Chapter 55 Edict
Li Zhijing, dressed neatly and unlike her usual frivolous self, walked over with a hurried expression.
He hadn't expected this serious demeanor.
Normally, Li Zhijing wouldn't come up unless it was something important; she would usually send out a communication talisman to relay messages. This time, she must have something to discuss.
After coming up, Li Zhijing didn't discuss things in detail and went straight to reporting.
"What? You said Sect Leader Zhong is looking for me?"
Lin Changqing looked puzzled. He had been living a peaceful life in recent years and had not caused any trouble in Huangfeng Valley. Why did Zhonglingdao want to see him?
No, could it be that something has happened to Chen Qiaoqian?
Could this be a trap? Several possibilities flashed through his mind in an instant, but he dismissed them all.
If it is discovered that he killed the man surnamed Lu, the one who will arrive will not be the one who communicates with others, but the enforcement team from Huangfeng Valley.
"Did Sect Leader Zhong say what he wanted to ask me to do?" Lin Changqing asked Li Zhijing with a puzzled look.
"They didn't go into details, just that a disciple from Huangfeng Valley came with a token to deliver a message."
Lin Changqing took the message token and examined it carefully. It was indeed the token of the Yellow Maple Valley's leader. It seemed that Zhongling Dao had something to discuss with him, but he didn't know what it was.
With his cultivation plans disrupted, Lin Changqing's mind was inevitably troubled, and he wanted to find out as soon as possible what exactly went wrong.
"Alright, Zhijing, is there anything else you want to say? If not, you may leave now. I will head to the main hall of Huangfeng Valley."
Seeing that Lin Changqing wanted to go to Huangfeng Valley immediately, Li Zhijing quickly said, "Brother Lin, there is one more thing. Recently, the prices of alchemy and weapon crafting in various markets have fluctuated too much, and even the prices of related cultivation materials have increased significantly."
"I suspect that the fluctuations are caused by some powerful forces acquiring large amounts of cultivation resources. I expect there will be major changes in the cultivation world in a few years or a decade or so."
Li Zhijing did not leave immediately. Instead, he remained calm and told Lin Changqing everything he knew and had calculated. As for the remaining operational authority, it was in Lin Changqing's hands.
"oh!"
After hearing Li Zhijing's description, Lin Changqing immediately thought of the teleportation array.
If Li Zhijing hadn't told him, he wouldn't have found the teleportation array, nor would he have obtained the five-colored pills to improve his spiritual root aptitude once again.
Therefore, he felt that Li Zhijing was quite fortunate, or rather, that there was something about her that he did not know. He did not investigate these matters in detail.
In any case, everything Li Zhijing did did not harm him; on the contrary, it brought him many benefits.
Therefore, when Li Zhijing told him what happened, he believed half of it at first, and he had to verify the other half himself.
If there are any major changes or wars, he, as a guest elder of Huangfeng Valley, will likely be conscripted to fight on the front lines.
At that time, cultivation resources will be strictly controlled. All important cultivation resources, such as spiritual lands, talismans, magical artifacts, and elixirs, will be strictly controlled. To obtain these resources, one can only join the Yellow Maple Valley army and earn merit points to exchange for them.
Otherwise, one can leave Yellow Maple Valley and find a barren place or even a place lacking spiritual energy to cultivate.
There is a lack of cultivation materials and a scarcity of weapon-forging materials there. One can only waste one's lifespan or be forced to return to one's old ways, forging mortal ironware to eke out a living in the world.
Of course, it's not impossible to survive like this, as long as you survive until the end of the war.
However, after witnessing the magnificence of the cultivation world and the extraordinary nature of cultivators, he, who has only been in the cultivation world for a little over ten years, does not want to return to the mortal realm. He still wants to continue cultivating upwards and pursue a higher realm.
If it's not a major war, but just minor changes or ordinary frictions, then nothing will happen, everything will remain the same, the days of cultivation will still be peaceful, and there will still be sufficient resources to support one's cultivation, steadily improve oneself, and gain more lifespan.
However, the repair of the great formation needs to be brought forward, as he doesn't want to be forced to return to mortal cultivation when the battle becomes more intense.
He would rather venture into other cultivation worlds in exchange for a peaceful opportunity to cultivate.
"By the way, Zhijing, how's the collection of materials on the list I gave you last time coming along?"
Lin Changqing did not press Li Zhijing for details of his analysis, but instead asked about the materials used in the great formation.
After he figured out how to repair the great formation, he arranged for Li Zhijing to inquire about the formation materials while doing business on weekdays, and to buy them if he could find them.
When Li Zhijing heard him ask about the great formation, she answered him seriously.
"Brother Lin, most of these array materials are quite rare and cannot be found in a short time. So far, we have only found about 50% of all the materials."
"As for the remaining materials that have not yet been found, they are becoming increasingly difficult to locate."
Lin Changqing was not disappointed after hearing this, because the materials for repairing the great formation were indeed hard to find and could not be done overnight.
"Yes, Zhijing, thank you for your hard work. Just search as much as you can, there's no need to force yourself. These are a few bottles of pills I've refined. Take them and use them daily to improve your cultivation."
"Now that you have taken the five-colored pills, they should have had some effect. Your spiritual root aptitude has improved considerably. In the future, you should focus on cultivation and strive to reach the Qi Refining Perfection stage as soon as possible."
After saying that, Lin Changqing flicked his sleeve, and several bottles of pills that were very beneficial to the Qi Refining stage fell into Li Zhijing's hands.
Li Zhijing was overjoyed to receive the pills. He knew that these pills, refined by Lin Changqing, were of higher quality and more effective than those sold elsewhere, and were specially reserved for him.
He highly approves of the quality of the magical artifacts and pills refined by Lin Changqing, and also likes Lin Changqing's way of handling things.
If they have something good, they won't take it all just because he's weak, nor will they look down on him for his weakness or think he only knows some unorthodox methods.
That is why he wholeheartedly supports Lin Changqing.
However, Lin Changqing is right. He really needs to speed up his cultivation, otherwise his life will be in danger.
In order to find the great formation, he studied many ancient texts and even used secret methods to calculate, which consumed a lot of his lifespan.
......
A long rainbow streaked across the sky and landed at the foot of the Yellow Maple Valley gate.
Huangfeng Valley is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. A towering tree is covered with many grand halls, and a waterfall flows down from the tree, just like the Milky Way in the sky.
The ancient giant tree is surrounded by wooden bridges and pavilions that connect various beautiful mountain peaks, resembling a fairyland on earth.
Even ordinary people living here can live longer and be healthy.
On the flying boat sat a clean-cut, handsome man.
This person was none other than Lin Changqing, who had received Zhongling Dao's decree and flown here.
He dared to come because he was confident.
Even if a Core Formation cultivator makes a move, he still has ways to escape.
As for Nascent Soul cultivators, they wouldn't go to such lengths for a Qi Refining disciple.
Moreover, he was unsure whether the matter had come to light, so he showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, his face remained calm and composed, as if he were sitting on still water.
Upon arriving at the mountain gate, Lin Changqing stopped flying and instead strolled towards the main hall, just like when he first came to Huangfeng Valley.
Most of the cultivators who come and go from Yellow Maple Valley wear light yellow uniforms, and there are very few cultivators like Lin Changqing who wear light blue robes.
Among the crowd, most were disciples of sects, and there were very few outsiders, which made him stand out.
In addition, his outstanding appearance and excellent temperament made people feel that he was different, and they all looked at him.
