Chapter 672: Chapter 237: Immortal Martial

Over the span of two days, the other party helped her slay many enemies and demons, allowing her to recuperate in peace.

"Miss Lei, you’re too kind."

Lin Zheyu waved his hand and said with a smile.

During these two days, just by staying here, he acquired six storage bags.

One of them was obtained from the Barbarian Race, made of a mysterious exotic beast’s skin, adorned with rugged and mysterious runes.

These were entirely different in style from the cultivator’s array patterns.

If he had to search on his own, he wouldn’t have encountered so many people in just two days.

Thanks to Lei Yunshu’s efforts this time, using herself as bait continually drew in the enemies.

"Since Miss is pretty much recovered now, I shall take my leave first."

Lin Zheyu chuckled with an air of elegance and said.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Xiao!"

"May I know where Mr. Xiao resides? I must come to visit and repay your assistance," Lei Yunshu cupped her hands and said sincerely.

Though she had remained wary of Lin Zheyu over the past two days,

he did not show any unusual behavior, not as if he had any ulterior motives.

"I have no fixed abode, roaming around, it was merely a small effort, Miss need not concern yourself with it," Lin Zheyu replied with a smile.

He was taking a step back to gain a step forward, not wanting to appear too self-serving, afraid of arousing her suspicion.

But indeed, Lin Zheyu sought nothing from Lei Yunshu.

He merely wished to use Lei Yunshu as an entry to the so-called cultivators’ circle.

"This is my token. If Mr. Xiao ever needs help, you can take this token to Guanghua City and seek me at the Lei Family."

Lei Yunshu yielded, taking out a jade pendant and handing it over.

"We shall meet again!"

Lin Zheyu accepted the jade pendant, cupped his hands, and said with a smile.

With that, he turned freely and vanished into the darkness.

"A chivalrous man, is he?"

Lei Yunshu looked in the direction Lin Zheyu departed, showing a faint smile.

She had met many Innate Realm Martial Artists who turned to the path of cultivation; these martial artists had a high level of mentality and potential.

Like Xiao Yu, who roamed the world and drew his sword to help when encountering injustice, she had seen many such martial artists.

In Lei Yunshu’s heart, she had already considered Lin Zheyu to be such a person.

"But his aura is rather peculiar, perhaps he’s on the path of Immortal Martial?" Lei Yunshu murmured to herself.

The so-called Immortal Martial is about continuing on the path of Martial Dao after ascending to the Innate Realm, instead of shifting to the path of cultivation.

This path has been proven unfeasible.

Yet there remains a large number of strong individuals who remain relentless on this path.

The strong from the Martial Alliance almost all pursue Immortal Martial instead of the traditional path of cultivation.

"An interesting fellow, I hope we meet again in the future."

Lei Yunshu silently said.

She looked towards the direction of the space-time node, tightly gripping the longsword in her hand as the spiritual power within her body slowly circulated.

With Mr. Xiao gone, she would have to rely on herself next.

...

"Really..."

"It was just a few polite refusals, you could have insisted a little longer!"

Lin Zheyu couldn’t help but mutter softly.

He had just, according to his persona, shown a carefree demeanor, declining Lei Yunshu’s goodwill.

He didn’t expect Lei Yunshu to not persist further!

This left Lin Zheyu with nothing more to say from what he had originally prepared.

"But at least I’ve gained something, at least I found out the location of the Cultivator Marketplace."

A faint smile appeared on Lin Zheyu’s face.

Over the past two days, he gleaned a wealth of information through casual conversation.

Through roundabout questioning, Lin Zheyu finally learned from Lei Yunshu about the nearby Cultivation Marketplace.

In Lei Yunshu’s view, the marketplace was not confidential, so she told Lin Zheyu its location.

So long as it did not concern important matters, Lei Yunshu generally would not hide it.

This also offered Lin Zheyu a cursory understanding of cultivation paths.

But it was merely a superficial understanding.

Because if he asked too blatantly, it would reveal Lin Zheyu’s lack of knowledge about the so-called cultivation world.

"No wonder cultivators are hardly seen in the mortal realm, they all operate within Grotto Heavens."

"Even the marketplace is inside a broken Grotto Heaven, how extravagant..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Lin Zheyu lamented.

Indeed, the Cultivation Marketplace is not in the Mortal Realm but rather in a broken Grotto Heaven.

In ancient times, the path of cultivation was incredibly glorious, and there were countless powerful Grotto Heavens and Blessed Lands.

As time passed, most of these Grotto Heavens became broken, with their Spirit Veins exhausted and Spiritual Energy depleted, thinner than even the external Spiritual Energy.

Nonetheless, there is considerable value to these broken Grotto Heavens.

By merely repairing the old arrays of these broken places, one could isolate the external forces of malice, making it suitable for use as a subspace lacking Spiritual Energy and the forces of malice.

There is no need to worry about the erosion of malice.

"I should find some time to have a look and experience the so-called cultivation world."

"But before that, I need to prepare, at least to improve my ability to conceal my breath."

Lin Zheyu silently said.

He harbored many secrets, and if he wanted to enter the cultivation world, he must first ensure his own safety.

’The Concealing Breath Skill is a must.’

’My Lightweight Skill still needs improvement.’

’Hmm, cultivators almost always have defensive magical artifacts. I need to improve my defenses and continue practicing the Body Refining Technique.’

Lin Zheyu pondered.

Once he returned to the Infinite Sect, he would lie low for a while to push his strength to the limit. After accumulating enough Source Power, he would then attempt to contact the cultivation world.
