Cultivation Esoterica - C126
“Otherwise what? “If only one is inside, neither you nor I can afford it!” The armored man directly cut off the guard’s words.
The middle-aged man missed the guards and shouted to the people lining up outside the city, “Those at the back, there’s no need to queue up anymore. Let’s hurry up and enter the city! The beast tide is coming!”
As Lin Xi listened to their conversation, he snickered in his heart, “Beast tide?” Those beasts have long since disappeared from the Elephant Mountain, and even started to drink mountain spring water! ”
When everyone heard this, they hastened their steps and squeezed through the gates. Most of these people were ordinary cultivators at the early stage of the Invigorated Meridian Realm. From their appearances, they had already given up on cultivation and became ordinary residents.
However, there was a group of people who were different from these ordinary cultivators. Although they did not wear the same uniform, they stood side by side with a very compact appearance, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these 30-40 cultivators were definitely in a group. Moreover, they should be in a hunting team or something like that.
Compared to other hunting squads, although this squadron was small in numbers, they were all elites.
Along with the crowd, the Demon Hunt Squad squeezed up behind Lin Xi. Lin Xi, who already hated being crowded, continued to slowly walk forward. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to walk fast, but there were many people in front of him that couldn’t move fast at all.
“F * ck, what are you so slow for!” The fierce-looking man patted Lin Xi with the saber in his hand and said impatiently, “Hurry up, the beasts are coming, I’ll throw you out first!”
In order to prevent the experts from disturbing his journey, before he arrived at Bie Shuangcheng, Lin Xi used a method to restrain her Qi and suppressed her cultivation to around the middle stage of Core Formation. That was why this man dared to make such a bold move!
Lin Xi didn’t reply to the man’s somewhat provocative words. Instead, he swept his gaze viciously across the man. When the man felt the light in Lin Xi’s eyes, he couldn’t help but shiver.
“Everyone, don’t argue! “Hurry up and enter the city!” The middle-aged cultivator shouted coldly towards Lin Xi and the other two.
The city walls of Bie Shuangcheng were unusually thick. Lin Xi followed the crowd and walked through the entrance of the city for a full minute.
“Oh, I’m finally out!” Lin Xi sighed softly. Looking at the bustling crowd in the city, Lin Xi felt a sense of joy that he was about to arrive at the Yanzhou College. “Let’s find a map to the Yanzhou College first.”
After walking along the street for some time, Lin Xi arrived in front of a three story tall, luxurious building. A large board was inscribed with the words “Changping Union” in large, bold, and golden characters.
Lin Xi walked in and looked at the dazzling array of goods, as well as the men and women dressed in gorgeous clothing. With a smile, she said, “There should be something I want in here right?”
After searching left and right, he finally found a goatskin scroll marked with the “Records of Flame and Earth”. Before Lin Xi could open it, a large hand grabbed onto the goatskin scroll, laughing mischievously along with it.
Lin Xi was a little angry in her heart, but she suppressed her anger and raised her head to ask, “Friend, what do you mean by this?”
“Hehe!” Do you think we’re fated to be together? And here we meet again! ” That person said with a mischievous smile.
Lin Xi had indeed seen this person before. Just as they entered the Bian Shuangcheng, there was that Beast Hunting Group cultivator who told him to leave quickly.
Lin Xi suppressed the anger in her heart and tried her best to keep her mood calm. “I still have something important to do. Get out of my way!” As Lin Xi spoke, she suddenly used her strength to snatch the sheepskin scroll.
“I have something to tell you. I want to believe that you’re interested!”
Lin Xi looked at him and said with a hint of doubt, “Oh, tell me!”
“The captain of our Demon Hunt Squad wants you to join us. A thousand spirit essence stones a month. You get a good treatment. How about it? Come with us!” As the cultivator spoke, he had an expression of reverence.
One thousand spirit essence stones was definitely not a small amount. Even the Ling Family, which owned a spirit earth mine back then, could only produce a few thousand per month.
However, Lin Xi was in a hurry to go to the Academy. Even if he didn’t go there, he wouldn’t be able to follow a hunting squadron around every day. He still had a lot of important things to settle!
Therefore, Lin Xi didn’t even bat an eyelid as he said coldly, “Find someone else! I’m not interested. ” As he spoke, he opened the sheepskin scroll and began to carefully search for the location of the Yan Guan Institution.
“Sir, sir. According to our store’s rules, maps must be purchased before you can view them!” A sweet girl who looked a little anxious said in a coquettish tone.
“Oh, oh, sorry!” Lin Xi looked at the woman who was walking towards him with a smile. “I wonder what’s the price for this’ Raging Flames of the Earth ‘!”
“Ugh …” The girl looked at Lin Xi in shock, then pointed at a label on the sheepskin scroll in Lin Xi’s hand.
All of a sudden, Lin Xi also laughed dryly, a little embarrassed. “Hehe, I didn’t pay any attention just now …”
Just when Lin Xi saw the price on the label, his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He said with a slightly trembling voice, “Three …” Three hundred thousand! ”
The woman nodded slightly. She glanced at Lin Xi with disdain and said, “This is a true record of the Fire Continent. It’s worth more than three hundred thousand. If you don’t have money, don’t hold onto it!”
Even though this woman had a face full of disdain towards him, and even a little bit of disgust towards him, and even though Lin Xi’s heart was burning with anger, but he really didn’t have that many spirit stones, so he could endure this woman’s contempt towards him.
When Lin Xi reluctantly put the scroll back, her eyes fell on the cultivators of the Beast Hunting Group. She stretched out her slender hand and patted the cultivator’s shoulder, saying, “Friend, can you buy this scroll for me? I’ll definitely return it to you in the future. What do you think?”
The cultivator angrily said, “Nothing!” “I don’t have that many spirit stones …”
Just when the cultivator shook his head with a face full of disagreement, as if he had thought of something, he paused for a few seconds, and then, the smile on his face brimmed once again, “Follow me back to the Beast Hunting Group. When you join the Beast Hunting Team, perhaps the Guild Leader would be happy and directly buy it for you! Hehe! How about it? “Should we go?”
As he spoke, he blinked continuously, as if he was looking forward to Lin Xi joining them.
“If I were to suppress my aura right now, these Beast Hunting Group cultivators shouldn’t be able to see through my cultivation. Why would they be so eager to join?” Moreover, this Beast Hunt Squad’s treatment of their members was somewhat high. A thousand spirit essence stones should be something that many people would fight over. Why would they specially look for such a good opportunity? ” Lin Xi thought in her heart.
Right now, she was in need of money. Even though she was full of doubts, Lin Xi still nodded and agreed, “Please lead the way, friend!”
Hearing Lin Xi’s words, the cultivator was overjoyed, “My name is Zhu Jia, I welcome you to the Demon Hunt Squad, follow me!”
Lin Xi followed closely behind him and said, “Lin Xi.”
