"All together?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately shook his head and laughed, "Seems like this is Young Master's first time coming to our Dongluo City."

Lin Cheng frowned, "What do you mean?"

The shopkeeper said, "Young master doesn't know that ever since Apothecary Chen disappeared without a reason two years ago, he stopped selling high-grade pills. Even the best quality herbs are no longer being sold and are now purchasing large quantities of medicinal herbs. Young master's plans are going to fail."

"Oh?"

Lin Cheng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that, "You're not selling any medicinal pills or ingredients here? Right, why did you say that the apothecary who returned here disappeared for no reason? Could it be that the headquarter has not sent any new apothecaries? "

The shopkeeper said, "It's not that I don't want to sell medicinal pills and ingredients here. It's just that the quality is very poor, so you can forget about buying high quality medicinal pills." In addition, of course, there are alchemists who have returned to the hall, but they are no longer concocting pills for the guests like they were in the past. "

Lin Cheng could not help but ask doubtfully, "Why would there be such a change when we're all together?"

The shopkeeper said, "In fact, even if I didn't tell you, you would have heard that the main hall is recruiting apothecaries without restraint. It is said that some of the more outstanding apothecaries are gathered together to provide them with medicinal herbs to refine pills.

However, an ordinary alchemist would not receive such treatment. They would have to purchase and refine their own medicinal herbs to prove their alchemy level. As a result, it would be very difficult to find any medicinal herbs in the Dongluo City as they have all been bought by those alchemists. "

Speaking up to this point, the shopkeeper shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If that wasn't the case, I wouldn't have needed to purchase medicinal ingredients from Young Master."

Lin Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows before smiling and nodding his head.

It was because he was worried that the shopkeeper would sell the herbs to the alchemists. After all, if he could befriend an alchemist, it would be worth it even if he lost a few gold coins.

"Ai!"

The shopkeeper let out a long sigh and said, "It's a pity that I can only concoct some simple medicinal liquids with all my might. If I were an alchemist, I would also think of ways to join the group. That's a chance to join a sect!"

Lin Cheng was stunned and he quickly asked, "Shopkeeper, do you think that an apothecary recruited together will have the chance to join the sect?"

The shopkeeper looked at Lin Cheng strangely and asked: "Could it be that young master doesn't know that the one who is gathered here is a sect that belongs to the cultivation world? If he is an outstanding alchemist, he would naturally have the chance to join!"

Lin Cheng laughed, "So that's how it is. I forgot about that."

He knew in his heart that this shopkeeper was not aware of the internal affairs surrounding this event. Even though an outstanding apothecary had the chance to join a sect, how could such a large sect lack apothecaries? It would definitely not be easy to be one of them.

Not to mention, how many outstanding alchemists could there be in this mortal world?

Lin Cheng could faintly sense that there was another reason why he was willing to gather so many apothecaries this time around.

If he was able to join one, that would mean that he would be able to obtain a huge amount of cultivation resources. He could refine pills and pick herbs himself, but the cultivation world's heaven and earth treasures were not just limited to medicinal pills and ingredients. For example, spirit stones, it would be very difficult to find them alone in Lin City.

However, Lin Cheng knew that it was impossible for him to join a sect that belonged to none other than Chen Yongwen.

"Little thief, this is an opportunity!"

She looked at Lin Cheng with her bright eyes and said, "If you can become a disciple of a sect, you will definitely have great achievements in the future!"

"Don't even think about joining a sect."

Lin Cheng shook his head as he smiled wryly and whispered, "I'm lucky that they didn't chase after me."

"Little thief, you're talking about that apothecary named Chen, right? That's no big deal, as long as you perform well enough, the sect will naturally believe your explanation. Moreover, they might not know that you killed …"

Lin Cheng shook his head, "Little girl, if this matter were that simple, there wouldn't be so many conflicts and battles in this world."

It was as Zhu Ziyang had said, if his performance in alchemy was as outstanding as possible, Guiyi Guiyi would naturally place more importance on him. Compared to a dead and ordinary alchemist like Chen Yongwen, a living high-level alchemist was naturally more valuable.

But no one could guarantee whether or not Chen Yongwen would have friends or senior brothers and sisters within the sect. If they knew that the person who killed Chen Yongwen was right in front of their eyes, how could they not be moved?

Moreover, it was still unknown whether Gui Sect would write off the matter of him killing Chen Yongwen just because of his outstanding pill refining skills.

Of course, Lin Cheng also understood that the more likely possibility was that no one from the Gui Yuan Sect knew about Chen Yongwen. It was likely that Chen Yongwen also had some fame in the Main Sect.

However, this was only one possibility. Although Lin Cheng also wanted to join a sect, he would not rashly head over there. If he head over and found out that he had fallen into a trap, then he would be filled with regret.

And there was another reason why Lin Cheng didn't want to join a sect … Lin Cheng looked at Zhu Zifu and smiled. "Girl, let's go to the inn and book a room. After a short rest, we'll head to the Great Luo Mountain Range."

Zhu Zifu hurriedly said, "Little thief, this is a rare opportunity …"

Before she could finish, Lin Cheng interrupted her with a smile, "Girl, as long as we both break into the Danhai Realm and become cultivators, any sect will welcome us."

"You are daydreaming!"

Zhu Zifu helplessly rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think it's that easy to join a sect in the world of cultivation? If that was the case, then where did all these rogue cultivators come from? Many of them wish to enter a sect in their dreams, but they have been rejected for their entire lives. Why doesn't the sect welcome them? "

Becoming a member of a sect wasn't just a matter of having a high level of cultivation. While a sect valued cultivation, it also valued the potential and potential of cultivators!

It was just like when the East Region Academy was recruiting students. Their potential was what they valued the most, which was why after the first round of exams, they still had to test their Spiritual Aura compatibility.

That day, Lin City was already an expert in the realm of the Arterial Circulation Realm. However, because of the lack of response from the testing stones, they were mercilessly rejected. Even the students who were also taking the test mocked them.

For example, some patriarchs and elders of aristocratic families would probably only reach the Danhai Realm when they were in their thirties or forties. A cultivator like this would never be able to achieve much in his life even if he joined a sect.

Lin Cheng laughed, "Yes yes, my little girl is very knowledgeable, I am ashamed of myself!"

Bamboo stick blushed and rolled her eyes at him, "Indecent! Who's yours! "

Lin Cheng laughed and said, "Little girl, don't worry. With me here, we will soon enter the Dan Sea."

"Chi!"

Just as Lin City's voice fell, a disdainful sneer came from the side. "What big words! Aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue away!?"

"Haha …"

A burst of disdainful laughter boomed.

"Apothecary Gong's pill refining level is so outstanding. Young Master Gong's talent is so extraordinary and he is only at the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation Realm. How dare this little mountain kid dream of becoming a cultivator?"

"He is trying to become a cultivator!"

"Hahaha …"

"Humph!"

Zhu Zifu snorted coldly as his face turned cold. He was about to turn around and scold her when he was stopped by Lin Cheng.

Lin Cheng turned around and saw that not too far away from them, there were a few youths dressed in tight clothing. One of them was dressed in luxurious clothing and held a fan in his hand, he looked like an elegant young master, but there was a frivolous look between his brows, and his gaze was filled with disdain as he looked at Lin City.

However, when the well-dressed youth's gaze landed on Zhu Ziyang, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his face revealed a trace of greed and lust.

"All of you, shut up!"

The well-dressed youth glared and turned to scold the others beside him, "You don't know how to be polite!"

Then, he turned to look at Bamboo Forcing with a warm smile on his face, "This junior sister, I am Gong Yuguo. May I know how I should address you?"

Zhu Zifu looked at him coldly and said coldly, "Scram!"

The face of the well-dressed youth called Gong Yuanzhao changed, and immediately laughed out loud. "Good! Junior Sister is really a person with good feelings! "However, junior sister, since you're so disrespectful to senior brother, I'm afraid …"

Swish!

A cold light flashed and enveloped Gong Yuguo, causing his frivolous laughter to abruptly stop.

Gong Yuzhao's expression changed drastically. He only felt that the cold light in front of him had sealed off all of his paths. Every single cold light was extremely fatal, causing his entire body to turn cold as his soul left his body.

"Pah!"

A clear and loud sound suddenly came out. Lin Cheng's long blade fiercely slapped Gong Yuguo's face, causing the latter to let out a blood-curdling scream as he was sent flying and heavily fell on the ground.

The others were shocked as they ran over and shouted, "Young master, how are you? Are you alright? "

"Ugh!"

Gong Yuzhao's face was pale from the pain. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, blood mixed with broken teeth started to flow out. He glared at Lin Cheng and said angrily: "You dare to attack me? You are courting death! "

Lin Cheng coldly glared at him, "Scram!"
