Chapter 93

"Of course, I was also quite surprised when I heard the news!" Li Shun Tian, seeing Lin Hao Ming's strong reaction, echoed along.

Lin Hao Ming asked with some anticipation, "Although the Green-Eyed Ice Toad isn't very strong, it is extremely rare. How could it appear here in the outer sect? Did you receive it?"

Li Shun Tian shook his head and said, "Of course not. The other party is very cautious. They confirmed that the Green-Eyed Ice Toad is not in their possession but in the hands of a certain cultivation family. If you want it, you need to go to that family to trade. Because this thing is too precious, it costs over a thousand spirit stones, so I didn't dare to make the decision myself!"

"Oh! Who is the other party? Are they reliable?" Lin Hao Ming asked.

"The one who provided the information is Lin Fei Yang. From his tone, it seems he is an old acquaintance of Senior Brother Lin. He said you would believe him!" Li Shun Tian said.

Lin Hao Ming didn't expect that Lin Fei Yang would have such information, and he couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

"I have had some dealings with this person. If it's him, it might be true. Did he leave a way to contact him?" Lin Hao Ming asked.

"Yes, he specially left a sound transmission talisman. If Senior Brother Lin is interested, he can be called immediately!" Li Shun Tian took out a sound transmission talisman from his storage bag.

"Alright, call him immediately!" Lin Hao Ming instructed without hesitation.

Since the beginning of the spirit stone mine dispute, Lin Hao Ming had not seen Lin Fei Yang again.

When he saw him again, he found that the guy hadn't changed much from before. At least, he still gave off the same poor and shabby impression.

"Senior Brother Lin!" Lin Fei Yang, now facing Lin Hao Ming, who was wearing the inner sect disciple's uniform, changed his address.

Since he called him Senior Brother, Lin Hao Ming didn't hold back and greeted him with a smile, "Junior Brother Lin, come in and sit down. We can talk slowly!"

He led Lin Fei Yang into a soundproof room and had Li Shun Tian guard outside. Lin Hao Ming asked with a smile, "Junior Brother Lin, I heard you have the Green-Eyed Ice Toad?"

"It's not mine, but belongs to the family I came from!" Lin Fei Yang said.

"Your family?" Lin Hao Ming was somewhat surprised to hear this.

Lin Fei Yang should be around forty years old and has been in the sect for quite some time.

"I come from a small family in Ning Meng Mountain. The family head is my uncle, but his cultivation is only at the peak of the Qi Condensation stage. I was sent to the sect for cultivation since I was young. Unfortunately, although I am considered the best in terms of talent in my family, I am quite mediocre here!" Lin Fei Yang sighed bitterly.

Lin Hao Ming knew that Lin Fei Yang was a cultivator with three spiritual roots, which was much better than his mixed spiritual roots. However, it seemed his luck wasn't very good, and his cultivation progress was always slow.

"Junior Brother Lin, about the Green-Eyed Ice Toad?" Lin Hao Ming didn't want to hear more about his family and immediately reminded him.

"Senior Brother Lin, my uncle discovered the Green-Eyed Ice Toad by chance near a cold pond in Ning Meng Mountain. It is extremely rare, and my uncle spent a lot of effort to catch it. Unfortunately, it is not very useful for our cultivation, and there are few people who can afford to buy it. So, it has been kept aside, waiting for a talented descendant in the family to sell it for their cultivation!" Lin Fei Yang said.

"So, your family has produced a talented descendant?" Lin Hao Ming asked casually.

"Not really. Actually, because it is difficult to sell, we have changed our mind. As long as there is a suitable buyer, we will sell it. If Senior Brother Lin wants to buy it, I will definitely sell it!" Lin Fei Yang said.

"From what you say, we need to go to Ning Meng Mountain together?" Lin Hao Ming asked.

"Of course. My uncle cannot leave the family, but don't worry, Senior Brother Lin. My family is not far from the sect. After we leave the sect, we will fly north, and it will take about half a month to arrive!" Lin Fei Yang said.

Flying for so long is not considered far, and Lin Hao Ming could only smile. However, upon careful consideration, this distance is indeed not too far for cultivators. A Foundation Establishment cultivator can fly there in two to three days, and a Golden Core elder can reach it in just a few hours.

"Alright, but are you sure your uncle will sell it?" Lin Hao Ming asked.

"Of course!" Lin Fei Yang affirmed.

Seeing his assurance, and based on his understanding of him, Lin Hao Ming didn't want to waste time and asked directly, "Alright, the sooner we go, the better. Do you need to prepare anything?"

"I am just a small manager, so I need to inform the supervisor. Otherwise, it won't be proper!" Lin Fei Yang said, slightly embarrassed.

"Then go quickly and come back. I will wait for you for two hours. After two hours, we will leave together!" Lin Hao Ming said in a commanding tone.

"Don't worry, I will return as quickly as possible!" Lin Fei Yang said and immediately ran out.

As he said, he returned after just one hour, and the two of them left the sect, flying north together.

Since coming to this world, except for going to Red Leaf Mountain, Lin Hao Ming had not been to any other place, always staying in the sect.

The Blood Refinement Sect is located in the Blood Flame Mountain Range, which is actually a treasure trove. Many rare flowers, herbs, and precious spirit beasts are scattered throughout the mountains. Encountering them would at least be a small fortune.

In fact, because of the many treasures scattered here, the sect often issues tasks to find treasures, attracting many cultivators to seek them. Of course, seeking treasures also comes with a price. Besides the possibility of encountering fierce spirit beasts, mutual killings among cultivators are also very common.

Both Lin Hao Ming and Lin Fei Yang were at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation stage. For low-level disciples who often operate in the Blood Flame Mountain Range, they were already considered quite powerful. Therefore, they just flew to their destination, and no one would deliberately obstruct them.

Of course, at night or when their mana was significantly depleted, the two would carefully choose a relatively safe place to rest to avoid being ambushed.

In this way, three to four days passed, and the two had already flown to the edge of the Blood Flame Mountain Range.

On this noon, after flying for two hours, when they passed a valley full of boulders, Lin Fei Yang proactively asked, "Senior Brother Lin, shall we rest a bit ahead?"

Since they had flown a considerable distance, Lin Hao Ming nodded in agreement and followed Lin Fei Yang to land in the pile of boulders. They each found a stone to sit on, put away their magical tools, and rested.

Both of them took out a spirit stone and held it to recover their mana.

Although they were using low-grade spirit stones, Lin Fei Yang clearly used them with great reluctance, while Lin Hao Ming found the recovery speed of the low-grade spirit stones too slow.

Just as Lin Hao Ming was about to secretly take out a spirit bead to recover, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Fei Yang and suddenly noticed that he was sitting on a stone three zhang away, his eyes darting around as if looking for something.

Lin Hao Ming was about to ask when he suddenly saw him leap in a certain direction.
