Chapter 230 Returning to the Dao City, the Master and the Disciple Reunited

"It's Master Linglong..."

Many cultivators at the scene talked a lot after seeing Master Linglong appear, but they didn't dare to speak out.

In the crowd, several cultivators looked at each other after seeing Master Linglong, and finally said loudly:

"Master, we have paid the spirit stone fee, why can't we enter the ruins of Longling Sect?"

"Could it be that Master Linglong deceived us before?"

After hearing this, the emotions of the people present were directly aroused.

"Yes, could it be that Master Linglong deceived us?"

"What Master Linglong said before... that he could return the spirit stones, is it true?"

The voice became louder and louder, and hundreds and thousands of cultivators around were asking in unison.

Master Linglong's face gradually became ugly.

However, Master Linglong would not be afraid of a mere Jindan foundation-building cultivator.

Even if hundreds of cultivators gathered here, Master Linglong would not worry about his life.

But the important thing is reputation!

In his early years, he was born as a robbery cultivator, and he cultivated all the way to the Nascent Soul stage. I don't know how many big worlds he has experienced.

His hands had already turned red.

But after Linglong broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he joined the neutral forces and had been cleaned up for a long time.

After being cleaned up, Linglong Zhenren cared more about his reputation.

He no longer had to live in hiding and was respected by other cultivators.

But now if his reputation became worse, he might have to hide in disguise as a robbery cultivator like before...

Thinking of this, Linglong Zhenren's face became even uglier.

He looked at the Fifth Young Master not far away.

The Fifth Young Master gave him a reassuring look, and then said:

"Everyone, no one expected that a transformed monster would appear in this ruin."

"Even now, the ruins are still open, do you dare to enter and explore?"

After hearing this, the cultivators below fell silent.

Indeed, even if the Longling Sect ruins were not closed, they probably wouldn't dare to enter again.

After all, a transformed monster, as long as one is unhappy, will die if you go in.

Seeing that the discussion around him had quieted down a lot, the Fifth Young Master said:

"Master Linglong has now become the worshiper of our Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce."

"The spiritual stones owed to you will also be borne by our Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce..."

"Today, some of the spiritual stones have been returned. As for the spiritual stones of the cultivators who have not yet arrived, you can return to Tiandao City at any time and ask me for them."

After hearing this, the cultivators around nodded in agreement.

One thousand spiritual stones can still be returned, which is indeed something they dare not even think about.

Only a few Jindan cultivators in the crowd looked much uglier.

After whispering a few words, they hurriedly wanted to leave.

The Fifth Young Master winked at the guards on the side, and then took Master Linglong away for the time being.

A storm seemed to have subsided.

...

At the same time, thousands of miles away.

Lin Chen drove the purple jade gourd and flew towards Tiandao City.

Since leaving the ruins of Longling Sect, Lin Chen always felt something was wrong and had a feeling of uneasiness.

Therefore, Lin Chen did not save his true essence and mana, but flew to Tiandao City at full speed.

Li Zhenqian and Zhou Tieshan were a little surprised to see this.

Jiang Liqian also approached Lin Chen and whispered:

"Brother Lin, do you feel something is wrong?"

Lin Chen nodded and said, "The Fifth Young Master has summoned so many cultivators. If it is just to return the spirit stones, it seems unnecessary..."

"And our goal has been achieved, so let's return to Tiandao City as soon as possible."

Jiang Liqian nodded and said, "Okay, then I will take turns with my brother to drive, so it will be faster..."

Lin Chen nodded in agreement.

No matter if there is any accident after this exploration of the ruins, as long as they return to Tiandao City, they will not be threatened.

...

In a blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Lin Chen and Jiang Liqian have been maintaining the speed of the peak of the golden elixir, and they have been rushing to Tiandao City non-stop.

It was not until he entered Tiandao City that the ominous premonition in Lin Chen's heart gradually dissipated.

After returning to Tiandao City, Lin Chen first found his master Han Jihai. After dealing with trivial matters, he discussed with Jiang Liqian the time to leave Tiandao City.

"Junior Sister Jiang, when are we going to Wendao City?"

Lin Chen asked.

He had been in Tiandao City for several months, and the pass documents had been processed.

The eldest sister and the third brother were still waiting in Wendao City, so it was time to leave.

Jiang Liqian thought for a while and said:

"How about I go after I collect a new batch of osmanthus flowers in two days?"

"Okay, then two days later." Lin Chen nodded in agreement. Fortunately, these two days were not a big deal.

...

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

During these two days, no accidents occurred, and everything in Tiandao City was as usual, stable and peaceful.

The news of the ruins of the Dragon Spirit Sect and the appearance of the transformed monster quickly spread throughout the three Wendao cities.

However, the cultivators in the city were not panicked at all.

Because even a transformed demon would not dare to set foot in Tiandao City and cause any trouble.

That morning, Lin Chen used the earth escape technique to sneak into the ground thousands of miles deep.

He hid all the way to a barren mountain thousands of miles away from Tiandao City.

In this barren mountain, there was a cave that Lin Chen had opened up in advance, with restrictions inside.

"Xuantian treasure gourd... Gathering three of them can already stimulate some of its power."

Lin Chen murmured.

With a thought in his mind, three gourds appeared in his hands.

Purple jade gourd, blue jade gourd, and the green jade gourd given to him by Junior Sister Jiang.

"The purple jade gourd is best at speed; the sapphire gourd breeds aura; the sapphire gourd has a larger storage space..."

"According to Junior Sister Jiang, the fusion of three gourds is very simple..."

Lin Chen took out all the items in the three gourds.

Then, the sapphire gourd was put into the sapphire gourd.

I saw a flash of light on the sapphire gourd, and the sapphire gourd disappeared...

"Sure enough, it really worked!"

Lin Chen's eyes were filled with joy.

It is common sense that a storage magic weapon cannot be loaded into another storage magic weapon.

But the fusion method of Xuantian Bao Gourd completely subverts this common sense.

Just follow the matryoshka method and put the gourds into other gourds in turn.

Of course, when loading, nothing can be placed in the gourd...

After successfully loading the sapphire gourd, Lin Chen loaded the sapphire gourd into the purple jade gourd.

I saw a flash of purple light, and the three gourds completely merged into one.

"So, this fusion is complete? No need for any sacrificial techniques..."

Lin Chen probed his consciousness into the purple jade gourd.

I saw that the space inside the gourd was much larger than before.

From a one-foot radius, it directly became a ten-foot radius!

Even the previous jade gourd was only three feet in diameter!

After being enlarged into a radius of ten feet, the storage space of this gourd has been increased by almost a thousand times!

Equivalent to 155,000 cubic meters...

It's bigger than a giant storage warehouse.

"With this treasure gourd, you no longer need to worry about insufficient storage space..."

Lin Chen grinned, this gourd was of great use to him.

With the storage space expanded a thousand times, it would become much more convenient for Lin Chen to bring back supplies from Blue Star.

"Besides...this gourd seems to have other functions?"

Lin Chen took a deep breath, squeezed out a drop of blood essence from his body, and dropped it on the gourd.

After that, Lin Chen felt that he had established a connection with the gourd, and after a little refinement, the precious gourd could be completely suppressed.

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly as the gourd changed from purple to blue, and then to cyan.

The shape has also become the size of a thumb, and can be hung around the waist as an ornament.

"Yes, with this ability... the gourd is even more hidden."

Lin Chen nodded.

However, what he is more concerned about is the ability of the blue jade gourd to generate spiritual energy!

"According to the records in the ancient book, the Xuantian treasure gourd contains a part of the world. After it is divided into seven... each gourd of different colors has different abilities..."

"This blue jade gourd has the effect of refining spiritual energy!"

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly, and he took out hundreds of middle-grade spiritual stones and put them into the gourd...

The blue jade gourd can give birth to spiritual energy, but it cannot appear directly out of thin air.

The simplest way is of course to put the spirit stone into a gourd.

The gourd will then move on its own, converting the spiritual stones into spiritual energy continuously.

"But...this ability seems useless?"

Lin Chen frowned slightly.

If it were a heaven and earth, spiritual energy could be born within it, and spiritual plants and spiritual beasts could be cultivated.

Of course there are many advantages.

But this defective Xuantian treasure gourd is a fusion of three pieces.

But without the two most critical jade gourds, black and white, it still cannot contain living beings.

Putting the spiritual stones into it and converting it into spiritual energy... seems to be a bit of a waste.

"Oh, it seems that we have to find more gourds in the future to make things easier..."

Lin Chen shook his head and simply ignored the gourd.

Only the internal storage space has been increased by a thousand times, which is enough for Lin Chen.

"It's almost time to return to Tiandao City first..."

Lin Chen was afraid that the Fusion Gourd would make a big fuss, so he made an unexpected trip.

After putting away the gourd, Lin Chen rushed towards Tiandao City.

An hour later, Han Jihai knocked on Lin Chen's door.

"Chen'er, the time has come, we should set off!"

Squeak——

After hearing the sound, Lin Chen opened the door.

I saw Han Jihai, Zhou Tieshan, Li Zhenqian... and Jiang Liqian.

"Okay, let's go!"

A group of five people completed the registration formalities, set off from the west of the city, and headed all the way towards Daocheng.

A week later, we visited the east gate of the city.

Several people completed the registration formalities and entered the Wendao City smoothly.

After entering Daodao City, Han Jihai immediately contacted the senior sister and third senior brother.

That evening, several people went into an inn for a small gathering.

…

Asking the city, looking forward to the immortal residence.

This is one of the largest restaurants in Daocheng City, as famous as Tianxiang Tower and Zuixian Pavilion.

At the same time, it is also the only green inn among the three major restaurants.

Han Jihai booked a private room early and took Jiang Liqian, Lin Chen and others to order food and wait.

About half an hour later, Mi Keer and Jing Xiaoa entered the box.

After seeing the senior sister and third junior brother entering, Han Jihai greeted:

"Waiter, it's time to serve..."

The waiter in the foundation building stage nodded respectfully and said: "I obey, Immortal~"

Lin Chen noticed that after Han Jihai heard the word "Shangxian", his body visibly trembled slightly, as if he felt relieved.

But he quickly returned to his original state and said calmly:

"Well, you go ahead."

After the waiter left, Mi Keer looked at Han Jihai in surprise and asked:

"Old man, are you rich? This is Wangxianju... Do you know how high the consumption is?"

Third Senior Brother Jing Xiao'a also nodded repeatedly, looking at the decoration in the box with a look of amazement.

The floor under his feet was made of green jade, and the spiritual lamp above his head was made of colorful glass.

The landscape paintings on the wall were also painted by famous artists.

The most exaggerated thing was the round table made of mahogany.

It was taken from a whole piece of mahogany that was ten thousand years old, and it had its own fire aura.

With the help of a constant temperature formation, even if the food was served several hours in advance, it could still guarantee the taste of freshly baked food.

In Wangxianju, the average consumption per person was more than a thousand spirit stones.

And the minimum consumption for a private room was more than ten thousand spirit stones!

Even Jindan cultivators could not afford it, and only those Yuanying Zhenren could be regular customers.

Facing the surprise of the two disciples, Han Jihai waved his hands and said:

"Look at your inexperienced look, don't tell others that you are my disciples..."

"It's just a few spirit stones, you are so distressed?"

Han Jihai hesitated for a moment, but still threw two storage bags.

Mi Ke'er and Jing Xiao'a looked at each other, probed into them with their spiritual sense, and then their faces changed drastically.

"Old man, did you take bribes and sell Changchunmen?" Mi Ke'er was a little stunned.

Each of these two storage bags contained 300,000 spirit stones.

It was almost as much as Mi Ke'er and Jing Xiao'a's entire fortune.

Han Jihai saw that the two disciples were so surprised, and looked very happy.

After finishing that deal with Lin Chen, Han Jihai had millions of spirit stones in his hands.

In addition, Lin Chen gave Old Han more than a hundred thousand-year-old spirit peaches a few days ago...

Han Jihai really became a big upstart, almost comparable to a Yuanying cultivator.

Now that he has seen his two disciples whom he has not seen for a long time, he naturally wants to show off.

"Alas, eldest brother, third brother... you have suffered a lot outside!"

"Follow me, Old Han, in the future, and I will ensure that you will have enough money for cultivation!"

Mi Ke'er and Jing Xiao'a rolled their eyes after hearing this. Don't they know what Old Han is capable of?

He is first-rate in saving lives, but when it comes to making money...

"Fourth Junior Brother, tell me... how do you make money?" Mi Ke'er asked curiously.

After hearing this, Lin Chen roughly told him about what happened in Qingyu Town and the gains from that job.

Mi Ke'er's eyes immediately turned red after hearing this, and she slapped her thigh and exclaimed:

"You robbed the demon cultivator! This... how much fine wine can you get in exchange?"

Mi Ke'er looked excited.

Looking at Jing Xiao'a again, her expression was similar to that of the eldest senior sister.

After hearing this, Lin Chen could see that the two senior brothers and sisters were not living well, and their Taoist robes seemed to be a little worn out.

So he asked: "Brother, sister...you have been..."

After hearing this, Mi Ke'er sighed and said:

"Oh, don't mention it..."

She complained bitterly and told her experiences in the past few years.

A few years ago, Mi Ke'er and Jing Xiao'a came to the city of Taoism under the order of Changchun Patriarch.

At first, they were ordered to purchase some resources in the city.

But later they were ordered by the Patriarch to wait for Lin Chen and others to arrive in the city.

When they set out, Changchun Patriarch also gave them more than 100,000 spirit stones as expenses for cultivation.

But Mi Ke'er likes wine, and seeing the fine wine in the city, she couldn't walk.

Compared with the fairy wine in Taoism City, the spirit wine of Changchun Gate is no different from cat urine...

In the words of the eldest sister, the wine in Taoism City has no disadvantages except being expensive!

After a while, after drinking a lot of fine wine, most of the spirit stones on her body were spent.

The third brother Jing Xiao'a saw that the eldest sister drank and delayed things, and spent all the spirit stones for purchasing resources, and suddenly became anxious.

He could only think of ways to make money...

But his way of making money...was naturally to go to the gambling house.

At first, he won hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, but he never thought that he would encounter a pig-killing scam...

In the end, he lost everything and almost sold himself.

Owing hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, the two could only work in the city of Wendao.

Became the guard of the gambling house to earn spirit stones to pay off the debt.

Until they got the news that Lin Chen and others had come to the city, they asked for half a day off and hurried over.

After listening to the words of his senior brother and sister, Lin Chen sighed and said:

"Alas, senior sister, senior brother...it's really hard for you!"

"Wuwu...Xiaochen..."

After hearing this, Mi Ke'er burst into tears again and hugged him.

Lin Chen's eyes suddenly went dark...

Well, it's still a familiar size.

"Ahem..."

But Lin Chen noticed a fiery gaze on the side, and quickly broke free and said:

"Senior sister, senior brother...eat first!"

As he said that, Lin Chen looked at Junior Sister Jiang with a guilty conscience.

Soon, the food was served.

When Mi Ke'er and Jing Xiao'a saw the delicious spiritual stone, they were immediately starving and started to eat and drink.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone had almost finished eating.

Mi Ke'er took a sip of wine, burped without hesitation and asked:

"Hi~ Master, when will we return to Changchunmen?"

"This Dao City is good... but I can't afford it! Jindan cultivators... have no status in this city!"

Han Jihai did not answer after hearing this, but looked at Lin Chen on the side.

Lin Chen also fell silent after hearing this.

After a while, he organized his words and said:

"Actually, before I set out this time, I received a secret mission from the ancestor!"
