Lin Changâsheng swept his Divine Sense over the Storage Bag, and immediately raised his eyebrows.
This horse-faced young man is loaded!
There are over forty Spirit Stones in the Storage Bag!
And three bottles of Qi Condensing Pills!
A crystalline bone club as thick as a bowlâno idea what bone that isâplus some materials, medicinal herbs, two registers, and even a shield!
"Changâsheng! Itâs you!"
A delighted voice rang out beside him.
Lin Changâsheng withdrew his Divine Sense and looked at the woman who spoke.
"Youâve saved me again!"
Yu Wenjing sprang off her horse and walked up to Lin Changâsheng, her beautiful eyes shining with excitement as she murmured.
"What a coincidence!"
Lin Changâsheng smiled faintly. "I was just passing through by chanceânever expected to run into you guys!"
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving our lives!"
"Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving our lives!"
"......."
At this, Jin Wuque led nearly a thousand troops, all cupping their fists in unison to Lin Changâsheng, respectfully expressing their thanks.
"No need to be so formal!"
Lin Changâsheng waved dismissively at Jin Wuque and the many soldiers. He had seen Jin Wuque at the Mu City residence before.
"Your Highness, with Immortal Masterâs help, we slew the Southern Barbarian Immortal Master! Please stay with him, Iâll go rally the troops and retake Celestial Dragon City!"
Jin Wuque looked at Lin Changâsheng with deep admiration in his eyes, then cupped his hands to Yu Wenjing in salute.
"Mm, go ahead!"
Yu Wenjing glanced at Lin Changâsheng, nodding to Jin Wuque.
Jin Wuque looked at Lin Changâsheng again, got a nod from Lin Changâsheng, then waved to the nearly thousand soldiers by his side. "Comrades, the Southern Barbarian Immortal Master is dead, thereâs nothing left to fear. Come with meâletâs fight our way back and reclaim Celestial Dragon City!"
With that, he took the corpse of the horse-faced Immortal Master and led the troops toward Celestial Dragon City.
"Changâsheng, you saved Great Yu! If Celestial Dragon City had fallen, the Southern Barbarian army would have swept right inâthe consequences would be unimaginable!"
Yu Wenjing glanced at Lin Changâsheng, gratitude glowing in her eyes, and said.
"I used the Cloud-Piercing Bow to shoot down that Peak Qi Refining Third Layer guyâso itâs like you saved Great Yu yourself!"
Lin Changâsheng smiled faintly.
"The Divine Bow is a gift for a hero. Your archery skills are incredible; only in your hands can the bow reach its full potential!"
Yu Wenjing softly brushed the hair from her forehead, gazed at Lin Changâsheng, her eyes sparkling. "Changâsheng, I canât believe you were able to slay the Southern Barbarian Immortal Master and become a cultivator!"
"I just stumbled upon a Cultivation Immortality Technique and started training randomly. Thatâs how it happened."
Lin Changâsheng said modestly.
"By the way, Changâsheng, youâre able to cultivate magical power as a cultivator, so your Spirit Root must be pretty good. Why didnât you join the Liuyun Immortal Sect when they were recruiting disciples? If you got into an Immortal Sect, your cultivation path would go so much smoother!"
Yu Wenjingâs eyes flashed as she asked.
"Actually, I joined the Liuyun Immortal Sect, but along the way, our flying boat was ambushed by the Celestial Demon Sectâs demon cultivators. Two elder martial uncles let us off to hold off the enemy, told us to scatter and escape. I ran for ten days and ended up hereâwho wouldâve thought Iâd end up killing that Southern Barbarian cultivator by chance."
Lin Changâsheng gave a wry smile as he spoke.
"So thatâs how it was. Then youâll have to return to Liuyun Immortal Sect eventually. How about this: In the Yu City Imperial Palace Treasure Vault, Iâve seen a route map to Liuyun Immortal Sect. Why donât you come with me to Celestial Dragon City, and Iâll draw it out for you?"
"This way, youâll have some direction when heading back?"
Yu Wenjing thought for a moment before speaking.
"Thereâs a route map to Liuyun Immortal Sect? That would be great!"
Lin Changâshengâs eyes lit up when he heard that.
No matter what, he still had to return to Liuyun Immortal Sect to get more cultivation techniques and spirit stones. Having a map was way better than stumbling around blindly.
"This map was hand-drawn by our Great Yu ancestor years agoâitâs just really far......"
Yu Wenjing said.
"Then letâs goâfirst, to Celestial Dragon City. You can draw the map for me."
Lin Changâshengâs eyes sparkled. "Letâs do it."
"Mm!"
Yu Wenjing nodded, and the two of them set off toward Celestial Dragon City. Her speed was too slow, so Lin Changâsheng swept her up with a burst of magical power, unleashed the Wind God Leg, and shot forward like lightning.
........
The Southern Barbarians, led by their Immortal Master, burned open the city gates with the Fireball Technique, then charged in with their steel cavalry and seized Celestial Dragon City.
Jin Wuque returned with the Immortal Masterâs corpse, gathered up the Great Yu soldiers who had retreated from the cityâover forty thousand totalâand renewed their assault to retake the city. With the Southern Barbarian Immortal Master dead, their morale collapsed. Right then, Lin Changâsheng arrived with Yu Wenjing.
Lin Changâsheng, with the Little White Fox on his back, unleashed his Body Technique and loosed arrow after arrow, each shot killing a Southern Barbarian general!
Jin Wuque led forty thousand troops to charge into the city, regaining control over Celestial Dragon City. Dozens of Southern Barbarian generals were shot dead, and the rest fled in panic, trampling each other, tossing their armor, casualties everywhere!
Jin Wuque led ten thousand men in pursuit. The Southern Barbarians were terrified, and fled with over a thousand cavalry into the southern wilderness.
.......
The moonlight was like water.
Celestial Dragon City, City Lordâs Mansion.
Lin Changâsheng sat in a side hall, rubbing his left hand over his body, holding a Long Saber in his right. It was the magical artifact seized today from the Peak Qi Refining Third Layer cultivator.
The saberâs shape was identical to Dawn.
Just a bit heavier.
The edge exuded a terrifying sharpness!
"This blade suits me perfectly. When I use Thunderous Slash, its power will multiply!"
Lin Changâsheng caressed the saber in his hand, muttered, "This saber was won by slaying a cultivator. Iâll call it the Immortal Slaying Saber! Someday, this blade will drink endless immortal blood!"
Lin Changâsheng took out the Spirit Stones in the Storage Bag and counted themâforty-three in total!
Three bottles of Qi Condensing Pills, three pills per bottle. Thatâs nine pills!
Demon Beast materials and medicinal herbsâno need to go into those.
The two registers: One is Fireball Technique, and the other is Blazing Fire Technique. The Blazing Fire Technique can apparently be cultivated up to the Qi Refining Sixth Layer, far better than Lin Changâshengâs previous Fire Element Technique.
