Chapter 22: Departure
Seven days were fleeting, and soon came the day when Lin Ming and them set off.
"Brother Lin, are you awake?" As soon as the day dawned, Qin Yan came to knock on the door, looking at this appearance, people who didn't know him thought they had a good relationship.
Lin Ming has been using cultivation methods instead of sleep since last night, and it's not that he can't sleep. Originally, he wanted to sleep, after all, there was the Red Emperor Tuna, and even if he was asleep, he could ensure the improvement of his cultivation, but Jin Ming was inspired by Lin Ming's medication that day, and asked Lin Ming to try the usual cultivation method internally, and the Red Emperor Tuna, externally, to see if he could achieve the superimposed cultivation effect.
The result was expected, all night long, Lin Ming could even feel that his cultivation was getting stronger, although he had not yet broken through the fourth level of the Qi Refining Period.
"What's the matter...... Woke me up so early in the morning. Lin Ming yawned and opened the door, although it was said that replacing sleep with cultivation could also allow the body to rest, but there would always be a little loss of spirit.
"It's nothing, it's just that today is the day of departure, I'm afraid you'll forget. Qin Yan smiled and reached out to hug Lin Ming's shoulder, but he avoided him.
"Senior brother is really anxious, isn't the scheduled time for departure noon?" Lin Ming asked, "If I set off at noon, I can still take advantage of this time to cultivate." ”
"Brother Lin is really diligent...... However, cultivation can't be too tight, and you need to relax once in a while. Seeing that Lin Ming seemed unwilling to let himself touch him, Qin Yan awkwardly withdrew his hand and smiled, "And the departure time has been changed to morning, originally we thought that the location of the red mound had been discovered, and the departure at noon was just enough to catch up with the peak of yang energy, even if there was any guardian in the tomb, the strength would be greatly weakened, who knew that after receiving the map last night, I found that the map was only given a rough location, and it was not very easy for us to find it." ”
"I see...... Didn't you report this to the Mission Hall? Lin Ming said.
"Of course I declared, but the so-called compensation is only twenty more Juyuan Stones, originally we were also going for that exclusive weapon, and everyone is not short of such things as Juyuan Stones. When Qin Yan said this, he suddenly patted his head and exclaimed a little exaggeratedly, "That's right! I almost forgot that Brother Lin had just entered the inner door, and he didn't have much chance to earn Juyuan Stone." Otherwise, I'll compensate you for my share of the Juyuan Stone, right?"
"This ......," Lin Ming looked embarrassed, "not very good." I'm a cultivator in the triple Qi refining period, and I can't be of much use in the first place, so it's good to be paid, but I really can't afford my senior brother's share. ”
"It's okay, you just think of it as a friend's sponsorship. Qin Yan said generously, reaching out to pat Lin Ming's shoulder, but was dodged again.
"Well, let's go. Lin Ming stood up and walked towards the door, while Qin Ming frowned and left.
The two of them came to the predetermined meeting place and found that the other five people had all arrived, except for a strange man who was wrapped in a black robe, Lin Ming had basically seen the others.
But this made him feel strange, two came from Danwang Pavilion, one from Qi Yuxuan, and even one from Tianxianglou (of course, he himself was also a cultivator). If you want to say that, wouldn't it be that Qin Yan's power is all over the entire Guiyun Sect? That would be a bit terrifying.
"Yo, this is the last person Qin Yan said, right? My name is Mo Daoming, and his name is Mo Daorong. The man who looked a little older in the Danwang Pavilion said.
"My name is Shi Ning. The big guy from Ji Yuxuan smiled innocently, Lin Ming felt that this name was not suitable for him at all.
"My name is War Spirit. Tianxianglou said lightly, and after saying this, he didn't speak again.
......As for the black-robed man, he didn't say a word.
"Alright, now everyone is here. Let's go first. Qin Yan said with a smile, and then, they walked towards the Immortal Forest together.
About half an hour later, everyone could already see Immortal Feng standing in the distance. Qin Yan made a gesture and motioned for them to stop first.
"What?" Mo Daoming asked, "We shouldn't have reached our destination yet, right?"
"Ladies and gentlemen. Qin Yan's face was a little not good, "There are some unexpected situations that have happened. ”
"What's wrong?"
"I think you must be curious why we were able to determine the location of Akatsuka...... Because someone had gone in before, and there was a positioning talisman in his hand. Qin Yan's face was not very good-looking, "Originally, the spirit rune could accurately display its own location, but when its display expanded to a vague range, I thought that the owner of the spirit rune was already more auspicious......"
"And now?" the black-robed man spoke for the first time, his voice hoarse, like the howl of a hundred-year-old corpse.
"Now it's showing a precise point again...... But it's moving. Qin Yan became more and more nervous, "The speed is very fast, and it is rushing towards us. ”
"All of you, get ready for battle!" the big man roared, reminding everyone present, and they each took out their weapons and looked vigilantly in the direction that Qin Yan said.
"It's close...... It's close...... It's getting closer......" Qin Yan muttered, he didn't take out anything, just kept shaking.
"Qin Yan, don't rub it off! You must know that you said you would take the lead in this mission!" Seeing Qin Yan's so decadent appearance, Mo Daorong couldn't help but step forward and grabbed him by the collar and forcibly made him stand up.
"Okay, Ah Rong, now is not the time for infighting, our primary enemy is the guy who carries this spirit rune, although I don't know what kind of creature it is, but such a fast movement speed is obviously not something that ordinary cultivators can have. Mo Daoming frowned and stepped forward to stop Mo Daorong's impulsive behavior.
"But......" Mo Daorong glanced at Qin Yan, who was trembling, and let go of him with a look of disgust.
"I think we'd better borrow the talisman in his hand and take a look...... If we can't determine the enemy's location and cause some of us to be attacked, that's not going to be easy. Lin Ming said.
"I see...... Huh?" Shi Ning stepped forward and took off the spirit rune from Qin Yan's hand, but when he saw the spirit rune, his expression was dull.
"What's wrong?" Lin Ming felt a little wrong and asked.
"This is ...... There's no light at all, huh?"
