Chapter 6

That big man, being a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, just as his body was about to fall into the pit, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his descending body quickly retreated three zhang backward.

Although three zhang was not very far, it could save his life at a critical moment.

Seeing the big man dodge the pit, Fang Ling felt a greater admiration for him.

"Still not moving quickly!" The big man, for some reason, noticed Fang Ling and shouted at him again.

Hearing the big man's shout, Fang Ling felt a warmth in his heart. At such a life-and-death moment, the big man still thought to remind him, which showed that the man had a good heart.

Just as Fang Ling was about to speak, a cut suddenly appeared on the big man's arm, and a green light also appeared beside him.

The green light instantly shattered, and the big man's long robe was cut into two pieces.

Drops of blood continuously dripped from the big man's arm.

"Go left!"

The big man was on the right side of the correct path, and Fang Ling loudly shouted to him.

At this moment, the big man, in a panic, quickly moved to the left, covering a distance of two zhang.

Landing on the ground with trepidation, the big man let out a sigh of relief when he found no danger.

That scene just now had truly frightened him. If a few more cracks appeared, he might have been left here.

At this time, Fang Ling also walked onto the platform.

The big man, seeing Fang Ling walk over lightly, clasped his hands and said, "I am Lin Mucheng, thank you, young brother, for your warning."

Seeing the big man's humility, Fang Ling also smiled and said, "My name is Fang Ling. Just a small favor, you don't need to worry about it."

Lin Mucheng laughed heartily and said, "For you, it might be a small favor, but for me, it's a matter of life and death. If you ever need anything, just come to me, Brother Lin."

Lin Mucheng's generous personality made Fang Ling very appreciative. Just as he was thinking of chatting with Lin Mucheng, he heard Lin Mucheng say with some surprise, "Brother Fang, you... did you come down from above?"

Hearing this, Fang Ling felt a bit hesitant. He knew that one should not reveal everything to others.

However, Lin Mucheng had seen the path he had just taken, so after a brief hesitation, he admitted it frankly, "Yes, I just came down from above."

Lin Mucheng's eyes flickered. As a cultivator, he was very clear about the danger of going up. Just a moment ago, he almost stayed here.

At that moment, he thought of Fang Ling's warning again.

This young man would not have warned him randomly. Could it be that he was very familiar with this path?

Thinking of this, Lin Mucheng asked solemnly, "Brother, please forgive me for asking, but did you go up through this platform?"

"Um, Brother Lin, you're right, I did go up from here." Fang Ling pretended to be harmless, but he had already raised his inner energy to the highest level, ready to escape at any moment.

Outside, he had no way to fight back against Lin Mucheng, but on this platform, if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.

"Brother Fang, to be frank, this place is full of dangers. With your cultivation, it's very difficult to go up from here!" Lin Mucheng said, his eyes fixed on Fang Ling.

Fang Ling pondered for a moment and then said, "Brother Lin, the reason I could go up from here is not because of my cultivation, but because of my intuition."

Intuition was a very mysterious concept, but Lin Mucheng believed it. He knew that in this world, there were people with very sensitive intuitions, and what seemed impossible to others was a reality for them.

Seeing Fang Ling's calm face, as if he was talking about something trivial, Lin Mucheng sighed. This young man had a pure heart, and his earlier thoughts were a bit excessive.

He then said solemnly, "Fang Ling, you should only keep this intuition to yourself and never tell anyone else, understand?"

Fang Ling felt a great relief. Since Lin Mucheng said this, it meant he was not a threat to him. He relaxed his inner energy and asked innocently, "Brother Lin, why can't I tell others?"

"Naive boy, your intuition can bring you benefits, but it can also bring you disaster. Do you know the phoenix? It is hunted because its tail is too beautiful." Lin Mucheng patted Fang Ling and said, "If people know about your intuition, they will treat you as a tool."

"Thank you, Brother Lin, I understand!" Fang Ling looked at Lin Mucheng with gratitude.

Lin Mucheng laughed heartily and said, "Good to know. But since you are my little brother, no one in this small city will dare to treat you as a tool."

The two chatted for a while. When Lin Mucheng learned of Fang Ling's purpose, he became even more appreciative of him.

"Brother Lin, there are few cultivators who come here. Why did you come here?" Fang Ling asked, pretending to be curious.

Lin Mucheng sighed and said, "I have a very close junior brother who was injured in a battle recently. If not treated soon, his hard-earned Foundation Establishment will be ruined."

"We have prepared almost all the ingredients for the Rejuvenation Pill, but we are missing the main ingredient, the Eagle Snake Fruit. I have been to four or five places, but none of them had the Eagle Snake Fruit. I heard that this La Mountain has it, so I decided to take the risk."

To enter such a dangerous place for his junior brother, Fang Ling felt even more admiration for Lin Mucheng. He pondered for a moment and then took out an Eagle Snake Fruit from his medicine basket.

"Brother Lin, this should be the Eagle Snake Fruit you are looking for."

Seeing the large Eagle Snake Fruit in Fang Ling's hand, Lin Mucheng's heart trembled. He had been thinking about this spiritual fruit for the past ten days.

But every time he went to a place, he received a disappointing answer.

If his junior brother could wait, he would not have personally entered this La Mountain, where cultivators and ordinary herbalists were no different.

"Little brother, this is the Eagle Snake Fruit I'm looking for. How much do you want for it?" As Lin Mucheng spoke, he reached into his sleeve and took out a small bag.

The small bag shimmered with three colors in the sunlight, clearly a valuable item. Fang Ling swallowed hard.

But then he straightened his face and said, "Brother Lin, you said that meeting is a kind of fate. Giving me this as a reward is a sign of disrespect."

Lin Mucheng's expression changed, and then he laughed heartily, "You're right, I was a bit petty just now."

As he spoke, he took the Eagle Snake Fruit from Fang Ling, carefully examined it, and then took out a jade box from his sleeve, carefully placing the fruit inside.

"Little brother, carrying so many medicines is quite cumbersome. I have a small spatial bag that I got recently. You can take it and use it!" As he spoke, Lin Mucheng handed Fang Ling a small bag.

This bag was slightly smaller than the one Lin Mucheng had taken out earlier, shimmering with two colors, but the words "small spatial bag" made Fang Ling's heart beat faster.

According to his memory, this small spatial bag was a good item. As long as it was not a living thing, it could be stored in the bag.

"This is useless to me, Brother Fang, don't refuse it!" Lin Mucheng added, fearing that Fang Ling would not accept it.

Fang Ling took the small bag casually and said with a smile, "Since you don't need it, Brother Lin, I won't be polite."

"I have been dreaming of having a small spatial bag. In our city, there are no more than ten people who have one."

Seeing Fang Ling handle the small spatial bag with ease, Lin Mucheng's face also showed a smile.

Although he felt that Fang Ling was a good match, his pride as a cultivator made him unwilling to take advantage of Fang Ling. Fang Ling's ease in accepting the bag made him even more satisfied.

"The use of this small spatial bag is very simple. It is a rare magical tool that can be used by cultivators below the Seventh Layer of Qi. You just need to input your inner energy into the spatial bag to store items."

Lin Mucheng explained it simply, but it took Fang Ling half an hour to fully understand the spatial bag.

After putting most of the medicines from his basket into the small spatial bag, Fang Ling and Lin Mucheng descended the mountain together.

Originally, Lin Mucheng wanted to walk in front, but Fang Ling firmly refused. It was not that he was afraid of Lin Mucheng encountering any major danger, but he was afraid that Lin Mucheng would lead him into trouble.

Despite Fang Ling's insistence, Lin Mucheng had to let him go first, but he was very cautious behind Fang Ling.

Although he knew that Fang Ling had intuition, intuition was a very mysterious thing and could sometimes suddenly fail.

However, as they walked down, Lin Mucheng began to admire Fang Ling's intuition. They did not encounter a single spatial crack on the way.

As a cultivator, Lin Mucheng's reaction to danger was higher than others. Following behind Fang Ling, he sometimes felt that the damned spatial cracks were right beside him, but no matter how close they got, they never touched him.

Because of this admiration, Lin Mucheng gradually stopped treating Fang Ling like a child and began to see him as an equal.

"Introducing Fang Ling to my sect might not be a bad idea."

Just as this thought formed in Lin Mucheng's mind, the two had already reached the foot of the mountain. At the entrance opened by Master Zhao, there were already many people waiting.

"Oh, Fang Ling actually came out alive, it's hard to believe!" A thin monkey, holding one arm, said in a sharp voice when he saw Fang Ling come down. But then he shouted, "I bet Fang Ling didn't collect more than three types of herbs this time!"
