BXBX NOVEL Chapter 232: 223 Elder Wang
“A watched pot never boils.”
This phrase couldn’t better describe Lin Jing and his companions’ current predicament.
They initially thought that the remaining distance wasn’t very far.
However…
It took them more than an hour of flying to reach the foot of that mountain peak.
Of course…
Aside from Lin Jingzhi, the others could have been faster.
But they deliberately slowed down to accommodate Lin Jingzhi.
And Lin Jingzhi himself…
Naturally, he didn’t dare reveal his true strength and flew with all his might at the speed that would be expected of someone at the eighth level of Qi Refinement.
Along the way…
Li Tangyu flew beside Lin Jingzhi, also helping to explain many things to him.
It was after listening to Li Tangyu’s explanation that Lin Jingzhi learned that the towering peak before them was known as the Skyreaching Peak.
Because of its shape resembling a pillar that connects heaven and earth.
That’s why it was called Skyreaching Peak.
Exactly how tall Skyreaching Peak is, remains unknown because no one has been able to reach its summit.
Numerous formations protect the entirety of Skyreaching Peak.
The people from the three major sects once thought there might be some rare treasures atop Skyreaching Peak and sought to break the formations to ascend to the summit.
But…
Even with the most skilled formation elders from the sects, they were unable to break the formations of Skyreaching Peak.
The person who set up these formations clearly had a mastery far beyond theirs, and even if there were incredible treasures up top, they could only sigh in longing.
Eventually, the three major sects also chose to give up.
They turned their efforts to other directions and continued to explore.
The group arrived at the foot of Skyreaching Peak.
Just like the entrance to the Secret Realm, this place too had been developed by the three major sects.
Lin Jing stood on his Flying Sword, looking down.
These buildings already had the makings of a Fang Market.
Seeing this, it seemed the three major sects planned to build a market here.
Presumably…
The people from the three major sects wanted to use the Cleansing Spirit Pool to develop this place for the long term.
No wonder so little of the Cleansing Spirit Liquid was being distributed.
It turns out the three major sects had a plan for steady and sustained growth.
But in fact, there’s nothing wrong with this approach.
The entirety of the Nanming Domain is just so big.
Securing cultivation resources is extremely difficult.
If they could make good use of this Demon Race Secret Realm.
They could raise the overall strength of the entire Nanming Domain by more than just one grade.
It was understandable for the three major sects to act this way.
“Let’s go, let’s head down…”
After Elder Master Li finished speaking,
he took the lead in putting away his Flying Sword and descended.
The others did the same, stowing their Flying Swords and landing alongside Elder Master Li at the entrance to the market.
They then followed Elder Master Li into the market.
At the entrance to the market,
there were disciples from the three major sects standing guard.
However…
Before they could enter the market,
an elder in a white robe emerged from within and approached Elder Master Li.
This elder in a white robe came up to them, smiling at Elder Master Li as he said:
“Elder Li…
“Aren’t you busy with alchemy at home? What brings you out here?”
It seemed…
This elder in a white robe was an old acquaintance of Elder Master Li’s and they shared a close relationship.
Elder Master Li also responded with a smile:
“Isn’t it that the younger generation in my family wanted to come to the Cleansing Spirit Pool? I’m not too busy recently, so I decided to accompany them on a visit.”
After Elder Master Li finished speaking, he immediately asked the elder in a white robe:
“Old Wang…”
“Is it your turn to stand guard here today?”
“Indeed…” replied the elder in the white robe.
After the elder in the white robe finished speaking, Elder Master Li turned to the group behind him and said:
“This one is Elder Wang from the Qingyuan Sword Sect.”
Several people nodded in understanding, and then they clasped their hands together and greeted Elder Wang:
“Elder Wang…”
“Good… good…”
Elder Wang smiled in response.
Then he looked towards Lin Jing and the other two, asking Elder Master Li:
“I’ve met these two members of your household before…”
“And these others, which family are they from?”
Elder Master Li first pointed towards Zhang Yuan and said:
“This one is a junior from the house of Chén Fán the Immortal…”
Elder Wang looked at Zhang Yuan and nodded his head:
“So, he’s from the house of Immortal Chén Fán…”
“Junior Zhang Yuan pays his respects to Elder Wang.”
Zhang Yuan quickly clasped his hand and bowed to Elder Wang.
“No need for such formalities. I’ve met your ancestor several times and even discussed the Dao with him. We can be considered friends.”
Elder Wang said with a smile.
Having said this.
Elder Wang then turned his head to look at Lin Jing and Huang Qingling.
And at that moment, Elder Master Li also began to introduce them.
“These two are juniors from Elder Bai’s Yuebao Lou.”
“Oh, is that so…”
Elder Wang uttered, nodding his head.
Since Elder Bai from Yuebaolou belonged to the Yiyun Pavilion, and rarely dealt with members of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, they were not very familiar with each other.
Thus, there wasn’t much to say.
Afterward…
Elder Wang didn’t engage the others further but started chatting with Elder Master Li.
“Let’s go, let’s enter and talk while we walk…”
Subsequently…
Elder Wang and Elder Master Li walked together towards the Fang Market.
Meanwhile, Lin Jing and the others followed behind the two men.
Upon arriving inside the Fang Market…
Elder Wang first found a place for them to stay, and then had a chat with Elder Master Li.
It wasn’t until a disciple from the Qingyuan Sword Sect came looking for Elder Wang on some business…
That he finally left.
After Elder Wang had departed, Elder Master Li called the others over.
Once everyone was present.
Elder Master Li took out several tokens and handed them to Li Tangyu.
“These are your tokens for entering the Cleansing Spirit Pool tomorrow. Each person gets one.”
“Tangyu, distribute them to them!”
“Yes, Grandfather…”
Then.
Li Tangyu handed out the tokens to them one by one.
Lin Jing received the token from Li Tangyu’s hand and began to examine it.
The token was made of jade, smooth and warm to the touch.
Moreover.
There were formation restrictions within the token, which seemed to indicate it might have other uses.
Beyond that, engraved on the back of the token were several large characters: Yi Seventeen.
But he did not know…
What the characters on it meant.
After all the tokens had been distributed, Elder Master Li spoke again:
“Just now…”
“Elder Wang briefly mentioned some details about the place of spiritual cleansing to me.”
“I will now relay that information to you.”
Hearing Elder Master Li say this, everyone listened earnestly.
Having just finished speaking.
Elder Master Li, fearing they might not understand, further explained:
“Oh…”
“The place of spiritual cleansing is the location you will go to tomorrow.”
The others nodded, indicating their understanding.
Then Elder Master Li continued:
“The token in your hands is the key to opening the cultivation cave dwellings.”
“By placing this token into the formation at the entrance of the cave dwelling, you can open the formation and enter the cave dwelling for cultivation.”
“Also, the engravings on the back of the token, you’ve all seen them, right…”
“The numbers inscribed are the code for your cave dwelling, which you can open with the tokens you have.”
