Hearing Lin Cheng's resounding reply, which was surprisingly so sure, Zhu Ziquan couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
"Little thief, what did you say?"
"I say, as long as Wen Zhongming hasn't reached the Danhai Realm, we won't be completely helpless against him!" "Even if he has one foot in Dan Hai, we still have a chance to catch up with him."
Lin Cheng looked at Zhu Ziyang's eyes and said seriously.
Zhu Zi's pretty face revealed a surprised look. She thought for a moment and then shook her head. "Little thief, if you want to enter some immortal sects to surpass Wen Zhongming, then the chances are too slim."
The two of them were only in the Arterial Circulation Realm. Although they could be considered experts among the cultivators, they were just two ants to the cultivators.
Not to mention entering sects with great influence in the cultivation world like the Myriad Sword Sect and Gui Sect, even smaller sects wouldn't accept them.
Unless they were willing to become servants of cultivators in the sect, then they would have a chance to enter the Immortal Dao Sect. If that was not the case, then even two mere Pulse Wheel Realm martial artists wouldn't be able to take half a step into the sect!
However, if he went to the sect to be a servant, who could guarantee that he would be able to learn profound techniques?
Seeing Zhu Ziyang's vexed expression, Lin Cheng smiled slightly, "Girl, I never said I wanted to be a servant in the sect. Even if I were to join a certain sect one day, I definitely wouldn't enter it as a servant! As for you, I will absolutely not let you become someone else's servant! "
"Then …"
Zhu Ziyang said in confusion, "Then why are you still so sure? Aside from the cultivation world's sects, I can't think of any other way to rapidly increase our strength."
"Of course there's a way!"
Lin Cheng suppressed his voice to an extremely low pitch, "Girl, if I were to say that I have enough spirit stones for you, would you be able to raise your strength quickly?"
"How can a spirit stone be so easily obtained? "I heard that even ordinary cultivators don't have many spirit stones, so where can the two of us find them …"
Before she could finish, her eyes suddenly opened wide, and she almost cried out in alarm, "Little thief, are you saying … The Chu Family? "
Lin Cheng nodded his head, "That's right! "Little girl, I remember you saying that you've heard rumors saying that the Chu Clan has a Spirit Stone mine, right?"
Bamboo Shoot couldn't help but say, "But …" "That's just a rumor. No one has ever seen the Chu Family's spirit stone vein!"
"Then where did the spirit stones we used before come from?"
Lin Cheng smiled, "Although the Chu Clan is powerful, they are just a small clan in the mortal world. They can't even compare to the royal family of a kingdom, but the Chu Clan actually has spirit stones with them, is that not enough to explain the problem?"
The reason he was able to get to know Zhu Ziyang was because on his way to the Boundless Forbidden Land, he encountered the Chu and Wen Families chasing after Lu Yuanshan. Zhu Zifu was the eldest daughter of the Wen Family.
That day, the members of the Chu Clan acted arrogantly. If it wasn't for the fact that Zhu Ziya and his men had appeared in time, Lin City would have started to fight with the members of the Chu Clan.
It was also because of the appearance of Bamboo Shoot that the Chu Clan saw the symbol for "Return to the Sect" on the horse he was riding and mistakenly thought that he was a person who would return to the Sect.
As a result, the Chu Clan had no choice but to take out a storage bag and give it to Lin Cheng as an apology. The storage bag was still on Lin Cheng.
After Lin Cheng caught the bamboo, he opened his storage bag and discovered that there were spirit stones inside. Lin City was pleasantly surprised.
The unintentional disclosure of the news by Zhu Ziguang also moved Lin Cheng's heart.
According to Zhu Ziguo, there had been rumors that the Chu Clan had a spirit stone vein, but it had not been verified. The outside world thought that it was just a false rumor, that the Chu Clan's enemy was deliberately framing them.
However, Lin Cheng knew that this rumor was very likely to be true!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Chu Clan to carry spirit stones with them. Unless the Chu Clan had such a strong foundation that even the royal family of the kingdom would envy them, but this was obviously impossible!
Therefore, Lin City was certain that even if the Chu Clan did not have a single spirit stone vein, they would still have a large amount of spirit stones. No matter where this spirit stone came from, it would be a cultivation resource that would cause people to go crazy!
Zhu Ziqian's eyes widened as he said in shock, "Little thief, are you trying to take advantage of the Chu Family's spirit stone vein?"
Lin Cheng nodded his head, "That's right! Girl, you should know how important spirit stones are to us. As long as we have enough spirit stones, we will be able to quickly increase our strength in the shortest amount of time possible.
Hearing this, Bamboo Fork couldn't help but be moved, but she quickly shook her head, "Little thief, this is too difficult! Not to mention whether the Chu Clan really has a spirit stone vein, even if they do, we will not be able to covet it! "
Even a fool would know how precious a spirit stone vein was.
If it was anyone who had a spirit stone vein, they would definitely be on guard. No matter how much importance they put on it, the Chu Family had many experts, how could these two small martial artists miss it?
Lin Cheng chuckled, "What you did was human nature! If he didn't try, how would he know that he wouldn't be able to get it? In addition, we don't need to acquire an entire mine. As long as we acquire a small portion of it, we would be able to train in it. "
Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but be moved. She bit her lips and said: "Little thief, you must promise me. If you discover that you cannot do anything, you must not force yourself. If you can't do it, I'd rather give up. "
It was true that spirit stones were important, but in Zhu Ziyang's heart, spirit stones were not even comparable to those in Lin City. It was unknown when this little thief had already entered her heart.
Lin Cheng smiled and nodded his head, "Okay."
A smile appeared on Zhui Ziqiao's pretty face. She asked, "Then, when should we set off?"
Lin Cheng said, "Let's first go and replenish some rations, then we'll travel through the night."
Bamboo Fork was stunned. "That urgent?"
Lin Chen nodded his head and said, "Although this place has already left the territory of the Myriad Sword Sect, no one can guarantee that they won't chase us. It would be better to leave as soon as possible."
Zhu Zifu nodded slightly.
As a martial artist, she could understand just how important and valuable a Heaven and Earth Primordial Flame was, let alone an alchemist or refiner. The people of the Myriad Sword Sect definitely wouldn't give up so easily.
After making an agreement as to which direction to go next, Lin City took out two medicinal plants and sold them to the relay station.
Furthermore, the quality of the medicinal ingredients that Lin Cheng had harvested was extremely well-preserved. Even those who did not know the value of the medicinal ingredients would be able to tell the quality of the medicinal ingredients.
Soon after, the two of them replenished their rations at the relay station, filled their water bags with water, hired a carriage at the relay station, and headed towards the northern part of the Eastern Region.
The coachman was a middle-aged man, and the elemental energy fluctuations emanating from his body could be seen in the forest city. This man only had the cultivation level of the Body Refinement Realm, around the sixth or seventh layer of the Body Refinement Realm. Although his strength was not high, he was still considered quite good among the coachmen at the relay station.
The reason why Lin City hired him was because he could tell that Lin Xin Yu's strength was not bad. Moreover, compared to the other coachmen who obviously looked a little scared, this coachman seemed to have even more guts.
Lin City knew that this kind of charioteer not only had decent strength, but he also had a lot of experience in travelling. More importantly, this kind of charioteer dared to take a foreign route.
And right now, Lin City had to go on a strange route. In order to avoid being tracked by the cultivators of the Myriad Sword Sect as much as possible, they couldn't go along a fixed route because he didn't know if the cultivators of the Myriad Sword Sect would chase over here.
Lin City believed that when facing cultivators, those little warriors inside the relay station would absolutely not hesitate to clearly explain his and Bamboo Hill's whereabouts. They would even clearly explain what they had eaten during dinner, not daring to hide anything from them.
Three months later, Lin City and Bamboo Hill arrived at a relay station.
At this moment, the two of them were dressed differently. They looked like ordinary adventurers, and looked very inconspicuous in this crowded relay station.
Along the way, the two of them changed routes several times and trekked for several months. Finally, they arrived at a city in the middle of the River of Heaven's Eye.
This place was close to the area of influence of the Wen Family and the Chu Family, and was also the target of the Lin City duo's trip.
The two of them were not in a hurry to go to the Wen Family or the Chu Family residence. Instead, they dressed up as ordinary adventurers and stopped at a relay station that was less than a hundred miles away from the city.
"Little thief, if we continue forward from here, we will reach Ci City. It is one of the larger cities in the kingdom, and the two major powers are the Wen and Chu families."
Bamboo Shoot said in a low voice as the two ate.
Lin Cheng nodded his head and asked, "Does everyone in Ci City know you?"
Bamboo Shoot shook his head and said, "How is that possible!? I'm not that big of a deal, how could everyone know me! Moreover, Ci City is close to the Sky Eye River, where there are many adventurers and a complicated population. Furthermore, the size of the city is not considered small, and we are all dressed like this, no one would be able to recognize us even if we were to walk on the streets. "
At this moment, the two of them were dressed like adventurers. These kinds of people could be found everywhere within the relay stations; it was simply not very eye-catching.
Lin Cheng smiled, "That's good then. In that case, let's enter the city."
One day later.
The two of them left the city and returned to the relay station.
"Little thief, even if the Chu Clan really does have a spirit stone vein, we can't let outsiders know. If we were to rashly search for information, we naturally wouldn't have any gains."
Zhu Ziyang consoled.
After a whole day of investigation, the two of them did not get any useful information. When it came to the Chu Clan, the merchants in the city could speak clearly, but they did not mention a single word about Spirit Stones.
Lin Cheng laughed, "I know." "Girl, do you think I'm asking about the location of the Chu Family's spirit stone vein?"
"Then you …" Zhu Ziquan asked doubtfully.
