Lin Chen made a gesture and said:
"Ten thousand each, I think it’s just right... Afterward, during this relic test in the second phase, I will do my best to protect the lives of you two Taoist friends..."
Li Zhenqian, hearing this, did not hesitate and directly took out twenty thousand Spirit Stones and handed them over.
"Taoist Friend Xu, I will pay my senior brother’s ten thousand as well!"
Lin Chen took the Spirit Stones as if they were in his Storage Bag, showing an expression that was quite on point.
"Tsk tsk, it seems that after not seeing him for a while, Li’s fortune has increased quite a bit!"
Lin Chen thought to himself.
Nevertheless, Li Family and Lin Chen have cooperated for a long ti, presumably earning quite a bit.
Nowadays, Li Zhenqian’s cultivation is at the Foundation Establishnt Middle Period, and he is counted as the future Patriarch of the Li Family; having more Spirit Stones is understandable.
Li Zhenqian looked at "Xu Shi’s" smile, and suddenly thought: How does this Taoist Friend Xu feel sowhat like Lin Chen?
Yet, as soon as this thought arose, Li Zhenqian hurriedly shook his head.
He admitted Lin Chen was a genius, but against the "Xu Shi" in front, he still differed greatly.
Wan Xun beside them saw their expressions and was even more puzzled.
"Such a capable Taoist Friend Xu surprisingly is also a greedy person? But... in cultivation, who does not like Spirit Stones?"
Wan Xun thought to himself:
"Moreover, twenty thousand Spirit Stones, this price is indeed very cheap..."
Twenty thousand Spirit Stones are equivalent to Lin Chen taking them through the second phase.
The reward for passing the first phase was several Foundation Establishnt Pills...
How generous must the reward for the second phase be?
As Wan Xun contemplated, Lin Chen had already chosen a direction, pointing northward, and said:
"Two Taoist friends, I wish to go in this direction..."
Wan Xun and Li Zhenqian naturally had no reason to oppose.
They had been lost in this desert several tis; naturally, following Lin Chen was best.
The three continued in the sa direction.
On the road, Li Zhenqian suddenly ca close and asked:
"Brother Xu, you said before you are from the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect... Do you know Senior Han the Sixth?"
Lin Chen heard this and blinked, appropriately showing a look of surprise and said:
"Eh, you know Sixth Brother?"
Li Zhenqian nodded after hearing this and said: "Yes, our Li Family has traded several tis with Senior Han..."
Li Zhenqian roughly described the previous transactions between the Four Great Clans and Han the Sixth.
Lin Chen pretended to just learn about it, nodding and saying:
"Fate, it’s all fate, ah!"
"Ah, my Sixth Brother’s strength is high, far beyond mine... If I had his kind of strength, I wouldn’t have co to try my luck in these ruins..."
Li Zhenqian, hearing this, had his mind stirred up into a storm.
He never saw Han the Sixth’s strength firsthand.
But the "Xu Shi" before his eyes was soone who could slay a Third Tier Demon Beast with one slash!
His capabilities are at least equal to a Golden Core Cultivator!
Yet from what he said, still quite lacking compared to Han the Sixth...
Thinking this through, Li Zhenqian gasped inwardly.
"Hiss, doesn’t this an that Senior Han is at least a Great Power in the Golden Core Late Period? Maybe even... a Nascent Soul True Man!"
This mont, Li Zhenqian thought a lot, continuously conjured in his mind.
"Can’t allow, after returning ho, must inform father of this news..."
...
The group of three journeyed northward.
Traveling through the vast desert.
The target of the second phase test is to walk out from the Black Sand Country.
But it is difficult to distinguish direction in the desert, all Lin Chen can do is walk straight in one direction.
As long as the desert is finite, walking straight will ultimately lead out.
Thus, the walk lasted three days and three nights.
Along the way, Lin Chen encountered many demon beasts.
But they were almost all Second Tier Demon Beasts, swiftly slain by Lin Chen, reduced to beast materials.
Lin Chen didn’t just hunt one or two demon beasts, this left Li Zhenqian and Wan Xun dumbfounded.
Encountering demon beasts was frequent, but eting other cultivators in this desert is still relatively unlikely.
Until the fourth day.
After crossing another sand dune, Li Zhenqian raised his head to look at a dash of green in the distance.
Showing joy on his face, excitedly said:
"Senior Brother Wan, Brother Xu, look... Is that an oasis? Have we walked out of this desert?"
Lin Chen, hearing this, also lifted his eyes.
The power of the Candle Dragon given him far superior vision than ordinary people.
Though separated by several dozen miles, Lin Chen could still see clearly, it was indeed an oasis.
There is a lake, and by the lake are many green plants, along with so battered ruins.
"This should still be within the desert... That would be the ruins of an ancient town in Black Sand Ancient Country..."
Lin Chen reminded.
According to what Li Tianhan said before, one might find relics left by ancient cultivators within the Black Sand Ancient Country.
"Let’s go, let’s check out that oasis!"
"Still, be cautious... There might be threats within this oasis."
Lin Chen spoke.
He had great confidence in his own strength.
Anyone below Core Formation Middle Period would practically be unable to withstand a single Vibrating Blade from him.
Moreover, this relic of the Golden Yuan Sect is obviously for selecting suitable cultivators to practice the third transformation Golden Yuan Skill; there should not be overly strong enemies.
Thus the group of three proceeded toward the oasis.
...
Montarily later, at the oasis lakefront.
Li Zhenqian gazed at the large crop of dicinal herbs by the lakeside and was dumbfounded.
"My goodness! So many dicinal herbs... How many are there? Thirty thousand, fifty thousand?"
Lin Chen also arrived at the lakeshore, witnessing the vast amount of Spiritual dicine.
Practically surrounding the entire lake in a circle.
Such quantity even made Lin Chen envious!
He crouched down to verify the year of these dicinal herbs...
"Every single one of these dicinal herbs is at least five thousand years old! Each one is worth a fortune!"
