Chapter 615: Chapter 258 Yunling Town_2 Chapter 615: Chapter 258 Yunling Town_2 Although Lin Jing had been suppressing it with all his might, as soon as he used the Spiritual Power within his body, there would inevitably be oversights, allowing it to absorb Demonic Qi and continue to grow.

This was a discovery Lin Jing had made during this time.

Looking at the Demon Infant that had grown a bit, Lin Jing knew that for the next period, he had to avoid using Spiritual Power as much as possible.

This meant that he would seal his own Cultivation, using it all to resist the Demon Infant.

Fortunately, now that he had left the Barren Forbidden Zone and there was no need to hurry on the road, not using Spiritual Power didn’t matter much.

Moreover, he was a Body Refinement Cultivator with considerable strength.

Even if he didn’t use Spiritual Power at all, it wouldn’t be a problem.

...

Having thought this, Lin Jing subsequently hid all his Cultivation and then left the place.

…

Yunling Town was a remote mortal town near the Barren Forbidden Zone.

Due to its remote location and extremely thin Spiritual Energy, very few cultivators visited Yunling Town.

Even if a cultivator passed by, they would leave quickly.

They seldom stayed longer.

For those high-up cultivators, this was just an ordinary mortal town, no different from ants, hardly worth noting.

…

After leaving the Barren Forbidden Zone, Lin Jing sealed his own Cultivation and didn’t use any Spiritual Power as he walked through the mountains and forests.

Thus, Lin Jing walked for several days.

The variety of animals and insects in the forest gradually increased.

Even Demonic Beasts occasionally appeared.

Just as he was about to leave the forest, Lin Jing suddenly heard a roar:

“Come on…”

“I’m not afraid of you…”

The roar was somewhat immature, and by the sound of it, it was likely a young boy.

Driven by curiosity, Lin Jing headed in the direction of the sound.

As Lin Jing approached, he understood what had happened.

In front of him, two Green Wolves were surrounding a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The boy was disheveled and covered in traces of blood.

Ɲονǥօ.сο

In his hands, he held a wooden stick over a meter long, confronting the two Green Wolves.

The boy was injured…

But his eyes were fierce as he stared down the wolves, the wooden stick tightly gripped in his hands, shielded in front of him.

However, Lin Jing could see from his trembling legs that although he appeared fierce, he was actually very scared.

The two Green Wolves weren’t deterred by his demeanor and were salivating, crouching, closely watching the boy.

It seemed that they could attack at any moment.

At that moment, Lin Jing arrived.

Green Wolves, with much keener hearing and sense of smell than humans,

became alert as soon as Lin Jing arrived.

Upon seeing Lin Jing, the two Green Wolves immediately bared their teeth with a fierce look.

These two Green Wolves were not Demonic Beasts, just ordinary wild animals.

Lin Jing didn’t care and continued walking forward.

Lin Jing had already sealed his Cultivation, including hiding his own aura.

At this moment, Lin Jing appeared no different from a mortal.

Perhaps due to living in the wild and being naturally alert to danger, upon seeing Lin Jing, the two Green Wolves did not dare attack directly.

Instead, they bared their teeth, showing hostility while backing away.

Meanwhile, the boy stood there, completely stunned.

As Lin Jing gradually approached, the wolves could no longer bear it; they howled and ran away with their tails between their legs.

After the two Green Wolves fled, Lin Jing glanced at the boy and then turned to leave.

However, at that moment, the boy hurriedly called out to Lin Jing:

“This, Sir…”

“Thank you, big brother, for saving my life!”

Lin Jing looked back at him and replied,

“You’re injured and the smell of blood lingers.

It’s best to leave quickly; otherwise, it’s easy to attract other wild animals.”

With that, Lin Jing simply turned and left.

The boy wanted to say something but realized that Lin Jing had already disappeared.

He suddenly understood that he had encountered an ‘Immortal’…

He looked in the direction Lin Jing had left, his eyes filled with reverence…

…

For Lin Jing, this was just a small event and he didn’t dwell on it.

He continued on his way and soon left the dense forest.

After exiting the forest, Lin Jing saw the first human town he came across.

Since he was passing by, he certainly wanted to take a look and gather some information.

It had been four months since the ancestor of Nanming Immortal Sect had chased him.

Lin Jing wondered if there had been any news from the Nanming Immortal Sect about their ancestor’s death.

Then, Lin Jing headed towards the town.

This town was called Yunling Town.

Lin Jing only realized after arriving that this was merely a mortal town.

In this mortal town, there were no cultivators at all, and without any cultivators, Lin Jing naturally couldn’t gather any information.

Subsequently, Lin Jing took a stroll around the town and then planned to leave.

But just at that moment, Lin Jing unexpectedly encountered that young man again.

The young man, seeing Lin Jing, was very excited.

“Immortal…”

“I didn’t expect you to be here.”

Lin Jing nodded and casually said,

“Just wandering around…”

The young man continued,

“Immortal…”

“My home is in Yunling Town.

Why don’t you come back with me?

I would properly host you as a way to repay you for saving my life.”

Lin Jing intended to refuse, but seeing the sincerity in the young man’s eyes, he eventually nodded.

“Alright…”

The young man immediately became excited:

“Immortal…”

“Please follow me…”

Speaking, the young man led the way in front, guiding Lin Jing deeper into the town.

Along the way, the young man told Lin Jing a lot.

Lin Jing also learned that this young man was named Shi Shan, and he always lived with his grandfather.

The two of them continued through the town to its outskirts.

“Immortal…”

“My grandfather likes being alone and dislikes bustling places, so he took me to live on the mountain outside the town.”

Speaking, Shi San pointed directly to a house on the slope:

“That one…”

Lin Jing nodded.

Then, the two of them walked up toward the slope.

Just as they ascended, an old man with white hair and beard came out from the house.

Seeing the elder, Shi San hurriedly ran over:

“Grandfather…”

“I’m back!”

The elder glanced at Shi San and then spoke,

“Have you been mischievous again?

Look at you, you’re injured again…”

After speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle from his robe and handed it to Shi San, adding,

“Apply the medicine yourself later…”

Shi San took the porcelain bottle, nodding repeatedly.

Then, he introduced Lin Jing,

“Grandfather…”

“This Immortal is my life-saving benefactor.

Today, when I was in the mountains, I was attacked by Green Wolves.

If not for this Immortal’s rescue, I might not have been able to see you again.”

After finishing, Shi San then introduced to Lin Jing,

“Immortal…”

“This is my grandfather.”

Shi San’s grandfather looked at Lin Jing, sized him up for a while, then said to Shi San,

“Go…”

“You go inside and apply the medicine yourself.”

Shi San nodded, informed Lin Jing with a nod, and then went into the house.

At this moment, only Lin Jing and Shi San’s grandfather were left outside.

It was then that a Divine Sense message transmitted into Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness:

“Fellow Daoist…”

“I see that you are enveloped in dense Demonic Qi, but you don’t seem like a Demon Cultivator.

May I inquire the reason for this?”

Lin Jing was startled and hastily started scrutinizing Shi San’s grandfather opposite him.

However, to Lin Jing’s shock,

no matter how he looked, this Shi San’s grandfather appeared to be a mortal without any cultivation.

Clearly, this man had also hidden his cultivation.

As Lin Jing was puzzled, that Divine Sense message came again:

“Fellow Daoist, don’t be surprised.”

“My cultivation is much higher than yours, so you cannot discern my cultivation level.”

After hearing this, Lin Jing then reacted, cupped his hands, and transmitted back to Shi San’s grandfather:

“So it turns out you are a senior, my apologies…”
