Chapter 187: Chapter 123: Seeking Help in the Misty Forest with Fireworks 2
Translator: 549690339
The path of survival isn’t a cowardly one after all. He couldn’t bear to see himself not coming to the rescue when he was obviously capable of trouncing the opponent.
Once Lin Yi made his decision, he didn’t waste any more time and quickly headed into the depths of the Misty Forest. As the mist thickened, his own perception was greatly affected.
Son, he arrived near the location of the signal flares, activated the Concealing Breath Technique, and slowly approached the area.
He was already deep into the Misty Forest, not too far from the gorge passage.
The mist was so heavy that he couldn’t even see the surrounding trees. Cultivators at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer could only rely on their remaining perception and walk carefully.
Like himself, running so fast, by the time he reached the gorge passage, he would probably look like a bruised Tathagata Buddha.
Although Lin Yi e s perception was greatly impaired, his cultivation in the Foundation Building Realm still allowed him to sense the nearby aura.
Eventually, during his incessant walk, he sensed two thick waves of blood, accompanied by a somewhat bloody smell. It seemed that two disciples of the Blood Demonic Sect had successfully met up and forced one of his peers to release the final distress signal.
He slowly advanced, but the Great Perfect Spirit Eye Technique in the Foundation Building Realm could only perceive things within a few meters. The suppression of the Misty Forest was indeed too strong.
After walking for a while, he vaguely saw three figures, one running in front, and the other two chasing behind, very close.
The figure in front seemed to be injured and was running very slowly.
“Hehe, the young lady from the Liu Yun Sect, stop running, come on, I’ll stand still, let you use your illusion to confuse us.”
“Are you hoping someone will save you in this Misty Forest? If you obey us, you may have a chance to survive.”
Soon, the figure in front fell weakly, yelling with all her strength.
“l am Shen Yuting, a disciple of Jade Illusion Peak of the Liu Yun Sect, being chased by two cultivators of the Blood Demonic Sect. I am asking for help from capable peers and righteous senior cultivators. I will surely repay your kindness.’
“Still hoping someone will save you? Even if your peers saw the signal, they wouldn’t come, not to mention this is the Misty Forest.”
“Tsk, Jade Illusion Peak, the gorgeous Jade Illusion Zen Ren is your great-grandmaster. When I romance you later, remember to use illusion to make yourself look like Jade Illusion Zen Ren…”
“Brother Fan, you really know how to have fun. I didn’t think of that, Jade Illusion Zen Ren, just a glance at her can arouse primitive impulses.”
Lin Yi approached them and hid in a bush, listening to their conversation. His face was calm as he swiftly used the Thunder Spell twice, targeting the two of them.
His Thunder Spell was now at the Great Perfect Level. Under the Foundation Building Realm, he could use High-level Qi Refinement techniques without much cooldown time.
Pretty much every Righteous Cultivation Alliance sect has the Thunder Spell, so he wouldn’t need to worry about revealing his identity after using it.
This female disciple from Jade Illusion Peak was quite respectful – she mentioned the number of enemies and called for help from capable peers and senior cultivators from righteous sects.
Given these two Blood Demonic Sect disciples’ abilities, even Xie Jing Xing, the direct disciple of Gold Sword Zen Ren, may not necessarily be able to handle them.
Above their heads, five thunderbolts appeared out of thin air. Under their swift attack, the two’s defensive shields and Magic Artifact Shields were broken instantly, turning them into charred corpses.
Then, using the Object Manipulation Spell, Lin Yi summoned the bodies, licked the bag, and collected two storage bags.
After he blew up the first equipment of a Xuan Yin Sect cultivator with his Thunder Spell previously, he had learnt to be more cautious, and tried to not attack their bodies as much as possible with lightning.
Then, he used the Rebirth Charm to perform rites. To get the karma reward, he had to perform this act of sending-off.
Killing, looting, sending-off, the whole procedure was as smooth and practised as flowing clouds and water.
After killing these two and rescuing the same sect disciple, he found that his Title “Little Compassion Little Mercy” experience increased by 10 points too.
Doing good deeds can increase experience points. This had been confirmed before.
The female disciple of Jade Illusion Peak saw the scene of two nearby disciples from the Blood Demonic Sect being struck by lightning and falling straight down.
However, the bodies of these two flew away instantly. She realized that someone must have intervened.
With gratitude on her face, she clasped her fists and called out, “May I ask which senior brother came to help, I hope you could show yourself, so I can express my thanks properly.”
But there was no response around her. After briefly using her energy to heal her injury, she quickly scanned the vicinity but found no trace of anyone, not even the corpses of the two Blood Demonic Sect disciples were to be found.
Deep doubts arose in Shen Yutings heart. This senior brother had enormous power, able to kill a Blood Demonic Sect Cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer with a single thunder and lightning technique. If he were so capable, why didn’t he show himself?
The Thunder Spell is a common technique amongst the various sects, and thus, she couldn’t discern which sect the senior brother hailed from. The only one that could be excluded was the Heavenly Sword Sect, because all the disciples of this sect were sword masters, who generally wouldn’t use spells.
The fact that even the corpses were missing was strange.
She shook her head and decided to heal her injuries right there. The most dangerous place was also the safest. Aside from disciples of her own sect and other Righteous Sects, very few would stick their noses into other people’s business to save her.
Elsewhere, Lin Yi found a place to check the two storage bags after leaving. The two fellas were somewhat affluent. In addition to over ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones, there were also over thirty medium-grade spirit stones.
These two brought all their assets with them, either they were too confident in their own strength, or they were worried about leaving spirit stones at their sects for fear of being stolen.
Besides that, there were also a few magic artifacts and blood-red pills. He threw all of them into the Misty Forest, only keeping the spirit stones.
He felt a bit regretful because these ‘sheep’ were still lean, they hadn’t even reached the first medicine garden yet. He decided to kill fewer people, and then wait for these ‘sheep’ to fatten up. It wouldn’t be too late to make a move when they provoked him.
Lin Yi continued into the deeper parts of the Misty Forest. His perception was getting weaker, but it didn’t really matter since he was only treading less-traveled paths.
While the Misty Forest wasn’t very large, a Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivator would still need at least a day to reach the canyon passage, as the deeper one got, the slower their progress.
Still, Lin Yi maintained some degree of perception, and his speed was as fast as before.
After only a few hours, he arrived at the canyon passage. The moment he stepped onto the passage, the surrounding mist disappeared instantly, revealing the bridge-like structure of the mountain rock.
In the middle of the mountain rock, there was a courtyard where one could see spirit grass growing in the neighboring land.
At this moment, someone inside the courtyard seemed to be waiting for the spirit grass to mature. It was noted in the Secret Realm Manual that the spirit grass in the medicine garden was protected by a formation, and it could only be picked when it had reached a certain age.
Lin Yi chuckled. The cultivator inside appeared to have been teleported to a good location and then rushed over without any stop.
He didn’t plan to waste time in this medicine garden. Being the outermost one it wasn’t deemed too valuable. It was better to prioritize finding a cave mansion.
Seeing Lin Yi approach, the man exuded an intense dark aura and used the Spirit Eye Technique. He sneered immediately, “Qi Refining Eighth Layer, and you still dare to come to the Secret Realm. Get lost.”
Lin Yi presented a bright smile and didn’t seem mad at all. He memorized the qi of this person secretly. With a polite tone, he said: “l hope you pick a lot of Spirit Grass, fellow Daoist. I’ll take my leave now.”
It was a pity to kill this guy now. It was better to let him be and let him pick spirit grass for himself.
Seeing Lin Yi’s smiling face, the demonic path cultivator looked puzzled. He was insulted, yet was still happy. It was mysterious. He waved his hand dismissively, signaling Lin Yi to scram.
Without any hold-up, Lin Yi left via a narrow path in the medicine garden. Apart from this stone bridge, the surrounding canyon was also filled with fog.
If it weren’t for the previous cultivator who risked his life to fly across using a Spirit Boat, no one would have known that there was a gigantic python lurking beneath the fog of the canyon..
