367: Chapter 367 Completed in One Go

"Is this what you call sincerity?"

Lin Ming looked down from above at Young Master Liu, who was kneeling in front of the inn's main gate.

Many people in the surroundings were also watching this scene.

Because his identity had been exposed, the Liu Family was forced to take the initiative to come to his door and apologize.

If his identity hadn't been exposed, this Young Master Liu probably wouldn't be kneeling here, but would instead be finding ways to continue causing trouble for him.

Lin Ming couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Young Master Liu.

His figure then vanished from within the room.

Lin Ming left Dongchao City at an extremely high speed and arrived at the location of the great ocean.

"This direction."

A map appeared in Lin Ming's hand.

After comparing it with the map, he confirmed the direction and the location where the sea abyss flowers grew.

There were many people in Dongchao City who made a living from the sea; they even possessed information on the locations of underwater factions and fixed resources.

By paying a small price, Lin Ming successfully obtained the location of the sea abyss flowers.

Entering the Sea

Lin Ming dove directly into the great ocean.

He headed straight down, arriving at the land beneath the sea.

With the pressure at this intensity, ordinary humans would certainly have no chance of survival.

Lin Ming estimated that only a practitioner of the Spirit Treasury Realm would have a Physical Body strong enough to bear it.

Stepping onto the undersea continent, Lin Ming moved forward rapidly.

Until he saw the Merfolk Clan; squads composed of the Merfolk Clan were patrolling the surroundings to prevent any living beings from entering.

These squads composed of Merfolk had a minimum strength of the Spirit Treasury Realm, and the closer they were to the interior, the stronger their strength became.

There were Merfolk of the Bitter Sea Realm and even the Other Shore Realm.

Lin Ming also saw a Great Rift Valley ahead; along the interior sides of this Great Rift Valley grew many sea abyss flowers.

The sea abyss flowers that Lin Ming needed.

Several Merfolk were constantly swimming about, searching for mature sea abyss flowers and collecting them as soon as they ripened.

"The mature sea abyss flowers here are almost ready."

Lan Sui stood above the Great Rift Valley and spoke to the Merfolk beside him.

"The collection can be completed today; after this, it will take five years."

Lan Ji said.

Once they finished collecting the mature Blue Abyss Flowers here, it would take five years for new Blue Abyss Flowers to mature.

And the number of Blue Abyss Flowers they were harvesting this time wasn't many, only nearly twenty stalks.

"Then prepare to go to the next location."

Lan Sui said.

The sea abyss flowers grew in more than one place.

Beneath this boundless ocean, there were certainly many places where sea abyss flowers grew.

It was just that the Sea Race also knew about the growth locations currently known to humans.

They even knew about places that humans didn't.

If one wanted to avoid them and search for new growth locations for sea abyss flowers, it wasn't impossible.

But that would mean continuing to travel further into the depths of the ocean.

Going deep into the ocean and moving further away from the continent was even more dangerous for humans.

There weren't just stronger members of the Sea Race, but even Sea Beasts.

Sea Beasts, simply put, were Yao Beasts without intelligence; their level of sapience was no different from ordinary wild beasts.

But the strength of these Sea Beasts was not so simple.

"You bastard."

Young Master Liu was thrown heavily onto the ground.

Traces of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, but his expression revealed a hint of fear.

"I... I didn't know."

"Didn't know?"

Liu Shu spoke with a Face full of anger.

What a fine 'didn't know'.

"Is someone from Yuanxu Mountain someone you can afford to offend?"

Yuanxu Mountain.

If it were just an ordinary Disciple, it would be fine; he could still find a way to settle it.

But it just so happened that this person was Master Yun Hua's Disciple.

The Disciple of a Nirvana Ancestor was not someone they could afford to offend.

Lin Ming's identity was eventually exposed.

As Lin Ming stayed in Dongchao City for a longer period, someone eventually recognized his identity.

At the same time, the matter of Young Master Liu provoking Lin Ming that day was also spread, reaching the Liu Family and Liu Shu's ears.

They even suspected that the matter with Uncle Quan might be related to this.

"I've warned you repeatedly not to offend people of unknown identity, yet you treat my words like wind passing your ears, don't you?"

Liu Shu said coldly.

If it weren't for the fact that Young Master Liu was his son, he would already be a corpse by now.

"Father, I was wrong."

Young Master Liu said with a trembling voice.

"Wrong."

Liu Shu said expressionlessly.

Wrong?

This wasn't something that those two words could solve now.

Although Lin Ming hadn't looked for trouble with the Liu Family yet, it didn't mean he wouldn't.

One had to know that Lin Ming had been staying in Dongchao City without leaving.

This meant there was still a possibility of Lin Ming seeking trouble with them.

"Father, Uncle Quan has passed away."

At this moment, a young man walked in; he completely ignored Young Master Liu and walked up to Liu Shu.

"Keep the funeral simple, but the treatment for his Family must not be lacking."

Liu Shu said.

"Understood."

Liu Yu nodded.

Uncle Quan was gone, passing away peacefully, sent off personally by the Family.

Uncle Quan was now a cripple, with only a single breath of life hanging on.

It wasn't that he couldn't be saved, but the price to save him was a bit too expensive, and even if he were saved, he would still be a cripple.

There was no point in saving a cripple.

And so, with the tacit consent of the crowd, he was sent on his way.

This useless son of his.

Because of him, the Family had lost a practitioner of the Spirit Treasury Realm and the important position of Vice Commander of the City Patrol Bureau; most crucially, they had offended Yuanxu Mountain and the Disciple of a Nirvana Ancestor.

If he could, he even wished he could trade Young Master Liu's life for Uncle Quan's.

He certainly had to give Face to the Canghai Sword Pavilion.

Otherwise, he might not even be able to walk out of Dongchao City.

But now it was basically confirmed that the person they were looking for was inside the Huaqing Pavilion.

This time, they had to take the person back no matter what.

The matter ended just like that.

This left the surrounding people feeling bored.

They all dispersed one by one.

Meanwhile.

Inside the room where Lin Ming was.

The room door was opened once again.

This time, the one who opened the door wasn't Li Zhiting, but another beautiful woman.

She walked straight into the room.

"Madam Yi."

Upon seeing Madam Yi, Lan Qin greeted her.

Madam Yi was the person with the highest authority in the entire Huaqing Pavilion besides the Chief Manager.

"The boss likes to disturb others, and the employees are the same."

Seeing this, Lin Ming opened his eyes and complained.

Can't they just let him enjoy himself for a bit?

"The Chief Manager's order was for me to deliver a letter to you."

Madam Yi took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Lin Ming.

"A letter? Are you sure it's for me?"

Lin Ming asked back.

"That's right."

Madam Yi nodded.

"Where is your manager? Is there something that can't be said in person?"

Lin Ming continued to ask.

"The manager already left the Huaqing Pavilion two days ago, and their whereabouts are unknown."
