C129 This Was an Opportunity
"Unification Hall?"
The shopkeeper shook his head and smiled when he heard this, "It seems like this is the first time Young Master has come to our Dongluo City."
Lin Cheng frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
The shopkeeper said, "Young Master, there's something you don't know. Ever since Alchemist Chen from the Unification Hall disappeared for no reason two years ago, ... The Unification Hall had stopped selling high grade pill to the public. Even the herbs with better quality were no longer available to the public. Instead, they were buying medicinal herbs in large quantities. I'm afraid that Young Master's plan is going to fail."
"Oh?"
Lin Cheng could not help but be startled when he heard this. "The Unification Hall doesn't sell pill and medicinal ingredients? Oh right, you said that the alchemist of the Unification Hall went missing for no reason. What is going on? Could it be that the Unification Hall's main hall didn't send any new alchemist over?"
The shopkeeper said," It's not that the Unification Hall doesn't sell pill and herbs, it's just that the quality is very poor. Don't even think about buying a high-grade pill. Also, there are alchemists in the Unification Hall, but they are no longer concocting pills for guests like before."
Lin Cheng couldn't help but ask curiously," Why would the Unification Hall have such a change? "
The shopkeeper said, "Actually, even if I didn't mention it, young master would have surely heard about it, because the Unification Hall's main hall is recruiting alchemists. It is said that the Unification Hall will provide some outstanding alchemists with herbs to concoct pill.
However, ordinary alchemists don't have this kind of treatment. They could only purchase medicinal herbs to refine pill to prove their skill in alchemy to the Unification Hall. As a result, it was very difficult to buy medicinal herbs in the current Dongluo City. Because all these herbs have been bought by those alchemists. "
At this point, the shopkeeper shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If not for that, I wouldn't have needed to purchase medicinal herbs from Young Master."
When Lin Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Then, he smiled and nodded.
Only now did he know why the shopkeeper was unwilling to tell him. It turned out that he was worried that he would sell the medicinal herbs he had gathered to those alchemists. After all, if he could befriend an alchemist, it would be worth it even if he lost some gold coins.
"Sigh!"
The shopkeeper let out a long sigh and said, "It's a pity that I can only concoct some simple medicinal liquids even if I try my best. If I were an alchemist as well... I would also think of ways to join the Unification Hall. That would give me a chance to join the Unification Sect! "
Lin Cheng was startled for a moment, then he immediately asked, "Manager, you said that the alchemists recruited by the Unification Hall would have the chance to join the Unification Sect?"
Shopkeeper gave Lin Cheng a strange look and asked, "Don't tell me young master doesn't know that the Unification Hall is backed by the Unification Sect of the Cultivation Realm? If you are an outstanding alchemist, you will naturally have the chance to join the Unification Sect!"
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "I see. I have forgotten about this."
He knew it in his heart. The manager also didn't know about the Unification Hall's recruitment of alchemists. Of course, outstanding alchemists had the chance to join a sect. However, how could a huge sect like the Unification Hall lack alchemists? It wasn't easy to join the Unification Hall.
Besides, how many outstanding alchemists could there be in the Mortal Realm?
Lin Cheng could vaguely feel that there was another reason why the Unification Hall was recruiting alchemists.
At this moment, Lin Cheng's heart was moved. If he could join the Unification Sect... That would mean a huge amount of cultivation resources. He would be able to concoct the pill himself. He could also pick the herbs by himself, but the Heaven-earth Treasure in the Cultivation Realm was not only limited to pill and herbs. For example, it was very difficult for Lin Cheng to find the Spirit Stone by himself.
However, Lin Cheng knew that it was impossible for him to join the Unification Sect. If he killed Chen Yongwen, the Unification Hall would have already known about it. If he went to find Chen Yongwen, it would be the same as throwing himself into a trap.
"Little thief, this is an opportunity!"
As soon as they left the medicine store, Zhu Ziqiao immediately said. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Lin Cheng, "If you can join the Unification Sect, you will definitely have great achievements in the future!"
"Don't even think about joining the Unification Sect."
Lin Cheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. He said in a low voice, "It is already very fortunate that they didn't chase after me."
Zhu Ziqiao immediately knew what he meant and couldn't help but say, "Little thief, you are talking about that alchemist surnamed Chen, right? This is not a big deal as long as you perform well enough. The Unification Sect will naturally believe your explanation. Besides, they might not know that you killed them... "
Lin Cheng shook his head and said," Little girl, if this matter is so simple, then there won't be so many disputes and killings in this world. "
Indeed, just like what Zhu Ziqiao said, if his performance in alchemy was more outstanding, naturally, the Unification Sect would pay more attention to him. Compared to the ordinary Chen Yongwen who had died, one... A living high-ranked alchemist was naturally more valuable.
However, no one could guarantee that Chen Yongwen would not have any friends or senior brothers or sisters in the Unification Sect. If they knew that the person who killed Chen Yongwen was right in front of them, how could they remain indifferent?
Moreover, whether the Unification Sect would write off the matter of Chen Yongwen's death because of his outstanding alchemy skill was still unknown.
Of course, Lin Cheng also understood that it was more likely that the Unification Sect didn't know about Chen Yongwen. He was afraid that Chen Yongwen had some reputation in the Unification Hall.
However, this was only a possibility. Although Lin Cheng also wanted to join the Unification Sect, he wouldn't go there recklessly. If he fell into the trap and found out that he had fallen into the trap, it would be too late for regrets.
There was another reason why Lin Cheng didn't want to join the Unification Sect... Lin Cheng looked at Zhu Ziqiao and said with a smile, "Little girl, let's go to the inn and book a room. After a short rest, we will go to the Daluo Mountain Range."
Zhu Ziqiao hurriedly said, "Little thief, this is a rare opportunity..."
Before she could finish, Lin Cheng interrupted her with a smile, "Little girl, as long as both of us break through to the Core Sea Stage and become cultivator, any sect will welcome us to join them."
"You are daydreaming!"
Zhu Ziqiao rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "Do you think it is so easy to join a sect in Cultivation Realm? If that was the case, then where did so many rogue cultivators come from in Nine-prefecture Continent? There were also the patriarchs of those big families. Many of them were also cultivators. Many of them dreamt of joining the sect, but they were refused entry for the rest of their lives. Why isn't the sect welcoming them? "
Joining a sect was not only because of the high quality of the Cultivation Level. When the sect valued the Cultivation Level, what they valued the most was the talent and potential of the cultivator!
Just like when Dongzhou College was recruiting students, the most important thing was the student's potential. That was why after the first round of examination, there was still a need to test the compatibility of the spiritual energy.
That day, Lin Cheng was also a Chakra Stage expert, but because the Spirit-measuring Stone did not respond, he was mercilessly rejected. Even the surrounding students who also participated in the examination sneered.
For example, the patriarchs and elders of some big families. They... They were probably in their thirties or even their mid-ages. They had just stepped into the Core Sea Stage. Even if a cultivator like this were to join a sect... That's not gonna make much of a difference in his life.
Lin Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, yes, my family's girl has a lot of experience and knowledge. I am ashamed of being inferior to her!"
Zhu Ziqiao's pretty face turned slightly red and she rolled her eyes at him. "You are not serious! Who is your family's!"
Lin Cheng laughed and said, "Girl, don't worry. With me here, we will definitely be able to break through to the Core Sea Stage in no time."
"Chi!"
As soon as Lin Cheng's voice faded, a disdainful sneer came from the side, "What a big tone! Aren't you afraid that the wind will blow your tongue?"
"Haha..."
A burst of disdainful laughter was heard.
"Pill Master Gong's skill in alchemy is so outstanding, young master Gong's talent is so extraordinary, and he's only at the Ninth Level of Chakra Stage now. This brat from the wilderness, how dare he dream of becoming a cultivator?"
"He's going crazy trying to become a cultivator!"
"Hahaha..."
"Hmph!"
Zhu Ziqiao let out a cold humph. Her pretty face turned cold. She turned around and was about to scold Lin Cheng, but was stopped by Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng turned around and saw that they were not far away. There were a few young men wearing tight clothes standing in the middle. One of them was wearing a luxurious robe. He held a folding fan in his hand, looking like a graceful and elegant young master. However, there was a frivolous expression between his brows. He looked at Lin Cheng with disdain.
However, when the young man's eyes fell upon Zhu Ziqiao, his eyes suddenly lit up. His face revealed a greedy and perverted expression.
"All of you shut up!"
The young man glared and turned his head to berate the others beside him, "You don't understand etiquette!"
After that, he turned his head to look at Zhu Ziqiao and had a warm smile on his face. "Junior Sister, I'm Gong Yuanzhao. May I know how I address Junior Sister?"
Zhu Ziqiao looked at him coldly and said coldly, "Scram!"2
The expression of the young man called Gong Yuanzhao changed and immediately laughed. "Good! Junior Sister is really a person of character! However, Little Junior Sister, you're not giving face to Senior Brother like this, I'm afraid..."
Swoosh!
A cold light flashed and enveloped Gong Yuanzhao, causing his frivolous laughter to stop abruptly.
Gong Yuanzhao's facial expression changed dramatically. He could only feel that this cold light had sealed off all of his paths. Every cold light was deadly, causing his entire body to turn cold and his soul to run out of his body.
"Pa!"
A clear and loud sound was heard all of a sudden. The long blade in Lin Cheng's hand hit Gong Yuanzhao's face hard, causing him to cry out in pain. In an instant, he was sent flying and fell heavily onto the ground.
The others were shocked. They hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Young master, how are you? Are you alright?"
"Oh!"
Gong Yuanzhao's face turned pale from the pain. He opened his mouth and was about to speak when blood mixed with broken teeth flowed out. He stared at Lin Cheng with hatred and said angrily, "How dare you attack me? You are courting death! "
Lin Cheng stared at him coldly. "Get lost!"
