Chapter 93: Chapter 78 Going to Golden Sword Peak (Two in One)_l

“Zhi Ling is really amazing; she entered the Inner Sect faster than I did.” Lin Yi said with a smile, petting Zhi Ling’s little head. He had heard from Li Yuan Qing that Zhi Ling was brought back by his master, Gold Sword Zen Ren. This showed that Gold Sword Zen Ren was highly skilled and had impressive foresight.
However, he didn’t understand why he handed Zhi Ling over to Li Yuan Qing to raise instead of the more suitable Zhou Yun Feng. He guessed that it might have been to help Li Yuan Qing curb some of his ruthless aura by looking after a pet.
That said, Li Yuan Qing had chosen to bring Zhi Ling to the Outer Sect Street to sell, presumably because he was driven up the wall by her antics.
He thought that if it weren’t for a task assigned by his master Gold Sword Zen Ren, with his personality, Zhi Ling might not survive even a single day.
The Inner Sect Disciples nearby, seeing Lin Yi’s landscape watching stance, couldn’t help but share knowing smiles. When they first arrived, they too were just as awestruck and irresistibly drawn to the view.
“Junior Brother, is this your first time entering the Inner Sect?” Just as Lin Yi was admiring the view, a voice next to him inquired.
Lin Yi turned and saw a chubby young man with a friendly smile on his round face.
He activated his Spirit Wood Technique, and noticing that the man was at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer, greeted him vigilantly, “Senior brother, indeed it is my first time entering the Inner Sect.”
The chubby young man also returned his greeting, “Junior Brother is too prudent. My name is Zhang Wei Hu. May I know your honorable name?” Lin Yi immediately responded with, “So, you are Brother Zhang. I am Lin Yi.”
“You… you’re that Lin Yi who entered the Inner Sect through farming?” Zhang Wei Hu exclaimed in surprise.
After noticing the unusual stares from the surrounding people, he quickly pulled Lin Yi aside, “I apologize for the ignorance. Junior Brother entered the Inner Sect directly from being an Outer Sect Spirit Farmer, which is quite commendable.”
“Brother Zhang is being too kind. I was just lucky. Is there any reason Brother Zhang is seeking me?” Lin Yi said with a smile.
Zhang Wei Hu glanced around and whispered, “Junior Brother Lin, the scenery in the Inner Sect is incredible. Do you want to take a tour for the first time? It costs only four Spirit Stones to travel around, which is cheaper than using the Ferrying Ritual Instrument.”
Lin Yi immediately understood what was happening – this was a black-market transport driver. He didn’t expect Inner Sect Disciples to participate in such activities, proving that earning resources was a struggle even within the sect.
He shook his head and refused, “Brother Zhang, I really would love to enjoy the scenic views of the Inner Sect, but I’m in a rush to reach Golden Sword Peak to imprint my Divine Soul Mark and formally join the Inner Sect. Maybe another time.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of envy appeared on Zhang Wei Hu’s face. “So Junior
Brother is indeed joining the Golden Sword Peak, where Hall Master Zhou Yun Feng resides. It’s fine; I’m also passing by Golden Sword Peak and can drop you there.”
“How about half a Spirit Stone? If you use a Ferrying Ritual Instrument, it’ll cost one Spirit Stone. We’re just waiting for you to depart.”
Lin Yi was reminded of the last time Li Yuan Qing paid with Spirit Stones and realized that this was indeed half the price. However, he couldn’t help but feel suspicious about the claim that they were only waiting for him.
This was similar to what many illegal taxi drivers used to say on Earth, only to find out later that he was the only passenger.
“Brother Zhang, I’m really pressed for time. I’ll join your tour next time.” After some thought, he decided to decline.
“I promise we really are only waiting for you. If we don’t leave, I will jump off this Cloud Attraction Platform.” Zhang Wei Hu pledged seriously.
Thus, Lin Yi had no choice but to agree. He followed Zhang Wei Hu to a secluded area of the Cloud Attraction Platform, and as expected, saw over a dozen people waiting impatiently there. One person complained, “Brother
Zhang, are we leaving soon or not? You’re still bringing people in. Can your magic artifact hold this many people?”
This sight made Lin Yi chuckle. It was reminiscent of a scene from Earth – not all Inner Sect Disciples lived a life of luxury. They too had to save resources.
After all, not every cultivator was able to rapidly upgrade their skill set and earn resources like he could due to his ‘Golden Finger’ advantage.
He scanned the crowd with his Spirit Wood Technique and found that they were all below the Qi Refining Seventh Layer. They would have been respected in the Outer Sect, but here in the Inner Sect, they were very ordinary.
“Thank you all for waiting, let’s depart now,” Zhang Wei Hu said with a grin. He then pulled out his flying artifact from his storage bag – a white flying boat that looked a bit worn and even had patches on it.
“Brother Zhang, your flying boat isn’t going to fall from the sky, right? It looks kinda old,” one female disciple said with doubt.
Zhang Wei Hu patted his chest reassuringly, “Don’t worry, I’m the owner of the flying boat. I know it best. Everybody, please get on.”
Looking at the flying boat, Lin Yi hesitated – if it broke down halfway, this so-called black-market taxi could end up becoming a hearse.
Consequently, he purposely stood at the back. Seeing the flying boat filling up, he hurriedly said, “Brother Zhang, it seems to be full. Maybe I should wait for the next ride.”
“There’s still a bit of space, just squeeze a little. Junior Brother, please move aside a bit,” Zhang Wei Hu gestured to the others to move inwards, igniting a whirl of complaints.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “Please, everyone, understand, it’s only half the price. Every bit of saving helps in cultivation. Come, Junior Brother Lin, take a seat.’
As Lin Yi sat on the artifact, it made a creaking sound that made everyone uneasy. Nearly twenty people were crammed onto this small artifact..
