Chapter 135: Chapter 135: Huang Qjngling’s Spiritual Sense
Translator: 549690339
Soon, Lin Jing thought of a reason.
“Fellow Daoist, I apologize…”
“Because I also frequently visit Fang Market, I didn’t want to attract too much trouble, which is why I wore this hat.”
“I hope Fellow Daoist can understand.”
“The difficulties of Fellow Daoist, I can naturally understand,” Elder Yu said and then cupped his fists in a salute to Lin Jing:
“It is rather the young ones at home who are mischievous, I apologize on behalf of them to Fellow Daoist.”
“It’s fine,” Lin Jing likewise cupped his fists.
After that…
The three of them left the Secret Trade Room together.
“Both of you, I shall take my leave.”
After leaving the Secret Trade Room, Lin Jing bid farewell to Elder Yu and Huang Qingling and left.
After Lin Jing had left, Elder Yu asked Huang Qingling again:
“Do you really feel like he resembles someone you know?”
Huang Qingling replied, “There is a similarity, but perhaps I’m overthinking it.”
“Elder Yu, as you know, my Spiritual Sense is more sensitive than that of most people. I just had a familiar feeling.” “But Spiritual Sense can also be mistaken, can it not?”
“That’s also true…” Elder Yu nodded.
“If he really is someone you know, then I should probably also recognize him.” Looking in the direction Lin Jing had left, Elder Yu said:
“Didn’t he mention that he often goes to Fang Market? Maybe you have seen him there…”
“Perhaps… ”
Huang Qingling said thoughtfully, nodding.
Having left the black market, Lin Jing changed back to his own appearance and directly returned to his small courtyard.
Lin Jing wasn’t sure if Huang Qingling would come looking for him, so he didn’t enter the System Space but instead sat in meditation in his house.
By the time a whole night had passed, Lin Jing realized he had worried needlessly. How could Huang Qingling possibly come in the middle of the night?
The next morning, Huang Qingling arrived.
She especially mentioned the incident from the day before to Lin Jing.
When it came to the end, Huang Qingling mentioned her feeling that the Elixir Valley Heir resembled someone she knew.
Lin Jing immediately asked why she felt this way.
Eventually, Huang Qingling’s explanation allowed Lin Jing to breathe a sigh of relief.
It turned out to be her Spiritual Sense.
Spiritual Sense, an ethereal thing, is hard to articulate. Those with strong Spiritual Sense generally have decent combat talents.
More impressively, they can also foresee danger in advance.
For instance, many Demonic Beasts are born with exceptionally strong
Spiritual Sense, and their instinct to rely on it to avert danger is innate.
The Spiritual Sense of Human Cultivators, compared to that of Demonic Beasts, tends to be weaker, but occasionally, some individuals with extremely strong Spiritual Sense do emerge.
Clearly, Huang Qingling was one of these lucky ones.
Moreover, Huang Qingling mentioned…
After obtaining the Elixir Medicine, these past two days, Elder Yu had been making the final preparations and was soon to face the Tribulation.
After staying for a while longer, Huang Qingling left.
Two days later…
It was supposed to be the day for Elder Yu to confront his Tribulation, but it was postponed.
Because someone else took the initiative to undergo their Tribulation first.
This person was a Cultivator from the Li Family, like Elder Yu, also stuck at the peak of Foundation Establishment for many years.
Just yesterday, this person began their Tribulation.
And…
Upon hearing the news, Elder Bai hurriedly notified Elder Yu, who was meditating, and the two of them went to observe together.
Due to secrecy, the Li Family cultivator’s Tribulation wasn’t made known to many, so Lin Jing and Huang Qingling were not included.
However, the news quickly spread.
The Li Family cultivator ultimately could not withstand the Heavenly Tribulation and was reduced to ash under the seventh strike of the tribulation lightning, resulting in a failed Tribulation.
The spread of this news cast a shadow over the hearts of the few Cultivators preparing for their own Tribulation.
Even Elder Yu was no exception, leading to the delay of his Tribulation.
For a time, the atmosphere in Fang Market also became somewhat somber.
However…
this challenge had to be faced regardless, for there was certainly no escaping it.
Therefore, five days later, Elder Yu, having fully recovered, was once again ready to begin his Tribulation.
That morning.
Lin Jing ended his meditation early, tidied up, and went straight out.
He first headed to the entrance of Huang Qingling’s courtyard.
Approaching, he knocked “dong dong dong” several times.
No sooner had he lowered his hand than a dark shadow flew out from the courtyara.
The first to come out was actually Little Sparrow.
Upon its arrival, Little Sparrow, showing no stranger anxiety, directly landed on Lin Jing’s shoulder.
Recently, Little Sparrow had been disturbing him less frequently.
Nonetheless, Lin Jing would still prepare some treats for it whenever it visited, so it was less resistant to him now.
Before long, Huang Qingling opened the door and stepped out.
At that moment, Little Sparrow also left Lin Jing’s shoulder and perched on Huang Qingling’s.
Clearly, compared to Lin Jing, it was much closer to Huang Qingling. “Fellow Daoist Qing Ling,” Lin Jing greeted Huang Qingling.
“Shall we go…” said Huang Qingling.
“Yes…” Lin Jing replied.
Soon, the two of them walked towards the outskirts of Fang Market.
The agreed location for the Tribulation was on the outer edges of the Night Mist Mountain Range at a place called the Gravel Shore.
The Gravel Shore, with its flat terrain and no excess trees for cover, was not far from Fang Market and rarely frequented by Demonic Beasts.
It was perfectly suitable for setting up the Formation for the Tribulation.
Since the Formation needed to be set up in advance, Elder Bai had already set off earlier to prepare at the Gravel Shore.
The two arrived at Yuebaolou and met Elder Yu.
At this time, his breath was steady, his emotions stable, and his condition looked very good.
“You two are here, let’s set off then,” he said.
“Alright..
“Alright…’
The two responded, and then followed Elder Yu out towards the outside of Fang Market.
As soon as they left Fang Market, both Elder Yu and Huang Qingling rose into the air on their Flying Swords and urged Lin Jing to hurry.
“Lin Jing, quick…”
Seeing this, Lin Jing also took out his Flawless Sword and stepped onto it.
“Your Flying Sword is so peculiar, being formless and shadowless…” Huang Qingling was quite surprised, as this was the first time she had seen Lin Jing’s Flying Sword.
‘Yes…”
“This Flying Sword was a gift from a friend before,” Lin Jing said.
“At the last auction, there was a sword technique that would have matched well with your Flying Sword.”
After speaking, Huang Qingling shook her head regretfully, “What a pity…’
“That sword technique was taken by someone else; had you acquired it, it would have greatly enhanced your strength,” she added.
Lin Jing replied, “You jest, Fellow Daoist Qing Ling. That sword technique mustn’t have been cheap…”
“I imagine it’s not something I could afford.”
“Indeed…
Huang Qingling nodded emphatically.
“That sword technique was eventually auctioned for the astronomical price of five thousand three hundred Midium Grade Spirit Stones,” Elder Yu interjected.
“Let’s forget about that…
“Let’s hurry to the Gravel Shore.”
It took the three less than half an hour to reach the vicinity of the Gravel Shore.
If they hadn’t needed to accommodate Lin Jing, Elder Yu and Huang Qingling could have moved even faster.
Then, the three of them retracted their Flying Swords and descended from the sky.
Heading towards the Gravel Shore in front of them. By this time, Elder Bai had finished preparing..
