Cautiously Cultivating Immortality in a Strange World - Chapter 84: A Good Show

Chapter 84: A Good Show

“Ma Youcai, you dare to stop me, you don’t want to live, right?”

As Chen Lin returned to the original road. Just as he was about to reach the gate, he saw a young girl in a yellow dress, scolding a Qi Refining stage youth who was responsible for guarding the gate.

The youth, however, remained unmoved, blocking her path. “Sister Linglong, please don’t make things difficult for me. The master has specifically instructed that you’re not allowed to leave the manor recently. If you go out, I’ll be in trouble.”

The girl’s eyes widened in anger, and she retorted, “I haven’t broken any rules, so why is the master restricting me? I don’t care, I’m going out to see what’s so great about Luo Ziqing that he dares to ignore me!”

With that, she ignored the youth and rushed out. The youth, who was only at the Qi Refining stage, was no match for her and could only watch helplessly.

Just then, a white light descended from the sky and landed in front of the girl, who was caught off guard and stumbled backwards.

“Ma Linglong, what’s gotten into you? Come back here at once!” a young man in white robes shouted, his face red with anger.

The girl’s anger suddenly dissipated, and she looked pitiful, on the verge of tears. “Brother Yu, Luo Ziqing deceived me. He promised me he wouldn’t cultivate the Fused Demon…”

But before she could finish, the young man in white robes cut her off with a loud shout, his cold gaze fixed on her.

The girl was frightened and took a step back, realizing she had said something wrong. Her shoulders trembled as she began to cry.

The young man in white robes scanned the area, his eyes pausing briefly on Chen Lin before he turned to take the girl back into the manor.

After they disappeared from view, Chen Lin walked towards the gate, his eyes fixed on the path ahead. He left the Ma Family manor with several other cultivators.

By then, the sun had already set, and the sky was darkening. The cultivators who had come out with him all used their flying techniques or spiritual treasures to soar into the sky.

Chen Lin thought for a moment and then used the Royal Wind Technique to fly low in the sky. However, after flying for about two to three miles, he landed and continued on foot, deviating from the main path and entering the mountainous region.

Earlier, at the gate, the young man in white robes had clearly taken notice of him, making Chen Lin feel a sense of unease.

Although the other party had no reason to harm him, Chen Lin decided to take a detour through the mountains out of caution.

After all, it wasn’t too far from here to Guyuan City, and the mountains were just small hills with no demonic beasts or obstacles to hinder passage.

Not long after entering the mountains, Chen Lin saw two flashes of light flying out from the direction of the Ma Family manor, one heading towards the city and the other towards Guyuan City.

Judging by their speed, they were at least Qi Refining stage cultivators.

Chen Lin became even more cautious, deliberately seeking out dense tree cover to walk through. After a while, he stopped and found a secluded spot to hide.

No need to rush; he could rest here for a while before continuing on.

It was always better to be safe than sorry.

He hid for an hour.

The sky had already darkened, and the moon and stars had come out.

This world didn’t have air pollution, and the sky was exceptionally clear. The stars visible in the sky were also more numerous and brighter than in his previous life.

From this, Chen Lin could see that this was definitely not his original world.

As he appreciated the night scenery, Chen Lin reflected on the events that had transpired since his transmigration. Although he hadn’t done perfectly, he had struggled to survive and had successfully left Kaiyuan City, that strange and eerie place.

Currently, as long as he didn’t act recklessly and continued to be cautious, he could still make a living with his innate abilities.

Even if he couldn’t reach the Golden Core stage, he still had a glimmer of hope for Foundation Establishment.

At forty years old, a Qi Refining cultivator’s lifespan could reach 120 years, leaving him with 80 years to go. If he could achieve Foundation Establishment during this time, he could gain an additional 100 years of life, living up to around 240 years old.

Over 200 years old – in his previous life, that was unimaginable.

Of course, if possible, he would still strive for the elusive path of immortality. not just settling for a single transmigration.

If he could find a suitable partner, he could also leave behind a legacy in this world, leaving a mark of his existence.

Chen Lin remained vigilant of his surroundings while indulging in fantasies of his future life, occasionally breaking into a smile.

Suddenly, Chen Lin’s expression changed, and he hastily held his breath. Then, he looked up towards the distance.

A stream of light was shooting towards him from the night sky, heading straight for his location.

Chen Lin’s spirit became extremely tense, and he forcefully suppressed the energy fluctuations in his body, hiding his figure. He then placed his hand on the storage bag containing the puppet.

The black light was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived above the hidden location, just above Chen Lin. He thought it was just passing by, but the light suddenly dove down, landing about twenty meters away from him.

This startled him, and he almost took out the puppet, even grasping the Blood Escape Talisman in his hand.

The Blood Escape Talisman could only escape a distance of over a mile, but it was just enough to let him escape the blast radius of the Thunderbolt Four, which was exactly why he had prepared it.

But what surprised him was…

After the light landed, it wasn’t a person charging towards him as he had imagined, but a man and a woman.

Under the night sky, Chen Lin saw that the woman was dressed in a revealing outfit, with a tight, thin, short-sleeved shirt and an ultra-short skirt, showcasing her straight, white legs that were particularly eye-catching even in the dark.

Chen Lin’s face revealed his astonishment.

The woman was none other than the bold female cultivator from the Zhao Merchant House exchange meeting, who had bought the Golden Escape Talisman!

This outfit was too distinctive, and if it weren’t for the fact that it was nighttime, it would be even more attention-grabbing.

And the man was even more shocking – it was Luo Ziqing!

The fact that this pair was running around in the middle of the night, in this place, was already suspicious enough. What left Chen Lin stunned was their current state.

The female cultivator was embracing her arms, standing there with an air of elegance, surrounded by a misty aura.

Luo Ziqing, on the other hand, had a dazed expression, his face flushed, and his breathing was rough.

What was even more exaggerated was that his head was bobbing up and down, as if trying to nod at the female cultivator, but failing to do so, only nodding at the air, looking ridiculous and eerie.

“You’re going to kill me, Die’er!”

Suddenly, Luo Ziqing pounced like a hungry tiger, landing on the ground with a thud, covering himself in mud.

But the female cultivator remained oblivious, standing there with a smirk of contempt and disdain on her face.

Chen Lin was watching with a mix of shock and amusement, wondering what kind of demonic technique the female cultivator had used to reduce a Qi Refining 9th Stage cultivator like Luo Ziqing to this state.

“It’s probably some kind of hypnotic technique.”

“If I were to fight with someone in the future, I’d better be extra cautious and buy some talismans or spiritual treasures to carry with me.”

“This is too damn humiliating!”

Chen Lin didn’t dare to move, just quietly watching and guessing the relationship between the two.

Time passed slowly.

Before long, Luo Ziqing suddenly let out a beast-like roar, his body stiffening as if he had been electrocuted.

Then, his eyes gradually cleared.

The woman finally took action, quickly sitting down beside Luo Ziqing, covering herself with mud and disheveling her clothes.

“Die’er!”

Luo Ziqing was fully awake, reaching out to hug the female cultivator, but she dodged quickly, revealing a resentful expression.

“Luo Ziqing, you’re too much! What do you take me for, a prostitute?”
