The tall cultivator who had knocked down the lantern puppet was none other than Stone Slayer.
A disciple of the Myriad Arts Sect.
Lin Dong guessed.
Ever since their last encounter, Stone Slayer had been searching for the cultivator of the East Woods who had taken human form. Unfortunately, he would never know that the cursed body had been hidden deep underground.
Stone Slayer looked Lin Dong up and down. Naturally, he couldn't recognize the mechanical Lin Dong as the weak cultivator of the East Woods.
He was just trying to determine what kind of cultivator Lin Dong was.
His strength was unclear.
He was probably no weaker than himself.
His opponent's body had been completely mechanized.
There was also a mechanical puppet that was not of a high grade but had a very spiritual consciousness as a pet.
Of course, such cultivators weren't easy to bully. Besides, cultivators who specialized in mechanical arts usually belonged to a specific sect. Ordinary cultivators didn't have the fortune to learn mechanical arts, and didn't necessarily have the talent to cultivate mechanical arts. To be able to refine a person into a mechanical body and walk freely on the ancient path meant that he was at least an elite disciple of some sect!
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist. I am Stone Slayer of the Myriad Arts Sect!" Stone Slayer bowed with some reluctance.
"I am Mu Yuanzi of the Hundred Arts Sect." Lin Dong returned the greeting.
"Fellow Daoist, you've traveled thousands of kilometers. Did you encounter a wandering cultivator called the East Woods? Look, it's this kid! " Stone Slayer used the excuse of stealing a secret treasure from his sect. In addition, he added a reward of a hundred spirit stones for informing the sect, and a thousand for capturing the thief.
The latter was most likely Deng Luo's doing.
Stone Slayer said.
He carefully examined Lin Dong, who called himself Mu Yuanzi, to see how he would react.
Lin Dong's acting skills had improved, so it was impossible for Stone Slayer to see through him. Besides, he was a mechanical incarnation. Trying to see through him was a pipe dream!
"I've never heard of this East Woods cultivator!" Lin Dong shook his head, and the mechanical clattered. His current attitude showed that he didn't care about Stone Slayer's reward at all. Lin Dong pretended to be a tall, rich, and handsome man from a famous sect. A mere hundred Spirit Stones was nothing to him. However, Lin Dong also showed the self-restraint of an elite disciple of a famous sect. He didn't immediately flick his sleeves and leave.
"Master, Little Jumping Bean's head is broken. Ah, he can't see anymore!" The lantern puppet finally got up.
"It's alright. You'll be fine soon." Lin Dong extended his hand and tapped lightly.
The New Sprout technique was formed in the void.
Specks of green light flickered.
They gathered on the head of the lantern puppet.
The damaged parts quickly recovered, and even the extinguished lights were reignited. In an instant, the lantern puppet's' eyes' could see again.
Seeing how Lin Dong used the New Sprout Cultivator's Secret Art casually and effortlessly, yet the effect was astonishing, Zhan Shi was even more certain that this unfamiliar cultivator who came to Qingye City was an elite disciple of some famous sect.
"Ah, Little Jumping Bean's eyes can see again. That's great! Thank you, Master!" The lantern puppet jumped happily.
"Be careful when you walk in the future." Lin Dong didn't push the blame onto Zhan Shi. He acted like a well-educated disciple of a famous sect.
Actually, Zhan Shi charging out and knocking down the lantern puppet was a test.
He wanted to see how the other party would react.
He hesitated when he saw how Lin Dong didn't want to pursue the matter.
If they were close in strength, Stone Crusher would have liked to fight them. After all, he had learned many powerful secret magics and magical incantations from the House of Myriadmagic God Elemental, which meant that he wouldn't be at a disadvantage against cultivators of similar strength. Previously, he had used the excuse of looking for East Woods cultivators to provoke a few cultivators who passed by. He did have a lot of advantages when they fought, and one of the weaker Earth-element cultivators was almost killed by him. But now, facing an extremely rare mechanic cultivator, Zhan Shi didn't dare to provoke him.
There were too many strange things about the Art of Mechanisms.
They were different from metal, wood, water, fire, and earth cultivators. Their true strength couldn't be seen from the outside.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Zhan Shi decided to let this mechanic cultivator who called himself Mu Yuanzi go. Although he didn't see where Mu Yuanzi was, someone who could be called 'Mu Yuanzi' in a mechanic sect like the Hundred Crafts Sect couldn't be an ordinary cultivator.
Zhan Shi had heard that one of the Hundred Crafts Secret Arts was Mu Yuanzi.
It was obvious.
This Mu Yuanzi wasn't simple.
Lin Dong bowed and left. The lantern puppet continued to lead the way.
Even after Lin Dong had walked far away, Zhan Shi was still staring at his back. His expression fluctuated uncertainly. It was hard to tell if he regretted not robbing him, or if he had other intentions.
"Good thing you didn't act recklessly." The outwardly kind but inwardly treacherous Dengluo flashed to Stone Slash's side. Glancing at Lin Dong's departing back, he coldly snorted and said, "I know you're anxious because you can't find him, but this isn't an excuse for you to find someone to vent your anger on. Especially if you meet a cultivator from a sect like this, you'd better control yourself. Don't cause trouble for the higher-ups! "
"Maybe he's a fake. I saw that he didn't even wear the emblem of a sect, so he's probably a fake!" Zhan Shi wasn't convinced.
"What a joke. What kind of cultivator is he? Cultivators from the Hundred Crafts Sect usually wear emblems that are the core of their mechanism. How could they show it to others so easily? You'd better be respectful to a cultivator who can completely fuse his body with the mechanism. This guy has a good temper. If it were any other mechanic cultivator, they might give you a hard time! They might not kill you, but they will trap you in some place for a few days and nights, torturing you. At that time, you will know how terrifying these fellows are! "Deng Luo placed a lot of importance on mechanism cultivators.
"Hmph. I have the Vajra Tyrant Body. Why should I be afraid of his mechanisms?" Although Zhan Shi was stubborn, he was clearly afraid.
"Don't provoke him," Deng Luo warned again. "But I feel that this cultivator is very suspicious. Perhaps he's here for our Myriad Arts Divine Sect. After entering Qingye City, we'll send a spy to keep an eye on him."
"He's just a cultivator passing by, right?" Zhan Shi didn't believe this speculation.
"Have you forgotten? Three years ago, our Blood Condensation Elder killed a mechanism cultivator. Of course, that cultivator threatened that his sect would send people to take revenge. I suspect that this Mu Yuanzi is from the same sect as that cultivator. You don't know, but these guys who fiddle with mechanisms all day have a strange method of communicating with each other. Once they lose contact with someone, they can come looking for you from thousands of miles away. After entering Qingye City, immediately send out all the spies to keep an eye on him. No matter what he does, report to me. "The more Deng Luo thought about it, the more suspicious he felt.
How many years had it been since a mechanism cultivator came to Qingye City?
This place was very remote.
It was uninhabited.
Today.
Suddenly, a mysterious mechanism cultivator came from thousands of miles away. Wasn't that suspicious?
In Qingye City, Lin Dong strode over with the lantern puppet. The disciples of Qingye City didn't have any hostility towards an unfamiliar mechanism cultivator. They just asked about his identity.
Lin Dong came to Qingye City again. Of course, he couldn't pretend to be a Pill Master like Master Clear Spring and casually take out pills to exchange. His current identity was a disciple of the Hundred Crafting Sect. If he took out pills, not to mention Zhan Shi and Deng Luo, even the disciples of the Six Void Green Leaf Sect would be suspicious. Lin Dong strolled around the city a few times. He walked around like a newcomer. In front of him, behind him, there were people watching him.
Lin Dong didn't care about these gazes.
From time to time.
There would be disciples of the Green Leaf Sect coming up to ask about Lin Dong or use the excuse of selling spirit herbs to inquire about him.
"Passing by? That's clearly an excuse! " The current director of Qingye City had changed. It was no longer the previous Master Ashen Pine, but a more serious Shi Huzi. He wasn't as friendly towards Lin Dong as Master Ashen Pine. He was suspicious of Lin Dong's purpose in coming here.
There were still repercussions from the incident at the Netherworld Cave.
Because of this, the entire Six Void Green Leaf Sect was on high alert.
At such a tense moment, a strange cultivator with unknown strength suddenly came. If Shi Huzi didn't have any suspicions, then he would have to be an idiot!
"I don't want Spiritual Grasses, thank you very much. Our Hundred Crafting Sect does not have an in-depth understanding of the refinement of Spiritual Grasses. If possible, we might be able to trade for some Spiritual Wood." Lin Dong made a request to the cultivator who came to sell his Spiritual Wood.
"You want spirit wood? We have it! Follow me! "The Six Void Green Leaf Sect didn't lack spirit herbs or spirit wood.
When Lin Dong arrived at the place where the spirit wood was placed.
He shook his head and waved his hand.
He indicated that he didn't have spirit stones.
The peddler's face darkened. You don't have spirit stones and you still dare to say you want to buy?
Fortunately, the disciples of the Green Leaf Sect had changed their attitude towards trading after the arrival of Great Master Clear Spring. The disciple who was about to sell the spiritual wood managed to restrain his anger and asked patiently, "Fellow Daoist Mu Yuan, what treasures do you have to trade? I'll say this in advance. If it's not suitable, even if it's an item of equal value, I won't trade. Please forgive me! "
When Lin Dong saw that the Green Leaf Sect disciple's spirit wood was only a low-grade "Tiger Marked Wood", he laughed inwardly.
This kind of spirit wood can be exchanged for something good first.
You still want to be picky?
Tiger Marked Wood was a type of spirit wood whose bark was similar to the stripes on a tiger's body. Its quality was relatively low compared to other spirit woods. Its bark could be used as medicine, but its heart was at least ten times harder than ordinary wood. Tiger Marked Wood that was over a thousand years old was a qualified material for refining tools.
At this moment, in front of Lin Dong was a Tiger Marked Wood that was around five hundred years old.
Its heart was slightly smaller.
Moreover, before it was cut down, it must have been damaged by a powerful demonic beast. There were obvious marks on the tree trunk. It wasn't a naturally harvested spirit wood, so its value was greatly reduced.
"Do you like this five hundred year old Tiger Marked Wood?" Lin Dong didn't answer the other person and instead asked the lantern puppet.
"I like it! Little Jumping Bean wants to exchange for a better lantern handle. Master, do you want to buy it for Little Jumping Bean? Ah ah ah, Little Jumping Bean is so happy! "The lantern puppet was so excited that it jumped around the Tiger Marked Wood.
"But I don't have Spirit Stones." Lin Dong shook his head.
"Is that so? Little Jumping Bean is so sad! "The lantern puppet's way of expressing its sadness was still jumping around.
"…" The Green Leaf Sect disciple was speechless. Why did you come here if you don't have Spirit Stones? Are you kidding me? Don't think that I'll give it to you for free just because your lantern puppet can act cute. No way! I spent a lot of effort to find this Tiger Marked Wood. Don't even think of taking it away without two hundred Spirit Stones!
"Why don't I use my mechanical puppets to exchange with you?" Lin Dong suggested a method of exchange.
"I don't want your lantern!" The disciple was going crazy.
"Master, do you want to exchange me for the spirit wood? But I don't want to leave Master! "The lantern puppet also expressed its opposition.
"Not a lantern, but a puppet beast. What kind of puppet beast do you want? I can refine it for you, and I can even help you contract it!" After Lin Dong finished speaking, he added, "My lantern puppet has a mid-grade spiritual consciousness and is very talented in learning. Not to mention a five hundred year old Tiger Marked Wood, even if you gave me a hundred thousand year old Tiger Marked Wood, I still wouldn't give it to you!"
"…" The disciple who sold the spirit wood felt like his face was slapped swollen, but he still wasn't convinced. Who wanted your lantern? So what if you were talented in learning? Apart from being able to talk, it had no combat power at all. Who would want such a boring thing!
It was different from him.
When the lantern puppet heard that Lin Dong wouldn't give it to him, it immediately jumped in joy and cheered, "Great, so Master won't exchange it for Little Jumping Bean. Master is indeed the best, long live! Long live! "
