Chapter 82 - 82: The Old Man in Black
He came to Lin An Hall to ask for the inner core of a fifth tier Infant Carp Beast and was just joking. But if there really was this inner core, he would buy it.
He did not expect to really encounter news of the Infant Carp Beast. Such luck was indeed rare.
“Sir, to be honest, some time ago, I heard that the square issued a mission to collect the inner core of a fifth grade Infant Carp Beast. Moreover, the person who issued this news even told me the location of the Infant Carp Beast. There are already many people heading there.”
” The person who issued the mission offered ten million low-grade spirit stones for a Tier 5 Infant Carp Beast’s inner core. Countless people accepted the mission. Although a Tier 5 demonic beast is powerful, there are still countless Martial King and Martial Spirit disciples who went. I even heard that there were Martial Grandmasters who went.”
The young shop assistant revealed the news of the Infant Carp Beast. This was also an open secret, so there was nothing to hide. Moreover, they would know once they went to the square.
It was just that this youth was still too young. He could not see his cultivation clearly. At most, he was a Warrior Spirit. If a Warrior Spirit youth went, he would only be courting death.
“I understand. This is for you.”
Li Lingtian stood up. Since there was such a piece of news in the plaza, it was only natural for him to step in if possible.
After saying that, he threw a storage bag at the young shop assistant. He didn’t want others to take advantage of him, but he wouldn’t easily take advantage of others unless it was a huge benefit. He didn’t want to take such a small advantage.
“Thank you, sir.”
The young shop assistant was taken aback. He bowed respectfully and thanked Li Lingtian as he watched Li Lingtian walk out. He scanned his storage pouch with his Divine Perception and found a hundred Spiritual Stones. For a Warrior like him, a hundred Spiritual Stones was already a lot.
However, he suddenly thought of something and was hesitant to speak. It was only when he saw Li Lingtian about to walk out of Lin ‘an Hall that he called out to Li Lingtian.
“Sir, if you want to hunt Infant Carp Beasts, it’s best to form a team. Moreover, without an expert who is familiar with the sea area to lead the way, you won’t be able to find the Infant Carp Beasts at all.”
Li Lingtian stopped and turned to look at the young waiter. “”Are you familiar with the sea?”
“There are also people from Lin An Hall who want to go to the sea area, but they are not strong enough. After waiting for a few days, they gathered a few good masters and plan to go to the sea area tomorrow.”
When the young waiter saw Li Lingtian turn around, he told him all the information as a form of repayment for Li Lingtian’s tip.
“Oh.”
Li Lingtian nodded and appeared to be deep in thought. He was puzzled. When he was searching for the Infant Carp Beast’s Inner Core, someone had issued a mission for it. Could it be that the Infant Carp Beast’s Inner Core was so popular?
“Sir, you are also going. I can introduce you to the martial uncles above. When the time comes, you can also go with them.” The young man looked at Li Lingtian. If Li Lingtian joined the team, he would be able to get a lot of tips.
“Tomorrow, right? Count me in. 1’11 be here on time tomorrow morning.”
Li Lingtian’s face cracked into a smile. Since he had nothing to do, it was not a bad idea for him to go out and broaden his horizons. Since there was someone to team up with, why not?
Lin An Hall even invited a Warrior Spirit disciple like him. He believed that they did not have many powerful experts. They would definitely use people like him as cannon fodder.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left Lin An Hall, leaving the young waiter with a dull face. He immediately reacted and walked towards the small door behind with a happy smile on his face.
The young waiter passed through a few corridors and finally arrived at a courtyard.
“Disciple Xiao Tian requests an audience with Elder.”
The young waiter, Xiao Tian, shouted at a room in the courtyard with a respectful expression.
“What is it?”
After a long time, a faint voice sounded. The voice was impatient, and it made Xiao Tian feel a chill outside. His face showed fear.
” I’ve found a warrior who’s going to kill the Infant Carp Beast. I’ll go with you tomorrow morning.”
Xiao Tian told him about Li Lingtian. He knew that if the elder was not interested in something, he would be dead for sure.
“You may leave.”
A faint voice rang out, and then the room was completely silent. Xiao Tian quickly left the courtyard. He left faster than he came, as if he wished he had two more legs.
After leaving the courtyard, he felt a trace of relief. After this elder came to the Lin An Hall, he did not have any good days.
” Hehe, 1 didn’t expect someone to come knocking on my door. Seven people are enough.”
In a room in the courtyard, a black-robed elder opened his eyes in a cloud of pitch-black fog. His eyes were blood-red, as if he was about to devour someone.
There was no spiritual energy in his entire body. On the contrary, it was filled with terrifying black qi. He was a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
Li Lingtian left Lin ‘an Hall and strolled around Xuan Ming City. He collected some sea maps and some daily necessities.
He had never entered the sea area before. Although he could fly on a magic tool with his cultivation, he couldn’t fly all the time in the vast sea area. Moreover, he always felt uncomfortable in the sea area. He had to prepare in advance to be safe.
After strolling on the streets for half a day, he returned to the inn to meditate and rest. He reviewed all kinds of cultivation techniques and skills. On the path of martial arts, it was like sailing a boat against the current. If he did not advance, he would retreat.
The next day, Li Lingtian opened the door and walked out of the inn in high spirits with a faint smile on his face.
In the backyard of Lin An Hall, six martial artists were already waiting outside. They had been here for more than an hour, but there was no impatience on their faces.
“Creak.”
With a soft sound, the door of the room opened. The six cultivators looked towards the room in front of them. Their faces immediately revealed respectful expressions, but they were even more worried.
A huge aura rushed over. It was the aura of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. An old man in his fifties walked out of the room. The old man was dressed in black from head to toe, leaving only a pair of eyes and white hair outside.
“Junior greets Senior.”
The six warriors bowed respectfully. Warrior Spirits and Martial Kings were worlds apart from Martial Grandmasters, so how could they be disrespectful?
“What about the other one?”
The black-robed old man’s sharp gaze swept across the six martial artists. Then, his gaze turned vicious. One person was actually missing. He was a dignified martial arts grandmaster, yet someone dared to make him wait.
“Senior, the six of us have been here the entire time.”
Li An asked in puzzlement. These few days, only the six of them had been here. There was no one else. Could it be that someone had gone to kill the Infant Carp Beast?
If it was for the spirit stones, they would not want to cooperate with this terrifying old man. The sea area was filled with dangers. If they were not careful, they would not be able to survive.
“Hmph, I’ll wait another half an hour.”
The black-robed old man coldly harrumphed. He then closed his eyes and stood there, his aura disappearing. If he hadn’t seen this old man with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed that there was a person in front of him.
To be able to hide his aura, this kind of terrifying cultivation made several martial artists extremely afraid..
