Chapter 798 - 272: Seclusion
...
Wuling City.
Splash~~
A gentle breeze blew by, causing ripples of golden waves on the river surface.
In a simple courtyard by the river, Lin Zheyu pushed the door open and entered.
This was a small courtyard he had previously bought, located by the riverside with a pleasant view.
"I’ll find someone to clean it up and live here from now on."
Lin Zheyu glanced around at the dusty courtyard and said to himself.
He waved his hand casually, and the True Essence within him surged out, transforming into a gust of wind that swept away, causing the fallen leaves on the ground to fly to the corner of the courtyard.
This was a technique of applying True Essence, and with Lin Zheyu’s current level of control and Spiritual Sense intensity, it was achieved easily.
However, compared to the cultivator’s spells like the Dust-removal Skill, it was a bit crude.
But it was passable.
After handling the courtyard briefly, Lin Zheyu sat down by the stone table, took out the Lingxi Ball from his storage bag, and began studying it.
Lin Zheyu was extremely interested in this special communication device.
"Thirty Lingxi sub-balls should be enough for now. Let’s merge the Lingxi Balls given by others first." Lin Zheyu said to himself.
He didn’t know many cultivators, and currently, only Ji Ziyang, Ji Zitong, and five others, plus Lei Yunshu, left their contact information with him.
A total of seven people.
Oh, and the contact information of the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance.
The contact method of the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance was not just ordinary; it was more like a platform or website that could accomplish many functions. Only cultivators valued by the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance were qualified to obtain it.
Even if ordinary cultivators have a Top-grade Spirit Rhinoceros Ball, they cannot access their platform without the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance’s jade token.
Lin Zheyu quickly checked it and found that there were many powerful individuals posting various task requirements, and you could also accept tasks there.
Unfortunately, apart from querying the products of the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance, other functions required Spirit Stones.
Lin Zheyu was curious but couldn’t use it for the time being.
In the end, he couldn’t recharge successfully.
No way, he ran out of Spirit Stones.
"First, leave a contact for Tu Yuan. Then when the time comes, I’ll make a good deal of profit from him and experience the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance functions." Lin Zheyu muttered to himself, taking out the Lingxi Ball left by Tu Yuan.
Although it was called merging, the process was quite simple.
One only needed to bring the two Lingxi Balls close together, establish a connection using Spiritual Sense, and integrate the key array patterns restriction from the sub-ball into Lin Zheyu’s master ball.
After successful merging, the original sub-ball became a blank ball that could be re-forged and reused.
"After leaving seclusion, you can find me at No. 13 Liou Lane, Baiyang District, using the Lingxi sub-ball I left there, then contact me via the Lingxi Ball." Lin Zheyu immediately sent a message.
Although the Celestial Observation Array in Wuling City prevented cultivators from causing trouble, Lin Zheyu still did not want to expose his current address to Tu Yuan.
He didn’t really trust Tu Yuan.
This guy gave him the impression of being untrustworthy.
Lin Zheyu didn’t want to end up in unnecessary trouble.
After integrating all the Lingxi Balls he had with his master ball, seven different auras immediately appeared on the master ball.
Lin Zheyu trusted the others much more.
As he sent greetings, he also left his address in Wuling City, inviting them to come over for a drink when they had time after leaving seclusion.
"I should go to the Infinite Sect first. After handling the matters there, I should retreat for a while."
"It’s been a long time, and I kind of miss them. I wonder how Mr. Liang and Mr. Han are doing. I hope all is well..."
Lin Zheyu sighed slightly, suddenly recalling Mr. Liang and Mr. Han from Southern Barbarians.
Now, the Southern Barbarians region had fallen into the hands of the Nine Nether Sect, and even though Lin Zheyu’s strength was comparable to the Foundation Establishment Peak, he did not dare to take risks alone.
Every city in the Great Wei had a Celestial Observation Array, and Lin Zheyu didn’t believe the Nine Nether Sect didn’t have similar means.
...
Wuling City.
Infinite Sect Bitao Pavilion Branch.
"Uncle Master!"
"It’s Uncle Master Lin, quickly notify the Pavilion Master!"
As soon as Lin Zheyu arrived outside the residence, someone recognized him and couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Ah!"
"Isn’t Uncle Master Lin... how... he’s still alive!"
Someone stammered, speaking somewhat incoherently, which made Lin Zheyu smile wryly.
Indeed, his sudden departure caused the sect members to believe he had encountered danger.
After all, with the current tense situation, many sect members often died outside, and having no news for so long usually indicated someone was no longer alive.
"Is the Pavilion Master in the sect?"
Lin Zheyu called over a disciple and softly asked.
"The Pavilion Master hasn’t been in the sect for a while; currently, Mr. Yang and the three elders manage the sect’s affairs."
The disciple replied respectfully.
"During my absence, has anything significant happened in the sect?" Lin Zheyu asked.
"As for significant matters, there is indeed one: almost all experts above Transforming Force were deployed from the sect."
"Even many Martial Artists above the Qi Blood Realm have joined the city guards to carry out missions."
"Now, the sect is short-handed, wishing one could be split into two," the disciple pondered and said.
"No one got into trouble, did they?"
Lin Zheyu expressed his concern and asked.
"There were, but most of them were disciples below the Bone Marrow Refining Realm. Not many died, but some were severely injured, possibly ending their Martial Dao journey."
The disciple’s mood somewhat dropped, feeling empathetic.
"Alright, nothing more, go back and cultivate well."
Lin Zheyu patted his shoulder, encouraged him, and walked towards the sect.
