155 More Annoying Than Su Yier
The “commission” paid by the shopkeepers was where Lin Chengxing and other immortal city errand cultivators made the majority of their money. After realizing his appearance could easily make people trust him, Lin Chengxing had some devious thoughts.
Therefore, Lin Chengxing once tried it out. However, after getting more commission, he stopped it.
In his eyes, it was just a small profit.
Moreover, how could one not get caught if they did too many risky things? At that time, his reputation would be ruined, and he wouldn’t be able to work as an immortal city errand cultivator. He would even be beaten up by the cultivators, who were angry out of humiliation.
Therefore, Lin Chengxing decided to make a big deal out of it!
Obviously, he had succeeded.
Ten years ago, he killed a cultivator from a small cultivation family who failed to join the Fishery Sect. He had obtained the resources to break through to the early-stage Foundation Establishment from the other party.
After gaining benefits, he began to rope in people he could trust, robbing and killing along the way for ten years.
His cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds in these ten years, and he had broken through to rank 9 in the Foundation Establishment stage! Right now, he was preparing to collect resources to break through the Core Formation stage.
Of course, not every robbery went smoothly.
Lin Chengxing had also been injured several times, and two of the brothers he had roped in had died. One of them was the father of the Qi Condensation stage cultivator surnamed Xu.
However, for Lin Chengxing, the death of a brother wasn’t a sad thing.
In this way, he didn’t have to share that many benefits.
“Daughter, where are you going?” At this moment, Lin Chengxing saw Lin Xianer walking out.
Lin Xianer’s figure was graceful, her beauty akin to a fairy. Although she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, she was already a renowned beauty.
Lin Xianer replied softly, “Father, it’s time for me to learn alchemy again.”
Lin Chengxing didn’t suspect anything and didn’t forget to say, “Alright then. Oh, right! Go to Little Brat Xu again and comfort him. He has a kind appearance, so it’s much more convenient for him to get us information. Moreover, sometimes, we can gain many benefits from Qi Condensation stage cultivators!”
It was although Lin Xianer was initially against him doing such things, she gradually accepted it after a while. Especially now, she would even cooperate with him to do some things. It made Lin Chengxing extremely satisfied.
“Got it, Father.”
Lin Xianer replied softly before walking out.
Before Lin Xianer could walk far, she immediately heard a few “compliments” coming from behind her.
“Xianer is becoming more and more beautiful!”
“Forget it. Don’t mention that stupid woman.” It was Lin Chengxing’s voice.
“Speaking of which, doesn’t that kid from the Sun family view sex as his life? Why hasn’t that brat made a move on Xianer after she went to the Sun family to learn alchemy for so long?”
They immediately changed the topic.
However, they didn’t even bother to hide their conversation from Lin Xianer. It caused Lin Xianer to change her expression.
However, soon after, joy flashed in Lin Xianer’s eyes.
“Seems like my disguise has been good recently. They didn’t realize any of my changes and thought that I was the original Lin Xianer.”
“However, I don’t have much time left.”
“Fortunately, I have successfully learned how to refine spirit tools during this time. I can repair it simply. At that time, I can use the spiritual power inside to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in one fell swoop and immediately go far away.”
There was a secret in Lin Xianer’s heart. She wasn’t someone from the upper realm, but the spirit of an immortal treasure. It was only through sheer coincidence that she was able to obtain the body of a person from the upper realm
It was also because of this that it was both easy and difficult for her to break through her cultivation base.
The simple thing was that she didn’t need to cultivate as hard as ordinary immortal cultivators. As long as she kept repairing the immortal treasure, her cultivation would increase along with it.
After all, apart from not having some of the Immortal Ascension stage cultivator’s abilities, the immortal treasure was equivalent to the Immortal Ascension stage cultivators in terms of cultivation.
However, it was also the difficult part.
The restoration of the immortal treasure was relatively simple at the beginning because it only needed to awaken the remaining immortal talisman. However, what was needed later wasn’t just a large number of incomparably precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
It was because she still had to condense an immortal talisman!
It was the root of an immortal treasure.
“However, I still lack something that can awaken the immortal talisman.”
Lin Xianer pondered for a moment before looking for Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao was the Qi Condensation stage cultivator whom Lin Chengxing had addressed as “Little Brat Xu” and had “high expectations” for.
“Xianer, you said you wanted some stellar gold?” When Xu Xiao heard Lin Xianer’s request, he instantly frowned. Stellar gold was considered a precious spiritual item. Although it wasn’t extremely rare, it wasn’t cheap either. At the very least, it wasn’t easy for a Qi Condensation stage cultivator to obtain stellar gold!
However, he had saved up a sum of spirit stones for breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage, and the sum of spirit stones just happened to be enough to buy a small piece of stellar gold!
Hence, after making his decision, Xu Xiao turned to Lin Xianer with a gentle gaze, “Xianer, wait for me. I’ll bring you the stellar gold very soon!”
Half a day later, Xu Xiao shook off his pursuers and finally passed the stellar gold to Lin Xianer.
“Thank you, Brother Xu!”
Lin Xianer’s heart was filled with joy, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her snow-white face. It caused Xu Xiao to be stunned, and he felt that the spirit stones he had accumulated for so long were well spent!
Lin Xianer said, “I’m going back to refine spirit tools. Brother Xu, please keep this a secret for me.”
“Alright, no problem.” Xu Xiao readily agreed, not even bothering to ask why Lin Xianer chose to study spirit tool refining methods instead of alchemy.
After that, Lin Xianer left without any hesitation.
A day later, Lin Xianer successfully awakened an immortal talisman. Under the gift of the immortal treasure, Lin Xianer directly broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
However, things didn’t stop there. Her cultivation base improved rapidly and finally stopped at rank 5 in the Foundation Establishment stage.
“If I awaken two more immortal talismans, I will be able to break through the Core Formation stage. However, there are only seven immortal talismans left that are still intact…” Lin Xianer frowned. After that, she didn’t hesitate and immediately left the Moongazer Immortal City.
As for Xu Xiao, Lin Xianer had long forgotten about him.
That was because he no longer had any value.
Moreover, even if Lin Xianer didn’t mention her great future, just in terms of cultivation, Xu Xiao, who was only a cultivator who ranked 9 in the Qi Condensation stage, worthy her, who was already ranked 5 in the Foundation Establishment stage?
Lin Xianer’s departure didn’t cause any problems.
It was because many cultivators were entering and leaving the city every day.
However, Lin Xianer’s overly beautiful appearance left a deep impression on many cultivators. Hence, Lin Chengxing quickly found out that the daughter he had raised for many years, who he was prepared to make a fortune out of, had run away!
“What an ingrate!”
Lin Chengxing couldn’t help but curse in anger. But after that, he couldn’t be bothered about Lin Xianer anymore because the communication talisman that he had given out was finally showing signs of activity!
He was going to make a great fortune!
