76: Test

The more things he encountered, the more Zhou Luo felt the importance of strength.

He had thought that relying on the long lifespan granted by the System, he could completely lay low until the day he became an immortal.

Now it seems that some things are not obtained just because you want them.

In the cruel world of Cultivation, he could only walk each step on thin ice, facing these dangers with painstaking effort.

Thinking of this, Zhou Luo desperately wished to leave the Zhou Family, find a suitable place to live, build his own Immortal Family, and lay low until the very end.

Of course, he couldn't do that yet; only after he had the capital could he talk about these things.

As for building a Immortal Family, Zhou Luo thought of the Spirit Veins beneath his feet again; if possible, this might be a good place.

It's just a pity that the road ahead is long, and who knows what changes they might encounter along the way.

While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

He got up and opened the door, seeing that familiar face again.

Lin Shi, with a bald head, held a lunch box in his hand and smiled at him: "I heard you refined the antidote."

"It was all luck. Where did you go?" Zhou Luo asked after letting him in.

According to Lin Shi, he was sent out to investigate a place nearby. Because the journey was relatively far, the sound transmission talisman, which is only suitable for short distances, naturally had no effect.

Then he talked about Lin Xuanfeng's interrogation yesterday and confidently stated that the other party didn't see through his lie.

Zhou Luo naturally didn't mention that the other party had already seen through it.

Now it seems that the other party sent Lin Shi away to avoid alerting the enemy, wanting to see what he would do.

That's why he followed him all the way to Lin Xianlong's room.

Lin Shi's arrival at least confirmed one thing for Zhou Luo.

That is, the poisoning incident has likely passed. What needs attention now is not letting the Main Family know that he already understands the secret of the Spirit Mine.

"By the way, I heard you caused the Death of an Array Master. What exactly happened?" Lin Shi picked up Bai, sat across from him, and asked.

"Alas, I didn't want to, it was all an accident." Zhou Luo sighed, his expression distressed.

Lin Shi also shook his head: "If the Zhou Family finds out about this, you'll probably be punished."

"Is it serious?" Zhou Luo asked, pretending to be panicked.

"I don't know."

Lin Shi shook his head, then he whispered: Do you know what I discovered on this trip?

"What?" Zhou Luo held his rice bowl, asking in confusion.

"A new cave." Lin Shi said with a somewhat excited expression.

"A cave?"

Zhou Luo hesitated, put down his rice bowl, and guessed whether it was another entrance to the Second Level.

"Yes, I stood there and felt an incredibly abundant spiritual energy, almost comparable to the Core Area of the Zhou Family's Spirit Vein Blessed Land." Lin Shi said excitedly.

Zhou Luo's heart jolted upon hearing this.

Could it be the second entrance to the Fourth Layer?

"At that time, I originally planned to go in and investigate, but the captain stopped me, saying it was a Forbidden Ground." At this point, Lin Shi looked regretful.

After speaking, he looked at Zhou Luo and asked: "Where do you think that cave leads?"

Zhou Luo shrugged: "How would I know? Maybe it was built by the Lu Family before?"

"That's also possible. How great would it be if we could Cultivate there."

Lin Shi fantasized, then suddenly put down Bai, got up, and moved his chair next to Zhou Luo.

Seeing this, Zhou Luo frowned slightly.

He only heard Lin Shi whisper in his ear: "How about we go together? You think of a way, and I'll help you cover."

Hearing this, a ripple couldn't help but rise in Zhou Luo's heart.

If he could truly Cultivate near the Spirit Veins, it would be extremely beneficial for his Cultivation.

To be honest, Zhou Luo was indeed a little tempted.

Anyway, he had a disguise talisman, so it wasn't impossible to disguise himself as another guard then.

No.

Why does he think I'll definitely have a way?

Just then, Zhou Luo suddenly woke up.

He turned his head to look at Lin Shi beside him, who was also looking at him.

"How about it?" Lin Shi was still waiting for his answer.

Zhou Luo didn't answer; he was frantically thinking about the questions in his mind.

If the Main Family already knew he was the one who poisoned them, they would definitely also know that he had disguised himself as Lin Shi.

Lin Shi should not know this point.

But he suddenly suggested these things, as if he knew he had a disguise talisman and could leave.

In an instant, a terrifying guess surfaced in Zhou Luo's mind.

He was testing him.

If he truly knew the secret of the Fourth Layer, he would definitely be eager to go and check.

A chill ran down Zhou Luo's spine, and his heart trembled even more.

The Main Family's test had begun.

He tried his best to calm his heart, and said calmly: "I don't think it's necessary. Cultivating here should be no different from there, and I have to do Pill Refining every day."

"That's true, then forget it." Lin Shi seemed to agree with his statement and moved back.

Next, Lin Shi asked Zhou Luo some more questions. Although they were just everyday questions, with his heightened awareness, he felt that every word the other party said was like a test.

Dinner ended in this highly focused mood. After Lin Shi left, Zhou Luo let out a long sigh of relief.

He didn't know if his guess was correct.

But he knew that once the Main Family confirmed he knew the secret, he would definitely die.

He didn't dare to gamble.

After leaving the room, Lin Shi did not choose to leave with the wooden box but walked towards the room opposite.

Inside the room, Lin Xuanfeng was sitting there quietly.

"Ninth Elder."

Lin Shi bowed respectfully and told the other party everything that had happened in detail.

After listening, Lin Xuanfeng said: "Go."

Lin Shi took the order and left.

Lin Xuanfeng looked at the doorway, his sharp eyes like a hawk's seemingly able to penetrate all obstacles and fall on the figure in the room opposite.

That's right, this was indeed a test he had arranged.

Now it seems that the test was neither successful nor failed, because he did not get the answer he wanted.

Could it be that he really doesn't know the secret of the Spirit Mine?

A thoughtful expression appeared on Lin Xuanfeng's gloomy face, and then he got up and left.

He would leave this matter to the Fourth Elder next; he still had other things to arrange back at the Zhou Family.

On the morning of the second day, the four finally refined the required antidote pills.

After the people on the Second Level took them, they all recovered as expected.

The poisoning incident was resolved, and Lin Xuanfeng and others also had to leave, along with Lin Xianlong's body.

Although the poisoning incident was over, behind it, more things were waiting for these important figures to contend with.

Who knows what kind of storm will be stirred up after the Zhou Family learns that a First-Order Pill Grade Array Master has died.

Knowing that Lin Xuanfeng and others had left, Zhou Luo did not relax his vigilance.

Especially Lin Shi's behavior last night made him feel more and more that something was wrong.

He had originally thought that the other party was different from the other members of the Main Family, but now it seems he was mistaken.

In the face of interests, everyone is the same.
