Chapter 81 – Stealing the Foundation (1)
The sword was extremely ancient. It emitted an evil aura, making it impossible for anyone to look at it. After a long time, Wang Lin slowly woke up. His eyes lit up as he gained a bit of understanding.
Three days later, the entire Teng Family City was filled with flowers as thousands of cultivators walked the streets. Zhang Hu and Wang Lin had set off early in the morning and were wandering around the city.
Because Zhang Hu needed to sell ginseng, he left after talking with Wang Lin for a while.
Wang Lin walked slowly through the town, looking at all the stalls. Some items really caught his eye, but the prices were too high, so Wang Lin left.
As he was walking, he suddenly stopped. In front of him was a cultivator’s stall displaying various flying swords, jade pieces, and thread-bound books.
There are a few small words in the book. “Basic formation research”
“Formation?” Wang Lin rubbed his chin and picked up the book. The small book was quite thick. There were about 50 or 60 pages in it.
The stall owner was a man in his thirties. He raised his head and said slowly, “Ten medium-grade spirit stones for this book. If you’re not buying it, don’t touch it carelessly.”
10 mid-grade spirit stones were all Wang Lin had on him at the moment. After flipping through the book for a while longer, he saw that the stall owner was getting impatient, so he put down the 10 mid-grade spirit stones and left.
He checked a few more stalls and found some wood element materials, but they were all very expensive. There was even a piece of ironwood, but the price was very high.
A day had passed before Wang Lin realized it. He returned to the inn and, just as he was about to step inside, he raised his eyebrows and stopped.
Usually at this hour the inn is very busy, but right now it is very quiet.
Wang Lin spread his divine sense and his face suddenly changed. There was a mysterious force around the inn that prevented Wang Lin’s divine sense from entering.
Without a word, Wang Lin’s body immediately retreated. He surrounded his body with a pulling technique, and his body shot back dozens of meters like a sword.
“What’s this? Your reaction is quite fast.” A slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded as a person walked out of the inn. This person was 25 or 26 years old and wore a white robe with black vines embroidered on the cuffs.
He stared at Wang Lin, who was quickly retreating. He sneered and said, “Teng Jia, Teng Yi, you two wait here for that kid, Zhang Hu. Destroy his cultivation, then throw him into prison while I capture this agile brat.”
As he spoke, two shadows shot out and appeared beside him. They were two old men with wrinkled faces. One of them said, “My lord, these two people are in Teng Family City. This is against the rules. If the chief asks…”
The white-robed man frowned and looked at Wang Lin. He said, “If my grandfather asks, just tell him the truth. Zhang Hu had outside help to kill his own teacher. How could I let such people get away with it?”
Saying this, he waved his sleeve and his body floated into the air as he quickly chased after Wang Lin.
The two old men stared at the young man before leaving, then disappeared without a trace.
Wang Lin unleashed all his power and pushed himself to his limit to escape. Just as he saw the city walls, several shadows suddenly appeared and shouted, “Flying is prohibited in Feng Family City. Fellow cultivators, please stop!”
Without a word, Wang Lin took out a gourd. He didn’t have time to worry about the secret of the spirit water that came out as he took a deep gulp. Spiritual energy filled his body as his speed exploded and he shot forward.
The expressions of the Teng Family followers who were blocking Wang Lin’s path suddenly changed. Wang Lin charged in while using his pulling technique to throw the followers aside.
Like an unstoppable force, Wang Lin broke through. Because of his actions, more than 100 Teng Family disciples riding various treasures chased after him.
Wang Lin felt extremely bitter inside. He still didn’t really know what had happened. He didn’t know what had happened at the inn that had caused those people to wait for him there. If he had been a little slower, he would have been caught.
As for Zhang Hu, Wang Lin could only hope for the best because he himself was in danger.
After leaving Teng Family City, Wang Lin continued to run south while the Teng Family disciples chased after him. Suddenly, a rainbow-colored light shot out from Teng Family City. The light passed through all the Teng Family disciples and shot toward Wang Lin.
A large, almost unreal flying sword appeared and slashed at Wang Lin. At that moment, lightning gathered into countless balls and fell with the sword.
Wang Lin’s scalp went numb as Situ Nan shouted, “This is a Nascent Soul level treasure! Wang Lin, withdraw all your divine sense. I’m going to teleport you away!”
Blue crystals quickly spread from the crystal in Wang Lin’s hand and covered his body. As they did, the giant sword fell. The sound of shattering earth echoed, and balls of lightning fell, creating a wave of lightning.
Wang Lin’s body disappeared as the giant sword fell. His body reappeared 300 meters away and he immediately flew away.
Situ Nan’s voice was weak as he scolded Wang Lin. “That little bastard is already at the Foundation Establishment stage at such a young age. If you were at the Foundation Establishment stage, I could borrow your body and use some techniques. But now, with your mere Qi Condensation cultivation level, no matter how much I help, I can only get rid of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment.”
Teng Li frowned, but then smiled. “You’re the first person below Core Formation to escape my attack. If it weren’t for Brother Jimo asking me to do this, I really wouldn’t have wanted to kill you.”
Wang Lin didn’t even turn his head as he rapidly fled. The consumption of his spiritual power was too great. Without hesitation, he took out a gourd and gulped it down as his speed increased.
Teng Li’s eyes turned cold and he said, “I want to see how many times you can teleport!” With that, he pointed his finger at Wang Lin. The sky darkened and the giant sword reappeared.
