Subsequently, as Golden Core Cultivators arrived, some hidden cultivators also made their appearance.
At that moment, several figures flew in from the distance, their bodies emitting powerful auras, clearly all at the Golden Core Stage.
Seeing this, Wei Zhengqing spoke:
“Brother Lin, the Golden Core Cultivators of Fang Market have come. We can retract the Defensive Array now.”
Lin Jing nodded, withdrew the Defensive Array, and put the Array Plate into his Storage Bag.
The group of Golden Core Cultivators flew directly to the person in charge of the Inner Fang Market and stopped in front of him.
Afterwards, they seemed to discuss something, and then those Golden Core Cultivators dispersed.
Heading in different directions of Fang Market, it appeared they were preparing to eliminate the Demonic Beasts that had entered the market. “These Golden Core Immortals are finally taking action. We are saved.”
“Yes…”
“Thank heavens, someone has finally come to rescue us.”
Many people, watching those Golden Core Cultivators in the sky, were moved to tears, expressing their relief.
Among these Golden Core Cultivators, Lin Jing spotted a familiar figure.
It was none other than the Wu Cai Immortal they had encountered during the Flame Poison Centipede incident.
Previously, when asking Elder Yu about formations, Elder Yu had casually mentioned him, and that was how Lin Jing knew that the Wu Cai Immortal was also part of the team investigating the ca use of the beast tide.
Upon seeing him, Lin Jing understood that these Golden Core Cultivators were the ones who had gone to investigate in the Night Mist Mountain Range.
They had returned after completing their reconnaissance.
After these Golden Core Cultivators departed, some time passed before the defensive formation of the Inner Fang Market was finally activated.
Clearly, the Golden Core Cultivators had eradicated all the Demonic Beasts that infiltrated the market.
That night, good news spread from the Inner Fang Market.
The beast tide had been defeated, and there would not be any Demonic Beasts attacking Fang Market in the short term.
In the following days, reconstruction of the market ensued.
Due to the calamity of the beast tide, the population of the Outer Fang Market had diminished further, especially in the region where Lin Jing and others resided.
Later, Manager Jiang also paid a visit.
Lin Jing inquired about the beast tide incident with Manager Jiang.
After Manager Jiang’s explanation, Lin Jing finally understood the full story behind the incident.
Ordinarily, the defensive great formation would have been sufficient to keep the beast tide at bay, supplemented by the protection of the Guard Team. But unexpectedly, some of the Demonic Beasts feigned death this time.
The Guard Team was deceived due to their carelessness, which led to a lapse in defense and the subsequent breach of the great formation, allowing Demonic Beasts to storm into Fang Market and cause the tragedy.
The breach occurred precisely in the direction where Lin Jing and others were located, whereas the other directions remained unscathed.
As he recounted the events, Lin Jing thought of the Black Kite, an expert in
deception. Previously, it had tricked many people, with even Yan Xiong nearly falling for its trick.
“Fang Market is becoming less and less safe. If possible, it’s better to reside in the Inner Fang Market. It’s somewhat safer there.”
At the end, Manager Jiang also expressed his sentiments.
Those words deeply resonated with Lin Jing.
“It seems I need to seek out Elder Yu once again.”
In the last few days, Wei Zhengqing had also been busy, communicating with others and discussing arrangements for departure.
After the ordeal with the beast tide, many people felt that Fang Market was too dangerous, and numerous individuals sought to flee to safer places.
However, with the current unusual situation, the roads leading outside were perilous, and some saw a business opportunity in guiding people to safety.
One day, news came that Wei Zhengqing, through a previous acquaintance, had arranged passage with a group led by another Golden Core Stage Cultivator, and they were set to leave the day after tomorrow. Upon receiving the news, everyone was overjoyed.
In the end…
The day before their departure, they gathered together once more.
During the meal, Wei Zhengqing deliberately suggested that Lin Jing accompany them as they left, but Lin Jing refused.
The next day, as the group departed, Lin Jing watched them leave the Fang Market.
Watching them gradually fade into the distance, Luo Luo energetically waved her tiny hand, and Lin Jing suddenly felt hollow and uneasy.
As they receded farther and farther away, Lin Jing remained standing in the same spot…
The next day, Lin Jing visited Yuebaolou and met with Elder Yu.
“Kid, you’ve finally come.”
“I heard that the Defensive Array of the outer Fang Market was broken from your side, with such danger, how did you escape?” As soon as they met, Elder Yu asked Lin Jing.
Lin Jing bowed to Elder Yu and said,
“Elder Yu, thank you for the Array Plate. Without it, I would have likely died under the jaws of Demonic Beasts.”
After speaking, Lin Jing handed the Array Plate back to Elder Yu.
‘Elder Yu, now that the danger is over, please take back the Array Plate for now.”
Elder Yu took the Array Plate and said to Lin Jing,
“Although the beast tide has receded, the Golden Core Cultivators who went to explore the Night Mist Mountain Range say that it’s not completely over.”
“They found a valley filled with demonic aura deep in the Night Mist Mountain
Range, where many Golden Core Stage and even Nascent Soul Stage Demonic
Beasts are sleeping.”
“This matter has exceeded their abilities, and they didn’t dare act rashly, so they returned first and decided to ask the Qingyuan Sword Sect to intervene.”
“So, the outer Fang Market is still not safe.”
After finishing, Elder Yu looked at Lin Jing and said,
“To avoid such an incident happening again, I plan to move you to the Inner Fang Market first. We can talk about the Supreme Elixir later. What do you think?”
“Elder Yu, I have another matter to discuss with you.”
Lin Jing spoke and pulled out a porcelain bottle from his Storage Bag.
“I’ve already concocted the Supreme Elixir.”
“You concocted a Supreme Elixir?” Elder Yu exclaimed in surprise. “Let me see it.”
“Alright.”
Lin Jing passed the porcelain bottle to Elder Yu.
Elder Yu took the bottle, opened the stopper, poured the Elixir Medicine into his hand, and then observed it closely.
After a long while…
Elder Yu burst into hearty laughter.
“Hahaha…”
“I knew it; you kid, your talent is really something else.”
“From the first time you came here to now, it’s been just over a year, and you’ve been able to concoct Supreme Elixir Medicine.”
“Indeed, I knew it, my judgment couldn’t possibly be wrong.”
“In that case…”
“Now that you’ve concocted the Supreme Elixir, I’ll take you to meet someone.”
“As long as he agrees, you can become an Offering Pill Master of Yuebaolou, move into the Inner Fang Market, and won’t have to live in fear in the outer
Fang Market anymore.”
“Thank you, Elder Yu,” said Lin Jing.
“Come, follow me…”
After that, Elder Yu led the way, and Lin Jing followed behind him.
Thus, Lin Jing followed Elder Yu to the top floor of Yuebaolou. This was where the administrators of Yuebaolou were located, but at that moment, it was obscured by a Formation, making it impossible to see inside.
Elder Yu, with Lin Jing beside him, stood at the entrance and called out, “Elder Bai… the person I mentioned to you last time, I’ve brought him..”
