Chapter 121 Sands of Time
The soil in the Eternal Night Forest was soft and fertile. The group first pulled off the grass on top, and then rolled up their sleeves and started digging.
Everyone here is at the Nascent Soul stage, digging some soil shouldn't be difficult, right?
They quickly dug a large pit ten meters deep.
The Time Sand that the Treasure-Hunting Mouse mentioned was something none of them had seen before. So, after digging about ten meters deep, they noticed a change in the soil texture and carefully slowed down their digging pace.
Although it was called sand, when gathered together it resembled a stone. It was just more porous and would crumble into gravel with the slightest tap.
The people below discovered a layer of soil that resembled Time Sand, so they switched to small shovels and dug carefully. After clearing the area around the Time Sand ore, they found that the ore was indeed quite large, about the size of a millstone.
Everyone was overjoyed – since the Treasure-Seeking Rat said that this Time Sand was the main ingredient of the Refining Void Pill, it must be extremely valuable.
Thinking about the refining of the Void Refining Pill, how much Time Sand would be needed for one dose? A piece the size of a fist would definitely be enough.
How much can they sell this huge piece for?
I really can't imagine it!
Anyway, we've made a fortune!
The group carefully carried the Time-Space Sand away in its pot.
When the ore was finally brought to the surface, even the treasure-hunting rat was surprised.
It knew the ore was not small, but it didn't expect it to be this big.
After everyone finished watching, they were about to tell Lin Zhifeng to put it away when suddenly a voice sounded behind them.
This person hadn't made a sound at all until he made a noise, at which point everyone noticed his presence.
This person was clearly at the Nascent Soul stage, and had been lurking nearby for some unknown time. He only revealed himself after Lin Zhifeng and the others dug out the Time Sand.
What he wants to do is obvious to everyone without needing to guess.
It's unclear whether he wanted to steal it or exchange it.
The man said, “Young friends, don’t be afraid, I won’t take it from you. I see that your piece of Time Sand is quite large, so why don’t you give me a piece, about the size of a fist?”
Lin Jun and his group don't care whether he's a Nascent Soul cultivator or a Spirit Transformation cultivator; they can't just rob him in broad daylight, can they?
Although they were all only at the Nascent Soul stage, their numbers made up for it.
Moreover, they are all sword cultivators, and are naturally adept at fighting against others of higher levels.
That person was all alone; if a fight broke out, it was uncertain who would win or lose.
Moreover, Lin Jun believed that as long as that person was not mentally unstable, he would definitely not dare to offend the Sword Sect easily.
Therefore, after this person asked for the Sand of Time, no one responded.
Lin Zhifeng had already added the Time Sand to his inventory. Now, even if he killed Lin Zhifeng, he wouldn't be able to get the Time Sand.
Of course, looking across the entire cultivation continent, there really isn't any legitimate sect that would dare to openly kill Sword Sect disciples.
If that day ever comes, wouldn't the Sword Sect mobilize its entire force to demand an explanation? They wouldn't even dare to return without wiping out the other side.
The members of the Sword Sect, backed by the sect, were fearless and not intimidated at all by those who came up to divide the spoils.
Seeing Lin Zhifeng swiftly put away the Time Sand, Lin Jun couldn't help but smile. Our little Lin, he always has that much energy.
Lin Jun suppressed his laughter, rolled his eyes at the newcomer, and said, "Sorry, our Sword Sect has many disciples, several thousand of whom are currently at the Nascent Soul stage. We don't even have enough for ourselves! If you have any needs, brother, you might as well keep looking! We just dug around and found some. This forest is truly full of treasures."
The disciples of the Sword Sect were struggling to suppress their laughter as Lin Jun spoke in such a sarcastic tone.
The newcomer said, "Oh, so you're neighbors! I am Fang Yuan from the Divine Sword Sect. Could you please do me a favor, considering our sect leaders were once fellow disciples?"
Lin Jun and the others already disliked this person for shamelessly taking advantage of his high cultivation level to be a "freeloader." Now, hearing him introduce himself as being from the Divine Sword Sect, they were even more furious.
Although Lin Jun and his group were not qualified to participate in the inter-sect martial arts tournament held at the Divine Sword Sect last time, they had heard about the difficulties Lin Zhifeng and his group had faced.
They were furious with him then, but unfortunately he wasn't qualified to participate and couldn't cause trouble in front of them. (Elder: Let's see who dares to cause trouble! Watch out!)
They remembered this grudge back then, but never had a chance to retaliate. Now this person dares to claim he's from the Divine Sword Sect and tries to curry favor with the two sect leaders. Heh...
Lin Jun and the others thought: This person seems to be unaware of the truth. He doesn't know that the two sect leaders have long been enemies, otherwise he wouldn't be offering himself up to be beaten.
In fact, Lin Zhifeng had already recognized the sect leader of the Divine Sword Sect, who was also his uncle, Feng Bao. Now, the uncle and nephew were not only not enemies, but very close. Moreover, the two were now selling medicine together. However, they had deliberately kept all of this a secret, and no one else knew about it.
In Lin Zhifeng's view, if this person was truly from the Divine Sword Sect, then he could sell him some Time Sand. However, even if he was from the Divine Sword Sect, he would have to exchange it for spirit stones or medicinal herbs. Trying to get something for nothing was out of the question.
Lin Zhifeng was worried that Lin Jun would start with a barrage of sarcastic remarks, and he didn't want to make things too ugly with the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect for his uncle's sake.
Lin Zhifeng then spoke first: "Since this senior uncle is a disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, then everything is negotiable. I just wonder what senior uncle plans to offer in exchange? This Time Sand is priceless and hard to find. Senior uncle certainly wouldn't bully us juniors and let us suffer losses, would he?"
Fang Yuan had passed by this place before and saw about twenty people from their Sword Sect digging in the soil. Out of curiosity, he came over for a look and unexpectedly discovered the treasure-hunting rat on Lin Zhifeng's shoulder.
Now Fang Yuan knew exactly what was going on; there must be some treasure here.
So he stopped picking the spirit flowers and herbs and instead hid behind the crowd to watch.
When the Time Sand was unearthed, even Fang Yuan, a Nascent Soul cultivator, couldn't help but be tempted.
It should be noted that, overall, the Divine Sword Sect, both in terms of its sect members and disciples, possesses more than ten times the wealth of the Sword Sect. Moreover, Fang Yuan is a Nascent Soul cultivator with considerable wealth.
But this is Time Sand, one of the main ingredients for the Refining Void Pill! Even if you have money, you can't necessarily find it.
For a moment, Fang Yuan even considered simply taking them from them.
However, considering the sect leader's instructions before leaving, he asked him to help look after his nephew whenever he saw him.
It wouldn't be a big deal if I didn't take care of him, but if he dared to bully the sect leader's nephew, he would probably be in big trouble if Lin Zhifeng complained to the sect leader.
So Fang Yuan suppressed the evil in his heart and spoke up to demand it.
When Lin Zhifeng asked him what he was going to exchange for, he said in a friendly tone, "I have three main ingredients for the Transformation Pill here. How about I exchange them for a piece of Time Sand?"
