Afterward, Lin Changāan wandered around the market again for a while. The prices here were comparatively high, so he only bought some rare materials.
After all, although he had many Spirit Stones, he wasnāt about to waste them like that.
Then he used a Sound Transmission Talisman to contact Hu Jin. Both of them also purchased some rare resources and met up in the market to prepare to leave.
...
In this market, each cultivator had a malicious and fierce look, as if they were Tribulation Cultivators.
In the dark, several people were watching their backs, secretly starting to communicate.
"These two definitely have a lot of Spirit Stones on them. Although my Spirit Pet doesnāt help much in combat, in terms of smell, as long as they are carrying a large number of Spirit Stones, it can sniff them out."
A masked cultivator spoke gloomily, while the other two quietly nodded.
"Weāve tracked them for a while, and theyāre buying unique materials here. They seem to be outsiders, not from here."
Like Lin Changāan and Hu Jin, purchasing unique materials can be easily guessed by anyone with an eye on them.
Itās really about not wanting to waste Spirit Stones, buying something you can get outside.
"Two late-stage Foundation Establishment, and a few more to teach them."
"Outsiders, if they had background, they wouldnāt risk coming here to buy, letās go!"
...
As Lin Changāan and Hu Jin walked out of the market, they used sword flight under the dim night sky.
"Old Lin, weāve got a tail following us. Looks like weāve been targeted."
After leaving the market, Hu Jin sensed they were being watched, and Lin Changāan also frowned.
"Didnāt expect us to be so cautious and still be targeted."
"No choice, although our Evil Energy isnāt bad, those with experience can still tell."
Old Hu spoke solemnly, and any cultivator hiding here could be considered a desperado.
Under sword flight, their speed was extremely fast, yet those behind them were not slow either, making Lin Changāanās idea of shaking them off futile.
However, out of caution, Lin Changāan frowned and pondered, then raised his hand to summon a Flying Boat he acquired from a female cultivator.
"Old Hu, this Flying Boat was bought in the market, and Iām afraid Iāll have to trouble you to modify it when we return."
When Lin Changāan summoned the Flying Boat, Hu Jin, after getting on, couldnāt help but show envy.
"Top-Grade Flying Boat, you really are generous, Old Lin."
"Itās for survival. If I donāt spend it, maybe one day itāll be gone."
Lin Changāan said irritably, not afraid of Old Hu finding out about the Spiritual Boat.
After all, in Heaven-Reaching Mist Seaās market, buying Spiritual Artifacts was almost unseen.
Therefore, Lin Changāan asked Old Hu to modify the appearance, which made sense.
This is also the first choice for many cultivators after buying unseen Magical Artifacts.
Itās better to avoid some misunderstandings.
"If you want me to refine a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, I donāt have the skills, but if you want me to modify its appearance, itās easy."
Old Hu confidently assured.
After switching to the Flying Boat, their speed was indeed fast.
This Flying Boat sped up drastically, reaching a new level of speed.
However, the five pursuers behind them also noticed the fleeing cultivatorsā speed.
"A big fish indeed, having even a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Boat."
"Letās not hold back. I have a Top-Grade Flying Magical Artifact, and I want an extra share of the spoils later."
"Alright!"
Behind them, the five Tribulation Cultivators, with cold smiles, one summoned a gourd Flying Magical Artifact and accelerated rapidly towards them.
...
In this chase and escape, Lin Changāan and Old Hu furrowed their brows upon the sight.
"Really persistent."
Lin Changāan and Hu Jin exchanged a glance and revealed a trace of killing intent.
Although they were Loose Cultivators, not looking for trouble usually, it didnāt mean they feared it.
Tribulation Cultivators here were all born killers, and they were no different.
"Haha, to the two Daoists ahead, leave the Storage Bag, and we shall let you leave."
A taunting voice came from behind, and one directly dove into the sea. In the next moment, a water attribute Demon Beast advanced swiftly, speed no less than the Flying Boat.
"Kill!"
Lin Changāan and Hu Jin didnāt hesitate, they countered with their killing moves.
Lin Changāan unleashed nine Tier Two Upper Grade Thunder Shock Talismans, tearing through the void, nine Thunder Spears arriving instantaneously.
This changed the complexion of the several Tribulation Cultivators behind them.
"Arrogant!"
"Leave it to me!"
Meanwhile, Old Hu fiercely unleashed a gourd, with several fire glimmering beads transforming into streamers attacking.
"Taste my Thunder Bombs!"
As an Artifact Refiner, Hu Jin usually didnāt refine such explosive Thunder Bombs; these were crafted with leftover materials and True Fire.
Extremely potent.
"Die!"
The five Tribulation Cultivators, experienced and ruthless, although experienced, because they joined forces.
Not only did they fail to exert powerful combat strength, but each wanted to save energy for the final spoils.
Fierce fighting isnāt the skill; having energy left after the battle for spoils is the key.
As Lin Changāan and Old Hu engaged with the five, they displayed strong combat strength.
Yet amidst the chaotic battle, Lin Changāan suddenly feigned attack, turning and escaping on the Flying Boat.
"Old Lin! You bastard!"
"Old Hu, sorry, but the enemy is too many."
This sudden change left Old Hu astounded, while the five Tribulation Cultivators gleefully laughed at the opportunity.
