Chapter 162 - Traveling Alone

Lin Xuan killed the three in a few seconds. Almost 10,000 Yin Spirits had already filled one percent of Lin Xuan’s progress… it was really slow.

“This little brat… I did not know he was a master.”

The middle-aged man moved closer to Lin Xuan out of curiosity to have a closer look at the legendary figure. Not bad, not bad at all. He had delicate features and a dignified look. Although Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, he didn’t change his face. Instead, he looked proud but not arrogant, this was how he imagined the elites of Taixia Country to look like!

The middle-aged mage changed his solemn look as he revealed a stiff smile.

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and handed a big bag of yellow-rank soul essences and cards to the older team.

“Thanks for your help. As a newcomer, I don’t know much about ghosts and spirits. How about these soul essences and cards as payment for the learning fee?”

Lin Xuan smiled. The quality of these soul essences and cards was average, and the quantity was not much. Moreover, the character of the three members of the hunting team had withstood the test of life and death, so they were quite reliable and could be befriended!

Having more friends meant more options in life!

“Ah, this, this is too much. No, no, you have to take it!”

The middle-aged mage was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize that the huge amount of money in his eyes was nothing to a prodigy.

“Alright, alright. The Yin Spirits have all been cleared out. Let’s hurry over and see what heavenly treasures are nurtured in theYin Spirit Pool.”

Lin Xuan did not give him the chance to retort. He ran towards the Yin Spirit Pool in a flash. Under the shroud of the Yin Spirit’s fog, these Yin Spirits that had been killed would slowly take time to revive. However, because they had all been cleared out by Lin Xuan, the revival time had been greatly extended. It would probably take a few days for them to recover.

The Yin Spirit Pool was really there. As he approached, he could feel the coldness of the pool water. The bone-piercing coldness was something that even Lin Xuan could not withstand.

After that, he activated the power of the two great bloodlines, the power of the Three-legged Crow, and the vajra body. Only then did he feel much more comfortable.

Lin Xuan looked towards the center of the pool and saw a few pink and white Yin Spirit lotuses swaying in the cold wind.

“It’s a Yin Spirit’s lotus. There should be some lotus roots at the bottom of the pond. They’re all good stuff!”

The middle-aged mage rushed over. To a mage, knowledge was power. He identified the extraordinary resources at the center of the pond with a quick glance. He even knew how to pick and preserve the resources that came with it

The lotus flower was delicate. When it was picked, it should break the lotus rod that was submerged in the water. Then, it should be placed in a long wooden box filled with some Yin Spirit Pool water.

The lotus root did not need to go through so much trouble. After digging it out from the bottom of the pool, it would be placed in a metal box filled with some Yin Spirit Pool mud.

It could be preserved for a long time.

The Yin Spirit’s lotus leaf was also a good thing. After it was dried, it could be used as medicine. Even if it was not dried, it could still be used to make a delicacy — firecracker chicken.

Anything and everything had a use!

If it was not for the sake of sustainable development, Lin Xuan would have wanted to drain the entire Yin Spirit Pool and take it away.

This caused the corner of the eye of an 18-year-old girl who had been paying attention to Lin Xuan’s actions all this while to twitch. This was all her assets!

“Should we go back together?”

After helping Lin Xuan deal with the extraordinary resources, the middle-aged mage stopped talking about those soul essences and cards. Those things could not be compared to the Yin Spirit’s lotus that he had obtained. However, he did not want it to be his business, he planned to exchange these resources for money and return them to Lin Xuan.

“No, I’m going to keep walking forward. It’s rare to come here, so I have to see the Gates of Hell in the Western Capital!”

Hearing this, the three people’s pupils contracted. In the Gates of Hell, there were close to a million Yin Spirits in the vicinity, and there were even several earth-rank Ghost Kings. That was definitely a restricted area!

“K-kid, listen, your life is more important. Let’s go back. I will treat you to authentic western home-cooked dishes.”

The man pulled Lin Xuan back and refused to let him go. It was evident that Lin Xuan was only a yellow-rank student. Even if he could kill a black-rank spirit, it was still dangerous to go.

Lin Xuan had no choice but to take out his trump card, “I have the Flame of Mount Tai!”

Only experienced hunters like them knew how much authority a flame of Mount Tai had in this boundless fog, it was said that someone had once walked to the other side of the River of Forgetfulness with the flame of Mount Tai!

Whether it was a rumor or not was unclear, but no one had ever heard of someone who had brought a flame of Mount Tai into the fog and died!

The golden card that exempts one from death!

“Well, the three of us are preparing to go back now. When you come back, come to the Parasol Tree. The three of us will treat you to meals there.”

The man was relieved when he saw the flame of Mount Tai. Before he left, he made an appointment with Lin Xuan to have a meal together.

As he watched the three of them walk further and further away, Lin Xuan tightened his clothes and wiped the rotten grass juice on his body again to hide the remaining life on his body. With a step, his body disappeared into the darkness, like a stealthy black cheetah, he quickly shuttled through the dense forest.

He got lost!

It was within his expectations.

Di Yi’s GPS signal was blocked by the Yin Spirit’s fog. Originally, it was still in a state of redirecting. However, the deeper he went into the fog, the more it completely lost its function. He could only open the map to see his position.

It was ridiculous. Moreover, he had to climb high and far to scout this godforsaken place. It was heavily condensed with fog. Other than being discovered by high-level Yin Spirits, there was no other use.

The stars could not be seen. In the direction of the sun, there had been no sunlight shining into this place for nearly 300 years.

He could only walk in one direction, hoping to find a recognizable landmark.

After going around in circles, Lin Xuan encountered quite a number of Yin Spirit gathering places along the way. Unfortunately, there were no obvious signs of what he was looking for. Moreover, the number of Yin Spirits was not enough to start a fight. Those that were though… were all easily killed by Lin Xuan. He gained some extraordinary resources along the way.

Lin Xuan’s expression was somewhat unsightly. Suddenly, he thought of something — the Lin sisters!

Using the party’s contract to sense the location of the two sisters, a straight line appeared in Lin Xuan’s mind. Then, he followed this straight line all the way forward.

He found it, the Jade Lake!

His luck wasn’t bad. This was a large-scale Yin Spirit gathering place that Song Ming had traded to Lin Xuan apart from the big four locations. The number of Yin Spirits exceeded 3000. There were black-rank ferocious spirits, black-rank evil spirits, and even a few black-rank great ghosts!

Time to dive in!

His entire body was burning with flames, and the bloody mist around him soared into the sky. Before the Jade Lake not far away could erupt, Lin Xuan held the Radiant Holy Shield and charged into it as if he had gone mad.

The surrounding adventurers once again looked at the bloody mist in the distance in shock. It was coming again. Whoever that was must be really fierce!

Countless Yin Spirits and ghosts attacked Lin Xuan as if they had gone mad. The counterattack skill could not reflect the impact of these Yin Spirits before the fourth innate skill was activated. However, the Solar Flare Domain still provided Lin Xuan with sufficient damage. For a time, the yellow-rank spirits suffered heavy casualties.

In the next moment, the black-rank ghost spirits attacked!
