After flying for a few more days, the number of mortals on the ground gradually decreased, and the scenery became more and more desolate, as if it were a remote and poor place.

Two days later, Wang Lin landed his magic weapon in Falcon Cloud Town and slowly walked into the town along the dirt road.

The town is rather simple and small in size.

There are only three or four crisscrossing streets, and most of the houses are made of yellow mud and wooden strips, looking dirty, messy and disorderly.

Wang Lin frowned slightly and walked on the dirt road in the town, looking left and right from time to time.

At this bone-chilling moment, Wang Lin, dressed in a thin Confucian robe, stood out particularly.

However, the mortals around who were dressed in heavy fur coats turned a blind eye to this and showed no surprise on their faces.

When Wang Lin was pondering in confusion, his expression suddenly changed.

I saw two young men in white robes walking towards me, one tall and one short, with steady steps.

The two men were very young, around twenty years old, but spiritual energy was surging around them, and they were obviously cultivators at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

They looked at Wang Lin with surprise on their faces, and stopped about three or four feet away from Wang Lin.

The tall, thin young man suddenly bowed respectfully to Wang Lin and asked:
“May I ask your name, Senior? Are you here to attend the King of Tribes Conference?”

“Attending the King’s Conference? Never heard of it.”

Wang Lin raised his eyebrows, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

It seems that the time I came is just right.

With this in mind, Wang Lin glanced at the man in white robe and said, “I just heard that there are abundant spiritual herbs here, so I came here to look for spiritual medicine.”

“I see.”

The young man in white robe suddenly said:

“The King of Ginseng Conference started yesterday. If you were interested in participating, you should have already gone to Xueling Mountain. It seems that you did pass by here.”

Another short monk came up at this moment, smiling and flattering:

“It’s okay. Senior, you can still come now. This event is jointly organized by several major families in Jiangning.”

“There are not only many spiritual medicines available for purchase at the auction, but also more than a dozen precious spiritual medicines that are hundreds of years old and a thousand-year-old wild ginseng king for auction.”

“At present, the event is only halfway through, and the final auction has not yet begun.”

Wang Lin pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but think of the identities of the several families he knew.

“These three families, could they be the Kong, Zhao, and Dong families?”

“Exactly.”

The thin man’s eyes lit up and he quickly replied:

“We two are disciples of the Kong family, and we are here specially to receive the seniors who came here after hearing the news.”

“I originally thought that no more guests would come at this time, and was preparing to go to the event, but I didn’t expect to meet you, Senior.”

Wang Lin did not accept the invitation from the two, but pointed to the distance and asked:

“Is this town now under the jurisdiction of your Kong family?”

“You are so perceptive, Senior. This town has been jointly owned by the three of us five or six years ago.”

“The residents of this town are all mortals from outside our three families.”

“That’s why they are not afraid of us cultivators,” the tall young man explained.

“I see.”

Wang Lin pondered for a moment and touched his chin.

“In that case, you guys lead the way.”

After hearing Wang Lin’s reply, the two looked at each other, seeing the joy in each other’s eyes, and said quickly:
“That’s great. I am willing to lead the way for you, senior.”

The two men each took out a disc-shaped magical weapon, threw it into the air, and jumped up.

Wang Lin casually threw out a shining flying sword, and with a flash of his body, he stood firmly on the flying sword.

“The sword you hold is a high-level flying sword. Could it be that you are an inner disciple from a large sect who came here to train?”

“Otherwise, this kind of high-quality magical instrument is not something that ordinary disciples can obtain as a reward from their master.”

The tall young man caught a glimpse of Wang Lin’s flying sword and was surprised.

The short young man standing nearby also showed his envy.

The flying sword that seemed precious to the two was actually the cheapest magic weapon in Wang Lin’s hand.

Wang Lin remained silent, which made the two of them laugh awkwardly for a moment.

However, due to Wang Lin’s powerful cultivation, the two of them could not say anything and could only lead the way.

Afterwards, the three of them flew into the air using their magic weapons, and rushed towards the southern part of the town.

Xueling Mountain is not far from the town, and its continuous mountain peaks can be vaguely seen from the town.

In fact, it should be called “Xueling Mountains”. This mountain range stretches for thousands of miles and is one of the few large mountain ranges in Liaozhou.

It is said that there are demons and monsters lurking in the depths of the mountains, and even cultivators with high levels of cultivation may disappear inexplicably in the mountains.

The relatives, friends and teachers of the missing monks searched most of the mountain range but found nothing. After that, monks continued to disappear in the mountains from time to time.

However, not all passers-by would disappear, and most of them were low-level cultivators from Liaozhou, who were safe and sound outside the mountains.

After being warned and admonished, local monks no longer went deep into the mountain, disappearances became rare, and no one investigated the abnormalities deep in the mountains.

The King of Ginseng Conference held by the three great families of Jiangning was naturally not held deep in the mountains, but on a tall mountain at the outermost edge close to the direction of the town.

Wang Lin looked down at the top of the mountain from the air and saw a magnificent group of pavilions and towers standing there.

His eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately noticed that these buildings were unusually new and obviously built recently. A thoughtful look appeared on his face.

“The senior has arrived. This is the place.”

“All the Foundation Establishment cultivators will be assigned separate rooms, and the seniors above the Core Formation stage will be arranged in independent attics to ensure that everyone can rest well.”

The tall young man pointed downwards and introduced, with a hint of flattery in his tone.

Wang Lin nodded and said nothing more. He quietly released his spiritual sense and gently explored the surroundings.

Frowning slightly, he sensed the presence of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

This person might be a monk who came to attend the meeting, or he might be the old monster Kong mentioned by Feng Zhen before his death.

The strength of the Dajin family should not be underestimated.

You should know that the highest level of cultivation among the Tiannan Immortal Cultivation Family is only in the middle and late stages of the Jindan stage, and it is even more difficult to cultivate a Yuanying-level cultivator.

The aura of the Nascent Soul cultivator faintly revealed a hint of corpse qi, although this aura was extremely weak and was cleverly concealed.

But with his spiritual power far exceeding that of the other party, Wang Lin still noticed this slight abnormality.

“It seems to be this person.”

Wang Lin touched his chin and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

If I remember correctly, it seems that there will be a corpse king being designed.

The corpse bead in his hand is a rare treasure.

For those who practice physical training, it is of great value.

After all, after obtaining the relic, I will have to practice the Ming Wang Jue.

If I could get that bead, it would also speed up my progress in the Ming Wang Jue.

Let its cultivation speed be on par with his other two physical training techniques.

While Wang Lin was pondering in his heart, he had already arrived at the gate of the manor with the other two.

In an instant, four monks in blue robes walked out of the gate and greeted them respectfully.

……

At the same time, more than twenty feet below the ground, there is a secret room.

In this dim secret room, a jet-black coffin was quietly placed. Suddenly, the lid of the coffin moved slightly, and then a white jade-like hand slowly stretched out from the gap.

The palm seemed weak, but it contained an inexplicable power. With a slight push, the lid of the coffin was pushed open.

A man wearing a jade crown and a yellow robe suddenly sat up from the coffin.

The man was in his thirties, with an extraordinary appearance and a hint of doubt on his face.

“I suddenly became alert just now. Could it be that someone is secretly spying on us?”

The man muttered to himself, and after a moment’s hesitation, he cautiously released his spiritual sense to carefully search the entire mountain.

Especially the monks in the manor were the focus of investigation.

However, after searching for a while, he did not find any trace of other Nascent Soul cultivators, and he could not help but frown and fall into deep thought.

“Perhaps it’s just an old friend who passed by here and happened to check it out. With this black jade coffin covering up my corpse aura, it shouldn’t arouse his suspicion.”

The man in the jade crown pondered secretly, then lay back in the coffin again. The lid closed automatically, and the secret room returned to peace.

On the ground, Wang Lin had been led by a blue-robed monk to a vast square in the center of the manor.

In the square, monks in various costumes were bustling around, there were as many as five or six hundred of them.

These monks were divided into several areas, where they gathered together to discuss important matters or exchange items.

The square is surrounded by stalls of various sizes, some are placed on tables, and some are directly on the ground, presenting a prosperous scene.

Wang Lin smiled knowingly, and his thoughts drifted back to the days when he first entered the world of immortal cultivation.

Especially the scene when participating in the Tainan meeting.

Looking back on that time now, I feel filled with emotion.

At this moment, a huge tent was set up in the center of the square.

There was a white light shining on it, and it must be a magical instrument.

Wang Lin looked into the distance, at the tent that was over a hundred feet wide. There were people coming and going in it, and it was very lively.

On both sides of the square, there stands a bluestone palace, also emitting spiritual light.

Although there were monastic activities in the temple, there were very few people here compared to the busy scene in the square and outside the central tent.

Some monks were wandering at the entrance of the temple or discussing something in low voices.

Most of the cultivators present were at the Foundation Establishment stage or above, and there were even more than ten Core Formation stage masters.

With this scale, except for the lack of Nascent Soul cultivators, it is almost comparable to the first-rate sects in the Tiannan region.

However, this was merely a trade fair held by some aristocratic families in the Dajin region.

Looking at the scene before him, Wang Lin couldn’t help but sigh: “Compared with Tiannan, Dajin can be regarded as a true holy land for cultivation.”

Early in the morning, Wang Lin stepped into the bustling trading square.

Although as a newly joined Foundation Establishment cultivator, his face still seemed unfamiliar, but in this busy place, no one paid special attention to him.

The square is lined with stalls, displaying a wide variety of magical instruments and treasures.

However, for Wang Lin, who had seen countless rare materials, these ordinary objects really did not arouse his interest.

Only those magical instruments and materials with strange appearance and unknown origin can attract his attention.

After careful inspection, he found that most of them were recognizable, but the rest, although he had never seen them before, were not worth further exploration.

After strolling around for a while, Wang Lin didn’t gain anything valuable.

Just as he was about to head to the central tent to check out the items the sect had for sale, his eyes suddenly lit up.

“found it!”

Wang Lin’s figure shook, and soon his eyes turned to an old man with a pointed chin and monkey face.

The old man’s cultivation was only at the initial stage of foundation building, and a faint smell of corpse emanated from his body.

“This fellow Taoist seems to have been following me for some time. I wonder if you know Mr. Wang?”

A hint of coldness flashed in Wang Lin’s eyes, and he asked coldly.

Seeing Wang Lin coming forward.

The old man was startled, and then a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Then he explained:
“You misunderstood, fellow Daoist. Jin Yuan has no ill intentions. He is just curious about you.”

Wang Lin was unmoved:
“Oh? It seems that you are a thoughtful person. But you have been following me for so long, so it should not be just to express these things, right?”

The old man smiled slightly and said bluntly: “Daoyou really understand. In addition to curiosity, I do have something to ask of you.”

“What’s the matter? Tell me!”

Wang Lin folded his arms and responded expressionlessly.

“Jin is holding a mysterious treasure, the origin and purpose of which are still unclear. I would like to invite you to come and identify it.”

“If you know the treasure and are interested, I can give it to you.”

“I believe that with your financial resources, you can afford the price of this treasure.”

Having said that, Jin Yuan’s eyes swept over the spirit beast bag and storage bag on Wang Lin’s waist.

With so many spirit beast bags and storage bags in his hands, it can be seen that Wang Lin is wealthy and is not an ordinary cultivator.

“Well, since you have followed me all the way, I believe you are sincere.”

Wang Lin took advantage of the situation and replied directly: “It’s okay for me to take a look. How about we find a secret room to discuss it in detail?”

It seems a bit extravagant to pay a spirit stone to enter the secret room.

Jin Yuan laughed dryly and said with a hint of pride in his tone:

“Don’t worry, fellow Daoist. I went through great dangers to obtain this item. It is definitely not an ordinary item.”

Wang Lin nodded slightly, without saying anything more, and immediately led the old man to a hall on the side.

As you step into the palace, what comes into view is a huge hall that is dozens of feet wide and empty.

There was only a middle-aged woman in the Foundation Establishment Stage, dressed in green, sitting on the cushion in the center with her eyes closed in meditation.

Noticing the arrival of Wang Lin and the old man, she immediately opened her eyes and slowly stood up.

“My two Taoist friends, are you here to see the secret techniques and spells stored in this temple, or do you need a secret room to exchange your cultivation experiences with others?”

The woman glanced at the two of them and asked with a smile.

“Just arrange a secret room for the two of us.”

Wang Lin casually handed a spirit stone to the woman.

The middle-aged woman picked up the spirit stone and a smile appeared on her face.

Then he put his right hand on his waist.

A miniature stone house several inches in size appeared in his hand.

Secret house.

It can be considered a high-end storage bag.

It is extremely convenient and can be enlarged and used simply by injecting spiritual energy.

The low-level Tianji House has limited functions and can only be enlarged and reduced. It is a bit far-fetched to call it a magical tool.

The high-level Tianji House comes with formations and restrictions, and can even be compared to magic weapons.

The two of them have walked into the side hall.

There were five or six stone houses arranged in an orderly manner inside the hall.

Each one is exactly the same as the miniature house in Wang Lin’s hand after being enlarged, and the surface is shining with soft white light.

Wang Lin’s mind moved, and he tried to use his spiritual sense to detect one of the stone houses. (End of this chapter)
