Chapter 104: Tianxiang City!

  "Little lion, I've come to avenge my hatred!" Lin Tian leapt down from the tree, his curved knife raised high and slashing towards the demon lion's head. At this moment, the demon lion was at the critical point of controlling the tornado, and Lin Tian's attack made it greatly shocked and panicked. The tornado lost control, and the magic power backfired instantly. The demon lion was stunned for a moment, and the next moment it no longer had to suffer from the backlash of the magic power, because its big head had already been chopped down by Lin Tian with one knife. Of course, Lin Tian's sharp curved knife also became a dull knife!

  "Thanks to this brother for the help, we are grateful!" The young man said, "My friends all call me Karl!" "I'm Lin Tian, actually I've been here for a while, it's just that before you were at an advantage, so I didn't take action!" Lin Tian said.

  "Lin Tian hello, I'm Kitty, are you also from Noland Magic Academy?" Kitty said with a gentle smile.

  Lin Tian shook his head, pretending to be depressed and said: "No, I was harmed by an old man. He asked me to help him test space magic, but instead, he threw me here. When I first appeared, I was next to this demon lion and was chased by it for a while. Luckily, I ran fast. Can you tell me where this place is?"

  "This is the Broken Cloud Mountains near Tianxiang City, the Magic Kingdom!" Karl said. "Magic Kingdom? This is going to be fun!" Lin Tian's face was filled with a bitter smile. In his mind, Xiao Ling chuckled and said: "Master, you not becoming an actor is truly a great loss for the entertainment industry!"

  "Lin Tian brothers, it seems you are not from the Magic Kingdom, but don't worry, since you've come here, just have a good time and play around. When the time comes, taking the magic array back to your hometown is easy too. Lin Tian brothers, take this demon lion's core, the cost of the magic array is enough, as for the expenses of traveling in the Magic Kingdom, that's naturally on me!" Karl laughed.

  Lin Tian modestly said: "How can this be, killing the Demon Lion, your efforts are far greater than mine!" Karl sincerely said: "Brother Lin Tian, don't be modest, if it wasn't for you, we would have had to use precious magic scrolls, and the price of those is much higher than a small fifth-level demon core!"

  Katie also laughed and said, "Lin Tian, just take it, Karl doesn't lack gold coins. You should have heard of the Kastel Merchant Guild, they control a third of the continent's trade, they have so much gold that they can't even use it all!" Lin Tian thought to himself "I've never heard of them", but on his face was a faint smile, he nodded and said "In that case, I won't be polite then!"

  Under Xiao Ling's scan, the magic core in Mo Shī's brain was clearly imprinted on Lin Tian's mind. The snow-bright curved knife stabbed down and turned again, instantly creating a hole in Mo Shī's forehead. Lin Tian pulled out the bloodless curved knife and tapped it on Mo Shī's forehead. Under the action of a clever force, the magic core hidden in Mo Shī's brain suddenly flew up from the broken hole. Lin Tian stretched out his hand, and a water ball was instantly grasped by him. The magic core fell into the water ball. The water flow in the water ball rotated and quickly washed away the fresh blood on the surface of the magic core. When the water ball dispersed, a pale blue magic core slightly larger than a fourth-level magic core appeared in Lin Tian's hand!

  It took a long time to say, but the whole process was only about ten seconds. The smooth and flowing movements made Karl and Katy's eyes wide with amazement! "Awesome, Lin Tian brother, you're really good at this! I've seen many mercenaries dig out magic cores, but every time it's bloody and messy. You're like an artist!" Karl said, "And Lin Tian brother, your knife skills are so accurate and powerful, I'm not even worthy of carrying your shoes!"

  Katie curiously said: "Lin Tian, are you a martial artist or a magician? I feel that your water magic is much stronger than mine!" Lin Tian shrugged his shoulders: "I don't know if I'm a martial artist or a magician myself, I can do some martial arts and a little bit of magic!"

  "Magic and martial arts dual cultivation?" Karl frowned, "Lin Tian brothers, I've seen many people who cultivate magic and martial arts together, but the consequences of dual cultivation are that neither magic nor martial skills become refined, and in the end they become mediocre!" Katie gave Karl a white eye and said: "How can those people compare to Lin Tian? Haven't you seen that he is proficient in both martial skills and magic?"

  Karl chuckled and said, "That's also true. The dual cultivation of magic and martial arts has produced top-notch experts in the past, like Lang Fengyun from 300 years ago. Not only was he a Sword God of his generation, but he later cultivated magic and became the first Magic-Martial God in history!" "Lang Fengyun?" Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat as he thought to himself, "It can't be that coincidental, right? Could it be that Lang Fengyun has also crossed over into this magical world?"

  "Yes, Lang Fengyun is my idol! With his Rain Cover Sword Technique, it's hard to find an opponent who can match him! With his cultivation, living for five or six hundred years shouldn't be a problem, he must still be alive!" Karl exclaimed excitedly. Lin Tian smiled wryly in his heart, the Rain Cover Sword Technique, this was unmistakable, there wasn't such a coincidence in the world, Lang Fengyun had definitely come to this magical world after shattering the Void! "Rain Cover Sword Technique!" Lin Tian's heart was also stirred up, that was an incredibly awesome sword technique, if he could learn it...

  The three of them were all caught up in excitement, and for a moment, the scene fell silent!

  "Haha, let's not think about those unrealistic things anymore, Kitty. This time's experience is enough for us, our skills still need to be strengthened. Lin Tian, brother, Tian Xiang City is a beautiful city, and Nuo Lan Magic Academy has many beauties too! I'll introduce some to you when the time comes!" Karl started off seriously but ended up chuckling, while observing Kitty's expression, making Lin Tian laugh uncontrollably.

  Katie hummed: "Carl, it seems you know many beauties, why not introduce me too?!" Katie's words made Lin Tian certain that Katie and Carl seemed to have mutual interest, they just hadn't broken through the last layer of reserve yet!

  "Poor kid, why can't you be a bit bolder!" Lin Tian thought to himself as he looked at Carl. "Kati, I'm helping Brother Lin Tian get acquainted!" Carl said in a low voice, with that pitiful look on his face, making Lin Tian laugh inwardly, thinking that this guy would definitely be henpecked by his wife in the future!

  "Cough, cough, Karl, Kitty, you two are a couple, right? Watching you fight together, that tacit understanding is really enviable!" Lin Tian said with a smile. Karl's face suddenly turned bright red as he looked at Kitty, getting extremely nervous, while Kitty, who had always been elegant and refined, had her pretty face turn into a reddened apple!

  Suddenly, as if he had made some kind of decision, Karl took a deep breath and looked at Kitty with deep emotion: "Kitty, my heart's desire, I think you understand me, are you willing to let me protect you forever?"

  "I, I'm willing!" Kitty's voice was as small as a mosquito's, but Karl and Lin Tian were no ordinary people, their hearing far surpassed that of normal humans, so they naturally heard it clearly. "Hahaha, I'm too excited, too excited!" Karl burst out laughing loudly.

  Katie stamped her foot: "Laugh, laugh, don't you know how terrible it sounds? Like a monster's roar!"

  Karl's laughter stopped abruptly, and this time it was Lin Tian's turn to burst out laughing! "Haha, congratulations, congratulations!" Lin Tian said with a smile. Katie pouted and said: "Lin Tian, you did that on purpose, didn't you?!" Karl also reacted and laughed, saying: "Brother Lin Tian, thank you, thank you, all your expenses in the Magic Kingdom will be counted as mine!"

  Lin Tian tossed the demon core in his hand and laughed, saying: "I'm not used to letting friends spend money on me. Do you think I'd be short of gold coins? Just killing one or two demon beasts will keep me entertained for a while!"

  "That's also true, with your strength as Lin Tian's brother, you will be able to live very easily and freely wherever you go. My old man told me a long time ago that there may come a day when you don't have any gold coins on you, but as long as you have strength, there are gold coins everywhere!" Karl said.

  "Let's get out of here, this smell of blood is too hard to bear!"

  An hour later, the three of them had returned to Tianxiang City by horse-drawn carriage. Tianxiang City was filled with a faint, yet distinct fragrance everywhere. Karl smiled and said: "Lin Tian brothers, do you know why Tianxiang City is named as such?" Lin Tian shook his head, he knew nothing about this world!

  "That's because, throughout the entire Tianxiang City, Tianxiang grass is planted everywhere, which makes it easier for mages to meditate. The Tianxiang grass emits a faint fragrance that even envelops the entire city!" Karl explained, "The refreshing scent of Tianxiang grass not only helps mages meditate but also aids warriors in their training, although the effect is not as pronounced as it is for mages."

  Lin Tian listened to Karl's words while looking around, everything in this city gave him a sense of novelty! It was indeed the Magic Kingdom, where rare magicians from other countries could be seen everywhere, and one by one, mercenaries carrying large swords made his blood boil with excitement, if possible, he also wanted to experience mercenary life for a few days!

  "Karl, find a place to sell this magic core first, otherwise I'll have to rely on you for food and clothing, haha!" Lin Tian said. "Then I'm infinitely welcome, selling the magic core is easy, just find any store and they won't dare not give us a fair price with us around!" Karl said confidently. As the young master of the Kastor Merchant Association, which merchant would dare to cheat Lin Tian in front of him? That store would obviously be asking for trouble!

  The carriage stopped in front of a shop that bought magic cores, Tianxiang City had many magicians and the demand for magic cores was high, such shops were not uncommon!

  Although Lin Tian's attire wasn't impressive, Karl and Katie's outfits were extraordinary. As soon as the store owner saw them enter, he hastily welcomed them: "Two young masters, and this noble magic lady, welcome to our humble shop!"

  Lin Tian lazily didn't bother with nonsense and directly took out that fifth-grade magic core, saying "Sell!"

  The shop owner was also a discerning person, seeing Lin Tian didn't say much, and didn't waste any more words. He directly took over the five-level magic core and began to examine it carefully. After a while, the shop owner finally looked up and said: "This is a magic core of a demon lion, but the demon lion may have consumed a large amount of magic before its death, so its value is slightly lower. I'll give you 1,800 gold coins."

  Karl nodded slightly, also acknowledging the shop owner's offer. Lin Tian saw Karl like this and said very decisively: "Deal!"

  "Sir, please give me your magic crystal card and I will transfer the money into it immediately!" said the shop owner. One thousand eight hundred gold coins, equivalent to 180,000 RMB in purchasing power! Who would carry so much cash on the streets? So, it's all stored in the magic crystal card!

  But Lin Tian didn't have any magic crystal cards! "Karl, how did you get that magic crystal card?" Lin Tian asked Karl beside him. The shop owner took out a purple-golden card from the cabinet and said: "Since this young master doesn't have a purple crystal card on him, then use this one instead, it's an unbound Purple Gold Card!"

  "Master, a drop of blood can bind it!" Xiao Ling said in Lin Tian's mind. Lin Tian stretched out his finger, and a tiny water arrow shot out from the tip of his finger, a drop of fresh blood fell onto the purple gold card and quickly seeped into it. "Young master, then I'll start the transfer!" The shop owner said, inputting the amount on his own purple gold card, then touched it to Lin Tian's, a faint purple light flashed by, and the transfer was complete! "Young master, please check!"

  Lin Tian looked at the purple gold card and indeed saw the words "1800 gold coins" displayed on it. He nodded, and together with Karl and the others, they left the store.

  "Brother Lin Tian, it's already time for a meal. This first meal must be on me. On the one hand, I'd like to welcome Brother Lin Tian to the Magic Kingdom, and on the other hand, of course, I want to express my gratitude to you!" Karl said with a smile, glancing at Kitty beside him.

  Lin Tian nodded: "Okay, afterwards I want to go with you guys to the Noland Magic Academy and see if it's possible!" Lin Tian going there, of course, had the intention of stealing techniques. Who let him have a super awesome little spirit? As long as he saw a magic once, when his spiritual power was sufficient, he could use it out, this is a super cheat device!

  Karl said: "Of course that's no problem, hehe, Lin Tian brother, it seems you really want to see the beauties of Noland Magic Academy!"

  Three people enjoyed lunch in a very high-end hotel, and Lin Tian, who was dressed casually, received many disdainful glances. This almost led to Karl starting a fight right there in the hotel, but he calmed down after Lin Tian's persuasion. "Brother Lin Tian, those guys need to be taught a lesson, or they won't know what's good for them!" Karl said as soon as they left the store.

  "The other party doesn't make a move before I generally don't provoke them, but after provoking me, I generally let the other party not be able to provoke again!"
