Origin Mountain City, Origin Mountain Tower.
An elderly man in a grey robe walked into the tower.
"Senior Feng Xing Zi," Dantai Qingrun welcomed him and said respectfully, "I'll have to trouble you with the illusory array."
Feng Xing Zi was an esteemed Grade 4 array master in the tower. Even the tower master of River Suppression Tower had to be courteous to Feng Xing Zi, let alone a tower master of Origin Mountain Tower.
Feng Xing Zi waved his hand and said casually, "You're welcome. I just happened to pass by your Origin Mountain City and heard that your Origin Mountain Tower had encountered a high-grade illusory array that could not be resolved. Thus, they sent me a message to ask for my help."
Feng Xing Zi did not exchange pleasantries with Dantai Qingrun. His eyes were filled with fighting spirit as he urged, "Hurry up and bring me to the illusory array. I want to see what kind of illusory array those demonic cultivators from Hades can set up!"
Dantai Qingrun was naturally not displeased with Feng Xing Zi's urging.
Magic formation masters like Feng Xing Zi were quite common. If they weren't interested in magic formations, they wouldn't spend so much time on the boring and difficult Dao of magic formations.
Dantai Qingrun nodded and prepared to bring Feng Xing Zi to the blood pool outside Origin Mountain City.
At this moment, a jade pendant on Dantai Qingrun's waist flashed.
It was a spiritual message from Jiang Rong.
Dantai Qingrun's Divine Thought sank into the spiritual message and read its contents.
Then, Dantai Qingrun's face turned cold.
"Tower Master Dantai, is there something urgent?" Although Feng Xing Zi was obsessed with arrays, he was not a pedantic person. Seeing Dantai Qingrun's reaction, he said, "If there is something urgent, just instruct one of your subordinates to bring me there. Tower Master Dantai's matter is more important."
Dantai Qingrun's expression returned to normal, "It's nothing urgent. Since Senior Feng Xing Zi is willing to help my Origin Mountain Tower, how would I dare to neglect you?"
…
"Lu Qingshan left the city with the Lin Clan's convoy at noon today. Destination: Zhenjiang City."
This was a message from Jiang Rong.
Zhenjiang City? Haha, do you think you can escape from me?
Dantai Qingrun sneered in her heart as a trace of complacency flashed through her eyes.
.....
Outside Origin Mountain City.
It had already been six hours since Lu Qingshan left. The Lin Clan's group really left as soon as they said so, without any delay on the way.
The animals pulling the carriages were not horses, but black rhinos with weak demonic beast blood in their bodies.
These black rhinoceroses were completely black, and their limbs were shockingly thick. They looked extremely strong.
On the forehead of the black rhinoceros, there was a single horn that shone with a black luster under the sunlight.
Although they looked ferocious, these black rhinoceroses were actually very docile and did not have the slightest bit of ferocity.
Due to the weak Demonic Beast bloodline in their bodies, these Black Rhinoceroses not only had immense strength, but also astonishing endurance and speed.
In just six hours, the caravan had already traveled a long distance.
The road had already changed from the main road that was more than ten meters wide when they first left the city to a mountain path full of potholes.
Lu Qingshan sat at the head of one of the carriages with his eyes slightly narrowed, looking very relaxed and content.
After accepting the mission, Lu Qingshan very cautiously inquired about the employer's information.
The Lin Clan was a small cultivation clan in Origin Mountain City that controlled a Green Light Stone mine.
Green Light Stone was a first-grade ore. Although it was not very precious, it had many uses in refining Artifacts, and could be considered a rather popular ore.
Therefore, with this Green Light Stone mine, the Lin Clan could be considered to have developed quite well.
The Lin Clan's master was an early-stage Foundation Establishment Dharma Cultivator, but he was nearing the end of his life.
If the Lin Clan could not produce a second Foundation Establishment Cultivator before the master died of old age, the Lin Clan's decline would be inevitable.
Without a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, they would not be able to protect the Green Light Stone mine.
The Ma Clan, which was not far from the Lin Clan, had been coveting the Lin Clan's Green Light Stone mine for a long time.
As for why the Lin Clan wanted to escort this large batch of goods to Zhenjiang City, which was thousands of miles away, one had to mention the Lin Clan's origin.
The Origin Mountain City's Lin Clan was a branch of the Zhenjiang City's Lin Clan many years ago.
Although they had separated from the main clan, after so many years, the two clans still maintained some vague connections.
For example, every three years, the Origin Mountain City's Lin Clan would offer a large batch of Green Light Stones as a tribute to the main clan in Zhenjiang City in exchange for some support from the main clan.
These dozens of carriages of goods were the Green Light Stones that were to be offered to the Zhenjiang City's Lin Clan.
Due to the large quantity and the low value of a single Green Light Stone, these Green Light Stones could only be transported to Zhenjiang City in the form of mortal goods, and could not be transported through storage Dharma artifacts.
The reason was very simple. In order to store so many Green Light Stones, the storage Dharma artifacts required far exceeded the value of the Green Light Stones themselves.
In the past, the Lin Clan only needed to rely on their own manpower to escort these Green Light Stones to Zhenjiang City.
However, due to the Clan Head's impending death, the Lin Clan was anxious to nurture a second Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Not long ago, the Clan Head of the Lin Clan brought the various Clan Elders out to kill a Second Rank demon beast in exchange for a few Foundation Establishment Pills.
Although they succeeded in killing the Second Rank demon beast in the end, the few Clan Elders and Clan Head who were in charge of the clan suffered heavy injuries and could only recuperate in their cave abodes.
As for the matter of the tribute, it was a matter of great importance. Helpless, the Clan Head's daughter, Lin Yao, who had never shown her face in front of others, could only personally lead a team to escort the Green Light Stones to Zhenjiang City.
Due to the lack of manpower and the urgency of time, she issued a hiring mission to the Demon Hunter League.
The rise and fall of such a small clan was very common in the world of cultivators. It was an insignificant matter.
Lu Qingshan did not care.
As long as they could bring him to Zhenjiang City, it was fine.
.....
The carriages had been traveling for a day.
The journey was very peaceful, so peaceful that Lu Qingshan felt a little bored.
Looking at the situation, the thirty pieces of First Rank Spirit Stones would be easily obtained.
Perhaps because of this, the rest of the demon hunters in the convoy seemed to be in a good mood, and they began to talk and laugh.
Lu Qingshan glanced behind him.
There was a carriage, and in the carriage was the mysterious daughter of the Clan Head of the Lin Clan, Lin Yao.
For the past day, Lin Yao had not shown up. The one in charge of handling things was always Lin He.
Lu Qingshan could occasionally see Lin He reporting something to Lin Yao through the curtain of the carriage.
Thump —
Someone knocked on the container of Lu Qingshan's carriage.
Lu Qingshan looked in the direction of the sound. It was a middle-aged Demon Hunter named Mu Shan.
"What's the matter?" Lu Qingshan frowned and asked.
With such a big movement, this Mu Shan obviously came to provoke him.
But why?
"Kid, you haven't said a word along the way. You're so bored!" Mu Shan's voice was rough and his tone was impudent.
They were both Qi Refinement cultivators, but he didn't call Lu Qingshan "kid". It was obvious that he looked down on Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan saluted Mu Shan and said, "I'm an introvert. If I've disturbed you in any way, please forgive me."
His words sounded very polite, but when translated, it meant, "What does it have to do with you if I don't say anything?"
Mu Shan didn't know how to respond to Lu Qingshan's rebuke. Seeing the Lin Clan cultivators snickering, he felt embarrassed and said, "You're just a kid. You think you're worthy of being on the same team as me? I'm afraid you're just a First Rank Qi Refinement cultivator. You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. "
Lu Qingshan smiled but didn't say anything. He looked at Mu Shan calmly.
Mu Shan saw Lu Qingshan's stubborn expression and knew he couldn't do anything to him, so he could only leave.
Lu Qingshan looked at Mu Shan's back as he left, a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
If Mu Shan was born in a big clan, it would be fine. But with Mu Shan's appearance and his identity as a Demon Hunter, it was obvious that he was a Loose Cultivator.
Itinerant Cultivators had always been cautious and careful.
How could there be a rogue cultivator like Mu Shan, who would provoke a stranger just for a random reason?
How could a Loose Cultivator like Mu Shan survive until now?
Something was very wrong.
With that thought in mind, Lu Qingshan cast the Heaven's Eye Technique on Mu Shan.

Looking at the data in front of him, Lu Qingshan's eyes narrowed.
He seemed to have found something strange.
A thought came to his mind.
Could it be?
Lu Qingshan cast the Heaven's Eye Technique on the rest of the Demon Hunters one by one to verify his guess.
Then, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Sure enough, these 30 Grade One Spirit Stones were not easy to earn.
