Chapter 954: Chapter 955: Treasure Hunt in the Small Town
Thus, Lin Yifan put away the key and asked, “Is there any other treasure?”
“No more!” Mao Laoda answered honestly.
This ti he really had no extra treasures, only so elixirs left.
Lin Yifan didn’t believe him and called Mao Laoda over for a body search.
Mao Laoda didn’t resist at all and generously ca over to let Lin Yifan search him.
After a complete search from top to bottom, Lin Yifan indeed found no extra treasures, so he let Mao Laoda go.
When Lin Yifan and his companions were packing up to leave, Mao Laoda thickened his skin and asked, “Hero! Could we form an alliance?”
“Alliance? Haven’t you seen as a thorn in your side? Why do you still want to ally with ?” Lin Yifan asked curiously.
There’s always a reason for everything; he feared the other party’s intention wasn’t so simple.
“Because you are highly skilled in martial arts and a reliable partner,” Mao Laoda answered with a smile.
“Reliable? I’m afraid it’s not that simple?” Lin Yifan sneered.
Although he didn’t know what the other party was up to, he was sure it wasn’t anything good.
“Hero! My intention really is that simple. Will the hero oblige?” Mao Laoda replied calmly.
Now they were practically penniless, unafraid of Lin Yifan’s difficulties.
“Hmph!”
Lin Yifan’s mouth slightly curved up, as he had his own plans.
Even though the Qiushan Sect was just a dium-sized sect, it still had strength; allying with them might help avoid many troubles.
But, with benefit cos harm. Should the Qiushan Sect turn against them in tis of crisis, they’d face an additional enemy.
This wasn’t sothing he wanted to ss with, though Lin Yifan wasn’t afraid, he still didn’t want this trouble.
Lin Yifan knew this group was unreliable, so he made his request, “You want to ally with us? The condition is you must swallow an elixir, are you willing?”
“Elixir”
Hearing these words, Mao Laoda frowns deeply.
Everyone knows the dicinal Saint Valley specializes in elixir refinent; although they claim not to make poison, who knows what they do in private.
Lin Yifan’s request showed he ca prepared. That elixir likely contained poison, possibly fatal.
Thinking about having his life controlled, he felt uneasy.
This wasn’t the feeling he wanted, so he replied, “Since you’re wary of us, let’s forget it.”
“Hmph! True friends aren’t made this way, bla yourselves for being insincere,” Lin Yifan sneered, full of disdain.
Everything was under his control; he wasn’t stupid enough to fall for their ruse.
Lin Yifan gave most of the treasures to Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge.
To him, those treasures weren’t tempting, so he could do without.
Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge were thrilled, but thinking about lugging all these around in a small world wasn’t fun.
Lin Yifan and the others left.
Watching their backs, Mao Laoda clenched his fists, squinting in deep hatred.
“Senior Brother Mao, what now?”
“Follow them quietly; when encountering treasure, don’t worry about anything else, just grab it,” Mao Laoda responded.
His alliance proposal was ant to stay close to Lin Yifan and act when the ti was right. Seeing them refuse, he had to follow secretly.
“Alright! We’ll listen to Mao Laoda.” The other disciples from Qiushan Sect readily accepted the idea.
Nothing is more tempting than treasure; they had to regain what’s theirs.
As Lin Yifan and his companions moved down the road, they were unaware the Qiushan Sect intended to shadow them. Even if they did follow, it wouldn’t matter; they could always have a big fight.
Carrying lots of treasures, Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge occasionally glanced back, fearing the Qiushan Sect’s return strike.
During the fight earlier, if the Qiushan Sect had targeted them as they did Lin Yifan’s junior, they would’ve been done for.
But their worries were unnecessary.
Lin Yifan possessed “One Qi Transforms to Three Purities” martial arts, with which he could summon a clone to protect them anyti.
Additionally, he and his clone could freely switch places. If attacked by Qiushan Sect disciples, he would swap out the clone for his true self, then wield the dicine Saint Order to strike them down.
This would not only keep him from passive confrontation but also give a severe blow to Qiushan Sect—a perfect solution.
The Qiushan Sect likely knew the power of “One Qi Transforms to Three Purities,” which is why they hadn’t attacked Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge.
As they traveled, Lin Yifan suddenly heard noise behind; he slightly turned his head, using his peripheral vision to glance.
He saw nothing, but he guessed what was happening.
The Qiushan Sect people haunted them like shadows, always following.
It was a waste of ti and energy to fight them, better to let them follow and see what they intend to do.
The Qiushan Sect was unaware that Lin Yifan noticed them; they continued cautiously, not losing track of him.
As ti passed, they soon arrived at a small town.
The town had densely packed residential buildings, evidently more bustling than a village. It surely held many treasures, so Lin Yifan and his companions eagerly entered.
Passing through a small gate, they entered the town, starting their treasure hunt.
Along the way, they found many houses showing signs of being searched. It ant soone had been there before them.
It made sense; being slow and spending a night in the forest, the larger sects must have swept through nearby towns and villages.
Being late has its benefits; treasures hidden in the town might not have been completely taken by big sect disciples. Lin Yifan and his companions carefully searched, sure to find so treasures.
Motivated, they continued hunting for treasures.
Along the way, they found many corpses of spirit beasts, as well as humans. This indicated danger from spirit beasts lurking in the town.
They couldn’t let their guard down—they had to be vigilant.
Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge dared not separate from Lin Yifan, fearing secret lethal attacks from others or spirit beasts. Such is the plight of the weak, always seeking protection from the strong.
Even with two burdens, Lin Yifan didn’t feel bothered.
Everything has its pros and cons; although in the small world, Long Tengyu and Lü Qiu Shaoge’s value couldn’t be seen, outside it’s different.
