Chapter 1331, Chapter 1370, Chapter 1371: I Cannot Tolerate It! (Two-in-One)

"Master, I've inquired and found that Medicinal Pills here are the most valuable, surpassing even Magic Treasures. There's even a type of Puppet sold here. These Puppets vary in cultivation but are extremely popular. Once you imprint your Divine Sense, you can control them at will!"

Zhong Dahong spoke excitedly, one after another.

After Wang Lin arrived, he released Zhong Dahong to gather information about the place. After all, Zhong Dahong was from Primordial Stars, and investigating outside wouldn't arouse suspicion.

"And I haven't heard anything about the Primordial Stars Token here, Master can rest assured."

After releasing Zhong Dahong, Wang Lin had used a Divine Ability to check his Heart-Nature. After all, Wang Lin had destroyed the Flashing Thunder Clan, and Zhong Dahong, being a member of the Flashing Thunder Clan, might have had some thoughts.

But to Wang Lin's surprise, Zhong Dahong had no feelings for the Flashing Thunder Clan whatsoever. In his view, the Flashing Thunder Clan had never helped him, and instead, because of the Thunder Crystal matter, he often had to contribute. Furthermore, in Zhong Dahong's early years, all his cultivation relied on himself, and he had witnessed the harshness of his clansmen, leaving him with no sense of belonging.

Therefore, when he learned that following Wang Lin could make him stronger, he chose to leave the Flashing Thunder Clan without hesitation.

Although the Flashing Thunder Clan was annihilated, many of its members had left the clan over the tens of thousands of years to live elsewhere, especially in the Land of Falling, so it was not surprising to find Flashing Thunder Clan members here.

"Puppets?" Wang Lin spoke softly.

Zhong Dahong perked up and quickly said, "Master, these Puppets are extremely expensive here. I don't know what they're made of, but they can exert the power of a normal Cultivator, and it's said they even possess Divine Sense, which is truly marvelous."

Wang Lin's expression was normal. He had a slight interest in these Puppets. After a moment of contemplation, Wang Lin slowly asked, "Is there any news about the Fire Sparrow Clan?"

"There aren't many Fire Sparrow Clan members here. I haven't encountered any on this Cultivation Planet, but I've found out that most Fire Sparrow Clan members are on a Cultivation Planet not far from here that has a strong fire attribute. As for the specifics, I'm not too familiar with this place yet, but it shouldn't take long to find out," Zhong Dahong patted his chest and said repeatedly.

Wang Lin's eyes flickered imperceptibly. Although his Origin of Thunder had reached Major Achievement, the accompanying thunder still had some minor flaws. However, Wang Lin was confident he could fix this. The reason he was still in the dangerous Primordial Stars was for his Origin of Fire!

To achieve Major Achievement in the Origin of Fire and for the Vermilion Bird to Awaken again, he had to absorb a sufficient level of flame. The Fire Sparrow Clan was Wang Lin's first choice; he would never let them go easily.

However, the Fire Sparrow Clan would clearly not have the same coincidence as the Flashing Thunder Clan, where someone could help him break through all obstacles and infiltrate to become a Fire Sparrow Clan member, thereby slowly approaching the core of the Fire Clan. This was not very realistic.

Originally, Wang Lin's plan was like this, but now he was wanted by the entire Primordial Stars. In this situation, he would likely be hunted down before he could even infiltrate the Fire Sparrow Clan's core.

But despite this, Wang Lin had come up with a peculiar method. If successful, he could completely devour the Fire Sparrow Clan's flame power!

"Zhong Dahong, take my Medicinal Pills and buy a Puppet," Wang Lin pondered for a moment, then raised his right hand and flipped it, immediately revealing three Medicinal Pills in his hand. A fragrant aroma spread, filling the entire Immortal Cave. Zhong Dahong swallowed, looking at the Medicinal Pills, and quickly and respectfully took them.

Holding the Medicinal Pills, Zhong Dahong, with an obsequious smile, whispered, "Master, there are also Cauldron transactions here. Should I go…?"

Wang Lin frowned, and Zhong Dahong quickly shut his mouth, laughing dryly as he hurried away.

Stepping out of the Immortal Cave, a gust of wind blew, and Zhong Dahong's back was already soaked with sweat. Although there were opportunities by Wang Lin's side, Wang Lin's frown just now immediately made Zhong Dahong's heart skip a beat. He was extremely afraid of Wang Lin.

"In Master's Storage Space, Xu Ligou is too hateful. Relying on his high cultivation, he often bullies me. I, Zhong Dahong, remember this. One day, when my cultivation is sufficient, I will definitely make Xu Ligou pay!"

"Hmph, as long as I serve Master well, that day won't be far." Zhong Dahong held the Medicinal Pills, transforming into a long rainbow, and sped off into the distance.

He had been here for several days, and with his invincible Divine Skill and clever personality, he had already become acquainted with many low-level Cultivators here. After a short while, he arrived outside a valley, stopped, and loudly cupped his fists, saying, "Elder Brother Zhang, Zhong is here to visit."

The valley was very quiet, filled with many thorny plants, appearing somewhat desolate at a glance. Moreover, it was permeated with dense Yin Qi, and many animal bones were scattered on the ground, arranged in some kind of Formation.

Inside the valley was an Immortal Cave. This Immortal Cave had no door, but was shrouded in a black mist, making it impossible to see deep within.

As Zhong Dahong spoke, a sharp, strange laugh emanated from the black mist Immortal Cave. Immediately after, the black mist violently rolled outwards, spreading across the sky. At the same time, a gaunt old man in a black robe walked out of the Immortal Cave.

The old man's hair was disheveled, and his body was as thin as skin and bones. His eyes faintly showed bloodshot veins, making him look extremely ferocious.

"So it's Brother Zhong. You said you were going back to report to your master, I didn't expect you to return so quickly." The gaunt old man approached Zhong Dahong, speaking in a sinister tone.

Zhong Dahong's expression was normal. With a smile, he flipped his right hand, taking out one of the three Medicinal Pills Wang Lin had given him and flicking it towards the gaunt old man.

The old man's eyes suddenly narrowed. He immediately took it and examined it carefully, his expression changing instantly to one of ecstasy.

"This is a High Grade Medicinal Pill!! It's perfect for my cultivation, extremely rare! Brother Zhong, this…"

Zhong Dahong laughed heartily, cupping his fists and saying, "It's nothing. My master doesn't even look at these kinds of Medicinal Pills. I see that Elder Brother Zhang's cultivation has been hovering at the Late Stage of Soul Transformation for a long time, so you must be in urgent need of Medicinal Pills. Just take it."

The gaunt old man took a deep breath, no longer being polite, and carefully put away the Medicinal Pill. He glanced at Zhong Dahong and whispered, "Brother Zhong, your master's cultivation, could it be…?" The gaunt old man hesitated, then added, "Could it be Yin and Yang Void Reality?"

Seeing that the other party was discussing his master as he expected, Zhong Dahong immediately showed an extremely respectful expression and whispered, "My master's cultivation is heaven-defying. Even I don't know how high it is, but I've personally seen that even a Nirvana Scrying Cultivator would die with a single strike in front of him!"

The gaunt old man gasped. He didn't dare to analyze the truth or falsehood for a moment. Regardless of truth or falsehood, he couldn't afford to provoke someone who could casually give away such Medicinal Pills.

"Brother Zhong has great fortune. Following such a master, your cultivation will surely be smooth sailing in the future. Don't forget to give me, Zhang, a hand," the gaunt old man said, his eyes filled with envy, as he cupped his fists.

"That's easy to say. This time, Brother Zhong has come out and actually needs Elder Brother Zhang's help," Zhong Dahong said with a smile, cupping his fists.

"Brother, just say it. As long as it's something I, Zhang, can do, I won't hesitate," the gaunt old man quickly said. He had met this Zhong Dahong several days ago. The other party was very generous, clearly of extraordinary Origin, and the Medicinal Pills made him envious, so he wanted to snatch them. But his cautious nature led him to approach and inquire, and he learned that the other party had a master behind him.

He knew he couldn't contend with someone who could have a Soul Transformation Cultivator as a subordinate, so he suppressed his greed. Moreover, Zhong Dahong was very articulate and had given him many Medicinal Pills, and gradually, with their respective intentions, they became acquainted.

Originally, this Elder Zhang had some suspicions, but now seeing the other party casually give away such Medicinal Pills, he found his master even more unfathomable.

"Elder Brother Zhang mentioned Puppets before. I went back and told my master, and my master wants to buy a Puppet… Elder Brother Zhang also knows that I'm new here and not familiar with this place. I hope Elder Brother Zhang can guide me to make things easier. After it's done, I'll have a thank-you gift," Zhong Dahong's eyes flickered imperceptibly, and he looked at the other party with a smile.

The gaunt old man hesitated upon hearing this, then whispered, "Brother Zhong, these Puppets are not easy to buy… If it were on the main star, it would be fine, but here, Puppet transactions are controlled by the Dark Scorpion Clan. This Dark Scorpion Clan is extremely overbearing, and the prices are several times higher. Are you sure you want to buy?"

After seeing Zhong Dahong nod, the gaunt old man pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, then I, Zhang, will take you there once!"

Saying this, he led the way, speeding off with Zhong Dahong.

To the west of this Cultivation Planet, there was an abandoned city, with ruined walls everywhere, surrounded by a desert. Although it was dilapidated, it was extremely lively, with many Cultivators coming and going.

The gaunt old man was clearly quite familiar with this place. He quickly led Zhong Dahong into the city, and at the entrance of a relatively intact grand hall, they cautiously walked in.

This grand hall was in the center of the city, but there were very few Cultivators around it. It seemed that Cultivators who came here were very wary of this grand hall and would not easily enter, often going around it.

Many Cultivators watched Zhong Dahong and the old man enter, and many of them secretly shook their heads.

As soon as he entered the grand hall, Zhong Dahong's body trembled. He immediately felt a chill rush at him from all directions. His cultivation was completely unable to resist it, and the cold Qi instantly invaded his body. His face turned pale, as if a heavy hammer had struck his heart, and he retreated several steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The Elder Zhang was slightly better, but his face was also bloodless. He quickly fell to his knees with a thud and urgently said, "We Juniors have no ill intentions; we just want to buy a Puppet."

The hall was quite large, and in the very center was a statue. This statue was entirely black, and it was a massive, ferocious scorpion with its tail raised, emanating a chilling cold. The Yin cold aura that made Zhong Dahong spit blood was emanating from this scorpion.

"Want to buy a Puppet? With you two small Soul Transformation Cultivators, what can you offer to buy a Puppet!" A cold voice came out, and a person walked out from the back of the grand hall.

Chapter 1072

This person was dressed in black, appearing to be around forty years old, with a gloomy expression and disdain in his eyes. On his glabella, there was a ferocious Scorpion Clan Seal.

The scorpion was lifelike, as if truly existing. It slowly squirmed, its tail swaying gently, giving off a sense of strangeness and demonic charm!

Zhong Dahong took a deep breath, quickly bowed, took out a Medicinal Pill Wang Lin had given him, respectfully handed it over, and whispered, "Junior wishes to exchange this pill for a Puppet."

The middle-aged man's expression remained unchanged. He grabbed into the Void Realm with his right hand, immediately seizing the Medicinal Pill. He casually glanced at it, but upon this glance, his expression instantly changed. Ignoring Zhong Dahong and the other man, he held the pill to his nose for a sniff. Then, his Divine Sense swept through it, and his pupils immediately contracted.

"It's actually a Soul Pill!" The middle-aged man's gaze swept over Zhong Dahong, and he slowly asked, "How many more do you have?"

Zhong Dahong gave a wry smile and whispered, "There is one more." As he spoke, he took it out and presented it without waiting for the other party to ask.

Holding the two Medicinal Pills, the middle-aged man continued to scrutinize Zhong Dahong. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze. In his view, the other party must have encountered some good fortune to acquire such pills, and surely wouldn't have many. Two pills of this kind were already a large amount.

Nodding, the middle-aged man waved his right hand. His Clan Seal on his brow instantly flashed, and in a flash, a Puppet indistinguishable from an Immortal Master appeared before him.

This Puppet had no Clan Seal on its brow, its expression was dull, it lacked any spiritual nature, and it possessed no vitality. Only a chilling, sinister aura permeated it, appearing to be at the Early Stage of Soul Transformation cultivation.

"These two Medicinal Pills can only be exchanged for this type of Puppet. The two of you, scram." The middle-aged man turned and hurried toward the depths of the main hall.

Only after he left did Zhong Dahong and the skinny old man look at each other, both seeing the fear in the other's eyes. Zhong Dahong felt a faint regret; he had not expected that merely exchanging for a Puppet would nearly lead to a life-or-death crisis.

He quickly stepped forward, put away the Puppet, and hurriedly left with the skinny old man.

As for the middle-aged man, after entering the depths of the main hall, he stomped his right foot, and his entire body immediately sank into the ground. It turned out that there was a separate domain beneath the hall.

Like a tall Pagoda buried underground, the main hall was merely the tip. The middle-aged man quickly arrived at the second highest floor. On this second floor, a scorpion statue was likewise enshrined, and a young man sat cross-legged upon it.

The young man seemed to be absorbing the statue's power while breathing. After the middle-aged Cultivator entered, the young man opened his eyes.

"Young Lord, just now two Soul Transformation Cultivators brought these two Medicinal Pills!" The middle-aged Cultivator said, quickly handing over the pills. The young man had an arrogant expression. He picked them up, glanced at them, and slowly spoke:

"Soul Pills… their grade is ordinary, but the souls inside are passable. Nothing to make a fuss about. Capture one of those minor Cultivators, injure the other, and leave a Divine Sense Brand on him to see where he goes! Don't bother me with such small matters in the future." The young man closed his eyes and paid no further attention to the matter.

The middle-aged man bowed in agreement and instantly flashed away from the location.

Zhong Dahong and the skinny old man hurriedly left the city. In mid-air, the skinny old man gave a wry smile and said, "Brother Zhong, the Dark Scorpion Clan is extremely tyrannical; no one on this planet dares to provoke them. We were lucky today to even exchange for a Puppet. If…" Before the old man could finish speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared straight ahead.

Zhong Dahong was startled, but immediately felt his scalp tingle. Without hesitation, he rushed forward, intending to flee.

A cold snort echoed from within the heavens and earth, followed immediately by two streaks of black light speeding towards Zhong Dahong from behind. One streaked directly toward the skinny old man, who had no power to resist and was instantly captured amidst a cry of agony.

The other streak of black light instantly caught up to Zhong Dahong and imprinted directly onto his back. Zhong Dahong's face immediately turned black with Qi, he spat out fresh blood, and fled frantically in a state of Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

The figure of the middle-aged man from the Dark Scorpion Clan materialized in the sky. He coldly glanced in the direction Zhong Dahong fled, turned, grabbed the skinny old man who had fainted, and vanished, returning to the Dark Scorpion Clan's main hall.

Zhong Dahong's face was extremely pale. The life-or-death crisis he just experienced made him clearly realize that the danger here was simply incomparable to that of the Flashing Thunder Clan.

"Exposing the Medicinal Pills… sigh… I handled this wrongly. Not only did I implicate Fellow Daoist Zhang, but I almost caused a major disaster." Zhong Dahong used almost all his speed, flashing toward the Immortal Cave where Wang Lin resided.

"cultivation! If I had powerful cultivation, cultivation like Xu Ligou's, none of this would have happened! I, Zhong Dahong, must become strong!!" Zhong Dahong gritted his teeth, filled with uncertainty. An hour later, Wang Lin's Immortal Cave mountain peak appeared at the edge of his sight.

Stepping onto the mountain peak, Zhong Dahong showed a bitter expression. His body swayed as he entered the Immortal Cave, and the moment he landed, he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

Wang Lin was sitting cross-legged, breathing. The instant Zhong Dahong entered, he opened his eyes, and a sharp light flashed within, like a bright lamp falling directly onto the staggering Zhong Dahong.

"Where is the Puppet?" Wang Lin slowly asked.

Zhong Dahong was bloodless. In silence, he waved his right hand, and the Puppet immediately appeared beside him. Wang Lin raised his right hand and grabbed into the Void Realm; the Puppet flew directly toward him, floating in the air before his body.

After scanning it with his gaze and examining it carefully, a strange light appeared in Wang Lin's eyes.

"This thing…" A moment later, Wang Lin retracted his gaze, waved his right hand, and put away the Puppet. He spoke casually, "What happened to your injuries?"

Zhong Dahong remained silent for a long time, then quietly recounted the entire incident. Finally, seeing Wang Lin's expression gradually darken, he lowered his head and said bitterly, "Master, this was my recklessness. If I had grasped more information about this place, such a thing wouldn't have happened. Fortunately, the Puppet was obtained, which counts as fulfilling Master's request… As for my injuries, I should be able to recover after a period of secluded cultivation."

Seeing that Wang Lin did not speak, but instead looked even gloomier, his heart trembled, and he whispered again, "Master came to the Land of Falling originally to avoid pursuit. This small matter, I can endure…"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Wang Lin let out a cold snort, and his face instantly turned even paler.

"What a vicious method. Even if you undergo secluded cultivation for a long time, you won't easily recover. This person severed the trajectory of your cultivation circulation within your body and even left a Divine Sense Brand…"

Zhong Dahong's body trembled. He clenched his fists but quickly released them, remaining silent.

"You are my person. You can endure it, but I cannot!" Wang Lin stood up and walked toward the exit of the Immortal Cave.

Zhong Dahong suddenly looked up, staring blankly at Wang Lin, his eyes involuntarily reddening as he whispered, "Master…"

"Lead the way now!" Wang Lin did not turn back, speaking coldly.

Zhong Dahong took a deep breath, killing intent flashing in his eyes, and stepped forward without hesitation, leading Wang Lin straight toward the city! Wang Lin found his speed too slow, so as they moved forward, he raised his right hand and grabbed into the Void Realm. Guided by Zhong Dahong, they moved with the speed of thunder, shattering the heavens and earth amidst booming sounds as they rapidly departed.

At this moment, all the Cultivators on the entire Cultivation Planet felt a tremor originating from their souls. The heavens and earth changed color, the earth roared, and the wind and clouds rolled backward!

In just a moment, Wang Lin brought Zhong Dahong above the ruined city. He released his grip, allowing Zhong Dahong to stand beside him. Zhong Dahong's spirit was roused. He pointed at the main hall in the city below and whispered, "Master, the Dark Scorpion Clan is right there!"

Wang Lin's gaze was like a torch as he swept his eyes across the city below from the sky.

"Within three breaths, this city will be destroyed. Those who are uninvolved, leave quickly!"

His voice was like startling thunder, booming as it descended directly below. The sound transformed into an air wave, creating an earth-shattering noise, and causing the abandoned city to violently shake, kicking up massive amounts of dust and fog!

The expressions of the Cultivators within the city suddenly changed drastically. Some were even violently shaken until they spat blood. At this moment, they sped away frantically at their fastest possible speed without hesitation.

Inside the main hall, the middle-aged man sat cross-legged in the depths. Beside him, the old man surnamed Zhang was pale, his eyes showing fear, and he was about to continue begging for mercy. It was then that Wang Lin's voice boomed in.

The middle-aged man's eyes snapped open, revealing horror. His body shook, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and immediately stood up.

It wasn't just him; inside the Pagoda beneath the main hall, all the Dark Scorpion Clan Cultivators who were undergoing secluded cultivation and breathing exercises on every floor quickly opened their eyes, stood up, and showed expressions of shock.

Even the young man on the second highest floor trembled, his face instantly turning pale. The sound had actually penetrated the earth and landed directly here, causing the entire Pagoda to shake.

Three breaths passed instantly. Wang Lin raised his right hand and slammed it down. The heavens and earth roared. Endless thunder and lightning boomed in from all directions, forming a massive Lightning Net that covered the sky and earth, rushing straight toward the city on the ground as Wang Lin pressed down with his right hand.

The thunder was endless, creating scenes that shocked the souls of all the Cultivators rapidly fleeing the city. A colossal sound boomed, the earth trembled violently, and a storm swept across the area. The Lightning Net had descended, shattering everything in the city. Even the main hall exploded with a crash, and the entire abandoned city vanished into thin air.

The ground cracked open with countless Rifts, sinking deeply by a hundred zhang!

This caused the Pagoda hidden underground to clearly expose more than half of its structure! The spire had already collapsed. Inside, the old man surnamed Zhang stared blankly at the sky, and when he saw Zhong Dahong, his soul roared.

"He… he is Zhong Dahong's Master!?"

The middle-aged man next to the old man surnamed Zhang was even more dumbfounded. This scene was so sudden that he hadn't even had time to react.

Wang Lin slowly descended, standing inside the main hall whose roof had collapsed. Zhong Dahong followed behind him, his eyes filled with excitement and agitation.

"Is he the one who injured you?" Wang Lin pointed at the middle-aged man who was frozen on the spot, and looked toward Zhong Dahong.

The update is late, there were reasons… too unpleasant to mention.
