Chapter 52: Leaving the Mountain

Chapter 52: Leaving the Mountain

Chen Lin directly mentioned the name "Red Marked Ginseng", causing Bai Lingshan's eyes to light up instantly.

"Master, you've seen it before!"

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, then took out a Red Marked Ginseng from his backpack. The ginseng was as thick as an infant's arm, with red patterns on its leaves and roots.

He had picked several of these on his way, and they weren't particularly valuable, worth around a few dozen spirit stones in Kaiyuan City.

"I not only saw it, but I also dug it up. What will you trade with me?"

If the other party's purpose for entering the mountain was just for this, Chen Lin decided to modify his plan.

He knew very little about the outside world and could gather more information about the cultivation world by leaving with these people.

Moreover, since the other party was only at the Qi Refining second stage, they wouldn't be able to venture out of the mountain without taking risks.Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

"Ah!"

Both Bai Lingshan and the others let out a shocked cry.

Bai Yunyue also excitedly walked forward, her eyes fixed on the Red Marked Ginseng in Chen Lin's hand, and said. "Fellow Daoist, are you really selling this Red Marked Ginseng?"

"Yes."

Chen Lin nodded.

Since he planned to leave with them, it was necessary to show some goodwill.

"Can we trade with spirit stones?"

Bai Yunyue hesitated for a moment and asked expectantly.

"Yes, fifty lower-grade spirit stones!"

Chen Lin quoted a moderate price.

Showing goodwill was necessary, but he couldn't sell too cheaply, considering the risks he had taken.

"Really!"

Bai Yunyue and Bai Lingshan simultaneously revealed an incredulous expression, which surprised Chen Lin.

"Then, thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin, for your help. If we need your assistance in the future, we won't hesitate!"

Bai Yunyue bowed deeply.

But then, he awkwardly said, "However, we left in a hurry and didn't bring spirit stones. Could you come with us to retrieve them?"

Chen Lin estimated that the Qingyun Sect's strength was equivalent to that of one of the five major families in Kaiyuan City.

A single Foundation Establishment stage cultivator could establish a sect, showing that the cultivation level in this area was not high.

Moreover, he had walked out of the Dreambreak Mountain Range for over 20 days and had only encountered a second-level demonic beast once, indicating that the demonic beasts' levels were not high.

The reason for this was likely due to the scarcity of spiritual veins and the low spiritual energy density in this region.

It was unknown whether this was the case throughout the entire cultivation world or just in this area.

Bai Yunyue's information was limited to the Yan Kingdom, and he had not been to other places, so Chen Lin couldn't ask further questions.

Huangtu Town.

As its name suggested, the soil was all yellow, and it was very dry, making it unsuitable for farming. Therefore, the locals made a living by hunting.

The saying "rely on the mountain to eat from the mountain" was true, as the Dreambreak Mountain Range had demonic beasts, but they only existed deep in the mountains, and the surrounding areas were mostly inhabited by ordinary wild beasts.

Even if demonic beasts came out, they were low-level, and Qi Refining stage cultivators could handle them.

In fact, whether it was demonic beasts or monsters, as long as they were high-level, they had no interest in ordinary people and wouldn't go to ordinary cities to hunt.

Ordinary people had no spiritual energy, and their bodies were filled with impurities, making them unpalatable and even harmful to eat.

This was like how people wouldn't eat rats or cockroaches, unless they were extremely hungry.

Demonic beasts and monsters mainly preyed on cultivators, as the meat of cultivators, nourished by spiritual energy, had a fatal attraction to them.

All this information was from the original owner's memories, which were recalled through conversations with Bai Yunyue.

"Hey, isn't that the second young master of the Bai family? How did you come out of the mountain so quickly? Were you scared out by wild boars and dogs?"

A loud, boisterous voice echoed, filled with teasing intent, snapping Chen Lin out of his thoughts.

Although he was deep in thought, he was always vigilant about his surroundings and had already noticed the speaker.

It was a young man wearing a red silk robe, around 20 years old, with a magnificent sword hanging at his waist, adorned with many yellow gemstones on the red scabbard.

He was extremely flashy.

This person was also a cultivator, with a higher cultivation level than Bai Yunyue, at the Qi Refining third stage.

His expression was extremely arrogant.

If he added a sly smile, he would be just like the cultivators in Kaiyuan City.
