except for his training!

Seven minutes later, Ling Yun arrived at the old antique trading market, stopping at the place where he last stood.

Such a strong aura of spiritual energy…

Ling Yun knew that the torrential rain was one of the main factors that caused the increase in spiritual energy in the market. Although the rain caused great damage, it had a purifying effect on the air. As such, the spiritual energy present would become more intense. However, Ling Yun's main destination was at the center of the market and not his current location.

Since he was already here, Ling Yun acted like a tourist, wandering the streets before heading straight to the center of the market. What he really wanted to do, was to find the Tianxi Pavilion that the nomadic people talked about.

"Stop there! What are you doing?" Ling Yun was confronted by two patrolling guards. In an antique market, security patrol was common. Since Ling Yun was loitering around suspiciously in the middle of the night, it made sense for the guards to stop him. At this moment, Ling Yun decided to feign ignorance and act innocent.

Smiling to himself, he said, "Nothing much. Just walking around after a breakup…"

There was not a tinge of sadness to be seen on Ling Yun's wide and harmless smile. Of course, the guards did not believe him.

"Kid, this is the antique market. Don't wander out here and create unnecessary misunderstandings." A roughly forty-year-old security guard said, patiently ushering Ling Yun to leave.

For a moment, Ling Yun couldn't think of an excuse.

He thought to himself, They are just doing their jobs and being polite, no point using violence to solve the problem right? This would only attract Tang Meng's father!

Ling Yun replied, "May I ask, are there rules that disallow people from hanging around?"

Placing his index finger on his nose, he added, "Do I look like a thief?"

Both of the guards shook their heads. If he did, Ling Yun would've tried to flee long ago, instead of standing there and talking to them calmly.

"So why can't I hang around here? Just because it's the middle of the night?"

Seizing this chance, he added, "If you're worried, you can accompany me. Since I'm heartbroken, some company might be beneficial…"

Ling Yun wasn't planning to train until the fourth level anyway. He only wanted to take in some spiritual energy and use the energy from the stars to train using the Dayan Great Stars Technique only.

Since the energy from the stars was at its strongest tonight, it was the perfect opportunity to train using the technique. By doing so, he was preparing his body to cultivate a fine balance between the Yin and Yang upon reaching stage four of his physique tempering. Balancing Yin and Yang was the best technique for self-cultivation in Cultivation World since it would create a strong base for Ling Yun to build on.

The two security guards stood there stunned. Who in the right mind would wander around this deserted market alone, much less invite the patrolling guards to follow him! All the stores were closed and there was no one around.

"No need. Hurry up take a walk and leave this place then!" They agreed to Ling Yun's request since Ling Yun didn't look like a thief.

"Thanks a lot!" Ling Yun replied. "Also, how do I get to Tianxi Pavilion?"

The two guards were alerted now. The pavilion was one of the biggest stores in the market, why was he asking about it?

"Please don't be mistaken. I made a transaction with them today, meeting them two days later. Since I'm already here, why not check it out…" Ling Yun explained sheepishly.

The two guards heaved in relief. One of the guards replied hesitantly, "Walk 200m and it's at the Northeastern corner of the crossroad."

Ling Yun thanked them before taking his time and strolling towards the pavilion. The closer he was to the pavilion, the stronger the spiritual energy coming from the different stones. Although messy, it was roughly two-thirds of what the Shichiyou Herb could produce.

Ling Yun understood why. Since the stones were so precious, the store owners must have kept them in a secure and safe place. As such, the emitting spiritual energy would be less strong when it left the store and entered into the air.

There were four crossroads in the antique market, and the Tianxi Pavilion was at a crossroad in the Southwestern region. Looking at the majestic plaque at the door, Ling Yun heaved a sigh of regret. He was at the losing end since he realized that the price offered to him was too low.

Ling Yun continued walking, arriving at the entrance of Yu Dingxuan.

Yu Dingxuan was located opposite of Tianxu Pavilion, occupying the Northwestern corner of the crossroad. It was double the size of Tianxu Pavilion, with decorations creating an elegant and unique effect. The last time he was here, Tang Meng said this was where people gambled with the stones and would like Ling Yun to take a look.

Sure enough, Ling Yun arrived at the door of Yu Dingxuan. The spiritual energy here was the strongest, as he affirmed that precious things would be found here.

Ling Yun didn't care, sitting straight down on the marble steps in front of Yu Dingxuan and started absorbing the spiritual energy. He could easily absorb the spiritual energy now. While absorbing, he activated the Dayan Great Stars Technique, using the energy the same time.

Ling Yun felt that there were signs of breakthrough to reach stage four, but he remained patient. To reach the fourth stage was a milestone and marked the halfway point of this training. As such, he wanted to time it to perfection and achieve the best possible effect.

Just as he was in the middle of his intense practice, his cell phone rang, coming up with a text message. Ling Yun frowned, thinking that it was Tang Meng.

He took out his phone realized that the message was sent by Lin Menghan instead!

Ling Yun quickly opened the text message to see: "Come to North Xuefu Road, Li Tian Hotel. Save me, Room 1688!"

Ling Yun's face immediately changed as he stood up without a shred of hesitance.

Did something happen to Lin Menghan? Wasn't she a policewoman? Looking at her appearance, she could easily handle five or six guys by herself!

With his fastest speed, he rushed towards North Xuefu Road. Ling Yun only took five minutes to arrive. This road was actually very close to Xuefu Road, just parallel to it. Since this was Ling Yun's first time here, he didn't know where Li Tian Hotel was!

Ling Yun swept the surrounding buildings, not wanting to waste any time by taking a break. Finally, he found the magnificent Li Tian Hotel beside a large crossroad. Li Tian Hotel was a five-star hotel integrating meals, entertainment and accommodation. It was also a famous place for people to spend money at Qingshui City.

The doorman saw Ling Yun appearing in an instant, unsure of what to do as he stood there, stunned. Ling Yun didn't have time to deal with him, as he took the stairs instead of the elevator. Within less than a minute, Ling Yun arrived at the sixteenth floor. He was immediately confused by the design of the floor.

"Hey, how to get to room 1688?" Ling Yun questioned the nearby staff.

Suddenly the staff became vigilant. He glanced up and down at Lingyun, carefully asking, "Sir, why do you need to be in 1688?"

Lingyun glanced at the staff member's face and decided that he was too lazy. Grabbing his neck, Ling Yun said coldly, "Show me the direction to room 1688!"

"Ah..." The staff choked as Ling Yun casually lifted him off the ground as he struggled for air. Grimacing in pain, he pointed in the direction hurriedly.

"Go!" Ling Yun didn't put him down as he sped in that direction, with the staff leading the way. After turning a corner, Ling Yun was surprised to see seven or eight well-built guys standing in the corridor. Without hesitation, he threw the staff towards the group of people.

In an instant, he knocked down all seven of the guys with a sudden burst of speed, smashing them into the ground.

*Bam!* Ling Yun immediately kicked open the locked door of room 1688!
