Scum Of The Demonic Sect

Chapter 93 Leaving the Sect

"Indeed, I was quite surprised when I heard this news!" Li Shuntian echoed Lin Haoming's strong reaction.

Lin Haoming asked expectantly, "Although the Azure-Eyed Ice Toad isn't strong, it's extremely rare. How did it appear in the outer sect? Did you receive it?"

Li Shuntian shook his head and said, "Of course not. The other party is very cautious, and they've confirmed that the Azure-Eyed Ice Toad isn't in their hands, but in the hands of a certain cultivation family. Anyone who wants it needs to trade with that family. Because this thing is too precious, one piece costs thousands of spirit stones, so I dare not make a decision!"

"Oh! Who is the other party? Is he trustworthy?" Lin Haoming asked.

"The person who leaked the information is Lin Feiyang. Judging from his tone, he seems to be an old acquaintance of yours, Senior Brother Lin, saying you'll believe him!" Li Shuntian said.

Lin Haoming was surprised that Lin Feiyang would have such news.

"I've had some dealings with this person. If it's him, it might be true. Did he leave a way to contact me?" Lin Haoming asked.

"Yes, he left a communication talisman. If you're interested, Senior Brother Lin, you can call him over immediately!" Li Shuntian took out a communication talisman from his storage bag.

"Alright, call him over right away!" Lin Haoming ordered without hesitation.

Lin Haoming hadn't seen Lin Feiyang since the spirit stone mine competition began.

Seeing him again, he found that the guy hadn't changed much; at least, he still gave off a poor, shabby impression.

"Senior Brother Lin!" Lin Feiyang addressed Lin Haoming, who was now dressed in inner disciple's robes, differently.

Since he addressed him as "Senior Brother," Lin Haoming didn't stand on ceremony and greeted him with a smile, "Junior Brother Lin, please come in and have a seat. Let's talk slowly!"

Leading Lin Feiyang into the soundproof room, and leaving Li Shuntian to stand guard outside, Lin Haoming asked with a smile, "Junior Brother Lin, I heard you have a Jade-Eyed Frost Toad?"

"This isn't mine; it belongs to my former family!" Lin Feiyang replied.

"Your family?" Lin Haoming seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

Lin Feiyang appeared to be around forty years old and had been at the sect for quite some time.

"I come from a small family in Ningmeng Mountain. The family head is my uncle, but his cultivation is only at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage. I was sent to the sect to cultivate by my family from a young age. Unfortunately, although I'm considered to have the best aptitude in the family, I'm quite mediocre here!" Lin Feiyang sighed bitterly.

Lin Haoming knew that Lin Feiyang was a cultivator with three spiritual roots, far superior to his own mixed spiritual roots. However, it seemed his luck wasn't very good, and his cultivation progress was consistently slow.

"Junior Brother Lin, what about the Azure-Eyed Frost Toad?" Lin Haoming, not wanting to hear more about his family's affairs, immediately asked.

"Senior Brother Lin, this Azure-Eyed Frost Toad was discovered by my uncle by chance near a cold pool in Ningmeng Mountain. This Azure-Eyed Frost Toad is extremely rare, and my uncle spent a lot of effort to catch it. Unfortunately, it's not very useful for our cultivation, and there's no one willing to pay a price for it, so it's been sitting there, waiting for a future outstanding member of the family to appear so we can sell it to him for cultivation!" Lin Feiyang said.

"So your family has produced an outstanding member?" Lin Haoming asked casually.

"No, not really. Actually, because this thing is quite difficult to sell, we've changed our minds after keeping it for so long. We'll sell it as soon as a suitable buyer comes along. Since you want to buy it, Senior Brother Lin, of course I'll sell it!" Lin Feiyang said.

"From what you're saying, you're going to go to Ningmeng Mountain with me?" Lin Haoming asked.

"Of course. My uncle can't leave the family. But don't worry, Senior Brother Lin, my family isn't far from the sect. After we leave the sect, we'll fly north, and it'll take about half a month to get there!" Lin Feiyang said.

Flying for that long isn't considered far? Lin Haoming could only smile. But thinking about it carefully, this distance wasn't too far for cultivators. A Foundation Establishment cultivator could fly there in two or three days at most, and a Golden Core cultivator could fly there in just a few hours.

"Alright, but are you sure your uncle will sell it?" Lin Haoming asked.

"Of course!" Lin Feiyang affirmed.

Seeing his assurance, Lin Haoming, knowing him as he did, didn't want to waste time and asked directly, "Alright, if we're going to leave, the sooner the better. Is there anything you need to prepare?"

"I'm just a minor manager, after all. I still need to go back and discuss this with the steward, otherwise it won't be easy!" Lin Feiyang said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Then hurry back. I'll wait for you for two hours. After two hours, we'll leave together!" Lin Haoming said in a commanding tone.

"Don't worry, I'll be back as fast as I can!" Lin Feiyang replied and immediately ran off.

Just as he said, he returned in just over an hour. Then the two of them left the sect together, flying north.

Since arriving in this world, apart from going to Red Leaf Mountain, Lin Haoming hadn't really gone anywhere else, staying entirely in the sect's abyss.

The Blood Refining Sect is located in the Blood Flame Mountain Range, which is in fact a treasure trove. Rare flowers, exotic herbs, and precious spirit beasts are scattered throughout the mountain range; encountering one could easily bring a small fortune.

In fact, because of the abundance of these rare treasures, the sect's treasure-hunting quests attract many cultivators. Of course, treasure hunting comes at a price; besides the possibility of encountering ferocious spirit beasts, fighting among cultivators is extremely common.

Lin Haoming and Lin Feiyang are both at the ninth level of Qi Refining. For low-level disciples who spend a lot of time in the Blood Flame Mountain Range, this is considered quite powerful. Therefore, they can simply fly and travel without being deliberately hindered.

However, at night, or when their mana is depleted from traveling, the two will carefully choose safe places to rest to avoid being ambushed.

In this way, three or four days passed in a flash, and the two had already reached the edge of the Blood Flame Mountain Range.

At noon that day, after flying for two hours, the two passed through a valley filled with scattered rocks. Lin Feiyang asked, "Senior Brother Lin, how about we rest for a bit up ahead?"

Having already covered a considerable distance, Lin Haoming nodded in agreement and followed Lin Feiyang to the pile of rocks. They each found a rock, settled down, and put away their magical artifacts to rest.

Both of them took out a spirit stone and held it in their hands to replenish their spiritual energy.

Although they were using low-grade spirit stones, Lin Feiyang clearly felt the pinch when using them, while Lin Haoming complained that the replenishment speed of these low-grade spirit stones was too slow.

Just as Lin Haoming was about to secretly take out a Spirit Gathering Pearl to replenish his energy, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Feiyang and suddenly noticed that the man sitting on a rock three zhang away was looking around erratically, as if searching for something.

Lin Haoming was about to ask when he suddenly saw Lin Feiyang leap off in a certain direction.
