After the scorpions left, Linlong and Mo Wensong continued forward.
Later on, they encountered two more groups of scorpions, and the closer they got to the hall, the more scorpions there seemed to be.
Fortunately, they managed to avoid the scorpions.
At this time, they could already see the hall.
The main hall looked very dilapidated, but there were many luminous pearls inlaid on it. It was because of this that they could see it from so far away.
Suddenly, another pair of scorpions walked over.
Linlong couldn't help but reveal an expression of shock when he saw these scorpions. This was because over a dozen scorpions were actually carrying a black palanquin.
Could there be someone inside? Linlong and Mo Wensong could not help but look at each other. They could see the surprise in each other's eyes.
In front of the palanquin, there were two large scorpions leading the way.
What made Linlong and Mo Wensong's eyes narrow was that the palanquin was originally heading in another direction, but for some reason, the scorpions suddenly turned around and carried the palanquin in their direction.
Could it be that he had been discovered? The brows of Lin Long and Lin Yun furrowed.
However, the two of them still did not move because it was too dangerous to move at this time. They could only pray that the other party did not discover them.
To their relief, the palanquin stopped about a hundred feet away from them.
Then, the scorpions put the palanquin down.
Then, the curtain of the sedan was suddenly lifted to the side by a hand.
It was a beautiful hand.
Looking at the hand, the two of them were even more shocked because it meant that there was a person inside.
Reality proved that their guess was correct, because a woman walked out from inside. This woman was wearing a palace robe, and she did not look like an ordinary person.
Her figure was graceful, and her face was covered with a thin veil. Even so, it could not hide her otherworldly beauty.
Linlong could sense a powerful aura coming from her, but he couldn't tell how strong she was.
After the woman walked out, she got off the carriage and walked towards Linlong and Mo Wensong.
Had he really been discovered? Linlong's and Mo Wensong's hearts tensed up again.
Their nerves immediately tensed up as they prepared to engage in a fierce battle with the other party.
Step by step, the woman slowly walked towards Linlong. Her eyes were extremely bright, but Linlong realized that he couldn't see through her.
After walking for seven or eight meters, the woman suddenly stopped. Then, she bent down and plucked a blade of grass from the ground. This blade of grass looked very different from the grass around it, and it emitted a strong medicinal effect.
After taking a closer look at the blade of grass, the woman turned around and walked back to the palanquin.
Linlong and Mo Wensong couldn't help but feel relieved.
After boarding the palanquin, the scorpions carried the palanquin in the same direction as before.
After the scorpions left, Linlong and Zhou Wen continued to walk forward.
Before long, another group of scorpions appeared in front of them.
They hurriedly hid on the grass by the side.
They thought that the scorpions would eventually leave like before, but to their surprise, a group of scorpions suddenly crawled in their direction.
There were about twenty scorpions in this batch.
Were they discovered, or did they just happen to be heading in their direction? Linlong and Mo Wensong couldn't help but feel extremely puzzled.
Right now, they were in an extremely dangerous state because if they were discovered, this group of scorpions would definitely rush over together.
Right now, they could only pray that these twenty scorpions wouldn't continue to come over.
However, they were wrong, because these twenty scorpions had no intention of stopping at all.
It seemed like they could only flee. Linlong thought to himself.
At this moment, Mo Wensong suddenly said, "Little Brother Lin, I'll lure these scorpions away. The rest is up to you!"
As soon as his voice fell, before Linlong could react, he dashed to the right with a whoosh.
His appearance immediately attracted the attention of those scorpions. The twenty scorpions were the first to chase after him, and then the group of scorpions followed closely behind.
In an instant, the densely packed scorpions swarmed over, causing Linlong's scalp to go numb.
Soon, there wasn't even a shadow of a scorpion in front of him.
This was a good opportunity! With that thought in mind, Linlong immediately made his way forward.
What surprised him was that he didn't encounter any more groups of scorpions along the way. At most, he would encounter a few scorpions.
Because of this, Linlong quickly arrived outside the dilapidated main hall.
After using his divine consciousness to sense around and making sure that there was no danger inside, Linlong quietly came to a door in the main hall.
The door was closed, but with a gentle push from Linlong, the door was directly pushed open.
The inside was even brighter. With a glance, Linlong knew that it was because of the several larger and brighter night pearls at the top of the main hall.
The inside of the main hall looked equally dilapidated and empty. With a sweep of his gaze, Linlong could see that there were words engraved on the four walls of the main hall.
These four walls should have Mysterious Level fire-attribute cultivation techniques. With that thought in mind, Linlong immediately walked towards one of the walls.
At this moment, his brows furrowed because he felt a powerful aura appear outside the main hall.
Then, the door of the hall furthest away from him suddenly opened.
Everything happened so quickly that Linlong didn't even have time to hide.
Turning his head, Linlong could see a lady dressed in palace attire walking in from the door.
Although this woman was also wearing a veil, Linlong was sure that this woman was the one he saw just now.
"Pfft, pfft …"
At the same time, a similar voice rang out from behind the main hall. Without looking, Linlong knew that the outside of the main hall was already surrounded by scorpions.
"Who are you?" Looking at the other party, Linlong couldn't help but ask.
The other party didn't speak. Instead, she continued to walk towards Linlong. Her eyes were still very bright, but Linlong couldn't see any feelings for her.
"Miss, I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm only here to ask for a cultivation technique. Once I obtain that cultivation technique, I will leave immediately and won't disturb you anymore. If you want anything, I might be able to exchange it with you," Linlong said.
Even though he knew that there were many scorpions around and that the woman in front of him wasn't weak, Linlong still looked calm and composed.
The other party still didn't speak. Instead, she stopped about seven or eight feet away from Linlong.
Unfortunately, as soon as she stopped, the other three tightly shut doors opened with a bang. Then, over twenty scorpions rushed in.
Looking at these scorpions, Linlong's brows immediately knitted together. These twenty scorpions were all large and had the strength of a grade six savage beast.
"Don't tell me that you're using these scorpions to deal with me. If that's the case, I admit defeat!" Linlong directly said.
No matter how powerful he was, he didn't have the ability to resist these scorpions at all.
Who knew that the moment he finished speaking, the scorpions would immediately rush towards him.
Even though Linlong knew that he was no match for them, he could only brace himself and use his strongest strength to deal with these scorpions.
However, he already had problems dealing with one scorpion, let alone so many of them. Therefore, after a fierce battle, he was directly subdued by these scorpions.
After that, the woman in the palace dress walked towards him again.
"Who exactly are you? What exactly do you want? Did you capture the friend who came in with me? "Linlong couldn't help but ask a series of such questions.
However, the woman still didn't speak.
After walking in front of Linlong, she suddenly said, "I need the True Phoenix Blood. I hope you can help me find it!"
Her voice was very pleasant, but it was extremely ethereal and emotionless. Her eyes also didn't have any fluctuations.
"True Phoenix Blood? What is that? "Linlong couldn't help but be puzzled.
However, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of answering him.
At this moment, a loud "boom" was heard, and a large hole actually split open in the center of the hall.
Then, the few scorpions that were restraining Linlong suddenly brought him to the side of the huge hole.
Could it be that there's another floor below? Such a thought flashed in Linlong's mind.
However, when he looked down, he was extremely puzzled because it wasn't dark below, but there was a lot of light.
It was also at this moment that the few scorpions that restrained him suddenly threw him into the large hole.
Linlong hurriedly used his movement technique. However, he was shocked to find out that he couldn't use his movement technique at all.
What's going on?
Fortunately, there seemed to be an invisible energy supporting his body below, preventing him from falling so quickly.
After falling for an unknown number of feet, Linlong finally saw the terrain below. Although the light was somewhat dim, he could still see an endless mountain range.
Not good! Suddenly, he was greatly alarmed.
This was because he discovered that the energy supporting him had already disappeared. Then, he immediately accelerated his fall.
After a while, he ruthlessly smashed into a stone.
Falling from such a high height, even the body technique behind him was directly smashed and knocked out.
After smashing into the stone, he continued to roll down for a period of time before coming to a stop.
At this moment, a fierce beast not far away from him heard the commotion and directly rushed over.
It was a leopard, and its speed was extremely fast. Very quickly, it rushed in front of Linlong.
At this moment, Linlong was still unconscious, so how could he know that he would encounter such danger.
Just as the leopard was about to continue pouncing, a sharp arrow suddenly shot toward it. Even though it dodged to the side, the arrow still brushed past its body, leaving a bloody mark.
Although it didn't suffer any fatal injuries, it didn't dare to rush over to fight Linlong. It directly turned around and fled.
After the leopard fled, a fifteen or sixteen year old girl carrying a bow ran over. The girl was wearing a servant's clothes.
There were a few people behind this girl, and the one in front was a seventeen or eighteen year old girl. Although her appearance was ordinary, she looked dignified.
Behind her were two women dressed as servants.
The fifteen or sixteen year old girl quickly ran to Linlong. After checking his breath and pulse, she couldn't help but exclaim happily, "Miss, he's still alive."
Hearing this, the seventeen or eighteen year old girl quickened her pace. Soon, they also reached Linlong's side.
"Xiao Qin, give him a healing pill and bring him home for a doctor to take a look," the seventeen or eighteen year old girl said.
"Okay." Xiao Qin immediately gave Linlong a healing pill.
Then, Xiao Qin and the two other women carried Linlong and walked down the mountain.
After an unknown period of time, Linlong slowly woke up. After waking up, he realized that he was sleeping in an unfamiliar house.
"Where is this?" Linlong was extremely puzzled.
Then, he remembered that he was thrown down from the hall by the woman in the palace dress, and then smashed into a rock …
Could it be that I was saved by someone on the tenth floor? Linlong thought to himself.
As he was thinking, footsteps came from outside. The door opened, and a fifteen or sixteen year old girl walked in with a bowl of medicine.
Seeing Linlong open his eyes, the girl said happily, "Hey, you're awake."
Then, she hurriedly brought the bowl of medicine to Linlong and said, "This is medicine to treat internal injuries …"
"Thank you, Miss." Linlong sat up and took the bowl of medicine from the girl.
However, he didn't drink it because he felt that there was nothing wrong with his body.
So, he asked directly, "Miss, may I know where you are?"
Although he felt that this was the tenth floor of the underground world, it was obviously different from the previous nine floors. He felt that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
"We're in Southweek Town," the girl replied.
"Southweek Town? What's the name of this world?" Linlong asked again.
"We're in the Cangyun Continent. Don't you know?" The girl was puzzled.
"Cangyun Continent? Aren't you in the tenth floor of the underground world? "Linlong couldn't help asking.
"What underground world? This is the first time I've heard of it. "The girl was even more puzzled.
As expected, things weren't as simple as they seemed. Linlong couldn't help but think when he saw the girl's reaction.
He immediately smiled. "I fell too hard and forgot many things. I don't know where I came from, and I'm even confused about some things."
"Is that so? I was going to ask where you're from." The girl couldn't help but widen her eyes. "But you're really lucky. Not only are you fine after falling from such a high place, you actually didn't suffer any serious internal injuries."
"Is that so? Then I'm really lucky … Hmm, what's your name?" Linlong asked.
"My name is Xiao Qin, and I'm the personal maid of my young mistress."
"Your young mistress?"
"My young mistress is Lu Yue, the young mistress of the Lu clan in Southweek Town. The Lu clan is a small clan in Southweek Town …" Xiao Qin immediately introduced herself.
After chatting with Xiao Qin for a while, Linlong finally gained some understanding of this world and Southweek Town.
Linlong then asked again, "Xiao Qin, do you have any cultivators here?"
"Cultivators?" Xiao Qin was taken aback. "You're asking about beastmasters, right?"
"Beastmasters?"
"That's what it means to be a cultivator. However, in the Cangyun Continent, they're collectively referred to as beastmasters because they awaken their cultivation talent by devouring the bloodlines of vicious beasts," Xiao Qin explained.
"Devouring bloodlines?" Linlong was puzzled.
In his previous life, he had never heard of anyone awakening their cultivation talent by devouring the bloodlines of vicious beasts.
"That's right." Xiao Qin nodded heavily.
"What about you? Have you devoured bloodlines before?" Linlong asked.
"I … I've devoured the bloodlines of low-level vicious beasts, so my strength is very low. After cultivating for so many years, I've only reached the strength of a first class fourth layer beastmaster," Xiao Qin said awkwardly.
"Beastmasters are divided into nine levels, and each level is further divided into nine layers," Xiao Qin explained.
"How do beastmasters improve after devouring the bloodlines of vicious beasts?" Linlong asked.
"Naturally through cultivation methods, and then using martial techniques to fight against enemies. However, those with outstanding talent will be able to sense the vicious beasts' talents when devouring the bloodlines of vicious beasts. Of course, the higher the grade of the vicious beast's bloodline, the higher the possibility of being able to sense it," Xiao Qin said.
After some thought, Linlong asked again, "Xiao Qin, if that's the case, why don't you devour the bloodlines of high-grade vicious beasts?"
"Vicious beast bloodlines are very difficult to obtain. Usually, they can only be obtained from vicious beasts that have awakened their talents. However, such vicious beasts are very rare, and even if they are found, it takes a lot of effort to capture them.
"With our Lu family's strength, even if we find vicious beasts with high-grade vicious beast bloodlines, we won't be a match for those vicious beasts.
"It doesn't mean that your cultivation talent will improve with high-grade vicious beast bloodlines. For someone with low talent like me, even if I'm given a high-grade vicious beast bloodline, I won't be able to obtain the cultivation talent of high-grade vicious beasts."
After hearing Xiao Qin's explanation, Linlong roughly understood.
"Yes. Also, from low to high, vicious beast bloodlines are low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and god-grade," Xiao Qin added.
"Then, what about the Phoenix True Blood?" Linlong couldn't help but ask when he recalled what the woman in palace attire said earlier.
"The Phoenix True Blood? That's a god-grade vicious beast bloodline." Xiao Qin blinked, and then said, "We don't even dare to think about such a vicious beast bloodline. So, Young Master, I advise you not to think too much about it … Oh, by the way, how should I address you, Young Master?"
"My surname is Lin, and my name is Long." Linlong smiled.
"So it's Young Master Lin …" Xiao Qin nodded, and then said, "Are you a beastmaster?"
"Of course not." Linlong shook his head.
He had just arrived in this world, so how could he be a beastmaster?
"I see. When I saw you asking about the Phoenix True Blood, I thought you were a beastmaster … Alright, I have something to do, so I'll go out first. You stay here and recuperate quietly. Our young miss is a good person, she won't drive you away." Xiao Qin said.
After speaking, Xiao Qin walked out.
Was he going to devour the vicious beast bloodline? He wondered if his previous profound energy could be stimulated. With this thought in mind, Linlong tried to circulate the profound energy in his body.
However, what made him frown was that he still couldn't circulate the profound energy in his body.
Then he swallowed a Qi-strengthening Pill to test it out. The Qi-strengthening Pill had energy, but what made him depressed was that the Qi-strengthening Pill could stimulate energy, but the energy was very weak. He had taken a fourth-level Qi-strengthening Pill, but the energy stimulated was only equivalent to that of a martial artist at the peak of the first-level.
