Venerable Ling Quan looked at Lin Jing with a dark face, and said, "Young fellow, so you didn’t give up the competition for the Heavenly Treasure, but instead you eliminated your rivals and obtained the ultimate treasure?"
Lin Jing replied helplessly, "Grotto Heaven rules, just self-defense."
"Senior Ling Quan, what do you think of what I said..." He firmly believed that in these tis, the debtor is the master.
As long as the money hasn’t been paid back, the one who fears your death the most is the creditor.
And now, he is the debtor.
Venerable Ling Quan is the creditor.
Venerable Ling Quan shook his head and said, "The Grotto Heaven descended upon Celestial Cyan City’s market street, and the Cyan Nether Trade Association even sealed off the market street. Any cultivator in Celestial Cyan City can guess that you have had contact with the Cyan Nether Trade Association..."
"Letting you go would be equivalent to slapping Venerable Bai Xuan in the face, causing him to hold a grudge!"
"The overall strength of the Supre Profound Sect is not inferior to the Cyan Nether Trade Association; it is the leading sect of the Supre Profound Dao. It has Void Profound Ancestor in closed-door cultivation, and this Venerable Bai Xuan is one of the Eight Colors Venerables of the Supre Profound Sect, so..."
"More money is needed!" He looked at Lin Jing, "It’s fine to secretly let you go, but you haven’t returned the pills, which would bring so trouble to this old man without so compensation, wouldn’t it!"
"I won’t ask for much, just your promise to repay the owed pills within a year. For every year delayed, the quantity of pills owed doubles!"
"What kind of ghost interest is that." Lin Jing’s mouth twitched.
"How about it?" Venerable Ling Quan stared at Lin Jing. He valued the market potential of the Gluttonous Pill more than the Supre Profound Sect.
Actually, letting Lin Jing go wasn’t a big deal.
But more than the questioning from the Supre Profound Sect, he was more worried about... Lin Jing disappearing after he left, absconding with the debt.
Owing for a high-level exotic fire isn’t a big deal. The main issue is that without the subsequent rights to sell the Gluttonous Pills, it makes Venerable Ling Quan, a businessman, very uncomfortable.
In his view, as long as he can get the subsequent selling rights to the Gluttonous Pill, offending Venerable Bai Xuan is worth it.
After all, offending Venerable Bai Xuan is tantamount to befriending Lin Jing, a genius who fought his way out of the Heavenly Treasure Grotto Heaven. Regardless of his own strength, the Pill Venerable Master behind him mustn’t be an ordinary individual either.
Between an ordinary Divinity Transformation cultivator and a Pill Venerable, who can bring greater benefits, Venerable Ling Quan understands very well.
The condition he proposed for letting Lin Jing go is negligible; it’s just a friendly gesture toward Lin Jing.
Additionally, he lets Lin Jing make a promise rather than sign a contract as a gesture of goodwill, mainly to ensure Lin Jing rembers this lonely old rchant in Celestial Cyan City.
After a slight pause in thought, Lin Jing said, "Alright."
Repaying within a year will be fine.
As for now, he indeed doesn’t have many Gluttonous Pills.
After the transaction was completed, Venerable Ling Quan flew away, "The distance between Supre Profound Dao and Cyan Nether Dao is far; there are no spatial teleportation arrays in Qingzhou. Even with Divinity Transformation Stage cultivation, rushing to travel would take so ti. Take care of yourself and leave this domain quickly.."
Sending off Venerable Ling Quan, Lin Jing entered the Pill Pavilion feeling pensive, beginning to pack his luggage...
"Leaving is impossible."
Imdiately, he created an illusion, transforming into his own likeness, flying out of the Pill Pavilion, and under all eyes, flew out of Celestial Cyan City.
As for his true self, he didn’t leave Celestial Cyan City at all but escaped into the Ti Sandglass, disappearing from the outside world.
He had arranged to et Senior Brother Ouyang at this market street; leaving far away, how could they et? Since he was bound to return early or late, he might as well not leave at all.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. As long as many people see my illusion leaving Celestial Cyan City, even if the Supre Profound Sect cultivators arrive later, they will be misled!"
Hiding in the exotic space of the Ti Sandglass, Lin Jing could calmly wait for Senior Brother Ouyang to return to Celestial Cyan City.
......
In a void world full of gravel, upon entering, Lin Jing felt no difference from the outside world, except the spiritual qi was more abundant, far surpassing the Beast Taming space of the Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp and the Academy Cave Mansion.
As for the flow of ti, as the master of the Ti Sandglass, he could see the outside world, everything outside appeared extrely slow, forming a stark contrast with the sandglass world.
"Good stuff..." Lin Jing murmured to himself, feeling his security had greatly increased. This ti, unless it was Void Profound practicing the way of ti, no one could find this place.
"More ti."
"I’ll wait until the scheduled eting ti with Senior Brother Ouyang to go out. I’ll just wait for him here."
"Magic Dao spells, Illusion Dao spells... forget it, try this, don’t waste it."
Lin Jing sat cross-legged among the gravel, took out the Three Heads Six Arms technique obtained from the Demon Ancestor Ruins, and began practicing, summoning the Pine Leaf Mouse to plant trees, slightly changing the desolate environnt.
......
anwhile,
A while later, a giant bird arrived in Celestial Cyan City from high in the boundless sky, carrying Ouyang Hao and Xu Qingyao who ca with him.
Their speed was significantly ahead of the expected ti, thanks to Xu Qingyao accompanying them on the Divinity Transformation Demon Emperor.
"Hey, what’s going on, where’s the shop???"
The market street was reopened, but standing before the Naless Pill Pavilion with his senior sister, Ouyang Hao fell into contemplation, as the Pill Pavilion where Lin Jing was now had seals plastered all over it.
On the pavilion’s walls, there were notices of bounty from the Supre Profound Sect, targeting the alchemist image Lin Jing had transford into.
"Huh?" Xu Qingyao glanced at Ouyang Hao, seemingly wanting an explanation.
Seeing this, Ouyang Hao imdiately went to a nearby shop to inquire: "Fellow cultivator, do you know what’s going on with the Naless Pill Pavilion? Their contraceptive pills are quite good; I wanted to buy a few more."
"Why are they wanted, did their pills kill soone?"
The fake Elder Dan from the adjacent shop was stunned, "Fellow cultivator, you might not know. Not long ago, the owner of that Naless Pill Pavilion got involved with the Grotto Heaven, killed the Supre Profound Sect’s true disciple within the Grotto Heaven, and now they’re wanted by the Supre Profound Sect, as for the owner, they fled at the earliest opportunity!"
"Why did he enter the Grotto Heaven again, I haven’t gotten in even once." Ouyang Hao muttered to himself while hurriedly going to report to Xu Qingyao.
"Such a troublemaker." Xu Qingyao’s mouth twitched, his true identity was wanted; he took on a false identity and was forced into exile again, how unlucky this Beast Taming Sect Saint Heir is.
"What should we do?" Ouyang Hao was also speechless.
Xu Qingyao said, "What else can we do, we don’t know where he’s hiding; let’s go, that Venerable Bai Gei should still be in this Celestial Cyan City, I sense two Divinity Transformation auras in the city; let’s go beat up that Supre Profound Sect Divinity Transformation cultivator, make them withdraw the bounty so that the little brat feels safe to return!"
"The Grotto Heaven competition wasn’t malicious and destructive, losing because of inferior skills—what’s there to hold a grudge about! Making run all this way, plus spending ti waiting!"
After speaking, she rolled up her sleeves, disregarding Ouyang Hao’s dazed look, and transford into a long rainbow flying toward the source of the Divinity Transformation aura.
"Uh, Senior Sister, wait, wait!!" Senior Brother Ouyang was baffled, feeling soone was about to suffer again. Ever since joining the Demon Court, Senior Sister’s temper had increasingly worsened, gradually becoming more beast-like.
