Chapter 241: Chapter 230: Core Area, Investigating the Cleansing Spirit Pool
Senior Yue’s monologue was not lost on Lin Jing; he heard every word.
As for Senior Yue,
Lin Jing had no comment.
After all, it wasn’t his Spirit Stone that was being lost.
Afterward,
Lin Jing stayed a while longer.
Having received no more useful information, he then left the place.
Leaving Senior Yue’s dwelling, Lin Jing continued to explore deeper into the cave.
The cave was very deep.
However,
due to the limited range of the Observation Mode, Lin Jing ultimately did not find the Cleansing Spirit Pool.
Reluctantly, Lin Jing gave up the idea of seeking the Cleansing Spirit Pool for the time being.
Next,
Lin Jing continued to cultivate within the cave dwelling.
It wasn’t until two days later that Senior Han came to find him.
When Senior Han arrived,
Lin Jing was cultivating inside the System Space.
It was through the system’s reminder that Lin Jing knew of his arrival.
Afterward,
Lin Jing left the System Space and opened the stone door to go out.
Upon seeing Lin Jing, Senior Han spoke directly:
“Let’s go…”
“Follow me.”
Lin Jing, upon seeing Senior Han, was still puzzled and did not react at once.
Then he heard Senior Han explain:
“I’m taking you to the core area.”
“I’ve arranged a dwelling for you to cultivate in there.”
Upon hearing Senior Han’s words, Lin Jing was stunned for a moment and then nodded his head.
“Alright…”
Lin Jing knew there was no need for formalities with Senior Han.
Moreover,
Lin Jing did indeed need to head to the core area, as he still wanted to investigate the Cleansing Spirit Pool.
Now, in this inner area, the distance was simply not enough.
If he were in the core area, he estimated the distance would be sufficient.
Having said that,
Lin Jing followed Senior Han toward the core area.
On the way,
Senior Han spoke again to Lin Jing:
“This time, I’ve left you two days. You can cultivate in the core area until it’s time for you to leave.”
“During these two days, you should cultivate well.”
“Who knows, with some luck, you could improve the quality of your Spiritual Root.”
“Rest assured, Senior Han!” Lin Jing nodded in response.
Having said that,
the two of them proceeded along the passage.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance to the core area.
The route they took this time was different from the one Senior Yue took when Lin Jing used the Observation Mode to follow him.
And,
this time there were two disciples of the Qingyuan Sword Sect guarding the entrance to the core area.
Upon seeing Han Jing, they greeted him.
“Senior Han…”
Senior Han nodded, and then addressed the two:
“This is a disciple I used to know well. I’m taking him inside for some cultivation. He doesn’t have a token. I’ve informed you in advance; when it’s time for him to leave, just let him out.”
The two nodded to Han Jing and said:
“Don’t worry, Senior Han.”
Han Jing cupped his fists and said to the two men:
“Thank you both, junior brothers.”
The two men also cupped their fists in response:
“Senior Brother Han, you are too kind. We hope that after you become a core disciple, you can give us some guidance.”
Han Jing nodded and then said to them:
“Don’t worry.”
After saying this,
Han Jing cupped his fists again and said to the two men:
“Alright, junior brothers, we’re going in now.”
“Farewell!”
“Senior Brother Han, farewell,” the two men replied, cupping their fists in unison.
Then,
he walked in with Lin Jing.
After the two had entered,
the two disciples at the door began to discuss among themselves.
The one on the left said:
“Is the cave dwelling that Senior Brother Han applied for actually for this person’s use?”
“Who is this person, do you know him?”
The disciple on the right first peeked inside for a moment, then shook his head and said:
“Not sure, I haven’t seen him before.”
“But…”
“If Senior Brother Han does this, I’m afraid it will displease the elder.”
“The elder arranged this cave dwelling for him to cultivate properly, to improve his cultivation as much as possible before the sect’s disciple conference.”
“To secure a place in the top three in the grand competition.”
“Now…”
“He has given this opportunity to an unknown little cultivator.”
“Moreover, this person doesn’t seem to be the child of one of those big families from Immortal City.”
“I doubt he can offer much in the way of Spirit Stones.”
The disciple on the left nodded in agreement after hearing this.
“Indeed…”
“You know, renting this cave dwelling to other cultivators to earn some Spirit Stones, to buy a few more pills, would be much better than this.”
The disciple on the right said:
“Sigh…”
“Indeed!”
“Who knows what Senior Brother Han is thinking.”
“I guess this cultivator must have a special relationship with Senior Brother Han.”
The disciple on the left curled his lips and said to the one on the right:
“You’re stating the obvious…”
“Otherwise, how could Senior Brother Han treat him so…”
While the two were chatting leisurely,
Senior Brother Han had already brought Lin Jing to the entrance of a cave dwelling in the core area.
The two stood outside the cave dwelling.
Senior Brother Han took a glowing token from his Storage Bag with his hand.
Then,
he placed the token onto the stone platform at the entrance of the cave dwelling.
After the token was placed, there was a fluctuation, and then the formation opened.
Senior Brother Han stepped forward, pushed open the stone door of the cave dwelling, and walked in.
Lin Jing also followed after Senior Brother Han, heading inside the cave dwelling.
This core area cave dwelling was slightly larger than those in the inner area.
After entering the cave dwelling, Senior Brother Han handed the token in his hand directly to Lin Jing.
“You hold onto this token. When you leave, just return it to me.”
Lin Jing took the token and nodded.
Afterward,
Senior Brother Han gave Lin Jing some instructions, and then he left the cave dwelling.
