Chapter 52: Killing, Ascending to the Moon
Dream-Making Expert
“Fellow Daoist Lin.”
“I heard you mention before that you wanted to buy a Dharma Artifact of the illusion type.”
“I immediately asked around everywhere, and I actually found one.”
“I’ve already contacted the seller. If it’s convenient for you, why don’t we go right now…”
In the water pavilion, Steward Chen of the Law Enforcement Hall spoke to Lin Qi while sipping tea.
“Wait another quarter hour.”
Lin Qi waved his hand, cutting Steward Chen off, and muttered to himself, If I fly from Yushan Ward back to the Immortal Academy on the wind, how long would it take?
“About an hour or so.”
Steward Chen answered instinctively.
“That’s about right.”
Lin Qi nodded slightly, picked up his teacup, and quietly savored the tea.
Steward Chen did not understand why they had to wait a quarter hour, but he did not dare ask, and could only wait obediently.
Soon, a quarter hour passed.
Lin Qi suddenly rose and said calmly, “Wait here a moment. I’ll be right back.”
Before the words had fully left his mouth, Lin Qi had already shot into the air, riding the wind straight up into the clouds.
In the next instant, the Wind-Thunder Wings on his back quivered, and Lin Qi transformed into a cloud burst, flying instantly toward the Immortal Academy.
“Holy shit, that’s fast!”
“Whose flying ship is that? So fast?!”
“It doesn’t look like a flying ship. It looks like a person.”
“Shh, keep your voice down. That should be some Foundation Establishment Elder from the Immortal Academy on his way.”
…
Lin Qi’s speed was too great. The cloud burst he kicked up streaked across the sky like a meteor, drawing many cultivators to look up and cry out in shock.
Yang Zhiyun, who was riding the wind back to the Immortal Academy, was quickly startled by the thunderous roar of the cloud burst. He instinctively stopped midair and looked up, his heart full of envy.
With that kind of flying speed, it should be Elder Ye of Golden Thunder Peak.
Elder Ye possesses the Lightning-Escape divine ability. His speed is unmatched. Even Golden Core Ancestors would praise it.
Sigh, when will I finally succeed in Foundation Establishment, cultivate a divine ability, and become an Elder?
Yang Zhiyun could not help but sigh.
That Elder Ye of Golden Thunder Peak he spoke of had actually been his fellow disciple back in the day.
But now one was a noble Foundation Establishment Elder, with a lifespan extended by eight hundred years, and Golden Core within reach.
While he was merely a menial cultivator, forced to serve a junior hand and foot in exchange for a sliver of hope at advancing to Foundation Establishment.
But if my cooperation with Lin Qi goes smoothly, it’s not as if I can’t get a taste of what it’s like to be a Foundation Establishment Elder.
Yang Zhiyun thought of the wonderful possibilities and unconsciously stroked his beard. Just as he was about to continue on his way, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Hm, why does it seem like it’s coming straight for me?
Yang Zhiyun saw the figure in the sky, kicking up cloud bursts like a falling meteor, rapidly sweeping toward him.
Closer and closer, closer and closer…
