The Mantis Stalks the Cicada!
"I won't buy the spirit crystals for now, but do you know where I can get the Human-Faced Blue Crystal Grass?" Lin Ling continued.
"If it's in terms of cultivation of spirit herbs in Ocean of Clouds City, then the Ancient Deadwood Clan is the best. Young Master, if you want to obtain the Human-Faced Blue Crystal Grass, then head to the northeast of the outer city. You might be able to find it at the market there!" The middle aged man reminded.
Lin Ling nodded and walked out of the market.
Ocean of Clouds City was huge, and the outer city was divided between the various powers. Moreover, the Ancient Deadwood Clan was one of the 8 great ancient clans. So, it was obviously very difficult for the members of the Fire Ancient Clan to survive there!
After all, the 8 great ancient clans were in a state of open strife and secret strife!
So, Lin Ling pondered deeply for a moment before he withdrew the Ghost Face Mask from his talisman pouch. At the same time, he changed his clothes and continued forward.
In this way, others wouldn't know that he was a member of the Fire Ancient Clan, and it would save him a great deal of trouble.
A long time later, Lin Ling arrived at another bustling area. The streets here were filled with cultivators, and most of them were selling spirit herbs and medicinal materials.
Lin Ling found the largest market and asked about it.
"You've come at the right time. We just happen to have a Human-Faced Blue Crystal Grass here. I'll give you a price. 1,000 bottles of Energy Gathering Pills. Pay up! "An attendant spoke indifferently. This market was opened by the Ancient Deadwood Clan, so besides members of the Ancient Deadwood Clan, the attendants wouldn't show a very good attitude when other cultivators came to purchase things.
As for the Human-Faced Blue Crystal Grass, it was an extremely rare spirit herb as well, but it didn't have a wide range of uses, so its sales were usually mediocre.
Lin Ling paid no attention to the attendant's attitude, and he nodded indifferently, "I'll take it!" "Alright."
As soon as he finished speaking, he withdrew the Energy Gathering Pills from his talisman pouch. However, he'd just placed them on the table when a voice resounded from behind him, "Wait! I'll take this Human-Faced Blue Crystal Grass!" "Alright."
A handsome young man appeared behind Lin Ling. He didn't even look at Lin Ling. Instead, he looked at the waiter.
As for the young man, he had an icy cold expression, silver hair, and a white robe with the character 'Water' embroidered on the chest. Obviously, he was a disciple from one of the eight great ancient clans, the Zhang Clan. That ancient clan was called the Water Clan, and everyone in the city recognized that symbol!
"It's the young master of the Zhang Clan, and it seems he's a member of our clan!" The waiter's face changed slightly, and then he nodded: "Money in one hand, goods in one hand!" "
Although he only gave face to the Ancient Dead Wood Clan in the market, he didn't want to rashly provoke the Ancient Dead Wood Clan's Zhang Family for fear of causing trouble. Moreover, he also knew that the Ancient Dead Wood Clan and the Ancient Dead Wood Clan were currently in an alliance.
Therefore, if she had to choose between Lin Ling and Young Master Zhang, she would naturally choose Young Master Zhang!
"In this business, there's always first come, first served. I seem to be the first to arrive!" Lin Ling frowned.
"Haha, have you gone stupid? Is there such a thing as first come, first served in the city? If I like it, then it belongs to me. Fuck off! " The white clothed young man grunted coldly, and he didn't take Lin Ling seriously at all!
"What an idiot."
Lin Ling glanced coldly at him, and then he didn't speak any further. He turned around and left to look at the other spirit herbs!
"How ignorant! "
The white clothed young man laughed coldly with ridicule. As far as he was concerned, that masked cultivator was simply like a novice who'd just stepped into the Martial Dao, and he didn't even know who he could offend and who he couldn't in the city. Such a person wouldn't live for long!
However, his complacency didn't last for long because a young man around the age of 16 walked over slowly!
"Haha, the Water Clan? How impressive! You actually dared to come to our territory to buy things. You're quite bold. However, your luck isn't good. I just happen to need a Human-Faced Bluecrystal Grass today, so you'll have to return in disappointment! " Haha.
The young man was handsome and elegant, and he held a white jade fan in his hand as he spoke in a carefree manner.
"Huh? "
The white clothed young man frowned as he stared carefully at the young man's clothes. He knew that the young man was a disciple of the Ancient Deadwood Clan. Obviously, he wasn't lucky today and just happened to encounter a member of the Ancient Deadwood Clan who'd taken a liking to the Human-Faced Bluecrystal Grass as well.
"There's always a first come, first served rule in the trade. I seem to have arrived first, right?" The white clothed young man spoke in a low voice.
"Haha! Are you an idiot? Is there such a thing as first come, first served rule in my territory as well? If I like it, then it belongs to me. Fuck off! " The young man seemed to have noticed the arrogance of the white clothed young man just now, so he returned the white clothed young man's words to the young man!
Of course, he wasn't venting for Lin Ling's sake. It was even to the extent that he didn't even know that Lin Ling was a member of the Fire Ancient Clan. He just happened to need a Human-Faced Bluecrystal Grass and just happened to witness the scene from before.
Compared to an ordinary cultivator like Lin Ling, he naturally couldn't even be bothered to step on Lin Ling, and he would step on the disciples of the Water Clan.
"You!"
The white clothed young man almost wanted to attack, but he knew that this territory didn't belong to his Zhang family. If he caused trouble here, then perhaps he would have to leave lying down.
"You're so young, yet you're so domineering. Don't worry. "
The white clothed young man also left. As for the young man, he proudly whistled, causing the white clothed young man's face to turn as black as the bottom of a pot.
"You dare provoke me, Zhang Jian? I'll make you regret it. I don't dare offend you here, but if you leave this place, then you'll die. Haha, you're too young to see the world. Don't you know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?"
The white clothed young man didn't go far. He watched as the young man swaggered away after buying the Human-Faced Bluecrystal Grass, so he secretly followed him.
Clearly, he planned to assassinate him and then take back the Human-Faced Bluecrystal Grass.
Although his previous words had been very quiet and no one else had heard them, Lin Ling's Spiritual Strength was extremely sharp. He had long since heard what he had said, and a sneer appeared on his face beneath his mask.
The white clothed young man's thoughts were exactly what he was thinking. The only difference was that his previous target had been the white clothed young man. Who would have thought that the Human-Faced Bluecrystal Grass would be taken away by the Withered Wood Ancient race?
"The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Unfortunately for you, you're not the oriole."
Lin Ling also quietly left the city.
The streets were filled with people. The white clothed young man was extremely patient. He slowly walked forward, clearly looking for an opportunity. But there were just too many people here!
As for the young man in front of him, he was still as playful as ever. As he walked, he would play around with everything he saw. Occasionally, he would flirt with the women on the side of the road. An hour later, the young man passed by a group of brick houses. That was the slum district.
Most importantly, there were very few people here!
The white clothed young man who had been secretly following the young man sneered. His body transformed into a white light, blocking the young man's path.
Under an ancient tree, Zhang Jian stood with his back against the tree. He sneered, "My Human-Faced Bluecrystal Grass isn't so easy to take! "
With his back against the tree, he appeared and disappeared like a ghost. He gave off an unfathomable feeling.
The young man and his guard's expressions changed. They were clearly surprised.
"It's you! "
The young man quickly let out a startled cry.
