Chapter 164 - 112 Good Player in Difficult Situation 2
Lin Yi waved his hand, “You guys go ahead; we’d like to stay here by ourselves for a bit.’
After these women cultivators left, Old Huang suddenly laughed. He said weakly, “Little Lin, I want to thank you for fulfilling my last wish. Even if l, Old Huang, have to die, 1 can’t die a coward in my home.”
“Cough, Old Huang, it would be better if you died at home. If you died at this Xian Delight Pavilion, I would have to compensate them.” Lin Yi coughed and spoke.
Old Huang couldn’t help but laugh, “Purf, you, you’re just as thrifty as me. You won’t even let me peacefully die.”
Then he said quietly, “Thank you. I was able to enjoy myself a bit before my death. Let’s go.”
Lin Yi gently nodded, activated the Wind Transformation Technique to support Old Huangs body and left Xian Delight Pavilion.
As they left, Old Huang couldn’t help but wave farewell to the girl in the purple dress, “Little Sister Xiao Qing, I’ll come to find you in my next life.”
The girl in the purple dress trembled, and her whole body didn’t feel right.
After leaving Qing Yun City, Lin Yi drove a flying boat with Old Huang towards the Outer Sect. On the way, Old Huang took out a storage symbol and laughingly said, “Little Lin, it’s not much, but you keep it. Consider it a gift from this old friend.’
Lin Yi didn’t refuse but instead placed the storage symbol into his own storage bag.
Back home, the cultivator already prepared everything. He even bought a coffin.
At this point, Old Huang was hanging by a thread. Lin Yi placed him inside the coffin, “Little Lin, when… when you reach Foundation Establishment, don’t forget to tell me.”
“Don’t worry, once the grass on your grave reaches one meter, I’ll ascend.” Lin Yi said with a smile.
Zhi Ling also emerged from its pocket, gently pat Old Huangs palm, and squeaked a few times.
“Little guy, thank you.” Old Huang stretched his arm with difficulty to stroke Zhi Ling.
Then his breath weakened, his palm dropped and with a smile on his face, he passed away.
Lin Yi shook his head sighing. Old Huang eventually left this world before the opening of the Dan God Secret Realm.
If Old Huang had been more cautious, more careful, had not entered the secret realm before being capable enough, perhaps he wouldn’t have been hurt and got stuck at Qi Refining Level Four.
He reached Qi Refining Level Four decades ago. Old Huang did not have a weak talent for cultivation. Perhaps, in the end, he could have established a
foundation.
But there’s no “if” in life, just as there’s no antidote for regret.
This is why even though Lin Yi has the Golden Finger and his cultivation level previously reached Qi Refining Ninth Layer, he’s still developing cautiously. There is always a higher mountain, and a stronger person. Unless he is completely dominant, he would not put himself in any danger.
“Host has been constantly cautious and careful, not venturing into dangers, gained insights of the Path of Survivor, the title [Petty Survivor] has been upgraded to [Elite Survivor]. Do you want to replace automatically?”
Lin Yi looked at the pop-up window and couldn’t help but smile. Even in his death, Old Huang indirectly helped him to get the next stage title of the Path of Survivor.
But this [Elite Survivor] isn’t really something nice, even more presumptuous than [Petty Survivor].
He didn’t check the effect of the title right now and didn’t select ‘replace’. Once Old Huangs funeral is over, he will see what new effects will appear with the next title in the Path of Survivor.
The following day, some of Old Huang’s friends came to mourn him, which included some stewards and assistants from Sinong Palace and Spiritual Field Manager Meng Wei Min from Zone B.
Even Aunt Liu Mei Niang, who had initially introduced the blind date, came over.
More than six years have passed, the once charming Aunt Liu now looked a bit aged. After seeing Lin Yi, she respectfully bowed and called him Brother Lin.
Lin Yi returned the salute with a calm face. He didn’t accept any funeral gifts for Huang De Shengs funeral. He didn’t care about such small amount of money.
The cultivators who came to pay their respects were all filled with astonishment when they saw that Lin Yi’s cultivation had reached the eighth stage of Qi Refinement.
Especially the Spirit Farmers from area C, some couldn’t believe that a cultivator who was once at the third or fourth stage of Qi Refinement, has now reached the eighth stage after just over six years in the Inner Sect; this truly fills people with envy, jealousy, and hate.
Some of them are still stuck around the fourth stage and haven’t broken through even after several years.
On the last day, Zhou Yun Feng, the Lord of Sinong Palace, also came to take a look and patted Lin Yi on the shoulder.
After resting for three days, on the fourth day, Lin Yi and the others carried the coffin to a nearby forest and buried it in the ground. This was the burial place for many Spirit Farmers.
After erecting the tombstone, he poured two jugs of wine on the grave, then returned to the Inner Sect of Liu Yun Sect.
On the way back to the Inner Sect, Lin Yi heard some discussions among the Inner Sect Disciples. It seemed that the results of the Secret Realm quota contest were out. Liu Yun Sect had the highest total points and won fifteen quotas.
It seems that the one person who won the most points in the contest was a disciple from the Golden Sword Lineage. As for how many of the fifteen quotas they will receive, they did not know.
A smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face. It was not surprising. After all, the most outstanding disciples of Gold Sword Zen Ren were quite reliable in terms of combat power.
Based on previous analyses, the Golden Sword Lineage would get at least five quotas at minimum. However, these five quotas wouldn’t likely be entirely filled from the cultivators who tend to the Spirit Grass.
After all, there are also Spiritual Medicine gardens and Alchemy rooms in the
Dan God Secret Realm, not just the Cave Mansion. Though the Cave Mansion has the greatest opportunity, it has only been opened once or twice in a thousand years. Few people were able to enter.
Including the Golden Sword Lineage, the Liu Yun Sect would not place all their bets on the Cave Mansion. There will certainly be cultivators with strong combat abilities and those who understand alchemy involved.
From this perspective, for the five quotas, it is estimated that only two people who know about nurturing Spirit Grass and Spirit Medicine will be selected.
Upon returning to the Jin Qiao Peak Cave Mansion, Lin Yi hadn’t had time to check the effects of his title when he saw a golden sword appear in the sky, followed by the words of Gold Sword Zen Ren, “Disciples of Golden Sword Lineage, gather at Golden Sword Peak within a quarter of an hour.”
Lin Yi gave a shake of his head, then briefly checked the effects of his title before showing an excited expression on his face.
Just as he had guessed, once the Surviving Daoist’s title had been upgraded, a new effect appeared, and it was very useful.
After skimming through, he drove a Flying Boat towards Golden Sword Peak.
At this time, the disciples of the Golden Sword Lineage arrived rather quickly. After all, over five years have passed, and the quotas for the second opening of the Dan God Secret Realm would finally be determined.
Some of them had worked hard for five or six years practicing farming techniques, just for this opportunity. The Dan God Secret Realm Cave Mansion was truly an opportunity that could change one’s fate.
Once in the Cave Mansion, whether receiving the inheritance of the Dan God or other treasures, becoming a Daozi of Liu Yun Sect would be an easy matter.
When Lin Yi arrived at Golden Sword Peak, he still stood in the most remote corner as usual. He was still wearing the title of [Petty Survivor]. Even after the title was upgraded, this newcomer-like title still remained.
However, he might not need it in the future. He wondered if the system had the function to recycle titles.
A quarter of an hour later, almost the entire Golden Sword Plaza was filled. Apart from the disciples who were out, the rest of the disciples had all gathered in the square.
The figure of Gold Sword Zen Ren emerged from the golden sword, and said calmly: “Firstly, I have an announcement to make. Wei Ling Yun, a disciple of my Golden Sword Lineage, represented Liu Yun Sect in the contest for the Secret Realm quotas, and placed first in points. From today onwards, he will be included in the Taozi Sequence of Liu Yun Sect, and all resources will be given priority to him…”
The scene immediately erupted in applause. Under the spell of Gold Sword Zen Ren, a disciple dressed in Golden Sword attire slowly rose into the air, bowed his fist to the crowd.
This person had a calm expression and a sharp gaze, seemingly similar to Li Yuan Qing, both sharing the likeness of a sword.
“Our Liu Yun Sect took first place in this Secret Realm quota contest and received fifteen quotas to enter the Secret Realm. Since it has fully opened this time, every quota is crucial.”
“Because Wei Ling Yun ranked first in points, my Golden Sword Lineage will receive five quotas…”
At this point, the crowd was excited, but they all repressed this excitement. Despite the seemingly small amount of five quotas, many people believe that they are qualified to get it.
Lin Yi showed a smile, just as he had predicted. Five quotas, next up should be the announcement of distribution of the five quotas..
