198: Chapter 198 Treasure Vault?

Lin Ming, Su Lianxue, Hu Miaotong, and Yu Yaoqin, along with Shangyang Peak Disciple Gong Hui, set out together.

The five of them boarded a spirit boat and headed towards Yanyun Mountain.

Yanyun Mountain lay outside the sphere of influence of Yuanxu Mountain and was quite a long distance away.

For Lin Ming, this was another long journey.

...

On Zichen Peak

Master Yun Hua stood alone on the peak. She watched the direction of the mountain gate, and after seeing Lin Ming and the others depart on the spirit boat, she left Zichen Peak.

Main Peak, inside the Sect Great Hall.

Sect Master Yun Xiao sat alone in the main seat, a look of contemplation on his face.

"Senior Sister."

Sect Master Yun Xiao looked ahead. As his voice fell, Master Yun Hua's figure appeared before him.

"I have one more Disciple on my mountain; take a look at her," Master Yun Hua said to Sect Master Yun Xiao.

She did not even give Sect Master Yun Xiao a chance to reply before disappearing from the Great Hall.

"Senior Sister, you are too impatient," Sect Master Yun Xiao said, looking into the Great Hall with a helpless expression.

He naturally knew what Senior Sister intended to do next.

But he did not stop Master Yun Hua; he knew that with her temper, he could not stop her unless he took action to keep her there.

He did not do that either. All he could ensure was that Senior Sister would not come to harm.

...

"We will likely be on this spirit boat for quite a while," Yu Yaoqin said with a smile as she stood on the spirit boat, gazing at the scenery below.

"It will take some time," Lin Ming nodded.

He had originally thought about using a teleportation array, but the presence of Hu Miaotong caused Lin Ming to temporarily abandon that idea.

After all, the existence of the teleportation array was a minor secret for the current Yuanxu Mountain and could not be casually revealed to outsiders.

This meant Lin Ming had no choice but to pilot the spirit boat.

"Oh right, Junior Sister Lianxue, has anyone come looking for you these past few days?" Yu Yaoqin seemed to recall something at this moment, her gaze immediately falling on Su Lianxue as she asked.

"Looking for me? No?" Su Lianxue shook her head.

After returning to the Sect, no one had come to find or disturb her.

If one had to say there was anyone, it would be Lin Ming, who called her every time it was time to eat; other than him, there was no one else.

No one? This actually made a slightly strange expression appear on Yu Yaoqin's face.

"What? Have some people in the Sect set their sights on my Junior Sister and are preparing to make a move?" Lin Ming looked at Yu Yaoqin and asked.

"I can't hide anything from you, Senior Brother," Yu Yaoqin smiled.

There was no need to hide it; Yu Yaoqin might as well have written the answer on her face.

As far as she knew, except for the Main Peak and Zichen Peak, Disciples from the other five peaks had started to take action, and many of them were already preparing to express their love to Su Lianxue.

Su Lianxue's stunning beauty, formidable background, and terrifying cultivation talent.

She had displayed her value to the fullest.

And someone should have taken action by now; why hadn't Su Lianxue been disturbed? That shouldn't be right. Could she be lying to her?

"No," Su Lianxue said expressionlessly.

Thinking about it now, on the way to the Scripture Pavilion after the mission ended, and on the way back from the Scripture Pavilion to Zichen Peak, there were indeed a few men who had blocked her path, wanting to invite her to eat or drink tea or something.

She had not paid any attention to them; she did not have the spare time to eat or drink tea with these people she did not know.

She also knew they must have other motives for approaching her. She simply ignored them.

Now, from Yu Yaoqin, Su Lianxue roughly understood the purpose of these people. Regarding this, Su Lianxue had two words for them: Boring.

Not focusing their minds on their own cultivation, and thinking about such things all day long. Yuanxu Mountain also had this type of Disciple.

"Who told my Junior Sister to be so outstanding," Lin Ming said, feigning helplessness.

"It is Junior Sister Lianxue who is outstanding, not you, Senior Brother," Yu Yaoqin said.

"What? Is your Senior Brother not outstanding enough now?" Lin Ming looked at Yu Yaoqin and retorted.

After all, on the surface, he was the number one in the Spirit Platform Realm of Yuanxu Mountain, and in reality, he was still a Nirvana Ancestor.

"Stinky Senior Brother, how are you outstanding?" Yu Yaoqin made a face and said.

She knew clearly in her heart that her Senior Brother was definitely outstanding, especially after he revealed his strength; now there were rumors in the Sect that Lin Ming was the number one in the Sect's Spirit Platform Realm.

There were only a few voices of doubt regarding this point.

These days, quite a few Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters she knew had come to ask her for information about her Senior Brother, but they had all been brushed off by Su Lianxue.

She could not sit idly by and watch her Senior Sisters and Junior Sisters fall into the fire pit that was Stinky Senior Brother; she had to protect them.

"Sigh, Junior Sister, you still don't understand," Lin Ming shook his head.

Yu Yaoqin was still too young and did not understand his charm. She would understand in the future.

"Tch," Yu Yaoqin said, feigning a look of disdain.

"Quite a few Disciples on my Shangyang Peak are also interested in Junior Brother Lin. If Junior Brother Lin is interested, I can help introduce them to you," Gong Hui said.

"Then there is no need to trouble Senior Brother Gong," Lin Ming immediately shook his head.

As for introducing Dao Companions or whatever, forget it. It was troublesome. Lin Ming had no thoughts in that regard.

Being alone was quite good; in his spare time, he could go to a brothel to listen to songs and enjoy the scenery. Although the number of times he had been to a brothel could be counted on one hand. But it was just for enjoyment.

Half a month later, Antai City.

"Once we cross this river, we will have left the sphere of influence of Yuanxu Mountain," Lin Ming said, looking at the rushing river before him.

Crossing this river meant exiting the sphere of influence of Yuanxu Mountain.

"After crossing this river, be careful in everything you do," Gong Hui said in a deep voice.

When acting outside, be careful in everything. Do not think that just because you are a Disciple of Yuanxu Mountain, or a Disciple of a Nirvana Ancestor, that you can act unscrupulously.

A Disciple of a Nirvana Ancestor, so what? It's not as if they haven't been killed before.

Life-saving measures? They can save you once or twice, but is it possible for them to save you countless times? Therefore, when acting outside, be doubly careful. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died when the time comes.

"I understand, Senior Brother Gong," Lin Ming nodded.

"Let's rest for a day today and set off tomorrow," Lin Ming said to the others.

They had basically spent this entire period on the spirit boat. Now that they had reached the border of Yuanxu Mountain, they should rest for a day before continuing.

The group immediately arrived at a restaurant in Antai City and casually found a large table to sit down at.

"Senior Brother, why didn't we get a private room?" Yu Yaoqin frowned and asked.

The noisy surroundings and some indistinct gazes made her feel a bit uncomfortable; when there were clearly private rooms available, why sit here?

"To listen and see if there is anything interesting happening in the cultivation world recently," Lin Ming said.

Although he could learn about the cultivation world from forces that specialized in selling information, Lin Ming still preferred to listen while eating in a restaurant. Perhaps he could even hear some gossip and interesting anecdotes.

"Have you heard? The treasury of the Inverse Demon Cult has appeared."
