Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 122 - 103: Ambushed (Part 2)

After walking for a short while, he saw the small, thin old man return from the front.

Slightly turning his head, Chu Ning unexpectedly noticed that the small, thin old man approached the middle-aged man again.

Then, the middle-aged man took out several pieces of Spirit Stone and handed them to him.

This scene instantly made Chu Ning widen his mouth slightly.

Good heavens, it turns out this small, thin old man is a decoy?

Just now, he appeared to be good-natured and experienced, which was certainly deceptive.

At this moment, Chu Ning couldn’t help but sigh for the youth who seemed to be from a Cultivation Clan.

The opponent was at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer, and these hundred pieces of Spirit Stone were not a small amount.

After such an incident, Chu Ning was even less interested in strolling here.

Presumably, this place is just a market for Low Tier Independent Cultivators; it wouldn’t have anything good.

Thus, Chu Ning turned around to leave.

At this moment, Chu Ning’s glance unexpectedly fell on a familiar face.

It was the Spirit Farmer who traded Cyan Spirit Fruit Seeds for Purple Sweet Potato Fruit with him on the first market day.

At this moment, he squatted there with a face full of distress, displaying several low-quality Spirit Plants.

"Life at the bottom of the Cultivation Realm is actually very strained. People only speak well of cultivation, but without talent and opportunity, this path of cultivation..."

Chu Ning felt slightly emotional and decided not to walk forward, to avoid the awkwardness of being recognized by the Spirit Farmer.

Seeing that the time was about right, he headed towards the market gate tower.

Chu Ning was the first to arrive, and after a while, Shen Zhengquan and Gu Xiaoqing arrived one after another.

The group chatted for a while until Luo Yiping and Lu Miaoying finally arrived.

"Oh, you all arrived earlier. Since everyone is here now, let’s go."

Luo Yiping looked quite pleased with ample harvest and said cheerfully.

Gu Xiaoqing and Shen Zhengquan responded repeatedly, while Chu Ning spoke with a grim expression:

"Wait a minute!"

Hearing this, the group looked at Chu Ning in confusion.

At this moment, Chu Ning was filled with inexplicable shock.

It wasn’t surprising that Chu Ning reacted this way because, just now, a figure quickly flashed by.

He actually saw the black-clad man who appeared outside Cyan Creek Talisman Workshop the day of the beast disaster.

Considering the events that happened during the beast disaster, Chu Ning deduced that they were most likely people from the Yin Demon Sect.

"Why would Yin Demon Sect people be here? Could it be they are specifically targeting us?

Or is this person not from Yin Demon Sect, and hence was not exterminated by the Sect back then?"

For Chu Ning, regardless of the situation, upon seeing that person, he felt the hint of danger.

"Chu Ning, what are you trying to say?"

During Chu Ning’s contemplation, he did not immediately continue speaking.

Luo Yiping immediately shouted with some dissatisfaction.

Chu Ning ignored the impatience in his words and said solemnly:

"I just seemed to see someone stealthily following you."

"What?" Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Luo Yiping turned his head in shock. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Gu Xiaoqing and Shen Zhengquan did the same, gazing into the market.

At the moment, there were many people coming and going in the market; no signs could be seen.

Luo Yiping turned back, looking puzzled at Chu Ning: "Where is the person you mentioned?"

"Once he saw me looking, he already walked away."

Chu Ning frowned slightly at this moment; that person just passed by from afar and now had already left.

Luo Yiping heard this and immediately showed a dismissive expression.

"You must be seeing things. How could there be someone following me in Wind Gorge Square? And even if there was, could they be seen by you?"

After Luo Yiping spoke, Shen Zhengquan also looked at Chu Ning with some suspicion.

"I’m not seeing things; there really was a black-clad person following you just now."

Chu Ning’s expression was certain and serious; clearly, this wasn’t the time to argue with Luo Yiping.

If there were indeed people from Yin Demon Sect appearing, overcoming this situation together was most crucial.

At this moment, he even guided several of them into that direction, saying:

"Didn’t the Yin Demon Sect disciples attack us during the beast disaster before? Is it possible they’re from that group?"

"Yin Demon Sect?" Hearing Chu Ning’s words, the group’s expressions changed.

During the beast disaster last time, they suffered considerably from the Yin Demon Sect people.

But soon, Luo Yiping raised his eyebrows, sneering:

"That’s even less likely. Last time, the Foundation Establishment Stage stewards from our Sect cooperated with Wind Canyon for a cleanup around the area; there’s no way there are so many people from Yin Demon Sect."

Gu Xiaoqing’s expression was quite serious at this moment and said:

"Better safe than sorry. Time is of the essence, we should leave quickly. Later, we’ll fly at full speed, regardless of Magical Power consumption.

I have some Replenishing Essence Pills here. I can share them with everyone for quick Magical Power recovery.

Everyone should be more careful on the road and look out for each other."

Speaking, Gu Xiaoqing took out several bottles of pills from the Storage Bag and distributed them to the group.

Chu Ning sighed internally; at this point, it seemed this was the only option.

He thought of looking for a Foundation Establishment cultivator in town who could send them away.

But clearly, for the time being, it wasn’t just finding one but they wouldn’t necessarily agree to send them away.

As for Lin Changqing and Du Han, they couldn’t be contacted at all.

Gu Xiaoqing’s suggestion seemed reasonable; returning to Yan Workshop as fast as possible was the priority.

"There are too few Teleportation Arrays near the Cyan Gorge Mountain Range; they only set up teleportation arrays over long distances."
