The three of them had been caught between advancing and retreating when they happened to run into Lin Xuan, so the yellow-robed cultivator naturally invited him to join them and proposed that after they killed the demonic beast, they would split the crystals they obtained equally.
Lin Xuan naturally did not lack crystals, but after a brief moment of thought, he nodded in agreement.
The yellow-robed cultivator was overjoyed and immediately pulled Lin Xuan over, introducing himself with hearty openness. "I am Zhou Liang. This is Brother Huang Zhong, and this is Fellow Daoist Ma Jin. I met them both on the road."
Lin Xuan cupped his fist. Huang Zhong was an old man with a white beard. From the look of him, he should have been seventy or eighty, but he was tall and powerfully built, his voice ringing like a great bell. Like Lin Xuan, he was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
As for the other man, Ma Jin, he wore a short black robe and looked about thirty, at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
"To meet Fellow Daoist Lin here can also be considered fate. Rest assured, as long as the four of us join hands, we will definitely be able to kill this demonic beast." Huang Zhong stroked his beard and smiled.
"That's right. A top-grade second-level demonic beast—selling the materials from its body for several thousand crystals should be no problem." Ma Jin rubbed his hands together, his face full of excitement. "For us Rogue Cultivators, this is truly a great fortune."
Lin Xuan echoed them with a few words as well, but in his heart, he was sneering. Rogue Cultivators?
Although the three of them did indeed dress like Rogue Cultivators, Lin Xuan only believed that Zhou Liang had not lied.
