Chapter 64: Master Rock
When Lin Dong woke up from that strange state, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat. He looked at the Qiankun bag in his hand with a thumping heart, unable to understand why that scene had appeared.
Fortunately, spiritual power is invisible and colorless. When I was drawing the talisman earlier, no one else saw it either. Otherwise, it would have attracted a lot of strange glances.
"Is this Dan pill what you're selling?"
Just as Lin Dong let out a silent sigh of relief and put the乾坤袋 into his bosom, preparing to leave, a soft voice suddenly came from beside him, causing him to pause. He turned his head to see a girl in a light red dress standing at the counter nearby, waving a bottle in her hand.
The girl's appearance is very beautiful, with a small cherry-like mouth, slender willow eyebrows, and a tall figure. Everything about her attracts the fiery gazes of many men. However, the only thing that's somewhat regrettable is that her beautiful face is filled with a cold and detached air. Moreover, the girl's every move exudes an aura of nobility, clearly indicating that she is either wealthy or of high social status.
Behind the girl, a middle-aged man followed, although he didn't say a word, Lin Dong could feel a kind of pressure emanating from him, that pressure, he had felt it before on Lin Xiao and others, obviously, this man who was like a bodyguard, possessed the strength of the Tianyuan realm.
"What?" Lin Dong's gaze flickered towards the girl, though he was also somewhat surprised by her beauty, but didn't lose his composure, only slightly puzzled.
"This Dan pill is very suitable for people who are cultivating their bodies, my sister just happens to need it. If you have any more, I can buy a large quantity from you at a price that will make you very satisfied." The girl looked at Lin Dong, but he didn't seem out of the ordinary, and his unfamiliar appearance suggested that he wasn't a young master from one of the major powers in Yanjing.
Lin's eyebrows slightly raised, although the other person's tone made him feel somewhat uncomfortable in his heart. However, he could tolerate this much and spread out his hands, saying: "That's it, I just happened to pick this up once when my luck was good. If you're interested, next time I find something, I can go look for you."
Upon hearing this, the young girl's slender eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. Lin Dong's tone of speaking also made her feel somewhat unnatural. In this city of Yanjing, she heard flattering and obsequious words every day, but such insincere flattery was indeed rare to encounter.
"Heh heh, Qing Xue, if you need dan medicine, just let me know and I'll take care of it. Do you need to find someone else to buy it?" Just as the girl furrowed her brow, a sudden burst of laughter echoed out, and then Lin Dong saw a handsome young man in brocade robes hurrying over.
When she saw that man appear, the girl known as Qingxue's cheek flashed a hint of impatience.
By the side, Lin Dong saw this scene, but shook his head, really didn't have any interest in entangling with these young masters and ladies who lived in luxury, turned around and left. However, just as he turned around, a figure blocked his way, Lin Dong looked up to see that it was the middle-aged man behind the girl.
"What do you mean by this?" Lin Dong's expression also sank, and he turned his head to look at the girl.
"I want this dan pill, you should still have some." The red-clothed girl said.
"Hmph, you still want to rob me?!" Upon hearing this, Lin Dong couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. This girl looked pretty, but unexpectedly she was so arrogant and detestable. Did she think that giving her everything was the natural order of things?
"I said I'll give you a very satisfying price." The red-clothed girl frowned, apparently not understanding why Lin Dong would react so strongly.
"Hehe, my friend, if Qingxu has taken a liking to this item, then give it to her. You should have heard of the Yan Cheng Liu family? Having many friends means having many paths...” The man who walked over, seeing the red-clothed girl insist on buying the danwan from Lin Dong's hand, also smiled and walked up, speaking in a low voice to Lin Dong.
"Flaming City Liu Family?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong finally realized that the Liu family was a major clan in Yan City, with power only second to the City Lord's Manor, the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce and the Blood Wolf Gang. It turned out that they were also one of the influential forces in Yan City, no wonder this young girl had such an arrogant attitude, it seemed she had such a background.
"Sorry, those dan pills were indeed obtained by me unintentionally, and if you want them again, I won't be able to take them out."
Lin Dong shook his head again and ignored the man's slightly gloomy face, turning around and walking away.
"Halt!"
Seeing Lin Dong's actions, the handsome young man's face also turned pale and red, and he immediately let out a cold shout, his palm reaching out to grab Lin Dong's shoulder.
"Get out!"
The strong wind coming from behind also made Lin's heart surge with a burst of fire, his powerful yuan force rapidly gathering in his fist, and then he counterattacked with a punch, colliding with the man's palm wind.
Bang!
The strong wind blew, and the forest shook its shoulders, trembling for a moment, as if to shed that force. Meanwhile, the handsome young man took a step back.
"This person's strength is actually also in the late stage of the local domain!"
Dong Lin was also taken aback, clearly not expecting that this oily and powdery guy actually had some skills.
Compared to Lin Dong's astonishment, the man's heart was undoubtedly stirred up by a stormy wave. His strength, although not top-notch among the young generation of Flame City, was still considered decent. However, he didn't expect that his previous move couldn't even be handled by a youth who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old!
One punch sent the man flying, and Lin Dong's figure also quickly retreated. Just as he was retreating, the Heavenly Yuan stage expert on the side suddenly made a move, his large hand resembling an eagle's claw, swiping down at Lin Dong's head.
Seeing that day, the Yuanjing high-handed indeed took action. Lin Dong's face was also somewhat gloomy, and the yuan force in his dantian quickly surged out, while his hands were also rapidly forming complex seals.
"Boom!"
However, just as Lin Dong was preparing to unleash his strongest move and exchange blows with the early-stage Tian Yuan realm expert, the middle-aged man who had rushed over suddenly stopped in his tracks. A burst of soft energy exploded in front of him, sending him flying backward.
"In the Qiwu Building, fighting is prohibited, don't you know this rule?"
It was a sudden scene that also made Lin Dong somewhat stunned. Turning his head, he saw an old man in gray clothes, who had appeared behind him at some unknown time.
"Rock Master."
The red-clothed girl and the handsome young man, as soon as they saw this grey-robed old man, the proud look on their faces suddenly disappeared like a change of face, and they became respectful and courteous, making Lin Dong understand that this old man was probably not an ordinary person.
"Master Yi, Qingxu was rude, I hope Master will forgive."
Looking at the girl with a respectful expression, the old man in gray clothes casually waved his hand and didn't pay much attention to her. His gaze was fixed tightly on Lin Dong in front of him. After a moment, he suddenly stretched out a withered finger and lightly pointed it at Lin Dong's brow.
Seeing the old man in grey's movement, Lin Dong was shocked and wanted to dodge, but it was a frightening discovery that he had lost control of his own body at this moment.
The old man's fingers, the next moment, stopped at Lin Dong's eyebrow, and then he clearly felt the exceptionally lively and dynamic spiritual power in the latter's mind. On the old face that was not smiling, a hint of surprise appeared.
"Little guy, are you interested in becoming a symbol master?"
The old man in gray's next sentence, however, was enough to stiffen the smiles on the faces of the red-clothed girl and the man beside her.
(Maintained three updates a day for eight days without any stockpiled drafts, it's really not easy. Each chapter of the new book has only over 2,000 words, but writing it is more difficult and time-consuming than writing 3,000 words per chapter for "Dou Po".)
These two days I wanted to sort out various plots, so the update is not that sufficient, please forgive me.
PS: Just finished coding in the wee hours, took a look at the recommended list and found that it's only a few hundred votes away from being overtaken. It's getting critical! Can't force everyone to vote for Wu Dong, so I'm hoping some brothers and sisters who are willing to vote for Wu Dong can lend their support, thank you!
