37: C37 Meeting Ling Dong'er

C37 Meeting Ling Dong'er

Two hours later, Lin Chuan came back to the valley, but he was shocked by the sight before him.

He could not believe what had happened to the Herb Valley, because it was different from the way he left it. The surroundings were in a mess. The herbs that previously filled the Valley had also been destroyed.

"Could it have been that large demon beasts fought each other here?"

Lin Chuan took a little time to look around. The huge footprints on the ground were obviously left by demon beasts. There were many demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and there would always be fights among them, it was expected. The Herb Valley was probably destroyed by two large demon beasts.

As he looked at this scene, Lin Chuan shook his head. After all, he was an alchemist so he felt a pang of pity because the herbs had been destroyed just like that.

However, the deed was already done. Even if the herbs were destroyed, their spiritual energy would still nourish the earth. Perhaps, new herbs would grow back there in time.

Meanwhile, just as Lin Chuan was still in his thoughts, a short blade suddenly flew over from afar and was aimed directly at his head. It seemed as if someone deliberately wanted to take his life.

Lin Chuan condensed some spirit energy with his hand. The powerful spirit energy destroyed the short blade outrightly. However, Lin Chuan's expression became somewhat ugly when he was suddenly attacked.

After he had avoided the attack, no other sound came from around the Herb Valley. Lin Chuan's eyes were filled with questions. That short blade was clearly a weapon used by humans. Could it be that there was someone else in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain?

Lin Chuan clearly knew that the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain had long been controlled by the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. The entire mountain was sealed. So, other than the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, it was basically impossible for others to enter Ten Thousand Beast Mountain just from anywhere.

However, the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect could not trespass into the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain without permission, and if one entered the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain without permission, it was considered a capital offense.

While Lin Chuan was still puzzled , a shadowy figure flashed past him. At that moment, Lin Chuan snorted coldly and instantly attacked the person as the person had wanted to escape from him.

"What are you doing!" When Lin Chuan's attack met her, she cried out sharply. Lin Chuan saw a delicate and pretty face appear in front of him.

"Why are you asking me? Wasn't it you who clearly attacked me first?"

Lin Chuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him. His eyes gradually became twisted

The woman's strength was also at the Spirit Attraction realm, almost the same as Lin Chuan's, but her aura was abnormally unstable. She might have been injured or had ingested a medicinal pill to increase her cultivation level.

"I thought you were a demon beast, it took me a while before I realized that you were a human." Ling Dong'er stared at Lin Chuan, her eyes showed so much alertness.

She was worried that Lin Chuan might suddenly decide to strike her, but it wasn't in Lin Chuan's nature to take advantage of others. Rather, he wondered how Ling Dong'er had managed to enter Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

"How did you get here", Lin Chuan asked, but Ling Dong'er didn't answer him immediately. Instead, she looked at him hesitantly.

"I came to the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain to seek refuge. I'm an inner sect disciple of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. You should know about the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, right?"

Lin Chuan knew why Ling Dong'er was uneasy so, he casually took out a token from his sleeve. This token was only carried by inner sect disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect.

Of course, Ling Dong'er knew about the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, but she didn't expect Lin Chuan to be an inner sect disciple. Thus, her wariness towards Lin Chuan were immediately dispersed.

"I'm just a random cultivator. I heard that there are many demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. I came he to take one as my Indwelling demon beast."

After much thought, Ling Dong'er told Lin Chuan why she was there. After all, Lin Chuan didn't look like a bad person from his appearance.

"How did you enter the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain? This place is sealed and If you're not a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, you won't be able to enter."

"That seal is nothing. My master could easily break it!"

When Lin Chuan asked, Ling Dong'er sneered. Her response carried some trace of disdain, as though she looked down on the Ten Thousand Beast Sect's seal as if it was a mere piece of paper.

However, when Lin Chuan heard this, he felt somewhat different. Back in the sect, when Xia Ruoxue broke the sect's seal with her strength at the peak of the Spirit Attraction cultivation, it was because she was in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. The part of the seal within the sect was the weakest, and it was also the most convenient entry point.

On the other hand, if someone wanted to break the seal from outside the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, they would need to be at least at the peak of the Soul Formation realm to do so. What that meant was that, Ling Dong'er's master was at least at the peak of the Soul Formation realm.

His strength was one of the best even in the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. The Second Elder was only at the eighth level of the Soul Formation Realm yet, he couldn't even forcefully break the seal of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

Perhaps only the sect's Grand Elder or sect master could compare to Ling Dong'er's master.2

As for why Ling Dong'er's master was not with her, Lin Chuan could make a guess. The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain had demon beasts that were well above the Third Realm. Once a more powerful cultivator was there, it could triggered and cause them to break the seal. Perhaps her master was concerned about this and didn't want to take that risk, which was why he allowed her to go in by herself.

"Are your injuries as a result of your fight with some demon beasts?"

Lin Chuan chuckled. With Lin Chuan's increased spiritual sense, he only needed to carefully sense his surrounding to tell that Ling Dong'er's spiritual auras were everywhere in the Herb Valley. Also, there was just one other spiritual aura and it belonged to a demon beast.

"How do you know?" Ling Dong'er subconsciously took a few steps back. But on a second thought, Lin Chuan should have probably guessed how powerful her master was so, he would not dare to attack her.

"I'm an alchemist and I know medicine. Naturally, I can easily tell." Lin Chuan shrugged his shoulders.

"You're an alchemist? Tell me, what grade of pills can you refine?" The moment she heard that Lin Chuan was an alchemist, Ling Dong'er's eyes instantly lit up.

Before her trip, her master had given her quite a number of pills to help her in case got injured, but she had fought against some demon beasts so, she had already almost exhausted all of them. Now that an alchemist showed up, he was her hope, if she was to recover quickly from her injuries.

"Grade three." Lin Chuan said softly. Since he was able to refine the Hundred Transformations Golden Pill, he might as well be regarded as a level three alchemist.

However, the moment he said that, Ling Dong'er's eyes were filled with doubt. She did not believe that Lin Chuan was a level three alchemist. One should know that there were very few level three alchemists in the entire Greencloud Continent, and since Lin Chuan was so young, she could only barely even believe that he was a level two alchemist.

"Don't you believe me? Then let's make a bet. If I can refine a grade three pill, would you give me some spirit stones in exchange?"

Lin Chuan suddenly thought of a very good business.
