Chapter 19

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Tian, who had never left Jade Lotus town, did not know any other places outside of it. Naturally, he did not know the way to the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Thus, on the way, Lin Tian asked Wang Shouyun for the location of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Regarding Lin Tian’s question, Wang Shouyun patiently explained it to Lin Tian.

However, when he answered Lin Tian’s question, Wang Shouyun was very curious. How did Lin Tian’s cultivation ability come about?

When Wang Shouyun looked at Lin Tian, he felt like an inexperienced kid who didn’t know anything.

Lin Tian didn’t know what Wang Shouyun thought of him, and he didn’t care what the other party thought of him.

However, after Wang Shouyun’s explanation, Lin Tian now understood more of the layout of the Qing Xuan Continent.

This nine regions continent was divided into nine continents, and the Qing Xuan continent was one of them.

The Qing Xuan continent was divided into four regions, north, south, east, west, and north. There were cities of all sizes under the four regions for the next hundred years.

The Lin family that Lin Tian was in was a small city at the border of the eastern region of the Qing Xuan Continent. It was very inconspicuous.

In his previous knowledge, Lin Tian knew that the Lin family was a small city at the border of the Qing Xuan Continent. That was all.

The Heavenly Sword sect was located in the southern region of the Qing Xuan Continent. It was more than 3,500 miles away from where they were now.

According to Wang Shouyun, it would take them about five days to return to the Heavenly Sword Sect. They could only rest for six hours a day on the road.

Moreover, they could only reach this speed with mounts.

Therefore, after leaving the mountain range of demonic beasts, Lin Tian and Wang Shouyun first visited nearby cities to look for mounts.

After two hours of traveling, Lin Tian soon saw human buildings.

It was a simple and crude city. Outside the city, there were some simple walls made of yellow earth. They were only two or three stories tall.

“‘Yellow Earth City. This name sounds similar to its appearance.”

Lin Tian looked at the signboard high above the city gate and said softly.

Calling it a signboard was an exaggeration. From the looks of it, it was just a tattered wooden board with the words “Yellow Earth City” engraved on it.

Hearing Lin Tian’s sarcastic words, Wang Shouyun explained to him,

“It is difficult to build a city outside the Demon Beast mountain range. Every once in a while, a large number of demon beasts will run out of the mountain range

“They would destroy everything in their way, including the city outside.

“And this city was just a short rest for the cultivators and a trading point for the merchants. Everyone didn’t have a sense of belonging to the city.

“Therefore, no one was willing to protect the city outside. In the end, the city outside the Demon Beast mountain range could come and go as they pleased. There was no consideration for safety at all.

“However, the main reason was that this place was remote in the past, and there were no valuable medicinal herbs or demon beasts. Therefore, no power was willing to build a strong city here to defend against the invasion of Demon Beasts.”

After listening to Wang Shouyun’s explanation, Lin Tian thought, “That’s true. Why would they spend so much effort to build something without benefits?”

The city gate of the Yellow Earth City was only six meters tall, which was even worse than the city gate of the Jade Lotus town.

Looking from the outside, it seemed very desolate and cold.

Two strong physique echelon cultivators stood next to them. Their clothes were all over the place, and they didn’t look like soldiers. At a glance, they could tell they were purely used to fill the numbers.

The scene inside became much more lively after passing through the city gate and entering the Yellow Earth City.

People came and went. Vendors were setting up stalls everywhere. On the top of the stalls, there were mostly medicinal herbs and short weapons.

There were only a few high-rise buildings, and the tallest restaurant only had three floors.

After entering the city, Lin Tian and Wang Shouyun separated. He let Wang Shouyun search for his mount alone.

Meanwhile, he planned to find a more secret place to check the black grade ten consecutive lottery ticket he had just obtained.

Previously, after completing the mission, Wang Shouyun had been by his side, so Lin Tian had no chance to open the system.

Then, Lin Tian came to the last restaurant in Huangtu City and asked for a separate room.

With the waiter leading the way, Lin Tian came to a room that was more than ten square meters.

“This is too small. A bed takes up more than half of the room’s space.”

Lin Tian looked at the narrow space in the room and complained.

“Look at what you said, sir. In this wilderness, it’s already good enough to have a bed to sleep on.”

The waiter smiled and said.

“But you guys are too much. With a room like this, you can only stay for a day with 50 taels of gold,” Lin Tian said.

“50 taels of gold can buy a large courtyard in Jade Lotus town.”

“Master, this is your first time in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Who knows how many times loess city has been destroyed by demon beasts.”

“Our restaurant was also destroyed. Our manager hasn’t even recovered the capital to build the restaurant.”

As the waiter said this, he started to worry.

Seeing this, Lin Tian didn’t say anything more, telling him not to come over and disturb his rest.

“It’s really a black market.”

Lin Tian was ridiculed again, and the system appeared in his heart, opening his storage space.

Seeing the shining silver lottery ticket, Lin Tian’s displeasure from being cheated by the black shop immediately disappeared, and his face was full of joy.

“Let me see what good things the lottery ticket will bring me this time?”

As he spoke, Lin Tian started to use the lottery ticket.

The Rainbow Python that he saw last time came out of the lottery ticket again and slowly circled nine times on the virtual screen of the system.

The seven-colored python’s body would become bigger every time it circled around. By the time it was injured nine times, its body had already occupied the entire virtual screen.

It opened its bloody mouth, and ten small light spots flew out of it. The system’s notification sound rang out as well.

[Congratulations, host, for obtaining an Earth-grade magic treasure: The Four Seas Heart Pendant]

[Congratulations, host, for obtaining 10 Spirit Stones.]

[Congratulations! You have acquired 100 years of cultivation.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained 30 Spirit Stones.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained an earth-rank magic treasure-the heaven-shaking finger tiger.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained 100 years of cultivation.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained 100 years of cultivation.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained 100 years of cultivation.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained 40 Spirit Stones.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained 20 Spirit Stones.]

[The lucky draw item has been distributed to the storage space. Please check carefully!]

After the system notification ended, the system swiftly transferred the virtual screen to the storage space interface.

“Looks like the system isn’t so rigid after all. It even knows how to jump to the screen I want in advance.”

Lin Tian smiled faintly.

Then, Lin Tian clicked on the protective artifact he had just drawn. The four seas return heart pendant. He looked at its introduction.

[Four Seas Returning Heart Pendant: Forged from a thousand-year-old cold jade under the deep sea, it contains powerful water elemental energy and can withstand a full-strength attack from a late-stage spiritual soul realm expert.]

[Note: If the wearer’s surroundings contain water elemental energy, or if they block fire elemental moves, the protective power will be doubled.]

Seeing the introduction of the system, Lin Tian could not help but suck in a breath of cold air in shock and exclaimed,

“D*mn! This protective magical treasure is too strong!”
