After entering the guild, Lin Qing did not plan to go into the mountains immediately. Lin Qing had not practiced it since he obtained the Fourth Tier technique from Wilderness Inn.
He planned to perfect <Fire-Fusing Heart Stance>'s cultivation first and increase the speed of body tempering first.
So, Lin Qing began a short retreat, and Earthheart Marrow was consuming it rapidly. The energy consumption also slowly increased due to the additional practice of Fourth Tier skills. Now he still has to take time to go to some shops in the city every day to replenish extra Qi and Blood Realm energy.
Just a few days after the retreat started, Su Lan came to the door. The girl was dressed in neat clothes and had a dashing figure. When she saw Lin Qing opening the door, she immediately stepped forward and her tone was a bit urging:
"Xie Chen, stop practicing and come with me!"
Lin Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, with a calm expression. "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's a great thing!" Su Lan's eyes were shining brightly, and his tone was full of excitement, "The president is back, I will take you to meet the president."
With that said, Su Lan led Lin Qing out and introduced enthusiastically:
"Let me tell you, the president of our Demon Ember Guild is not only unfathomable in cultivation, but his appearance is also the best among Wildgoose City."
Lin Qing paused slightly and asked casually, "President, are you a woman?"
Hearing this, Su Lan immediately rolled his eyes and looked at Lin Qing helplessly:
"I said Xie Chen, you are too arrogant. You are so focused on cultivation that you don't hear anything outside the window. You have been a member of the Demon Ember Guild for so long, I thought you should have heard the name of our president."
Lin Qing Silently, after he joined the guild, he spent most of his time practicing in seclusion, and he did not inquire too much about the personnel in the guild.
When Su Lan saw this, he no longer held back, and slowly said the name that resounded throughout Wildgoose City:
"Our president, Chu Lingxi."
After the words fell, Su Lan stopped and stood aside with his arms folded, waiting quietly to see Lin Qing's shocked and horrified expression.
In her opinion, Chu Lingxi's name is very popular among the entire younger generation of the Summer Kingdom.
However, the shocking scene that was expected did not appear.
Lin Qing's face remained calm and calm, and his eyebrows were indifferent, as if what he just heard was just an ordinary name.
This time it was Su Lan's turn to be stunned. She blinked, looked at Lin Qing in disbelief, and asked hesitantly:
"Xie Chen, you... you have never heard of President Chu's name, right?"
Lin Qing shrugged slightly and said calmly, "I have never heard of it."
"I'm convinced by you!"
Su Lan was speechless for a while and couldn't help but wailed. He looked at Lin Qing as if he were looking at a peerless weirdo.
"We, President Chu, are the third in Hidden Dragon Ranking. You are only twenty-eight years old and have been in Fourth Tier for many years. After all, you are also a genius of the same Hidden Dragon Ranking, but you don't know anything about it?"
Lin Qing understood clearly in his heart, but there was still no fluctuation on his face.
He had never deliberately understood Hidden Dragon Ranking.
Among the top ten people Hidden Dragon Ranking, he only knew Sun Shaoping and Ye Lingchuan, among which Sun Shaoping was not the local genius of the Summer Kingdom. As for the names of the other geniuses on the list, he had never bothered to find out.
After all, the road to martial arts relies on one's own hard work. No matter how resounding the name of others is, it is not as real as the improvement of one's own strength.
"Let's go, take me to meet you." Lin Qing did not dwell too much on this topic, and spoke softly to signal.
Su Lan shook his head helplessly, feeling in his heart that this Xie Chen was really a cultivator, so he stopped talking and led Lin Qing towards the hall.
After arriving at the hall, Su Lan took Lin Qing up the wooden stairs to the side.
In the center of the second floor, there is a large and heavy long wooden table.
Behind the long table, a slender and tall figure sat.
Chu Lingxi is dressed in a dark black outfit that is tailored to fit her body, outlining her neat and sharp figure. Her long black hair is not carefully combed, but is simply tied up with a black hair tie. A few strands of hair fall down by her ears, adding a bit of casualness.
Her eyebrows are as sharp as swords, the bridge of her nose is straight, and her lips are sharp. She does not have the gentleness and softness of an ordinary woman, but instead has an innate awe-inspiring heroic spirit.
There is a free and uninhibited demeanor between her brows, which does not hide her ambition and arrogance. She has the unique elegance of a woman and the unparalleled courage of a strong martial artist.
Su Lan stepped forward and said to the woman delicately:
"Boss, this is Xie Chen."
Lin Qing's eyes were calm, and he nodded slightly towards Chu Lingxi who was sitting in the main seat. His posture was neither humble nor overbearing, which was regarded as a greeting.
Chu Lingxi's eyes slowly fell on Lin Qing. Those sharp eyes, as sharp as cold stars, glanced up and down for a moment with a bit of scrutiny and consideration.
After a moment, her red lips opened slightly, and her voice was cold and sweet, with a unique magnetism. It was not strong, but it had a convincing power:
"Hello, Xie Chen. I have heard about your reputation for a long time, welcome to join Demon Ember Guild."
"Since you have joined me, Demon Ember Guild, you are one of your own. The guild has its own corresponding welfare benefits. If you are in danger, the guild will come to protect you. If you encounter trouble outside in the future, you can report my name, Demon Ember Guild."
Lin Qing listened quietly and nodded slightly. "Thank you, President."
Then Su Lan took Lin Qing to say goodbye and left.
After meeting Chu Lingxi, Lin Qing didn't have too much trouble in his heart. He bid farewell to Su Lan and returned to his small courtyard again to continue his solitary practice.
The days passed quietly day by day.
In the next few days, Lin Qing was immersed in <Fire-Fusing Heart Stance>'s practice day and night.
Finally, on the twelfth day I came to the guild.
Fourth Tier Kung Fu <Fire-Fusing Stance Technique>, perfect!
With the completion of the first Fourth Tier technique, the breakthrough time on the panel has also been greatly reduced. Now it only takes 350 days to break through to Fourth Tier.
After the skill was perfected, the energy consumption to maintain the operation of his skill also skyrocketed again. Now his daily requirement of Third-Tier Ferocious Beast Meat has reached forty kilograms.
Lin Qing calculated the money in his hand and found that it could only support his twenty days of cultivation consumption.
"It seems it's time to leave for the Ten-Thousand Mountains."
Sitting back and forth is never a long-term solution. You can't wait until your money runs out before you think of a solution. You must prepare in advance.
Before departure, there are still some preparations to be done.
The long sword he used before was just an ordinary hundred-forged level. It was enough to deal with first- and second-level ferocious beasts, but if he went deep into the Ten-Thousand Mountains and encountered Third Tier or even stronger ferocious beasts, it would be a bit insufficient.
After some selection, Lin Qing bought a heavy dark iron long sword. The blade was thick and cold, the blade was sharp, and the material was far superior to the hundred-forged long sword.
After buying the long knife, he used all the remaining silver to buy Third-Tier Blood-Qi Pill.
After all the squandering, I only had a few dozen taels of silver left.
Burning the Boats!
This time when I enter Ten-Thousand Mountains, I have only one goal - to make money.
However, his main target is not the ferocious beast in the mountains.
But from the moment he stepped into Wildgoose City, there were those who coveted his treasures.
Wildgoose City North City Gate.
Countless warriors were entering and exiting the city, going into the mountains to hunt ferocious beasts, or returning laden with prey, creating a bustling scene.
After stepping out of the city gate, Lin Qing didn't stop at all. He suddenly stretched out his figure, and his whole body was like an arrow from the string, carrying a fierce sound of wind, and rushed straight into the depths of the dense forest.
The body was galloping, with afterimages appearing one after another, the speed was astonishingly fast.
Such a high-profile move attracted the attention of all the warriors at the city gate.
"Look! That figure, isn't that Xie Chen!"
"As expected of Hidden Dragon Ranking, this speed is too fast!"
The voices of discussion came and went, and the voices of admiration and admiration were endless.
And this overly flamboyant and high-profile behavior was like a bright fire in the dark, attracting countless malicious eyes in the dark.
The news of Lin Qing's high-profile departure from the city was transmitted back to Wildgoose City at an extremely fast speed, as if it had wings.
For a time, several forces in the city became restless.
Groups of well-equipped warriors quickly assembled, armed with weapons, and rushed out of the city gate in an endless stream, following the direction in which Lin Qing left.
Lin Qing, who was galloping, had a faint arc at the corner of his mouth, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.
The fish is already hooked.
Those chasing warriors still don't know who is the real hunter.
