Chapter 7: Gold isn't easy to pick up either!

  In another room. "Yao sister, I see you're paying more attention to that Lin Tian? He's just an ordinary person!" Nan Gong Wan Er said curiously. Zhou Yao lowered her head and thought for a moment: "I always feel that he's not as simple as he seems on the surface, Wan Er, do you think if an ordinary person is with Zuo Yun Fei and the others, wouldn't they feel inferior? But Lin Tian didn't show any signs of inferiority, and when he saw us, he was also very calm!" Nan Gong Wan Er nodded: "You're right, I also find it a bit strange. Hehe, Yao sister, have you heard of a saying that when a woman becomes curious about a man, that's the beginning of her downfall? Yao sister, you've really fallen in deep!"

  Zhou Yao's eyes revealed a hint of confusion: "Wan'er, I'm not comparable to you. You're the darling of the Nan Gong family, and Grandfather Nan Gong dotes on you so much that you have at least some autonomy in your marriage. But me? I'm destined to be a sacrifice for our family's alliance through marriage!"

  "Yao Mei, don't be so pessimistic. Even among the young masters of aristocratic families, there are some very good candidates!" Qin Ke comforted.

  "Murong sister, what about you? What are your plans for the future?" asked Nangong Yu'er to Murong Xue. As they were good friends for many years, Murong Xue was not as cold towards Nangong Yu'er: "I only have one requirement, that is my future husband must be able to defeat me, otherwise even if it's family pressure, I won't get married!"

  "Nangong Yu'er stuck out her tongue: 'Muruong sister, this requirement is too difficult for people to achieve, right? I think my strength is also pretty good, but when comparing with you, I've never been able to hold on for more than ten moves. People like Zuo Yunfei and Xiao Bai, even among the nobles' children, are extremely outstanding, but their strength is probably about the same as mine. Your requirement is so high, be careful that in the future you might really end up not being able to get married!'"

  "If it's like that, I'd rather spend my whole life with a sword!" Murong Xue said calmly.

  "Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Everyone go rest for a few hours first, I reckon Left Cloud Flight and the others will arrange some activities tonight!" "Yes ma'am, Qin sister!" Nangong Wan'er made a show of bowing before entering her room.

  Lin Tian and the others returned to their rooms to rest, each with a computer that could access the internet. Lin Tian downloaded "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and found a passage describing Ling Po's micro-step. "'The scroll depicts the Bright Step method and notes the positions of the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching.' It seems that Ling Po's micro-step is related to the 64 hexagrams... Ah, it also mentions the Zhongzhong, Guanyuan, and Zhongji acupoints, as well as the Tongren, Daiyou, Guimai, and Weiji hexagrams!" Lin Tian searched his brain for information on the 64 hexagrams and the I Ching, but couldn't find anything about those acupoints.

  "He claimed to be a doctor and also claimed to be a martial artist, if he didn't even know the basic knowledge of acupoints, it would be unbelievable!" Lin Tian muttered to himself, hastily letting Xiao Ling download the knowledge of acupoints into his brain. This time, with his special care, Xiao Ling did not dump a large pile of data into his mind.

  "It's fortunate that I have Xiao Ling, otherwise it would take a long time to familiarize myself with these dense and complex meridians!" Lin Tian sighed. With only a few minutes of browsing through the data in his mind, Lin Tian had already thoroughly absorbed the knowledge about the meridians. However, knowing something was one thing, but actually applying it was another matter altogether. Identifying acupoints, stimulating acupoints - these were not simple tasks. Some acupoints only occupied a tiny area, while others were clustered together in groups of eight or ten, making it easy to accidentally stimulate the wrong point. And then there were also hidden acupoints and other such complexities!

  "Never mind, there's no rush for this. For now, just knowing is enough, at least others won't ask and I'll know what to say!" Lin Tian was open-minded and immediately stopped dwelling on the matter. "Xiao Ling, how much boundary power do I have currently?"

  "Master, your current boundary is four-dimensional!" said Xiao Lingdao.

  Lin Tian furrowed his brow: "This boundary power is really not enough, it's needed to increase physical quality, to increase spiritual power, to treat that child Du Ming's illness, and even to bring things out from the starry sky!" "Master, boundary power is a very precious thing, having ten units in one day is already quite good!"

  "I know!" Jing Lixuan, of course, was well aware of the preciousness of the boundary power. To cure someone like Duan Yun's congenital heart disease would require thirty levels of boundary power, and one level per day was already a lot! "Forget it, let's take it slow, you can't swallow an elephant in one bite!"

  Only four-dimensional boundary, even Duanyun treatment can't last long. Lin Tian didn't want to enter the world of Tiandong Eight Parts either. "Xiaoling, a very serious problem, my master is now very poor, what should I do?" Lin Tian asked aloud.

  "In your world, Master, gold and diamonds are extremely valuable, but in some civilizations, gold is just an ordinary thing, and diamonds are just slightly rare stones!" Xiao Ling said with a smile, "Master, as long as you enter such a world, it's easy to obtain a large amount of gold or diamonds, but taking them out of the starry sky requires consuming boundary power!"

  Lin Tian was initially delighted, but then furrowed his brow and said: "Xiao Ling, how much boundary power is consumed when bringing things out?" If the consumption of boundary power is too great, Lin Tian will have to consider whether it's worth doing so.

  "To bring out a kilogram of gold, the energy required is one dimension. With the same amount of energy, you can also bring out a diamond the size of a fist. Comparing their values, bringing diamonds would be more cost-effective. However, considering that such a large diamond would cause a huge stir and might put you in danger, I suggest you bring gold instead, Master. Gold can also bring you considerable wealth through underground transactions, and if we're careful, it won't expose your identity!" said Xiaoling.

  Lin Tian nodded: "One dimension is acceptable. Xiaoling, quickly find a world like that, I'll go there to pick up some gold!"

  "Alright, Master. Xiao Ling has found a planet with a highly advanced civilization for you. That civilization is rich in mineral resources and the mineral deposits are extremely high-grade, so there's no need to refine them at all. However, Master needs to be careful because although the people there look similar to you, their strength is far superior to yours, even the lowest-level Black Iron Warrior is much stronger than you!"

  Lin Tian focused his mind on the Star Ring, and his body instantly entered it: "Let's start, little spirit. I'll be careful, although there are still three chances to revive now, but wasting is a shameful thing!"

  "Master, transmission is starting. There may be a moment of discomfort, it's a normal phenomenon!" Xiao Ling said, and white light enveloped Lin Tian's body. The next moment, Lin Tian had already appeared in an unfamiliar world!

  A coarse linen garment, with a black iron long sword hanging from his waist, this is Lin Tian's current image. As for his original clothes, they were left behind in the Star Ring. In other words, he was **crossing over**, and it seems that Xiao Ling somehow managed to get him a set of coarse linen clothes. As for shoes, sorry, Lin Tian is currently barefoot!

  "It's a very strange feeling, it should be the language of Xing Ling that I've been implanted with, but it feels just as simple to use as Chinese!" Lin Tian was muttering to himself in the common language of this civilization, not in Chinese.

  "Little Spirit, where is the Golden Armor?" Lin Tian asked in his mind.

  Xiao Lingdao: "Master, although this civilization has many gold mines, it's not everywhere. Master, if you search carefully, you should be able to find one!" Lin Tian nodded and walked towards a nearby small hill. Standing on the hill, he could see the surrounding scenery clearly. If there was a gold mine somewhere, it would naturally not escape his eyes. Gold, after all, is something that shines!

  The small hill was not far from where Lin Tian was, just about 300 meters away. After four or five minutes, Lin Tian climbed to the top of the small hill and looked around. As expected, he saw a patch of golden light in the distance: "Gold! There must be gold there!" Lin Tian's heart suddenly became hot with excitement, as if he had found treasure. But treasures were usually buried deep underground, whereas these gold mines were scattered all over the ground!

  "It's estimated to be four or five thousand meters away!" Lin Tian looked at his bare feet and frowned, the ground was littered with scattered minerals, some of which were extremely sharp. Walking barefoot on these minerals for four or five thousand meters was really not a humanly possible task!

  "Xiao Ling, don't you have shoes?" Lin Tian asked in his mind.

  "Sorry, master, some old masters of the world have set things up, for example, like this world, when you first enter, all you have is a coarse linen robe and a black iron knife!" Xiao Ling said. Lin Tian sighed helplessly, the previous owner of the Star Ring was incredibly powerful, but he didn't expect such a bad sense of humor!

  "Damn it, just die if I have to. It's not like walking 4 or 5 kilometers barefoot is a big deal? We've already walked 300 meters, and for the sake of bidding farewell to poverty and entering a well-off life, I'll do my best!" Lin Tian gritted his teeth and stepped forward, naturally landing softly on the ground while watching where he was stepping. There were some rocks that looked like they could be sharp, but Lin Tian was determined not to test their hardness!

  The first kilometer is okay, a little painful but no bleeding, can bear it!

  At the second kilometer, both feet were scratched by a sharp stone and bled, dyeing the soles red. Lin Tian gritted his teeth to support himself!

  At the third kilometer, his soles were pierced by various sharp stones and were bloody and swollen. Lin Tian was sweating profusely at this time, but he was no longer doing it for the gold, rather to challenge himself. He just didn't believe that he couldn't even get through this short distance!

  At the fourth kilometer, Lin Tian used his knife to support himself as he walked.

  The last two hundred meters, Lin Tian's feet were already injured and could not move, can only be crawled, however, after twenty minutes, Lin Tian also crawled to the end! Panting heavily on the ground, Lin Tian burst out laughing: "Damn it, it hurts so much, but this little difficulty wants to defeat me? No way!"

  He had lost a significant amount of blood, and Lin Tian's face was somewhat pale. "Xiao Ling, which piece is about one kilogram?" "The one on your right side is almost that!" Xiao Ling said, "Master, you've lost a lot of blood, you need to return to the Star Ring immediately for treatment!"

  Lin Tian grasped the gold ingot on his right side and said, "Hurry up and let me go back! Not only did I suffer a great loss for this piece of gold, but it's also extremely painful. I estimate that it will take a lot of spiritual energy to heal my injured foot!"

  A faint flash of white light, and Lin Tian disappeared on the spot.

  "In the Star Ring. 'Master, healing your injuries will consume two units of dimensional energy, leaving you with only two units remaining!' 'Huh? Didn't we only have four units of dimensional energy in total? If we use one unit for that gold piece and two units for my leg injury, won't we be left with only one unit?' "

  "Master, during your time in Xingjie, the Star Ring has absorbed another dimension's power!" Xiaoling said, "Should we treat your foot injury immediately?"

  "Right away!"

  White light enveloped Lin Tian's injured feet and some other scratches on his body. "Comfortable, that damned physical repair world, from now on I won't enter unless absolutely necessary, not to mention the suffering, but also made me lose a lot!" Taking out that gold piece, although only one dimension was used up, two dimensions were used up just to treat the foot injury! This was something Lin Tian, who lacked boundary power, couldn't tolerate. Compared to the loss of boundary power, the suffering he endured was secondary!

  Ten minutes later, Lin Tian's foot injury and other scratches on his body had all disappeared, and the lost blood seemed to have been replenished. At least Lin Tian no longer felt dizzy from blood loss. "Xiao Ling, I'm going out! Leave the gold in this space." Lin Tian said.

  The next moment, Lin Tian appeared in the room, looking at the wall clock, it had already been three hours. At this time, the door of the room rang out: "Old Three, are you awake? Let's go out and have some fun!" Left Yunfei shouted loudly outside the door.

  Lin Tian stretched his waist, feeling everything was normal, and hurriedly opened the door to go out. Xiao Bai and Wei Feng also came out after resting well at this time, "Old Fourth, what's the activity tonight?"

  "There's nothing special to do, just accompanying the beauty to stroll around the street. Such treatment, it's not something ordinary people can enjoy!" Zuo Yunfei chuckled and said.

  Lin Tian furrowed his brow: "Fourth brother, you're not mistaken, are you? This is probably going to be torture rather than enjoyment. They're all as beautiful as heavenly beings, and once they hit the streets, wouldn't a huge crowd gather to gawk? If there are some unscrupulous people who take liberties with their hands and feet, the probability of trouble arising would be as high as 99%!"

  "No, it's not 99%, but 100%!" Wei Feng said in a bad tone, "If such a situation occurs, you'll be the one to take responsibility for it, Lao Si!"

  Zuo Yunfei chuckled and said: "With their skills, where would they need us to take action? If they don't make a move, others should be burning incense in gratitude!"
