The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 170 I Seem to Have Planted Another Flag (4th Update)

Chapter 170: Chapter 170 I Seem to Have Planted Another Flag (4th Update)

Lin Yu and Flower Fairy had known each other for many years already, they debuted at the same time and made quite a name for themselves in Great Zhou.

Generally speaking, both being geniuses and women, they should have seen each other as rivals, but in the Orthodox Sects, even if they held enmity against each other, on the surface they would still be amiable.

However, Lin Yu’s personality was rather straightforward and open-hearted. After Flower Fairy got to know her, she also took a liking to her, and so the two of them traveling together through the martial world truly became the best of friends.

Among the younger generation of the Cultivation World at that time, there was no one who could rival the two of them, which made countless male cultivators enviously shiver.

When will we male cultivators be able to stand tall!

It was indeed quite rare to see two women like Flower Fairy and Lin Yu dominate their era, as usually, the younger generation of the Cultivation World would have many experts forming groups of the ten greatest experts, the four greatest experts, etc., debuting together.

Yet when it came to the era of Flower Fairy and Lin Yu, it was just the two of them.

After Lin Yu fell, Flower Fairy became the sole outstanding figure.

This had become Lin Yu’s only obstacle now.

With Flower Fairy’s current status, it seemed a bit out of reach.

"At worst, I’ll just deceive her. After all, my Yun’er is exceptionally talented, she won’t let her suffer losses."

Lin Yu hadn’t been in touch with Flower Fairy for a long time, but this time, she decided to write a letter to Flower Fairy.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lin Yun noticed Lin Yu suddenly starting to space out, and was somewhat puzzled.

Did I just say something?

"Uh, nothing, I’m just a bit tired."

Lin Yu felt embarrassed to admit that her plan to sell out her disciple had failed and now she had set her sights on her best friend.

No matter who it was, in any case, it was time for Lin Yun to focus!

"Then you should rest, I’ll leave for now."

Lin Yun did not stay to bother her, and only after stepping out of the door did Lin Yun suddenly remember something.

The Spiritual Liquid in his body seemed to help with recovery; by giving Lin Yu a bit of Spiritual Liquid, wouldn’t she recover?

Also, the Poison Dragon Gu Worm was causing Lin Yu’s vitality to leak away, and his Spiritual Liquid seemed just right to replenish that.

Doesn’t that mean there’s hope for her?

Although he would be replenishing her vitality as it leaked, this way, at least, it could save Lin Yu’s life.

Uh...

It’s just that he wasn’t quite skilled with the method of transferring energy, and currently replenishing someone with Spiritual Liquid had to be done mouth-to-mouth.

He had kissed a few girls earlier because the situation was dire, but to go and kiss Lin Yu now...

Lin Yun felt somewhat tempted.

Oh no, something’s wrong with me.

"Forget it, I’ll still ask Master about it."

Lin Yun knew that Lin Yu definitely wouldn’t agree. Just hugging her had already caused her to act like she was about to die. If he kissed her, she might truly pass away on the spot.

However, on the way to find Fang Yu, Lin Yun suddenly remembered that Fang Yu would probably be especially busy recently. It’s better not to bother her now, after all, Lin Yu wouldn’t die any time soon.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Each day, Lin Yun spent in the Scripture Pavilion. Over these three days, he voraciously studied some common knowledge of the Cultivation World. He had the benefit of a strong Divine Soul, which allowed him to quickly remember everything he read—the feat of a good memory that amazed mortals was actually quite ordinary in the eyes of cultivators.

Now, Lin Yun could be described as well-read, having gained a rough understanding of the geography and culture of the Cultivation World.

As for history, because there was so much of it, Lin Yun hadn’t systematically studied it yet.

It was also through reading that Lin Yun understood why the coastal areas were poorer—it was all because of the Sea Monsters.

Humanity in this world classifies all non-human species into demons, spirits, essences, and monsters.

Those among birds, beasts, fish, and armored creatures with spiritual intelligence are able to transform and cultivate the Dao to become demons, those with spiritual intelligence but unable to transform and cultivate the Dao become spirits, those with spiritual intelligence but innately inanimate become essences, and those without spiritual intelligence are monsters.

To give an example, Bai Jiaojiao is a demon, the Purple Crested Vermilion Bird is a spirit, Golden Thunderbolt is an innate essence, and the Green-eyed White-scaled Beast encountered overseas is a monster.

The first three are intelligent species with whom one can communicate, but monsters are different, they have strong physiques and formidable inborn divine skills, but act purely on instinct.

Monsters generally live in the sea, following the law of the big fish eating the smaller fish, and the larger monsters eating the smaller ones.

Powerful monsters possess fearsome divine skills, and if cultivators kill them, they can harvest materials from their bodies to refine into treasures.

However, there are so many sea monsters in the deep sea that even the most top-tier cultivators cannot cross the ocean to reach the other shore, and thus cultivators have a limited range of activity at sea, making it basically impossible for mortals to live near the coast.

Once a sea monster attacks, the sweeping waves make it impossible for mortals to survive.

There are indeed some specialized towns along the coast, where most people who go out to sea for hunting are concentrated, it’s just that Lin Yun didn’t happen to see them last time.

"By this account, it seems like the world is kind of small."

Lin Yun mused over the geographic atlas, feeling this sentiment in his heart.

Last time he flew, Lin Yun realized that Great Zhou was actually quite vast, stretching so much longer east to west than his previous country, and the same was true from north to south.

But if this was the extent of human activity, then it was too small.

Moreover, the most magical part was that this was clearly a Cultivation World, yet there were many places humans could not go.

To the west was the Land of Death, with no one having reached the end of the desert.

To the east was the vast ocean, with no one capable of crossing the sea.

To the south was the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons, with the Demon Tribe’s territory extending even farther south to the Flame Mountain, and in the Northern Desert, there was the Great Snow Mountain. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

No one knew what lay at the end of the four directions, as even the most top-tier cultivators found these regions too difficult to explore.

"I always feel there’s something off here."

Lin Yun muttered under his breath before shaking his head and laughing, "Surely not, surely not. It’s not like I could discover a great secret of the world just by reading a Sutra Pavilion book, right?"

After mocking himself, Lin Yun suddenly felt something was amiss.

Oh no, did I just jinx it?

"Knock knock knock."

As Lin Yun was lost in thought, his room door was knocked on.

Lin Yun went to open the door and saw the tall figure of Hu Yuling standing outside.

"Uncle Hu?"

"I came to tell you that the other Spiritual Medicines are prepared, and I am ready for the alchemy. When can the Phantom Herb be collected?"

Hu Yuling got straight to the point, though what she really wanted to ask was: devoted son, why haven’t you descended the mountain yet? She had negotiated with the organization to create opportunities for Lin Yun to leave the mountain, facilitating contact between the organization and Lin Yun.

For someone like him, Hu Yuling was truly uneasy to have him close by. Previously, when cooperation was friendly, she turned a blind eye, but Lin Yun should never have knocked on her door.

The organization might not be able to sweep through both the Righteous and Demonic paths, but taking care of a minor character like Lin Yun shouldn’t be a problem.

Yet, Lin Yun uncharacteristically did not want to leave the mountain. Could it be, he had sensed something?

That’s why she came in person to urge him this time.

"It should be soon, I’ve spoken to Sister Xiu Hui, and she will bring it back for me when she returns to the mountain."

Hu Yuling: "????"

Is that also possible?
