Chapter 115: Qingyun Peak

  Lin San stretched out his hand to support Zhang Hongru and slowly placed him in a chair.

  At this time, Zhang Hongru's eyes were tightly closed, his face was slightly red, and he hung his head down, as if he had already fainted.

  Lin San stretched out his right hand and gently pressed it on Zhang Hongru's forehead, slowly closing his eyes.

  The room suddenly fell silent, with no sound at all.

  It took Lin San a long time to slowly open his eyes, take a deep breath, and remove his hand from Zhang Hongru's forehead. Earlier, Lin San had used his remaining immortal energy to erase Zhang Hongru's memories of the past three days. In fact, what Lin San did was extremely dangerous, and if it went wrong, it would have turned Zhang Hongru into an idiot, and he himself would have been counterattacked by the immortal law and become a useless person. However, for his own safety, Lin San had no choice but to do so, fortunately, in the end, Lin San succeeded narrowly.

  "Alas..." Lin San let out a gentle sigh, glanced at Zhang Hongru sprawled on the chair, and moved his lips slightly: "Professor Zhang, I'm really sorry today. When I have the chance in the future, I'll make it up to you properly." After speaking, he turned around and left the office.

  The sky gradually darkened.

  "Huh?" Zhang Hongru opened his eyes, slowly straightened up from the chair, and looked around: "Huh? How did I fall asleep sitting here?" Suddenly, a severe pain hit Zhang Hongru's head, "Ah!" Zhang Hongru couldn't help but cry out in pain, stretching out both hands to hold his head tightly.

  It took a long time for the pain to slowly disappear.

  "What's wrong with me?" Zhang Hongru wiped the sweat from his face, looking bewildered: "I've never had a headache before."

  "Ding ding ding." The clock on the wall suddenly rang out.

  Zhang Hongru looked up and said, "Ah, it's already past 7 pm? I actually slept for so long? I'm sure my family is waiting anxiously at home." As he spoke, Zhang Hongru stood up, walked to the coat rack, put on his jacket, and was about to leave the office. However, just as he took two steps out, Zhang Hongru's eyebrows furrowed, and he felt that something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. After racking his brain for half a day, he still couldn't come up with an explanation. Zhang Hongru sighed and shook his head, "I guess I'm getting old, my memory isn't what it used to be." With a sigh, Zhang Hongru walked out of the office, went downstairs, got in his car, and drove home.

  Hubei is an industrial province with annual economic output ranking among the top in China.

  Hubei Province has two industries that are famous all over the world, one is shipping industry and the other is tourism industry. The annual profit of these two industries accounts for more than half of Hubei Province's total economic volume.

  In the southeastern part of Hubei Province, on the border area, there is a large mountain range with over 100 peaks, with the highest elevation exceeding 2,000 meters and the lowest being over 500 meters. This region is known as the "Mountain Range Area". Due to the harsh environment and poor geographical location, almost no one wants to live nearby, and the government is also unwilling to invest in developing this useless mountain range, at most occasionally extracting some stones for use as building materials.

  In the middle of this vast mountain range there is a 1,000-meter-high extinct volcano called "Qingyun Peak".

  This afternoon, a dusty young man arrived at the foot of Qingyun Peak. The young man was tall and handsome, with thick eyebrows and big eyes that sparkled with sharp light as he blinked. He wore a grey casual suit, which was covered in dust, suggesting he had traveled a long distance.

  "It should be here." The young man looked up at the Qingyun Peak in front of him and muttered to himself.

  This young man is Lin San, who spent more than two days rushing from the capital to arrive here. Since learning about Qingyun Peak from Mao Pi, Lin San didn't dare to delay and drove all the way to Huhai Province.

  There is still one more thing to mention, Lin San had already understood from the fur that the green bead indeed hid a spiritual energy inside. To take possession of the spiritual energy inside the bead, he could only absorb it bit by bit and absolutely couldn't force it all at once. Lin San took advantage of the two days on the road to absorb some of the green bead's spiritual energy every three hours. By the time they arrived at the foot of Qingyun Peak, Lin San had already absorbed half of the green bead's spiritual energy. His dantian immediately became full and his realm was elevated to the early stage of the 10th layer of Qi Refining and Foundation Building. Lin San was very confident that as long as he could absorb all the spiritual energy inside the green bead, his realm would definitely break through to the later stage of the 10th layer of Qi Refining and Foundation Building, and then he could try to condense a Golden Elixir.

  The blue bead, after going through countless years, the originally hidden thick fairy energy was slowly leaking out. By the time it reached Lin San's hands, more than two-thirds of the fairy energy inside the bead had already been lost. If Lin San could have discovered the blue bead earlier, he would have gained even more benefits, but this was also an impossible event.

  Lin San rested at the foot of the mountain for a while, then began to climb Qingyun Peak. At this time, Lin San's body was full of immortal energy, and he could fully utilize his flying skill. In an instant, Lin San stood on the top of Qingyun Peak.

  At the top of Qingyun Peak is a huge cave entrance, bottomless and unfathomable. A gentle breeze blows into the entrance, producing a series of clear echoes.

  Lin San bent down and peered into the cave entrance for a few moments, but all he could see was darkness. He thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and then lightly jumped into the cave entrance.

  There is some dampness inside the cave and the air has a musty smell.

  Lin San slowly descended while cautiously observing his surroundings.

  "Thud!" Lin San's feet landed firmly on the hard ground, and he let out a breath. From his bosom, Lin San took out that blue orb, and in an instant, a blue light burst forth from it, illuminating everything around him with unparalleled brightness.

  "Shasha...shasha..." A faint rustling sound came from far away.

  Lin San was stunned, and when he looked up in the direction of the sound, his face changed suddenly. A large group of black spiders were crawling quickly towards him, each one as big as a fist, with bared teeth and a ferocious appearance.

  "Where did so many spiders come from, and why are they all so big?" Lin San was utterly astonished.

  A large group of spiders quickly crawled to Lin San's feet and were about to attack him with their sharp teeth and claws.

  Lin San furrowed his brow, waved one hand, and a green light flashed by. Dozens of spiders were instantly crushed into powder and disappeared without a trace in the wind.

  Perhaps intimidated by Lin San's bloody tactics, these spiders stopped in their tracks and did not attack again.

  Suddenly a sharp cry came, and the spiders instantly became frantic, crazily attacking Lin San.

  Lin San was shocked and stretched out his hand, waving a series of green lights at the spiders.

  These spiders were like madmen, completely fearless of Lin San's green light, and kept launching a frenzied attack.

  As time went on, Lin San became somewhat anxious. This couldn't go on like this; if he waited until the immortal method in his body was completely gone, he would definitely be eaten alive by these spiders. No, he had to think of a way to get rid of them.

  Lin San was using his immortal method to strike the spider while quickly observing his surroundings. Suddenly, Lin San's eyes lit up as he discovered a huge cave entrance on a stone wall diagonally opposite him. It was square in shape and very neat, just like it had been artificially excavated.

  "Hiss...". The spiders attacking Lin Three suddenly spat out webs together, instantly wrapping around Lin Three's legs.

  Lin San lightly shouted, his legs slightly trembling, and the spider silk was completely shaken off. He then lightly jumped, his body rising several meters high, quickly flying towards the mountain cave on the stone wall.

  A group of spiders below suddenly raised their heads and sprayed spider silk towards Lin San in mid-air.

  To avoid the spider silk, Lin San had no choice but to rise a few more meters. Soon, Lin San flew to the cave entrance and, without thinking, bent down and crawled into the cave.

  The cave is very spacious, the rocks inside are jagged and overlapping, emitting a chill that makes one's hair stand on end. What's most astonishing is that the top of the cave is inlaid with a row of glowing pearls, illuminating the interior to an extraordinary brightness.

  Lin San stood at the entrance of the cave, gazing in surprise at the scenery inside: "Did someone used to live in this mountain cave?"

  "Whoosh!" A white light suddenly shot out from one side and quickly struck towards Lin San's face.

  Lin San's body leaned back, his legs suddenly stiffened, and he slid to one side.

  "Bang!" A white light struck the ground where Lin San had just stood, producing a deafening crash.

  Lin San stabilized his body, looked up and was immediately stunned. He saw a spider the size of a millstone opposite him, its entire body blood red, with three golden fine lines on its back. A thread as thick as an arm was constantly stretching in and out of the spider's mouth, and the white light that had just attacked Lin San was actually the spider's silk.

  The blood-red spider stared at Lin San with a pair of big eyes, its posture as if ready to attack at any moment.

  Lin San stared with his mouth agape: "How can there be such a huge spider in this world? And it's blood red?"
