Chapter 164 Don't Delay My Business
The shorter Foundation Establishment cultivator was indeed cautious. He did not attack with all his might. When he saw the flash of red light, he quickly dodged and retreated.
But he underestimated Zhong Lingxin's explosive talisman.
He originally thought that a mere cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Refining would be lucky to have a second-grade explosive talisman.
Little did anyone know that Zhong Lingxin, aiming for a fatal blow, directly used a third-grade explosive talisman.
After a huge explosion, only Zhong Lingxin was standing by the stream. One of the two Foundation Establishment cultivators was blown to pieces by the explosion, and the other died on the ground from poisoning.
Zhong Lingxin raised her hand, and two flames flew out, quickly burning the two Foundation Establishment cultivators to ashes.
Then, she picked up one of the identity plaques, transformed into one of them, and, imitating the way that person walked, quickly returned to the city.
Upon entering the city, Zhong Lingxin didn't rush to use the teleportation array. Instead, she set up a stall to process some spiritual herbs she had gathered on Lingyun Peak and listen to news about the Lingyun Sect.
On the other hand, she was also afraid that the old monster who planted spiritual herbs in the cave basin would track down the cultivators who entered and exited Lingyun Peak, so it was better to keep quiet for now.
She soon realized that she was right. All checks on people entering and leaving the city were tightened, and those leaving the city by teleportation array were checked even more strictly.
Fortunately, the Foundation Establishment cultivator she transformed into was a local resident, so she wasn't questioned and was able to stay in the city smoothly for three months.
During those three months, Zhong Lingxin heard too many rumors about the Lingyun Sect and saw too many Lingyun Sect disciples coming and going in the city.
Lingyun Sect has been experiencing a series of misfortunes lately, so the junior disciples have lost their former high spirits and all seem somewhat pessimistic.
During this period, two more affiliated cultivation cities of the Lingyun Sect were attacked by evil cultivators; both were under the control of the Ye family.
One of them, relying on the city's protective formation, barely withstood the attack of the evil cultivators and waited for rescue. Even so, the city suffered heavy losses; the warehouses were looted, the spiritual vein beneath the city was destroyed, and the entire city was severely lacking in spiritual energy, forcing many residents to relocate.
The other cultivation city fared even worse; the entire city was massacred.
According to the evil cultivator who massacred the city, he came to seek revenge. Back then, the Ye family slaughtered his entire family, and now he wanted to kill every last member of the Ye family.
It is said that the ancestor of the Ye family was so angry that he vomited blood in the back mountain.
But even though he vomited blood, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't get out, and the Mahayana cultivators of the Ye family didn't dare to go out either.
In addition, the major families of Lingyun Sect were all in a state of fear, worried that their own families would be attacked by evil cultivators.
It is said that their family keeps the defensive array at its highest level day and night, wasting spirit stones with a loud clatter!
Zhong Lingxin smiled. It turned out that the strict checks in Lingyun City weren't entirely because of the spiritual herbs in the cave basin.
Actually, Feng Yuyang was thinking that some powerful cultivators were taking advantage of the fact that the ancestors of Lingyun Sect couldn't leave the sect to come and rob their resources. The formation in his cave basin was made by Feng Wanli, and ordinary people simply couldn't open it.
Little did he know the intricacies of the Qingyang Venerable Saint's formation, which could break another formation with another.
After Zhong Lingxin stayed in Lingyun City for several days, news spread that the city lord of Feiyun City, which is not far from Lingyun City, had remarried and was holding an exhibition. Many cultivators rushed there to try and acquire some of their resources.
Zhong Lingxin bought some local specialties from Lingyun City and, along with several cultivators, also came to Feiyun City.
Feiyun City is much smaller than Lingyun City.
Perhaps it was because the city lord had found a new partner, but the city was very clean, and many shops had pots of fresh flowers displayed in front of them.
When the residents of the city talked about the city lord's new wife, everyone spoke highly of her. They all said that the new city lord's wife was much better than the old city lord's wife. She was beautiful and kind-hearted. As soon as she arrived, she brought new business opportunities to the city. She developed Wanlv Lake in the city, set up a huge spirit-gathering array, and turned Wanlv Lake into a good place for sightseeing and renting.
Those cultivators with water or wood spiritual roots can rent a cave dwelling at Wanlv Lake to cultivate, which is the most cost-effective option.
Zhong Lingxin outwardly displays the Golden Spiritual Root and is not interested in renting a cave dwelling, but is extremely interested in that exhibition.
When she arrived at the exhibition, most of the booths had already been rented out. She looked around but couldn't find a good booth. However, she did manage to buy quite a few fourth- or fifth-grade spiritual herbs and seeds.
The exhibition was strictly managed, with guards constantly patrolling back and forth.
Even so, it is common to see cultivators arguing and fighting.
As Zhong Lingxin was walking, a piece of ore flew towards her and nearly hit her on the head. A rough male voice was shouting, "Damn it, so what if I asked the price? I asked and I'm not buying, what are you going to do about it!"
A short, thin male cultivator rushed over, snatched the ore that had almost hit Zhong Lingxin, and angrily retorted, "If you're not going to buy it, then get the hell out of here and don't delay my business."
The two men quickly came to blows during their conversation.
The short, thin male cultivator grabbed the stall from the ground and threw a punch at the burly male cultivator.
The burly male cultivator swung his fist, as big as a bowl, and slammed it hard against the short, thin male cultivator's fist.
Their fists collided, unleashing a tremendous roar, and both male cultivators simultaneously took a step back.
The two shouted in unison, "Again!"
Those around them realized that these two were both body cultivators!
Perhaps it was because the two body cultivators were fighting so fiercely that the people setting up stalls around them were affected, and several cultivators' stalls were overturned by the two of them.
Seeing that things were going badly, many stall owners hurriedly packed up their goods.
Even so, two stalls were still overturned, and the items on the stalls rolled everywhere, with many of them being picked up by the surrounding cultivators.
The two cultivators who were setting up stalls got fed up and joined the fray, demanding compensation from the two body cultivators.
Soon, more cultivators were caught in the crossfire because they couldn't pack up their stalls in time.
The battle intensifies.
A piece of black ore fell in front of Zhong Lingxin.
A cultivator rushed forward to pick it up, but unintentionally pushed Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin dodged, but the cultivator standing behind her was caught off guard and was pushed straight back, causing a group of people behind him to stumble and fall.
A cultivator suddenly shouted, "Ouch! My storage bag! Damn it, who tore my storage bag?"
Another cultivator shouted, "Thief! Thief! My storage bag has been ripped off too! Ouch, my head hurts so much!"
Screams erupted one after another as many cultivators cried out that their storage bags had been snatched away and their divine senses erased.
Zhong Lingxin also felt a hand touch her waist. She pressed down and grabbed the hand, breaking the thumb of the hand with a slight twist.
A piercing scream rang out, and all the screams that followed stopped as everyone scattered and dodged to avoid the sound.
A thin male cultivator was seen grabbing another male cultivator's right hand, twisting him backwards, and stomping him on the ground.
